Man With A Million 1954
Transcript
00:00:00The End
00:01:30Here it is, Mr. Montpelier.
00:01:34I trust you will not be disappointed with its prosaic design.
00:01:37On the contrary.
00:01:38It seems to me a thing of beauty.
00:01:41If not a joy forever.
00:01:43Allow me, Oliver.
00:01:45It looks good.
00:01:47It feels good.
00:01:49It is good.
00:01:50And there's only one other like it.
00:01:52Issued in connection with a foreign loan.
00:01:55Yes, we read about it.
00:01:56That's what gave us the idea.
00:01:58The idea?
00:01:59I suppose it does seem a little curious that we should need such a large thumb in the form of one note.
00:02:04It certainly is an unusual request.
00:02:07I imagine it's for a business transaction.
00:02:09Very important business, isn't it, Roderick?
00:02:11Shall we tell Mr. Garrett?
00:02:12You leave me no alternative.
00:02:14You see, Mr. Garrett, my brother and I require this pretty, exquisite, unique little scrap of paper for a bet.
00:02:22A bet?
00:02:23Did you say a bet?
00:02:25Very important bet.
00:02:27Gentlemen, you astound me.
00:02:28I'm astounded at the purpose for which you require this, Newt.
00:02:32I'm astounded that you should call it a scrap of paper.
00:02:36Allow me to draw your attention to the text.
00:02:39I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of one million pounds.
00:02:58This consulate is not provided with funds by the United States government
00:03:27for the assistance of needy Americans in London.
00:03:32Now, that's too bad.
00:03:33I'd have thought this would be just the place.
00:03:35Well, that doesn't mean we're not anxious to help.
00:03:38Might find your berth in a cargo ship and you could work your passage home.
00:03:41Would there be any chance that I could find work here?
00:03:43Well, if you'd like to call back in a week or two, we'll make inquiries.
00:03:47A week? That's a long time.
00:03:49I could just get a little money to last me through the next few days.
00:03:51I can find work for myself.
00:03:53We can give you a small loan if you can guarantee repayment.
00:03:56Can you offer us any kind of security?
00:03:59Well, I've got a head on my shoulders and a good pair of hands.
00:04:03Unless you don't trust me, that's security, isn't it?
00:04:05It's no security at all.
00:04:07Many people pass through this office making similar requests.
00:04:10If we made an exception, we wouldn't know where to stop.
00:04:12Well, if you like, I'll report back to you every day.
00:04:15Sorry, it can't be done.
00:04:17Now, for the price of one shilling, you can join the Anglo-American Society.
00:04:20That'll put you in touch with people in a position to help you.
00:04:22Well, I think on the whole, I'd better try to help myself.
00:04:26Well, that's up to you, sir.
00:04:27Come back if you have no luck.
00:04:30I'll do that.
00:04:32Uh, did I have one of those?
00:04:35Of course!
00:04:37Sorry.
00:04:38All gone.
00:04:39Thanks.
00:04:59Lovely muffins.
00:05:01Muffins.
00:05:02Fresh muffins.
00:05:05Lovely muffins.
00:05:07Lovely muffins.
00:05:08Lovely muffins.
00:05:10Lovely muffins.
00:05:11Let's go.
00:05:41Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?
00:05:48Who, me, sir?
00:05:49Yes, you. Through the front door on your left.
00:05:55Thanks.
00:06:04Good morning, sir. Will you please come in?
00:06:11Permit me to lead the way, sir.
00:06:34The young gentleman, sir.
00:06:36Thank you, James. That'll be all.
00:06:38How do you do, Mr...
00:06:40Adams. Henry Adams.
00:06:42Come and sit down, Mr. Adams.
00:06:48You're an American, Mr. Adams.
00:06:50That's right. From New England.
00:06:52How well do you know London?
00:06:53Well, not at all, sir. It's my first trip here.
00:06:56I wonder, Mr. Adams, if you'd mind us asking you a few questions.
00:07:00Go right ahead.
00:07:01May we ask what you're doing in this country?
00:07:03And what your plans are?
00:07:04One thing at a time, Oliver.
00:07:05Well, I can't say that I have any plans. I'm hoping to find work.
00:07:08As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident.
00:07:12How is that possible?
00:07:13Well, you see, back home I have my own little cutter.
00:07:15Well, she's just a 14-footer, but I get a lot of fun out of her.
00:07:18Well, four weeks ago, last Saturday, I was sailing out of the bay...
00:07:22Well, go on.
00:07:23What was that?
00:07:24You were sailing out of the bay.
00:07:25Oh, yes.
00:07:26Well, towards dusk, I found myself in the thick of a westerly gale.
00:07:29I did the only thing I could and ran before it all night.
00:07:32Next morning, I'd just about given myself up to lost, and I was spotted by a brig.
00:07:45It was the brig that brought you to England?
00:07:47That's right.
00:07:48I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my somewhat disreputable appearance.
00:07:54You mustn't worry about that.
00:07:55It's a positive advantage.
00:07:58I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, sir.
00:08:01Tell us, Mr. Adams, what sort of work were you engaged in?
00:08:05I had a job with a shipbuilding firm.
00:08:07Would I be right in thinking that you, too, might be able to offer me some kind of work?
00:08:11Patience, Mr. Adams, patience.
00:08:13If it's not an indelicate question, have you any money?
00:08:17Well, to tell you the truth, my bankroll is zero.
00:08:21What luck!
00:08:22Roderick, what luck!
00:08:24It may seem lucky to you, gentlemen, but it's not very lucky to me.
00:08:30This is your idea of some kind of a joke.
00:08:32I don't think it's very funny.
00:08:34Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way.
00:08:36Please don't go, Mr. Adams.
00:08:38You mustn't think we're insensitive, even though my brother is a little tactless.
00:08:42Oliver, give him the letter.
00:08:45I was about to say the same thing myself.
00:08:47The letter.
00:08:54For me?
00:08:55For you.
00:08:56Oh, no, you mustn't open it.
00:08:57Not yet.
00:08:58You may open it at two o'clock.
00:08:59Not a moment before.
00:09:00This is ridiculous.
00:09:01It's not ridiculous.
00:09:02There's money in it.
00:09:03Oh, well, now, listen to me.
00:09:04I don't need your charity.
00:09:05All I want is an honest job of work.
00:09:06If you can't do it...
00:09:07We appreciate your honesty, Mr. Adams.
00:09:08That's why we've given you the letter.
00:09:09Jane, show Mr. Adams out.
00:09:10Good luck, Mr. Adams.
00:09:11Well, why don't you explain what this is all about.
