No Down Payment

- Boy: You want to make a bet on that? - Girl: Yeah!

|'|| bet you $2.00.

That's not a lot of money.

Girl: I bet you $5,000.

Oh, David.

- Daddy! Daddy! - Dad: Hi.

- Daddy's going to hell when he dies. - He will not.

He's going to hell and burn up 'cause he won't go to church.

- Girl: Daddy'ii go to heaven. - Boy: Not if he doesn't go to church.

- Girl: I'm gonna tell daddy on you. - Boy: Go ahead and tell.

Daddy!

Mother, isn't daddy going to hell when he dies?

Run along in the backyard, harmon.

Come on, Sandra. You go with harmon.

Must you wash your car on Sunday morning where everyone can see?

Can't you wait until church is over?

Honey, this is our own driveway. I'm not washing it in front of the church.

It's the same thing.

Okay. Next Sunday I'll wait till the afternoon.

Well, let's go in and have some lunch.

Okay.

Hey, Betty? Come here. Somebody's moving in.

Betty: Welcome to sunrise hills.

Why, hello.

Hi. I'm Betty kreitzer.

I'm Jean Martin. This is my husband, David.

- Hi. - Herman. Everybody calls me herm.

- How you doing, herm? - Fine.

Well, how do you like your new house?

Oh, we're very excited about it.

Well, just a little bit nervous, you know.

It's quite a responsibility.

Oh, that's all right.

Nobody in this development is allowed to own a house they can afford.

We're having a barbecue tonight. Would you join us?

You're sure we wouldn't be putting you out?

No. I'll just throw a couple extra steaks on the fire.

Why don't you drop in around 7:00.

We're gonna have some drinks first,

and you'll have a chance to meet the other neighbors.

- Thanks. - Listen, David.

Can't I help you carry some of this stuff in?

Oh, no. Thanks, herm. We'll manage all right.

- Well, we'll see you later, then. - David: Yeah.

Well, if there is anything you do need, just give a yell.

Thanks again.

- See you later, Isabelle. - Okay, Betty.

Right down there.

- Is this where you want it, honey? - Mm-hmm. Right here.

Okay.

- All right. - Yeah.

Woman: Ooh!

Have you got to go to the station today?

Yeah.

Everybody else got a five-day week. You got a seven.

In the army it was seven days a week, 24 hours around the clock.

This is a snap.

Yeah, but it means we can't go anyplace.

I've spent too many years in too many places.

Got to buckle— Got to buckle down in one spot.

It's the only way to make good.

- You got to go right this minute? - Well, I should.

Do you always do everything you should?

You want me to be a success, don't you? Hmm?

- You already are with me. - Oh, baby.

I got to get to work.

Your lunch is on the table, Mike.

Mommy, I want to watch TV.

Please, Mikey. Mama's fixed you...

- No, I want to see TV. - After lunch.

Why don't you give him his lunch in here?

Because Dr. Greenspun says that's a bad habit.

Hmm. Why don't you get Dr. Greenspun to come over here and feed him?

Isabelle, can you spare some butter?

Sure, Betty. It's in the refrigerator.

- Hiya, Betty. - Hiya, cowboy. (Kisses)

Hi, Jerry.

Please, Jerry, it's only the afternoon.

I got a rough day ahead of me, honey.

But it doesn't look right.

Betty knows it's only medicinal.

Look, do you have to start now?

You've got a whole day's work ahead of you.

Isabelle, is this all right?

- Yeah. - Thanks a lot.

- Betty. - Hmm?

I can't seem to get Mikey to eat his lunch.

Mikey? (Clears throat)

How'd you like to have lunch with us?

I want to see TV.

Well, now, look, right after lunch,

there's a great western on TV with cowboys and Indians,

and you can sit and watch it with Sandra and harmon, huh?

- Okay, mommy? - Okay, Mikey.

I'll bring him back around 2:00, okay?

Thanks, Betty. Bye, Mikey.

