- Capital sum? What's that?
- In case he gets killed.

:19:05
Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
:19:07
I suppose you have to think of everything
in your business.

:19:10
Your husband would understand.
:19:11
I'm sure I could sell him on the idea
of some accident protection.

:19:14
Why don't I talk to him about it?
:19:15
- You could try. But he's pretty tough going.
- They're all tough at first.

:19:21
He's got a lot on his mind.
:19:22
He doesn't seem to want to
listen to anything...

:19:24
except maybe baseball on the radio.
:19:27
Sometimes we sit all evening
without a word to each other.

:19:31
Sounds pretty dull.
:19:33
- So I just sit and knit.
- Is that what you married him for?

:19:38
Maybe I like the way
his thumbs hold up the wool.

:19:41
Anytime his thumbs get tired...
with me around you wouldn't have to knit.

:19:46
Wouldn't I?
- I bet your life you wouldn't.

:19:51
Why not a little rum
that gets this up on its feet?

:19:57
I want to ask you something, Walter.
:20:01
Could I get him an accident policy
without bothering him at all?

:20:05
How's that again?
:20:06
That would make it easier for you, too.
You wouldn't even have to talk to him.

:20:09
I have a little allowance of my own.
I could pay for it...

:20:12
and he needn't know anything about it.
:20:16
Why shouldn't he know?
:20:18
Because he doesn't want accident insurance.
:20:20
- He's superstitious about it.
- A lot of people are. Funny, isn't it?

:20:24
If there was a way to get it
like that, all the worry would be over.

:20:29
- You see what I mean, Walter?
- Sure. I've got good eyesight.

:20:32
You want him to have the policy
without him knowing it.

:20:35
And that means without the insurance
company knowing that he doesn't know.

:20:38
- That's the set-up, isn't it?
- Is there anything wrong with it?

:20:41
No, I think it's lovely.
:20:43
And then, some dark wet night,
if a crown block fell on him...

:20:45
What crown block?
:20:46
Only sometimes it can't quite make
it on its own so it has to have a little help.

:20:49
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Of course, it doesn't have to be a crown block.

:20:52
It can be a car backing over him,
or he can fall out of an upstairs window.

:20:55
Any little thing like that,
as long as it's a morgue job.

:20:57
Are you crazy?
:20:59
Not that crazy.
