1941-04-xx (xx) Five Dollars For Shopping

Sir, it's early evening as we enter the small house, halfway up in the next block now, and here in the living room we find Mr. and Mrs. Victor Cook of their son, Mr. Rushgood. They can say they're established on opposite sides of the library table, in the former speaking.

Listen. Heh, as long as you're convinced you're a conscious treat, why bother checking back over them? Jasper, fun! You're always jashing me. I can't go shopping with Ruthie and not get my money mixed up.

Well, it's afternoon, I've done it and I'm going to show you what you're pulling up a chair for. As soon as you people get through your conversation, me and Doug are going to play a rally.

Well, don't hurry us. Alright, Vic. This list represents everything Rudy and me bought today. And here is 48 cents. It represents my change. Well, you're not busy. Take your lead pencil, I'm piece of paper and do little arithmetics for mom.

Okay. From $5 to correct 48 cents. I can do that in my head. $5 minus 48 cents. You pay for a lead pencil. I want my results correct. Donor it may take some person's head as sloppy.

Run the risk of making mistakes by the bushel. Use paper and lead pencil. Now Vic hears what we done. Instead of me paying for this thing and Rudy paying for that thing and the both of us paying for the other thing, don't you see?

And getting all confused, don't you see? We fixed it so one person paid for everything and spent one person's money. All right. Four dollars and fifty two cents. Where? Five dollars minus forty eight cents equals four dollars and fifty two cents.
