‘My heart’s for my family, Joe. My brains and my balls are for business. And this is business. You got me?”
That line is from Cinderella Man, arguably the best boxing movie of the last 20 years. The context would take too long to explain, but suffice it to say this remark is supposed to establish its speaker — a tough-as-nails boxing promoter — as a heartless SOB. And while the character is in fact a heartless SOB, I always liked the line, because it sums up vast swathes of my political metaphysics (if you don’t think “political metaphysics” is a thing, my short reply is “Shut up”).
