-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.

-

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.
