Quotes 

• Brian Cruver : [Narrating the epilogue]  Others at Enron responded more... openly to the call for disclosure. Dream became reality when Playboy presented "The Women of Enron," and then, Playgirl responded with "The Men of Enron." Bickers? Well, he left Wall Street and found something a little more...

  [Pictures are shown of Bickers as a blackjack dealer in Las Vegas] 

  Brian Cruver : secure. Duffy returned his family to San Francisco. Liz found another marketing job.

  [Pictures of Liz having her Enron "E" tattoo removed from her breast] 

  Brian Cruver : And she managed to put the E behind her. Anne-Marie's expecting to start college full-time.

  [Pictures of Anne-Marie working as a waitress] 

  Brian Cruver : . In a year or two. Out of all of our team, McLainey lost the most, but we have no doubt he will land on his feet. Even Lazarri survived. Sort of.

  Lazarri : [Cuts to Lazarri at his new job]  But, you know what? I know I'm gonna love it here at WorldCom!

• Brian Cruver : Not only am I drowning in debt and all of my savings are gone, all six credit cards are maxed out, and the only thing I have to show for it is a hole in my resume and stockholders that don't amount to a roll of toilet paper, single ply.

  Duffy : Oh, that's nothing. I gave up a great job in San Francisco, I move my family half-way across the country, I just closed on this hugely expensive house, and we all hate Houston!

  Liz Perry : I got you both beat. Yeah, my savings are gone and, yeah, I've got the expensive new house and car, both of which I'm going to lose, because my husband is still out of work after I made him leave his high-paying job in Seattle, but that's not the worst of it.

  [She pulls down the top of her blouse, exposing the Enron "E" tattooed on her breast. Both Brian and Duffy give laughs of disbelief] 

  Duffy : You win.

• Courtney : What's the matter with you?

  Brian Cruver : What? Courtney, it's not my fault if your brother doesn't know what a virtual asset is.

  Courtney : Maybe, but it *is* your fault that you're turning into a work-obsessed, money-obsessed, self-obsessed virtual ASS!

• Brian Cruver : Why are you acting like this, huh? Is it because I'm trying to give you a nice wedding?

  Courtney : Correction: You're trying to give your Enron bosses a nice wedding. I'm just along for the ride.

• Brian Cruver : And as I left Enron for the last time, I recalled the words of Abraham Lincoln. "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
