The Flyer Rip Off
Lucy: Mr. Whittaker? Mr.. Whittaker!
Whittaker: Good grief! Over here, Lucy. What's the matter?
Lucy: This, that's what.
Whittaker: 'Come on, come all to the Electric Palace'. Is this your flyer?
Lucy: Yes, it is.
Whittaker: Oh, it looks great, Lucy. You should really be happy.
Lucy: Well, I'd be a lotmore happy if I'd been paid for it.
Whittaker: Rodney hasn't paid you?
Lucy: Not a dime¹. But he's still using the flyer. They're all over the place. Last time I talked to him, he said it didn't grab him, and he wanted to sit on it for a while. That was three days ago.
Whittaker: Well, there's obviously been some sort of mistake.
Lucy: Yeah. I made it when I trusted Rodney.
