- Bank Teller: Can I help you?
- Michael Fox: [indicating bag] Yeah, I'd like to exchange this for cash?
- Bank Teller: [feeling bag] These aren't rolled. We only accept *rolled* coins.
- Michael Fox: I thought you had a machine to do that.
- Bank Teller: I'm sorry, we don't provide that service to our customers. You have to roll them yourself.
- Michael Fox: Okay, can I have some rolls?
- Bank Teller: You can pick those up at the Statements desk.
- Michael Fox: Where's that?
- [She points over to the longest line]
- Michael Fox: Hmm, could I get just - uh, could I just get some from you? I've already been waiting 25 minutes in line.
- Bank Teller: I'm sorry, sir. I don't work in the Statements department.
- Julie Collins: I thought you said you knew how to fly.
- Michael Fox: I *do* know how to fly!
- [pause]
- Michael Fox: It's just landing I've never done before.
- Julie Collins: Oh, Jesus.
- Michael Fox: Okay, this seems pretty strange, but first one guy walks into this closet, then the *other* guy walks in, they close the door, and nobody comes out. Sounds pretty kinky if you ask me.
- Federal Reserve Executive: London, West Germany, France, all the European markets. Somehow the Saudis were also convinced...
- Paul Minsky: Saudi markets?
- Federal Reserve Executive: Don't ask me how. It's beginning a snowball effect across the country. We've got a liquidity crisis you wouldn't believe! Chase Manhattan's prime lending rate is already at 20%!
- Paul Minsky: *Twenty* percent? It was 15 a half-hour ago!
- Federal Reserve Assistant: Janet, I gotta have your authorization right here.
- Federal Reserve Executive: What am I signing here?
- Federal Reserve Assistant: I don't know.
- Paul Minsky: So what does the cash reserve situation look like?
- Federal Reserve Executive: We store approximately $500 billion in emergency cash. And that was gone in the first hour.
- Paul Minsky: I can't believe this!
- Federal Reserve Executive: This screen over here gives us the current picture... of the Reserve's deposits. We're 950 billion dollars short right now.
- Paul Minsky: [indicating pink line over red zone] So what does this line represent?
- Federal Reserve Executive: One *trillion* dollar deficit. Give me a graphic expansion on that please, Ed. That level has been determined as *rock bottom*. Go under this line, and this glorious country we call America will be completely bankrupt.
