This is a brilliant scene from the HBO TV series: "Hung." For those that don't know, it's about Ray Drecker, a Detroit baseball coach that is downsized, loses his wife and kids in a divorce, loses his house in a fire that is uninsured, and resorts to becoming an amateur gigolo when he finds he has no skills besides being well-endowed.
Ray's pimp is the aspiring poet, Tanya Skagle, played by Jane Adams, who is an amazing actress. The two met again at a get-rich seminar, where she decided to make "lyrical bread" and he got the epiphany to start banking on the only gift he has. Tanya was tired of being shit on so she wanted to profit from an illegal venture as well. Thus, "Happiness Consultants" came into being.
Scene transcript:
"Yeah, so? I'm not a good person. Because you know what happens to good people? They get shit on [...] Good people get ignored and stepped on. Good people get fucked, Ray! So just this once I'm doing the fucking! What's so great about being a good person?!"
