Quote from Sam in Fools and Their Money
Sam: Sit down, Woody. I've been trying to think of an easy way of saying this, but I don't think there is any. I never placed your bet with my bookie. Here's your thousand dollars back. Woody: You never placed the bet? Sam: No, I was trying to take care of you the way Coach used to take care of me. And it worked out about as well, too, which scares the hell out of me.
