Hardest Conversation in the World

"Dad, I have a big favor to ask you. Things are really rough right now. Can I borrow some money?"
“Sure, son. How much do you need?”
“99 billion.”
“WHAT? What do you need 99 billion dollars for?”
“It’s really complicated.”
“This has something to do with those Case and Turner boys, doesn’t it?”
“Dad—“
“I told you not to hang out with them.”
“Look, I don’t need a lecture! I just need 99 billion dollars.”
