Moe saw a Cary Grant film. He mentions that he heard that Sam still thinks he can be reconciled with Mad. He also thanks Sylvia for the ten dollars but tells her he wished she hadn't sent it and if she has any extra money, that she should spend it on herself. He comments that he wishes that Sylvia's mother would relent where it concerns Mad., and that he doesn't think Alvin is really scared to go into the air.
