Well, I haven't been very lucky with my
investments lately.
Investments? Now, I might be able to
help you there.
No, I just as soon check on myself if
you don't mind. Gives me something to
do.
Ah, I can see that you're a shrewd man.
It was nearly £50,000 last year.
£50,000? Well, well,
well, that's incredible.
I was just one number out.
Premium
bonds. That's your investment.
Yes.
Right. Let's get down to business, shall
we?
Yes. Well, I hear that you lend people
money, and I was wondering whether you
could arrange a small loan for me.
Just a moment. I'm afraid there's been a
misunderstanding. I was told that you
were a new customer. I didn't realize
you already had an account with us.
No, I don't. But naturally, if you lent
me the money, I would open an account
with you.
I'd lend you the money to open an
account. If we did that, we'd have the
whole town in here. We had to be very
careful who we lend money to. Any case,
we'd want you to put up some form of
security.
How do you mean?
Well, for example, do you have a house?
Oh, yes. Yes.
Do you know its value?
Not off hand, no. But I could ask the
landlord.
In any case, before we could possibly
open you an account, we should need the
name of two referees.
[Music]
I don't know any referees.
Two people who could vouch for you.
Preferably professional mates.
Oh, there's my doctor and Mr. Webster,
my psychiatrist.
Psychiatrist? You having treatment? No,
that was a long time ago.
I just went to him cuz I thought I was a
failure.
What did he say?
He thought I was too good, Mr. Spencer.
You want me to leave?
There was the general idea.
Well, that's not very fair. You don't
know the first thing about me.
You've no money, no account, no house,
no job. Your only source of income is a
baby that hasn't been born. And your
only reference, a medical man who says
that you're a failure.
That doesn't tell you everything.
It tells me a hell of a lot.
But I got to start somewhere. If I just
had a little capital, I could
Mr. Spencer. The interview is over. Will
you please leave?
I know I'm only one of the little men,
but remember what they say.
Will you get out?
Even the tallest oak tree has to begin
with a small nut.
[Music]
Just think of me as a little nut
who's trying to grow. Then go outside
and grow in somebody else's bank.
