"Oh, boy, am I hungry." "Am I gonna give a big steak a good home." " They got me." " What?" "Oh, the score card." "I can't read nothing on it but the date." "Oh, it's in French." "Oh, well, let's order the whole thing." "Maybe there's a steak among it." "[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]" "[IN ENGLISH] Yes, sir." "Consommé, chicken and fried potatoes." "[IN ENGLISH] Talk French, you chump, and talk it loud." "[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]" "When did you learn how to talk this monkey jabber?" "[IN ENGLISH] I used to have 10 percent of a French dame." "[CHATTERING]" "All right, so why?" "It's a game." "What for?" "Listen, stupid." "The guys in the white shirts are playing against the guys in the red." "Each team is trying to knock the ball through the other team's goal." "Get it?" " Then what?" " Oh, shut up." "Oh, boy, there's that dame again." "Gee, I wish I could find out some way of getting properly introduced." "You've been beefing about that since last night." "Why don't you give up?" "Leave it, leave it." "Oh, come on, let's scram." "This game's dead." "There ain't no excitement." "[WHISTLE BLOWS]" "Let's hop into town and pick up a couple of waitresses." "I didn't come out here to hustle any waitresses." "First-class or nothing." "They won't come near you." "They won't even give you a tumble." "Yeah, they walk around us like we have smallpox." "Forty-five bucks a day and they high-hat you." " They wouldn't let you in the golf club, huh?" " Who said they wouldn't?" "Just so happens that one of the gazebos on membership committee is out of town." "When will he be back?" "Well, they ain't so sure about that." "He's in Europe or something." " Europe, huh?" " Yeah." "You're gonna get in?" "Why, sure, I'm gonna get in." "That's a cinch." "We could get up to Frisco and back before that guy comes home from Europe." "Now, there's a great town, that Frisco." "Wide-open." "Good eats, good liquor and just crawling with beautiful, friendly dames." "And little Hymie give me a couple of good addresses." "I wonder how long a guy could stay drunk if he really tried." "Okay, we'll drive up there tomorrow and find out." "Whoopee!" "Make out like you don't know me." "Boy, am I glad to screw out of that morgue." "Three days and we don't even get a tumble." "Yeah, you're right." "A lot of half-witted chumps riding around on Shetland ponies, knocking a little ball." "And a lot of high-hat baboons sitting on horses all swelled up with themselves, won't talk to nobody." "Horses." "Before I die, I'm gonna burn down a livery stable." "[HOOFS BEATING]" "Stop." "Stop the car." "Hey, where you going?" "She must be hurt." "I'm going to help her." "Say, you hurt bad?" "I seen..." "I saw your horse run away, and I knew you had an accident, so I..." "There wasn't any accident." "We got off and tied up the horses." "No accident?" "Of course not." "My horse broke loose and headed for town." "She'll go right back to the stables."

"Oh, I'm not leaving town." "I've decided to stay here all winter." "Well, thanks for the lift." "We'll be at home any time after 4 tomorrow, if you care to drop in." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." " Back to town, quick." " What for?" " I thought we're heading for Frisco." " Never mind." "We're going back." "I've gotta find the best tailor." "A tailor?" "You got a suit for every day in the week." "Come on, come on, get going." "[CHUCKLES]" " How do you do, sir?" " What does a guy wear to an afternoon tea?" "Well, it all depends, sir." "The best tailors have agreed that..." "Come on, I ain't got all year." "What does a guy wear?" "Well, I was about to remark, sir that a cutaway coat, white waistcoat and striped trousers are usually acceptable." "Can I have them by tomorrow afternoon?" "That's impossible, sir." "I'll need at least a fortnight..." "Look, buddy, I'm on the spears." "I've gotta have it by tomorrow." "I'll pay you double, triple the regular price." " Will you step into the fitting room, Mr...?" " J.F. Ahearn." " I'm stopping at the Biltmore." "Call them up." " Follow me, sir." "Oh, Winterbottom, come here." " Please take Mr. Ahearn's measurements." " Right-o, Mr. Charteris." " Excuse me, please." " Well, let's make it snappy." " My dinner suit ready?" " It is, Mr. Cass." " Can I have it tonight?" " Lf you're prepared to pay something." "Oh, listen, Charteris, old man, I expect a check any day now." "Now, I'll pay you just as soon as..." "I've listened to your excuses for the last time." "When can you pay me, you may have it, and not before." "Excuse me, please." "I'd greatly appreciate