## 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.
