Double Indemnity
Welling was hitting on the insurance claim. - Turned out the pilot had some kind of double indemnity working in his favour. Hate to say it, Senator, everything appears to be in order. We have to pay out.
Shoot, said Davis. The fucker’s dead.
Don’t make any difference, Mr Davis. It’s written in black and white.
Well, that’s the first time I ever heard you have to pay out to a dead fucker in a case like this. – (Chuckling like Edward G Robinson) – Must be that damn box, put a jinx on us.
The Senator whose mind was elsewhere (the louche figure reclining in the armchair appeared to have in his hand a flight manual. And what was he doing with that?) said eventually:
Paul, I believe we have to be in another meeting.
Right you are, Frank. It’s the Cricketers. They want us all in the clubhouse by ten.
When they got up to go, the louche figure was still sitting there with the flight manual in his hand.
