Dick: Tommy. Tommy, did you see this?
Tommy: We lost everything, Dick.
Dick: But why? How did it happen, Tommy? What made the stock go down?
Tommy: Well, that's the funny thing. It was just a little rumor, see?
Dick: A rumor?
Tommy: They reported it on CNN. Said the company had a little problem with overspending. Overspending.
Dick: But a rumor can't do that much harm, can it?
Tommy: Oh, a rumor? No. It can just turn a sweet girl into a whore and a rich man into a pauper!
