How come you can't walk?
Who says I can't?
Why are you in a wheelchair?
Can you keep a secret?
Even if they torture me.
I'm attempting to defraud the Liberty Mutual insurance conglomerate
out of a million dollars.
What's defraud?
Cheat, snooker, fleece, bamboozle.
So you can walk?
I can run.
But I have to be careful.
If those Liberty Mutual boys catch me
while I'm out for a quick jog, it's all over.
I can kiss that million bucks good-bye
and say hello to Yuma State Prison.
- You could go to jail? - Oh, yeah.
But what's jail?
As John Milton once said, "The mind is its own place."
So what do those Liberty Mutual boys look like?
- Suits. - Suits, huh?
I'll make you a deal.
You teach me about imagination,
and I'll keep a lookout.
That might be asking too much.
I can pay you, 34 dollars and 18 cents in cash.
I saved it up.
And what exactly would you want for your money?
I wanna know where stories come from.
you want a mentor.
A what?
You absolutely sure you want to set foot into such a mysterious realm?
I'm sure.
You may get lost in there and not be able to find your way back.
You said I'm fearless.
That I did.
- So, we got a deal? - My word is my bond.
Great. So, when's my first lesson?
You just had it.
I can't walk.
What do you mean?
I mean, I can't walk. I just made up a story.
- Really? - Really.
You're kind of a jerk.
- Did you picture me running? - Yeah.
Did you see those men in suits coming after me?
So did I.
That's imagination.
- But you- - Class dismissed.
- We'll have another lesson tomorrow. - Okay.
