The glorified Bobby "Axe" Axelrod has become the favorite hedge-fund billionaire played by Damian Lewis in Showtime's most popular Billions series. In an upcoming episode of this series, Bobby makes a speech at the lofty boarding school of his son, which he was not invited to do, but just like everything else, Axe forces his way in!
Just like the entirety of the Billions series, the speech itself holds great influence from Bill Murrey's speech in Wes Anderson's Rushmore. The huge difference though is that Axe talks about glorifying the rich kids while Murray's Herman Blume speech says "take aim on the rich kids."
According to Axe, wealthy people are rich because they worked hard to outsmart others saying "Nature didn't select me... I selected myself" and the kids go wild!
The characters in Billions
Axe's sworn enemy Chuck Rhodes played by Paul Giamatti, along with everyone surrounding them all makes out that showmanship is very critical to winning. Their perspective believes that the world has to accept their show of strength for them to keep their power.

Axe wants to plant his flag into the next big market and this time, that market just so happens to be pharmaceutical ayahuasca, this came from a realization with his right-hand man Wags played by David Costabile.
The epiphany gives Axe a vision to see everything from a certain vantage point from the good all the way to the ugly. Axe believes that pharmaceutical psychedelics could be the next big thing.
Even Chuck Rhodes tries to redeem his glory from a previously ruined career to the newly installed New York Attorney General. Wendy Rhodes played by Maggie Stiff is also back at Axe Capital being an essential performance coach to the whole team.
