Bing!

Bing. So did you turn pro with that whole belly-button thing Ned or-?

No, Phil, I sell insurance.

What a shock.

Ned, I'd love to stand here and talk with you...but I'm not going to. See you. [walks off]

Ned
[laughs]

That's okay! I'll walk with you! See, whenever I see an opportunity, I charge it like a bull. "Ned the Bull", that's me now. You know, I have friends who live and die by the actuarial tables and I say, "Hey! It's all one big crap-shoot anywho!" Tell me, have you ever heard of single premium life because I think that could really be the ticket for you. [stops walking] Oh, God! It is so good to see you! Tell me, what are you doing for dinner?

Something else. It's been great seeing you, "Needlehead". Take care. [steps off the curb into a deep, watery puddle]

Ned
[laughs obnoxiously]

Whoa-ho-ho! Watch out for that first step! It's a doozy!
