Dick Quote #1354
Quote from Dick in This Little Dick Went to Market
Dick: Well, we're not down yet. If one rumor can send our stock tumbling, then another one can bring it back up again. Follow my lead. [sits down at a table next to Judith & Strudwick] Now, Tom, keep this close to your chest, but I heard a rumor about Eversoll, Inc.
Tommy: Eversoll, Inc.? Isn't that a small company that manufactures toasters?
Dick: That's right.
Tommy: Toasters. Wow-wee! That is cutting-edge technology.
Dick: Yeah, that's right, but here's the big news. Rumor has it that the average Chinese person is eating more toast than ever. It's the hip new food. Rice is out, and toast is in.
Tommy: Toast, eh? So that means that the Chinese will be buying toasters up the ying-yang.
Dick: And that means that we'll be buying Eversoll up the ying-yang.
Tommy: Eversoll! [both chuckle]

Quote from Dick
Dick: No, let me explain. Let's say that these eggs represent all our money.
Tommy: Uh-huh.
Dick: And these containers represent stocks.
Tommy: I'm with you.
Dick: Now, if one of these stocks is doing better than all the others, then we should put all our money in that stock.
Tommy: Oh, I see what you're saying. So we should put all of our eggs in one basket.
Dick: No. We should put all our eggs in one bucket.
Tommy: No eggs in the basket?
Dick: Forget the basket.

Quote from Tommy
Dick: All right, Tommy. We were lucky enough to land on earth in the middle of the biggest bull market in history, so it's time that we took advantage of it.
Tommy: And you expect to make enough money in the stock market to take Albright to Cancun.
Dick: Yeah. But if we'd found out about the stock market when we first landed here, we would own freakin' Cancun.
Tommy: Excuse me. I read all about it right after we landed.
Dick: Well, why didn't you say anything?
Tommy: Dick, I was thirteen-years-old, I wasn't obsessed with money. I was obsessed with boobs.
Dick: Well, why haven't you said anything since?
Tommy: Again, boobs.
