Send Me No Flowers Page #4

Synopsis: At one of his many visits to his doctor, hypochondriac George Kimball mistakes a dying man's diagnosis for his own and believes he only has about two more weeks to live. Wanting to take care of his wife Judy, he doesn't tell her and tries to find her a new husband. When he finally does tell her, she quickly finds out he's not dying at all (while he doesn't) and she believes it's just a lame excuse to hide an affair, so she decides to leave him.

I think we should drive Arnold home.|He can pick up his car tomorrow.

Judy, do you know|what type of man you're married to?

Thinking of the other guy, even at|a time like this. - A time like this?

He means, at a time when|he forgets where he parked his car.

You can ride with us, Arnie. Come on.

That was brilliant.

Come on, Arnold.

Judy, I just wanted to tell you,|I live right next door, alright?

Right, Arnold. - If you need me|for anything, day or night,

that's where I'll be, right next door.

Thanks a lot, Arnold.

Oh, was he bombed.|What's he had to drink?

Hello, Mrs. Kimball. For you|we put it through special.

That is something! Almost as wild|as this morning's outfit, huh?

Bye, now.

Pretty fresh kid.|- Oh, he's just friendly.

Friendly? Bet he makes out|pretty good in this neighborhood.

Oh, darling? Joe at the gas station|gave me back this check.

He said it's the wrong amount|and I should make out a new one.

The bill was 45.58 and,|I don't know why, but I wrote 78.60.

The figure's not $78.60, it's 7-8-6-0.|You paid your license plate!

You're kidding. That's an odd one.

Now, anybody can make a mistake...|- I'd like to talk to you. Judy?

How would you like|to go to night school?

Where? - Night school.|Just a couple of nights a week.

To learn banking,|bookkeeping, a little accounting.

That's just... Why? - Because|these things keep our ship afloat.

For example:
What does|"amortization of a mortgage" mean?

I don't care.|- But you've got to care.

That's your department.|- But it's important for you to know.

Why should we both know the|same things? - Judy, please.

Will you let me get dinner going?|- That's what I want to talk about.

How much is a pound of ham?|- I don't know, I didn't buy a pound.

How much did you buy? - A half pound.|- How much was it?

If I don't know that either.

How do you know they're not cheating|you, if you don't know the prices?

Would you tell me why you're|getting so worked up about ham?

It's not just ham,|it's the whole principle.

George, you didn't lose your job?|- No, I didn't lose my job.

I'll have it the rest of my life.|- Then what are you worried about?

You better check on Arnold.|See if he wants to have dinner, huh?

We can eat in half an hour.

What does "amortization" mean?

Hindus had the right idea. When|the husband died, the wife went too.

Threw herself on the funeral pyre.|And he didn't have to worry about her.

I've been thinking, and|I want to do this, so don't say no.

Fact is, I consider it a privilege.|- What? - I want to deliver a eulogy.

That'd be fine. - And don't worry,|I'll give you one gorgeous send-off.
