earth is that boy doing up there I don't know he's had that mattress fixed and does something about diving or something well you'd better check he's missing that mattress junior hurry dear look look before he shows up this sister Betty now Oliver we've gone all over that I simply want the shares long so Betty will realize I too know how to furnish a bedroom it isn't worth it Mary those things are out of sight and I just spent all the money I'm going to I know you did I'll bet your sister doesn't even know how to get on or off one of those things be a funny man if you wish Oliver well I'm determined to have my home furnished in a modern manner a she's long a chase long a chase lounge it's just a long chair long dear look Oliver I don't ask for many things but one thing I'm going to have is a shares long and I'll bet you do too no junior eat your breakfast everything all right at the office pop yes everything's all right at the office just thought I'd ask sit down junior don't breathe over your father's shoulder yeah I was just looking at the one edge mom well sit down and eat your breakfast I just can't put the old chair back in that room Oliver but Mary I don't have 15 or $20 just to throw out the window 15 or 20 you can't buy a shares long for less than 50 Oliver junior stop making so much noise when you eat pop did you show mom the red in the paper yeah a chassis long go you know never out of a crate 1650 no I didn't I'll go to the furniture store and buy what we need and we know what we're getting this isn't your problem junior no that's right all you have to do is tell me where to you always seem to find $50 when you need a motor overhaul or something well that's different I use the car in my business the room is a different thing you only use it at night and in the dark who cares what kind of furniture you have in it I can own you a few dollars dad I found out how to open my bank without a screwdriver I mean you leave that money in there it's yours I can take care of the family expenses well you have that letter from the finance company I know but maybe I can think of something else well pop wouldn't Mr. Meister loan you a few more dollars a few more oh well junior just means that three dollars I borrowed from Homer to get a fishing license you borrowed money from Homer Meister well Oliver Anderson did you pay him back of course I paid him back but Homer wouldn't have any money that is big money like you need the heck he hasn't such talk junior the heck he hasn't how do you know well when I was helping Mrs. Meister over there she showed me $200 they had in a trunk that's all right that's their savings I just won't let the neighbors know we need money oh I could work it so they wouldn't know Mary I just won't have it Oliver suppose he refuses then how would you feel it won't fuse me that is if I can get him to open the trunk oh no you couldn't Oliver that's a fine thing you act like I'm gonna steal it I'm good for $50 well I don't want you to get that money from Homer I won't have Martha knowing we need money Martha won't know I'll give it back to him on the 10th I wish you wouldn't ask Homer oh don't be silly Homer do anything for me well then I don't know human beings that could be possible yeah well I'll have to hurry Mary I'm gonna see Homer now wait a minute Mary don't leave I've never been so humiliated in my life gee what's wrong with mom I don't know junior she seems upset yeah you know pop it's things like this that makes me wonder if marriage is what it's cracked up to be junior I'm surprised don't you ever let me hear you talk that way again young man your mother's a very very happy woman well sure I know that but she has such funny ways of showing it now look when you grow up junior and you're the head of a house like I am like you are well I mean when you're married and happy you'll find these little things come up now and then yeah but mom thinks you're not gonna get the furniture yeah I know but you are gonna get it aren't you pop yeah hi Homer oh well bus my gallus is a bed ain't all over oh can't stay home I just thought I'd drop over come on in Marthe's cleaning up a bit yeah hello Marthe oh it's you yeah how's Mary sit down Oliver sit down you got them cans and things to take out Homer oh I know it dag nabbit can't afford a rest for just one minute huh I see you got that room finished Oliver yeah all fixed up and ready to furnish oh you're getting new stuff oh well just a couple of pieces Mary wants to chase lounge new furniture is out of sight does she know that oh sure all I know is she's gonna get it where is she getting it oh well we haven't decided yet well don't you get it at the down-of-flight department store yes that's where we always trade they're so nice there yeah they've got real good buys down there Oliver where some of the stuff you can hardly tell from you we bought that rocker right there from them we did seven seventy five eight dollars Marthe well with the tax yes my my we got hold of a new salesman heavens he didn't know where anything was he sure didn't Oliver just sitting this chair and see how comfortable it is don't have much time yeah that's