If I Had a Million Page #2

They may get some pleasure out of it.

- Open that book.

- You can't do that, Mr Glidden.

- Why can't I?

- Well, the relatives would break the will.

- Relatives?

- They would.

- I agree.

- That's right.

Oh, they would, would they?

How long am I going to live?

Why, Mr Glidden,

I can't tell you that exactly.

Well, I can tell you exactly!

I'm gonna live just long enough

to go out and give my money away myself.

Yes, sir!

To people I've never heard of.

Give me that doodah -

that medicine dropper - and fill it.

At last,

I've found a use for that thing.

Give me that book.

The first name that this drop falls on

is gonna get one million dollars.

What's that name?

- "John D Rockefeller."

- What?

Hold that book over here.

One.

Two. Nobody can tell John Glidden

how he's gonna spend his money.

This is one of the nicest

we have in the store. I'm sure you'll like it.

Oh, I'm sorry,

but that isn't what I want at all.

Come, Pearl.

Good day.

One shopper held me up for two

hours, without a bit of encouragement.

- Well, I had two dandy orders.

- However, it's payday.

Oh, my!

- Cover that Lalique before you go.

- Very well, sir.

- Uh, Mr Bullwinkle.

- Hello, Peabody.

Mr Bullwinkle, sir, they took 11 dollars

and 60 cents out of my pay this week.

Well, we can't let you break all the china

you want without charging you.

- You should be more careful, Peabody.

- Yes, I am careful. It isn't always my fault.

It's an awful job carrying china all the time,

especially up and down the stairs.

I think I belong back in book-keeping,

where I was.

You were delighted when we promoted

you. The $5 raise, you forget that?

Yes, I know, but breaking china

all the time, I'm really making less money.

- That's organisation, Peabody.

- Couldn't I get back into the books?

Sorry, but we're full up.

However, if you're completely unhappy...

No, no, Mr Bullwinkle, I wouldn't...

I couldn't quit.

My wife would raise... I guess it'll be all

right. I'll have to be a little more careful.

Fine. Remember, Peabody, there's many

a slip between the cup and the counter.

Yes, sir.

Oh, my!

- Is that you, Henry, darling?

- I think so.

Did you have a nice day?

Did anything interesting happen?

You didn't break any more china, did you?

That reminds me, this is payday.

So give me your cheque.

Henry, you've been feeding that rabbit

again. Give me your cheque.

That's a darling. I think it's wonderful. I

was telling Mrs Wilkins just this afternoon.

I think it's perfectly wonderful,

the steady position with a steady income,

day after day, week after week,

year in and year out, rain or shine.

It's perfectly marvellous.

You've no idea the security it gives a woman
