lf it isn't, you'll get your
property back in better condition.

:42:03
lt's a gamble,
but you can't lose much.

:42:05
l like to gamble, Mr. Fay.
But the odds are against me.

:42:09
-l'm afraid l'm not interested.
-Please, listen to me.

:42:13
This is a gamble for me too.
:42:15
l'm putting every cent
l have into this place. l haven't much.

:42:18
l can't afford to lose.
l've got all the information.

:42:21
l know what it will cost
and how much l can make.

:42:24
l know l can do it. l know l can!
:42:28
Very well. lt's a deal.
:42:30
Great! l'll draw up the papers.
One more thing.

:42:33
-We'll need a pre-dated transfer of ownership.
-You want it immediately?

:42:36
Yeah. We'll give you a note,
you give us the deed.

:42:39
You take care of the details.
:42:42
Well, how does it feel to be
the owner of a white elephant?

:42:45
lt feels wonderful!
:42:48
How about Uncle Wally?
:42:52
-Nice guy.
-Very. Good-looking too.

:42:54
-Maybe, but no brains.
-What do you mean?

:42:56
You conning him out of the deed
without putting down a cent.

:42:59
-Sure!
-You leave the angles to Uncle Wally.

:43:03
-There's one other thing to do.
-What's that?

:43:05
Sorry.
l don't feel romantic this afternoon.

:43:08
No, nothing like that.
lt's serious. lt's about Bert.

:43:10
-What's on your mind?
-You won't like it.

:43:13
You'll have to get a divorce
if you want to open that restaurant.

:43:16
What's that got to do with it?
:43:18
ln California, they got
a community property law.

:43:20
-Half of what's Bert's is yours.
-What's half of nothing?

:43:23
lt works two ways.
Half of what you own is Bert's.

:43:26
You open that restaurant and Bert's
creditors will be saying, ''Give me.''

:43:30
-ls a divorce the only answer?
-Why?

:43:32
-lt takes a year to get a divorce.
-Are you getting cold feet?

:43:36
Why bother if it takes a year?
:43:37
lt takes a year to be final. Once
entered, the creditors can't touch you.

:43:41
-Your worries are over.
-l'll be seeing Bert next week.

:43:44
He's coming to take
the children for the weekend.

:43:47
-l'll think about it.
-Nothing to think about!

:43:49
-No divorce, no restaurant!
-l'll think about it, Wally!

:43:53
l'd have to know a little more about
it. Divorce is serious. l'm not--

:43:57
-Hello, Dad!
-Hello, dear.

:43:58
We'll be down in a minute.
:43:59
Veda wants to know where