it, sir, if you would stand still." "Now, you wouldn't ask an artist to paint your picture while you were fidgeting about." "Oh, wouldn't I?" "You don't know me, Winterbottom." "Oh." "Mr. Ahearn's bank references are excellent, eh?" "A millionaire?" "Well, that is gratifying." "And where's the gentleman from?" "Oh, I see." "Well, that accounts for his strange manner of speaking." "Thanks very much, old boy." "Were you talking about Ahearn, the polo player from Meadowbrook?" "Mr. Ahearn is from Chicago." "[CHATTERING]" "[PIANO PLAYING]" "[CROWD APPLAUDING]" "Oh, how do you do, Miss Cass?" " Hello." " I, uh..." "I accepted your kind invitation." "It's nice of you." "Oh, you're the man who drove me home." "Yes, the man from St. Louis." "No, Chicago." "Of course." "Come on in and meet everyone." "This is Sylvia Townsend, Mrs. Ingram, Dr. Abbott." " How do you do, doc?" " How do you do, sir?" "Oh, uh, what's your name again?" "Bug..." "Mr. Ahearn." "Mrs. Frotingham, may I present Mr. Ahearn?"

"Just what I wanted too." "Who is that terrible creature, dear?" "He's the comic valentine who gave me a lift when my horse ran away." "His name's Ahearn." "Ahearn?" "From Chicago?" "Yes, why?" "He's not so stupid." "He's a millionaire." " Are you sure?" " I heard the tailor call for bank references." "You bad girl." "Why didn't you say something?" "I've never even met him." "Probably got a wife and seven kids." "Well, just the same, he's worth investigating." "Let's meet him." " Mr. Ahearn." " Oh." "Mother, may I present Mr. Ahearn?" " Charmed." " How do you do, madam?" "Father, Mr. Ahearn." " It's a very great pleasure, sir." " Well, same here." "And my brother, Gordon." " Glad you could drop over." " You and me both." "Ha-ha-ha." "You should have brought Mrs. Ahearn along." "Well, that would be great, only I'm not married." " Congratulations." " Yeah." "Ha-ha." "I understand you're from Chicago, Mr. Ahearn." " A favorite city of mine." " That's right." "Dear old Chicago." "I love it." "Connected with Continental and Commercial Bank, aren't you?" "Well, I'm not in business anymore." "You see, I made mine and quit." "Yeah, all I do now is just play and enjoy myself." "I suppose you're staying at the Biltmore." "Well, I was, but, uh, I've sort of bought myself an estate." "How thrilling." "Whereabouts is your house?" "Well, I, uh..." "I haven't been living here very long, so I don't know the names of the streets." "Perhaps it's one of those big hillside places south of town." " Yeah, that's right." "A big hillside place." " Grand." "Well, Mr. Ahearn, now that you've found the way I hope you'll come and see us very, very often." "Come to dinner sometime, anytime." "Just give us a ring." "Well, I'm much obliged to you." "And you folks have gotta come and have dinner on me just as soon as I get open." "We'd be delighted." "That will be splendid." "Now, remember, Mr. Ahearn, this is not one of those indefinite invitations." "Oh, I should say not." "We expect to see a lot of you." "Thank you." "Say, uh, your folks certainly got a lot of culture, Miss Cass." "They make a fella feel right at home." " You made a very good impression on them." " Honest?" "Cross my heart." "Well, of course, it's..." "I like it that they like me and all that but it's a lot more important to me if you..." "I mean, if I..." "If we..." "No, thanks." "Hmm?" "I got mine already." "Thanks." "[LAUGHING]" " Good morning, gentlemen." " Oh, good morning." "Say, have you got a hillside estate?" "You know, something big, kind of rich-Iooking." "Do you want to buy or rent?" "Well, I'll rent it for a while, and then if everything's okay, I'll buy it." "Well, I think I have just the place you're looking for." "If you'd care to drive out, I'll show it to you." " Can we do it right away?" " Yes." "All right, let's take a gander at the joint." "You could put the whole Cubs' ballpark in the front yard." "Yeah, no fooling." " The polo field is over there." " Yeah." "And the tennis courts and swimming pool and sunken gardens are this way." "Who sunk the garden?" "BUGS:" "Say, what's that?" "RUTH:" "Why, it's a sundial." "What's it for?" " You tell time by it like a watch." " Ha-ha-ha." "Well, imagine lugging that around in your vest pocket." "I want you to see the..." "Yeah." " This is the living room." "BUGS:" "Hmm." "Nice chandelier." " The piano is a Steinway." " Oh, lovely." "Say, who's that?" " That's a famous Siamese Beauty." " Where's the other one?" " What?" " I always thought they was twins." "Well, there's a guy in good shape." "RUTH:" "That's a reproduction in bronze of an ancient Greek wrestler." "Oh, yeah, I