HERE WE GO! COME ON, BABY!

6.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

OH, NO. ALL RIGHT!

YOU OWE ME $2,000 RENT, TURKEY.

HA HA!

THANKS A LOT, SCROOGE.

WELL, THAT WIPES ME OUT.

GIVE ME A BOTTLE OF RIPPLE, AND I'M READY FOR SKID ROW.

THAT MAKES TWO OF US, ARNOLD.

I'LL SEE YOU IN THE FLOP HOUSE.

GEE, WILLIS, YOU SURE ARE LUCKY AT MONOPOLY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN LUCKY?

WHEELIN' AND DEALIN' JUST COMES NATURAL TO ME.

SO DOES KISSING YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR.

HI, KIDS!

OH, IT IS FREEZING OUT THERE!

YOU KNOW, IT'S STARTING TO SNOW.

FOR A MINUTE THERE, I THOUGHT YOU HAD

A BAD CASE OF DANDRUFF.

ARNOLD, I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO HAVE HAIR

TO HAVE DANDRUFF?

WHO'S WINNING?

WILLIS CREAMED US AGAIN.

HEY, WHAT CAN I SAY? EVEN WHEN I WAS A BABY,

I WAS A HIGH ROLLER IN MY LITTLE STROLLER.

I GUESS YOU'RE JUST A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.

YEAH, EXCEPT THE BLOCK IS WHITE AND THE CHIP IS BLACK.

YOU KNOW, DAD, I MADE A FORTUNE,

BUT I COULD HAVE MADE MORE MONEY

IF I OWNED CONDOMINIUMS INSTEAD OF HOUSES.

THAT IS RIGHT, WILLIS.

IS THAT WHERE THE BIG BREAD IS?

NOT JUST THE BREAD, THE WHOLE BAKERY.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, OUR COMPANY IS JUST STARTING NOW

TO TEAR DOWN AN OLD APARTMENT HOUSE,

AND WE'RE GONNA PUT UP SOME BEAUTIFUL NEW CONDOMINIUMS,

WHICH THE CITY NEEDS VERY BADLY.

OH, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, DAD.

THE CITY OUGHT TO GIVE YOU A MEDAL.

OH, LET'S NOT GO OVERBOARD. A SMALL PARADE WOULD DO.

DAD, MONEY WILL NEVER CHANGE YOU.

YOU'LL NEVER GET ANY FUNNIER.

HA HA HA!

BUT HE'LL GET RICHER FROM ALL THOSE CONDOS HE'S PUTTING UP.

TERRIFIC! DAD, YOU MAKE IT,

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO SPEND IT.

HEY, WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO SEE A SKETCH

OF WHAT THE NEW 36-STORY BUILDING'S GONNA LOOK LIKE?

YEAH. SURE, DAD.

GOOD, BECAUSE I WAS GONNA SHOW IT TO YOU ANYWAY.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

OK.

HEY, YOU GUYS WANT TO PLAY ANOTHER GAME OF MONOPOLY?

ON ONE CONDITION. WHAT'S THAT?

THAT YOU GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL

AND STAY THERE.

I'LL GET IT.

OH, HELLO.

IS THIS THE PHILIP DRUMMOND RESIDENCE?

YES, IT IS.

WELL, MY NAME IS MRS. MARTINSON,

AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT I SPEAK TO MR. DRUMMOND.

IS HE HOME?

SURE, COME ON IN.

OH, THANK YOU. IT'S FREEZING OUTSIDE.

HI. I'M HIS DAUGHTER KIMBERLY,

AND THESE ARE MY BROTHERS, WILLIS AND ARNOLD.

OH.

WHY NOT?

SO, THIS IS WHERE THE BIG FINANCIAL WIZARD LIVES.

I GUESS SHE'S HEARD ABOUT ME.

JUST AS I EXPECTED, WALL TO WALL RICH.

YOU COULD HOLD A WAR IN THIS PLACE.

DON'T THINK WE HAVEN'T.

MRS. MARTINSON, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT

AND I'LL GO GET MY FATHER.

YES, TELL THE EXECUTIONER HE HAS COMPANY.

THE EXECUTIONER?

THAT'S WHAT WE CALL HIM.

WHO'S WE?

THE TENANTS HE THREW OUT INTO THE STREET.

