Jake Gittes: How much you worth?
Noah Cross: I have no idea. How much do you want?
Jake Gittes: I just want to know. What you're worth over 10 million?
Noah Cross: Oh my, yes.
Jake Gitte: Well, why are you doing it how much better can you eat? What can you buy that
you can't already afford?
Noah Cross: The future Mr Gittes! The future!

They want the future. They're buying the future. Your future. Our future. They want their kids to rule over your kids like monarchs. They don't want their wealth taxed. They don't want their power regulated. They want to lord over us so that they can do whatever they want to us.
