A scene from Barbarian 2022
Jeff

The income we have for the year is what we're gonna have at the year's end. No new money coming in.

AJ

I think that's pretty safe to say.

Jeff

What do you anticipate your legal expenses to be?

AJ

So, I talked it over with my lawyer, and we're looking at two separate cases here. There's the defense against the charge, which is 100% not true, by the way. So, there's that, and then there's the countersuit for defamation, which I'm 100% gonna win. I'm gonna ruin this ****in' bitch.

Jeff

How much?

AJ

They said it's probably gonna be, like, around 70,000 in each.

Jeff

So, 140,000.

AJ

What does that do to me?

Jeff

Well, with your current rate of spending, that's gonna put you at zero in... Three months.

AJ

Oh, **** me. [laughs] Oh, my God.

Jeff

You've got some small income from your Michigan properties... But it's your mortgage here that's killing you.

AJ

Are you saying I have to sell my house?

Jeff

I'm saying you're gonna have to make some tough choices.

AJ

I could sell the Michigan properties. Some of those make money, right?

Jeff

Yeah, but some don't. You could sell those. Buy yourself some time. But no more than a couple of months. Those aren't exactly hot properties.

AJ

I can't ****in' believe this. This is nuts.

Jeff

Listen, AJ, I gotta tell ya.

AJ

What?

Jeff

At the end of this week, I'm gonna give you your files back.

AJ

Cool. What's that mean?

Jeff

I'm going to suggest that you find alternate wealth management.

AJ
[chuckling]

Oh, my God. You're dropping me too?
