Messi and the Ferrari

The rich are different…

.

Riki: I hear there are 10 million people in the world with more than a million euros in the bank.

Ferrari 335 Scaglietti … 

the value of 
historical provenance… 

.

Edgardo: But the super rich are different. Like Lionel Messi. He’s rich. He can buy a Ferrari 335 Scaglietti for 32 million euros.

.

Riki: There’s a disjunct here. Messi’s other cars are expensive but mostly between 80 to 150 thousand euros. And road usable. But 32 million euros? For a 1957 model that has no roof and no air conditioner? And one that you cannot drive on the road? Why?

.

Edgardo: Competitive bidding in the auction with rival Ronaldo? His wife’s cousin’s name is Scaglia? Maybe vehicle rarity value? Only four 335s were built. Investment?

.

Riki: At least you can live in an overpriced real estate investment.

Sei No, Ya Hoo, O Le!

Ngo and Yasu watch boys playing in the park...

Ngo: What means this, “Sei No?”

Yasu: It’s like in English, you say, “Ready, Go.” I just wonder why he says “Yahoo” when he lands.

Ngo: It’s an exclamation of fun. Like “Yippee” and “Whoopee.”

Yasu: I like the song. 

Ngo: Footballs. "Olé!"

Football and politics

Gordon and Tony make small talk before the cabinet meeting.

...
Tony: You look a bit wrecked. Up all night?

Gordon: Spurs won! Bit of celebrating.

Tony: I know. Nice penalty straight ahead in the final minute.

Gordon: Best way to do it. Goalies are 25% more likely to dive right or left than stay in the middle.

Tony: Message in that maybe? Put the reshuffle on the top of the agenda and don't hide it in a corner?

Gordon: Let's get this meeting over with. Manchester United are on at 2 o'clock.

You’ve got to be one of the boys. To do a good job from the office you have to get the respect of those on the shop floor. And you can’t fake it. That’s a betrayal and will do you a lot of harm. Tony can relate what happened but Gordon was right inside that goalie's head.
