Quote from George Sr. in The Untethered Sole
Lucille: That's right. Because when we sell Fakeblock, we give the money right back to the Chinese before they get angrier. George Sr.: Angrier? Lucille: I didn't tell you, but they left a message saying that they hope their gift was enough to "get us back on our feet." George Sr.: They're- They're threatening our feet? Michael: You don't think these Chinese would first try to, I don't know, ding your credit rating? Lucille: It's their culture. Dusty was right. I will say this for Saddam Hussein. With him, you didn't have to guess. It was very direct. "I'll chop this off, I'll chop that off." George Sr.: Right. With him, you knew where you stood. Or- Or couldn't.