00:09:12You'll soon know.
00:09:39One hour and ten minutes.
00:09:42One hour and ten minutes?
00:09:44This way, sir.
00:09:48Mr. Adams.
00:09:51Not until two o'clock.
00:09:53Promise?
00:09:57Promise.
00:09:59Goodbye.
00:10:00Ah, honest, intelligent, a stranger to London.
00:10:10And not a penny with which to bless himself.
00:10:12Perfect.
00:10:30Well, the...
00:10:36That one's reserved. This way, please.
00:10:38Yes, indeed.
00:10:45Take this into Mazzola, Horace.
00:10:50No sir.
00:10:52Amen.
00:10:54Take this into Mazora, Horace.
00:10:59Have some ham and eggs and a nice big juicy steak with all the trimmings and make it extra thick.
00:11:26Cost a tiny bit. That's understood. And a long cool tankard of ale.
00:11:56Waiter. Same thing again, please.
00:12:24Again? That's right. And fill letter. Anything wrong?
00:12:31No. No, sir. He's asked for another portion. Hail and all.
00:12:39You think he can pay? He'll have to chance it.
00:12:43Serve him, Horace. But don't spare the gristle.
00:12:54Ham, eggs, steak, potatoes, beans, carrots twice. Trifle cheese, coffee, two quarts of ale.
00:12:59Three and tenpence. Thank you. Would you mind waiting just a few minutes?
00:13:05What's it to wait for? All right, Horace.
00:13:08That was a wonderful meal.
00:13:14You know, it's amazing how much pleasure you get out of the simple things if you have to get along without them for a while.
00:13:20Very interesting. And now perhaps if you pay the bill, I could attend to the other customers.
00:13:25That clock of yours, is it correct?
00:13:27If anything, it's fast.
00:13:29Well, it's fast.
00:13:32How fast?
00:13:33Two minutes.
00:13:34Oh, thank you.
00:13:35Now, I don't wish to be unpleasant. But would you please settle the bill?
00:13:40I want to. But you see...
00:13:42The bill, please.
00:13:44Yes, I know the bill.
00:13:46Exactly.
00:13:47Well, I don't suppose a couple of minutes will make any difference.
00:14:17I'm awfully sorry, but... I don't have anything smaller.
00:14:30Well...
00:14:36Just one moment.
00:14:38Maggie! Look!
00:14:45Do you think it's real?
00:14:47No, no, no.
00:14:53Ask Mr. Clements.
00:14:54Mr. Clements!
00:14:55Mr. Clements!
00:14:56What is it?
00:14:57Would you mind just looking at this?
00:15:12Do you think it's genuine?
00:15:14Two notes of this denomination have been issued.
00:15:18But in any case, it's hardly likely to be a forger.
00:15:20Why not?
00:15:21It would draw too much attention to the owner.
00:15:23No forger would want that.
00:15:25But look at the owner, Mr. Clements. He's in rags.
00:15:27He's in rags.
00:15:33I can only assume he's an eccentric millionaire.
00:15:36An eccentric millionaire!
00:15:38And you put him at the back of the room.
00:15:40Go and attend him at once.
00:15:42I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot change the note.
00:15:46But it's all I have on me.
00:15:48Oh! Oh, please don't worry, sir.
00:15:49It's of no consequence, no consequence at all.
00:15:51We're most gratified that you should so much as step foot inside our little establishment.
00:15:56Indeed, sir, I trust you will come here whenever you're seeking peace and quiet.
00:15:59Well, that's very good of you.
00:16:01Good, sir. It's good of you, sir.
00:16:02You must come whenever you want and have whatever you like.
00:16:05The mere honor of your presence is a reward in itself.
00:16:09I may not be passing this way for quite a while.
00:16:11It would be a very poor thing, sir, if I couldn't trust a gentleman as rich as yourself, sir.
00:16:16Even if you do play larks upon the public in the matter of dress.
00:16:19As for the bill, sir, please forget it.
00:16:22It's of no consequence, no consequence at all.
00:16:25Thank you very much, sir. That's very nice of you.
00:16:28Oh, it's for us to thank you, sir. And I do, sir. From the bottom of my heart.
00:16:55all known to me, are you a great one?
00:16:56Have a great day.
00:16:57In short, what are your dreams that I brought?
00:16:58Something happens to makealls?
00:17:00How are you great?
00:17:01Again, youuldade, sir, does, sir, and you are going to see you great.
00:17:03You are really good, sir.
00:17:04You are really smart soמן.
00:17:05You are the main...
00:17:08Here you are.
00:17:09You did, sir.
00:17:11I don't own...
00:17:12It was me, sir.
00:17:14Something seis.
00:17:16I want to fuck you.
00:17:17The yok.
00:17:18The sia.
00:17:19Did you want something, sir?
00:17:33You remember me?
00:17:34Yes, sir.
00:17:34Well, I've got to see your employers again immediately.
00:17:36They've gone, sir.
00:17:38Gone?
00:17:38Gone abroad, sir.
00:17:40But they were here just an hour ago.
00:17:42They will be back in a month.
00:17:43A month from today.
00:17:45But I can't believe that they...
00:17:46They...
00:17:47They will be back in a month.
00:18:18The enclosed banknote is lent to you for one month.
00:18:22If you return it intact at the end of that time,
00:18:25you shall have any job that it is within our power to give you.
00:18:30May interest you to know that we have a bet on you.
00:18:33No, no, no...
00:18:34No, no, no...
00:18:42No.
00:18:43I don't know.

00:21:48I'd like to have a suit. I thought you might have something ready-made.
00:21:52You'll attend here.
00:21:59I want a suit, please.
00:22:01Something I can walk out in.
00:22:04Ready-made suits. Down the stairs.
00:22:18I hate to interrupt, but would you like to show me some ready-made suits?
00:22:22Yes, I dare say. We can fit you up, sir. This way, please.
00:22:26I thought you might have something that was made up for another customer in that collective.
00:22:29We don't go in for that sort of thing here, sir.
00:22:31Here we are, the very thing.
00:22:33Tell Todd to serve him quickly and get him out of the side door.
00:22:36Yes, sir.
00:22:40Is this the sort of thing that's worn in England nowadays?
00:22:42Yes, it's all the fashion. Try the trousers.
00:22:49Mr. Reid says you've got to get him out of the side entrance and quick.
00:22:52I know what I'm doing. I've got eyes, haven't I?
00:23:01It's a little noisy, isn't it?
00:23:03Well, you won't do better, sir, all things considered.
00:23:05You're a little difficult for size, you know.
