life in the fast lane

welcome to 1st National Bank. may I help you?
yes, I need a loan.
ok. how much of a loan?
oh, say $10,000.
ok. and how would you like to secure that loan?
what do you mean, 'secure'?
well, what sort of collateral do you have?
collateral? well, I've got my dog, eugene.
your dog? how much is your dog worth?
he's worth the world to me, know what I mean?
yes, of course. but what would he be worth, to the bank?
well, he's a damn good hunting dog. and he's very smart, and can play the piano.
oh can he? well! can he play rachmaninoff?
like a champ. knows that stuff like the back of his paw.
well then. just sign here, and we have a deal.
sure. well, actually, eugene will have to sign for me.
oh?
yeah, he's much better at financial stuff than me.
surely. I'll just go get your cash, ok?
you betcha. eugene's gonna be very happy.
is he?
this is for his new car, you see.
well, isn't that nice.
yes. he likes fast cars. so do I.
I don't doubt it.
