Back in my office there was a phone message
from Mrs. Dietrichson about the renewals.
:16:10
She didn't want me to come tomorrow evening.
:16:13
She wanted me to come
Thursday afternoon at 3:30 instead.
:16:17
I had a lot of stuff lined up
for that Thursday afternoon,
:16:20
including a trip down to Santa Monica to see a couple
of live prospects about some group insurance.
:16:27
But I kept thinking about Phyllis Dietrichson
and the way that anklet of hers cut into her leg.
:16:40
Hello, Mr. Neff.
Aren't you coming in?
:16:43
I'm considering it.
:16:47
I hope you didn't mind
my changing the appointment.
:16:49
Last night wasn't so convenient.
:16:51
That's alright.
I was working on my stamp collection.
:16:55
I was just fixing some iced tea.
Would you like a glass?
:16:57
Unless you have a bottle of beer
that's not working.
:16:59
There might be some.
I never know what's in the ice box. Nettie!...
:17:07
- About those renewals, Mr. Neff.
I talked to my husband about it.
:17:11
- You did?
Yes. He'll renew with you he told me so.
:17:13
In fact,
I thought he'd be here this afternoon.
:17:15
- But he's not?
- No.
:17:18
That's terrible.
:17:21
Nettie!... Nettie!...
Oh, I forgot, it's the maid's day off.
:17:27
- Nevermind the beer, ice tea will be fine.
- Lemon? Sugar?
:17:31
Fix it your way.
:17:34
Seeing it's the maid's day off
maybe there's something I can do for you.
:17:37
Like running the vacuum cleaner.
:17:40
- Fresh.
- I used to peddle vacuum cleaners.
:17:44
Not much money
but you learn a lot about life.
:17:46
I didn't think you learned it
from a correspondence course.
:17:51
Where did you pick up this tea drinking?
:17:53
- You're not English, are you?
- No. Californian.
:17:56
Born right here in Los Angeles.
:17:57
They say native Californians all
come from Iowa.