00:23:07Yes, so I am. Well, it'll do for the time being. I'll take it.
00:23:10Good. Shall I wrap it?
00:23:11No, I'll wear it.
00:23:12Oh, I'd rather not pay you now, if you don't mind.
00:23:15I'd like to open an account and settle with you in a month.
00:23:18You see, I don't happen to have any small change.
00:23:23Here we go.
00:23:24I suppose a gentleman like you can only be expected to carry large change.
00:23:28Now, look here, Sonny.
00:23:29If I were you, I wouldn't judge strangers by the clothes they wear.
00:23:31I just don't want to embarrass you with a large note.
00:23:34Well, I meant no offense, but while rebukes are in there,
00:23:36what makes you think we can't change a large note?
00:23:38As a matter of fact, we can.
00:23:42In that case, there's no problem.
00:23:45There's no problem.
00:23:46There's no problem.
00:23:55Well, there's no problem.
00:24:03I don't know what we can do.
00:24:08I don't have to worry about this.
00:24:13Well, what's up, what's the trouble, what's wanting?
00:24:18I'm just waiting for my change.
00:24:20Come, come, get him his change, Todd, get going.
00:24:23Change, sir.
00:24:25Change.
00:24:31Could it, is it, would it be the one I saw in the papers on Wednesday?
00:24:36Or was it Thursday?
00:24:38I remember thinking that never would I be blessed with a feel of such a note as this.
00:24:43We had a fool, Todd, a born fool bringing the gentleman into this part of the shop.
00:24:46You'd think we'd never had dealings with millionaires.
00:24:49And take off this jacket, sir.
00:24:51It's only fit for the dustbin.
00:24:53Get Jack after the billion.
00:24:54Allow me, sir.
00:24:56This way, sir.
00:24:58The balance is perfect.
00:25:00We were making it for the Hospidar of Halifax.
00:25:02He was very much of the same build.
00:25:04One inch off the sleeves.
00:25:06One inch off the sleeves.
00:25:07The cravats, Mr. Reid.
00:25:08I said the new ones from Macclesfield.
00:25:10This thing in the morning we shall start to make for you.
00:25:13You'll be needing a morning suit, a dress suit, something for the opera.
00:25:16Oh, now, wait a minute.
00:25:17I don't need all those suits.
00:25:18I only came in here for one suit.
00:25:19The waistcoats, Mr. Reid.
00:25:21Thirty-five.
00:25:22Thirty-five.
00:25:23You'll never get through the season without them.
00:25:25Thirty suits is the very minimum.
00:25:27The Lord Reddington favors forty-eight.
00:25:29Square up the neck of the back.
00:25:30Oh, I can't give you all those odors.
00:25:32Why, you'd have to wait indefinitely for payments.
00:25:35Indefinitely.
00:25:36A weak word.
00:25:37Eternally, Mr. Adams.
00:25:39The dressing gowns, Mr. Reid.
00:25:41Shrink the front edge a little.
00:25:43Shrink the front edge a little.
00:25:44Now, what about a cycling suit, Mr. Adams?
00:25:46Cycling is all the rage nowadays.
00:25:47And then, of course, there's ascot.
00:25:48I'm not going to be doing any cycling,
00:25:50and I'm not going to be doing any ascotting.
00:25:51Sailing's my hobby.
00:25:52Ah, the sport of kings.
00:25:54Very right and proper for a person such as yourself.
00:25:57I thought racing was the sport of kings.
00:25:59Then it ought to be sailing.
00:26:00Nip in the waist of it.
00:26:01Nip in the waist of it.
00:26:02And make a note, Arthur, a nautical suit.
00:26:04A nautical suit.
00:26:05The spats, Mr. Reid.
00:26:07And just a fraction more skirt.
00:26:09Just a fraction more skirt.
00:26:11It's our pride and glory to see a man of your eminence
00:26:14properly attired for the season.
00:26:16To skip it, Mr. Adams, would be inconvenient to you
00:26:18and harmful to me.
00:26:20The other cravats, Mr. Reid.
00:26:21That will be ready for you in the morning.
00:26:23That's fine.
00:26:24I'll just get back into these now.
00:26:25Oh, dear, oh, dear.
00:26:26The humiliation.
00:26:27Still, I suppose, there's no alternative.
00:26:29Your address, Mr. Adams?
00:26:30Well, I don't have an address.
00:26:32I'm changing quarters.
00:26:34Take my advice and stay at Bumble's.
00:26:36It's Bumble's.
00:26:37The very place.
00:26:38Quiet, modest, and discretionary, sir.
00:26:40Luckily for you, I have a relative on the management.
00:26:42Leave it to me.
00:26:44Really?
00:26:47Really?
00:26:51Really?
00:26:54Really?
00:26:55Thank you very much, Reid.
00:26:58I'm most indebted to you.
00:27:15Which of the suites on the first floor is vacant?
00:27:17None, sir.
00:27:18Williams, sir.
00:27:19Fetch all the reception staff and the commissionaires from both entrances.
00:27:22Yes, sir.
00:27:24Ah, the bridal suite.
00:27:26How long is it since the Duke of Frognall settled his account?
00:27:29Six months, Mr. Lloyd.
00:27:30I'll move him up.
00:27:31Yes, sir.
00:27:32Prepare the suite immediately.
00:27:33Send up fresh flowers, roses, carnations.
00:27:37I want you to pay particular attention to what I have to say.
00:27:41I am expecting, at any moment, a Mr. Henry Adams.
00:27:45He is somewhat eccentrically dressed, you understand?
00:27:47Quite unlike our usual clients.
00:27:49But as far as you're concerned, he is attired as correctly as an admiral of the fleet.
00:27:54You will, of course, welcome him with all the discretion for which Bumble's is famed.
00:27:59He happens to be an American millionaire.
00:28:03Go back to the doors and look out for him.
00:28:04I do assure you, Your Grace, it's entirely to your own convenience.
00:28:08You will find the room far less disturbing at night.
00:28:11Never been disturbed at night since I came here.
00:28:15Sometimes I wish I was.
00:28:17The room was previously occupied by me, Lord Howard of Howard.
00:28:20Never heard of it.
00:28:21This is where I am and this is where I stand.
00:28:27What's the meaning of this?
00:28:30Get out, all of you! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
00:28:33Carry on.
00:28:34I assure you, Your Grace, it's merely temporary.
00:28:36Temporary be damned!
00:28:37Naturally, I wouldn't put you to the inconvenience of packing your bags.
00:28:41This is intolerable!
00:28:42Come on out with it!
