Poor girl.
punch you right in the nose.
Sit down!
Any time you make
a date with me, keep it.
By the way, did you put your
aunt's $5,000 in the bank?
Money?
Yeah.
Tickets, please.
Tickets.
How many?
One.
You're cute.
You're silly.
So is your old man.
Willie, do you realize that
a person that puts money...
in this moving picture business
is gonna make a fortune?
Give me that money.
Now...
I got to put that in the bank
like my aunt told me to do.
Willie, listen to this. See it right
here? "Do you want to become rich?
"If so, invest in this new
entertainment medium, Motion Pictures.
"$5,000 cash buys
Willie, opportunity
is knocking at your door!
Tell him I'm not home.
I went to the bank.
Wait a minute, Willie.
Have you no foresight?
I can see it up in lights now.
Piper's Phenomenal Pictures,
Willie Piper, President.
Harry Pierce, General Manager.
That's what will happen
if you give me the $5,000.
If I give you the $5,000, I'll
Look, we're only borrowing the money.
We'll pay your aunt back in no time.
There's a fortune made
Comedies?
Yes.
Harry, I don't like comedies,
I like those dramatic pictures.
Where the little girl says to her papa,
"Papa, please, Papa, don't beat me...
"I beg of you, Papa,
don't beat me, Papa.
"I'll get the money for you,
Papa. Don't beat me, Papa. "
You should be ashamed of yourself,
beating up your son like that.
If I ever catch
you beating that boy again...
I'll report you
to the juvenile authorities.
Did you get hurt? What's the
idea of having me beat up?
I didn't mean to have you beat
up. Here, you can take the money.
I'll take the money
after I have you beat up.
Oh, don't. Now don't
strike your poor old father.
Don't strike
your poor old dad.
I'm your father, Son. Don't
hit me. Please don't hit me.
Harry. Here, listen.
Here, you can take the money,
but don't have me beat up.
Please, don't have me beat up.
Don't beat me up.
What did I just tell you?
You did it again.
I'm sorry, Harry.
Here, you can take my aunt's
money and buy the studio.
Thanks.
Could I have a receipt?
With pleasure.
Now if you'll sign right here, Mr. Piper,
this will complete the transaction...
and you'll become the proud owner
of the best studio in the country.
Mr. Gorman, if this is such a good
studio, why do you want to sell it?
Mr. Piper, that question shows
what a shrewd businessman you are.
The fact of the matter is,
I happen to own two studios...
this one in West Orange, New
Jersey and one in Brooklyn.
The long trip
is just too much for me.
So I'm selling you the studio
in West Orange.
Harry, don't you think we
ought to see this studio first?
Now, Mr. Gorman
is a very busy man.
he should see it.
And busy though I am,
I'm going to show it to him.
Here's a picture of it.
Say, what's this sign,
"Edison"?
That's my middle name,
Joseph Edison Gorman.
Now, will you please
sign here?
Mr. Piper, Mr. Pierce, I want you
to meet one of my leading ladies...
Miss Van Cleef.
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do?
Darling, I don't
want you to get too upset.
I've just sold the West
Orange studio to Mr. Piper.
Thank heavens. I hated that
trip. The ferry made me seasick.
Well, best of luck, gentlemen, and if there's
anything I can do to help, just let me know.
Lots of success to you.
I withdrew all the money from the
bank. Let's make our getaway...
