- I assure you it's safe besides.

I can't call a family and tell
them their house has been sold,

if you don't make you a deposit
tomorrow might be too late

well all right then.

I'd rather have had
a long-term mortgage.

but my age I guess

call those people.

matter of the usual two days paperwork thank you

-i'm in trouble. -what do you mean?

creighton's gone bankrupt.

well you still have other customers
losing one couldn't hurt much.

you don't get the picture. you
don't get the photo at all.

-thanks charlie.
- you want a menu? -what's a rush?

you see creighton owes me money that I have to give
to the mill because they won't carry me anymore.

now there isn't any more creighton
so i'm left holding a bag. let's go.

you mean you have to pay the mill
whether creighton pays you or not?

of course I got to pay the mill
they sold me to lumber didn't they.

and if I don't send them any money they won't send me
any more lumber and i'll just be out of business so.

-do you have the money?
-no I don't have. the money I don't have a dime.

-you could get a mortgage on the lumber yard.
- yeah I could get a mortgage in a,

lumber yacht if I owned the lumber yacht but I don't
own the lumbee yard I just leased the property.

-what's this? I didn't order this.
-you want me to take it back? -humorous very humorous.

-

-comic.
-how much do you owe the mill.

-plenty.
-well certainly they'll take something on account.

yeah, eight grand the eight
grand and creighton owes me.

-how could you have?
-oh please give me that how could you have I did,

-

you want to laugh? I just get a big order from a guy who's
gonna pay me right away, and everything gets cleared up.

-

only I can't do it because I can't get the lumber
from the mill cause I haven't got the eight grand.

-

-you can't get the money anywhere?
- oh not a cent.

you see the bank won't give me any money because
they say I haven't got any assets for security, yeah.

-let's see, charlie.
-yeah -how's the menu? will you for crying online give us a menu.

I recommend the beef stroganoff.

perhaps you'd like to
try the uh chop suey.

-pot roast?
-an omelette.

how about you Harry?

-give me that uh beef junk you know with those noodles.
-stroganoff?

-coffee clear milk.
- yeah.

what about asking the people
you know they seem to like you.

don't kid yourself they like me because
I never put the bite on them well you,

never saw anything free so fast like an
old pal when you put the bite on them.

i'd have to go out of business and
start all over again and something else.

is it really that bad that you'd
have to go out of business?

what are you talking about i'd
have to go out of business?

I am out of business. don't you
understand? I am in the lumber business,

lumber and I can't get any more
lumber so, how much better can it get?

suppose the bank did give you the money,
how long would it take you to pay it back?

48 hours.

could you really get the money
from the customers so quickly?

don't they have to receive the lumber and then
go through some sort of billing department?

oh they know me over there
you see they like me a lot.

I mean I i've set up a lot of
good business deals for them.

All I have to do is just walk
in there with a big hello.

And they make the
check right out for me.

-Are you sure?
-What do you mean am I sure?

That's the way they are with me

And you could get your money in 48 hours
there'd be no chance that you couldn't.

That's right.

And it would keep your
business going. Wouldn't it?

Yeah. What are you asking all these
questions for, what do you got on your mind?

I could get the money for you Harry if you're
sure you could get it back in 48 hours.

That's eight thousand dollars, honey.
Ehere could you get eight thousand dollars?

I ,uh, we, we own our own home my
grandfather built it.

The bank would give
me a mortgage on it.

Eithout you brother
knowing?

we talked about mortgaging
last summer we were going to,

get a summer cabin at the shore
but the bank knows about it.

and you're sure you could get
the money back in 48 hours

It would help your
business. Wouldn't it Harry?

Yeah but, look kid, your brother
doesn't like me I mean,

supposing he found out couldn't
he louse the whole thing up.

He'll be away for two days.

-How soon could you get it?
-Tomorrow about 11 o'clock.

-All right?
-That's great kid. Just great.

You're sure you can get it
back in 48 hours, aren't you?

I'll give you my word.

Mr fescue gave us his down payment on the randall
place yesterday it was nine thousand dollars.

