Jim Williams: Well, that's a very genteel way of asking if I come from old money. John Kelso: Do you? Jim Williams: No. I was born in Gordon, Georgia, a little town outside of Macon. My father was a barber, sometimes house builder. My mother was a secretary. What money I have is about eleven years old.

So tell me. Has your family always collected? That's a very genteel way of asking if I come from old money. - Do you? - No. I was born in Gordon, Georgia, a little town outside of Macon. My father was a barber, sometime house builder. My mother was a secretary. What money I have is about 11 years old. So, yes, I am... ... nouveau riche. But then it's the riche that counts. There's only 2 things that interest me... ...work... ...and those trappings of aristocracy that I find worthwhile. The very things they're forced to sell when the money runs out. And it always runs out. And then all they're left with... ...is their lovely manners. Fuck you, goddamn bitch! Wouldn't even let me in the house. Had to come in the servants' entrance. Excuse me for a minute?
