S: For each thousand you invest, I will pay you with two hundred of enamelware a month. To begin in July and to continue for one year. After which time we're even. That's it. It's very simple.
J: Not good enough.
S: It's not good enough? Look where you're living. Look where you've been put. "Not good enough." A couple of months ago you'd be right, not anymore.
J: Money's still money.
S: No, it is not. That's why we're here. Trade goods, that's the only currency that'd be worth anything in the ghetto¹. Things have changed, my friend. Did I cal this meeting? You told Mr.Stern² you wanted to speak to me. I'm here. I've made you a fair offer.
J: Fair would be a percentage in the company.
S: (Laughing) Forget the whole thing. Get out.
J: How do we know that you will do what you say?
S: Because I said I would. You want a contract? To be upheld³ by what court? I said what I'll do. That's our contract.
