Lee hired his friend on the spot and they made a lot of money that year.
- (Lee) I'm really glad you decided to come work for me. I knew that together we could corner the market!
- Me too, man. I felt kind of weird about asking you for a job, but times were so hard, you know?
- I'm happy you did. With my connections and your chemistry skills, we took the product to a whole new level!
- I am very happy it worked out so well? We never had product as good as this.
- And the money, I didn't even know they printed this much money!
- And this is just from our first year! Imagine the truck loads of cash we'll be swimming in once we get this out globally!
