Send Me No Flowers Page #5

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'm sure you will. Just wish|I could be around to hear it.

Maybe I can knock out|a rough draft before you go.

You know something, Arnold?|Judy will never make alone.

Look at it this way, George:

Judy's young, she's attractive,|she'll probably get married again.

I'm sorry,

I shouldn't say a thing like that,|with you not gone yet.

It's alright, Arnold.

Of course it's a possibility.|Judy might get married again.

Suppose she married the wrong man,|like poor Janet Hart. Remember her?

Who? - Janet and Bill Hart.|Don't you remember? - No.

After Bill died Janet needed somebody|to lean on, so she took the first guy.

One week after the funeral|she ran off with a bongo player.

A bongo player?|- Yeah.

Took her for every cent.|- Is that going to happen to Judy?

Who knows? She could turn to the first|man that comes along. - Holy cow!

Arnold? There's no question:

Judy should marry again, but to|the right man. I've got to find him.

Another husband? Who, George?

I don't know. I'll find somebody.

I'm a married man, George.

Not you. Woods must be|full of eligible bachelors.

Did it come yet, baby?|- What, mio amore?

The 50 thou,|the old boy's life insurance.

Is that enough, Vito?|- For now.

If we need more we can sell the joint.

Mr. Kimball is here, Mr. Atkins.

You phoned us about|the purchase of a final resting place.

Sit down, won't you?|- Thank you.

This has been a busy morning.|Did you see the Archers? - Who?

The Archers on Meadow Rd.|Do you know them? - I don't think so.

They're a family of 8. They|were all in. Wonderful to see them.

You don't get|those big families anymore.

I can understand your point of view.|- Do you know Green Hills? - Pardon?

Do you have anyone residing with us?|- Not as yet.

You saw our advertising campaign.|- No, I must have missed it.

I think I have a copy somewhere.|Oh, there it is.

There she be.

Sure hits you in the eye, doesn't it?

Yes, it sure does.|- We suggest

the entire family all go out|and select the final resting place.

The kids love it. They have a ball!|- I'll bet they do.

If you'll notice, all monuments|in Green Hills are the same height,

4 feet. As you see, it gives|a wonderful impression of uniformity.

A sort of Levittown of the hereafter.

I like that.

"The Levittown of..." - Mr. Atkins,|could we get down to business?

Yes Siree-Bob.|As soon as I find the old order pad.

Here we are!

Now, how many in your family,|Mr. Kimball?

Just my wife and myself.

Oh, well. That's alright.

Chance of any little additions, maybe?

Well, there might be|another man along later.

I beg your pardon.

Mr. Atkins, let me ask you a question.

Assuming the husband goes first,|and then later on the wife remarries.
