Martin. Oh, I guess it won’t take all the money I’ve got. What’s your proposition?
Rodney. What’s yours?
Martin. Well, I’ll give you $50,000 for your business as it stands.
Rodney. But we don’t want to give up our business. I like business.
Peale. (Grandly) We wish to continue in our chosen profession.
Martin. Well, suppose you take 25% of the profits in addition?
Rodney. It’s a wonderful autumn, isn’t it? These crisp cold bracing mornings.
Martin. Well, I hardly thought you’d grab at that. What will you take?
Rodney. (Rising quickly) One hundred thousand dollars cash, you assume all the contracts and obligations of this company, give us 40% of the profits, a contract for me at $20,000 a year; for Miss Grayson at $10,000, (Peale coughs)—and another for Mr. Peale at the same figure.
Martin. Done. (Shakes hands with Rodney)