Bye, mommy.

I got to be on my way, honey.

I wish you didn't have to work on Sunday.

I wish I didn't have to work, period.

Don't be late for Herman's barbecue, huh?

I won't.

Getting awful hard to buy the right kind of charcoal

for real good barbecue.

Fifteen hundred barbecues here,

and probably half of 'em are broiling steaks tonight.

- Let's play another game. - Yeah.

- Let's play another game. - Okay. All right.

Leola sure has a way with kids.

Yeah, she's just a big kid herself.

When are you gonna start a family of your own?

Soon as I get that chief of police appointment.

Troy, you know, that's not much of a job.

We're only going to have a five-man force.

I don't know, herm.

Sunrise hills is gonna be a city on its own someday.

You got a great future with a big company.

You know, you got a real future.

You ought to think about that.

You ought to think about that before giving it up.

No, I don't like being an organization man.

I like to make my own decisions.

- Hi! - David: Hi.

Come on in. Come on in.

David. Jean.

Listen, I want you to meet Troy Boone.

Troy, this is Jean and David Martin.

- Hello. - Hi, Troy.

How do you do? Leola!

I want you to meet the Martins.

- That's my wife, leola. - Hey.

Hello.

Troy here runs that big service station in sunrise hills.

Oh, yeah.

- Dave, huh? - Uh-huh.

Well, you drop by sometime, Dave. I'll give you a credit card.

Well, thanks, I will. We went by this morning.

- That's really quite a layout. - Thank you.

Troy runs that place like it was a marine outpost on guadalcanal.

I got a bunch of good boys.

Two of 'em served with me all through the marianas campaign.

This guy has got enough medals to open a hock shop.

You ought to see his garage.

It looks like a museum of the Japanese war.

Yeah, the worst day of my life was putting on civilian clothes.

Where'd you see action, Dave?

Uh, my outfit never left the states.

Oh? Where was you stationed?

Los Alamos.

Dave there invented the atom bomb, didn't you know?

I only worked on the computations. I didn't really know what they were for.

- Oh, no kidding? - Mm-hmm.

- Well, what you working on now, Dave? - Electronics.

What kind?

Oh, it's called automation.

We're developing a machine that'll do the work of about 500 men.

You figure you can get a machine that'll do most everything, huh?

Not quite everything.

Herman: We oughta had one of those machines on iwo jima.

We could've sat in front of TV and watched the war go by.

Oh, uh, Isabelle, I want you to meet Jean and David Martin.

- Isabelle flagg. - Hello, Isabelle.

They just moved in today.

Oh, just the two of you?

So far, but we're hoping.

This is a great place to raise children.

- Can I help you, Betty? - Sure. You can help set the table.

Come on. Let me get you guys a real drink. Come on.

- Hey, how are the martinis over here? - They're doing great.

Good.

One great thing about it is that we've all got so much in common.

We're all about the same age. We all have nice homes.

All our husbands are doing very well.

Jerry and I kicked across half of this country

before we found the spot that we wanted to settle in,

and we think sunrise hills is just the living end.

Jerry: Baby!

- (Chuckles) Jerry. - Baby.

Hiya, doll.

What's cooking?

Looks like you're already half-broiled.

Had to get the customer tanked up so he wouldn't hear the engine knocks.

Mm-hmm. Well, you're smeared with lipstick, doll.

She thought I went along with the car. What could I do? I had to be friendly.

Herml

Jerry.

What do you say, Betty? How about a scotch?

Try a beer.

I'm agreeable if you are.

Betty.

Hi, daddy.

What do you say, Daisy Mae?

How's li'i abner?

You know something, Jerry? You ought to be in vaudeville.

Ain't you heard, honey? Vaudeville's dead.

- That's what I mean. - Arrghl

hey, Troy.

Listen, when are you gonna break down

and buy that station wagon leola's been drooling for?

Well, I'll tell you. I've been saving up my green stamps.
