Transcript
00:12We'll drive up to Connecticut, get married, and by this time tomorrow we'll be on the boat on our way.
00:17Married tonight you meet?
00:18Yes.
00:19Bill, that's the movies.
00:20Not this, isn't it?
00:22But there's a family.
00:24Family?
00:25Outside of my sister Sally and a couple of broken down uncles.
00:27Oh, not yours, mine.
00:29I wasn't found in a flowerpot, darling.
00:32Your family, Angelface.
00:33We'll go right up and tell them.
00:42Mr. Harrison.
00:45I wonder if you'd mind answering a personal question.
00:48Well, shoot, Henry.
00:50How does it feel to be rich?
00:53What do you mean?
00:53What I'm driving at is whether you don't feel a whole lot superior to people like us.
00:59Sorry, I don't.
01:01I want to warn you that this is chronic with Henry.
01:04Now, you take us right here, for instance.
01:05We're just plain people.
01:07We work for a living.
01:08We work like horses.
01:09We get a few dollars a head and something always happens to take it away.
01:13So we start all over again.
01:15But do we kick about it?
01:17No, we stick it through.
01:18And what do we get for it?
01:20That's my question, Mr. Harrison.
01:22What do we get for it?
01:48I want to be with you.
01:49Either you come with me or I stay here.
01:51You wouldn't last 24 hours here.
01:54We'll see about that.
01:56Well, I didn't mean for him to go crazy.
01:59All I did was explain to him about people like us.
02:02For 90 million people.
02:03Shut up, will you, Henry?
02:04And so my brother should distribute our $6 million among 90 million people.
02:09Yes.
02:11That should average about the price of one package of chewing gum
02:14for each suffering citizen of the great middle class.
02:17But don't you see?
02:18That isn't the idea.
02:19Pardon me.
