your grandfather for a loan.

You don't have

to. I already have.

You did? -A-and

he okayed it?

Why not? Jay and I are getting

along great with him these days.

Uh-oh.

Well, there goes the garage.

Oh, boy.

- Well, you blew it again, Jay.

- I didn't blow it. He did.

Oh, good heavens.

I was certain I had

the perfect trajectory.

You, sir?

Don't panic. It's just one

more crystal chandelier.

I told Duke and Bert you said

"okay" about the loan, grandfather.

Yes. Right, fine. Let's see, what

is the next thing on the agenda?

Ah, judo. -Uh, Mr. Osborne.

I can't tell you how much

we appreciate that loan.

But it has got to be on a

strictly nonpersonal basis.

I do agree. It should be a note.

Legally correct, duly signed.

So there can be no

misunderstanding. -Absolutely.

What should that

rate of interest be?

Uh, you don't happen to have

any relatives in buffalo, do you?

Not that I can recall, no.

You two gentlemen

drop by the bank in the

morning and we'll wrap

the whole thing up.

- Come along, Jay. Judo time.

- I-I'll be careful, grandpa.

I hope Jay doesn't

get carried away.

I hope your grandfather

doesn't get carried away.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I think I'm gonna like

The idea of this family

of yours living out here.

So am I.

t'll be very convenient.

For instance,

If somebody wanted to take

somebody else to the movies,

Then Bert could stay

here and baby-sit us.

Ha-rah!

I think Jay won another match.

I'll get Dr. Butterworth

on the telephone.

There we are.

Jay!

Oh. Oh, boy.

You should've seen it, Tracy.

One second I had

grandfather in a wristlock,

And the next second I was in the

pond. -It's all in the balance.

I didn't hurt you, I

trust? -Of course not.

You know, I used to be a judo

champion in the armed service.

- A real champion?

- A real champion.

Boy, I think you're

super, grandpa.

Jameson, do you hear

that? Jay thinks I'm super.

- I think you're super too.

- Oh, thank you, darling.

Know something? I

think from now on,

we three are going to have

a lot of fun together.

I think so too. -Me too.

What did you do after I

had you in that wristlock?

Come down to the mat,

and I'll show you.

I'm bigger than you, so use

my weight to help yourself.

Now, hold my wrist

there. The other hand.

Now, bend your

knees. One, two...

No, wait a minute. One,

two. Now, you stand there.

Imagine that I go, "whoo."

now we're even.

...the end...
