Mr. Carlson- So gentlemen How much would you like to put into a savings?

Davy- We have $25.00

Mr. Carlson- Each?

Davy- No just $25.00

Micky slaps his hand over his face. Mike rolls his eyes.

Peter is transfixed, on a red pencil. sitting in a cup filled with pens.

Peter thought to himself.

Peter- Don't worry little red pencil. I know what it's like to be different. To stand out in a crow-

Mike, Micky, and Davy- Peter!!!!!!

Peter comes back to the present.

Peter: Did we get the loan, I mean savings?

Mr. Carlson: Yes You did. Congradulations. See you in another week, for your second, $25.00. I'm suppose to collect the full $100.00 on sign up, but I'm flexible. I figure we've been here a long time,we're not going anywhere.

They shake hands with him, and leave

Mr. Frizby stopped Mr. Webster.

Mr. Frizby- Mr. Webster before you go, here is your check. $68.00 .

Mr Webster looked at it. First he was shocked, then he was angry.

Mr. Webster- Where's my raise?

Mr. Frizby- Oh that, well-

Mr. Webster: Now see here, I've worked at this bank for forty years. Last week was my 27th robbery. I risked my life,and saved this bank!!

Mr. Frizby- Calm down

Mr. Webster- No I will not calm down!!!!! You promised me a raise.

Mr. Frizby- I know.. I know.

Mr. Webster- And the time before that. And the one before that. And so on! I'm sick Of it Mr. Frizby! In fact I'm so sick I'm going to leave this place!

Mr. Frizby- You won't quit, Webster.

Mr.Webster-You're right I won't quit. I'm retiring as of Friday! I'm getting too old, to play the games that you play.

Mr. Frizby- Excuse me I do not play games!

Mr Webster- Sure you do, Every day, You play with people's hopes and expectations. Years of service means nothing to you! Everyday, you find a way to lie and cheat out of every promise. How, do you live with yourself ? I guess, we'll never know.....

Mr. Webster cashed his check and stormed out.

Mr. Frizby- Good riddence.
