Today they’re in a small town in South Carolina. Steve has just come out of a little curio shop, and he seems very excited. Steve: Anita, we’re in luck! There’s a painting in there, a landscape. It’s a good one. I thought it might be valuable, so I took a good look at the signature. It isn’t very clear. I think it may be a Winslow Homer. Anita: A Winslow Homer? It can’t be! They’re all in museums. They’re worth a fortune! Steve: Well, someone found one a couple of years ago. This might be another one. It’s dirty, and it isn’t in very good condition.

There’s a chair in the window. It must be worth about twenty dollars. I’ll offer the old lady a hundred bucks for it. She’ll be so happy that she won’t think about the painting. Anita: Don’t say you want the painting; say you want the frame. O.K.? Steve: Fine, you’d better wait in the van. I’d rather do this on my own. Anita: Uh. Steve, check the signature before you give her a hundred bucks for the chair. Steve: Don’t worry, Anita. I know what I’m doing. Mrs. Venable: I’ll be with you in a minute.
