here's how to get money:
1. tell a kid that if you plant money, it will grow into a money tree.
2. watch the kid plant the money, then go dig it up at night.
3. tell the kid that worms decomposted the money, and maybe nest time it'll work if he plants even more money.
kids are rubes!

another way to get money is to buy a bunch of pencils and sell them to local kids for a dollar more than you bought them. it's better if you draw smurfs on the pencils first. kids like smurfs.

i told a kid that once. the kid didn't have any money so i lent him 20 bucks.

Coppola's The Conversation is essentially a remake of Antonioni's Blow Up. Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is almost a remake of Godard's Breathless. Of course, Herzog's Nosferatu is a very conscious remake of the 1922 Murnau film.
