Mark: But that's GOOD, Dad! Don't you see? It means you still have a capacity to grow, to change... you're going to be a far better person for having faced up to those mistakes! Slackmeyer: Yeah... yeah, I suppose you're right... but do you realize I could have bought Xerox at 8 1/4?!! Mark: No... no, I didn't know that.