know." "Zbyszko." "Say, I seen him wrestle Strangler Lewis at the old Garden." "Yep, nice place." "Little big, but cozy at that." "How much are you asking?" "Well, uh, let's say 1500 a month on a year's lease." "Fifteen hun?" "How would 1450 do?" " Well..." " It's a deal, 1450." " When can I move in?" " Whenever you want, Mr. Ahearn." "I'm in now." " I'm sure you'll be very happy here." " Get a load of the carpets." "Yeah, they make me feel like I was in wading." " Of course you brought your own servants?" " Servants?" "Oh, no, uh..." "No, you see, I gave them up when I closed my townhouse in Chicago." "Oh." "Well, you'll need a housekeeper, and a cook, two butlers an upstairs maid, three gardeners and a couple of chauffeurs." "Is that all?" "Well, that's the staff that we, uh..." "The people who lived here kept." " Oh." " Mr. Ahearn, I could get you their servants." "Competent, trustworthy, efficient help." "They know exactly how this place should be run." "All right, sister." "You take care of that, but don't let's lose no time." "Oh, look here." " You know this town good, I suppose." " Yes, I've lived here all my life." "Well, I'm kind of a stranger around here, but I expect to do a lot of entertaining." "Could you stick around here and help me?" "You know, tell me who to invite and all that sort of thing." "Why, of course." "Well, would 100 bucks a week interest you?" "It certainly would." "Well, then it looks like you go with the house." "Oh, Mr. Ahearn, I can't thank you enough..." "Oh, that's all right, sister, that's all right." "I'll get my money's worth out of you." "They're very kind, but a little eccentric." "So you mustn't be surprised at anything they do or say." "Most important of all, Mr. Ahearn is not to know that this is my house, or that all of you worked for Father and me." " You understand that, don't you?" "ALL:" "Yes, ma'am." "If he did find out, it might be very embarrassing for him." "He might even discharge me, and I need my salary just as much as any of you." "It's gonna take every cent of the money I get to pay my back taxes and interest." "Boy, what a crib." "What a crib." " Kind of gives you ideas." " You think not." "[PHONE RINGS]" "I'll take it." "Hello." "Oh, hello, Miss Cass." "Got my message?" "Yes, I called you the minute I came in." "Would you like to come over and have lunch with us tomorrow?" "Fine." "Oh, Mr. Ahearn, you're getting me all of atwitter." "Oh, I'm not kidding." "I mean it." "Well, I'll see you about 1 tomorrow, huh?" "Goodbye." "How you doing, pal?" "Well, looks like I'm in the bag, headed smack for the society column." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "AL:" "Come on in." " Is your room all right, Mr. Ahearn?" " Oh, perfect." " The butler will be up to help you unpack." " Thanks." "Now, if there's anything you want, why, please just ask me." "Say, now, look here." "You know, I was thinking we might throw some kind of a party tomorrow night." " A housewarming?" " Yeah, that's it." " Will you take care of it?" " Of course." " Uh, whom do you want me to invite?" " Well, the..." "The Cass family." "The Donald Hadley Casses?" "That's right." "Swell people, ain't they?" "Ha-ha." " Charming." " I sure hope they'll accept the invitation." "Oh, I'm inclined to think they will." "Now, let me see, now, there's Miss Polly Cass there's Mr. And Mrs. Cass, and there's young Cass." "Well, the Casses." "And anybody else you might think would fit in them with them." " Well, they may be a little difficult." " Yeah, that's right." "You can't invite a lot of tramps on the same party with them." "You know, they're very distingué." "Very what?" "[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]" "It means, uh, distinguished in French." "Oh, of course, how stupid of me." " I'll attend to everything, Mr. Ahearn." " Thank you." "You know, there's a smart little dame." "And plenty pretty too." "Sure, but she's only a servant." "Oh, yeah." "Say, I keep forgetting." "Mr. Daniels, you're getting real Scotch, genuine White Horse." "Your horse has got diabetes." "[CHATTERING] [MUSIC PLAYING]" "Lovely night." "Oh, yeah, it's a gorgeous moon." "You going to the polo matches tomorrow?" "Oh, yes." "Yes, indeed." "You know, you ought to take up polo." "I guess I should." "Oh, it's a grand game." "And I've always had a weakness for athletic men." "[CHUCKLING]" " Let's take a walk, shall we?" " Okay." "Gee, Polly, but your hair smells nice." "Like this perfume?" "Coming up for air." "Mind if I make myself comfy?" "Go on, don't stop." "Heh." "You, uh, engaged or something to that Mr. Stanley?" "Of course not, you silly." " He's just an