George Roundy : Let's face it, I fucked 'em all. I mean, that's what I do. That's why I went to beauty school. I mean, they're always there and I-I just can't I-I, you know, I - I don't know what I'm apologizing for. So, sometimes I fuck 'em. I go into that shop and they're so great lookin', you know, and I - I doing their hair and they feel great and they smell great. Or, I could be out on the street, you know, and I could just stop at a stoplight or go into an elevator or - I - it's a beautiful girl - I - I don't know - I mean, that's it! It makes my day. I mean, it makes me feel like I'm gonna live forever.

George Roundy : I don't know where a financial statement is. I got the heads. All right? The heads, the customers. They come to me. I'm the one they want. If I open a shop, they're gonna leave and they're gonna come to me. You'd be surprised. I got a lot of heads.
