Boss: What the hell was that for I was just playing around?
Bill: Well I wasn’t (he throws his paper at his boss and it falls loose from his grip and his boss bends down to get it. While he is bent down Bill punches the back of his bosses head sending him straight to the floor.)

(Bill sits and thinks to himself about what he would be without his money. He daydreams and realizes that he wouldn’t really have anything.

Jeb: Well great job. Now the stock market crashed and we lost our inside trade with enroner the only stock still up!

Gurt: What do you mean
Bill: They are coming to take our house tomorrow along with the car.

(Bill sits in his car, his face sopping wet as he takes a few swigs of his drink. Bill started his car and drove away at this point it was about ten thirty at night. Bill once again starts thinking to himself about his life and he realized that his only good quality is that he used to have a lot of money. Now he realized that his worst fear is now reality. His foot pushes harder on the gas pedal. He finds that he hasn’t ever really been himself and he was rude to everyone. He realizes that he was made of money before but now he is gone and nothing was left for him. He pushes harder on the gas pedal. He sees the bum he had mistreated everyday on his way to work and he realizes that he is a terrible person. He crashes into a house at full speed instantly killing him. He figured that he would be better off dead. The funeral 2 days later was cancelled because nobody wanted to go.)
