Lil grabbing the $500 check

The way it was done was a bit of comic genius. Lil complains about being lowballed by Mr. Legendre's $500 check; the camera stays in place while she runs off to chase down Bill. But then she quickly dashes back in frame to grab the check. I was dying at that part, it was hilarious.

It was pretty funny, considering how just a few scenes earlier she had turned up her nose at Albert when he proudly announced that he had 1500 dollars saved up. She looked at him as if that 1500 dollars was chump change.
