If he were poor would you be there … in that car … in that bed? Is there any subtance to him without it? 

It should have been an aphorism if it weren’t. And that is to say that a man knowns when you’re with him for his money. You’re not fooling anyone. And, if he doesn’t care about that, and especially if he knows that you’ve lied egregiously in the past, even though you deny it, then he knows your profession and what he’s purchasing. It will never be anything more than a business deal.
