Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Eddie Morra:
[at a party]
... Well, sure, y-you get a short-term spike, but wouldn't that rapid expansion devalue the stock completely in two years?
Kevin Doyle:
No, 'cause there are safeguards!
Eddie Morra:
Against aggressive overexpansion? There aren't because there are no safeguards in human nature. We're wired to overreach. Look at history, all the countries that have ever ruled the world: Portugal, with this big, massive navy - all they've got now are salt cod and cheap condoms.
[crowd laughs]
Eddie Morra:
And Brits? Now they're just sitting in their dank little island, fussing over their suits. No one's stopping and thinking, 'Hey, we're doing pretty well. We got France, we got Poland, we got a big Swiss bank account... You know what? Let's not invade Russia in the winter. Let's go home, let's pop a beer, and let's live off the interest.'
