would save me paying your speeding fines.
Stanley, you've got to stop driving like a
lunatic or I'll let them take you to jail.
You wouldn't let them do that to me,
would you, Uncle William?
I don't want people tagging along
everywhere I go.
I have half a mind not to give you
something I've got in my pocket.
- Which pocket?
- Here, stop it, stop it.
Keep your hands out of my pockets.
Get out, I say. Ha-ha-ha.
Oh, Uncle William, don't be mean to me.
I can't wait.
Well, there.
It's a good deal more than you deserve.
Uncle, you darling. Father, look.
Isn't he marvelous?
- That's very generous of you, William.
- Thank you, too, Aunt Charlotte.
It's wonderful, darling.
Father's giving Stanley some of Grandma's
furniture to start housekeeping.
How about a kiss for your old uncle,
huh?
You're not gonna turn your cheek, are you?
Not after that check.
This on top of everything else,
Uncle William, you're so good to me.
- I reckon it won't be lasting you long.
- There's plenty more where that came from.
What? You minx.
You hear that? You'd better keep
a close hand on your pocketbook.
What'll you have to drink?
- Whiskey and water.
- Remember what the doctor said.
- The devil with that fussbudget.
Nobody's gonna tell me what I can do
and what I can't.
That's the spirit, Uncle William.
I suppose you've heard what I'm doing
with that white elephant...
...that used to belong to your family
up on Waverly Street.
I have a row of taxpayers in mind.
And maybe some apartments up above.
It was a good building in its day, I
reckon, but these are no times for sentiment.
You can't waste good land
with deadwood.
A thing is profitable or it isn't.
And if it isn't, it's through. Finished.
That's the way I look at things.
That's how I got where I am.
- Peter.
- Hello.
Why didn't you come in?
How's Lavinia?
- I, uh, thought you were upstairs.
We're all having a drink to Stanley.
Please come in, Peter.
She isn't the only one. Not by a jugful.
Why, Uncle William.
Why, Peter, how nice.
Hello, Aunt Charlotte. Mr. Fitzroy.
Ha. Uncle William.
Drink, Peter?
- Uh, straight whiskey.
that you're doing good at the hospital.
He says you're clever with the knife.
- Not any more than some of the others.
- He is, Uncle. He's just modest.
If you stick to business, there's no reason
why you shouldn't take Buchanan's place.
He's pretty old. I'm not sure
he's as good as everyone thinks.
By the way, where's Craig, Stanley?
Craig? Oh, he's at a meeting of something
or other. He's coming by for me later.
Probably one of those civil-liberty
affairs. Civil liberty. Ha.
