A Civil Action - Unexpected Gifts and Financial Hopes
James: [''seeing Uncle Pete for another loan after Schlichtman's firm is in serious financial trouble'']
You'll never guess what I did last night. You'll like this. I pledged $200.00 to a tele-evangelist. I'm not kidding. He said, "Give and ye shall receive." I called him right up. I know, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Gordon's losing it. He's falling apart. He's probably buying lottery tickets." I bought a few, I'll admit it. I know. But seriously, the jackpot's $45 million. That's just this week. You should see the lines out there.
Uncle Pete: [''nods to a bugle in Gordon's pocket'']
Is that a gun?
James:
What? This? No. No, this is for you.
James:
My Krugerrands. I've had them forever. I want you to have them. And... this is the deed to my house. And here is Conway's and Crowley's and Jan's. See? I come bearing gifts. We really need the money.
