:06:02
- Mr. Longfellow Deeds?
- Yes.
:06:05
How do you do?
:06:07
I'm John Cedar, of the New York firm
of Cedar, Cedar, Cedar and Budington.
:06:16
Budington must feel
like an awful stranger.
:06:20
- Mr. Cornelius Cobb. Mr. Anderson.
- How do you do?
:06:24
You gentlemen
make yourselves comfortable.
:06:26
Thank you.
:06:29
Thanks.
:06:31
New mouthpiece.
Been waitin' two weeks for this.
:06:35
Kids keep swiping them all the time.
They use 'em for bean shooters.
:06:41
- What can l do for you gentlemen?
- You gentlemen going to stay to lunch?
:06:44
- I'd like to ask you a few questions.
- All right.
:06:47
- Are you Joseph and Mary Deeds' son?
- Yes.
:06:50
- Your parents living?
- Why, no.
:06:52
Well, Mr. Deeds, does the name of
Martin W. Semple mean anything to you?
:06:56
Not much.
He's an uncle of mine, l think.
:06:58
l never saw him.
My mother's name was Semple.
:07:01
Well, he passed on. He was killed
in a motor accident in Italy.
:07:04
He was? Gee, that's too bad.
:07:07
- If there's anything l can do--
- l have good news for you, sir.
:07:12
Mr. Semple left a large fortune
when he died.
:07:15
He left it all to you.
:07:17
Deducting the taxes...
:07:18
it amounts to something in
the neighborhood of 20 million dollars.
:07:23
How about lunch?
Are the gentlemen staying?
:07:26
Of course.
:07:27
She's got some fresh orange layer cake
with that thick stuff on the top.
:07:31
Sure. They don't want
to go to the hotel.
:07:37
Perhaps you didn't hear
what l said, Mr. Deeds.
:07:40
The whole Semple fortune goes to you--
20 million dollars.
:07:44
Oh, yes, l heard you, all right.
Twenty million is quite a lot, isn't it?
:07:48
- It'll do in a pinch.
- Yes, indeed.
:07:51
l wonder why he left me all that money.
l don't need it.
