:16:11
The first time l ever
had a suit made on purpose.
:16:18
It's merely a suggestion, Mr. Deeds...
:16:21
but if you'll give me power of attorney,
we'll take care of everything.
:16:24
It'll save you a lot of annoyances.
Everyone will try to sell you something.
:16:28
There have been a lot of them already.
Strangest kind of people.
:16:31
Salesmen, politicians, moochers.
All want something.
:16:33
Haven't had a minute to myself.
Haven't seen Grant's tomb yet.
:16:36
Your uncle didn't bother with that sort
of thing. He left everything to us.
:16:39
He traveled, enjoyed himself.
:16:41
You should do the same thing.
:16:44
Besides wanting to be my lawyer...
:16:46
you want to handle
my investments too?
:16:48
- Yes. That is to say--
- How much extra would it cost?
:16:53
- No extra charge.
- That's a lot of extra work.
:16:56
But that's a service Cedar, Cedar,
Cedar and Budington usually donates.
:17:01
Budington.
:17:03
l can't think of a rhyme
for Budington yet.
:17:05
The gentlemen from the opera are
still waiting in the board room, sir.
:17:09
They're getting a trifle impatient.
:17:11
l forgot about them.
What do you think they want?
:17:13
Your uncle was chairman of the board.
They probably expect you to carry on.
:17:16
I'll tell those mugs to keep their
shirts on and that you'll be right down.
:17:20
Oh, did you send that telegram
to Jim Mason yet?
:17:23
Jim Mason?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
:17:25
No, l didn't send it. I've got it
written out, though. Here it is.
:17:29
"Arthur's been with the tailor works
too long. Stop.
:17:32
Don't think we should fire him.
Longfellow."
:17:35
Send it right away.
l don't want him to fire Arthur.
:17:37
Sure, we don't want to fire Arthur.
:17:39
He was the last baby
my father delivered, Arthur was.
:17:42
You ought to give this matter
some thought.
:17:45
l mean about
the power of attorney.
:17:47
Oh, yes, l will.
I'll give it a lot of thought.
:17:50
There was a fellow named Winslow
here a while ago...
:17:53
wanted to handle my business
for nothing too.
:17:56
Puzzles me why these people want
to work for nothing. It isn't natural.
:17:59
l guess I'd better
think about it some more.
