It is pretty amazing that he could do this shit with a straight face after his "Let's Roll" number; but, as you say, it's all about the bucks.
From Lets Roll:
No one has the answer but one thing is true
You got to turn on evil when it's coming after you
You gotta face it down and when it tries to hide
We gotta go in after it and never be denied

Yep, ol' Neil does chase the buck!
