And you are allowed to keep those crumbs.
:35:03
And many a man has sold his soul
for those little crumbs.

:35:07
And that's what Daddy does.
:35:09
Daddy passes somebody else's cake around
and picks up all of the crumbs.

:35:14
But you have to imagine a lot of crumbs,
and a great big golden cake...

:35:19
...and a lot of golden crumbs.
:35:22
And imagine Daddy running around
picking up every little golden crumb...

:35:26
...he can grab.
:35:28
And that's what Daddy does.
:35:31
You can call them crumbs if you want to.
:35:34
I'm doing the best I can.
:35:37
Excuse me.
:35:47
In my day, there was some integrity to it.
:35:53
Now it isn't about anything, is it?
Except the money.

:35:58
Well, I don't make the rules, so....
:36:01
All the more reason not to play the game.
:36:06
We're just having a little....
:36:08
It's nothing really.
:36:15
Up to this point in our story,
I was blissfully ignorant.

:36:18
I had no idea of the storm
that was gathering.

:36:21
Never even heard of Sherman McCoy.
:36:23
Hadn't the faintest notion that soon
his name would be inexorably tied to mine.

:36:27
That his fate would be inextricably bound
to my own destiny.

:36:31
I had my own problems...
:36:32
...and I had no idea that Sherman McCoy
was the solution I was looking for.

:36:38
You're bad!
:36:44
Caroline, you look beautiful!
:36:47
-You devil.
-You pig.

:36:48
-Join us for a cocktail.
-No, I'm with someone.

:36:52
And a pretty someone he is.
:36:55
Filippo Chirazzi, the artist.
Peter Fallow, the has-been.

:36:58
Enchanté.
