[watching house expectantly]

Survival of the fittest, Theodore, survival of the fittest.

Theodore

The fittest for what?—for making money! the only kind of fitness encouraged to survive, to reproduce its species.

John

If the ability to make money is not the test of fitness, what is?

Theodore

Then you are more fit than a hundred Hamiltons, are you? And Rex? How fit is he? Rex never made a cent in his life.
