You, you said that they -- Whatd you say just a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even thought of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what?! Until their children grow up and leave them? Until theyre so old and broken-down that -- You know how long it takes a workin man to save five thousand dollars? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble youre talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didnt think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, theyre cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than youll ever be. --George Baily to Mr. Potter in Its A Wonderful Life Its on TV right now! :)
