I'm gonna fly down in my plane.

I got some property to check out.

- Why don't you and Priscilla come along?

- You have a plane?

Just a little twin engine Piper.

- Well. I'm sure we'd love to but...

- Look. If money's a problem...

- No. It's not really the money...

- Well. Good. Then we'll have fun.

- It's jus... Uh. Do you think we ought to...

- Now watch this.

Eddy. Careful!

Eddy!

Well. Let's say 5.000.

With 5.000. I'd put one in the bank.

one in bonds and play the stock market

with the rest.

The stock market?

- Yeah.

- Yeah. Okay.

How come you never pursued

a singing career?

There's a lot worse voices out there.

I guess Eddy got

all the self-confidence.

Maybe I could help you. That way

I'd get to play some blues. And. Uh...

You know. You...

I would take this wall out.

You know. Take it out. Make this

whole area screened in.

It would open it up a lot and then put

like blue shutters on it or something...

to give it a bit of life.

you know?

It could use it.

- What?

- Nothing. Go ahead.

- I'm being my usual self. Right?

- No. I like it.

I'm gonna take over.

Oh. Never mind.

Come on.

I'm surprised Priscilla hasn't tried

to sell off some of her investments.

She was up to 15.000

last time I went over it.

Fifteen from five?

She has a good head on her shoulders.

What can I tell you?

Squeeze when you come up.

That five was a gift left by an uncle to go

towards a sailboat. Can't touch that.

How much do you owe?

It's not that much. Eddy.

Let's not talk about it.

No. Richard. I'm serious. Maybe

I can be of some help here.

You can't. Believe me.

Is there anything we can't

talk about? Now. Come on.

- You really wanna know?

- Yes.

Current debts. Credit cards.

bank loans. About 25.000.

Is that all? I can get

you that in an afternoon.

How?

Leave it to me. Bubbi.

Three to six weeks. Okay?

- What-What kind of interest

are we talking about?

- No kind of interest.

I don't loan money

to my friends. It's a gift.

Our greatest glory. Dicky boy. Is not in

never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Oh! Do you see? Now you left yourself

open for that one. You deserved it.

Now. Come on. Come on. That's it.

Come on. That's right. Come on.

Come on. That's it. That's it.

That's it. Hit mine. That's it. Come on.

Come on. Keep it in. Keep it in.

All right. Now. Keep it...

Oh. My God!

- Oh. My God. Eddy.

- Call an ambulance.

- Oh. Richard.

- Thank you. Dr Pettering.

- Talk to you tomorrow.

- You know how to reach us.

- Call if you need anything.

I will. Thanks a lot.

Take care.

- Oh. My God.

- Poor guy. I feel terrible.

He didn't look as bad as I thought.

You know. But he...

Didn't he say he was coming
