"Do you know what this money means to me? Do you know what his money can do for us?"

"…Just tell me where you want to go to school and you’ll go. Just tell me, what it is you want to be – and you’ll beit….Whatever you want to be – Yessir! You just name it, son and I hand you the world!"

"The future, Mama. Hanging over there at the edge of my days. Just waiting for me – a big, looming blank space – full of nothing. Just waiting for me. But it don’t have to be."
