: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?
:34:00
Well, I write mine on order.
:34:02
The people l work for tell me
what they want, and then l write it.
:34:06
Amazing!
:34:08
Why, that's true genius.
:34:10
Have you any peculiar characteristics
when you're creating?
:34:15
Well, I-- l play the tuba.
:34:17
How original.
:34:19
Well, I've been playing the harmonica
for 40 years.
:34:22
Didn't do me a bit of good.
:34:26
You wouldn't have one
in your pocket, would you?
:34:29
What, a tuba?
:34:32
No, a postcard
with one of your poems on it.
:34:35
- Oh, no.
- You don't carry a pocketful with you?
:34:38
Oh, too bad. l was hoping
you'd autograph one for me.
:34:41
- l was too.
- Now wait a minute, boys.
:34:44
Perhaps Mr. Deeds
would recite one for us.
:34:47
That's a very good idea.
:34:49
Nothing like a poet
reciting his own stuff.
:34:51
How about a Mother's Day poem?
:34:53
Exactly. Give us one that rings
the great American heart.
:34:57
Yes. Go ahead.
:34:59
l get the idea. l know why
l was invited here-- to make fun of me.
