The Trouble with Money Page #2

at all... I...

But Mr Brand, you must know where and

when you've made that cut in the bag?

No... I didn't do it, your honour...

I... I swear that... I don't know

how that cut was made.

Yes, but if you don't know,

who does?

But I have to let you go, due to

a lack of legal evidence, Mr Brand.

Then I am... then I am free?

Yes, Mr Brand, your free...

you can go.

Yes, yes...

Morning Mr Brand, congratulations.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Hey, just a moment, Mr Brand!

Here is a letter for you,

from the Director.

"You are fired."

Brand!

Where are you going?

I wanted to go upstairs for a

minute to pack my things, you see.

O.k... go on... in fact I'm not

allowed to let you in, you know.

But hurry up then... I'll pretend

I didn't see you...

otherwise they'll have my ass.

Say Brand, make sure that

you sign the chit, eh?

For everything you're taking

with you.

And that fat red pencil...

That's the firm's.

Eh, well, goodbye, eh?

All the best.

Two... three... four... five.

One... two...

Miss Brand, just a moment.

Miss Brand, would you be so kind

to come with me for a moment?

You know the mater is this...

Why is the teacher suddenly

leaving?

You are aware of my personal

opinion about you Miss Brand.

Yes... but that doesn't change

the facts.

It's all right, children.

I have lived with debts

for years...

and where the most important

things are concerned on credit...

Go to Brand with the receipt.

You never know if you're going

to get your money or not.

How much is it this week?

One guilder twenty.

I don't have it this week.

Too bad I'll have to take

the vegetables back.

Good day.

Since you... instalments.. the radio

receiver you purchased..

Reminder... to settle your arrears...

for your health insurance...

has not led to any results

we are forced...

to give notice...

and we demand that you...

within a period of not more than

four weeks, vacate the apartment...

give notice... confiscate...

take steps...

payment or press charges...

confiscate... payment...

taxes... within four weeks...

Mail?

Yes...

Well, I'd rather not read it

any more.

It's always the same.

Don't be so heavy, father.

There will be different times.

Any moment there my be a charge.

Honestly, miracles do happen.

See... perhaps there are

good tidings already.

Hello...

The line will be cut off tomorrow.

Yes... yes Thank you, miss...

thank you, thank you.

Well, what was it?

Nothing a wrong connection.

Willy, don't do that.

Why shouldn't I?

Yes... yes... fine.

Of course...

I have to come and

introduce myself.

Ah... that's very good.

Then everything is fine so far.

And I'm sure we will come to

an agreement about the wages.

Only just to be sure. I'd like

to discuss it with my husband.

Sit down for a moment... yes...

just a moment.

Girl... yes, and such good

references... look at that.

You see? Isn't that beautiful?

Look at that name... Brand.

Oh... that's the...

We are sorry, but we are going away

to Switzerland for a few months.

Yes and eh... later, when we have

come back, we can always see.

So eh... there you are, miss.

Thank you.

Goodbye, miss.

Well... is it all settled?

Yes, in a few days I can begin.

Good, I'll have something soon too.

References I don't need.

Hot meals... free beer and

two quarters a night.

In exchange you have to set up

the bowling pins...

return the ball and

indicate the results.

You know bowling? Yes, yes sure.

And don't walk on the alley when the

ball is rolling... it's dead simple.

Working is not something to be

ashamed of...

you can start right away.

Well then... Come on, throw.

Hurry up, kid, throw!

My wife almost hired the daughter

of that man who...

was connected with

that Continent affair.

But... I kicked the little lady

out just in time.

A great nanny for my children...

she would have been.

I feel pity for such people,

but such is life.

There it goes.

Yes...!

Father, father, what's the matter?

What's wrong?

I've had... had a little too much

to drink...

I went somewhere... when I left

the bowling alley and...

walked into a chair.

Why no light?

Because we have to save, Willy.

In a few days I start

my new job, father.

Get some sleep now.

Sleep well, Willy.

Sleep well, father.

Good night.

Dear Willy, I am saying

farewell to this life.

I request one minute silence,

gentlemen... in honour of the deceased.

Thank you very much, gentleman...

I am very touched.

And now item two on

this day's agenda...

I might as well say:

This night's agenda.

The passing away of our highly

esteemed board member...

and founder of our company,

Dr Winlerlmans...

has created a painful situation.

It became evident that

there are large deficits.

Wrong speculations, serious banks

don't want us as a client...

the concern is deeply in debt...

It is painful for me to have

to use this harsh word.

We are heading for a disaster.

Disaster.

There is no way out...

no way out.

No way out.

There is only one solution.

One solution... one solution.

We pay tribute to our esteemed

president, Mr Moorman...

for his brilliant idea.

And invite him to bring this man

here as soon as possible...

if possible before tomorrow,

to avoid a scandal.

The man who will bring us

new money.

Can be here any moment.

I have prepared everything.

Father... their is someone

to see you.

Father... father...!

Why is that door locked...

father!

Father!!!

Yes, yes, I'm coming.

What is that noise?

A car. They've come to get

someone.

It's Brand they've come to get.

It's a shame...

in the middle of the night...

when decent folks are sleeping.

Left, the big stairway.

Do sit down.

And then they've taken him away.

What is going to happend to him now?

I don't know what to do.

A position.

I thank you.

I thank you... I am very happy

that there is at least some trust...

For 25 years I did my job as a bank

messenger to general satisfaction.

This is not for a bank messenger.

I'd be happy to do a different job,

of course, event the smallest one.

Small? On the contrary...

this is a very important position.

Really... well, so much the better,

sir...

I can do a little bookkeeping...

You could also give me the job of...

cashier... I have always made a

little money on the side, at home...

No sir...

I offer you the position...

of director.

I don't think it is very nice

of you to pull my leg.

Recently I've had quite

a few problems...

a lot of misery and then it's hard

if someone is trying to pull such...

No... the International Finance

Institute offers you...

the position of director

for the following reasons.

We finance a company

which aims...

to enable the little man

to buy a house of his own too.

That's why we are looking for

relations in your class.

That's why we are looking for

a man of your social background...

to whom we can trust the

leadership of our subsidiary company.

A man who represents us...
