Hello, Walter.
This is Sam Gorlopis from Inglewood.
:13:07
Sure, I know Mr. Gorlopis.
:13:08
Wrote a policy on his truck.
:13:10
- How are you, Mr. Gorlopis?
- I ain't so good. My truck burned down.
:13:14
Yeah! Now look, Gorlopis.
:13:16
Every month hundreds of claims
come to this desk.
:13:18
Some of them are phonies, and I know which ones.
How do I know? Because my little man tells me.
:13:25
- What little man?
- The little man in here.
:13:29
Every time one of those phonies comes along
he ties knots in my stomach. I can't eat.
:13:33
And yours was one of them, Gorlopis.
That's how I knew your claim was crooked.
:13:36
So what did I do?
:13:38
I sent a tow car out to your garage
this afternoon...
:13:41
and they jacked up
that burned-out truck of yours.
:13:43
And what did they find?
:13:44
They found what was left
of a pile of shavings.
:13:47
What shavings?
:13:49
The ones you soaked with
kerosene and dropped a match on.
:13:54
Look, mister, I'm just a poor guy.
Maybe I made a mistake.
:13:58
That's one way of putting it.
:14:01
- I ain't feelin' so good, Mr. Keyes.
- Sign this and you'll feel fine.
:14:05
- Sign what?
- Right there. It's a waiver on your claim.
:14:14
Now you're an honest man again.
Goodbye, Gorlopis.
:14:18
But I ain't got no more truck.
:14:20
$2600.
That's a lot of dough where I live.
:14:23
What's the matter, Gorlopis?
Don't you know how to open the door?
:14:25
Just put your hand on the knob,
turn it to the left
:14:29
- pull it toward you... that's the boy.
- Thank you, Mr. Keyes.
:14:40
What kind of an outfit is this anyway?
:14:42
Are we an insurance company,
or a bunch of dimwitted amateurs
:14:44
- ...writing a policy on a mugg like that?
- Wait a minute, Keyes. I don't rate this beef.
:14:47
I clipped a note to that Gorlopis application
to have him thoroughly investigated...
:14:50
before we accepted the risk.
:14:51
I know you did, Walter. I'm not beefing at you.
It's the company. The way they do things.
:14:54
The way they don't do things.
:14:55
The way they'll write anything
just to get it down on the sales sheet.
:14:58
And I'm the guy that has to sit
here up to my neck in phony claims
