As much as I want Simon to win, it does seem that Davis will so implode if he wins that the entire state will set hollywood afloat.

And take so much with them.

36. Tactics. Overcoming others by letting them defeat themselves. Let your enemy expand and be puffed up, and his collapse will be imminent. In martial arts, use the aggressive imbalanced attacks of your enemies against themselves. Let them perish of their own extreme action, self-seeking, etc. Give your opponent room to fail. -- paraphrased from Lao-Tzu

Another variation: Don't interfere with your enemy while he is in the process of defeating himself. -- possibly attributed to Napoleon
