:16:01
Besides wanting to be my lawyer,
you want to handle my investments?
:16:06
- Yes. That is to say...
- How much extra would it cost?
:16:10
- No extra charge.
- That's a lot of extra work.
:16:13
But that's a service Cedar, Cedar,
Cedar & Budington usually donates.
:16:18
Budington. I can't think of a rhyme
for Budington yet.
:16:22
The gentlemen from the opera
are still waiting in the boardroom.
:16:26
They're getting a trifle impatient.
:16:28
I forgot. What do they want?
:16:30
Your uncle was chairman.
They expect you to carry on.
:16:33
I'll tell them to keep their shirts on
and that you'll be down.
:16:36
Oh, did you send that telegram
to Jim Mason yet?
:16:39
Jim Mason? Oh, yeah, yeah.
:16:41
No, I didn't send it. I've got it
written out, though. Here it is.
:16:45
"Arthur's been with the tallow works
too long.
:16:47
" Don't think we should fire him.
Longfellow."
:16:50
Send it. I don't want him to fire Arthur.
:16:53
Sure, we don't want to fire Arthur.
:16:55
Arthur was the last baby
my father delivered.
:16:57
You ought to give this matter
some thought.
:17:00
I mean about
the power of attorney.
:17:02
Oh, yes, I will.
I'll give it a lot of thought.
:17:05
A fellow named Winslow here wanted
to handle my business for nothing too.
:17:10
Puzzles me why they want
to work for nothing. It isn't natural.
:17:14
I'd better think about it some more.
:17:16
That's that.
:17:19
You go to an awful lot of work
to keep a fella warm.
:17:22
- Yes, sir.
- A Mr Hallor to see you, sir.
:17:25
- Hallor? Don't let him in.
- Why not? Who's he?
:17:29
A lawyer representing a woman.
A claim against the estate.
:17:32
If he has a claim, we'd better see him.
Send him in.
:17:36
He'll cause you a lot of trouble.
:17:38
How can he make trouble for me?
I haven't done anything.
:17:41
- I told you to take this up with me.
- I'm tired of being pushed around.
:17:45
I don't care how important you are.
:17:47
- I represent Mrs Semple.
- Mrs Semple?
:17:49
Your uncle's common-law wife
has a claim.
:17:52
- Let the courts decide...
- You wouldn't dare take this to court.
:17:56
I'll leave it to you. Would any court
not be in sympathy with a woman