old friend of the family." " Oh." "I got a hunch he ain't gonna be with us long." "As a matter of fact, I'm fed up with these usual people." "I could do with a new, exciting romance." "Life is very dull." "Oh, you can clean up tomorrow, boys." "Go to bed." "You've had a tough night." " Party come off all right, Mr. Ahearn?" " Oh, yeah, perfect." "Thanks for taking care of everything so good." " Go to bed." " Good night." "Hey, wait a minute." "Come here." "Sit down." "Say, you're a good, levelheaded kid and you look to me as though you could keep a secret." "I wanna ask you something." "Get the woman's angle." "I'm..." "I'm in love with a girl." "A lady." "Say, rich, fine family, swell education." " Everything that I ain't got." " I see." "Well, anyhow, I'm a pretty tough mug, myself." "I came from the gutter and I guess you can still smell it on me." "The only school I went to was reform school." "You've done wonderfully to get where you are now." "Oh, yeah, I've done great." "Sure, a real lady ought to jump at the chance of tying up with me." "Say, do you know who I am, sister?" " I'm Bugs Ahearn." " Bu..." "Bugs Ahearn?" "The beer..." "Yeah, that's right." "The beer baron." "The guy who pushes them around Chicago." "Sure, I've quit now but bombing, stealing, bribing, slugging, you name it and I done it." "You, the terrible Bugs Ahearn." "Well, she don't know this, see?" "And it's a cinch she's gonna get the dope on me sooner or later." "Now, look here, do you think I ought to give her this whole load myself?" "You know, tell her I done a stretch in Joliet lay all my cards on the table?" "I got a hunch she'd toss me out and get the whole joint fumigated." "Have you known her long?" "Well, I only met her a couple of days ago." "Well, I'd keep quiet about my past for a while if I were you." "Build yourself up to her level." "Then when you've proven that you have all the qualities that she admires in a man then tell her everything." "Well, that would take a long time." "Not too long." "A few weeks." "A few months, maybe." "But you'll be improving yourself." "Meeting people and making yourself familiar with your surroundings." "Yeah." "Yes." "Say, you're one of the smartest little dames I've ever run across." "That's right." "Why not?" "Yeah, build myself up to her..." "Say, you're all right, you know that?" "[CHUCKLES]" "That shouldn't take long." "He's certainly trying hard to learn the game." "You've got to give him credit." "Out here five hours a day, and seven days a week." "He swings just like an old lady beating a carpet." "Come on, quit stalling." "Hit it." "The handle is too long." "You'd be more at home with a blackjack." "Scram, will you, before I wrap this mallet around your neck." "[GRUNTING]" "You can have them for 1000 apiece." "The finest Argentine ponies." "Oh, I don't need them." "This dog of mine is good enough to stick-and-ball around..." "Hey, your stick-and-ball days are over." "You're really gonna play." " You kidding?" " No." "The boys say it's a miracle the way you've caught onto the game." "They want you on their team." "Me?" "On the Meadowlarks?" "Yeah, they said if you'd get yourself well-mounted..." "Well-mounted?" "Say, are these the best nags money can buy?" "Absolutely." " Will five be enough to start with?" " Well, you can get a few more later on." "Me, on the Meadowlarks." "Gee, that's the biggest boot I ever got in my whole life." " Can I have them right now?" " Sure." "Sold." "[CROWD SHOUTING]" "Why does he carry a mallet?" "He hasn't used it since the game began." "MAN:" "Mike, what are you stopping for?" "Leave it." "MAN:" "Come on." "Leave it." "MAN:" "One more down." "Leave it." "Nuts!" "MAN:" "Outside." "[CROWD SHOUTING]" "[WHISTLE BLOWS]" "[CAR HORNS TOOTING]" ""Noted sportsman." Did you pipe that?" "And right smack at the head of the society column." "I suppose you'll buy a plane next." "No, they hit the ground, and then where are you?" "If we're going out on that boat tomorrow, I'll buy a pansy motorman cap." "Say, time for you to play golf." " Oh, I played yesterday." " Come on, get moving." " You'll become a gentleman if it kills you." " Oh, all right." "He's just an anchor." "I have to drag him around all the time." "This just came from the jeweler's." "Oh, fine." "I've been waiting for it." "Oh, boy." "Heh, heh." "Boy." "[CHUCKLES]" "Say, do you think Polly would like this?" "I mean, Miss Polly Cass?" "Polly Cass?" "You're engaged to...?" "I ain't proposed to her yet, but I'm gonna do it tomorrow on the yacht." "Oh, you can't really be in love with her." "Why, just thinking about her, I break out in a rash." "I can't