Don't you have a Malibu?

Why, you want one?

Yeah.

Can I see it?

Yeah. Sure.

Come on.

She's a little love,

but, here's your Malibu.

What's going on?

What really happened to you last night?

Nothing.

Just got drunk, fell on my face.

Honey, what are you doing?

Let's get you cleaned up.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

What would happen to your loved ones

if you died?

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

She's always gone too long

Would they be protected?

Every time she goes away

Why gamble on tomorrow?

Quality Life.

Your future is in our hands.

Here you go. It's all in the up and up.

Fred and Isold are legally married.

Like I told you.

What do you want it for?

It's for my files.

Why'd you make Isold think you were a cop?

When I tell people that I'm

an insurance investigator

they slam the door in my

face and call their lawyer.

Investigator? Aren't you

guys called loss adjusters?

We're concerned with the

bottom line just like...

any other business.

Why don't you put that

in your commercials, then?

People with dead relatives

being cheated out of their...

What do you call it...

Death benefits?

Well, Fred looked pretty much alive to me.

Yeah.

Hey, Josie.

Hey, Rusty.

Can I get a receipt, please?

Sure.

Loss adjuster.

Check under the bed.

He's all gone.

No monster.

The night light.

Can you tell me a story?

What kind of story?

A ghost story.

No, you'll be up all night.

Then I can help you carry Fred to bed.

You're such a brat.

What'd you say about me?

Nothing.

Night, dude.

I want you to tell me a story.

Me?

All right.

Let's see,

once upon a time there

was a man and a woman,

and they were old and poor.

I want a story about rich people.

Okay.

Once upon a time,

there was a filthy rich millionaire,

and his

cheap-looking bimbo.

All right, all right.

Once upon a time, there

was a king and a queen,

and they lived in a big castle.

Did they have a horse?

They had a little horse named...

Lightning.

On the house.

No, I don't...

So... how long

you stayin'?

I'm leaving tomorrow.

In the morning?

Yeah, can't stay long this time.

This time.

Honey, once you leave Hastings,

you ain't never comin' back.

So...

how's the big case going?

It's...

it's, it's going all right.

You're friends with Isold, right?

Sure.

And Kelvin, you're friends with him, too?

I really can't stay

But baby, It's cold outside

I've got to go away

Yeah, but baby, It's cold outside

This evening has been

Been hoping That you'd drop in

So very nice

I'll hold your hands

They're just Like ice

My mother Will start to worry

Beautiful, What's your hurry
