:43:09
Are you all comfortable?
:43:11
Let's get started, shall we?
:43:16
"I, Hiram Stokely...
:43:18
"being of sound mind and body..."
:43:21
Suppose I skip all the,
excuse the expression, dead stuff...
:43:26
What?
:43:27
...and get down to the bequests?
That's what you're waiting for.
:43:30
I happen to know everything that's
in this instrument...
:43:33
because I drew it up myself.
:43:35
All Mr. Stokely's earthly possessions
are to be divided up...
:43:38
among the four of us, share and share alike.
:43:42
Not bad.
:43:43
It would be a good deal better
if I knew where the money was.
:43:46
What?
:43:48
I'm trying to tell you,
the man had no bank accounts.
:43:52
As of this moment, the whereabouts
of the money is a complete mystery.
:43:57
Then why? Why did you have to drag me
all the way here from Lompoc?
:44:02
I hate to sound mercenary,
but can you give us an estimate?
:44:05
I can do even better than that.
I can tell you exactly.
:44:08
By cheating, horn-swoggling,
finagling, stealing...
:44:11
and perpetrating every knavery
known to man...
:44:14
the old horse thief accumulated
one million dollars!
:44:30
What happened?
:44:31
Nothing. Let's get on with it.
:44:41
Don't be scared. It's electric.
It was probably shorted by the storm.
