[edit] Trivia
- The line '"I love the smell of commerce in the morning!" is a reference to the line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." from the movie Apocalypse Now, and is also a direct quote from the movie "Mallrats"
- The line "The same principles apply to both trade and combat!" could be a reference to the practice of many modern businesses applying the principles of Sun Tzu in his book The Art of War.
