Transcript

00:00And therefore, I leave as sole heirs to all my worldly possessions my two nephews, Monty and Ted Mulligan,

00:09the children of my deceased sister, Eliza Pixon Mulligan.

00:14And just what does it mean in dollars?

00:18Three hundred thousand, more or less.

00:20What do I say?

00:21Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet.

00:23Seeing as how my nephews are living apart and deploring the separation as I do,

00:27I'm not denying the pain that it caused my poor deceased sister.

00:30Poor mom.

00:31I stipulate as condition to payment of the inheritance that my two nephews live together for a period of six months.

00:37One hundred and eighty days.

00:39Yes, under the same roof where they will learn brotherly love,

00:42thus giving my poor deceased sister at least some final consolation.

00:46In you faith, et cetera, et cetera.

00:49Seems clear enough.

00:58Whiskey?

01:01No, information.

01:03I'm looking for a guy called Ted Mulligan.

01:08What do you want with Ted Mulligan?

01:11He's my brother.

01:13What?

01:17Ted!

01:19But I don't want to live with you.

01:21Well, we're not getting married.

01:24It's only for six months.

01:26And besides, I never did like Uncle Archie.

01:29You're not being fair.

01:31He was just old-fashioned, that's all.

01:34He believed in brotherly love.

01:36Ah, nuts.

01:38Listen, three hundred thousand dollars aren't nuts.

01:41To hell with this money.

01:45Why, you're not doing all that well.

01:48I'm doing fine.

01:51I got a house, horses, that's all I need.
