Elementary ‐ I’m in Debt (B0014) 

A: Hello, I’m here to see Mr. Corleone. 

B: Right this way, sir. 

C: Charlie! What can I do for you? 

B: Mr. Corlone, I’m really sorry to trouble you, but I 

need your help. 

C: Anything for you, Charlie! Your father was like a 

brother to me. 

B: Well, sir, you see, this recession has hit me pretty 

hard; I lost my job and I’m in a lot of debt. 

C: I see. . . . . . 

B: Yeah, you know, I’ve got credit card bills, car payments, I’ve got to pay my mortgage; and on top of all that, I have to pay my son’s college tuition. 

C: So you’re asking for a loan. 

B: Well, I just thought maybe you could help me out. 

C: What? At a time like this? I’m broke too, you know! You’re not the only one who has been hit by the recession! I lost half my money in the stock market crash! Go on! Get outa here!
