Edna, darling, I have something to tell you.
Yes, Stanley?
I'm concerned about our investments.
Really? Should I be worried?
Well, as you may have heard, the economy is a bit. . . rocky at the moment. Actually, it's a little out of control and scary.
Oh dear! But that won't affect our holiday cruise to the islands, will it?
Well, we may have to stick to the Caymans and West Indies, I'm afraid.
And miss South America? How will I break it to the servants in Rio and Buenos Aires?
We must all make sacrifices, my dear. I hate to do it, but, regrettably, I'm letting them go.
You are such a benevolent man, Stanley.
I try, Edna.
