:33:01
Who ever said Sherlock Holmes
was dead, eh, Mom?
:33:03
I was right, Mother, they're broke.
:33:07
Dick hasn't had a job in
over three months, Dad.
:33:10
Why didn't you tell us before, dear?
:33:12
We were sure he could get a job
and didn't want to worry you.
:33:16
I unloaded my aerospace stock the day
they landed on the moon. I knew...
:33:20
...that was the peak.
I was right.
:33:23
It's a depressed industry.
:33:25
Depressed and depressing.
:33:27
- I was right about the stocks.
- You certainly were.
:33:32
Jane...
:33:34
...l'll make it easier for you.
:33:36
You've come here to borrow
money, haven't you?
:33:39
Yes, Dad.
:33:42
Well, I'd love to help you.
I really would.
:33:45
But I can't. I'm just opposed to
borrowing or lending on principle.
:33:51
Self-reliance. It's like a...
:33:55
...religious thing to me.
:33:58
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
:34:00
He's like my God.
:34:03
- "Need breaks iron." That's what he said.
- Well, it certainly broke us, Dad.
:34:08
I told Mother that both of you have
been living far beyond your means.
:34:12
Nothing, just nothing at all
set aside for a rainy day.
:34:16
All right.
:34:18
It's the monsoon season...
:34:20
...and you're standing
outside in torn raincoats.
:34:25
Come through this by yourselves...
:34:27
...and you'll be dry
for the rest of your lives.
:34:29
Take money from me and you'll be wet.
:34:32
Soaking wet from now on. Jane...
:34:35
...it's the best thing
that could happen.
:34:37
Especially for Dick.
:34:40
I'm so happy for both of
you. Especially for Dick.
:34:44
What about Billy?
:34:46
When I was his age, Mr. Nostic
gave me my first paper route.
:34:51
I've heard that story already.
:34:54
Dad, Billy is doing homework
by candlelight.
:34:57
Splendid. So did Abraham Lincoln.
