Everybody has a Price?

(4)

But we did have a small discussion concerning 'human buyability,' which is the eternal question of, 'how much:' How much do you cost? What will it take to buy you? What is your price?

The discussion was quite brief, but I managed to get in the concept that the older you get, the higher your price. The idea was that the closer you get to your eventual death the less you value money. 'You can't take it with you.'

Everybody has a price: psychologists, psychiatrists, cops, doctors, neighbors... everybody has a price. If you have enough money you can buy anybody.

Except me. I don't have a price. You can't buy me. Kootch didn't dispute my claim.
