One Night in the Tropics Page #2

Bet you my fine there isn't.

What about the black eye?

Order.

I'm running for superior court

in the coming elections.

Could you cover the risk of,

uh, reelection? Reelection?

Confidentially,

what are your chances?

Confidentially, I'm a cinch.

Fine. I'll insure you

for twice your salary.

Just a matter of putting your

autograph on the undotted line.

I never did see such goings-on.

Is this a court or a bargain counter?

Order. Well, thanks very

much for dropping in.

Oh, not at all. You can

mail me the check tomorrow.

Congratulations.

See you in superior court.

Hey, Judge McCracken, you realize what

you've done? You let him go without a fine.

Sentence suspended!

What's your occupation?

Politician.

90 days.

"My... My darling Cynthia,

I could not sleep a wink last night

because of my unfortunate behavior. "

My lovely Cynthia,

due to a series

of unhappy coincidence...

No, that's too stiff.

My dearest girl, is it my

fault you have a loony aunt?

Sounds bad. Say, what

she feed you last night?

Aunt poison.

Oh, Aunt Kitty, eh?

Well, how'd you do?

I didn't do, I went.

I did all right. That reminds me, don't

forget to vote for a Judge McCracken.

Will you shut up? My marriage

is practically on the rocks.

Oh.

Oh, if I could only be sure.

To be sure, insure.

Oh, I'm not interested

in your screwy policies.

That's wonderful.

Oh, that's marvelous!

Why didn't I think of that before?

Think of what?

Love insurance. Love insurance.

Now I know you're crazy.

Do you wanna be sure

you'll marry Cynthia?

What do you think I'm yappin' about?

Take out a policy! Love insurance!

I don't get it. You'd be willing

to lay 10-to-1 on a horse.

A policy is no bet,

and Cynthia is not a horse.

But this policy would be a bet.

I'm willing to lay 10-to-1

on your marriage.

If you marry Cynthia,

you lose the bet and the premium.

If I don't marry Cynthia, no amount

of money will make up for her loss.

I promise you, you'll get the girl,

not the money.

Look, have I ever

lost a bet before?

Did I ever have to

pay off on a policy?

Say, that's right. You

never did, did you? No.

You've always been lucky, Lucky.

Yes.

Gimme something to sign. I

wanna make it legal. All right.

Oh, that's wonderful, Lucky.

Wonderful.

Is Mr. Steve Harper in? Yes. There's

a gentleman with him at the moment.

Well, there'll be a lady with

him before you can say "yehoodi. "

Ouch.

Well, gotta get back to the

office. I hate to let you go, Lucky.

You make me feel so...

so lucky.

Why not? You're practically

a married man.

That's your phone ringing.

It might be Cynthia.

Cynthia! I thought

it was my ears ringing.

Insured!

Hello? Oh, Cynthia!
