Episode 4 On the patio of the Stewarts home. Richard and Marilyn are speaking about their experience at the bank.
Richard: It all sounded so easy until they mentioned needing collateral or a guarantor. Marilyn: We have no collateral. Richard: And I don't think it's a good idea to ask Dad to sign as a guarantor. I don't feel right about it. Marilyn: I understand your feelings about it, Richard. Ellen comes out to the patio. Ellen: Now, tell me, what's the problem? Marilyn: We can get a loan from the bank if we can put up some collateral. Richard: And we don't own anything to use as collateral. Marilyn: Or someone can sign with us as a guarantor. Ellen: Why don't you speak to Dad? Richard: No. If we buy a house, I want to be able to handle it alone. Ellen: Everybody needs help sometimes, Richard. Marilyn: I understand Richard's feelings about it, Ellen. Richard: In two or three months, I'll have an advance on my book and be able to put more money down. Marilyn: What about the house in Mount Kisco? Somebody else'll buy it by then. Richard: Then there'll be other houses, Marilyn. Ellen: Richard has a point. You're just beginning to look. Marilyn: We're in no great rush. It's true. Richard: This has been a great learning experience for us, Marilyn. Talking to the real-estate agent. Looking at the houses. Talking to the loan officer at the bank. Marilyn: It has been a learning experience. That's true. Ellen: I think you're doing the right thing. Taking your time. Looking around. Especially with a purchase of this kind. You're talking about a lot of money. Marilyn: We'll call Mrs. Martinelli and tell her to keep looking for us. Richard: And I'll call Mr. Riley at the bank and tell him we'll see him in a couple of months. Ellen: And if you ever need Dad or me to help you... Marilyn: We know. Ellen: You know we'll be there for you. Richard: It's a Stewart tradition. We're a family. 1.
