- Of course, darling.

- Make them feel nice and comfortable.

- No problem. Of course.

- Okay.

- Wanda!

- Would you care to join us, Mr...?

- Hoffman.

- In the house to eat.

- Mr. Hoffman. It would be very nice.

They don't speak English,

but they're lovely.

No, thank you. 6:30 with

the family every night. Like a clock.

Here you go.

Okay, come on. Come on, come on.

All right, move it.

What? What is that?

No, it's all right.

It's all right. No, nothing.

Okay, all right, I'm fine.

- So you call me or I call you, okay?

- Yeah, we'll talk.

Thank you so much.

Sorry.

- I thought you handled it perfectly.

- He seemed like a very nice man.

Steve, you know we don't really

have anything to feed the Chinese.

Darling, everything's gonna be fine.

Hello?

I'm sorry, who?

Leonard? Okay.

Hold on just a second, please.

Some woman.

- Hello?

- Have I caught you at a bad time?

Who is it?

It's Blanche. The woman who doesn't

lie, calling the man who doesn't lie.

Hello.

Leonard?

I want you to meet me tomorrow at 10

at the Rexall drugstore in Canoga Park.

- Who was it?

- Wrong number.

We understand, Dad.

Sure. I mean,

we could always go to Polytech.

They have a pretty good

music department, don't they?

- Listen. Let's not talk about this.

- Yeah, Dad, don't let it bother you.

- We don't want you to go broke for us.

- You did the best you could.

We still love you. We know

you're not a Rockefeller.

I wanna make something very clear.

I'm not a criminal.

Do you think that I'm a criminal?

Do I look like a criminal?

Need some cards, honey?

Need cards?

Perfect. We needed these.

I want you to swear to me that

he's gonna die in six weeks.

I'll give you the number

of our doctor, Dr. Lopez.

I want you to call him.

Check me out with him.

Swear to me. Swear to me.

I asked you to meet me at the Rexall

drugstore. You said yes or something.

There's a deluxe accident policy.

It pays $2.5 million

for catastrophic accidents.

- There's something in the fine print.

- What?

There's a double-indemnity kicker.

It pays $5 million if the insured

happens to fall off a train and get killed.

Want some candy?

How about some candy?

We need a lot of stuff, but we don't

have any candy. You want candy?

No, thank you.

- We need Corn Nuts?

- No, not this week.

Okay, well, how about down here?

Mr. Sorenson, Mr. Sorenson.

Counter one.

First we have to...

First we have to...

- Kill him.

- Okay. First we have to...

Have to do that thing.

And I get on the train. I'm dressed

exactly like him, everybody sees me.

At a specific point, I jump off the

train. You're there. We drag his...

Corpse.

I have two copies of the policy.
