Nile: "So, tell me about something complicated that you all are really happy about that doesn't exist anymore."
Nicky: "Tudor money!"
Andy: "I agree with you, Nicky. Whoever came up with that idea should have been shot."
Nile: "How can money be complicated?"
Nicky: "Because Joe might have been the only one amongst us who understood the different coins."
Nile: "Coins?"
Nicky: "Joe, do you still remember the names of the different coins?"
Joe: "Farthing, half penny, three farthing, penny, half groat, groat, sixpence, shilling, half crown, quarter angel, crown, half angel, angel, half pound, pound, and fine sovereign."
Nicky: "Do you remember the exchange rates?"
Joe: "1 farthing = 1/4 penny, three farthing = 3/4 of a penny, half groat = two pennies, one groat = four pennies."
Nile: "Please stop, or else I think my brain will melt once again as it did with 6th grade algebra."
Joe: "Don't worry, Nile. Your brain hasn't melted because you don't look anything like Booker did when we thought his brain melted back in the '50s, and he is still around."
Booker: "Did he just call me stupid?"
