Business is business, Mr. Jones.
1:36:05
-Just take a look at this receipt.
-Hello, lda. This is Mildred.
1:36:09
-How's the party?
-Fine. Veda just cut the cake.
1:36:12
-Get your clients to agree to more time.
-Out of the question.
1:36:16
l'll be delayed a little.
1:36:18
What's going on? Are you in trouble?
You sound so funny.
1:36:21
No, l'll tell you about it later.
Keep the party going, will you?
1:36:25
Okay, Mildred.
Get here as soon as you can.
1:36:28
-Was that Mother?
-Yes. She's at the office.
1:36:31
l'm worried. l think
she's in some sort of business trouble.
1:36:35
lt happens in the best of families.
1:36:37
You've got canary feathers
all over your face.
1:36:40
Business and money is all she
thinks about. How about that drink?
1:36:44
-Beauty calls. Excuse us.
-lt's a pleasure.
1:36:47
My clients demand an accounting.
1:36:49
You must satisfy your creditors
or show cause why Mildred's lnc...
1:36:54
...should not be taken away from you.
1:36:56
lf you resist, your creditors force you
into bankruptcy. lt's as simple as that.
1:37:00
Can they do it?
1:37:02
-l'm sorry, Mrs. Beragon.
-Yes, so am l.
1:37:07
l haven't a cent of ready cash in any
of the restaurants. So that's that.
1:37:11
l hoped you'd scrape up enough dough
to get yourself out of this.
1:37:15
-You can still manage the business.
-That's very nice.
1:37:18
Stealing the business from me
and then letting me run it.
1:37:21
l'm not enjoying this.
l haven't any choice.
1:37:24
You've bled this business to live
the way you have since Veda came home.
1:37:27
-l know.
-Okay.
1:37:29
You let a few bills go by.
Pretty soon you're in trouble.
1:37:32
The creditors want your hide.
l can't stop them.
1:37:34
-Another month like this, and we're all out.
-As it is, only l am, right?
1:37:38
lt looks that way. You'd be all right
if Monte hadn't forced it.
1:37:42
Monte? What's he got to do with this?
1:37:44
This was his idea. He wants to sell his share.
l gotta go along or l'm out. Didn't you know?
1:37:51
No.
1:37:53
-You married him. l didn't.
-Good night, Mrs. Beragon.
