GEORGE:
How's that?
POP:
I say, maybe you were born older. I suppose you've decided what you're going to do when you get out of college.
GEORGE:
Oh, well, you know what I've always talked about �� build things . . . design new buildings �� plan modern cities �� all that stuff I was talking about.
POP:
Still after that first million before you're thirty.
GEORGE:
No, I'll settle for half that in cash.
Annie comes in again from the kitchen.
POP:
Of course, it's just a hope, but you wouldn't consider coming back to the Building and Loan, would you?
Annie stops serving to hear his answer.
GEORGE:
Well, I . . . (to Annie) Annie, why don't you draw up a chair? Then you'd be more comfortable and you could hear everything that's going on.
ANNIE:
I would if I thought I'd hear anything worth listening to.
GEORGE:
You would, huh?
She gives George a look, and goes on out into the kitchen. Bailey smiles and turns to George.
POP:
I know it's soon to talk about it.
GEORGE:
Oh, now, Pop, I couldn't. I couldn't face being cooped up for the rest of my life in a shabby little office.
He stops, realizing that he has hurt his father.
GEORGE (cont'd) Oh, I'm sorry, Pop. I didn't mean that remark, but this business of nickels and dimes and spending all your life trying to figure out how to save three cents on a length of pipe . . . I'd go crazy. I want to do something big and something important.
POP (quietly) You know, George, I feel that in a small way we are doing something important. Satisfying a fundamental urge. It's deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace, and we're helping him get those things in our shabby little office.
GEORGE (unhappily) I know, Dad. I wish I felt . . . But I've been hoarding pennies like a miser in order to . . . Most of my friends have already finished college. I just feel like if I don't get away, I'd bust.
POP:
Yes . . . Yes . . . You're right, son.
GEORGE:
You see what I mean, don't you, Pop?
POP:
This town is no place for any man unless he's willing to crawl to Potter. You've got talent, son. You get yourself an education.
Then get out of here.
GEORGE:
Pop, do you want a shock? I think you're a great guy.
To cover his embarrassment, he looks toward the kitchen door and
calls:
GEORGE (cont'd) Oh, did you hear that, Annie?
