Waiter.
:32:03
- Has anybody come in yet?
- Uh, no. Nobody important.

:32:06
Be sure and point them out to me.
:32:09
I'm a writer myself, you know.
l write poetry.

:32:18
Well...
:32:19
you've been having quite
an exciting time, haven't you?

:32:22
With all these meetings,
business deals, society people...

:32:26
haven't you been having fun?
:32:27
No.
:32:29
That is, I didn't until I met you.
l like talking to you though.

:32:33
Imagine my finding you
right on my doorstep.

:32:36
- Brookfield's just come in.
- Who? The poet? Where?

:32:40
Over at that big round table.
The one that looks like a poodle.

:32:45
Look, there's Brookfield,
the poet.

:32:48
Really?
:32:51
Pardon.
:32:53
Longfellow Deeds, who just inherited
the Semple fortune, wants to meet you.

:32:57
Oh, yes. l read about him.
He writes poetry on postcards.

:33:00
Let's invite him over.
Might get a couple of laughs.

:33:03
Getting rather dull around here.
:33:05
It's always dull here.
:33:06
- I'll get him.
- Good.

:33:12
Mr. Henneberry.
Mr. Morrow. Bill.

:33:14
This is Mr. Deeds and his fiancee
from Mandrake Falls.

:33:18
How do you do, Mr. Deeds?
:33:22
Nice of you to ask us
to come and sit with you.

:33:25
Back home we never get a chance
to meet famous people.

:33:28
- Waiter, a little service here.
- Yes, a drink for Mr. Deeds.

:33:32
- l don't want it, thank you.
- You must. All poets drink.

:33:35
Tell me, Mr. Deeds,
how do you go about writing your poems?

:33:38
We craftsmen are very interested
in one another's methods.

:33:41
Do you have to wait for an inspiration,
or do you just dash it off?

:33:45
- Well, I--
- Morrow just dashes them off.

:33:48
Yeah. That's what my publishers
have been complaining about.

:33:54
Well, your readers don't complain,
Mr. Morrow.

:33:57
Oh. Thanks.
:33:58
How about you, Mr. Deeds?
