Quotes

Luke Weil: "Did you ever have an encounter that rubs you the wrong way? When someone really pisses you off. And I'm up at boarding school. And this kid's from like some shit town in Connecticut, you know, I don't know. I can just say, fuck you, I'm from New York. I can buy your family, piss off. And this is petty, and this is weak, and this is very underhanded, but it's so easy, you know."

Jamie Johnson:"[My father] always told me from a very early age, don't talk about money, deny being wealthy if people ask you. He was seriously against [me making this film] and really discouraged me from doing it. It actually encouraged me and I thought this film needs to be made."
