"'I play the tuba to help me think.'
:38:05
This is one of the many startling
statements made by Longfellow Deeds...
:38:08
New York's new Cinderella Man...
:38:10
who went out last night to prove
that his uncle, the late M.W. Semple...
:38:13
from whom he inherited
20 million dollars...
:38:15
was an amateur in the art of standing
the town on its cauliflower ear."
:38:20
"Cinderella Man."
That's sensational, Babe, sensational.
:38:24
Took some high-powered acting,
believe me.
:38:26
- Did it?
- I was the world's sweetest ingenue.
:38:28
Is he really that big a sap?
:38:31
He's the original.
There are no carbon copies of that one.
:38:34
"Cinderella Man." That'll stick to him
for the rest of his life.
:38:38
Can you imagine Cobb's face
when he reads this?
:38:42
If we could sell tickets,
we'd make a fortune.
:38:44
- How'd you get the picture?
- Had the boys follow us.
:38:47
Marvelous.
:38:48
"At 2:00 a.m.
Mr. Deeds tied up traffic...
:38:50
while he fed a bagful of donuts
to a horse.
:38:55
When asked why he was doing it
he replied...
:38:57
'To see how many donuts the horse would
eat before he asked for some coffee."'
:39:06
Beautiful!
What happened after that?
:39:08
l don't know. l had to write the story.
He was so drunk he never even missed me.
:39:12
When are you gonna see him again?
:39:15
Tonight, maybe.
:39:16
I'll phone him at noon--
my lunch hour.
:39:19
I'm a stenographer, you know.
Mary Dawson.
:39:21
You're a genius, Babe, a genius.
:39:24
I even moved into
MabeI Dawson's apartment...
:39:26
in case old snoopy Cobb
might start looking around.
:39:28
Good. Stay there.
Don't show your face down here.
:39:31
I'll say you're on vacation. No one will
know where the stories are coming from.
:39:35
Stick close to him. You can get
an exclusive out of him every day.
:39:39
We'll have the other papers crazy.
:39:41
- Babe, l could kiss ya!
- Oh, no. No.
:39:44
- Our deal was for a month's vacation.
- Sure.
:39:47
- With pay.
- You'll get it, Babe.
:39:52
Mr. Deeds, sir.
:39:54
You really must get up.
It's late.
:39:57
- You're Walter, aren't you?
- Yes, sir.
:39:59
Just wanted to make sure.
