That's enough!
It's obvious neither of you remembers
what started this ridiculous
annual birthday brawl.
- It'll come to me, sir.
- I'm sure. Get out of there!
- Cindy Lou?
- Betty.
Oh, sugar pie!
Here we are, the three of us, on one
of the most beautiful islands on Earth.
It's the birthday of two men
I'm proud to call my friends.
We've been through war together.
Bad and bloody days.
Now let's put an end to this fight.
Fleur, break out the beers.
All right, now shake hands.
Yeah, the Doc's a great guy.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday!
- Tommy!
Continue.
When there's dirt to be done,
you hire me.
If it's some simple honest matter,
you hire Pennyfeather,
Pennyfeather and Pennyfeather.
The fact of the matter is, with
the death of your great-aunt Priscilla,
this fellow out in the South Seas,
Doctor William Dedham,
your father, Miss Dedham...
I have never met my father. His
name is not mentioned in the family.
Be that as it may,
unless you can keep him from
inheriting this additional stock,
you'll find yourself mentioning
his name, and quite often,
'cause he'll be the big he-bull
in your shipping company.
I hope you ladies don't find
my language too colourful.
There's a clause in the will,
it's in many of these Boston wills,
although civilised people don't put
such drivel in wills any more.
It says if anyone can prove that
the heir is not of good moral character,
according to Boston standards,
he may be deprived of his inheritance.
Now, if this Doctor Dedham has been
living on some South Sea island
the man has probably behaved
in a way that wouldn't suit Boston.
If you can prove that, you can cheat
him out of his stock and his money.
Anyone object
to me using the word "cheat"?
We are waiting.
That is all.
You'll have my bill in the morning.
- Bon voyage, Miss Dedham.
- Comments?
- Great-uncle Sedley?
- No comment. With reservations.
Be pleased to take over.
Gentlemen, you may go in now.
"Miss Amelia Dedham, daughter
of Doctor Dedham, is arriving ETA..."
- Estimated time of arrival.
- Thank you.
"...ETA 14.00.
Signed Captain Martin, ship Araner."
There it is, gentlemen.
This is for you, the citizens of the
US, to decide. It is not my pigeon.
The question is, does this Miss
Dedham know about her father?
You mean the kids?
- Let her find out.
- So you agree she doesn't?
I can't see
like they were
something to be ashamed of.
I don't know.
If I was in the Doc's shoes...
This dame's from Boston, remember?
Meeting a father she's never seen,
and being confronted by three children.
