Well, what do you know?

Come right in, Miss Pinky.

I'm mighty glad to see you.

Mighty glad. Yes.

- I've come to get the money my

grandmother gave you to send me.

- Oh, the money! Come on in.

I've been tryin' to get over

to see your granny, but

every time I start over there...

something happens to stop me.

Yes, sir.

Mighty busy these days. Mighty busy.

This won't take long.

I shan't ask you...

why you held back the money

so long as you return it.

Oh, sure, sure.

Don't worry about it. Sit down.

Oh. (Chuckles) You know,

you've been away a long time.

- What about the money?

- You'll get it. You'll get it.

Every cent of it.

Sit down.

Why'd you come back, Miss Pinky?

Never fgured that you would.

- Why shouldn't I? This is my home.

- Don't give me that, Miss Pinky.

jake's smart. He sees things.

Man most likely, huh?

White man? Couldn't tell him

and couldn't not tell him, huh?

- Look, Jake, I haven't got all...

- Of course. Didn't mean

to be nosy, Miss Pinky.

jake's your friend.

He only wants to help you.

Help me by giving me back

my grandmother's money.

Oh, yes. The money. Well, I never

keep much cash money on me.

- Keep it all in the bank, Miss Pinky.

- Is it far to the bank?

Bank's closed today. Saturday.

Very well. You can give me

whatever you have on hand...

and I'll tell my grandmother

you'll pay her the rest on Monday.

- Of course, I never keep

much money around the house.

- Mind giving me what you have?

just a minute. I'll look around.

(Jake) This every bit of money I got

in the house. A ten and a five makes $ 1 5.

(Pinky) I'll tell my grandmother

you'll give her the rest on Monday.

- (Jake) Monday. Sure.

- You be sure and come by Monday.

- I'll be there, all right.

- Jake, what's she doin' with my money?

- Rozelia, you know I didn't...

- What you doin' with my money?

- Rozelia, you know

who that is? Miss Pinky.

- I don't care.

- Miss Pinky,

that happens to be my money.

- Let go of me!

Come high, don't you? Drop that.

Why, you... I'll split you open

if you don't give me my money.
