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.

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 pay- ments, 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!
