Bet you my fine there isn't.
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.
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!