NEW YORK'S ANSWER TO THE BOAT PEOPLE.

DAD WOULD NEVER DO A MEAN THING LIKE THAT.

OUR DAD NEVER GETS MEAN,

EXCEPT WHEN I POLISH MY SHOES WITH HIS ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH.

OH, YOU'RE ADORABLE.

MRS. MARTINSON, THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE ABOUT MY FATHER.

NO, DEAR, THERE'S NO MISTAKE.

YOUR FATHER IS TEARING DOWN OUR BUILDING,

AND I GOT THROWN OUT.

INSTEAD OF AN APARTMENT WITH A VIEW OF THE STREET,

I'VE GOT A STREET

WITH A VIEW OF THE APARTMENT.

OH, I SEE WE HAVE COMPANY.

AH, YES. DAD, THIS IS MRS. MARTINSON.

SHE'S USED TO LIVE IN THAT APARTMENT BUILDING

YOU'RE TEARING DOWN.

OH, VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

I GUESS YOU WANT FIRST CRACK

AT ONE OF THOSE NEW CONDOMINIUMS?

NO, I WANT FIRST CRACK AT YOUR HEAD.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

SHE SAYS SHE'S GOT NO PLACE TO LIVE

BECAUSE YOU GAVE HER THE OL' HEAVE-HO.

DAD, YOU WOULDN'T HEAVE HER HO, WOULD YOU?

WELL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

WE DIDN'T THROW ANYBODY OUT. AND AS I'M SURE YOU KNOW,

WE OFFERED EVERY TENANT FIRST CHOICE

IF THEY WANT TO BUY ONE OF THE NEW CONDOMINIUMS.

WHAT ARE YOU, A COMEDIAN?

WHERE WOULD I GET $200,000?

$200,000?

AND UP. WITH UP, YOU GET A BATHROOM.

NOW, MRS. MARTINSON, I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE

THAT IN MANHATTAN TODAY

THAT REPRESENTS A VERY FAIR PRICE.

SURE.

OUR DAD'S NOT IN BUSINESS TO LOSE MONEY, YOU KNOW.

OH, LISTEN TO HIM,

SON OF EXECUTIONER.

GEE, DAD, ISN'T THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP?

YEAH, COME ON, DAD.

YOU'RE TAKING ALL THE FUN OUT OF BEING RICH.

MRS. MARTINSON, I UNDERSTAND YOUR SITUATION, I REALLY DO,

BUT OUR COMPANY'S DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN DO.

OH, SURE YOU HAVE.

NO, NO, NO, IT'S TRUE.

WE EVEN HIRED A RENTAL AGENT

TO HELP YOU TENANTS GET RELOCATED.

SHE ONLY FOUND ONE APARTMENT THAT I COULD AFFORD.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE IT?

'CAUSE SHE TOOK IT HERSELF.

HOW COME IT'S SO HARD TO FIND AN APARTMENT?

BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOUR FATHER

ARE NOT BUILDING RENTALS ANYMORE,

JUST CONDOMINIUMS,

SO THEY CAN MAKE A FAST BUCK.

NOW, THAT'S NOT TRUE.

OH, YEAH? THE LAST THING THEY PUT UP IN THIS TOWN

THAT WASN'T A CONDO WAS GRANT'S TOMB.

AND THAT'S ALREADY OCCUPIED.

GEE, IT MUST REALLY BE TOUGH FOR YOU.

I EVEN CONSIDERED MOVING TO A LESS EXPENSIVE CITY,

BUT I'VE LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE.

AND I LIKE IT HERE.

LOOK, SUPPOSE I COULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF A CONDO FOR YOU.

WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH THE DOWN PAYMENT?

HOW MUCH? USUALLY $25,000.

BUT I COULD MAKE IT LESS FOR YOU.

GOOD! HOW ABOUT $25?

YOU'LL GET THE REST IN MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR THE NEXT 3,000 YEARS.

I'M CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING.

HOW COME YOU'RE THE ONLY TENANT I'VE HEARD FROM?

I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT WHO HASN'T FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE.

YOU'RE NOT LIVING ANYPLACE?

I'M STAYING IN A CRUMMY MOTEL.

