Hey, Phil? Phil! Phil Connors? Phil Connors, I thought that was you!<br />[thinking Ned's just a watcher of the local news]<br />Phil: Hi, how you doing? Thanks for watching.<br />[Starts to walk away]</p><p>Ned: Hey, hey! Now, don't you tell me you don't remember me because I sure as heckfire remember you.<br />[bemused]<br />Phil: Not a chance.<br />Ned: Ned...<br />[takes off his hat revealing his completely bald head]</p><p>Ned: Ryerson. "Needlenose Ned"? "Ned the Head"? C'mon, buddy. Case Western High. Ned Ryerson: I did the whistling belly-button trick at the high school talent show? Bing! Ned Ryerson: got the shingles real bad senior year, almost didn't graduate? Bing, again. Ned Ryerson: I dated your sister Mary Pat a couple times until you told me not to anymore? Well?<br />[not even a smidgen of recognition]<br />Phil: Ned Ryerson?<br />Ned: Bing!<br />Phil: Bing. So did you turn pro with that bellybutton thing, Ned?<br />Ned: No, Phil, I sell insurance.<br />[deadpan]<br />Phil: What a shock.<br />Ned: Do you have life insurance? Because if you do you could always use a little more. Am I right or am I right or am I right? Right? Right?<br />[feigning politeness and failing]<br />Phil: Ned, I'd love to stand here and talk with you... but I'm not going to. See you.<br />[laughs]<br />Ned: That's okay! I'll walk with you!<br />[does so, to Phil's annoyance]</p><p>Ned: 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.<br />[stops Phil in admiration]</p><p>Ned: Oh, God! It is so good to see you! Tell me, what are you doing for dinner?<br />Phil: Something else. It's been great seeing you, "Needlehead". Take care.<br />[Phil steps off the curb into a deep, watery puddle. Ned laughs obnoxiously]</p><p>Ned: Whoa-ho-ho! Watch out for that first step! It's a doozy!<br />[as Ned continues to cackle, Phil stomps away]</p> ]]></description> <dc:creator>Michael Lamb</dc:creator> </item>
