[Henry is complaing about how hard it is to get a cab in New York]
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
You're just like my wife, mister. You don't understand the economics of the situation.
Henry Tyroon:
Then teach me. I'm interested in the economics of about every situation.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
Well, there are 11,000 cabs in the city - and no new permits for the next twenty-five years. Now suppose you wanna buy a cab and start hackin'... you gotta get a new permit, too. Now the tab on a new permit is eighteen thousand five hundred on the open market.
Henry Tyroon:
And how much did your cab cost, Mister
[looks at driver's ID]
Henry Tyroon:
Feinberg?
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
Thirty-three hundred... new.
Henry Tyroon:
Mm-hmm. Then that makes your investment, uh, with the permit, come to about $22,000.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
Yeah. But don't tell my wife... she'll think I'm rich.
Henry Tyroon:
Mm-hmm. Mr. Feinberg, I'll give you $24,000 for your cab and permit.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
You wanna buy the cab?
Henry Tyroon:
Right. But you come along with it. I'll need your services for a week, maybe two.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
No, look, mister, I can't sell the cab. I need it.
Henry Tyroon:
Well, I figured that. So, when I leave I'll sell it back to you for... $22,000.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
You wanna lose two grand just to keep your feet dry when it starts to rain?
Henry Tyroon:
I don't lose, Mr. Feinberg. See, I borrow the money and then I get a deduction on the loan interest and another on the depreciation and another on the loss when I sell it back to you. And you make a nice profit.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
You win and I win. Uh-uh, there's gotta be a loser somewhere.
Henry Tyroon:
Taxman loses. He usually does on a Henry Tyroon deal.
Feinberg, Taxi Driver:
Mister, you've just got yourself a taxi.
