Brewster's Millions Page #10

Synopsis: Brewster is a minor league baseball player. Unknown to him, he had a (recently deceased) rich relative. In order to test if Brewster knows the value of money, he is given the task of disposing of $30m in 30 days. Brewster isn't allowed to have any assets to show for the $30m or waste the money in any way. If successful, Brewster gets to inherit $300m. The biggest problem of all however, is that Brewster can't tell anyone what he's doing, so everyone thinks he's crazy. Add to this the fact that if he fails, two scheming trustees will get their hands on the money, Brewster's task is not an easy one.

..so Monty would think he'd spent it.

I forgot to give her the receipt.

It was an honest mistake.

Gentlemen, is there any truth

to this accusation?

Preposterous. We're completely innocent.

- You are fired, Miss Drake.

- Oooh.

My lucky day, huh, Warren?

You're my pal, right?

You're a liar, Warren.

You tricked me! Set me up!

No, no, no. That was just a coincidence.

You're a terrible liar

and an awful decorator.

- It's better than being rabbits.

- What are you insinuating?

You're a big girl. You figure it out.

Hold it, hold it, sister. Take it easy.

You're a lady.

I want you to remain a lady.

That's excellent advice,

Mr Brewster, but a little late.

I'm glad you did that because

I'm gonna sue you for so much money,...

..you'll be in debt to me for life.

How d'you like to settle

out of court for $20,000 in cash?

You think I came down with the last

drop of rain? I'm not falling for that.

No settlements. I'm taking you to court.

What are you gonna do?

When that clock strikes 12,

you are dead broke for life.

You're a loser. A real loser.

I'll need an attorney.

Will $20,000 be enough of a retainer?

- I'm a paralegal. I don't have a degree.

- You can get one with $20,000.

- You need a receipt!

I'll give you a receipt.

Please! Hurry, please.

As the executor of your

great-uncle's will, I hereby declare...

..that the full inheritance

of $300 million is yours.

Wow!

Congratulations.

Gentlemen, I sense

conspiracy to defraud here.

I'll have to order a full investigation,

with your consent, Mr Brewster.

Well... Send 'em to the showers.

It'll take 20 years to dry off where

you're goin'. Better take a big towel.

Mr Roundfield, you're a real nice man.

Thank you very much.

You're a real nice man.

Warren, better learn the blues.

You know...

# Hey, baby, I'm sorry I did it

# I didn't mean to do it

# We got the money
