On the one side, there's Ugel's addiction to gambling. On the other is his job -- one that doesn't require a great brain and intricate math, but rather the ability to be convincing.

When will it be that the quality of work we do on earth is not needed to be questioned at all? Only when there is no money on earth any more and hence we no more need corrupting our actions in order to earn it more and more and more...
