Now how did James think he was going to be approved for a Bank Loan working at the - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 11-28-2006, 07:46 PM

Car wash and living in the projects? Did he really believe the Bank was going to lend him $2000 with NO BANK ACCOUNT and a LOW PAYING JOB??LOL No Bank in America would lend someone $2000 who is making Minimum Wage and No Car or House. Another ODD James Evans Moment

Like the Bank Manager said, "We have to know you would be able to pay it back"

I don't know why the writers came up with such malarkey. It was like they were giving the impression that poor people can get a bank loan BUT THE BANK DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP ITS $$$.

Good point Solomon. I mean, first the fact that this man had no high school education, he gets mad at the system for giving him menial work. Now, he gets mad at the "system" for not coughing up any $$$.

It was an ep of Three's Company and the Bank Manager said the same thing to Jack and Jack said-"I think that's pretty selfish of you"-LOL Well we can blame Florida for this because she was the one who got him all hyped up about starting the Family Business-lol

Crazy ass Florida. She should have known better.

When she should have encouraged James (keeping the robbery $$$, taking that Alaska job, etc) SHE DIDN'T!

And what about her dumb a$$ advice, "You have to act like you re doing the bank a favor" That wasn't going to mean SH*T if they pulled up his info and see that he wasn't making anything-lol Damm Florida was STUPID

GARFIELDKOOL · 11-28-2006, 08:13 PM

I don't get James. He's either too pessimist or too optimist. He shouldn't have went into the bank with that cocky attitude.

Also, one thing I noticed in this scene at the bank was that that is the same place where Florida and James with to the job interview in episode, "Florida's Big Gig" Mrs. Garrett...... I mean Charlotte Rae wanted to hire James, and the other dude wanted to hire Florida.

TVFactFan · 11-28-2006, 08:15 PM

Good catch Garfieldkool, that bank was the same set as the Interview-lol

Look, sometimes when you are po you figure that in itself entitles you to a loan. If you had the money, you wouldn't need a loan, right? That's how you think. I thought it when i was young and poor. i know better now, but sometimes you figure that the loan gods will look kindly on you cause you need the money for a good reason.

i completely understand it.

Well James wasn't YOUNG and POOR, he was 37 years old and should have been smart enough to know he wasn't going to qualify for a $2000 loan.

Well, obviously he wasn't smart. He listened to Flo and her no good advice and also, he only had a 6th grade education.

Brieannas21 · 11-28-2006, 11:58 PM

I don't think James education matter weather or not he got the loan. The fact is he had nothing to put up, if they happened to have had a little something to put up then they wouldn't have had an problem.

The fact is, James just wanted a chance, And at least he tried.
