Quote from Kirk in Blame Booze and Melville
Kirk: Sally Forth is on fire today. On fire! Luke: Where did you get a quarter of a million dollars! Kirk: What? I don't have a quarter of a million dollars. Luke: You don't? Kirk: No. Just shy. It's $247,868. Sixty-seven, if I get a couple of donuts to go. Those chocolate raised are calling my name. Luke: Where the hell did you get that much money? Kirk: I've been working for eleven years, Luke. I've had fifteen thousand jobs. I've saved every dollar I've ever made. That and the miracle of compound interest has created a bounty of a quarter of a million dollars. Again, just under. I don't want to brag.