eat." "I can't sleep." "Just think of it, a guy like me." "A guy that's hung around all corners." "A guy hep to everything, falling in love with a dame and on the level too." "Well, I wish you luck." " Hey, Ruth." " Hmm?" "You don't mind my calling you Ruth, huh?" "Well, look here, you know, I'm, uh..." "I'm kind of a sucker at this proposal racket." "How do you get started?" "How do you get away from the barrier, huh?" "Do you mean to say you've never proposed to a girl before?" "Well, up to now, I got along all right without even mentioning marriage." "[CHUCKLING]" "Well, it's perfectly simple." "Just ask her." "Oh, I'm sure to get all jazzed up." "Could I, uh?" "Could I sort of, uh, practice on you, huh?" "Why, uh..." "Why, yes, of course." "Oh, you're a real pal, baby." "Ha." "Well, put her down there." "Uh..." "Make out like you're her." "Uh..." "Well, I, uh..." "Well, how do you get going?" "Sit down here beside me." "Yeah." "Maybe I better start off with the ring, huh?" "No, no, she might not accept you." "You'll have to say something first." "Yeah." "That's where I'm a cinch to get all jazzed up." "Well, just tell her that you love her." "Okay." "Well, here we go, laughing and scratching." "Heh, heh." "Yeah..." "Well, now, look here, honey." "You know, ever since the first time I got a gander at you I knew that you and me..." "I mean, that we was kind of..." "Oh, I'm sunk." "I can think of the words, but they just won't roll out." "Well, just be natural." "Don't try to make a speech." "Now, try it again." "Yeah." "Polly, I..." "You know..." "Now, get a load of this, see?" "No, no, no." "You're gonna make a speech again." "Take my hand." " Put your arm around me." " Yeah." "Yeah." "Maybe I could put it all in a telegram." "Now, tell me that you love me." "I love you." ""And I love you, Jim."" "She'll say." "Say, you do this too good." "You must have had plenty of practice." "Now, never mind that." "Ask me to marry you." "Would you?" "Would you marry me?" "Of course I will, darling." "Say, how do you know she'll say that?" "Now kiss me." "Good evening, commodore." "What's good about it?" "Why don't you suck a lemon?" "Suck one yourself, you silly-Iooking..." "Come on, honey." "Let's go and tell the folks." "I'd better stay here and calm down." "You go tell them, darling." "[PIANO PLAYING]" "[CHATTERING]" "Hey, folks, say, I got some great news for you." "Kind of a surprise." "Polly and me..." "Well, we're engaged." "Oh, Jim, dear." "I'm so happy." "[ALL LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]" "Isn't that wonderful?" " Good luck." " Thank you." " Congratulations, old man." "Best of luck." " Thank you." "Congratulations, Jim." "I thought something like this was in the air." "Thanks, Gordon." "Ain't I the lucky guy, though?" "Stop sulking." "I only have to live with him long enough to get alimony." "And what am I going to do while you're on your honeymoon?" "[CHUCKLES]" "You big baby." "Well, now that I'm getting married I'd like to settle down and go into some good, high-class business." "An admirable idea, my boy." "What line should I go in, you think?" "Ordinarily, we might find something for you to do around Cass-Winter and Company." "But things have been so slow lately." "Well, I could put in some money." "You know, sort of buy a partnership." "We don't need it, Jim." "See, we're very old and well-established." "Plenty of capital." "Well, that's just the kind of outfit I'd like to hook up with." "Mm, I don't think I could get my partners to even consider it." "But we'll take a run down to Los Angeles tomorrow and chat with them." "I may be able to convince them." "I hope so." "I tried to borrow money on these bonds to pay my taxes." "And the bank laughed at me." "Why, these are all I've got." "My life savings." "And the bank says they're worthless." "True, bonds have defaulted their interest." "But I think you're unduly alarmed." "I'm alarmed?" "I'll show you how alarmed I am." "You sold me these for 5000." "I'll sell them back to you for 500." "I've been fleeced and victimized and I'm going to the district attorney." "Now, Mr. Burger, don't you realize that any adverse publicity would only depress these bond values further?" "But, gentlemen if I have faith enough in this young man's ability to sell him my interests outright I don't see how you gentlemen can object." "I have always gloried in your confidence and enthusiasm." "We have stood shoulder to shoulder in fair weather and foul, at our respective posts." "But there comes a time when young blood must supplant us." "When youth must be served." "Now, here is a man, a young man, with those