a little trouble at the bank.

They didn't like some of those checks.

More bum checks, huh?

Mal Granger, Trudy Maxwell.

How are you?

-Hi.

He's going to put in

a few improvements around here.

You mean like fresh air?

I'm beginning to feel like a termite

working out of this basement

all the time.

Yeah, you could stand

a little air conditioning.

When I have time, you might give me

your ideas on the subject.

You've got a new approach.

First guy I ever met that made

air conditioning sound like etchings.

I've got things to do, Mal

You'll start work tomorrow, huh?

The faster, the better.

You can say that again.

Nice to have met you, Vince.

It was my pleasure.

Goodbye.

-So long.

That was a good dinner, wasn't it?

The steaks are delicious.

To think a few hours ago

I was a wage slave.

You ought to get rid of that.

-Uh-uh.

I still can't figure out why you

quit the phone company.

Honey, I got to thinking.

Are telephones here to stay?

Sure, they're here to stay.

You were doing fine with the company.

I was already beginning

to make a few plans.

Yeah? What kind of plans?

You know. I thought maybe

after your next raise...

Honey, there's nothing wrong

with your plans.

You just got the wrong guy.

-What do you mean?

You just hang on to your plans, baby,

but let go of me.

How are your plans...for tonight?

Hey.

What are they doing here?

Excuse us.

This is another one of Vince's angles.

He runs a check cashing service

for bookmakers.

He's sharp, all right.

I'm telling you right now,

I won't discount any more

checks at the old rate.

If you want to duck income tax,

you get eighty cents on a buck

for every stiff and no more.

It's not that, Vince.

He can't keep up the payments

on the 3,000 you advanced him.

It ain't my fault, Mr. Walters.

I only borrowed that dough because I

went overboard. I couldn't pay off.

So what? I want my dough

and the interest.

If you can't keep up your payments,

I'll cut you off the service.

If you do that, I'm out of business.

I gotta have that service, Mr. Walters.

If you could only give me a little time.

I'll give you one week.

Thanks, Mr. Walters, thanks. I'll...

-Get out.

For ten percent interest,

you have to expect a little trouble.

We got 3,600 in stiffs yesterday.

Yes, but you can't make any dough

playing handball with rubber checks.

I want to see a girl about a boy.

I was feeling a little corny just now

and couldn't resist coming over

to tell you what a small world

I think it is.

Oh yes, you're new little boy we hired

to string wires up around the place.

-That's right.

I'm also very good at filling in

when people's dates don't show up.
