that he mis-inscribed 14 checks since Mrs. Cord
left. And he tells her that he needs for her to start
running the household, paying the bills, planning the
menus, hiring and firing. Betty tells him that she will be
too busy being Mrs. Cord to do all those things. Betty
reminds him that she is Mrs. Cord, too. Peyton shows
her where the records are kept. He shows her a list of

says, "What'll it be?" He orders a beer and says his name

says if it weren't for him she would be on the next bus out
of there going anywhere and nowhere. She calls him

to be free. Sandy promises that she won't bother him
anymore.

MP: Never attempt to substitute sarcasm for self
assurance. Once the creature cries "oink" the whole
world knows his origin.
SC: I'm afraid mine are already well advertised,
grandfather.
