Looks like we'll have to send someone down. There are a lot of people asking for help for a man named George Bailey.
George Bailey? Yes! Tonight's his crucial night. You're right. We'll have to send someone down immediately. Whose turn is it?
That's why I came to see you, sir. It's that clock maker's turn again.
Oh, Clarence. Hasn't gotten his wings yet, has he?
We passed him up right along. Because, you know sir, he's got the IQ of a rabbit.
Yes, but he's got the faith of a child. Simple. Joseph, send for Clarence.
You sent for me, sir?
Yes, Clarence. A man down on earth needs our help.
Splendid. Is he sick?
No worst. He's discouraged. At exactly 10:45 pm earth time, that man will be thinking seriously about throwing away God's greatest gift.
Oh, dear, dear. His life. Then I've only got 1 hour to dress. What are they wearing now?
You will spend that hour getting acquainted with George Bailey.
Sir, if I should accomplish this mission, I mean... um. Might I perhaps win my wings? I've been waiting for over 200 years now, sir, and people ARE beginning to talk.
What's that book you've got there?
Oh, oh, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
Clarence, you do a good job with George Bailey and you will get your wings.
Nope. This house is a couple blocks north of us.