00:28:43What's the meaning of it?
00:28:44If Your Grace will consider the move in all its aspects, I feel sure you'll appreciate its beneficial nature.
00:28:49Naturally, there will be a slight reduction.
00:28:51Oh, there will, will there?
00:28:52Sure, there ought to be.
00:28:54Will she be there too?
00:28:55That, Your Grace, is a matter for the housekeeper.
00:28:56Incidentally, as the new room is below the servants' quarters, you will be far more free to indulge your musical inclinations.
00:29:11Shall I?
00:29:12Now let's have the truth, Lloyd.
00:29:14Who have you got come here?
00:29:15Come on, out with it.
00:29:16You can't bamboozle me.
00:29:18A Mr. Henry Adams, Your Grace.
00:29:20An American.
00:29:21An American?
00:29:22An American millionaire, Your Grace.
00:29:25Are you trying to tell me American money means more than an Englishman's name?
00:29:30I won't stand for it!
00:29:32This country is going to the dogs!
00:29:43Wait, Cabba.
00:29:48Good afternoon, sir.
00:29:50Allow me.
00:29:52Er, this way, sir.
00:29:53You're expected
00:30:03Good afternoon, sir.
00:30:06Allow me.
00:30:07Uh, this way, sir.
00:30:08You're expected.
00:30:18If you please, sir.
00:30:37Quite the most comfortable room I've had.
00:30:40I'm so glad.
00:30:44Excuse me.
00:30:44Good afternoon, sir.
00:30:48Good afternoon.
00:30:49Welcome to Bumble's.
00:30:50Parsons, whatever's come over you, carry the gentleman's case.
00:30:53Yes, sir.
00:30:54Certainly, sir.
00:31:00Parsons!
00:31:01Get up at once!
00:31:03This way, sir, if you please.
00:31:04Yes, sir.
00:31:13We are most honoured that you are staying with us, sir, and we can assure you of every comfort.
00:31:17Good afternoon, sir, and welcome.
00:31:19Wilcox, the register.
00:31:20Yes, sir.
00:31:30You'll kindly sign, sir.
00:31:31Just here, sir.
00:31:41Thank you very much, sir.
00:31:43And now, if you will step this way, we have reserved for you the bridal suite.
00:31:52Excuse me, sir.
00:31:53Excuse me, sir.
00:31:53Now, what do you suppose he uses that for?
00:32:07Pick it up, boss.
00:32:08Pick it up!
00:32:08There's nothing we of the old country like so much as a good sense of humour.
00:32:19This way, sir.
00:32:20Please.
00:32:20My apologies, sir.
00:32:22I trust there's no damage.
00:32:23If you care to replace it in the case, we'll have it taken up to your suite.
00:32:27So this is Bumble's.
00:32:28Yes, sir.
00:32:30The manager's expecting you.
00:32:33Excuse me, sir.
00:32:34This is Mr. Henry Adams.
00:32:38Adams?
00:32:39Did you say Adams?
00:32:40That's right.
00:32:41I understand I'm expected here.
00:32:45Oh, Mr. Adams, I apologize profusely.
00:32:48There's been the most unfortunate misunderstanding.
00:32:51You're an imposter.
00:32:53Parsons, I'm surprised at you.
00:32:55Perhaps you'll have the goodness to leave.
00:32:57I said, would you mind leaving?
00:33:01If you would just sign the register.
00:33:03What's going on here?
00:33:05It's just a mistake of the commissionaire.
00:33:07Get rid of him.
00:33:08The foolish fellow mistook him for you, Mr. Adams.
00:33:10Quite unforgivable.
00:33:11Excuse me.
00:33:14This way, please.
00:33:15Fetch the police, Williams.
00:33:27The police.
00:33:28Now, now, just a minute.
00:33:29I don't think we need the police.
00:33:30I'd like to have a talk with this gentleman.
00:33:34You can't talk?
00:33:36Well, it doesn't affect your drinking habits, does it?
00:33:40Good.
00:33:41Perhaps you'll be kind enough to lead the way for us.
00:33:43Certainly, Mr. Adams.
00:33:44Just attend to the bodies instantly.
00:33:47This way, sir.
00:33:47A little, uh, laryngitis?
00:33:50Oh, uh, you're a boxer.
00:33:55Strongman.
00:33:56Well.
00:33:57Waterville?
00:33:59Oh, um, the circus.
00:34:01Well, what do you know about that?
00:34:14So, you see, Rock, whichever way you look at it, I'm in this thing up to the next.
00:34:20All I was doing was walking around looking for a job.
00:34:23Now, look what's happening.
00:34:25I didn't ask for this.
00:34:27And now that I'm in it, I may as well enjoy it.
00:34:30And that's where you could come in.
00:34:31Are you very busy these days?
00:34:36Well, that's great.
00:34:38Why don't you string along with me for the next four weeks?
00:34:40Help me to keep the bank note intact.
00:34:43And I'll settle with you as soon as I get the job from the two old boys.
00:34:46What do you say?
00:34:50That's the stuff.
00:34:51It ought to be a pretty good job.
00:34:52Worth 500 pounds a year, anyway.
00:34:56Six.
00:34:56You know, Rock, you've got the right idea.
00:35:00In the meantime, we'll just have to put up with all of this.
00:35:06For the next month, I'm Henry Adams, the American millionaire.
00:35:26Aren't you overdoing it a bit?
00:35:55Oh, well, let's be on our way.

00:50:44I've got to see you alone.
00:50:49When?
00:50:51Now.
00:50:52I've got something very important to tell you.
00:50:55No, John, no, John, no, John, no.
00:50:59Keep it stiff, Mr. Adams.
00:51:05Good evening, your evening.
00:51:07Charlie.
00:51:08The race is in the music.
00:51:10Oh, here comes the American ambassador with a friend of Mr. Adams.
00:51:13A friend of mine?
00:51:15Yes, someone called Eastbourne or Worthing or something.
00:51:18His Excellency, the American ambassador and Mr. Lloyd Hastings.
00:51:23Excuse me, please.
00:51:24Wallace, how good have you to come?
00:51:26Good evening, my dear.
00:51:26Mr. Ambassador.
00:51:28This is Mr. Lloyd Hastings.
00:51:29How do you do?
00:51:30It's nice of you to ask me over, that's it.
00:51:31He's very anxious to see his old friend again.
00:51:33Well.
00:51:33The same, Henry.
00:51:35Oh, it's wonderful seeing you.
00:51:37The first time in ten years.
00:51:38I used to work with his father.
00:51:40Charming.
