3. Don't forget the other part of Harry's little equation

One of those dots stops moving, yes, but don't forget the money to be had from the crooked dealings that stopped the dot. Never forget the money to be made. Lots and lots of it.

For those unfamiliar with this brillian movie, Harry Lime is working in the black market in post-war Vienna. He's hustling medical supplies and making a fortune. Some of the medicine is bad, and people are dying. Strangely enough, to Harry's way of thinking, some of the survivors of those killed by the poison he's hawking are a tad bit upset with him.
