Brewster's Millions Page #3

---

- Rupert Horn quarrelled with his family.

He went out West.

They never heard from him again.

They thought he was dead,

but he didn't die until last month.

And by then, he was one of

the richest men in America.

- And he bought a baseball team, right?

- No. Oil and real estate.

And you, Mr Brewster, are the sole living

heir of your great-uncle, Rupert Horn.

I think it's only fair to tell Mr Brewster

about the conditions of the will.

Brewster, greetings from the grave.

Don't look. so surprised. Didn't you k.now

your great-grandfather was a honk.y?

The old man married twice.

0ne wife white, produced me.

0ne wife black.,

produced your grandmother.

A chequered family, you might say.

I've outlived 'em all, except you.

They tell me you're my only living relative

and I gotta say, I'm very disappointed.

Look. at ya. What have

you made ofyourself?

A failed baseball player.

I believe in being honest, Brewster.

No bullshit.

I'm stuck. with you.

But... we're gonna have some fun.

Let me... Let me tell you

a little story, Brewster.

When I was seven years old,

my daddy caught me smok.ing a cigar.

Lock.ed me in the broom closet

for three days...

.. with nothing but a box of cigars

and a book. of matches.

No food, Brewster. No water.

Just those goddamn cigars.

Wouldn't let me out until I finished every

one of 'em. Taught me one helluva lesson.

I'm going to do to you

what my daddy did to me.

I'm gonna teach you

to hate spending money.

I'm gonna mak.e you so sick. of it that the

sight of it'll mak.e you want to throw up.

So here's my proposition.

You have 30 days in which

to spend 30 million buck.s.

Ifyou can do it, you get 300 million.

- There's gotta be a catch.

- 0f course there's a catch.

You have to spend the 30 million,...

..but after 30 days

you're not allowed to own any assets.

No houses, no cars, no jewellery,...

..nothing but the shirt on your back..

It sounds easy, don't it? Yeah.

You'll find out.

No, no, no, no.

Now.

You can hire anybody you want but

you gotta get value for their services.

You can donate five per cent to charity

and gamble another five per cent away,...

..but you can't give it away.

That includes buyin' the Hope diamond

for some bimbo as a birthday present.

0h, I k.now what you're think.ing, Brewster.

You'll buy yourself a dozen Picassos

and use them for firewood, right?

Wrong! You must not destroy

what is inherently valuable.

That's instant disqualification.

0h, yeah. I almost forgot.

You're not allowed to tell anybody

why you have to spend this money.

- Why can't I tell my friends?

- I don't want anybody helping you out.

Nobody helped me out

in that closet with those cigars.
