For ten years, Chester A. Riley has worked for the Stevenson Aircraft Corporation in Los Angeles. And now at long last, he is about to be rewarded for his industry and loyalty. For ten long years, Riley has been waiting for this very day.

How much of a bore is he going to get, Pop? Ah, you know, tomorrow it'll be ten years I work for the company. I get $25 for each year of uninterrupted service. So that's 25 times 10 equals her.

I don't even carry four. $250, Pop. 5 and carry 3. 25 times 10 is 250, Dan. And 38 and carry 5. For heaven's sake, Riley, 250. 3, carry 9 plus 38 minus 7 multiplied by 7.

I got it $250. Oh boy. Oh, that's a lot of money. When do you collect? Tamara. Let's get a television. Senn, hop, hop. How about it now? No, no, no, no. No television in this house.

I ain't paying $250 so I can get cock-eyed. No, huh. Well, what this family needs is a car. Oh, but a television station. I don't want it a minute. It took me ten years to get this dough.