-Oh, it's fine Helen.
-It was late.

I think I ought to go down
to the bank with it mr Ivers.

Yeah, you go ahead oh did you call the
people to tell them we'd sold their place.

Yes they're going to bring
the deed down this afternoon.

Fine. It's been a pretty
thin month all in all.

Morning, Ben.

Oh, yeah this morning helen.
-Oh just fine mr parker.

Have you and mr ivers got a corner
on a real estate market yet?

Not yet.

HI helen, how's everything?

I'm just fine george.

You're lucky to be out on a day like this I sure
hate being cooped up when the fish are biting.

-

I want a cashier's
check for this.

-Would you want a payable to?
-Make it out to Harry Wade.

What's your brother
say about this money?

He doesn't know about it it'll be all right
as long as I get the money back in two days.

Don't worry, I got
something else working.

I'm going over to hillside tonight I got to see a
guy over there that I helped get a city franchise.

You're sure i'll get the money
back, aren't you?

When you quit worrying I can go a couple of ways
I can even give the guy a piece of the business.

Would you do that?

You want to get
married, don't you?

Harry, you know I do.

Sometimes I wonder. But look you got
to get it through your head that,

I can't do nothing along that line until
this thing is straightened out huh.

Hey, you sure you
didn't steal that money?

-Will I see you tonight?
-I don't know maybe.

You mean he popped the question?

Yes. Harry and I are
getting married.

When did all this happen?

Today right now he's seeing about
a business deal so we can go ahead,

been begging to buy into the business.

-Well I sure had him pegged all wrong.
-Yes you did.

-Congratulations.

and alice set yours first.

The guy down there at the mill the guy
that always gave me the money, you know?

-What mortgage?

Hello john. Uh, she uh, she just took out a
little mortgage on this house to help me out,

a little bit she didn't want
you to know get this straight.

He can't get any mortgage without my
signature. Did you give him money?

-Yes. -How much? -Eight
thousand dollars.

-Where'd you get it?
-I borrowed it from mr iver's account.

-You stole it?
-Now wait a minute what kind of talk is that?

-You put her up to this.
-You take it easy.

Now i'm in no mood
for that kind of talk.

You're in no mood? what more do you think? We're
give your shirt on will you you'll get your money.

-When?
-Soon. Honey don't say nothing to your boss about this.

Relax, will you.

So you fell for
his con game.

Anyone could see a mile off
what he is anyone but you.

I gave him the money
because i wanted to.

This country is full of unmarried
women your age who fall for guys like,

-him because they think they can buy a husband.
-I don't want to talk to you.

You don't want to talk to me who do you want to talk
to about the eight thousand dollars you stole mr Ivers.

But why don't you do something instead of
just yelling why aren't you prosecuting.

I can't prosecute you stole
the money. You think I want,

that in the papers when i'm
just about to get married.

-I'm sorry John.
-What good is being sorry.

You're always sorry this isn't the
first time you wouldn't listen,

to me when you were going with
george maxwell or with that doctor.

At least they didn't put you up to
stealing eight thousand dollars.

How am I going to
explain this to Alice?

Helen...

Oh, well Harry.

Hello I was wondering maybe we should have
dinner tonight you know down at Charlie's.

-No, Harry I don't think so.
-Hey, don't do that.

Come on now honey.

There's no reason the
ball cut it out here.

What's this?

Harry...

You did get the money.

-I told you I get it, didn't I?
-But how�

A couple of guys i know use a build as supply set
up as a front they wanted to make a fast killing.

So i told him I could get him ten thousand
dollars worth of lumber for eight.

When do you have to
deliver the lumber?

-I told him tomorrow.
-But if you give me the money.

So watch so they don't get it I can
only stall them a couple of days.

-Are you sure�
-Would I kid you?

Look these guys would be surprised
if they get paid on time.

Harry I don't
know what to say.

All right don't
start thanking me.

Will I will I see you tonight?

I don't know maybe.

Staying home again tonight.

Yes.

Why don't you uh change your mind
come to the movies with alice and me.

No thanks.

Gee, I hate to see you
