- That's right.
Love insurance?
Did you ever hear such stupidity,
such imbecility,
such idiocy, such blithering...
Love insurance? Love is a
beautiful thing, Mr. Moore.
Well, I can't accept you
as an authority.
- How much is the policy for?
- Oh, uh, just a million.
Just a million? Mr. Moore, I
can hear your arteries hardening.
What are you trying
to do to me, Jim, break me?
Why, it's lunacy, insanity.
I can't stand it. It's plain suicide. Dad.
No firm would take this policy.
But, Dad, we already have.
It's all signed.
There's practically no risk.
No risk!
Sorry, Mr. Moore.
Your blood pressure's way up.
We won't be able
to pass you for a policy.
Thanks to you and your blasted
love insurance!
Get out of here!
Take it with you...
to a bank, to a pawn shop.
Hock it. Underwrite it.
I can't take all of it,
but if I come in for half,
that'd kinda make me partners with your
old man, huh? Sure you'd be partners.
That's great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, what is this?
Don't bother me for a while.
Yes, sir.
Might surprise folks who think all I can do is
run a joint like this if I went in for insurance.
Roscoe, you'd bowl 'em over.
Is this okay, boss?
What do ya got?
I don't know. Look, look.
Let me alone, will ya?
Another drink, Mr. Roscoe?
If I want a drink, I'll call
you. Let me alone! Yes, sir.
Kinda crazy to risk a million
on Steve Harper gettin' hitched.
He's got it bad this time. I've invited
him here for you to look him over.
Okay, that's great.
I'll scrutinize him personally.
And if I'm sold, what do I do?
Sign a piece of paper.
I mean... Hey.
Now what's the matter?
Why, it's gone. My wallet!
Yeah?
Say, on the way in, did you pass
a tall guy in a dinner coat? Yeah.
And standin' there with him, was
there a short, stout guy? Yeah.
That's what I thought. It's about
time you met up with the boys. Oh.
Come on, Costello.!
Okay, Abbott.!
Get away from there.! Costello,
what's the matter with you?
Why did you do that?
Oh, I'm a bad boy.!
Go away. You've done enough
damage for one day. I wanna play.
How much you wanna bet?
Ten dollars.
It's a bet. Ten dollars to you. Okay.
That's the idea. I never knew
you gambled. Some over here.
Wait. What are you doing?
I was makin' change.
I'll make the change. Keep the
money down there. Ten more to you.
Look, don't steal it.
Win it honestly.
Put it down. No, put it
there and leave it there.
That's the i...
Gimme that bill.
Put it in my hand
and leave it there.
What are you doing?
I wanna play.
You got any more money?
Yeah, I got a lot of money.
Let me see it. Well!
Hundred dollar bills!
Get a load of that! Hundred dollar