00:51:41The minute I saw those pictures of you in the papers,
00:51:43I've made up my mind to track you down.
00:51:45We must find a little corner so you can both have a long talk.
00:51:47But first of all, you must meet my family.
00:51:49Well, we'll get together later, then.
00:51:51Later.
00:51:52I always knew that boy would make good.
00:51:54He had it in him right from the time he was a nipper.
00:51:57This is my husband.
00:52:00No, don't get up to you.
00:52:01I wouldn't want to disturb a game at chess.
00:52:03No, chess isn't a game, it's a disease.
00:52:06And this is my father, Sir John Lampard.
00:52:08He's a great collector of first edition.
00:52:10How do you do?
00:52:11And do come over and meet my sister.
00:52:13Just be.
00:52:20You look so lovely out here in the moonlight.
00:52:22It makes it more difficult to tell you than I thought it was going to be.
00:52:27Here in the moonlight, it seems as though words are quite unnecessary.
00:52:31But you see, I...
00:52:33Well, I have a confession to me.
00:52:36And it's rather embarrassing.
00:52:38You mustn't worry about that.
00:52:39It's quite customary to be embarrassed.
00:52:41You don't know what it is.
00:52:43When you hear it, you might not like it.
00:52:45My reply shall be all that you hope for.
00:52:49I wish I could count on that.
00:52:51You can.
00:52:51You see, I already know.
00:52:58You know?
00:53:00I suppose I've known all the time, really.
00:53:03I have a confession to make, too.
00:53:06I feel the same.
00:53:11Portia.
00:53:12You don't think I'm forward, do you?
00:53:16Well, wait a minute.
00:53:31There are things that I've got to tell you.
00:53:33Now it's more important...
00:53:34And I've got lots of important things to tell you, too.
00:53:37Don't let's spoil this moment with words.
00:53:39Somehow they seem quite inadequate.
00:53:46Portia, where are you?
00:53:50Where is Mr. Adams?
00:53:51Mr. Hastings wants to talk to him.
00:53:58Now, Henry, you've got to help me.
00:54:01As we're alone, I can tell you the whole story.
00:54:03I'm in trouble.
00:54:05And you'll be able to get me out of it quite easily.
00:54:08I've made a large investment in a gold mine.
00:54:11The Good Hope gold mine.
00:54:12You may have heard of it.
00:54:14It's a sound proposition in every way.
00:54:16But I need more capital.
00:54:17And that's where you come in.
00:54:19Support for me with this stage
00:54:21would make all the difference
00:54:22on your freelancers' success.
00:54:24I have a son of a man's care.
00:54:26I know that I have a friend of mine.
00:54:28I have a son of a man's care.
00:54:29I have a son of a man's care.
00:54:30I have a son of a man's care.
00:54:31I have a son of a man's care.
00:54:32I have a son of a man's care.
00:54:33Of course, I know that we haven't met for several years.
00:54:36But I was a friend of the family.
00:54:37And you know I wouldn't let you die.
00:54:39Up to now, we haven't wasted a time.
00:54:42Badly held up by Forbes.
00:54:44We had those temporal books.
00:54:46And once we get the cash to go ahead,
00:54:50it's all plain sailing.
00:54:52My idea is to float a new company
00:54:54and give every shareholder
00:54:56a chance to subscribe to the new issue.
00:54:58And once we get the cash to go ahead,
00:55:01it's all plain sailing.
00:55:03I think one hundred percent successful.
00:55:06Bumble, sir.
00:55:07We're here, sir.
00:55:09Well, here we are.
00:55:10Home already.
00:55:12Come on in.
00:55:12Have a drink.
00:55:14Oh, here we are.
00:55:16Now, unreal your story.
00:55:17Unreal it?
00:55:18What, again?
00:55:19What do you mean, again?
00:55:20Good hopes, Henry.
00:55:22Good hopes.
00:55:23Good hopes?
00:55:25Henry, you've got me worried.
00:55:27What did you take over at Hampshire House?
00:55:30I took the hand of the loveliest girl in the world.
00:55:33You mean the Duchess of Cromarty's niece?
00:55:35That's right.
00:55:37Henry, on top of all this,
00:55:38you're marrying into the period?
00:55:41Congratulations.
00:55:43Now, about this mine, Henry.
00:55:45The land's there.
00:55:46The gold's there.
00:55:48Tons and tons of it.
00:55:49We only have to go another 50 feet.
00:55:51We'll strike.
00:55:52It won't take more than a wink.
00:55:53Well, congratulations.
00:55:55You're a made man.
00:55:56Oh, I'm a ruined man, Henry.
00:55:57I've sunk everything I have into that mine,
00:55:59and I can't hold out.
00:56:00All my own money.
00:56:01If the shares go much lower, I'm out.
00:56:03But there isn't a capitalist in town who'll take a chance.
00:56:06You can understand that.
00:56:07We capitalists get our money tied up.
00:56:09Henry, I'm not asking you for money.
00:56:12What are you asking me for, then?
00:56:14Have you ever had any reason to mistrust me?
00:56:17My father trusted you.
00:56:18That's good enough for me.
00:56:19Then all I ask for, Henry,
00:56:20is the use of your name.
00:56:21That's all I want.
00:56:22Your name for one week.
00:56:25Use it, by all means.
00:56:26Only what's my name got to do with your gold mine?
00:56:29It's a millionaire's name.
00:56:31It'll save my life.
00:56:32And you'll benefit, too, Henry.
00:56:33Mark my words.
00:56:35Oh.
00:56:36I'm on the rise again.
00:56:38And I'm going to take you with me
00:56:40higher than you already are.
00:56:41You'll make money, too.
00:56:43We're going to play skyrockets
00:56:45right in the middle of the stock market.
00:56:47And what did you take over at Hampshire House?
00:56:49Mr. John Craddock.
00:56:52Mr. Walter Craddock.
00:56:55Mr. Walter Craddock.
00:56:57Are you calling me?
00:56:58Yes, sir.
00:57:00Telephone call from your officer.
00:57:02Mr. Roy Hastings.
00:57:03Oh, I'm waiting.
00:57:07Thanks for coming so quickly, Craddock.
00:57:09Those are good hopes.
00:57:09What are they standing at this morning?
00:57:10Standing?
00:57:11They're on the verge of collapse.
00:57:12Fine.
00:57:13Buy me 20,000 on margin.
00:57:15You had a touch of the sun or something?
00:57:17I don't get your meaning.
00:57:18Oh, one other item.
00:57:20Buy me an additional 20,000
00:57:22in the name of Adam.
