उत्तर
| Gresham | Baldwin, why do you look cross? |
| Baldwin | Ask your conscience. |
| Gresham | Well, my conscience is clear. What is wrong with you? |
| Baldwin | I found out that you are siphoning small negligible changes to your own account. Now it amounts to a few hundred thousand dollars as none of the depositors have noticed the disappearance of small changes. |
| Gresham | Well, none of the depositors would lose a cent. I have transferred it in some investment. I have got tenfold gains. Now we shall quietly transfer the amount to their own accounts. No one will ever come to know of it. |
| Baldwin | Is it not a breach of trust? I’m not going to keep quiet about this. |
| Gresham | What do you want to do? |
| Baldwin | Close the bank and make good the loss to all the depositors. (After a few days) |
| Gresham | Well, Baldwin, I have closed the bank. Third National is going to do the reorganization. Now I want you to say three words. |
| Baldwin | What? |
| Gresham | “I don’t remember” When you are cross-examined on vital statistics for which you would require references. |
| Baldwin | How does that absolve you of your crime? |
| Gresham | Don’t you know the fact that I’ve earned enough money and no depositor will lose a cent? It is just a technicality. |
| Baldwin | What do you mean? |
| Gresham | Well, I will give you one hundred thousand dollars for letting me off the hook. I just want you to say “I don’t remember”. |
| Baldwin | Already you have used the funds of depositors. You want them to become paupers? |
| Gresham | Baldwin, you frustrate me. Look here. This is hot cash from my own private fortune. Baldwin, why don’t you say something? |
| Baldwin | You have known me for more than 35 years. |
| Gresham | You are silent. Say yes or no. I know you have been an upright man all through your life. The offer is final. |
| Baldwin | You have one option Gresham. We will meet in court. You can confess. For God’s sake don’t force me to say anything now. I am disturbed. |
| Gresham | Why do you think it is a bribe or a bait. It is the difference in your salary, the salary you have received and what you should have got all these years. |
| Baldwin | As long as you are honest, I will be loyal to you Gresham. When you part with loyalty, we would part ways. The matter is closed. |
