Meyerwitz loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead
at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue
playing standing up.
Finklestien looks around and asks, "So, who's gonna tell his wife?"
They cut the cards. Goldberg picks the two of clubs and has to deliver
the news.
They tell him to be discreet, gentle. Don't make a bad situation
worse. "Discreet? I 'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet.
Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me."
Goldberg goes over to the Meyerwitz apartment and knocks on the door.
The wife opens the door and asks what he wants. Goldberg declares,
"Your husband just lost $500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home."
"Tell him to drop dead!" says the wife.
"I'll go tell him." says Goldberg
