Maybe the world is blind or just a little unkind.

Don't know.

Seems you can't be sure of anything anymore.

Although you...

Okay. My hands are frozen.

I may have to go through life like this.

I thought you had a hair warmer. I'm using it as a bun warmer.

I'm so tired.

Last time I was this tired.

What am I saying? I've never been this tired.

Okay, Brandon. You've got snow on your back. Shake.

Stop fooling around, Brandon. You know what kind of shake I mean.

Good. Let's take off our boot.

How

many

driveways have we shoveled?

Seventy -five.

This city should hire us a snowplow.

Let's see.

Seventy -five driveways at two dollars a piece.

my face in that market again.

That's a break for the store. One look from you and the letters wilts.

You ought to be in the Cheapskate Hall of Fame.

Just because I compare prices?

You're not supposed to compare them to 1936.

You'll pay the other half.

That's the deal, right, Henry?

My ice cream's melting.

Henry, your ice cream is as hard as your head.

You're just too cheap to live up to the deal you made with those girls.

That's unfair.

The only reason I made the deal is because I never thought they'd pull it

Well, they did.

They set a goal and reached it. I'm real proud of them.

Want to be more proud?

Pay for both of them.

Henry. Relax.

I think I'm kidding.

I'll dig into my wallet and give Punky her money.

Well, good.

Maybe there's hope for you yet.

Where's that?

Forgot to turn off the alarm.

Boy, my keys are lousy.

where you ran me over?

It would be either you or that little old lady on a stretcher.

Boy, I sure could use some new equipment.

She's got enough skits out for the centipede.

Welcome to the East Wing.

Margot, you need more signs along the way.

It's hard to follow this map.

Do you really think it's necessary to have metal detectors at the entrance?

Your purses will be returned to you when you leave.

What a great room this is.

Oh, that's right. You've never been here before, have you?

How come?

You've never invited us.

We should live like this.

We were born for caviar and champagne.

No. We were born for Doritos and chocolate milk.

Hey, check out these dolls.

You don't see these in Toys R Us.

Of course not. These are handmade by my personal doll makers, Teddy and Stan.

This one is my absolute favorite.

Whenever I get depressed, she always hears me.

or you want to discuss?

See, Cherry and I were getting ready for the school ski trip. Me too.

It took me all morning to find a limo with snow tires.

We were wondering if we could borrow some skis from you.

Oh.

Well, I suppose you may.

Forgive me for prying, but how is it that you can afford the ski trip?

We earn the money by shoveling 75 driveways.

You worked with your hands and back and shoulders and arms. Please stop.

I just ate.

You may borrow the blue ones and the fuchsia ones.

Great.

Thanks. Oh, be careful. Those are brand new.

But I thought you bought them last year.

Oh, well, yes.

But I didn't actually use them.

You see, the problem with skiing is that you get chapped lips.

So I just sit in front of the lodge fire wearing this.

Excuse me, miss, but you have two rather persistent visitors who refuse to...

All right, Jeffrey.

Very well, miss. I shall be in the kitchen if you need me.

Now, let's see.

You turn left at the library and right at the racket. Always

get lost at the racket.

Are you okay?

So why are you crying?

We've lost all our money.

What?

Punky, we're broke.

You're broke?

Like you have no more money?

Henry says your dad's so rich, when he got married, they didn't throw rice.

threw Chinese people.

Old history.

How could this happen?

Daddy's accountant boo -booed. Bad investments, high interest rates,

commodities.

Gosh, that's awful.

It's Mommy.

She's been making that dreadful noise ever since we went belly up.

Margo, I think you're being robbed.

Two fat guys just stole your bench.

No, everything's being sold at auction.

We need the cash.

Margo, I never thought I'd hear you say those words.

ever thought I'd get to poverty was when I visited you.

Mommy's getting closer.

Hunky, Sherry, I want you to know it's been really nice knowing

you.

You're leaving town?

way we can still be friends.

