00:00Oh, hey, Daddy. I thought you were going to take a nap.
00:02I tried. Lucky I got three hours before the phone woke me up.
00:06I was having a good, sexy dream, too.
00:08Who was it?
00:09At first, it was Edie Gourmet.
00:11Then she turned into my cousin Lola.
00:14Yeah, and then who was on the phone?
00:15Oh, some guy named, uh, Elliott said he'd go buy his, uh, 13.
00:20Thirteen thousand?
00:22Thirteen thousand for what?
00:24My, uh, engagement ring.
00:26You're selling your jewelry?
00:27Why? You kids got a drunk habit?
00:29You got the monkey on your back?
00:33No, Dad, we've kicked.
00:36It just turns out that my engagement ring
00:38is worth a lot more than what Doug paid for it.
00:40Oh. So, what are you going to do? Sell it?
00:43No, I'm not going to sell it. It's my engagement ring.
00:46I-I-I love it.
00:48Well, you know, I love it because Doug gave it to me.
00:52The ring itself, a little, little, little busy for my taste.
00:55A little butterfly motif.
00:58Basically, it's a diamond in a buck.
01:01I don't know what to do.
01:03All right, let me tell you something. Sit down.
01:06I'll tell you a little story.
01:08One day, back in 43, I was sipping a shot full of nuts,
01:11eating a tuna sandwich.
01:13This fella comes up to me, shivering,
01:15and offers me $10 for my favorite fedora.
01:18$10! A fortune.
01:20In those days, you could buy a bag full of licorice for a penny
01:23and still get change.
01:25That's wrong.
01:27I told him, keep your $10.
01:30And I took him across the street,
01:32and I bought him the licorice that he wanted.
01:37I thought he wanted your fedora.
01:41How'd I get screwed up here?
01:48Hey, what you doing? Checking out the treasure?
01:51It is a treasure, honey. Not because of what it's worth,
01:53but because you gave it to me.
01:55That is so nice. Thank you. You're welcome.
01:59I can't believe that guy thought we'd sell it.
02:01I know. I mean, the one symbol of our love.
02:03Hello? Can't put a price tag on that.
02:06Of course not. I mean, maybe if the price tag
02:08were, like, $100,000, then yeah, maybe, right?
02:11Or even, like, $50,000. Oh, it's gone, baby.
02:13Bye-bye.
02:15But not for anything less than $50,000.
02:17Right. Like, if he said to me, you know,
02:19hey, I'll give you $25,000. Right, right. Duh.
02:21No.
02:23No.
02:26I don't know. Like, 25 is like a new car.
02:31You know, but he only offered 12, so, uh, yeah, just... that's it.
02:34Actually, he called and, uh, he upped it to 13.
02:3813? Really?
02:43Yeah, but you know what... No, no, definitely not.
02:44No, no, no, because it means too much to you, right?
02:46With all the sentimental value and whatnot.
02:48And I know you love it. Love it!
02:53Although... Yeah?
02:55The ring is just a thing, right?
02:58Right.
03:00I mean, suppose I lost the ring.
03:01Would we stop loving each other?
03:03Of course not.
03:04Suppose I lost the ring and found $13,000.
03:09Would we stop loving each other then?
03:10Honey, I would love you no matter how much money you found.
03:25I would love you no matter how much money you found.
