:06:03
- Mr Cornelius Cobb. Mr Anderson.
- How do you do?
:06:07
You gentlemen
make yourselves comfortable.
:06:09
Thank you.
:06:11
Thanks.
:06:14
New mouthpiece.
Been waitin' two weeks for this.
:06:18
Kids keep swiping them all the time.
They use 'em for bean shooters.
:06:23
- What can I do for you?
- Will you stay to lunch?
:06:26
- I'd like to ask you a few questions.
- All right.
:06:29
- Are you Joseph and Mary Deeds' son?
- Yes.
:06:31
- Your parents living?
- Why, no.
:06:33
Well, Mr Deeds, does the name of
Martin W Semple mean anything to you?
:06:37
Not much. He's my uncle, I think.
:06:39
I never saw him.
My mother's name was Semple.
:06:42
Well, he passed on. He was killed
in a motor accident in Italy.
:06:45
He was? Gee, that's too bad.
:06:48
- If there's anything I can do...
- I have good news for you, sir.
:06:53
Mr Semple left a large fortune
when he died. He left it all to you.
:06:57
Deducting the taxes,
:06:59
it amounts to something in
the neighbourhood of $20 million.
:07:04
How about lunch?
Are the gentlemen staying?
:07:06
Of course.
:07:07
She's got some fresh orange layer cake
with that thick stuff on the top.
:07:11
Sure. They don't want
to go to the hotel.
:07:17
Perhaps you didn't hear
what I said, Mr Deeds.
:07:20
The whole Semple fortune goes to you.
$20 million.
:07:24
Oh, yes, I heard you, all right.
Twenty million is quite a lot.
:07:27
- It'll do in a pinch.
- Yes, indeed.
:07:30
I wonder why he left me all that money.
I don't need it.
:07:47
Mr Cobb is an ex-newspaperman.
:07:49
Associated with your uncle
for many years, as a buffer.
:07:52
Buffer?
:07:54
Yeah. A glorified doormat.
:07:57
Rich people need someone to keep away
the crowds. Then there's the newspapers.
