Alms? Alms?Penny for the poor?(tinkle tinkle, tinkle tink)
Why hello, destitute young man. There’s a penny for your trouble.
CLINK
A Penny? Is that it?Because the idea is, I ask for a penny to show you I’m hard up so you get the idea and give me some real money.
For What? Gin?
Speculation.
Speculation?
By which I mean futures.
You’re addicted to gambling, then, are you?
I have no intention of gambling on you gambling on the future. I only gave you that penny so you could buy some christmas gin. Give me back my penny!
You can’t do that. That’s my jar, yo!
Wait a sec’. There’s tons of money in here. You’re bloody loaded. What sort of a racket are you running, young man?
