Sold to the jolly gentleman

for 290 dollars.

Thank you.

Folks,

that concludes the sale for today.

You!

Come pay your money

and take you clock out of here.

Pardon me just a moment.

I beg your pardon sir,

but you don't understand.

I wasn't bidding for myself.

I was bidding for a lady

and she went home

to get her money.

Yeah? Well, you did the bidding

and you'll do the paying.

- Boss.

- Yes.

- What is it?

- He bought a clock and won't pay.

Is that so?

We've got a reaI...

I'll handle this.

I've had trouble

with these birds before.

You pay this money that you

bid or I'll call the cops!

You take that clock and get out

of here!

"You gave it to him and he gave it

to me and I"...

Get out!

Get out!

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Mrs. Hardy.

I wonder if you'll do me a favor. I

have a joint account with my husband

and I'd like to fix it that nobody

can draw the money out but me.

I'd be glad to do it for you

- but you husband was here just now.

- Very nice, thank you.

What?

Did he take the money?

Yes, ma'am.

All of it.

He closed the account.

- Ollie.

- What?

Let's put it down a minute.

- Mr. Finlayson.

- Yes?

- Have you seen my husband?

- He was here a while ago.

Thank goodness for that.

Did he pay you for the furniture?

No.

What was he doing here?

- He bought a grandfather's clock.

- A clock?

- What for?

- For 290 dollars. That's what for.

Here's another nice kettle of fish

you've pickled me in.

What will you tell her

about the clock?

I'll tell her nothing.

I'll keep everything in the dark.

And if you keep your mouth shut,

nobody will be the wiser.

Hello, honey.

- What's the matter?

- Where's the clock?

- What clock?

- The clock you paid 290 dollars for.

Why that's ridiculous.

Where would I get 290 dollars?

Where's that clock?

I don't know. He said

he would keep it in the dark.

And if I didn't keep my mouth shut

then nobody would be the wiser.

Why didn't you keep your trap shut?

Give me that chair.

- Are you cooking something?

- Yes, I'll cook his goose!

Taking my money out of the bank.

I'll give him clocks.

You can go in. The second room

on the right corridor.

Thank you.

- Good morning, Mr. LaureI.

- Good morning.

- How is Mr. Hardy.
