　　B: (Soon)
Helen: Hi, dad! I'd better warn you. Victor's here. He just stepped out for a minute.
Dad: Wonderful! I'll be in my study!
(Helen walks in the study when she hears her dad's shouting.)
Helen: Dad? Are you okay?
Dad: My dollar! It's gone! It was on my desk and now it's gone!
Helen: Dad, it was just a dollar! There's millions more where that came from!
Dad: That was my lucky dollar! The first one I ever made in business! I had it out to frame¹ it!
Helen: Uh...maybe Victor sort of borrowed it.
Dad: He what?
Helen: He said he saw a dollar on your desk, so I told him he could borrow it.
Dad: Without my lucky dollar I'll lose everything! I should have known Victor would be the cause of my downfall!
(Victor walks in.)
Victor: I'm back. Here's your change, Mr. Dodge². I'll pay you back tomorrow.
Dad: Get out! Right now!
Helen: Dad, try to control yourself!