WHO CAN SLEEP WITH ALL THAT HANKY-PANKY YOU HEAR THROUGH THE WALL?

I'M VERY SYMPATHETIC TO YOUR PROBLEM,

BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO KNOW

HOW YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU, MADAM?

MADAM? IF I WERE A MADAM,

I COULD AFFORD 2 CONDOMINIUMS.

OH, I'M VERY SORRY, CHILDREN.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO USE THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE

IN FRONT OF YOU.

THAT'S OK. WE'VE HEARD WORSE WORDS THAN THAT.

YEAH, WE HAVE CABLE TELEVISION.

NOW, MRS. MARTINSON,

HOW ABOUT YOUR RELOCATION ALLOWANCE?

WE GAVE EVERY TENANT A GENEROUS AMOUNT OF MONEY

TO HELP THEM MOVE.

I USED UP ALL THE ALLOWANCE.

THIS ISN'T THE GOOD OL' DAYS

WHEN A DOLLAR WAS WORTH 50 CENTS.

WELL, I WISH I COULD HELP YOU,

BUT I'M AFRAID I'M NOT A REAL ESTATE AGENT.

SO, I'D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU'D LEAVE NOW.

WOULD YOU MIND DOING THAT, PLEASE?

"PLEASE," HE SAYS.

ATTILA THE HUN WITH MANNERS.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL GO.

WILL YOU GUYS STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?

I AM STILL THE SAME FATHER YOU WERE CRAZY ABOUT

CHRISTMAS MORNING, YOU KNOW.

LOOK, DAD, I KNOW YOU CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY,

BUT I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR HER.

YEAH. ME, TOO, DADDY.

SHE SEEMS SO DESPERATE.

DAD, IF YOU HAVE TO KNOCK DOWN A BUILDING,

WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE HERS ALONE

AND KNOCK DOWN MY SCHOOL?

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

I'M MOVING IN.

WHAT?! YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

OH, YES, I CAN.

I'VE GOT NO MORE MONEY,

AND UNTIL YOU FIND ME A PLACE TO LIVE,

I AM STAYING RIGHT HERE.

AS LONG AS I NEED A ROOF OVER MY HEAD,

IT JUST MAY AS WELL BE ONE WITH A CHANDELIER.

WELL, THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS.

KIDS, YOU CAN START CALLING ME AUNT BERNICE.

HI, AUNT BERNICE.

DON'T CALL THIS WEIRD WOMAN YOUR AUNT!

YOUR AUNT'S A DIFFERENT WEIRD WOMAN.

AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO TAKE IN A TENANT.

OH, DON'T WORRY, MR. DRUMMOND.

I WON'T STEAL YOUR TOWELS.

AND I DON'T SNORE,

AND I DON'T WALK IN MY SLEEP.

THAT'S GOOD, DAD, BECAUSE I WON'T BUMP INTO HER

WHEN I'M RUNNING TO THE BATHROOM.

I CAN'T TAKE IN EVERY STRANGER THAT COMES TO THE DOOR.

BUT YOU TOOK ME AND ARNOLD IN,

AND WE WERE STRANGERS.

WE WERE EVEN STRANGER THAN THIS LADY.

AW, DAD, SHE HAS NO PLACE TO GO,

AND YOU SAID IT IS FREEZING OUT THERE.

WELL, I'D REALLY LIKE TO HELP YOU, MRS. MARTINSON.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL FOOT THE BILL FOR YOUR MOTEL FOR...

OH, NO, NO WAY. NO MORE MOTELS.

I WANT A HOME.

EVEN IF IT IS ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT.

COME ON, LET HER STAY JUST TONIGHT, DAD.

PLEASE, DAD?

FOR US, DADDY?

GIVE ME A BREAK, DADDY.

WELL, ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN STAY TONIGHT,

BUT YOU GOTTA LEAVE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND NO FUSS.

NOW DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF WOMAN

WHO WOULD MAKE A FUSS?

JUST STOPPED BY TO SAY GOOD NIGHT, KIDS.

GOOD NIGHT, DAD. GOOD NIGHT, DAD.

GOOD NIGHT, DAD.

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY. WHAT IS THE MATTER HERE?

WELL, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT MRS. MARTINSON.

WE REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR HER, DADDY.

