I've always wanted to ride on one, preferably right after hopping off the QE2.

I guess these days I'll have to settle for an Airbus A380 suite and a voyage on the Queen Mary 2. Perhaps when I make my first million. Which will probably be in, oh, 2573, when they'll be starships and I'll have been dead for centuries, but you gotta have a dream!

With your chauffeur waiting to pick you up at your destination and take you to your mansion. Well, one of your chauffeurs and one of your mansions.

I know what you mean about being a millionaire. I think the only way that's going to happen is if I have some money left in a forgotten bank account that compounds interest. Then when I come out of the cryogenic chamber, some evil old lady will trick me out of it all like Fry in Futurama.

Actually, inflation is going to make millionaires of us all!

Pretty much. Now where's my wheelbarrow? I want to take this load of cash to buy a pack of gum.

They have a Concorde at the Intrepid museum in New York. I was really disappointed when I went, we got there too late in the day to see the inside of it.
