He turns to Tom and Tom confirms this and Lord Howe-Greene, extremely puzzled and surprised, wants to know how. Roland then goes on to describe a scene of how people are blown to death in Chicago, along Michigan Avenue. (Fade out.)
INSERT—Animated Cartoon. (Fade in.) Michigan Avenue. People are being blown down the Avenue and slammed up against walls where they mash out flat. Some of them are blown over and over and some of them are rolling like barrels. (Fade out.)
Roland finishes his tale about Chicago, and Tom agrees with him, shaking his head and saying: "It is indeed a terrible sight to see this thing that Roland just described!" Lord Howe-Greene shows great distress, and shakes his head again and exclaims:
SP: "MY WORD!"
Roland looks over at Tom and gives him a wink. Tom gives Roland the high sign and the two of them feel that things are going fine when suddenly Lord Howe-Greene scratches his head and gets a brilliant idea. He then tells Roland that he has just the place for him and says:
SP: "I HAVE A COUSIN—A REAL ESTATE AGENT IN LOS ANGELES—WHO WRITES ME THAT THE CLIMATE IS SO SALUBRIOUS THAT EVERY ONE LIVES TO A RIPE OLD AGE."
Roland looks at Lord Howe-Greene in astonishment, feeling that he has been stuck at last. Lord Howe-Greene then pats him on the shoulder and says:
SP: "THAT'S THE PLACE FOR YOU, MY BOY!"
Roland looks genuinely alarmed and turns to Tom for aid, but Tom himself is pretty much stumped at this. Lord Howe-Greene feeling that their problem has been settled, says that that's exactly the place and everything will be fine. Roland stalls, does some quick, heavy thinking, finally gets an idea, and says: "Lord Howe-Greene, that's exactly where you're wrong."
SP: "THE TROUBLE OUT THERE IS THAT PEOPLE NEVER DIE. THEY WON'T BUY INSURANCE!"
