Something wrong with the clip?

Walter Neff:
You know, about six months ago, a guy slipped on a cake of soap in his bathtub, knocked himself cold, and was drowned. Only, he had accident insurance, so they had an autopsy, and she didn't get away with it
Phyllis:
Who didn't?
Walter Neff:
His wife. Then there was the case of the guy who was found shot. His wife said he was cleaning his gun and his stomach got in the way. All she got was a 3-to-10 stretch in Tehachapi
[a California women's prison]
Walter Neff:
.
Phyllis:
[Wearily]
Perhaps it was worth it to her.

Hello, Keyes.
00:00:08.661 --> 00:00:11.288
- What's on your mind?
- That broken leg.
00:00:11.083 --> 00:00:14.917
- The guy had a broken leg.
- What are you talking about?
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.546
Talking about Dietrichson. He had
accident insurance, didn't he?
00:00:18.796 --> 00:00:20.881
- Yeah.
- Then he broke his leg, didn't he?
00:00:20.965 --> 00:00:22.841
- So what?
- And he didn't put in a claim.
00:00:22.967 --> 00:00:26.072
- Why didn't he put in a claim? Why?
- What are you driving at?
00:00:26.887 --> 00:00:31.684
Walter, I had dinner two hours
ago and it stuck half way.
00:00:31.767 --> 00:00:33.435
That little man of yours
is acting up again, huh?
00:00:33.519 --> 00:00:35.854
There's something wrong
with the Dietrichson case.
00:00:35.938 --> 00:00:39.733
Why? Because he didn't file a claim?
Maybe he just didn't have time.
00:00:39.817 --> 00:00:42.082
Maybe he just didn't know that
he was insured.
00:00:44.989 --> 00:00:46.049
No. No, that couldn't be it.
00:00:46.574 --> 00:00:48.742
You delivered the policy
to him personally, didn't you?
00:00:48.826 --> 00:00:49.868
- Yeah.
- You got his check?
00:00:49.952 --> 00:00:51.012
Sure I did.
00:00:51.912 --> 00:00:54.832
- Got any bicarbonate of soda?
- No, I haven't.
00:00:55.583 --> 00:00:59.253
Walter, I've been living with
this little man for 26 years.
00:00:59.795 --> 00:01:02.423
And he's never failed me yet.
There's got to be something wrong.
00:01:02.506 --> 00:01:04.925
Well, maybe Norton was right.
Maybe it was suicide.
00:01:05.003 --> 00:01:06.999
No. Not suicide.
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:10.264
- But not an accident, either.
- What else?
00:01:10.806 --> 00:01:12.005
Now look, Walter.
00:01:12.004 --> 00:01:15.002
A guy takes out an accident
policy that's worth $100,000..
00:01:15.001 --> 00:01:16.001
If he's killed on a train.
00:01:16.027 --> 00:01:18.001
Then two weeks later,
he is killed on a train.
00:01:18.023 --> 00:01:22.999
And not in a train accident, mind you, but
falling off some silly observation oar.
00:01:22.318 --> 00:01:24.999
Do you know what the mathematical
probability of that is?
00:01:25.996 --> 00:01:27.999
One out of I don't know how many billions.