DAD, IF BEING IN YOUR BUSINESS MEANS

KICKING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES,

I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO TAKE IT OVER SOME DAY.

WILLIS, YOU'RE OVERREACTING TO THIS THING.

YEAH, BUT MAKING MONEY IN MONOPOLY IS ONE THING,

BUT IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN REAL PEOPLE

DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THE RENT.

YEAH, DAD.

SHE'S LIABLE TO WIND UP ON THE STREET LIKE A BUM...

BEGGING FOR FOOD,

LOOKING FOR CIGAR BUTTS,

AND STUFFING NEWSPAPERS DOWN HER GIRDLE TO KEEP WARM.

STOP EXAGGERATING.

LISTEN, I'M SORRY, TOO.

DIDN'T I AGREE TO LET HER STAY OVERNIGHT?

LET'S LOOK AT THE PRACTICAL SIDE.

WE'RE GONNA PUT UP A BUILDING

THAT WILL GIVE 10 TIMES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE A PLACE TO LIVE.

LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.

WE ARE, DAD. WE JUST DON'T SEE MRS. MARTINSON IN IT.

WE DON'T KNOW THIS WOMAN.

FOR ALL I KNOW, SHE'S JUST STEPHANIE TROUBLEMAKER,

MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE ECCENTRIC.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS HER MARBLE BAG IS FULL OF IOUs.

AFTER TONIGHT,

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THAT POOR, HELPLESS WOMAN?

EVERYTHING IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN, DOREEN.

YEAH.

STAND BY FOR THE FIREWORKS TOMORROW.

I'M REALLY GONNA SOCK IT TO HIM.

GEE, I WONDER HOW LATE SHE'LL SLEEP?

WHY DON'T YOU ASK HER?

MORNING, AUNT BERNICE.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

WE DIDN'T MEAN TO WAKE YOU UP.

OH, YOU DIDN'T WAKE ME.

I WAS JUST LYING HERE THINKING.

YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK PRETTY GOOD IN THE MORNING.

THANK YOU.

FOR A WOMAN YOUR AGE.

I SPOKE TOO SOON.

WAIT'LL YOU SEE DAD.

IN THE MORNING, HE LOOKS LIKE A WHITE PRUNE.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BREAKFAST?

OH, NO, THANK YOU, KIMBERLY.

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY OF YOUR FATHER'S FOOD.

THAT'S VERY SWEET, BUT I BROUGHT MY OWN.

7-GRAIN CEREAL, A BOWL, AND BRAN.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

Arnold: MORNING, DAD.

GOOD MORNING, DADDY.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

ABOUT WHAT?

THE WAY YOU LOOK IN THE MORNING.

THE WHITE PRUNE.

I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE FACES THAT DOESN'T SETTLE TILL NOON.

I WANT TO MAKE SOME POWDERED MILK.

UH, WHAT DO YOU CHARGE FOR WATER?

MRS. MARTINSON, YOU'RE REALLY MORE THAN WELCOME

TO EAT BREAKFAST WITH US.

YES, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE TIPPING.

NO, THANKS. MAYBE TOMORROW.

WHAT?

TOMORROW?

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

LAST NIGHT, YOU SAID YOU'D BE LEAVING TODAY.

WELL, LAST NIGHT, I WAS HOMELESS AND DESPERATE.

THIS MORNING, I HAVE A LOVELY COUCH ON PARK AVENUE.

OH, NO, YOU DON'T!

NOW, YOU PROMISED THAT IF I LET YOU STAY OVERNIGHT,

YOU'D LEAVE FIRST THING THIS MORNING.

NOW YOU'VE GONE BACK ON YOUR WORD.

I WANT YOU OUT OF HERE AND RIGHT NOW!

OH, BOY, YOU'RE ALL HEART, AREN'T YOU?

NEXT THING, YOU'LL BE CALLING THE POLICE.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?

WHY DON'T YOU? GO AHEAD!

CALL THE POLICE! DIAL IT!

IT'S 9-1-1.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S JUST WHAT I'LL DO.

YOU DON'T THINK I'LL DO IT, DO YOU?

Willis: DAD, DON'T CALL THE POLICE!

DAD! THE POLICE? COME ON!

BUT...

I'M PICKING UP THE PHONE.

I'M DIALING.

