NARRATOR (voice-over): Why did Michael Moore do nothing? When his movie was attacked, why did Michael Moore just sit there? Sure, he'd already fought his attackers -- Michael Moore gives as good as he gets. But now he just sat there eating a Whopper? Why? Is it possible Michael Moore knew the attacks brought people out to the theaters? Is it possible he knew that anything that was good for his film was also good for his . . . wallet?

NARRATOR (voice-over): Michael Moore was thinking: It's all about money. Saudi oil. Iraqi oil. Afghan pipeline. Book and film royalties. It's all the same. It's all about money. You got it or you don't. And dude, I'm rolling in it!
