: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.
:18:02
- Mr. Neff, I.....
- Make it Walter.
:18:04
- Walter.
- Right.
:18:07
Tell me, Walter...
how much commission do you make?
:18:11
20%. Why?
:18:13
I thought maybe
I could throw more business your way.
:18:16
I can always use it.
:18:16
I was thinking about my husband.
:18:18
I worry a lot about him,
down in those oil fields.
:18:21
It's very dangerous.
:18:22
- Not for an executive, is it?
- He doesn't just sit behind a desk.
:18:24
He's right down there with the
drilling crews. It's got me worried sick.
:18:28
You mean some dark night
a crown block might fall on him?
:18:30
- Please don't talk like that.
- But that's the idea.
:18:33
The other day a casing line snapped
and caught the foreman.
:18:36
He's in the hospital with a broken back.
:18:38
It's bad.
:18:39
It's got me jittery
just thinking about it.
:18:41
Suppose something like that
happened to my husband?
:18:44
It could.
:18:47
Don't you think he ought to
have accident insurance?
:18:49
Uh-huh.
:18:51
- What kind of insurance could he have?
- Enough to cover doctors' and hospital bills.
:18:56
Say a 100 and 25 a week cash benefit.
And he'd rate around $50,000 capital sum.
