Michael Cristofer: Phillip Price
Quotes
-
Phillip Price : If I resign, then any scrap of confidence the public is already clinging onto will be destroyed, and we all know a con doesn't work without the confidence. If this was the best idea you could come up with for a win, I shouldn't be the one resigning. I have to head back to New York. Let me know when you've locked up the votes,
[to the guy next to him]
Phillip Price : and wipe your goddamn mouth.

Phillip Price : In the fallout of the Great Depression, FTR closed all the banks for a bank holiday and then he reopened them in stages when they were reported to being sound. Later, historians discovered what we in this room now know; that those reports, they are mostly lies. Nevertheless, it worked, it worked because the public believed the government had everything under control. You see? That is the business model for this great nation of ours. Every business day when our market bells ring, we con people to believing in something: The American Dream, family values... ; could be freedom fries for all I care. It doesn't matter! As long as the con works and people buy, sell whatever it is that we want them to.
