“Mi sentido del comercio consiste en saber que la satisfacción que me das la pago con la que te doy a ti. No acepto sacrificios y si me pidieras más de lo que significas para mí, me negaría; por ejemplo, si me pidieras que dejara el tren, te abandonaría.

En los negocios no se actúa así, Hank. No lo hagas en tu vida.”
