Roland is rather pleased with himself for thinking up this and Tom congratulates him on it, smiling his approbation. Lord Howe-Greene can hardly believe this angle of the situation, says he doesn't think that's possible. Roland, realizing that he has got to spike this says:
SP: "WHY, I TRIED TO SELL INSURANCE OUT THERE ONCE AND WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED?"
Lord Howe-Greene is interested and wants to know what did happen to him. Tom looks rather quizzically at Roland, feeling that he is getting out beyond his depth. Roland clears his throat and starts in to describe what happened. (Fade out.)
45. FRONT OF BUNGALOW IN LOS ANGELES. (Fade in.)
Three men with white whiskers to their waist are playing leap-frog on the lawn. Roland comes down the street, approaches one with an insurance circular in his hand and asks if he could interest him in some insurance. The old fellow says:
SP: "NO, I DON'T WANT ANY INSURANCE, BUT YOU MIGHT SEE PA."
Roland is surprised that a man of his age should have a father and asks where he is. The old fellow points to the front door of the bungalow and says:
SP: "HE'S HELPING GRANDPA CARRY THE PIANO UP IN GRANDMA'S ROOM."
Roland can hardly believe his ears at this and says: "What?" The old man nods and says:
SP: "YES, GRANDMA IS GOING TO TAKE MUSIC LESSONS."
