:17:00
I mean about
the power of attorney.
:17:02
Oh, yes, I will.
I'll give it a lot of thought.
:17:05
A fellow named Winslow here wanted
to handle my business for nothing too.
:17:10
Puzzles me why they want
to work for nothing. It isn't natural.
:17:14
I'd better think about it some more.
:17:16
That's that.
:17:19
You go to an awful lot of work
to keep a fella warm.
:17:22
- Yes, sir.
- A Mr Hallor to see you, sir.
:17:25
- Hallor? Don't let him in.
- Why not? Who's he?
:17:29
A lawyer representing a woman.
A claim against the estate.
:17:32
If he has a claim, we'd better see him.
Send him in.
:17:36
He'll cause you a lot of trouble.
:17:38
How can he make trouble for me?
I haven't done anything.
:17:41
- I told you to take this up with me.
- I'm tired of being pushed around.
:17:45
I don't care how important you are.
:17:47
- I represent Mrs Semple.
- Mrs Semple?
:17:49
Your uncle's common-law wife
has a claim.
:17:52
- Let the courts decide...
- You wouldn't dare take this to court.
:17:56
I'll leave it to you. Would any court
not be in sympathy with a woman
:18:00
who gave up her best years
for your uncle?
:18:03
- What kind of wife did you say?
- Common-law wife.
:18:06
- On top of that, there's a child.
- Child? My uncle?
:18:09
Yes, sir.
:18:10
That's awful.
She should be taken care of.
:18:13
Glad to see you're willing
to be reasonable.
:18:16
As his wife, she should have the money.
I don't want it...
:18:19
Don't make any rash promises.
:18:21
That opera mob is about to break
into the mad song from Lucia.
:18:24
I don't wanna keep them waiting.
:18:26
- Very good, sir.
- I can't go down like this.
:18:30
Go along with me, Cobb.
They're strangers to me.
:18:32
- What about it, Mr Deeds?
- Huh?
:18:35
Oh. You'll excuse me, won't you?
I'll be right back.
:18:45
Do the opera people always
come here for meetings?
:18:48
- Uh-huh.
- Why's that?
:18:50
Why do mice go
where there's cheese?
:18:53
I'm led to believe
the young man's quite childish.
:18:56
We'll have no difficulty
getting the entire amount.
:18:59
- After all, it's only $180,000.
- Excellent idea.
