Mr. Deeds Goes to Town Page #4

The old man emerges from the building and looks up at them

as if he's never seen them before.

AGENT:

Morning, neighbors.

6. TWO SHOT - COBB AND AGENT (FEATURING COBB)

Cobb grabs the old man as he turns to head back into the

building.

COBB:

Remember us? We're the fellows who

were here a minute ago.

AGENT:

Oh, yes. Yes, indeedy. I never

forget a face.

He turns again - but Cobb holds him by the arm and sets

him down on a small packing case.

COBB:

Listen, Pop, we've come all the

way from New York to look up a

fellow by the name of Deeds. It's

important - very important!

AGENT:

(releasing his arm)

You don't have to get rough,

neighbor. All you got to do is

ask.

COBB:

Then please pretend, for just one

fleeting moment, that I'm asking.

Where does he reside?

AGENT:

Who?

Cobb turns away in disgust. Anderson steps forward.

CLOSE SHOT - THE THREE

ANDERSON:

Longfellow Deeds - where does he

live?

AGENT:

Oh, that's what you want! Well,

why didn't you say so in the first

place instead of beating around

the bush? Those other fellows don't

know what they're talking about.

(as he exits scene)

Come on, I'll take you there in my

car. If they'd only explained to

me what they wanted, there would

be no trouble.

He leaves Cobb and Cedar staring after him killingly.