00:57:23Henry Adam.
00:57:25The Henry Adams?
00:57:26Who else?
00:57:27He happens to be a very good friend of mine.
00:57:29Thanks, Craddock.
00:57:31I'll give you a call later.
00:57:43Hello?
00:57:45Hello.
00:57:45What's behind this?
00:58:08Henry Adams, the American millionaire.
00:58:09He knows the mind.
00:58:10Well, finally, I've got you all to myself.
00:58:22Yes, Henry.
00:58:23Now, any distractions?
00:58:25Yes, Henry.
00:58:28So you've got to listen to me.
00:58:30Yes, Henry.
00:58:35Of course, yeah.
00:58:36I'm not a millionaire.
00:58:42Of course you aren't.
00:58:43The bank note, it doesn't belong to me.
00:58:46It doesn't even exist.
00:58:48The whole thing's a complete mistake.
00:58:50It's a misunderstanding.
00:58:51In fact, I don't have a single possession
00:58:54that I can call my own.
00:58:56My poor, poor man.
00:58:58No, no, no.
00:58:59I'm serious.
00:59:00So you're living in the bridal suite at Bumbo's,
00:59:03free of charge.
00:59:04That's right.
00:59:05And it costs you nothing to eat or drink.
00:59:07That's right.
00:59:08And the tailor, out of the goodness of his heart,
00:59:11has fitted you out with all this finally.
00:59:13Well, I don't know about the goodness of his heart,
00:59:15but he's fitted me out all right.
00:59:16You really expect me to believe you?
00:59:18Well, when you hear how the whole thing happened, you will.
00:59:21You see...
00:59:21Now I think it's time to stop teasing.
00:59:24No, no, I'm not teasing.
00:59:26I'm not rich.
00:59:28I have no money.
00:59:30I'm not a millionaire.
00:59:32Aren't you carrying this joke a little far?
00:59:35It's not a joke.
00:59:36It's true.
00:59:42Henry, you can take me home.
00:59:45Well, don't you want to hear how it happened?
00:59:47I've heard quite enough.
00:59:48Take me home.
00:59:49Well, I fully understand.
00:59:51There's no need to say any more.
00:59:52Do as I ask.
00:59:53Take me home.
00:59:57Just a minute, sir.
00:59:58Send the account to Bumble.
00:59:59But it's only a shilly, Mr. Adams.
01:00:00Never mind. Send it.
01:00:03Of course, I can understand you're not wanting to marry a poor man.
01:00:06You're simply adding insult to injury.
01:00:08Insult?
01:00:09What insult?
01:00:09As though I can't see through your ridiculous story.
01:00:12It's quite obvious you invented the whole thing.
01:00:14Why should I?
01:00:14Obviously, to test the strength of my love.
01:00:17Oh, that's it.
01:00:18Now, you listen to me.
01:00:19As though I care whether you're rich or poor.
01:00:20But I do care if you think it makes any difference.
01:00:23Oh, sir, you're wonderful.
01:00:24And you're horrible.
01:00:25And if you're trying to get out of the 5,000 pounds you promised my aunt,
01:00:28you may as well know now that I shall never marry a man who isn't charitable.
01:00:32You're going to listen to me if I have to bind your hand and foot.
01:00:35Oh, Henry, pull me down!
01:00:36Not until we get to Bumble.
01:00:38Henry, you please!
01:00:39Pull me down!
01:00:40Oh!
01:00:41George!
01:00:45We're pushing back, young camel!
01:00:48People, you come.
01:00:51Tim, turn up!
01:00:52They've pull us in Bend on Kings!
01:00:53Remember when you try 500 pounds?

01:01:08That's right. Good hopes at 20 shillings. Good hopes at one.
01:01:13Is that you, Hastings? Credit, King. Those good hopes, they're up to 20 shillings.
01:01:23Buy.
01:01:27Buy.
01:01:29Buy.
01:01:30And that's the whole story.
01:01:32When I take the note back to the two old boys on Thursday, it'll be quite a relief.
01:01:36My boy, you've done it again. Cleaned up. Made a fortune.
01:01:3916,000 pounds. It's all gone according to plan.
01:01:43How do you do?
01:01:43Now, look, you're a hastings. This is no...
01:01:45Why, with you behind that mine, it doesn't matter if there is gold there or not.
01:01:48I bought you 20,000 shares at two and three.
01:01:51They've gone up to a pound.
01:01:52Take away your original investment and you got 15,750.
01:01:57And it's all yours, my boy, every penny.
01:01:59I said you'd never regret this, Henry, and you never will.
01:02:04Of course.
01:02:07What's the matter?
01:02:11You blithering, blundering, bullnosed, block-headed, pot-bellied, ham-fisted jackass.
01:02:18Henry!
01:02:20Wait a minute!
01:02:21You can't go like that!
01:02:22Henry, wait!
01:02:23Yes, sir?
01:02:31I've come to see Miss Lansdowne.
01:02:33My apologies, sir.
01:02:34Our instructions are Miss Lansdowne is not to be disturbed.
01:02:37Nonsense.
01:02:38Tell her it's Mr. Henry Adams and that it's very urgent.
01:02:40If I may say so, sir, that it would only add fuel, as it were, to the fire.
01:02:45Is that Miss Lansdowne's handbag, sir?
01:02:48Yes, it is.
01:02:48But look, I've got to see...
01:02:50In the event of your being importunate, sir, I was told to say Miss Lansdowne hoped she would
01:02:54never set eyes on you again.
01:02:56I could wish the message had been more delicately phrased.
01:02:59Good day to you, sir.
01:03:02490.
01:03:0495.
01:03:05500.
01:03:06Thank you, Your Grace.
01:03:06Not at all.
01:03:07Now, Lloyd, I want my own suite back.
01:03:10That's hardly possible, Your Grace.
01:03:11Mr. Adams is still here.
01:03:13Has he paid his account?
01:03:15That doesn't arise, Your Grace.
01:03:16If it arises for an Englishman and a gentleman, why not for a trumped-up American?
01:03:21We could accommodate you in the Marlborough suite.
01:03:23No, I want my own suite back.
01:03:25If we don't stand up to these Yankee upstarts that we're treading all over us, it's a question
01:03:30of principle.
01:03:30He's a public figure, Your Grace, of considerable standing.
01:03:33Stuff and nonsense.
01:03:34How do you know he's a millionaire?
01:03:35Nothing but hearsay.
01:03:36Rumbles, as you know.
01:03:38We're more concerned with the type of clientele than their personal incomes.
01:03:41I'm not standing here to be insulted.
