:07:01
Well, he passed on. He was killed
in a motor accident in Italy.
:07:04
He was? Gee, that's too bad.
:07:07
- If there's anything l can do--
- l have good news for you, sir.
:07:12
Mr. Semple left a large fortune
when he died.
:07:15
He left it all to you.
:07:17
Deducting the taxes...
:07:18
it amounts to something in
the neighborhood of 20 million dollars.
:07:23
How about lunch?
Are the gentlemen staying?
:07:26
Of course.
:07:27
She's got some fresh orange layer cake
with that thick stuff on the top.
:07:31
Sure. They don't want
to go to the hotel.
:07:37
Perhaps you didn't hear
what l said, Mr. Deeds.
:07:40
The whole Semple fortune goes to you--
20 million dollars.
:07:44
Oh, yes, l heard you, all right.
Twenty million is quite a lot, isn't it?
:07:48
- It'll do in a pinch.
- Yes, indeed.
:07:51
l wonder why he left me all that money.
l don't need it.
:08:09
Mr. Cobb here
is an ex-newspaperman.
:08:11
Associated with your uncle
for many years, as a sort of buffer.
:08:14
Buffer?
:08:16
Yeah.
A glorified doormat.
:08:19
Rich people need someone to keep the
crowds away. The world's full of pests.
:08:22
Then there's the newspapers.
:08:24
One must know when to seek publicity
and when to avoid it.
:08:28
Cedar, Cedar, Cedar and Budington.
:08:31
l can't think
of a rhyme for "Budington."
:08:33
Why should you?
:08:35
Whenever l run across a funny name,
l like to poke around for a rhyme.
:08:38
- Don't you?
- No.
:08:42
- I've got one for Cobb.
- Yeah?
:08:45
There once was a man named Cobb
who kept Semple away from the mob.
:08:49
Came the turn of the tide
and Semple, he died.
:08:52
Now poor Cobb's out of a job.
:08:56
- Sounds like two weeks' notice to me.
- Huh?
:08:59
I've gotten the sackeroo in many ways,
but never in rhyme.
