and I'll give you $5000.

But the notes aren't due.

I've got almost a month.

This place has been losing money steadily.

You'll never be able to pay.

If you wait, I'll take it over,

and you won't get a cent.

As your business manager, Judy, I strongly

advise you to take Mr. Morgan's offer.

You're forgetting that doctor

Mrs. Upjohn recommended.

Surely with him in charge,

we'll be able to pay Mr. Morgan.

Are you going to take the advice

of a hysterical patient?

- Now, look here, Miss Standish...

- Judy!

- Judy, he's here! He's here!

- Why, who's here?

Dr. Hackenbush!

Are you going to sign that or not?

- No.

- Of course she's not going to sign it.

I have a month. I can at least

try this new doctor.

You're going to wish

you'd taken that check.

Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan!

- You fixed that, all right.

- How'd I know she was going to butt in?

- I'll get to work on this new doctor.

- Work fast.

With Dr. Hackenbush in charge,

I'm sure my trustees will let me help you.

- I think I'm better able to advise...

- I don't want to hear any more about it.

I can't stand this excitement.

I know this will cause a relapse.

Oh, my metabolism! Doctor!

Oh, doctor!

Here, boy. Here, boy.

Take these bags to my room,

and here's a dime for yourself.

Oh, no, no, no, no. This is Mr. Whitmore,

our business manager.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Here's a quarter.

You mustn't take the doctor

too seriously.

He probably feels tired

after his long trip.

Why shouldn't I be tired?

Did you ever ride four on a motorcycle?

And me, top man.

This is Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush,

your new chief of staff.

And now, doctor,

I'd like you to meet Miss Standish.

Oh, doctor.

Doctor.

Just a moment,

while I calm these paralytics.

Oh, dear. Doctor.

Doctor, this is Miss Standish,

owner of the sanitarium.

- How do you do, Miss Standish?

- How do you do?

You're the prettiest owner

of a sanitarium I've ever seen.

- Thank you.

- You have a charming place here.

I knew your mother very well.

I'll let you in on a little secret.

Many, many years ago,

in the dear, dim past...

...I proposed to your mother.

- But that's my father.

- No wonder he turned me down.

Now, doctor, I'd like you

to meet your new associates.

Johnson, Bellevue Hospital, 1918.

Franco, Johns Hopkins, '22.

- Wilmerding, Mayo brothers, '24.

- Dodge brothers, late '29.

Doctor, I'm happy to welcome

you as chief of staff.

I hope you'll be able to pull

the sanitarium out of its difficulties.

The sanitarium's having

a little financial trouble.

I get it. I'm not gonna get paid.

So long! Take it away!

Oh, no, no, no.

Doctor, please don't go.

- I'll take care of your salary.

- Oh, yeah?