01:03:44What type do you think it is that doesn't even tip the barmaid?
01:03:47I mean the chambermaid.
01:03:48That little Rainy hasn't had one tip she told me herself.
01:03:50If you don't get him out of that suite, Lloyd, I'll do it myself.
01:03:58Rainer?
01:03:59Sir?
01:04:00What is Mr. Adams' account at the moment?
01:04:03A hundred and thirty-six pounds, sir.
01:04:05Up to last Thursday.
01:04:06Is that all?
01:04:07I'm afraid so, sir.
01:04:09It is.
01:04:11I couldn't, sir.
01:04:13It wouldn't be right.
01:04:14Come on, Rainy.
01:04:15Be a sport.
01:04:16Supposing I was caught?
01:04:17You won't be caught.
01:04:18But it's only a bit of fun.
01:04:19I shouldn't, really.
01:04:20I shouldn't.
01:04:21You can say it was my order.
01:04:23Come on, Rainy.
01:04:24You like a joke, don't you?
01:04:26But, sir.
01:04:27Do it for me.
01:04:30It is a bit of an arc, sir, isn't it?
01:04:33Don't you stop.
01:04:34Shh.

01:13:23That's right. Good hopes down to five shillings.
01:13:26Good hopes at the quarter.
01:13:28Henry Adams.
01:13:29Henry Adams.
01:13:35Sell.
01:13:38Sell.
01:13:41Sell.
01:13:42No.
01:13:48That's all right, Captain. I'll find him myself.
01:13:51There you are.
01:13:51Thank the Lord you've come.
01:13:53Have you found the note?
01:13:54Those shares are mine, Hastings. I want to sell them. I have to pay some bills.
01:13:56Sell?
01:13:57Why, nobody would accept those shares as a gift.
01:13:59You've ruined me, my boy. I'm finished.
01:14:01What are you talking about? You told me yourself they were worth 20,000 pounds.
01:14:05That was yesterday.
01:14:06The note, Henry. Where is it?
01:14:09You did have one, didn't you?
01:14:10Well, of course I had one.
01:14:12Isn't there any sanity left around here?
01:14:14Where does all this up and down business go on?
01:14:17Front Morton Street, the stock exchange.
01:14:18That's where I'm going.
01:14:20No, Henry, you can't. You can't go in there.
01:14:22Henry. Henry, wait for me. Henry.
01:14:25Henry. Henry, you can't go in there. Strangers aren't allowed.
01:14:28And because of all the trouble, I'm entitled to speak for myself.
01:14:31Henry, they'll throw you out.
01:14:32Henry, there's gold in that mine.
01:14:47But you don't give me a chance to explain.
01:14:49I tell you, it's hard to explain.
01:14:51There's gold in that mine.
01:14:55There's gold in that mine.
01:14:57They call themselves business.
01:15:07I warned you, Henry. It's tradition.
01:15:09They do it to Rockefeller himself.
01:15:11What's going on? What are they all here for?
01:15:28You, sir.
01:15:29Me? It's ridiculous. I don't know that much.
01:15:31What about them?
01:15:35It seems they've all come a cropper on good hope, sir.
01:15:37It's going around up here, so them reporters will spot you.
01:15:40They're here, too.
01:15:41Yes, sir. Drove's on.
01:15:43Not that way, sir.
01:15:44Down the back.
01:15:50Excuse me, sir. Would you mind clearing the porch, please?
01:15:52Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams.
01:15:58Have you the wherewithal to settle this unfortunate business?
01:16:01I'm very sorry, Lloyd, but you'll have to wait after.
01:16:03Wait?
01:16:03But what are you going to do?
01:16:05The Foyer is teeming with your wretched victims.
01:16:07Victims? I don't even know half of them.
01:16:08Tradesmen.
01:16:09Shareholders in your fake mine.
01:16:11And journalists.
01:16:12Bumbles will never survive.
01:16:13Shareholders.
01:16:14Small shareholders.
01:16:16Shareholders.
01:16:16They could save themselves, you, me, and the mine.
01:16:19All I've got to do is persuade them to hang on to their shares.
01:16:22Don't worry, Lloyd.
01:16:23Things may be all right after all.
01:16:25It won't work, Mr. Adams.
01:16:26Don't go.
01:16:27There'll be a riot.
01:16:29Anything might happen.
01:16:30Anything.
01:16:33There he is.
01:16:34That's him.
01:16:35Ladies and gentlemen.
01:16:43Ladies and gentlemen.
01:16:45Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that you've all come here to see me.
01:16:50And that some of you have invested your money in the Good Hope gold mine.
01:16:55Naturally, you all want to know if your money is safe.
01:16:58I can sympathize with those feelings.
01:17:00What about the note?
01:17:03Are you or are you not a millionaire?
01:17:06Whether I'm a millionaire or not is beside the point.
01:17:09A great many people invested in Good Hope's purely on your recommendation.
01:17:12Please, please.
01:17:14Ladies and gentlemen, if you'll just listen to me for a minute, you'll see that far from there being any need for panic, you've all made what will turn out to be a very sound investment.
01:17:22Does that mean, Mr. Adams, you found the note?
01:17:24Yes, sir.
01:17:24What the devil is going on?
01:17:36Fine old Allabaloo, sir.
01:17:37The hunt's up.
01:17:38Mark you, he's giving them a run for their money.
01:17:40Don't talk in riddles, man.
01:17:41Make yourself clear.
01:17:42Henry Adams, sir.
01:17:43Haven't you read the papers?
01:17:44They say he never had no banknote.
01:17:46Serve him right.
01:17:47Sir, if he don't find it, they'll lynch him.
01:17:49Ah, they wouldn't do that.
01:17:50Not British.
01:17:51Let me in.
01:17:52Excuse me, sir.
01:17:53If I was you, sir, I'd nip round the back.
01:17:55I do not nip.
01:17:58I do not nip.
01:18:00Now, please, please, please.
01:18:01Ladies and gentlemen, don't you see?
01:18:04If you'll all use a little common sense and hold on to your shares for another week,
01:18:07there's every chance...
01:18:08Yes, that's all very plausible, Mr. Adams.
01:18:10But we're all still in the dark as to whether you're a man of substance
01:18:13or merely have the gift of the gab.
01:18:16But it just isn't reasonable that you'd rather gamble on my reputation
01:18:19than on a good chance of finding gold.
01:18:21You're the gambler, sir.
01:18:23What difference does it make what I am?
01:18:25Providing that there's gold in the mine.
01:18:27The fellow's coming us off.
01:18:28Oh, please, please, please.