attributes..." "Oh, Mr. Cass, could I see you a moment, please?" "Oh, will you pardon me, gentlemen?" "It's getting very tough out there." "When you leave, go out the back door." "Now, as I was saying, gentlemen here is a young man possessed of those attributes honesty, energy, integrity that alone can carry on the glorious tradition of Cass-Winter and Company." "Now, gentlemen, all in favor of selling their interests to Mr. Ahearn will signify by saying, "Aye."" "ALL:" "Aye." "Those opposed?" "None." "Congratulations, Mr. Ahearn." "Well, thanks." "Ha." "Well, I..." "I hardly know what to say." "I wanna thank all of you gentlemen for letting me in on this." "I appreciate your sacrifice but at the same time, I ain't overlooking that it's a great chance for me." "I wanna thank you for all that you done on my behalf." " I'll guarantee you plenty of service." " Yes." "Somebody give me a cocktail." "We're celebrating." " His checks cleared?" " Yes, my boy." "And I made over $300,000 on the deal." "Oh, Father." "It's all too wonderful." "Then I don't have to marry him." " What a godsend." " Yes, sir." "Mr. Ahearn is now sole owner of Cass-Winter and Company and he is welcome to it." "Where's Papa's cocktail?" "And all I could sell him was a few horses." "Ha." "I must be losing my grip." "You've got 15,000 commission for selling him that boat." "Oh, cigarette money." "Go on, call the gentleman up and tell him we've got smallpox." "We don't have to endure him now." "He might get suspicious." "You can endure him one more evening." "What excuse will you give for breaking off your engagement?" "I'll just write him I changed my mind." "Don't forget to send him back his ring." "Don't be ridiculous." "It's worth at least $5000." "Polly, I'd be careful about the way you break off your engagement." " Why?" "His checks have cleared." " Yes, I know." "But it might be more convenient if you handled the situation delicately." " Until we can get away to Europe." " All right." "I've had a nervous breakdown." "You have to take me away for a year." "That sounds plausible enough." "It's pretty sudden." "What if we told him there was insanity in the family?" "JOHN:" "Hey, everybody." " Hello, John." "John, I have something to tell you." " Now, wait a minute." "Wait." " Now, John..." "I just happened to pick up a copy of TIME." " Look at this." " What is it?" "Good heavens." "The notorious Bugs Ahearn." ""Beer, blood and machine guns." Huh." "We're sitting on a keg of dynamite." " Do you think there will be trouble?" " He's the toughest desperado." "He'd think it was a joke to blow up this house." " Bugs Ahearn." "GORDON:" "We should've investigated." "It's too late now." "We're in danger." "He's sure to find out we trimmed him." "Probably knows it now." "There's only one thing to do." "Get out of the country, quick." "You're absolutely right." "We'll make plans to leave in the morning." "Ingleby." "Oh, this is an outrage." "Ingleby, when Mr. Ahearn comes, say we're not at home." "We're indisposed." "We're not at home to anybody." "Mr. Ahearn is here, madam." "His car just turned into the drive." "Good evening, folks." " Glad to see you, Mr. Stanley." " Thanks." "Hi, Gordon." "Well, how goes it, Pop?" "And, Ma, you're looking keen tonight." "Well, sweetheart." "What's the matter?" "I don't feel very well." "A little dinner will be good for what ails you." " I'm sorry, but I can't go out tonight." " See, now, look here." "I got tickets for the dog show, but if you're not feeling well we can all sit here and have a nice, quiet evening at home." "I'm sorry, but I..." "You'll have to excuse me." "[SOBBING]" "I was..." "What is this all about?" "What's the matter?" "Why, we've just heard something rather disturbing." "Something concerning my family's good name and yourself." "I don't get you." "Uh, Mr. Ahearn..." "Did you, um?" "Did you happen to read this?" "DONALD:" "Of course, it's all a mistake which you can probably explain." "No." "It's true." "What?" "You don't deny the truth of that article?" "I told you, it's true." "And you had the nerve to force your affections on my sister?" "Worming your way into our affections, deceiving us about your past so you could marry my daughter." "Of all the disgraceful abuses of confidence." "DONALD:" "It's outrageous." "One of the most disgusting insults perpetrated on a trusting, innocent girl." "You've broken the poor girl's heart." "Ruined us socially." "Made us the laughingstock of this community." "My daughter will be ill from the shock." "We shall have to take her abroad immediately." "Now, look here." "I was gonna tell her about myself before we