Mr. Deeds
Hello, folks at home.
I'm 100 yards from the top of Mt. Everest.
Yet there's a part of me
that can't wait to end this silly vacation...
...and get back to work,
where the real challenges await.
Shouldn't you take your age
into consideration, sir?
After all, you're 82 years old.
Am I 82?
These numbers mean nothing to me.
My journey through life has just begun.
Sir! Sir!
- Oota tells me the storm's getting worse.
- Very, very bad.
We must abandon our ascent and
go down the mountain immediately.
We're so very close to the top,
I'm heading down now, sir.
I advise you to do the same.
All right, so be it.
See you at the staff meeting on Monday.
And I'll bring the Krispy Kremes!
There, once again, the sad footage
we've been watching all day.
A beloved visionary who turned a single
radio station into a global media empire...
... Preston Blake, dead at 82. More after this.
You're watching
the Blake Broadcasting Network.
the parent company of this network...
... plunged this morning
on the news of Blake's death...
... but bounced back after a statement by
Blake's long-time number 2, Chuck Cedar.
All the king's horses
and all the king's men...
... couldn't save Preston Blake
from becoming a human Popsicle.
And sources indicate that Blake, who was
single and had no children, left no will.
So who inherits Blake's 49 percent stake
in the company's stock...
... valued at $40 billion?
We'll discuss that with people close
to Blake, including his long-time barber...
... on tomorrow's Inside Access.
Until then, I'm Mac McGrath.
- Are we clear?
- Clear!
Babe? Where's Babe?
- I'll come over and choke you to death.
- Babe!
I got to go.
Freaking barber!
That's the best you could get me?
People tell everything to their barbers.
He's been his closest confidant
for more than 20 years.
I'm not putting this guy on the air.
Get me something better and get it quick.
Or it's your ass.
Did we find this heir yet?
We should be getting that information
via fax any minute now.
I have lawyers
looking through birth records...
...in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Guam.
In fact, we have a little pool going.
Guam's paying off at 1000-1.
Is this a joke to you?
now controls the fate of this company.
No, I agree. It's troubling.
Troubling? Your beard is troubling.
Your pipe is troubling.
Your yellow teeth are really troubling.
But if I lose control of this company,
it'll be catastrophic.
Does anyone know a Dr. Mendlesohn?
Congratulations, you have a spastic colon.
"Longfellow Deeds."
Chuck, I think we're there.
My God, it's all green.
Look at that thing.
Fighter pilot on your left.
Got that sucker!
You guys lost?
We're looking for somebody:
Longfellow Deeds.
Is that Deeds' first name?
If the Deeds you're referring to
is Longfellow Deeds...
...then yes, that is Deeds' first name.
I don't know Deeds' first name.
Maybe it's Greg.
- Maybe it's Longfellow.
- Maybe.
But I don't know. I know another guy
named Greg. You want me to call him?
No! Thank you.
Please, just tell us where Deeds lives.
All right, don't get all hyperactive.
I'll take you straight to him.
Step right in, fellows.
- He lives at a pizzeria?
- You can't live in a pizzeria.
He lives upstairs. He owns it.
Excuse me. Is Mr. Deeds around?
No, I'm sorry, he's out making deliveries.
The regular delivery guy called in sick.
- But you don't look too sick, Murph.
