So George Bailey had a meeting with Mr. Potter
Potter offered to pay him 20,000 dollars a year for three years
In todays dollars that would be about 400,000 a year
So George went home to his wife and asked her if he should take the deal
Her reply was, "Are you kidding? Of course I want you to take the job!
You go back first thing the next morning and tell Mr. Potter
You may be a scurvy old spider, but you're a scurvy old spider
That's gonna give me 20,000 a year!
Goodbye Bedford Falls!
Hello Pottersville!
Uncle Billy went to insane asylum shortly after that
And Clarence the angel second class remained an angel without his wings
And Mr. Potter had the best Christmas an old scrooge ever had
The end