got married." "Naturally, Mr. Ahearn, the engagement is off." "And you are never to come near our home again." "Nor make any effort to communicate with us." "Well..." "Well, I know how dreadful you feel." "But it's one of the luckiest things that ever happened to you." "Baby, you sure give me the wrong steer." "All this'd never happen to me if I told her about myself before we got engaged." "All right, we're a bust out here, so what?" "Let's head back to where we belong." " I can't now." " The trains are still running." "I bought a business." "I gotta stick around and see what's gonna happen to that now." "Say that again slow." "You bought a what?" "I got over 600 G's invested in Cass-Winter and Company." " Oh!" " What's eating you?" "That firm, Cass-Winter and Company." "Why, they're thieves, crooks." " They're what?" " They swindled my father." "Sold him a lot of South American bonds that were absolutely worthless." "It took every penny he had." "It ruined him." "Killed him." "After he died, there was nothing left except this house, which I couldn't afford to live in." "Why, Ruth, you mean to tell me that this house belongs to you?" "Of course, ask anybody." "And they took your old man for..." "Do you wanna know all about the Casses?" "You wanna know the truth about that cultured, charming family?" "Well, the old man is a drunken swine." "The old lady cheats at cards." "The son is a nitwit who owes money to everybody who'd listen to him." "Nobody worthwhile around here will even speak to him anymore." "And Polly, she's been a sister-in-law to the world." "Why, she's been in one scandal after another since she was 16 years old." "Yes, and while you were engaged to her she was running around with Mr. John Stanley." "We used to call him John when he worked in my father's stables as a groom." "Why, Ruth, for the love of..." "Why didn't you spill all this before?" "Oh, I tried to, several times, but I couldn't." "You were too much in love with her." "Say, you sure about that firm?" "They've been on the verge of bankruptcy for a year." "And you sunk 600 G's." "[LAUGHING]" "The toughest mug in Chicago comes out here and gets trimmed by fags with handkerchiefs up their sleeves." "Wait till Joe Milano gets a load of that." "One more yelp out of you and you go right out through the window." "So they take me, huh?" "I'm a chump, huh?" "Well, that's swell." "I'm the guy who buys Brooklyn Bridge, ever hear of that?" "So they're giving me the runaround." "Me, Bugs Ahearn." "Mr. Ahearn, these gentlemen insisted on seeing you." "What do you want?" "Are you Mr. J. Francis Ahearn?" "What's the beef?" "The district attorney would like to see you in his office tomorrow, around noon." " What for?" " Ever hear of Cass-Winter and Company?" "Sure, I just bought it." "That's why the DA would like to see you." "Your face looks very familiar." "I think I've seen a picture of you somewhere." "Never mind the stall." "What's this all about?" "Rather serious trouble, I'm afraid." "Your firm's flooded the community with Republic of Santa Rango bonds." "Not worth the paper they're on." " How can you hold me responsible?" " I don't see why we can't." "I never sold any bonds." "I just bought it." "Present records show you to be the owner and president of the firm." "That makes you responsible." " So that's the law, huh?" " Exactly." "Hmmph." "Look here, supposing everybody that lost their dough got paid back." "Now, that would satisfy everybody." "Can I use your phone for a long-distance call?" "Surely." "As long as you can pay for it." "I want Chicago." "Central 7808." "[RINGS]" "Hello?" "Long-distance calling for you, baby." "Yeah, hello." "Say, look here." "Get Mike, Tony, Red, Gus, Hymie, Butch and the other boys." "Shove them into planes and shoot them out to Santa Barbara, quick." "Well, who do you think this is, you fathead?" "Sure, it's Bugs Ahearn." " Look here..." " Don't worry." "I'll save your taxpayers the cost of a trial." "And if I don't make good, you can still have a trial." "Oh, here's for the phone call, sweetheart." "Hey, what state's California in?" " Texas, you dummy." " That's right." "BUGS:" "It's the same old story." "You take a smart guy, put him in a racket he ain't wised up to and he's the biggest chump on earth." "I ain't denying that they took me and they done it good." "I ain't even burned up at them for taking me." "Well, not much burned up anyhow." "Because if ever a guy lead with his chin, begged somebody to hang one on it, I did." "All I'm saying is that I got in over my head and it's up to you boys to bail me out." "I don't have to tell you how to operate." "You