• Father : You're going to every house where you sold a bottle of that concoction and buy it all back.

  John Day : But it's a dollar a bottle.

  Father : I don't care how much it is. Here, I'll give you the money now. How many bottles did you sell?

  John Day : A hundred and twenty-eight.

  Father : A hundred and twenty-eight!

  Vinnie : Clare, I always told you John would make a good businessman.

  Father : Young man, you'll have to come down to my office with me. I'll give you the money to buy back that medicine. $128, and $10 more for Mrs. Sprague's dog, that's $138. But it's all coming out of your allowance. That means you'll not get another penny until the whole $138 is paid up.

  John Day : [does math on his fingers]  I'll be twenty-one years old!
