Mr. Deeds Page #4

Synopsis: When Longfellow Deeds, a small-town pizzeria owner and poet, inherits $40 billion from his deceased uncle, he quickly begins rolling in a different kind of dough. Moving to the big city, Deeds finds himself besieged by opportunists all gunning for their piece of the pie. Babe, a television tabloid reporter, poses as an innocent small-town girl to do an exposé on Deeds. Of course, Deeds' sincere naiveté has Babe falling in love with him instead. Ultimately, Deeds comes to find that money truly has the power to change things, but it doesn't necessarily need to change him.

with his motorcycle again.

You're safe there.

Ken and I are kind of taking a break.

Really? So he moved out?

Babe, what are you staying here for?

I have a spare bedroom.

We tried that once, remember?

I woke up and you were standing

over my bed, breathing heavily.

I was having an asthma attack.

I couldn't find my puffer.

Easy, fellows.

The Biggie Fries are making a comeback.

You guys football fans? The Pats

could take the conference this year.

The Dolphins are overrated

and the Jets are choke artists.

I wouldn't say that, Mr. Deeds.

- Just Deeds. Why is that, though?

- You own the Jets, Deeds.

I do?

That sucks.

I hope they don't play the Pats

in the playoffs or I'll have to kill myself.

I'm still very worried about this.

What do you got in that pipe, hashish?

You're paranoid.

- This guy's perfect for us.

- What if he won't sell us his shares?

If I got Blake to trust me with his company...

...I can get this moron to do the same.

Look at him.

...I can get this moron to do the same.

Look at him.

That's right, Anderson.

Enough!

Party pooper.

Holy cow!

What's up, New York?

It's an honour to come

to the greatest city in the world!

Congratulations, Deeds, you're now

the most eligible bachelor in New York.

I don't want to meet a girl

just because I'm wicked rich.

That's nice, but let's see

how you stick to your guns...

...once you've paid a visit to one

of our many fine gentlemen's clubs.

What?

My father saved my mother.

She was figure skating

and fell through the ice.

I always thought I'd meet

a girl the same way. Bullspit like that.

Then I'll just keep a lookout

for ladies in distress, as it were.

- That'd be nice.

- Hey, Mandrake Falls!

Security, stop that guy!

Stop! Come back!

He'll get $100,000 for the picture.

It'll be on the news in an hour.

He deserves it with those

James Bond moves he just pulled.

No, he deserves to get his throat cut,

the filthy spy. Come on, let's go.

So this is where my uncle lived?

Yes, sir. For the last 35 years

of his astonishing life.

- You kind of snuck up on me there.

- I am very, very sneaky, sir.

I see that. My name is Deeds.

I am Emilio, sir. I am your servant.

Servant? I don't want a servant,

but if you want to be my friend, I'll take that.

Friends.

Yes, good friends.

Would you like to go to your apartment?

I'm sure it's been an exhausting day.

- That okay with you, Chuck?

- You'll be safe there.

It'll take us a couple days

to draw up the papers for you to sign.

- Go make yourself at home.

- Terrific.

- Later.

- I will be with you shortly, sir.

You got it. Nice to meet you. I'm Deeds.

- I'm Reuben, sir.

- This is a wicked nice elevator.
