He's a lot of fun.

I've had my share of a heyday.

Why haven't you ever gotten

a life insurance policy?

That's what I thought I was

doing with you.

This is a homeowner's policy.

That covers the house.

The liability on the house,

things like fire.

What you needed

was a life insurance policy.

I don't know. You do it.

What am I supposed to do? Fill out

a policy and forge the doctor's name?

No! Look, I wish you'd leave.

I wish you'd leave because I'm trying

to tell you something about reality...

...and you're talking about stealing.

That's what that would be.

That would be stealing,

so I wish you'd just leave.

Does he know he's gonna die?

Yes.

Is he afraid?

I can't. I don't understand. I can't.

He wants me to kill him.

I wanna do it because his pain is so

great. I need to do it, but I can't.

He doesn't wanna know when it's

gonna happen. When I'm gonna do it.

I can't contend with that.

I just can't contend with that.

You wanted me to come so I'd figure

some way of writing insurance on him?

No. No, no.

- Let's just not talk about it anymore.

- Okay.

I'll think about it. I'll think.

I know that'll never happen,

but it was sweet of you to suggest.

I don't know what I can do. I'll think

about it and you think about it.

If somebody thinks of something,

then I don't know, I don't know.

That's my husband.

- His heart is surrounded by fat.

- He looks like a beautiful soul.

Okay. All right, all right, all right.

I'll get you out of the truck.

Come over here to the back of the

truck. Come on. That's right. Here.

I got something for you. Now, look.

I can't pay you now, fellows...

...because, you see, in America we

don't always pay with money.

But I got these. These are your W-2s.

Government, important.

The blue ones are individual

retirement accounts. There's plenty.

Hey, anybody interested

in a Mobil credit card?

In case you get a car, this is for the

gas. You hang on to the applications.

Be a winner. This is the Publishers

Clearing House sweepstakes.

Here's your chance

to make a quick buck.

And here, oh boy,

American Express Gold Card.

Now, fellows, are you hungry?

Hungry? Yeah? All right.

There's a McDonald's

down the way.

No McDonald's. Look, just hold on

a second, I'll speak to my wife.

I'll ask my wife if she can

rustle up something in the kitchen.

Okay? All right.

Darling, you're home early.

I'm in transit, sweetie. I gotta sell

these Chinese to the Hotel Sheridan.

This is Mr. Hoffman

from the insurance.

You're gonna help me with

my homeowner's policy?

That's right.

The Chinese, the Chinese.

Darling, the Chinese are hungry.

- Do you think Wanda could serve them?
