Follow That Dream Page #4

they always gotta take orders.

Some folks tell you what to do

They think they know more than you

They insist that they're giving sound advice

But as sure as you're living

It ain't sound, it ain't nice

It just doesn't sound like sound advice

Some folks like to be the boss

They get up on their high horse

Oh, they say that you're getting

sound advice

There's one thing I'm betting

It ain't wise, it ain't nice

You won't like the sound of their advice

Sound advice we're given, sound advice

Just as sure as you're living

If you're smart, you'll think twice

When they start to sound off with advice

Don't listen to their sound advice

Toby, 15 minutes left.

- Kind of like a church, ain't it?

- Yeah.

What they got them poor fellows

locked up for?

No.

They're tellers. They cash cheques,

and make change and things like that.

- Oh, do they do the lending, too?

- Well, I suppose so.

No, no, there. Through the glass door.

Now, Toby, you make sure

and don't forget to tell them...

...that we grossed $92 on Sunday.

And that you were in the Army.

That's for character reference. Okay?

Now, go on.

- Hey, ain't you coming with me?

- No, I can't go in. I'm not dressed.

- You don't look no crummier than I do.

- Well, now it's different for a man.

Now, you go on, Toby.

I'll be standing here, praying.

Anything I can do for you?

No, I don't believe I have any use

for a policeman right now, thank you.

All right.

- Oh. Pardon me, please.

- Oh, yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

- What do you want?

- Money.

Money?

There's nothing to be afraid of,

in fact, I'm just as scared as you are.

What's that you're saying?

- You're feeling sick, huh?

- Yeah.

- Help, help.

- You look like you need help.

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

- Get your hands up.

- Who, me?

- Come on, get them up!

- And drop this fellow on the floor?

- He's got a hostage.

- Open that dang door, will you?

He says open this door.

Get him before he can go for his gun!

Watch out we don't hit Mr Binkley.

This man's in bad shape,

and he ain't gonna get no better...

...if you fellows don't do what I say.

One of you better call him an ambulance.

Hold it right there or

I'll blow your head off.

Well, the way you're waving that thing

around, you're likely to hit most anybody.

And you better put yours down, too.

Thank you.

Well, why don't somebody get him a doctor?

Watch out, Mr Endicott, he's got a gun.

Hello, Toby. Are you holding up this bank?

- No, sir. Is somebody holding it up?

- Where did you get that gun?

I took it away from him.

He was over there waving it around,

he might shoot somebody.

- Bet it's even loaded.

- Let me have it, please.

- Yes, sir.

- Thank you.

Now, what have you done to George?

Nothing. I just picked him up. He fainted.

Are you all right, sir?

- I don't know, I... Who are you?

- A friend of mine.

He runs that fishing place

out on the new highway.

Oh, well, I'm sorry. I thought you...

All right, guard, open up the doors, please.

It's all right, folks.

Nothing to be frightened about.

Just a mistake,

everything will be all right.

- Toby, are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm all right, Holly. I'm all right.

- Hello, Mr Endicott.

- Hello, dear.

Well, maybe you can tell me

what this is all about?

I don't know.

It just seemed to happen all at once.

- Well, Mr Binkley yelled for help and...

- No, I didn't.

George, remember you're a vice president.

Please get off the depositors' table.

- Well, I didn't yell for help.

- Toby did.

- Well, I thought he was sick.

- This man broke into the bank vault...

I understand, guard. Here's your gun.

Just go about your business.

Yes, sir.

Well, let's get down to fundamentals.

Now, young lady, what are you

and this gentleman doing in our little bank?

- We want to borrow $2,000.

- Please.

Well, you went to the right person.

George here is our loan officer.

Could we have the money right now, sir?

You see, the parking meter

is running outside...

Well, Toby, we don't do things

quite that fast here.

Why don't we come to my office?

I think George needs to sit down.

Well, come along. Come along, George.

So if we can get the dock and the boats

and the outboard motors...

...we could rent them,

make a lot of money, and build a house.

Well, George here is the man

you're gonna have to convince.

You frightened him to death,

now it's his turn to frighten you.

Mr Kwimper, the bank must have security...

...well, that is to say that we have to

be sure that we'll get our money back.

- Now, this is Mrs Kwimper?

- Oh, no, sir. She just lives with me.

Well, I didn't mean to pry.

I think you're getting

the wrong impression, George.

How long have you lived

with the Kwimpers?

Since I've been about 13.

Toby's Pop took me in...

...for the same reason he took in Ariadne

and the twins. We had no place to go.

- Get the picture, George?

- Oh, thank you.

Yes. Yes, sir.

Now, this land that you're living on...

...well, is it mortgaged?

- I don't know, sir. We don't own it.

- We're homesteading.

Well, we can't very well lend you

money on property you don't own yet.

- Well, we own our john.

- I didn't quite catch that.

Our john, and I guess we own the house

that we built for it, too.

Yes. Well, let's move on here, shall we?

Now, how about your car?

Well, that car means an awful lot to Pop

even though it only cost $50.

Besides, it's got fried hubcaps.

Of course.

Well, George, you've got to admit

he's been giving you honest answers...

...not cagey ones, but honest.

A week ago he refused to take $20

for a public fish.

That's very commendable. I think that...

How is that?

It doesn't really matter.

I happen to have a very high opinion

of honesty.

Well, yes, sir, of

course. But is it security?

It just might be that this is

the only real security there is.

Well, sir, I became a vice president

of this bank...

...because I made it a habit

never to contradict the boss.

This bank is about to lend you $2,000.

We're very grateful, sir,

but I don't want to try to fool anybody.

Now that car of Pop's is in a terrible mess.

It doesn't matter, Toby. What we're making

is known as a character loan.

We do it now and then, but not

often enough for the good of our souls.

- Don't you agree, George?

- Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. Yes, sir.

Well, nice having done business

with you, Toby.

Thank you, Mr Endicott.

- And you, Holly.

- Thank you, sir.

- Oh, Mr King.

- Yes?

Miss Claypoole's office just called. She has

your memo and she can see you now.

Good. Call her back

and tell her I'll be right there.

Yes, sir.

Well, I gather you don't think highly

of these Kwimper people.

You gather good.

They sound half hillbilly, half hobo to me.

With a tincture of Bowery bum

and possibly wino.

Well, Arthur, if this memo of yours

is correct, this is a case for the police...

...not for Social Welfare.

Does the memo imply

they've broken the law?

I don't recall making any such statement.
