I don't know. I believe that's our ring. I know this law, my belief is right. No, see. Hello, John. I'm down store. This is love and abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.

Love is very much relieved now that the burglary charge against him has been dismissed by the judge at the county seat. The old fellows are reunited in the store business. And as we're looking on the John down store today, we find love just completing the job of untangling the books That Abner attempted to keep while Lumb was away from the business.

Ready to get that over with. War to a fragile. War to a fragile. I don't see what you're so wore out about. You've just been sitting down there for three days studying over in bookkeeping books.

I've had to do all the work. You don't know what work is, but you've tried to straighten out a mess like that. Any of them books were the worst mixed things I ever seen. Far, huh?

Yeah, after this, I think you better just let me make all of you. I wish you would, Lorne. I never did see no sense to keeping them books, no way. No sense to it. No, sir.

These books are just the foundation of our whole business structure, that's all. These books is what tells us where we're at. Well, I know where I'm at, looking at no book. I mean, where we're at, financial.

We're at an underhead expense. Well, we ain't going to have no overhead this year, Lorne. We put it to do with it. Well, we won't have no expense up there overhead. Overhead expense means salaries and what it costs us to do business and fit you that.
