Fall (dialogue)

When is property tax due?

In the fall.

Have we ever fallen behind?

Not that I recall. Why ?

I got a phishing email. It says we owe money to the county office. No less than $2,000!

Ignore it. It's a scam.

Figures. I wonder how often these scams actually work.

Not very often, I guess. But my uncle almost fell for one once.

Really? Your uncle Scrooge McDuck? I can't imagine him falling back on his savings.

Seriously, he almost fell out of his chair when he realized he had almost fallen into a trap.

Yeah, he’d rather fall off a cliff than lose a penny. He'd have fallen apart.