HELLO, OPERATOR, GET ME THE POLICE, PLEASE.

THEY'LL BE ANSWERING IN A SECOND,

AND THEY'LL COME AND TAKE YOU TO JAIL.

WELL, AT LEAST THERE, I CAN AFFORD THE RENT.

I THINK HE MEANS IT, MRS. MARTINSON.

YEAH, YOU DON'T WANT TO GET BUSTED.

ALL RIGHT. YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE.

HELLO? IS THIS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT?

WELL...

I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

NO GUTS, HUH?

ALL RIGHT, I WILL CALL THE POLICE MYSELF.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

YOU'LL FIND OUT.

LET ME SPEAK TO DOREEN.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE CALLING THE POLICE.

WHO'S DOREEN?

YOU'LL FIND OUT.

DOREEN, I'M AT THE EXECUTIONER'S HOUSE.

CALL THE POLICE AND ACTIVATE PLAN "B."

WHAT'S PLAN "B"?

YOU'LL FIND OUT.

HOLD IT!

HOLD IT! HOLD IT!

ONE AT A TIME.

LADY, WILL YOU PLEASE LET GO OF THE BANNISTER?

NO, I'M NOT MOVING.

SEE, LOOK, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.

YOU CALLED THE POLICE YOURSELF.

NOW WHY DO YOU FIGHT THEM?

'CAUSE I'M NOT MOVING.

LADY, BE REASONABLE.

YOU CAN'T WALK INTO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE

AND DECIDE TO LIVE THERE.

WHY NOT? I'M NOT ARMED.

I'M NOT DANGEROUS.

YES YOU ARE.

YOUR MOUTH IS A LETHAL WEAPON.

HE THREW ME OUT IN THE STREET.

I DID NOT.

HE DIDN'T. HE JUST WANTED TO KNOCK HER BUILDING DOWN.

OKAY, LADY. COME WITH US.

I CAN'T. NOT FOR A FEW MINUTES.

WHY NOT NOW?

YOU'LL FIND OUT.

SHE SAYS THAT A LOT.

SHE CERTAINLY DOES.

I THINK HER NEEDLE'S STUCK.

COME ON, LADY.

PLEASE LET GO OF THE BANNISTER.

UH-HUH! POLICE BRUTALITY, HUH?!

GO AHEAD! GO AHEAD! SUBDUE ME WITH A CHOKE HOLD!

LADY! LADY, I HARDLY TOUCHED YOU.

YOU SEE HOW UNREASONABLE SHE IS?

NO, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO TO ME,

BUT I AM NOT BUDGING.

NOW I'M BUDGING.

THAT'S GOT TO BE PLAN "B."

WHAT'S PLAN "B"?

YOU'LL FIND OUT!

IF YOU DON'T MIND!

THIS IS STILL MY HOUSE...

OR AT LEAST IT WAS TILL YOU SHOWED UP.

ARE YOU MR. DRUMMOND?

YES. AREN'T YOU THE GUY THAT DOES TELEVISION INTERVIEWS? TOM WALLACE.

THAT'S HOW I SIGN MY ALIMONY CHECKS.

THAT'S HIM!

THAT'S THE GUY THAT ALWAYS SMILES WHILE HE INSULTS YOU!

I SEE I HAVE ANOTHER FAN.

TOM! TOM, I'M BERNICE MARTINSON,

AND THAT'S HIM.

YOU MUST BE THE EXECUTIONER.

AND YOU MUST BE MORE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CALL ME.

ARE YOU GONNA DO ONE OF YOUR PENETRATING,

IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH MY DAD?

OH, I GET IT NOW.

YOU'RE TRYING TO SET ME UP.

SURE, YOU WANT THIS WHOLE THING ON TELEVISION.

"POLICE HELP MILLIONAIRE THROW PENNILESS WOMAN INTO STREET."

"WHERE IT'S FREEZING AND SNOWING."

I LIKE THAT. I'LL USE IT.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE A SCAPEGOAT OUT OF ME, WALLACE.

MRS. MARTINSON, I'M AFRAID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW.

AHA! VIOLENCE AGAINST THE ELDERLY!

YOU SEE THAT? GET A SHOT OF THAT, TOM.

ARE YOU GETTING A SHOT OF THIS? GET A SHOT!

