"Do everyone a favor and stop whining about how much money you missed out on in Chinatown? It sounds pathetic. Take the loss and move on like a goddamn man does. You missed, plain and simple. Enough already."
"It was a boat pile of money uncle Jack," he interrupts.
"Yeah, I know, you told me already. Guess what? None of it came your way so live with it and move," I interrupt.
"Motherfucker," with pent up anger, "I'm not looking for pity from anyone. It's just people are starting to fully fathom how much money it was. It was in my grasp and I let it slip away. It will haunt me until the end of my days."
"Give me a break genius, I agree with Fred. If you want to get rich figure out a cure for corona virus. It's too late for you with all those restaurants in Chinatown. You failed on that endeavor!"
He's right, it was a fail. It was the fail of a lifetime.
"All those fucking restaurants you dumb fucker. Your pea brain is too narrow to process it. Let's just put it this way Einstein. It is more money than you and I would have ever seen in multiple lifetimes."
"Woe is me, woe is me, woe is me," his sarcasm evident, "Find a cure for corona virus like Fred suggested. You will make millions upon millions doing that. Lots more than those restaurants in Chinatown would have made."
"Fuck off asshole," I scream into the phone.
"Get a life genius," he replies.
"Fuck off asshole," louder than before.
"Listen genius," his sarcasm thickening to the point of me reaching through the phone and choking him, "You missed! Let me say it again for you. You missed! Please, for the love of everything holy. Move on!"
"Whatever uncle Jack,' with sarcasm of my own, "Just remember this Einstein. If you ever find me face down in a pile of my own filth, rest assured the last thing going through my head would have been, 'all that fucking money I missed out on in Chinatown."
"Get a life!"
"I'm serious uncle Jack. All that fucking money in Chinatown was there for the taking and I missed."
He yells 'get a life' one more time then hangs the phone up without saying goodbye.
