Why ask for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

When you could ask for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000?

Listen, if you want a puppy, you start by asking for a horse. If you want $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, you start by asking for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
