Mother's Day is about to be celebrated in the Riley household And if you love Riley as we do, you'll hope that what happened last year doesn't happen again. It started like this. Well, I gotta go, Peg, see it tonight.
Oh, just a minute, dear. Give a peg. I'll be late. I... Today's payday, isn't it? Well, sure. What brought this on? What are you afraid of? Six o'clock, I grabbed it from the cashier. Seven o'clock, you grabbed it from me.
What can I do with it an hour? Are you afraid I'll spend it? Oh, look, dear. I wasn't born yesterday. I know what goes on at that planet. You're on payday. There's at least a dozen dice and poker games all going on at the same time.
You mean this gambling? Oh no, you must be mistaken, there couldn't be gambling? Oh no, not with this city's police force on the job, no. Are you kidding? On payday, that parking lot of the plant looks like Las Vegas.
Well now you're exaggerating me. Well fine, you just see too. But you bring me home your pay tonight, every cent. And so help me Riley if I ever catch you gambling. Don't worry, you won't catch me.
I said I'll never gamble again. I promise. And I'll give you a total one on that. I get us way to go home. Oh yeah, yeah, in a little while. Let's go over to the parking lot face and see if we can get a little action.