ALL RIGHT! LET'S START TAPING!

MRS. MARTINSON, IF YOU'LL COME BACK HERE WITH THE POLICE.

ROLL TAPE.

WAIT A MINUTE! I HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO DO THIS!

LOOK, YOU TAKE YOUR CREW AND YOUR CAMERA

AND YOU GET OUT OF HERE.

MR. DRUMMOND, I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.

TURN THAT THING OFF!

YOU REFUSE TO BE INTERVIEWED?

OH, I KNOW WHAT YOUR INTERVIEWS ARE LIKE.

I'VE SEEN THEM. I'LL END UP LOOKING LIKE A VILLAIN.

WELL, LET ME JUST ASK YOU ONE SIMPLE QUESTION.

YEAH, WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO HIDE?

YOU SEE? YOU'RE DOING IT ALREADY!

TURN THAT THING OFF!

OH, SURE. YOU'RE AFRAID YOU'LL BE EXPOSED.

NO, HE ISN'T. GO AHEAD, DAD.

EXPOSE YOURSELF.

ALL RIGHT, MR. DRUMMOND,

WE'VE ALREADY GOT YOU ON TAPE

REFUSING TO BE INTERVIEWED.

NOW, DO YOU WANT THAT TO GO OUT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION,

OR DO YOU WANT A CHANCE TO TELL YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY, TOO?

OH, BOY.

YOU GOT ME BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT,

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BE FAIR AND OBJECTIVE.

MOI?

NO, I MEAN IT.

IF YOU DON'T PROMISE, I WON'T DO IT.

OK. YOU GOT IT.

Policeman: WELL, I GUESS YOU DON'T NEED US ANYMORE.

MR. MARTINSON, IF YOU'LL COME SIT

AT THIS END OF THE COUCH, PLEASE,

AND, CHILDREN, IF YOU'LL GATHER 'ROUND.

GEE, I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WAS GONNA BE ON TELEVISION.

I WOULD HAVE FIXED MY MAKE-UP.

AND I'D HAVE PUMPED UP MY AFRO.

I WOULD HAVE WORN MY GOOD UNDERWEAR.

COULD WE GET ON WITH THIS, PLEASE?

I NEED A VOICE LEVEL, TOM.

YOU'RE GORGEOUS, YOU'RE SEXY, AND YOU'RE UNDERPAID.

BEAUTIFUL, TOM.

TAPE IS ROLLING.

YOU'RE ON, TOM.

MONDO-CONDO...

THE WORLD OF CONDOMINIUMS.

THIS MORNING WE'RE IN THE HOME OF PHILIP DRUMMOND,

A WEALTHY BUILDING TYCOON,

AS YOU CAN SEE BY THIS LUXURIOUS HOME.

AND THIS IS BERNICE MARTINSON,

A PENNILESS VICTIM WHO WAS EVICTED FROM HER TINY APARTMENT

BY THIS MAN, WHOM SHE CALLS "THE EXECUTIONER."

YOU CALL THAT FAIR AND OBJECTIVE?

OH, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WOULD YOU PREFER "SLUM LORD"?

THAT WAS VERY SNEAKY, MR. WALLACE.

SNEAKY, BUT A GOOD ONE.

NOW, CAN I TELL MY SIDE OF IT, TOM?

I HAVEN'T TOLD MY SIDE YET!

THIS IS BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE FAMILY FEUD.

EXCEPT I DON'T THINK DAD IS GONNA KISS ANYBODY.

ALL RIGHT, MR. DRUMMOND, HOW DO YOU SEE THIS ISSUE?

OK, IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

THIS WOMAN USED TO LIVE IN AN OLD 8-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING.

NOW, WE'RE GONNA TEAR THAT DOWN

AND BUILD A LOVELY, NEW 36-STORY BUILDING.

I SEE. YOU KICKED HER OUT TO MAKE A FAST BUCK.

NOT AT ALL.

THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY NEED HOUSING.

THE NEW BUILDING WILL ACCOMMODATE

10 TIMES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THE OLD BUILDING DID.

AND YOU'RE BUILDING LUXURY CONDOMINIUMS?

YEAH, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BUILD,

LUXURY TENEMENTS?

