Dialogue Stan: Do you mind if I have another idea? Ollie: If it's anything like the last one, YES! Mickey Finn: I'm Mary's legal guardian. What do you want to see her for? Ollie: [smiling and shutting his eyes in his famous charming disarming way] Well, sir, we aren't supposed to talk about that to anyone else. Stan: Yeah, you see, it's PRIVATE. Her father died and left her a gold mine, and we're not supposed tell it to anyone but her, right Ollie? Ollie: [glaring at Stan] Now that he's taken you into our CONFIDENCE...You might as well know the rest! Mickey Finn: [enters room] Lola, Lola, we've got a fortune right in the palm of our hand! Lola Marcel: What do you mean? Mickey Finn: There's a couple of desert rats downstairs looking for Mary Roberts. Lola Marcel: What about it? Mickey Finn: They've got a deed to a very valuable gold mine left to her by her father, and they're here to deliver it to her in person. Lola Marcel: Well, ain't that just grand! Mickey Finn: It would be... if you were Mary Roberts. Lola Marcel: I gotcha, but I'd never get away with it. Mickey Finn: Sure you would; they've never seen Mary Roberts. Lola Marcel: Then it's a cinch! Lola Marcell: Oh, tell me about my dear, dear Daddy! Is it true that he's dead? Stan: Well, we hope he is. They buried him. Mickey Finn: And I'll take care of those two bozos and get them out of town. Lola Marcel: [Stan enters and overhears Lola talking to Mickey] Don't worry, leave everything to me. I've done pretty good up to now, haven't I? Stan: You certainly have, I wish you were in my shoes. Mickey Finn: Eh-hrm, oh how about a drink on the house? Oliver: That suits me fine. Stan: How'd you get dressed so quick? Oliver: None of your business. [Finn goes to open his front door] Oliver: Goodbye Miss Roberts, and thanks for the use of your boudoir. Lola Marcel: You're very welcome. Stan: Goodbye. Now that you've got the mine, I bet you'll be a swell gold-digger. Ollie: [Stan and Ollie stop walking, Ollie does a double take] Did you hear what she said her name was? Stan: Sure, Mary Roberts. Ollie: How can she be Mary Roberts when we've just given the deed to Mary Roberts? Stan: I don't know. [crushes a cigar butt with his shoe] Ollie: I smell a rat. Stan: I smell something too. [discovers his shoe is smoking from the cigar butt, dunks his feet into the janitor's water pail] Ollie: Come on. [Stan and Ollie go back to the kitchen; they remove their hats] Ollie: Pardon me, did you ever have a father by the name of Cy Roberts? Mary Roberts: Why, yes. He left me here with these people years ago when he went prospecting. Ollie: Well, who's that woman upstairs? Mary Roberts: That's Lola Marcel, Mr. Finn's wife. She's my legal guardian now. [Stan taps Ollie on the shoulder, and accidentally bangs his head on a hanging frying pan] Stan: Can I speak to you for a minute? Ollie: Pardon us. Stan: Yeah, we'll be right back. [Stan and Ollie head for the main hall] Stan: You know what? Ollie: What? Stan: I think we've given that deed to the wrong woman. That's the first mistake we've made since that guy sold us the Brooklyn Bridge. Ollie: Oh, buying that bridge was no mistake. That's gonna be worth a lot of money to us someday. Stan: Well, maybe you're right. We'd better go and get the deed. Ollie: Say, maybe they won't give it back to us. Stan: What do you mean, they won't give it back to us? We'll get that deed, or I'll eat your hat. Ollie: That's what I call determination. Stan: Your hat's dry. Ollie: Oh that reminds me, you made a statement this afternoon. Stan: Did I? Ollie: Mmm-hmmm. You said if we didn't get the deed, you'd eat my hat. Stan: Oh, now you're taking me literally. Ollie: Nevertheless, I'm going to teach you not to make rash promises. [Puts hat in his lap] Ollie: Eat the hat. Stan: Oh that's silly. Whoever heard of anybody eating a hat? Ollie: Whoever heard of anybody doing that. [Imitates Stan's thumb lighter gimmick] Ollie: Eat the hat! Stan: [Gives it back] I won't do it. Ollie: [Slams it back in his lap] If you don't eat that hat, I'll tie you to a tree and let the buzzards get you! Stan: Would you really do that? Ollie: I certainly would. Eat it.
