GEORGE:
Oh, I'm afraid I couldn't get away, Sam.
SAM:
Still got the nose to the old grindstone, eh? Jane, I offered to let George in on the ground floor in plastics, and he turned me down cold.
GEORGE:
Oh, now, don't rub it in.
SAM:
I'm not rubbing it in. Well, I guess we better run along.
There is handshaking all around as Sam and Jane get into their car.
JANE:
Awfully glad to have met you, Mary.
MARY:
Nice meeting you.
GEORGE:
Goodbye.
JANE:
Goodbye, George.
SAM:
So long, George. See you in the funny papers.
GEORGE:
Goodbye, Sam.
MARY:
Have fun.
GEORGE:
Thanks for dropping around.
SAM (to chauffeur) To Florida!
(to George) Hee-haw!
GEORGE:
Hee-haw.
The big black limousine glides away, leaving George standing with his arm around Mary, gazing broodingly after it. They slowly walk over to George's old car and look at it silently.
WIPE TO:
INTERIOR POTTER'S OFFICE �� DAY CLOSE SHOT �� Potter is lighting a big cigar which he has just given George. The goon is beside Potter's chair, as usual.
GEORGE:
Thank you, sir. Quite a cigar, Mr. Potter.
POTTER:
You like it? I'll send you a box.
GEORGE (nervously) Well, I . . . I suppose I'll find out sooner or later, but just what exactly did you want to see me about?
POTTER (laughs) George, now that's just what I like so much about you.
(pleasantly and smoothly) George, I'm an old man, and most people hate me. But I don't like them either, so that makes it all even. You know just as well as I do that I run practically everything in this town but the Bailey Building and Loan. You know, also, that for a number of years I've been trying to get control of it . . . or kill it. But I haven't been able to do it. You have been stopping me. In fact, you have beaten me, George, and as anyone in this county can tell you, that takes some doing. Take during the depression, for instance. You and I were the only ones that kept our heads. You saved the Building and Loan, and I saved all the rest.
GEORGE:
Yes. Well, most people say you stole all the rest.
POTTER:
The envious ones say that, George, the suckers. Now, I have stated my side very frankly. Now, let's look at your side. Young man, twenty-seven, twenty-eight . . . married, making, say . . . forty a week.