Why not?

I'm broke.

So?

Oh, grow up, you two.

We all know you like me just because I had money.

That's not true.

Okay, then why do you like me?

Well, we're thinking.

Margo, we like you because we just do, that's all.

Yeah, we're your friends, and we'll stay your friends, no matter what.

None of my parents' friends seem to feel that way.

Mommy's already been uninvited to four parties, and the cook insists on being

paid before each meal.

Marco, we're not that way.

We like you just for yourself.

Honest.

Take my doll?

I'm sorry, miss. Your mother gave orders that everything has to go.

Be... Be careful with it.

Sure.

Margo.

Just leave me alone.

Gas, $12 .97.

Electricity, 154 .68.

Pet cop, 72 bucks.

You bought Calvin Klein flea powder?

Well, it does smell quite nice. May I borrow some?

Hi, Henry. You still working on the bills?

Oh, yes.

We've overextended again this month. We've got to start economizing.

After all, money doesn't grow on trees.

We could save quite a bit if we just tighten our belts and cut a few corners.

I think this is serious.

When I was your age, children knew the value of a dollar.

Something on your mind?

Yeah, but I don't want to talk about it. Okay.

It's Margot.

I feel so sorry for her.

She's been a mess ever since she found out she got bankrupt.

Yes.

Bankruptcy is frightening.

Of course, you learn to adjust when you live as close to it as I do.

Margot thinks Cherry and I only like her because of her money.

That's not true, is it?

Of course not.

I'm curious.

Why do you like Margot?

It's me.

I just do.

Then tell her that.

In time, she'll come around.

I did tell her.

I just wish there was a way I could show her.

Bunky, I think you've agonized enough over this. Let's turn to a happier

subject, your speed trip.

You've worked very hard for this.

And you deserve to have a good time.

Thanks.

Try to hold down the enthusiasm.

Sorry.

Maybe I'll be a little more excited tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night, sweetheart.

This can't be right.

One dozen roses, $55 delivered to Lady?

I don't know anybody named Lady.

Come to say goodbye, miss.

Gilda, Jeffrey, thank you for all your years of devoted service.

Our pleasure, miss.

I've made some lunch for you, miss.

It's in the oven.

Thank you, Gilda.

The oven?

That's the appliance with the little window on the front, right?

just won't be the same without you, miss.

Thank you.

Wait a minute. You're staying?

Yes, miss.

Are you going to work for the new owner?

Oh, no, miss. I am the new owner.

Jeffrey! I never realized Daddy paid you so well.

He didn't. But unlike your father, I bought stocks that went up.

I see.

Goodbye, miss. The best. of luck to you.

And may I add, Miss, escrow closes in seven days.

Everything's gone.

How'd you get it?

We bought it back for you.

You did?

But where'd you get the money?

Let's just say we postponed our ski trip.

Your ski money?

But you actually worked for that money.

No big deal.

Yes, it is.

That trip meant a lot to you.

And you gave it up for me.

Why'd you do it?

You're our friend.

And you're more important than a ski trip.

You guys, you think if you promise not to mess my hair, maybe we could

hug?

Sure.

Shoveling. A snow.

Little snow.

Tiny snow.

Kneeling snow.

Walking snow.

You guys will never guess it. Stop being so grumpy.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Right.

Okay, Brandon, it's your turn.

Well,

it looks to me like he's doing Henry.

Trying to make ends meet.

Very plain.

Were you shuffling the driveway, Henry? Yes.

I just didn't have the heart to ask you to do it.

Boy, it sure is coming down.

It's a fierce dream out there.

I bet Jack Rabbit Run has at least six inches of powder.

And we're missing it.

scraped together some cash, took a stock tip from Jeffrey, and, well, what can I

say? We're loaded!

Congratulations! That's great!

Anybody want some money?

The best part is, to celebrate, Daddy's taking me to Big Grizzly for the

weekend! Big Grizzly?

You're going skiing.
