And you'll work on your interpersonal skills?

- Yes.

- Good.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'll go start covering your ass.

Oh, hi. Yeah, sorry.

Are all these yours?

Greatest sport on earth.

Moved to a compound bow two years ago.

Arthritis. Less draw weight.

Tea okay?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you.

I was just wondering, did you happen

to talk to Raymond when he got back?

Only saw him the once.

Never spoke to him.

Waved to him.

You waved?

He was clearing my driveway.

Raymond was a real hellcat

when he was younger.

But like they say,

time mellows even the hardest soul.

Was he much of an outdoo

rsman or ahiker or...?

I thought it was Paul at first.

Have you talked to Paul's wife?

Now there's a story.

Not that I'm much of a one for gossip,

but I think that...

I'm sorry. Did you say you thought it

was Paul that did your driveway?

Okay. It turns out that Mr. Barnell

is mortgaged to the nuts.

His business is about one step away

from Chapter 11.

Plus, it's like his brother Raymond

never even existed.

There's no credit history,

there's no nothing for the last five years.

Plus the only thing he did

after his recent reappearance...

was get some new ID and a new credit

card, but he didn't charge anything.

Less than nothing.

- Okay, well, it's something.

- No, it's not.

- Yes, it is.

- No, it's not.

Claims, Watters.

This is personal.

I promise.

Mr. Barnell, your ears must have been

burning. I was just...

Oh, yeah, sure, yeah.

What time?

Why is God, who is a loving God,

capable of such things?

When someone is taken from us at such

a young age, we often ourselves why.

Bullshit.

What possible purpose could this serve?

But I believe the Apostle Paul,

writing to the Ephesians,

said it best when he said

"All things are done according to God's will. "

Nun banger.

Doggies!

Raymond Barnell, Barnell's Travel.

We should have seen it earlier.

We should have checked the funeral

announcements right away.

Mr. Barnell, there was really no hurry

on this. I mean...

we could've waited until later.

We just wrapped up.

This is my wife, Margaret.

Sweetheart, why don't you go

sit in the car and warm up, okay?

Okey dokey, Smokey.

She's been under a lot of stress lately.

I notice the media's here.

They really don't give people

a moment's peace, do they?

I called them.

Really?

They wanted to talk to me about Raymond,

and I thought now would be

an appropriate time.

And youll just happen to mention

your heartless insurance company

that hasn't paid off your policy yet.

I had to borrow money to pay

for this coffin, Mr. Ted.

Well, you're breaking

my heart, Mr. Barnell.

I doubt that.
