DOUBLE TRANSACTION
TWO MEN face each other. Both have counters in front of them.
MAN 1
Sir, may I help you with a purchase?
MAN 2
Only if I may help YOU with a purchase. You see, I sell hats.
MAN 1
And I sell supplemental life insurance.
MAN 2
Very nice. I do love the term "supplemental." One could say
that hats are supplemental. Certainly not required but they do add something
when your fashion needs demand "more."
MAN 1
Of course. And "demanding more" is something we should all do
of our life insurance policies, because aren't our families worth more
protection?
MAN 2
They are. Just as our fragile scalps are worth more
protection from the sun -- I'm speaking of course directly about hats.
MAN 1
Speaking directly is tough when considering your own
mortality, but picking the right life insurance requires practical thinking.
MAN 2
Just like when choosing a conservative straw fedora over a
more outlandish felt bowler -- folliwng your instincts.
MAN 1
Follow your instincts to a policy that increases the amount
your beneficiaries can claim up to 20%! I'm referring to life insurance.
MAN 2
Referrals get 10% discount in my store! I always honor them!
MAN 1
Honorable is the man who prepares for the tragic.
MAN 2
Tragic is the man who will not look honorable!
MAN 1
Buy life insurance!
MAN 2
Buy a hat!
MAN 1 and MAN 2
I'll take it!
BOTH MEN AWKWARDLY PULL THEIR COUNTERS AWAY.
