## Transcript

Did you guys pick these? Or did you just like do a search for words? A few words, the short one. This is weird. It's trying to trip me up. What is this word? User burn? [ MUSIC ] He that pays all debts, I defy thee. [ INAUDIBLE ] [ UNKNOWN ] dies pays all debts. I defy thee. Mercy upon us! At the comfort is, you shall be called to no more payments. Fear no more tavern bills. What would you have me do? Go to the wars, would you? Where a man may serve seven years for the loss of a leg. And not have money enough in the ends to buy him a wooden one? All that glitters is not gold. Often you have heard that told.

Many a man, his life half sold, but my outside to behold. [ MUSIC ] Money is a good soldier, sir, and will on. Stand not amazed. Here is no remedy. In love the heavens themselves do guide the state. Money buys lands, and wives Slowed by fate. [ MUSIC ] Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Both itself and a friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. [ MUSIC ] How do I pronounce this? Gaoler? G- A- O- L- E- R, how do I pronounce that? Jailer, look to him. Tell not me of mercy. This is the fool that lent out money gratis. Jalen looked to him. [ APPLAUSE ] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ LAUGH ] I'm gonna restart that.

Can we go back to just talking about money, not quoting Shakespeare? [ LAUGH ] [ MUSIC ]
