DONOGHUE HOMER: We're very sorry for your loss.
CAROL LOVE-SMERNITCH: Thank you.
HOMER: Well, let me start, please.
Um, Floyd Smernitch held a life insurance policy
we've discovered.
♪ (SONG CONCLUDES) ♪
And it pays out to you,
one million, one hundred thousand.
CAROL: Can you speak up, please?
-I'm sorry? -Can you speak up?
No one can hear you.
(LOUDER) There was a policy.
Okay.
Uh, payable to you.
Okay.
And you had stated previously, you stated to Detective Plumb
that you knew nothing about this policy.
I knew of no such policy. No.
No way, Jose.
I mean, we had to prioritize our expenses,
and a life insurance plan
would not have been a priority for us at that time.
No way, Jose.
So, the fact that, indeed, Floyd Smernitch's life
was insured, as the state learned this morning,
that's been a surprise to you?
Totally. I mean, I'm like, "Oh my God, what?"
You know, like, "Oh, what?"
Floyd Smernitch never discussed it?
No.
No, I would not have been on board with that.
No way, Jose.
"No way, Jose"?
Yeah, that was the thing that Floyd and I used to say to each other.
Like a cute thing, you know?
Like, uh, he would say, "Can we get a new TV?"
And I would say, "No way, Jose."
You know? Or like,
"Can we get that martial arts pay-per-view show?"
And I would say, "No way, Jose."
It was just like my cute way of saying
that there was not going to be a discussion
because of our priorities.
Which were mortgage,
and school expenses, and household-ish expenses,
and medications, and groceries, okay, and stuff.
And then there wasn't really any money after that.
It's like I was trying to get us out of debt,
but it was, like, fucking impossible.
Come on, you know?
I'm sorry.
Uh, I'm sorry, it's F-ing impossible.
I'm sorry if I used the wrong word there.
Just that...
It's just F-ing hard to get out from under, you know?
It's like, you know, everybody has some at first.
And you think, "Oh, well, I'll get a raise or a promotion,
and we'll counterbalance it," you know,
like a fresh start, of course. And...
And then they just don't come.
And so then you're left kind of trying
to prioritize from then on, and it's...
You just know that you're going to have to say "no way, Jose"
to a lot of things for the rest of your life.
And a life insurance policy was one of those things for us.

in the closet, where I experience...
Uh, it's just we talked about it.
I was just hoping that maybe...

Sharing this experience this summer has been--
it's not-- not always been easy for me.
And, um,
I didn't... I didn't always feel like Floyd.
Sometimes, I felt like...
Like praying?
No, it's a sign.
For "small."
I feel small.
I told myself that we were,
all three of us, just sharing this experience
this summer, but that's...
I mean, we weren't all really sharing.
You two were sh... were sharing.
But if Clark can be there with you and me
in the old ways, and I can be full on,
and Clark can experience that,
then it can be like we were
all sharing an experience this summer,
and I won't feel those closet feelings,
and I can be full on.
And with the,
you know, Amphezyne and self-respect
and, you know,
I think it would be good for Clark, too.
-In what way? -FLOYD: In the way that, like,
I worry that he-- I mean, do you ever...
Do you ever worry, or do you feel bad
that you're making me feel small or insignificant
because you're sleeping with my wife?
Yeah. Yes. I mean, I... Yeah.
It's a totally normal way to think about it.
FLOYD: Yeah, so it'd be good for you, too.
For your self-esteem. You know?
Because I don't want you to feel bad
that you're making me feel small.
This could be something that's just an experience
that we all share,
and then you could feel good about it.
You're the sweetest guy.
That's why I fell in love with you.
There's no one anywhere like you.

All right, can you guys not do that, please?
-FLOYD: What? -(SIGHS)
It's just, with your hands,
I can't understand what you're saying.
It's rude.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Yeah.
-What's Amphezyne? -For my guy.
CAROL: For your guy, how?
FLOYD: For my guy. Get full on.
But you take blood thinners for your curve,
so is that okay?
Mm, when the dose is...
What if the dose is bigger?

FLOYD: Uh, we... we didn't have any lemonade mix.
Um, so I thought I'd just,

But then we didn't have any lemons.
Or sugar.

Yeah, I guess I did.
Aren't you Head of Special Crimes in Twyla?

Then you could do that. Just like that.
