JULIAN INTRO VO Let me tell you something, friend. A peculiar thing happens to a man when he achieves greatness in his career, when he stops envying the world, and it starts envying him instead. With every new Cadillac he buys, in each First Class seat he rides on his way from nowhere to somewhere, he leaves behind some of the youthful ambition that got him there. Ounce by ounce, he pours it out, until the only thing left in his glass is fear -- a paranoid survey of all the ways he could lose everything he's got. It is a tragic change, that dripping away of youth, but an important one. Because, pally, he's right to fear the fall... It happened to me. Hell, it happened to all of my friends at the same time. What came next, whether I'd leave my glass empty or fill it back up with that old ambition, well, that's the thing we're here to talk about, isn’t it?
