:19:01
I'm glad to see you're
willing to be reasonable.
:19:04
If she was his wife, she should have
the money. l don't want a penny.
:19:07
Don't make any rash promises.
:19:09
Better go. That opera mob is about to
break into the mad song from Lucia.
:19:12
l don't wanna keep them waiting.
They're important people.
:19:15
- Very good, sir.
- l can't go down like this.
:19:18
l wish you'd go along with me, Cobb.
They're all strangers to me.
:19:21
- What about it, Mr. Deeds?
- Huh?
:19:24
Oh. You'll excuse me, won't you?
I'll be right back.
:19:34
Gee, I'm busy. Do the opera people
always come here for their meetings?
:19:37
- Uh-huh.
- That's funny. Why's that?
:19:39
Why do mice go
where there's cheese?
:19:43
I'm led to believe
the young man's quite childish.
:19:46
We won't have any difficulty
getting him to put up the entire amount.
:19:49
- After all, it's only $180,000.
- Excellent idea.
:19:52
We're very fortunate the young man
is so sympathetic toward music.
:19:56
He plays the tuba
in the town band.
:20:00
- Here he comes.
- Good.
:20:05
The first order of business will be
electing a new chairman of the board.
:20:10
As a sentimental gesture toward
the best friend that opera ever had--
:20:13
the late Mr. Semple--
:20:15
l think it only fitting that his nephew,
Mr. Longfellow Deeds...
:20:18
should be made our next chairman.
:20:20
- l therefore nominate him.
- Seconded.
:20:22
- All those in favor?
- Aye!
:20:25
Carried.
:20:27
Our congratulations, Mr. Deeds.
:20:29
- I'm chairman?
- Yes. You've just been elected.
:20:32
- I'm chairman!
- Happy voyage.
:20:35
Right here, Mr. Deeds.
:20:40
Now, the next order of business--
the reading of the secretary's minutes.
:20:43
- Move we dispense with it.
- Seconded.
:20:45
- All in favor?
- Aye!
:20:47
l think they can be
dispensed with.
:20:49
-We're ready for the treasurer's report.
-Move we dispense with it.
:20:52
- Seconded.
- All in favor.
:20:54
Quite right. Now, gentlemen,
the next order of business--
:20:57
Just a minute.
What does the chairman do?
