• Harriette Winslow : Frank, what *did* happen with the checks?

  Frank Winslow : I had a job managing a restaurant, for a while, everything was great, but then the restaurant went bankrupt and I was out of a job.

  Carl Winslow : Ah, there, you see? Out of a job, passing bad checks.

  Frank Winslow : My paycheck bounced! The personal checks I wrote, I thought were good when I wrote them.

  Harriette Winslow : Carl, it happens, we know people that that's happened to.

  Carl Winslow : Well what about now? Are you at least looking for a job?

  Frank Winslow : I'm a clown.

  Carl Winslow : A clown?

  Harriette Winslow : [nods]  You should see him in his clown makeup, he's so cute.

  Frank Winslow : I'm working with a traveling carnival. Don't laugh... well actually, you're supposed to laugh, but it's steady work and I'm making good money.

  Carl Winslow : [pause]  Frank... I'm not going to arrest you.

  Frank Winslow : Why not?

  Carl Winslow : Cuz I'm gonna give you the money to pay off the debt.

  Frank Winslow : [in awe]  I can't ask you to do that.

  Carl Winslow : I know, but we're brothers, we've got to stick together.
