MARATHON RUNNER IN SEARCH OF A RAIN


    FRANK - You know, Barney, there's a great way to make people happy.
    JACK. - No one has succeeded in doing it so far. But if, by chance, it's something cardinal... If you become famous don't forget about me.
    FRANK- I'm serious. Now, look. Everyone's got to be given what he lacks. Give some luck to a loser. Some money to a poor man. Some reason to a fool. A kind heart to a rich man. Recognition to a clever. And repentance to a criminal.
    JACK. - You're really stuffed with ideas, Frank. But there's a serious flaw in this one. To give everyone what he lacks - there's no intrigue. He who shuffles the cards up there sees it well and that's why the cards will lay on the table in a different way. The loser will get reason. The poor man will get a kind heart. The fool will have luck. The rich man will get recognition. The criminal will get somebody else's millions.
    FRANK - We've forgotten about the clever.
    JACK. - The clever will be left with nothing but repentance.
