Does anyone remember Nick Cage in Family Man where the girl in the conv. store doesn't fess up to getting too much change and the angel says "for a lousy nine bucks!"

That is what runs through my mind when I watch otherwise responsible business people scam (not work the angles - that is merely tiresome to watch) airlines, hotels, and rental car companies.

I'd be fascinated to read this dissertation, should anyone transcribe it from Liverpuddlian to English to American. :-)
