made numerous radio appearances.
You've beaten it up?
1:11:04
It's newsworthy.
1:11:05
You could sell his story for twice
the value of the boat, couldn't you?
1:11:12
Will you tell the court about Michael?
1:11:18
We have the letters.
1:11:20
I presume you mean...?
1:11:31
He died. I found him on the carpet.
I don't know what happened.
1:11:36
I should tell the court that Michael was a goldfish.
An insured goldfish.
1:11:42
How much did you get for it
after 2 years and 37 letters?
1:11:48
- I don't remember. Who cares?
- $78.
1:11:51
Do you know how many claims you've
made over the past 25 years?
1:11:56
Injury to a cat from a
faulty spring in a sofa.
1:11:59
That nearly killed her.
In fact, she did die later.
1:12:02
Not before you stood on her
and claimed that too.
1:12:05
It is a history of unremitting obsession.
1:12:09
- I think that's overstating it.
- 109 claims?
1:12:12
Everyone was legitimate.
What else is insurance for?
1:12:15
- You don't like insurance companies, do you?
- No.
1:12:20
Will you tell the court what happened
on the 23rd of March, 1966?
1:12:26
1966? Don't be ridiculous.
1:12:31
It's a quiz, is it?
1:12:33
1966, 23rd of March...?
1:12:35
Martin Luther King got shot?
Grace Kelly had a baby?
1:12:37
The war ended?
I don't know. I was seven.
1:12:41
- What were you doing?
- Your house burned down.
1:12:45
Did it?
1:12:46
The insurance company
refused to pay, didn't they?
1:12:49
- They said it was arson.
- Oh, you remember now?
1:12:55
- That it wasn't arson.
- Maybe, maybe not.
1:12:58
It wasn't arson. It was their excuse
because they didn't want to pay.