HOW ABOUT PUTTING UP SOME HOUSING THAT PEOPLE CAN AFFORD?

MR. DRUMMOND, YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE

TO TRY TO LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME TODAY.

MY HUSBAND, REST HIS SOUL,

THOUGHT THAT HIS PENSION WAS GONNA BE ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US,

BUT HE WAS WRONG.

WHEN HE WAS SICK, THE MEDICAL BILLS JUST WIPED US OUT.

OH, WE LIVED IN THAT APARTMENT FOR MANY YEARS,

AND WE WERE... WE WERE SO HAPPY THERE.

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY, MR. DRUMMOND,

AND ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES.

BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T LIVE ON THOSE.

INFLATION IS A KILLER.

I KNOW PEOPLE WHO ARE EATING CAT FOOD.

CAT FOOD, MR. DRUMMOND.

NO, THANK YOU.

SO IT'S THE, UH...

IT'S THE SAME OLD QUESTION.

WHAT'S IT GONNA BE, PEOPLE OR PROFITS?

MRS. MARTINSON, I AM VERY TOUCHED BY WHAT I'VE JUST HEARD.

I GUESS WHEN YOU'RE IN A BUSINESS LIKE MINE,

YOU'RE KIND OF ON A TREADMILL,

TRYING TO KEEP STOCKHOLDERS HAPPY BY SHOWING A PROFIT,

TRYING TO HELP OUT THE COMMUNITY,

SO IT JUST BOILS DOWN TO NUMBERS AND STATISTICS.

YOU HOPE YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING,

BUT IT'S ALL TOO EASY TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT

THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE BEHIND THOSE STATISTICS.

THEN YOU'RE NOT GONNA TEAR DOWN THE BUILDING?

WELL, I'M AFRAID I HAVE TO DO THAT.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, DAD?

WAIT A MINUTE! HOLD IT!

HOLD IT, HOLD IT! NOW, WAIT!

WAIT A MINUTE, PLEASE. LET ME FINISH.

I COULDN'T STOP THIS BUILDING PROJECT NOW EVEN IF I WANTED TO.

EVERYTHING IS IN MOTION,

BUT I'LL PROMISE YOU THIS, MRS. MARTINSON.

YOU WILL HAVE AN APARTMENT

AND WITH MONTHLY PAYMENTS THAT YOU CAN AFFORD.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN LIBYA.

NO, I MEAN ONE OF THE NEW CONDOMINIUMS.

DAD, SHE JUST TOLD YOU SHE CAN'T AFFORD IT.

OH, YES, SHE CAN,

IF I HAVE TO GIVE HER A MORTGAGE FOR 100 YEARS.

AND IF I KNOW YOU,

YOU'LL BE AROUND TO MAKE THE LAST PAYMENT.

OH!

ALL RIGHT, DAD!

IMAGINE... ME, A HOMEOWNER.

OHH.

SHE JUST KISSED THE EXECUTIONER!

YOU'RE WONDERFUL, DADDY.

I'M SO PROUD YOU'RE MY DADDY.

ME, TOO, DAD.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT BUILDING YOU KNOCK DOWN?

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THOSE PEOPLE?

WELL, I WISH I HAD A SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT, WILLIS.

MAYBE WHEN YOU KIDS GROW UP AND TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS,

YOU'LL FIND A SOLUTION TO THAT.

WE'LL TRY, PARTNER.

OK.

WE SURE WILL, PARTNER.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELVES.

I DON'T THINK I WANT ALL THOSE BUSINESS HEADACHES.

I THINK I'LL TAKE MY PENSION EARLY,

LIKE WHEN I'M 12.

OH, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

DID YOU GET IT ALL ON TAPE, TOM?

DID I GET IT ALL ON TAPE?

MRS. MARTINSON, WHEN THAT LITTLE RED LIGHT

ON THE CAMERA GOES ON...

WHY ISN'T THE LITTLE RED LIGHT ON?

OH, NO.

I GOT SO CARRIED AWAY,

AHEM, I FORGOT TO HIT THE SWITCH AGAIN, TOM.

I'M SORRY.

WELL, HOW MUCH DID YOU GET?

UP UNTIL WHERE THE KID SAYS,

"WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, DAD?"

MAN, HE SURE TALKS FUNNY.
