The Bank–a Vignette Set in the Near Past
-Jesus Christ, Charlie! We’re giving a million dollar
mortgage to a short-order cook!
-Hey, whatta we know? Maybe Aunt Tillie and Uncle Mark are helping out. Besides, we’ll peddle it to sharpies who’ll slice all these bastards up and sell ‘em to dense Indonesians.
-Uh huh? And what’ll we do when the shit eventually
hits the fan?
-Well in my case, I had no idea what my mortgage officers were up to!
-In the meantime?
-I’m taking Sweetie to The Lion King, and that new French Restaurant with real Frog waiters, who I’ll tip so generously they’ll be happy they left their stupid socialism.
-Sounds like a good time.
-If it is, I repeat next week with the wife.
