My Man Godfrey Page #3

Oh, it's a pleasure.

One more question.

Are you wanted by the police?

Ah, that's just the trouble.

Nobody wants me.

- Oh, very good answer.

- Splendid, Godfrey.

You mean, nobody wants him?

Nobody at all?

- Nobody.

- Oh, that's too bad.

On the contrary,

I sometimes find it a great advantage.

The committee is satisfied.

Miss Irene Bullock...

wins 20 points

for a forgotten man...

and 50 points extra

for bringing in the first one.

- Oh, bravo!

- Speech! Speech!

Group ten...

- Speech! Speech!

- Group ten wins the silver cup.

- Oh, thank you.

- Speech! Speech!

- They want a speech. Come on!

- Speech!

My purpose in coming here

tonight was twofold.

Firstly, I wanted

to aid this young lady.

Secondly, I was curious to see...

how a bunch empty-headed nitwits

conducted themselves.

My curiosity is satisfied.

I assure you it will be

a pleasure for me...

to go back to a society

of really important people.

- What did he call us?

- Nitwits.

- Nitwits? What are they?

- I don't know.

The man's perfect!

I've been wanting to say that,

but I didn't have the nerve.

Oh, Godfrey!

Oh, Godfrey!

Oh, Godfrey,

I'm terribly sorry.

- That's all right.

- I'd never brought you here.

This is the first time I've ever beaten

Cornelia, and you helped me do it.

Well, that makes me

a Cornelia beater, doesn't it?

You've done something for me.

I wish I could do something for you.

- Why?

- Because you've done something for me.

No, I don't see. But I could use a job,

if you've got one.

- Can you "buttle"?

- "Buttle"?

We're fresh out of butlers.

The one we had left this morning.

Irene, they're calling for you

in the jade room.

- Don't you want your cup?

- Tell them to keep their cup.

You can't talk to this man.

What will people think?

I don't care what they think.

Godfrey's gonna be our butler.

- He's gonna be whose butler?

- He's gonna work for us.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

You don't know anything about him.

He hasn't any recommendations...

The last one had recommendations

and stole all the silver.

That was merely a coincidence.

People that take in stray cats

say they make the best pets.

I don't see what cats

have got to do with butlers.

You mustn't pay any attention

to my daughter. She's very impulsive.

- I'm not impulsive!

- Don't shout at your mother.

- I will shout!

- Oh, Mrs. Meriwether, Irene is shouting.

- You mean it's all over?

- Yes, she always shouts when she wins.

Run along, my good man. Thank you so

much for coming. Thank you so, so much.

He will not run along!

I think I'd better.

My word! There's Cornelia,

and she has another one!

You're a little late, Cornelia.

I've won the game.
