Quote context

[...]

- We want you back here with us, Al.

- Well, that's very nice of you, Mr. Milton, but, uh I noticed, uh, Steese sitting at my old desk. I wouldn't wanna push him out.

- Steese will stay right there. You're moving up.

- What would you say to being vice president in charge of small loans at a salary of $12000 a year? What would you say to that, huh?

- I'd say it can't be true.

- Job's there, Al. You're the man for it.

- What makes you think I am, Mr. Milton?

- Well, your war experience would prove invaluable to us here. See, we have many new problems. This GI Bill of Rights, for instance. It involves us in consideration of all kinds of loans to ex-servicemen.

- We need a man who understands the soldiers' problems and at the same time who's well-grounded in the fundamental principles of sound banking. In other words, you.

- Well? What do you say, Al?

- Well... I'm overwhelmed.

- Of course. Of course.

- Will you bring them in now please, Mrs. Garrett?

- Yes, sir.

- I'd thought of taking it easy for a while.

- Naturally, my boy. After what you've been through, you need a vacation. Thank you. Thank you.

- You're entitled to enjoy life for a change before you come back to work.

- Very kind of you to say that, Mr. Milton.

- While you're resting, let's just... When you get a chance. This contains reports with all the figures on our small loans department. It'll give you the whole picture. You can look them over. Just in your spare time, of course.

- Oh, briefcase is a slight gift from the bank, heh.

- Well, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Milton.
