This is out and out extortion, the old badger game.

Colonel Foxhall, Colonel Gaylord Mayerwither Foxhall at your service, sir.

My pleasure.

Sit down.

Thank you.

I understand this concerns

A million dollars.

Yes, I believe I am conservative in valuing the contents of this portmanteau at one million cash.

Miss Hathaway, bring in a deposit slip.

Oh, but I'm not depositing.

I am withdrawing.

I never met the gentleman.

Miss Hathaway, what's the idea of letting this southern fried phony in my office?

He's got an appointment.

You said he had a million dollars.

Now throw him out.

Mr. Drysdale, before you make any rash decisions, what does this look like to you?

Like a wild old man after a sweet young girl.

Exactly.

Would you care to identify that wild old man?