01:18:30Ladies and gentlemen.
01:18:31Ladies and gentlemen, let's all face the...
01:18:33facts, like sane adult human beings.
01:18:36Let's listen to the man.
01:18:38Yes, thank you, madam.
01:18:39We are willing to listen to anybody.
01:18:42Sir.
01:18:43Sir.
01:18:45It's all right, sir.
01:18:46What's all right?
01:18:47The bridal suite.
01:18:48You're getting it back.
01:18:50Change the sheets, Mr. Lloyd said, and dust the room.
01:18:53Lock, sir.
01:18:54They're taking all his clothes.
01:18:55Isn't it enough?
01:18:57How dare you, sir?
01:18:59How dare you?
01:19:00Dashed impertinence.
01:19:01Take them back at once.
01:19:02A lot of shopkeepers taking the law into your own hands.
01:19:05Who do you think you are?
01:19:07Rennie?
01:19:08This has gone too far.
01:19:10A lark's one thing, but when a fellow's expected to pay his tailor's bill, it's no joke.
01:19:15Come with me.
01:19:16So, it seems to me that there's been a great deal of hysteria over what is, after all, nothing more than a scrap of paper.
01:19:23I'm willing to stake my reputation.
01:19:25In fact, I'll give you my word of honor.
01:19:27That if, in addition to holding on, you buy more shares, you'll all be amply rewarded.
01:19:33That gold mine is genuine.
01:19:35That's right, my boy, and what's more, we can prove it.
01:19:38And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the very man who can clear up any lingering doubts you may have about the good hope gold shares.
01:19:43Mr. Lloyd Hastings has such faith in them that...
01:19:47They'll be returned, Mr. Adams, when you've settled the account.
01:19:59Mr. Adams talks of honor, but he can't even honor his tailor's bill.
01:20:03It's a case of conspiracy, actionable in law.
01:20:07You've taken my all!
01:20:08Scandrel!
01:20:09Avenge the widows!
01:20:12Avenge the widows!
01:20:14The widows!
01:20:15The widows!
01:20:15The widows!
01:20:18The widows!
01:20:19The widows!
01:20:20The widows!
01:20:21The widows!
01:20:26No fighting!
01:20:27No fighting!
01:20:29No fighting!
01:20:30No fighting, Mr. Adams.
01:20:31I forbid it.
01:20:40God!
01:20:42Come out.
01:20:43Come out.
01:20:44Come on.
01:20:45Get out of here, Parker.
01:20:46Go on, there you go.
01:20:47Go on, there you go.
01:20:54The note!
01:20:59The note!
01:21:02The note!
01:21:04The blasty note.
01:21:08Where was it?
01:21:09Under your carpet.
01:21:10My instruction.
01:21:12Why on earth would you do a thing like that?
01:21:14I don't like Yankees.
01:21:16I don't like what you do with your money.
01:21:18But the things we do for it are a dash sight worth.
01:21:21You're entitled to throw down the glove.
01:21:23Well, if I haven't got a glove, I'll have to accept your apology.
01:21:26You're a sportsman.
01:21:27I'm beginning to like you.
01:21:29Show it to him, Henry.
01:21:30Show him the note.
01:21:32It is the note.
01:21:34It's the note.
01:21:35Well done.
01:21:37The note.
01:21:38The note.
01:21:39Good heavens.
01:21:40The man's all right.
01:21:42Bless you, Mr. Adams.
01:21:43Bless you.
01:21:44Amen.
01:21:46You've got a half an hour, ladies and gentlemen, in which to buy, buy, buy.
01:22:00Make way, please.
01:22:01Make way, please.
01:22:02Excuse me, sir.
01:22:03Do you mind, sir?
01:22:04Excuse me, please.
01:22:06Henry!
01:22:06Henry!
01:22:06Henry!
01:22:06Henry!
01:22:07Henry!
01:22:07Henry!
01:22:08Henry!
01:22:09Henry!
01:22:09Henry!
01:22:10Henry!
01:22:11Henry!
01:22:12Henry!
01:22:13The whole thing was a misunderstanding entirely due to the press.
01:22:32Reeds are eternally at your service.
01:22:34Good.
01:22:35Oh, Mr. Adams, there will be champagne in the bridal suite, and with the compliments of
01:22:40Bumper's.
01:22:41Good.
01:22:44Hold it quite still, Mr. Adams.
01:22:48One month to the day.
01:22:51In fact, to the very hour.
01:22:52A little the worse for wear, but still intact.
01:22:56Congratulations, Mr. Adams.
01:22:57Now that I've carried out my side of the bargain to your satisfaction, what was the bet?
01:23:04Well, you see, I maintain that such is people's attitude to the symbol of wealth, that by just
01:23:11having that little scrap of paper in your possession, without ever cashing it, you could
01:23:15have everything you wanted.
01:23:16Whereas I maintain that as you were denied the right to cash it, it would be quite useless
01:23:20to you.
01:23:20But I only have to look at you, Mr. Adams, to realize I was mistaken.
01:23:24Never have I won a bet more conclusively.
01:23:26I tell you, Roderick, that note can do anything.
01:23:28It even made him 20,000 pounds on the stock exchange.
01:23:31May I say something?
01:23:32By all means, my dear.
01:23:34I agree that the note is extremely powerful, but it isn't quite true to say that it can do
01:23:38anything.
01:23:39You see, I love Henry because he's Henry.
01:23:44The fact is that she left me when she thought I was rich and came back to me only when she
01:23:47discovered that I was really poor.
01:23:50If anything, the note came between us.
01:23:52Oh, oh, do you hear that, Oliver?
01:23:54Come, come, Mr. Adams, but for the note you'd never have met.
01:23:56How do you know?
01:23:57They might have been fated to meet.
01:23:58We're not discussing what might have been.
01:24:00We're concerned only with the facts.
01:24:02Precisely, and the note came between them.
01:24:04It isn't all powerful.
01:24:05As a matter of fact, my dear Oliver, I'm not so sure you won the bet.
01:24:07You can't get out of it, Roderick.
01:24:09Mr. Adams returned the note intact and now has everything he wants.
01:24:12Only I think that there was another's dip.
01:24:14There's nothing to do with it.
01:24:15The note almost wrecked them.
01:24:16He brought them to you.
01:24:27Coachmen, on your way.
01:24:29Of course.
01:24:34I'm kidding.
01:24:35You're welcome.
01:24:36I'm coming.
01:24:37I'm coming.
01:24:38You're welcome.
01:24:38I'm coming.
01:24:39You're welcome.
