The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes Page #2

Hey, yeah.

It'd drive Higgins

right over the edge.

You guys

must be dreaming.

The guy who's selling it

wants 10 grand.

Who is that, Bradley?

A.J. Arno.

That big shot, uh,

who runs the A.J. Arno

investment company, huh?

Well, he's not such

a big shot.

I mean, I think

if we went down there

and talked to him,

we could get him to

donate it to the college.

Aw, man, listen, I'll lay

you any kind of bet

we couldn't even get

in there to see A.J. Arno.

Well, I don't know about that.

I used to work for him.

Dexter, you just cleaned up

at night.

Arno wouldn't even

remember you.

What do you mean

he wouldn't remember me?

Well, I always used

to bump into him

in the elevator

and halls and stuff.

And he always said hello...

kind of.

You know, that's not

too bad an idea.

You know, big firms...

they're always donating

things to universities.

No. No trouble at all,

Wexler.

I'm glad you boys dropped by.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I, uh, I'd love to donate

the computer to Medfield.

I mean, I love that school.

I love the football team,

the track team, the golf team.

It's a wonderful place,

but, uh,

well, uh, I already give them

$20,000 a year.

Gee, Mr. Arno,

we didn't realize

that you'd already

donated.

Well, believe me, if I didn't

give them all that money,

I'd be glad to donate

the computer.

But honestly, uh,

nobody could expect me

to do both, now, could they?

- No.

- No.

- No.

Wait a minute.

Maybe I can work

something out.

Look, just give me

a little time, huh?

Sure.

You know, I like you kids.

I like your spunk.

I like your get-up-and-go.

I like the idea of a student

delegation coming to see me.

Makes me feel good...

up here.

- Bye.

- Thanks.

Goodbye. Goodbye, boys.

Good to see you.

Thanks a lot for giving us

your time, Mr. Arno.

Well, A.J. Arno never forgets

an old employee.

You just come back

any time, Lester.

Um, it's... it's Dexter.

Ah, yes, Dexter.

[Chuckles]

O'Brien...

Ready with yesterday's

stuff?

Yeah, just about, sir.

- Well, run it.

- All right.

[Beeping]

Hey, they did pretty good

with the horses.

750 isn't bad.

That crap table figure

okay?

525. That's real good

for The Palace.

Looks like a real good day

for Applejack.

Yeah, real good.

Incidentally, don't send

that 20 grand to Medfield.

Don't? But you made

that pledge.

Don't you think...

Don't worry about it.

It's all taken care of.

Now, 102 goes right over there.

And, uh, 149

also over there.

146, right.

Okay. Right this way now,

Baxter.

Easy through the door,

you guys. Easy.

That's it.

Right in there.

Now, what do we have here?

Number 125.

Okay, boys,

right over there.
