Both of you very well, well be in touch arent you going to take exhibit a . Well, mrs. Hudson, youve told us the stole is yours and at the moment we have no legal evidence to the contrary. [doorbell ringing] mrs. Paula hudson . Yes . My name is jonas. I am the adjuster for the Indemnity Insurance company ive come about a fur piece that one of our clients has reported as missing. A crystal mink stole. Your client was less polite. She accused me of stealing it. Oh, de between ourselves, mrs. Wilson is a very tactless person, but she doesnt mean all she says. Maybe youre right, but dont think im going to anything to help mrs. Wilson. Im not asking you to. I am asking you to do something that would benefit my company and incidentally yourself. What is it . Well, its like this. Mrs. Wilsons stole is insured with us for 2000, and thats what well have to pay unless its returned to her. As i understand it you only paid 400 for that stole. Now rather than take a total loss, were willing to offer you 600 for it. Ill give you the cash, you give me the fur, and everybody will be satisfied. It isnt a question of money. This is my stole, i paid 400 for it and i intend to keep it. But youll be getting a 50 profit and no questions asked. What do you mean no questions asked . Dont be so defensive, mrs. Hudson.

A fulllength coat if you like, and it wont cost either of us a penny. You mean youd steal it . Why sure, only this time id be more careful. You see my kid was sick, i needed the money. I couldnt wait to mail the stole fence it here. Please, youve got to give it back to me. I cant the police will want to know what happened to it. Tell them you lost it, tell them anything. You dont realize position im in. The police already half suspect me of having stolen the fur. Theyre sure to be back to question me tomorrow. If it had suddenly disappeared, why theyll be certain something was wrong [telephone ringing] thats probably my husband. Please go well good luck to both of us. Hello well keep trying please.
