Just Around the Corner Page #4

---

I was working so hard,

I didn't even hear you.

Wasn't that funny?

[Laughing]

Penny, what have you

been up to?

Oh, I'm just making

some fudge. Taste?

The girls at school taught me.

It's the best fudge. Now, you just

sit down and wait quietly, and--

And--

Well, you might as well

let me have it.

No, sweetheart, not that.

But what have you

been doing to Mr. Waters?

Oh, don't let's talk

about me all the time.

How about you? I've had my fingers

crossed and my feet crossed.

Did that big banker

listen to our plan?

He did not.

He wouldn't even see me.

Never mind. If he comes here,

we'll throw him out.

We won't be here to throw him out

if you don't behave.

Waters will throw us out.

Why can't people be nice

to other people?

[ Buzzer Buzzing]

- What's that?

- Wait a minute.

- [Buzzing Continues]

- That's it.

- What's it? What's wrong?

- Nothing's wrong.

Everything is gonna be all right now.

I'm gonna see a man...

and when I come back,

everything's gonna be all fixed:

Money, job and everything.

[ Knocking]

- Jeff!

- Lola!

Listen, he's all alone.

There isn't a soul in the house.

Well, you're an angel.

- [Man] Come in. Come in. What do you want?

- Good luck, darling.

[Door Closes]

Well, I've never

seen you before.

I think it's time you did.

I worked for you for two years.

Oh, yeah?

Did I fire ya?

- What's your name?

- Jeff Hale.

- I think you remember the name.

- Oh, Mr. Hale.

Yeah, the expensive Mr. Hale.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, Mr. Hale,

the architect.

Yeah, the man who dreamed of the majestic

East Gate project.

- I worked through Mr. Warner, my attorney.

- Yeah, well, you may have...

worked through him,

but you got to me...

for $10 million!

Yeah, you were the genius that handed me

that $10 million lemon!

It isn't a lemon.

If you had vision?

Vision? Don't you

talk to me about vision.

Come here.

Here, look at that.

Yeah, I don't need

any vision to see that...

but I'll need a lot to see

any of that $ 10 million again.

Who let you in here,

young man?

If you want the truth, Lola did.

She believes in this project.

- She believes in me.

- And I believe that you are the nerviest rascal...

that I ever met

in a life knee-deep in rascals.

Using my niece to get in here, feeding her

your crack-brained schemes.

- Careful. Remember your stomach.

- You leave my stomach out of it.

You leave her out of it too.

She's crack-brained enough without your help.

She's the sanest one

in the family at that.

But they're all Einsteins

compared to you.

Come here.

Now, you git.

- Mr. Henshaw--

- Git!

- Jeff, what happened? How'd it come out?

- Awful.

Oh, darling, sit down,

tell me all about it.
