Emily: Yes, we've been close for a long time.

 Bill:A bit of an odd bird, that one. I wouldn't guess he had any real friends atall, much less one as lovely as you.

 Emily:Nolan knows when people look at him, they see dollar signs, So he's built up afew defense mechanisms. It's hard to know who to trust when it comes to money.

 Bill: Couldn't agree more. So who do youtrust?

 Emily:With my money? Myself since 2008. I've been sitting in cash and short-termbonds wondering when that second shoe's gonna drop.

 Bill: My fund actually made money in 2008.

 Emily: Really? Well, what do you have, acrystal ball?

 Bill:And a magic hat. Bit of free advice? The other shoe's not gonna drop anytimesoon. You should consider getting back into the market.

 Emily: Never said I wasn't considering.

 Bill:Well, then you and I have a lot to discuss. Call my office. We'll set a lunchwhen you're ready. Loser pays.

 Emily: Always.