know what I want, you'll give it to me." "But be kind of careful about bumping anybody off." "Now, you got all the dough." "Now, don't forget, boys, I'm depending on you to see me through." " Okay, when do we cut loose?" " First thing in the morning." "You boys were the best beer salesmen in the racket now let's see how good you are at selling bonds." "[CHATTERING]" "MAN 1:" "Hello, buddy." "MAN 2:" "Oh, hi." "INGLEBY:" "Gen..." "What?" " Good morning." " Good morning." "Could we speak to Mr. Donald Hadley Cass, please?" "The family is leaving for Europe in a few moments." "Mr. Cass is busy upstairs packing and cannot be disturbed." "We wouldn't think of disturbing him." "[GRUNTS]" "Come on, step on it." "Why, how did you...?" "What do you men want here?" "Good morning." "I'm Mr. Timothy O'Hara." " Meet Mr. Pulido." " Hi." " And Mr. Zamotoskovich." " Howdy, gobby." " You must be in the wrong house." " We ain't." "We're bond salesmen." "You're gonna buy Republic of Santa Rango bonds." " Three hundred thousand dollars' worth." " You get out of here before I call the police." "If I were you, I wouldn't argue." "Mr. Zamotoskovich, have you the check handy?" "Yes, sure." "Here it is." "All made out." "Nothing to do but sign." "This is highway robbery." "I refuse." "Looks like we'll have to give the gent a sales call." "Ain't that too bad?" "[GRUNTING]" "So you won't sign, huh?" "Well, you won't sign." "Well, how's this?" "Stop!" "Oh, help!" " Stop!" " Maybe this will take a little bit more." "[GRO ANING]" " Stop!" " You won't talk and you won't sign." "Stop, stop!" "I'll sign." "I'll sign." "Stop!" "I'll sign." " Now you're talking." " I'll sign it, I'll sign it." "Let me have it." "You'll suffer for this brutality." "This outrage." "You'll regret it." "You'll see." " There." " Thanks, Cass, old boy." "I'll stroll to the bank and get this cashed." "You boys stay here and entertain our customer." " Sure." " I'm sorry I had to put the heater on you." "But if you sit still, everything's gonna be all right." "It would be too bad to get blood all over this rug." "For a fact." "I want the police, quick." "Hurry up, the police." "We're selling you bonds you sold to chumps." "Operator, I want the police." "They put us in the can for selling them to you, they'll put you in the can." " You better think it over, buddy." " Stop squawking, nobody can hear you." "Here, put your moniker on this and be quick about it." "This is an outrage." "Get out of here or I'll call police." "Oh, will you?" "Hey, nix, nix." "You don't wanna croak him." "Wait till we get his moniker on this check." "Here you are, kid." "Sign here." "Why, this check is for $50,000." "That's all I have in the bank." "Sure, Mr. Ames." "It's bad to have 50 grand just laying in a bank." "Yeah, but it ain't near as bad as getting bumped off, Mr. Ames." "Come on." "Put your John Henry on there." "Come on, come on." "Hurry up." "Make it snappy." "What's keeping your father?" "Where is he?" "I don't know." "I haven't seen him." "If we don't leave in five minutes, we'll miss the train." "But of course, I..." "[DOOR OPENS]" "MRS. CASS:" "What do you want?" "GORDON:" "Look here." " You've got your nerve coming in here." " Shut up." "Give me that ring." "It cost me 7 grand." "Give me that ring." "[SCREAMS]" "Now, look here, Ahearn." "You can't..." "Ingleby, Ingleby." "Show these men out." "If you open that puss again, I'll shove my foot in it." "I wanna slip you a load of good advice." "The next time you go trim a sucker, pick some guy that's a real sucker." "I had smarter people than you doing my laundry in Chicago." "Come on." "Blind, please help the blind." "Help the blind." "Thank you." "How could you pay back all of these losses in such a short time?" "A new plan of refinancing." "The Chicago plan." "As long as you put the company on its feet, stay out here and run it." "Oh, no." "Out here, I'm like a mule in a horse race." "Well, look here." "You mustn't judge everybody by the Casses." "They're like poison to everybody in the community." "You telling me?" "You haven't met one decent person since you came out here." "Why, sister, that's the first time you've been wrong." "Do you remember rehearsing me in that proposal racket?" "Why, of course I remember." "Well, I was thinking it might not be a bad idea if me and you, uh had another rehearsal." "I mean, that is, when you haven't anything else to do." "Well, I'm idle right this minute." "Great." "Put her down there." "MAN:" "Fire at once!" "[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]" "Fore!" "Look out!" "Bull's-eye!" "Give the gentleman a cigar." "[ENGLISH SDH]"
