Charles Barkley: At Barkley’s Bank, it’s simple — I promise you I’m going to do two things — I’m either going to double it or lose it all. And that’s a promise.

INT. STUDIO

An ELDERLY COUPLE are seated side-by-side, holding hands.

Elderly Husband: We we’re planning on retirement and heard Barkley had doubled the money on some friends of ours.

Elderly Wife: We gave a large sum of money to Barkley’s Bank and the only question he had was “What’s your favorite color?”

Elderly Husband: We said blue, but then he clarified and said “What’s your favorite color between black or red.”

Elderly Wife: We said black, and 10 minutes later he called to say that our life savings was gone.

Elderly Husband: Very nice guy. Very honest.

INT. EXECUTIVE OFFICE

Charles Barkley: Hey! You win some you lose some. That’s our motto.

[ The camera pans out to show more of Barkley’s Bank, but due to time constraints, the Barkley’s Bank logo appears then fades to a commercial break. ]
