    A reader tweets a reference to Pretty Woman:

    [Fumbling with his tie, Edward (Richard Gere) tells Vivian (Julia Roberts) about his business.]
    Vivian: You don't actually have a billion dollars, huh?
    Edward: No. I get some of it from banks, investors… it's not an easy thing to do.
    Vivian: And you don't make anything…
    Edward: No.
    Vivian: … and you don't build anything.
    Edward: No.
    Vivian: So whadda ya do with the companies once you buy 'em?
    Edward: I sell them.
    [Viv reaches for his tie.]
    Vivian: Here, let me do that. You sell them.
    Edward: Well, I… don't sell the whole company, I break it up into pieces, and then I sell that off, it's worth more than the whole.
    Vivian: So, it's sort of like, um… stealing cars and selling 'em for parts, right?
    Edward: [sighs exasperatedly] Yeah, sort of. But legal.
