Action.

Oh, hi, how are you? Oh, hi, Rudy.

Hey, I'm not doing too bad, except I'm a little short on cash.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, you could borrow me $10? Well, I don't know if I can lend you that much.

Oh, come on, Rudy.

I've got nobody like me in the trucking force.

I think I've only got about three bucks on me.

Well, hey, I need 10 or, you know, that's it.

10 at least.

Hey, Rudy, go watch the show.

Hey, Rudy, I'm going to get you a drink.

Hey, why don't you shut up, huh? All right, I'll go watch the show.

Hey, shut up.

Hey, Rudy, I forgot your drink.

Hey, how'd you like to mess with your face, huh? Hey, why don't you leave my buddy alone? I've known him for 10 years.

Get out of here.

Shut up.

I'll come out, please.

Cut.

Okay.

Well, I've only got three dollars.

I don't know if I can afford it.

I want to go to some nightclubs.

I've got a check, though.

Yeah, I'll get a check.

Can I reach out for how much? Oh, I'm sorry.

How much can you afford? Oh, come on.

I'll get him.

Action.

Well, I've only got three dollars.

My grandfather, Hamilton, hasn't written me any checks yet, but I can reach out a check.

How much would you like? Maybe $10, $15, $20.

I need this money to go watch girls at Jim's Bar here.

Is it all right if I do that? Just write you a check? Action.

Well, I'm getting pretty ticked off about this.

You're having all these problems, and you ought to know that he's going to see a psychiatrist and he's seeing a priest.

Don't you listen to those people? Don't you listen to what they tell you when the priest tells you what to do and the psychiatrist and I'm your buddy and I'm trying to tell you what to do and you're still doing these dumb, stupid things.

You're giving that money away.

What's wrong with you anyway? Why don't you grow up? Action.

Hey, Rudy, you think you can borrow me $10? I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm kind of short on luck today.

I want to go to a little pool and drink a little beer, and I want to take out Caterpillar tonight.

I just can't do it without any money.

You think you can borrow it to me? You know, it's nothing out of your pocket anyway.

It's just out of your grandpa's, so you know it ain't going to matter to you.

What do you think? You think you can borrow me a little money today? What do you think? Say yes? Maybe? No? Come on, come on, Rudy, come on.
