Johnny Dollar. Johnny, this is Pat McCracken at Universal Adjustment Bureau. Well, how you, Pat? How you doing this bright and sunny afternoon? Pat? Alvin Peabody Cartwright. Oh, no. Oh, yes. He's called you. Yeah, he called. He has a problem. Well, hasn't he always? Big emergency.

That's right.

Which means that you have a problem.

No, no, no, no.

We haven't, Johnny.

You have. Oh, well, now, Pat, let's talk about this, huh? Why, oh, why does the company pass all his frantic, fantastic problems on to us? So that you can pass them on to me?

Yeah?

Sure, so that I can collect all those fancy fees and commissions,

have an excuse to pan out the little old expense account.

Now, Johnny.

After all... that you can pass them on to me? Yeah? Sure, so that I can collect all those fancy fees and commissions,

have an excuse to pan out the little old expense account. Now, Johnny... After all, when you're serving a client as important as he is, why hang the expense? Oh, then you finally admit it. It's only because of the dough you collect that you put up with that wild, wacky old coo. No, no, wait, that isn't true. Oh, it isn't, huh?

Well, I freely admit I've made a lot of money handling his problems over the years.

It's a real sackful.

Yeah?

But more important, I've grown to like Alvin P.

And I feel kind of sorry for him and all the messes he gets himself into.

Uh-huh.

So, if he's having trouble again, if I can give my hand. What the heck with the expense account? Right. Good. That'll save the company a lot of money.

No, no, wait a minute. I didn't mean that. Oh, well, I wish you did. Card rights cost us plenty. More than any other client of any other company we act for. Would you rather he took his insurance somewhere else? Right. Maybe I can arrange it. Oh, no, no, no. Wait a minute, I didn't mean that.

I listen, uh, listen, Johnny.

Okay, I'll listen. somewhere else right maybe i can arrange it oh no no no wait a minute i didn't mean that listen listen uh listen johnny okay i'm listening drive on up to lakewood and see him will you right away he
