This is the bit where George Bailey has come to his enemy, the evil banker Potter, to beg for a loan - and when Potter finds that George has a $500 life-insurance policy he tells him: "Why, you're worth more dead than alive!" (Although I very much doubt that the insurance company would've paid out if Clarence the angel hadn't intervened in George's subsequent suicide attempt.)

I put them in this order so Bonnie's "Sweet JESUS!" would be a comment on the despicable pair in the RT song.
@ tfd - I'm looking forward to listening to these later. Meanwhile. it's probably just DarceysDad and me who would react this way to reading your post, but I now have the magnificent Wonderful Life by Black playing in my head.
I'll listen later.
