died before you went on the stage.

I'd have been playing old-man parts by then.

Besides, I don't want any of his money.

I only want to do the things I like,

and kiss the girl I love.

It doesn't seem right, our loving each other

like we do, being related and everything.

Related? We're 13th cousins.

- Thirteenth?

- Thirteenth.

- Say, is that bad luck?

- Nothing's bad luck, sitting here like this.

- Too hot?

- Of course not.

- That spot...

- So what?

It's a precious souvenir to me

- In love?

- In strong

With me? How long?

Oh, since you were about

Now, let me see

- 'Bout 8? 'Bout 10? 'Bout 12?

- No

- Well, when?

- I'll tell you very confidentially

When you were a smile

on your mother's lips

And a twinkle in your daddy's eye

I loved you then

I loved you when

You were a little tender sigh

When I was a babe in my mother's arms

I would wake up with a lonely cry

I cried for you

They never knew

They thought it was my lullaby

I gave up every little toy

I played no game

I was a lonely little boy

Until you came

The days flew apart

You were in my heart

And I waited for the stork to fly

When you were a smile

On your mother's lips

And a twinkle in your daddy's eye

No. That way.

Up.

Careful.

Oh, Barbara.

Barbara, guess what?

Cousin Ezra is on his way

form Buffalo with father.

- And he's gonna give us $ 10 million.

- What's he gonna give Jimmy?

Don't you dare breathe that young

reprobate's name to Cousin Ezra.

My, your father has dreamed of this moment

ever since we were married.

That's all you've talked about

as long as I can remember.

But just think. Ten million dollars.

Oh, I can hardly wait to see

dear, dear Ezra.

I'd rather see Jimmy once

than that old ruin 10 million times.

Barbara, that's almost sacrilege.

Yes, and I wish Uncle Ezra would hurry

and get here so I could tell him so.

Barbara.

Laura, how could

you do this to Cousin Ezra?

Come on, get up.

Barbara will be glad to see you, Ezra.

Why not? And I've got some

good news for you and Mathilda.

While I liquidate $ 10 million, I've decided

to spend about a month at your house.

Oh, that is good news, Ezra.

New York City reeks with sin, especially

the hotels. I wouldn't go near any of them.

Oh, you're right, Cousin Ezra.

And here's something else.

I shall take a second 10 million

to form the O.F. For the E. Of A.M.

- The what?

- The Ounce Foundation...

...for the Elevation of American Morals.

You can elevate a lot of morals

for $ 10 million, Ezra.

New York City is a hotbed of vice.

We'll start with New York and work west.

- Very commendable.

- Mathilda can work south.

I'll give her the southern territory.
