Tension Page #3

No, I'll go down there myself.

Claire will have to listen to me.

I'll make her listen. Deager or no Deager.

Claire?

Hi, Warren.

I wanna talk to my wife.

Want me to introduce you?

Hey, Claire.

Here's a guy who wants to talk to you.

Go ahead. Talk.

- Why don't you go home?

- Claire, please.

- Warren, why don't you grow up?

- Don't act that way.

- I've gotta talk to you.

- What's there to talk about?

Please.

Let go of my arm, Warren.

Doc, you're hurting her.

- Claire, listen to me. I...

- Let go of my arm, Warren.

Hey, you're hurting the lady.

Why don't you stop

and get out of here like a nice fella?

- I'm not leaving here. Not without her.

- Is that the way you want it?

- You know how I want it.

- Okay, Warren, so go on, huh?

Listen, Deager...

All right.

Now, get going.

And don't come back.

You four-eyed punk.

He hadn't figured it this way.

Not to get Claire back was one thing...

...but to take a beating,

and in front of his wife...

...was more shame

than Warren Quimby could stand.

This is what started it all.

That seems better, doesn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.

Comfortable?

That'll be five dollars.

Would you be interested

in a pair of those?

No. No, I don't think so.

They're prescribed lenses,

same as you have there...

...except that they're

much more convenient.

They're molded

to the contour of your eye.

They're very simple to insert and remove.

Give the appearance

of no glasses at all.

- Really change your looks.

- No, I don't think so.

They're still at it, trying to find out

who owns Germany...

...who owns the A-bombs.

Floods, cyclones, earthquakes, riots.

They're loaded.

Look at this one.

A 64-year-old guy in Pennsylvania...

...found with a bullet in his head.

And I'll bet they never get the guy

that did it. Never.

Do you know

that the Giants won three in a row?

Have you any idea how many

unsolved murders there are every year?

Not much juice in these oranges.

A guy commits a murder, see?

Blows, leaves no traces, no clues, nothing.

Just commits the murder and disappears.

Drives the cops daffy.

She wouldn't come back, would she?

What happened?

He beat me up.

Beat you up.

No guy could do that to me.

I'd kill him.

I mean it, Mr. Quimby. I'd kill him.

Kill him? Yeah.

But how do you do that

and not get caught?

You become a different person. That's it.

You wipe out Warren Quimby

and in his place you put someone else.

I've had people come in here

who've worn glasses all their lives.

They get these remarkable lenses,

they throw their glasses away.

And believe me, sir...

...they get a whole new, fresh viewpoint.

Their personality changes.

How long does all this take?
