your partner broke an arm or a leg.

- You get paid for things like that?

- Plenty.

Oh, well, if you get money for it,

it's okay with me.

I don't want it to burn down,

we wouldn't have money to pay.

Could I speak to you privately

just a moment?

How much does he get

if he breaks an arm?

- Five thousand dollars.

- And a leg?

Ten Thousand. And if he loses an eye,

that's $25,000.

What did he say?

If you break an arm

you get $5000...

...a leg, $ 10,000.

- That's a lot of money.

It certainly...

Will you sit down a moment.

We're talking privately.

Now, in the event

that he breaks his neck...

Well, that makes you the beneficiary

for the full amount, $ 100,000.

A hundred thousand dollars?

- It's a deal.

- Okay, doc, do your stuff.

Give us your pulse, sister.

- Perfect, ticking like a clock.

- It's not a clock, it's a watch.

You're cute.

Now for the old pump.

Excuse me.

Perfect. Cross your legs.

Perfect. A perfect specimen

if I ever saw one.

- Professor, if you'll just sign right here.

- Yes, sir.

That'll be $ 100,

the first premium on the policy.

All right, sir. I have it right here.

- There you are.

- Thank you.

That makes it legal.

We'll be back on the third of next month

and that dough had better be ready.

- Or else.

- All right, sir, I'll have it for you.

- Goodbye.

- So long.

- What a soft touch, huh?

- Perfect. Like taking candy from a baby.

Come on, your gang's waiting

at headquarters.

- Hey, what is this?

- Come on. You'll find out.

- Go on.

- We're in a legitimate racket.

Cross your legs.

Get up. Get up.

Hit my knee.

Harder.

- Good day, Mrs. Harlan.

- How do you do, John?

- Miss Trudy?

- Hello.

Grant.

You all look alike

with those things on.

You didn't recognize

the great Lawrence personality?

- How's your invention?

- Swell, Trudy.

The invisible ray is almost finished.

It'll burn everything it hits. A new

weapon that will revolutionize warfare.

- Why, that's marvelous.

- What are you doing at the plant?

We're picking up Father. He and Mother

are leaving for Washington.

I thought you might be interested

in the fact that I'll be alone tonight.

You mean without

that George Worthing around?

Now, Grant, I'll tell you what to do.

You pick up Stanley and Oliver

and we'll have a party.

- Okay.

- Be there at 8 sharp.

- The folks will be gone by then.

- Swell.

Oh, here comes your father

and George Worthing. Duck, quick.

I'll see you later.

Our trip to Washington's very important,

George.

What happens if Washington

approves our merger?

Well, you automatically

become vice president...

...and, I hope, my son-in-law.

Now here's an example,

this obsolete boiler, which...
