HOW MUCH MONEY DO

                                                                    
I have? That's what I thought

I had

when we

started. That money that you

think you have---I couldn't

find it anywhere. I

want to know where the

money is. He made a

lot of

money once.

Evidently, money is not any

problem. He doesn't need it,

but he

wants to

use it. I spend very

little, and that's what makes

it good for me.

But I've got more than

that. They're all coming due.

What do

we do---

take our money out? Mine

may be going up too.

Then why

don't we

claim it? I was thinking

of buying two, three as

he was talking. I'm

spending the whole thing, because

I really don't do that

much, and

it's well

worth the money. I don't

like her to be so

poor. She

owes her

family a lot of money.

She'll get some--more than

she expected.

Give her

some.

I don't know how

much it's gonna cost me.

How much

is it

worth?
