I can't watch It's a Wonderful Life anymore, but I realized the other day when I was in a room where it was on that the part that makes me cry isn't the end, but rather when there's a run on the bank. The first guy demands all his money, then the second and third guys ask for $20, and then the next person is a quiet little woman who asks in a small voice "Can I have $17.50?" as if she were asking for too much.
