:04:00
Don't get rough, neighbor.
Just ask.
:04:03
Then please pretend, for just one
fleeting moment, that I'm asking.
:04:07
- Where does he reside?
- Who?
:04:12
Longfellow Deeds.
Where does he live?
:04:14
Oh, that's what you want. Why didn't
you say so in the first place?
:04:19
Those fellows don't know what they're
talking about. I'll take you there.
:04:23
If they'd only explained to me
what they want, there'd be no trouble.
:04:31
Oh. Will you come in,
please, gentlemen?
:04:34
- Is Mr. Deeds in?
- No.
:04:36
He's over to the park arranging a bazaar
to raise money for the fire engine.
:04:40
Mal, you should've knowed
he was in the park.
:04:42
Knowed it all the time,
but they wanted to see the house.
:04:44
Can't read their minds
if they don't say what they want.
:04:48
Come in, please.
:04:49
- Can l get you a cup of tea?
- No, thank you.
:04:52
Sit down. Sure l couldn't get you
a glass of lemonade or something?
:04:55
No.
That's very kind of you.
:04:57
- Are you related to him?
- No, I'm his housekeeper.
:05:00
We'd like to find out something
about him. What does he do for a living?
:05:03
He and Jim Mason own the tailor works,
but that's not how he makes his money.
:05:07
- He makes most of it from his poetry.
- He writes poetry?
:05:11
Oh, my goodness, yes.
Longfellow's famous.
:05:14
He writes all those things
on postcards.
:05:16
You know, for Christmas
and Easter and birthdays.
:05:20
Sit down, please.
:05:21
Here's one.
He got 25 dollars for this one.
:05:25
"When you've nowhere to turn
and you're filled with doubt...
:05:28
don't stand in midstream hesitating...
:05:31
for you know that your mother's heart
cries out--
:05:34
'I'm waiting, my boy, I'm waiting."'
:05:38
Isn't that beautiful?
Isn't it a lovely sentiment?
:05:41
Yeah.
:05:44
Here he is now.
:05:50
l suggest you break it to him gently.
He's liable to keel over from the shock.
:05:53
They've been waiting a long while.
:05:56
- Who are they?
- I don't know.