it see how she sets Garce they wanted $15 for the same thing at the at the regal department store well I gotta get my dishes done and you better get them cans emptied Homer yep yep yep oh that woman Oliver right away Marthe hey don't she rock good Oliver huh yeah it's a little noisy hey don't some of the newer chairs have springs in them oh well I guess a fella could get springs in them if he was foolish enough to pay for more stuff like that well of course we aren't gonna spend much and I suppose I should wait until I get my check I don't have quite enough right this minute yeah yeah there's no use going in debt is there could borrow it I suppose yeah yeah that'd be kind of foolish though I think I'd wait if it was me oh only come to a hundred or so I'd be willing to pay a five dollar bonus for a week oh nope nope nope I was sure wouldn't do it Oliver no sir we that Johnson fella around the corner he wanted me to loan him $20 did oh me there's no I'd loan anybody money well just a fella can't loan something he doesn't have oh no it weren't that one huh I got it all right darn sight more than 22 yeah but you don't dare touch it oh don't dare touch it hey it's mine in it yeah but I was thinking of Martha yeah well yeah yeah but Martha if I really wanted to take it I could you know over look that's one thing about you I was telling Mary this morning I said Homer as a Homer can certainly handle women that's what you said yes sir and what did Mary say well I don't remember exactly but I do know this over if you came over to my place and asked me to loan you a hundred dollars Mary wouldn't stop me well that that's cuz you're like I am what's more I'd loan it to you too if you needed it yep yep I believe you would Oliver I know you'd loan me a hundred if I needed it well of course I kind of and Marcy couldn't stop you neither well well no no no guess you couldn't if I really put the foot right down okay now look Homer hmm I need a hundred dollars till the 10th like I told Mary Marcy won't let him loan it to me but Mary sticks up for you of course she does she does so I told her I'd drop over and see you first where well now now wait wait wait wait wait yeah you want me to loan you a hundred dollars well yeah roughly that's the idea when I look give me your ear get right up close I'll do it well yeah if I can get it out the trunk oh you get trouble you get oh no me oh no you guess again Oliver here you won't you I ain't getting in no trouble at all sure you're able to do it now owner well look tell her what you do you just go on out in the kitchen yeah and keep Marcy gab and get her talking and until I get it out the trunk but I'm afraid you'll get no no no no look you do as I say no and I'll sneak in the closet quiet as a mouse no stumble over you know she won't even know him in there back to you before she knows it's gone yep yep that's right you know you go on and you you keep old Marcy gab and now but I feel funny about Marcy Marcy kitchen looks nice since you had a painted paint painted just cleaned is all oh Marcy Mary wanted me to thank you for that jar of figs well I don't believe in wasting nothing it's the only way to get ahead where's Homer Homer why the other room Homer he didn't go out did he don't think so maybe I'd better go see he's always sneaking out to the pool room every time the backs turn oh no I know I didn't go out Martha I think he's a hunting for something oh so that's what he's doing I knew if I set that trap I'd catch myself a rat so that's what you were doing hmm fooling around that old trunk again oh still now oh they most cut off Marcy good enough for you what you're hunting for in there what's it to you nothing only if you're looking for the money Homer it's in the bank to the Anderson family while Oliver failed to get the $100 loan from his neighbor Homer Meister to buy the new furniture for the added bedroom so he returns home to try once more to talk Mary out of getting the things until he gets his check yes it's me well you've been pop why nothing his Mrs. Meister still mad Oliver did you get that money from Homer I did not well I'm glad I called the regal department store and they have just what I want a chef's long yeah but they're pretty high Homer told me about another place better prices but I found out that you can get a charge account at the regal and you won't have to borrow the money Oliver no no I like to pay cash for things but it is so simple Oliver and their furniture is so much better than most places better than the down-of-flight department store junior such talk why should you spend two prices for everything I tell you we can't afford their prices all right Oliver as you say we'll go to the store of your choice but I don't think it's right she mom you really want that stuff don't you yes I do the only way to get is to get it to go right down now and do it okay it's a deal now who on earth is calling oh Homer come on in well hello Mary Oliver want to be to go downtown with him and kind of introduce him around you know I know most of the people at the down-of-flight store and save him some money yeah I was just talking to Oliver about it hi
