0 onetruth Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 the Church of Scientology. I can't help it, the company I work for is owned by Scientologists. But no movie... I keep thinking Wizard of Oz, but he's more of a who, and it doesn't fit with the wording. But they go to ask for things for themselves.

Money, golden ticket?! Rounders? A Candle! HARRY POTTER! THE SORCERER'S STONE?! I give up..... T_T I read you're comments, but I feel like that's too much of a hint. (you'll know what I mean when the answer finally arrives). -maybe that can be enough of a hint for now. Besides, I feel that the riddle can be solved on it's own. Like I said, it's unrelated to movies, there just happens to be a movie named after the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 akaslickster Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 pig/swindle remove d&l was an awesome movie but no, that's not it. I'll post the answer tonight. Don' forget 2 days ago. Now that I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Confidence man? Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? (probably not because those could be "who") Casino? Las Vegas? it's gotta be casino... right? Casino is an excellent answer... hmm. It's not the one I had in mind. I'll give this and Robin Hood honorable mention, but they don't fit as well as the answer. Just plug them in and you can see how they slightly don't fit the words. Great guess though. Edit: Casino may really fit perfectly, I have to think about it, but it's not the answer I'm looking for.

If it helps anyone else, this is the translation I came up with... If you like us, it's because you are greedy Don't bother asking if we will cheat people You know we give and then we take it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I second, Casino was a good one. You should have never said anything about movies - stupid mindset now is to think of movie titles instead of concepts AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 ...ok, on a day that I read Citigroup posts $9 billion in losses (as has all other investment firms), I realize a lot of people have been swindled (unintentionally, however inherently due to overambitious investment strategies by some of these fund managers), and they take money from clients only to give it back...therefore my answer (although I know it can't be right) is Wall Street (great movie, too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice that 'them' and 'they' can be referring to the same group of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 itachi-san Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Loan shark No, but a good guess (similar to Casino) only not as fitting because of the hint I gave about the answer also being the name of a movie Unless Loan Shark is a movie, then my apologies, but still not the answer nonetheless.

Except maybe on the day of his daughter's wedding, but then he just grants wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
