He asks his boss at the newspaper for a raise, and learns he'll get one if he moves to Cleveland for four months of special training. The boss gives him an advance, so he decides to soften up his family by getting them what they want before he tells of the move. His vague references to "going away" along with getting spotted near a cord dangling close to his head in the shape of a noose, and then, fixing a stove's pilot light by climbing in the broiler, convince them that he's attempting suicide so they'll receive his life insurance money.
