BRYAN DAWE: And now you have announced a trillion bail-out for the banking and financial sector.
JOHN CLARKE: Temporarily.
BRYAN DAWE: You'll be getting it back?
JOHN CLARKE: No, they'll be needing more.
BRYAN DAWE: Well in what sense is it temporary?
JOHN CLARKE: It's temporarily a trillion dollars; we don't know how much it's going to be really. But temporarily it's a trillion that seems to be required.

BRYAN DAWE: What did you actually do?
JOHN CLARKE: We gave out ratings, that's what we did, we are a ratings agency.
BRYAN DAWE: Ratings on securities.
JOHN CLARKE: That's right.
BRYAN DAWE: And who paid you to provide a rating on this security.
JOHN CLARKE: The issuer of the securities.
BRYAN DAWE: And did the issuer of those securities influence the rating that you gave?
JOHN CLARKE: Other than paying us to do it?
BRYAN DAWE: Yep.
JOHN CLARKE: No. What an outrageous suggestion. That would be improper.

LOL, I love those guys. We don't get any of that here, so feel free to post any other good ones you find. (Though, I hate the ASX files; can't control the video playback.)
