(1,306 posts)General context of the dialogue:
Frank: (addressing Gregory) Hey, you know what? Mr Paulson and his friends stoled our money and punched us all in the face. Everybody knows it.
Paulson: (nervous laughter, glares at Barney with clenched rage) Bless his heart! He doesn't really understand what happened. Just ignore him.
Bartiromo: We know, Barney; but can't we just put all that behind us? We shouldn't talk about Mr Paulson like this in front of strangers. You're embarrassing him, sweetie. He's not a bad man; he's successful.
Frank: But they did something wrong and never said they were sorry, never said why they did it, never gave us back our money. I thought stealing and being greedy were bad things?
Gregory: (nervous laughter) Smart boy ! (pats Barney on the head) Mr Paulson and his pals never intended to hurt anybody, Barney. They are just misunderstood. Who wants ice cream ?!
Bartiromo and Paulson: We do!
Frank: (addressing Gregory) And they're still doing it, too.
Gregory, Bartiromo and Paulson: (yuk yuk yuk)
