ENDGAME SPOILER, but also legitimate question for someone who has seen it.?
I mean this doesnt really give much away, so it isnt a spoiler really.
Tony says he learned from his father that no amount of money could ever buy a second of time. The response he received was, "He sounds like a smart man." But what does this mean? It essentially means that time is invaluable, but the way this was said, the movie made it seem like this was supposed to be more significant than I took it to be, so can someone explain how this applies to Tony and what exactly it means?

well, considering that it was all of Tony's Money and Genius and that built the time machine, that he was indeed using to talk to his dead father..........apparently money CAN buy time.....and build time machines with it !
So technically speaking, he was actually kinda wrong about that........which made the comment kinda stupid. ---since there he was............in fact, buying more time.
But I get the overall sentiment, that money can't buy more time with loved ones..........
and again, theorhetically speaking.....that message comes back to have more meaning at the end, when Tony dies, and all his money can't buy him one more minute with Pepper or his kid........because he's dying.
So kind of a paradox........because Money did get him some time with his dad.....but didn't save or help him in the end.

Considering Tony was speaking to his future father, I believe he was paying his father the highest compliment he could.
