Show me the money, Jerry. Show me the money

May 11, 2008

From Wikipedia: “Cameron Crowe suggests reaching out to the people around us is the key to professional as well as personal success. The famous “Show me the money!” scene, featuring Rod Tidwell demanding Jerry scream his “family motto” back to him over the phone, epitomizes the empty values of those around Jerry, yet somewhat paradoxically it is Rod who serves as a role-model for the family values and personal attention that Jerry seeks. Crowe’s point is that the pursuit of financial success need not be incompatible with family values or personal relationships, simply that it should take second place to them.”
