at the end of every day, i d have another stack, $2,000, $3,000 sitting on my desk. i was probably making $20,000 a week. they didn t have time to use a cash register. they literally had garbage bins where when they would take your money, they would drop it in there. these guys are all taking these bags like santa claus. dollar bills flying around everywhere. they didn t give a [bleep] about that. literally stack of money each. there wasn t a cpa on staff. and of course, derek. he was enjoying those cash plates. that s [bleep] free money, dude. hello? chris. yeah. you know that virgin mobile guy, the billionaire? who s that? he made his own speak faster. he made his own ship to go to the moon. the seats are $200,000 a person.
jacksonville pain showed us chris george was expanding. he didn t want to just be the leader of pain clinics in south florida. he wanted to be the leader of pain clinics in all of florida. a pain clinic down the street just sold five of our patients, so derek s going to handle it now. i m like the [bleep] underboss here. i m the one that gets called when [bleep] needs to get done. american pain is the [bleep] it s [bleep] the biggest, the best. federal investigations are thorough, but they re not quick. we dot our i s and we cross our t s. but you have to balance the amount of time you re spending with the urgency of what s happening in front of you. hello? hey. yeah. you hear about our patients? there was one particular moment, chris is talking to derek nolan about some people who d been in an accident.
