Double Entry

Thus spent. Mr. Keenan Win and Mr. Hume Cronin as stars of Double Entry. A suspense play produced, edited and directed by William Speer. Yep. It always balances in the Double Entry system.

If it don't, you hang around and it does. That's what I've been doing all my life, keeping books. Ah, it's fascinating. Positively fascinating. You know, I bet in my day I've written billions of figures.

Hundreds of billions. And cash. Ha ha. Say, I've handled so much cash my fingertips are calloused. Once I even got water on a thumb from licking it to count money. But so what? What's cash?

Behind an ad machine, you can't tell men from mice without a scorecard. So, if a guy gets in a jam, you know, and he gets a chance to do a favor to help a pal out who is in a jam, well, maybe you look on cash a little different.

All of a sudden cash is more than pieces of metal and it's a green paper. It's socially significant. That's what it is. Eddie, how many did they see a couple of you? Yeah. You're also bothering you again, Sam?
