EXTERIOR STREET �� DAY MEDIUM LONG SHOT �� Uncle Billy is walking along the street, humming happily to himself. He sees some men decorating the Court House with banners and bunting �� there is a huge sign reading Welcome Home Harry Bailey.
UNCLE BILLY (calls out) Be sure you spell the name right.
INTERIOR OUTER OFFICE BUILDING AND LOAN �� DAY FULL SHOT �� The offices are unchanged, still small-time and old- fashioned. The same office force, albeit a few years older Cousin Tilly and Cousin Eustace. Seated on a chair is a middle-aged man with a brief case. The outer door opens and George enters:
GEORGE:
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Cousin Tilly and Cousin Eustace are talking on the phone.
COUSIN EUSTACE:
George! George! It's Harry now on long distance from Washington!
GEORGE:
Harry! What do you know about that?
COUSIN EUSTACE:
He reversed the charges. It's okay, isn't it?
GEORGE:
What do you mean it's okay? For a hero?
(takes the phone) Harry! Oh, you old seven kinds of a son of a gun.
Congratulations! How's Mother standing it? . . . She did? What do you know . . .
(to Eustace) Mother had lunch with the President's wife!
COUSIN TILLY:
Wait till Martha hears about this.
COUSIN EUSTACE:
What did they have to eat?
GEORGE (on phone) What did they have to eat? Harry, you should see what they're cooking up in the town for you . . . Oh, are they?
(to Eustace) The Navy's going to fly Mother home this afternoon.
COUSIN EUSTACE:
In a plane?
GEORGE:
What? Uncle Billy?
(to Eustace) Has Uncle Billy come in yet?
COUSIN TILLY:
No, he stopped at the bank first.
