Gentleman Jim Page #2

Well, I don't know about the bank,

but you certainly saved my skin.

How long have you been with

us, Corbett? Three years?

Four, sir.

Well, it's about time we

raised your salary, anyhow.

Starting next week, it'll be $12.50 a week.

- Well, what happened, Jim? Are we fired?

- Fired? I should say not.

He wouldn't accept my

resignation. He tore it up.

- I got a raise.

- A raise?

$2.50 a week.

- Are you kidding?

- Kidding?

Well, what about me? I was there, too.

But you didn't talk up. Always

remember that, Walter, my boy.

That's the guy they pay off

on, the guy who talks up.

Why don't you go in there

and assert yourself? Go on.

Oh, I... I gotta go to lunch.

If you'd like to come over here, Miss Ware...

- Good morning, Miss Ware.

- Good morning.

- How would you like this, large bills?

- No. All in silver, please.

Well, it's gonna make a

pretty big stack of cartwheels.

Do you think you can

carry them all by yourself?

I should have brought a handbag.

Father's in a big poker game

over at the Olympic Club,

and they won't play with

anything else but silver.

- Oh, I see. Did you say the Olympic Club?

- Yes.

Well, it happens to be just my lunchtime.

I'll be very happy to carry

this over for you, if you like.

Oh, I think I could take it if

I had something to carry it in.

But thank you, anyway,

- Mr. Corbett.

- Oh, no trouble at all, Miss Ware.

I'll have my assistant, Mr.

Lowrie, put it in a bag for you.

- You don't mind, do you, Walter?

- No, no.

I'll be just one minute.

- Hello, Miss Ware.

- Hello.

- Gee, it sure is a beautiful day, isn't it?

- Yes, it certainly is.

Yes, it's really beautiful outside.

Thank you, Walter.

You can have those bonds ready

for me to sign when I come back.

And, oh, yes, when Senator Gage gets

here, have him wait for me, will you?

I'll return shortly.

Put it in the barouche there.

You and Buck Ware's

daughter? What's the big...

Pipe down, Pop. This is a break for me.

Thank you, Mr. Corbett.

- This has been very kind of you.

- Think nothing of it, Miss Ware.

The first rule of our bank

is to satisfy the customer.

- You told him where I'm going?

- No, but I will.

- Cabby, the Olympic Club.

- The Olympic Club.

- Dennis, will you take this bag, please?

- Surely.

That's all right, Miss

Ware. I'll carry it in.

No bother at all. It's part of my duty.

Sure, Dennis, but you've got a lot to do.

Suppose you got held up?

Well, frankly, I'm not

quite sure I haven't been.

Oh, will you excuse me while

I take care of the fare?

Say, Pop, lend me $1, will you? I'm broke.

- Oh, sure.

- Thanks.

Keep the change.

Of all the nerve, borrowing money from you.
