Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
George Bailey:
I'm in trouble, Mr. Potter. I need help. Through some sort of an accident, my company's short in their accounts. The bank examiner got there today. I've got to raise eight thousand dollars immediately.
Mr. Potter:
Oh, that's what the reporters wanted to talk to you about.
George Bailey:
The reporters?
Mr. Potter:
Yes. They called me up from your Building and Loan about an hour ago. Oh, there's a man over there from the D.A.'s office, too. He's looking for you too.
George Bailey:
Please help me, Mr. Potter. Help me, won't you, please? Can't you see what it means to my family? I'll pay any sort of a bonus on the loan, any interest, if you still want the Building and Loan...
Mr. Potter:
George, could it possibly be there's a slight discrepancy in the books?
George Bailey:
No, sir, there's nothing wrong with the books. I've just misplaced eight thousand dollars. I can't find it anywhere.
Mr. Potter:
You misplaced eight thousand dollars?
George Bailey:
Yes, sir.
[Mr. Potter looks at his bodyguard; they both know that George is lying and covering for Uncle Billy]
Mr. Potter:
Have you notified the police?
George Bailey:
No, sir. I didn't want the publicity. Harry's homecoming tomorrow...
[Mr. Potter chuckles]
Mr. Potter:
They're going to believe that one. What've you been doing, George? Playing the market with the company's money?
George Bailey:
No sir. No sir, I haven't.
Mr. Potter:
Is it a woman, then? You know, it's all over town that you've been giving money to Violet Bick.
George Bailey:
What?
Mr. Potter:
Not that it makes any difference to me, but why did you come to me? Why don't you go to Sam Wainwright and ask him for the money?
George Bailey:
I can't get a hold of him. He's in Europe.
Mr. Potter:
Well, what about all your other friends?
George Bailey:
They don't have that kind of money, Mr. Potter. You know that. You're the only one in town that can help me.
[Potter chuckles]
Mr. Potter:
I've suddenly become quite important. All right... if I gave you a loan, what kind of security would I have in return, George? Have you got any stocks? Bonds? Real estate you can use for collateral of any kind?
George Bailey:
Well, I have some life insurance. A $15,000 policy.
Mr. Potter:
Yes. How much equity is in it?
George Bailey:
Five hundred dollars.
Mr. Potter:
Five hundred dollars? And you ask me to lend you eight thousand?
