It's a Wonderful Life

It's a Wonderful Life

You said that they— what’d you say just a minute ago? That they had to wait and save their money before they even thought of a decent home? Wait? Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them, until they’re so old and broken down that they— Do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars? Just remember this, Mr Potter: that this “rabble” you’re talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn’t think so; people were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they’re cattle. Well, in my book, he died a much richer man than you’ll ever be. 

I’m not interested in your book. I’m talking about the Building and Loan.

I know very well what you’re talking about. You’re talking about something you can’t get your fingers on, and it’s galling you. That’s what you’re talking about, I know.
