Jeannie finds uncut diamonds Eddie has sprinkled around. Charles confides that gems wash up with the tide. As a favor to Tony, he swaps the land for the scarab. Sure he is now rich, Charles tells off Vanderhaven, who fires him and cuts him out of his will. Jeannie is crestfallen when Tony tells her she was taken by the world's greatest con man, but consoles her with the diamonds she got out of the deal. Jeannie pops into Charles' cabin with a suitcase full of diamonds. She reports that huge gems are coming faster than trucks can haul the away. Charles insists on swapping back the scarab for the lead. Then Eddie finds Jeannie's diamonds are chocolates. Later, Jeannie and Tony lunch with Vanderhaven, served by Charles, now forever a slave to his boss. Touching her pin, Jeannie remarks that Charles is the second greatest con artist in the world. watch

Her laugh is as legendary as her one-liners. A cross between Burgess Meredith as the Penguin and Sesame Street's Count, Phyllis Diller's signature cackle cracks up anyone within earshot. Unfortunately, it's impossible to hear (or even spell) in print, which is one of the many reasons why you should see Goodnight, We Love You, a loving and revealing documentary about the groundbreaking comedian that arrives on DVD today. In between riotous clips from her 2002 farewell concert, Diller offers an unprecedented peek at her private life and her outrageous wardrobe. TVGuide.com joked with the octogenarian stand-up about her five decades in showbiz, her plastic surgery and her ill-fated Playboy spread. TVGuide.com: Hello, Ms. Diller? Phyllis Diller: Hello, Raven?
