Brewster's Millions Page #2

Synopsis: Brewster is a minor league baseball player. Unknown to him, he had a (recently deceased) rich relative. In order to test if Brewster knows the value of money, he is given the task of disposing of $30m in 30 days. Brewster isn't allowed to have any assets to show for the $30m or waste the money in any way. If successful, Brewster gets to inherit $300m. The biggest problem of all however, is that Brewster can't tell anyone what he's doing, so everyone thinks he's crazy. Add to this the fact that if he fails, two scheming trustees will get their hands on the money, Brewster's task is not an easy one.

How do you plead? Guilty or not guilty?

Guilty, but with a real good excuse.

You're gonna love it.

- I plead innocent.

- You see, Your Honour,...

..what you have with

Mr Brewster and myself...

..is a couple of local heroes, really.

We play for a local team. You might

have seen us - the Hackensack Bulls?

Perhaps you know

the "Go, you Bulls, go"?

Let's not waste time. I have depositions

from over a dozen eyewitnesses.

Your Honour, we went into the bar

and we saw this nice lady.

We asked her to sit with us

to have a drink.

I didn't know she had a fianc. Did you?

I didn't know.

It wasn't public knowledge.

So you made advances to a woman

who was involved with another man?

If you don't make calls,

you don't make any sales.

- This man does not represent me.

- I'd remove that from the court records.

I'm going to set your bail at $3,000.

- Not bad.

- We don't have $3,000.

Bailiff, will you remove

the prisoners. Next case.

Your Honour, wait, please. I'd like

to defend myself. The man hit me first.

With the permission of the court!

My name is JB Donaldo.

I represent parties

who wish to remain anonymous...

..and who have instructed me

to post bail for the defendants...

..or pay any fines levied

in case they plead guilty,...

..which I'm sure they will now do.

- Who is he?

- It's the scout.

I told you they want me.

They want me.

We're going to the big time!

- So where to, JB?

- New York.

New York? Yee-ha ha!

The Mets!

I knew it! There's no Mets in here.

Wait a minute.

There's no Mets in this building.

I never mentioned the Mets. Mr Brewster

did. I was just hired to bring him here.

He's not a scout. He's a cop.

Look at him.

Look at those cheap cop shoes.

Cop face, cop hat, cop shirt, cop eyes.

Monty, the Mets don't want you. The

Hackensack Bulls don't even want you.

Look, I ain't supposed to tell you,

but here's who hired me.

Granville & Baxter. As far as I know,

they got nothing to do with the Mets.

It's gonna be great.

It's the Yankees.

- Mr Brewster?

- Right.

- We've been expecting you.

- The arm's OK.

The operation was a success.

The arm's 2 years old now.

Follow me, please.

Wait for me.

- Mr Brewster's here.

- Mr Brewster?

- Yeah.

- I'm Ed Roundfield.

This is Mr George Granville,

Mr Norris Baxter.

- How do you do?

- Perhaps you'd better sit down.

What I'm about to tell you

may come as quite a shock.

No, sir. I wanna hear this standing up.

Have you ever heard

the name Rupert Horn?

Rupert Horn... no. I bet he's someone

high up in the Yankee organisation, right?

I'm afraid not.

Rupert Horn was your great-uncle.

- What's that got to do with baseball?
