Adam's Rib Page #9

in the same room with a mad bull.

-l'll never be in the same room with you!

-That suits me fine.

You will be in the same room with me

to settle things.

-All right!

-That's tomorrow. Don't forget it.

l hope you can afford to pay me...

for what you owe me,

you great clumsy oaf!

Oh, go inside!

You think you know something about law.

Well, let me tell you.

l know something about law, too.

l know something about the law...

and there's gonna be a law against you!

Nobody. Like l told you, just plain nobody.

l don't know what's the matter with you.

You're always hearing things.

Now, here's a check.

$337.41 issued to Martin L. Baumer.

What's that? lt's on the joint account.

-Furrier.

-Mending a coat.

Put it on mine. The coat was a present.

-l know.

-l gave you the coat.

-l expect to keep it in repair.

-Not at all.

-l want to.

-l can't help that.

lf we're gonna debate every item,

we'll be here till the next quarter.

-Okay.

-Mine.

And not deductible. N.D.

All right. Next is Pollard and Douglas.

That's seeds for the house in the country.

$478.60?

-We like a lot of plants.

-Liked.

N.D.

All right. $100 to Dwight Everly.

That was.... Remember that?

That was a bet we lost. l lost.

-A bet? What kind of bet?

-What difference does it make?

N.D.

-Something you can't tell me?

-lt's nothing. Silly.

All right. Juel Delwyn, $280.

You should note all these on your stubs.

Saves time.

-That was mine. Not deductible.

-What is it? Maybe it is.

-Just some underwear.

-Underwear?

$280 worth?

Wasn't my underwear.

Very well.

Thank you.

Bridgeport, Connecticut,

Citizens Bank:
$8,740.30.

-That's what?

-The last payment on the farm.

lt's written on the stub there.

l made out that check myself.

l'm sure it's there.

Who said it wasn't? lt isn't.

The point is, how much of that

is interest which is deductible...

and how much is actual

mortgage payment, which is not?

-l don't know. Do you, Adam?

-No.

By that time we were so excited

at getting it paid off...

that we just got careless.

-Oh, this was final?

-Yes.

We own it now.

Every scrap.

lt took us six years.

But we made it.

Free and clear.

You know, there's a new ruling on that.

This process could be considered

as paying the interest in advance.

''The taxpayer, however, can deduct

this type of interest payment...

''only at the time

the mortgage is fully paid.

''Taxpayers who use

the accrual method of accounting...

''can take the deduction

as the interest payments...

''accrued during the life of the mortgage.''

But l don't know whether

that would actually--

-Listen, Pinky.

-What?

lf we started now,

we could get there in time for dinner.

And see the dogs?

Of course, there isn't much in the freeze.

You don't want to go.

We'll be here another two hours at least.

Yes, l do.

-You don't really want to go.

-There are a lot more items.

Here.

Come on.

Where?

Come on.

Home. Back to the farm.

-Wait. You've got to--

-Sign our names. Give them the money.

-Sign anything.

-This could cost you.

We don't care about that.

The more taxes we pay,

the better we like it.

See?

-Say!

-Speaking to me?

-You were pretty good.

-When?

All the way through.

Especially the summation.

You had me.

-Almost.

-Almost?

-You weren't so bad yourself.

-l didn't think so either.

We got a big thing

to talk about tomorrow.

What?

They want me to run for

that county court judgeship.

The Republicans do.

lt's a sure seat, practically.

-Pinky!

-Yeah, that's me.

County Court Judge Pinky.

l'm real proud of you.

l'd rather have you say that than anything.

-Adam.

-Yes?

Have they picked

the Democratic candidate yet?

l was just wondering.

You were.

But you wouldn't.

How do you know?

Because l'd cry, and then you wouldn't.

-What?

-l'd cry...

the way l did in Julie's office today.

Got me what l wanted. Got me you back.

-Those were real, those tears.

-Of course they were...

but l can turn 'em on anytime l want to.

Us boys can do it, too.

We just never think to.

-Bunk!

-Bunk, huh?

Keep your eye on the eye.

We're having a fuss, see, and l'm losing.

So here they come.

On your mark, get set, go.

See?

Now l'll help it along a little, like this.

Yes. There ain't any of us

don't have our little tricks.

All right, but what does that show?

What have you proved?

lt shows the score.

Shows that what l said was true.

There's no difference between the sexes.

Men, women, the same.

They are, huh?

Maybe there is a difference,

but it's a little difference.

-You know as the French say?

-What do they say?

-Vive la diffrence!

-Which means?

Which means,

''Hooray for that little difference! ''
