My Man Godfrey Page #12

Synopsis: In the depths of the Depression, a party game brings dizzy socialite Irene Bullock to the city dump where she meets Godfrey, a derelict, and ends by hiring him as family butler. He finds the Bullocks to be the epitome of idle rich, and nutty as the proverbial fruitcake. Soon, the dramatizing Irene is in love with her 'protege'...who feels strongly that a romance between servant and employer is out of place, regardless of that servant's mysterious past...

but I guess I've known

your family long enough.

- Who are you going to marry?

- Godfrey. This is Godfrey.

Oh. How do you do, Godfrey?

Does your father

know about this?

Everybody knows about it

except Godfrey.

Well, I guess we better

have a witness.

- Clarence, stand right down here.

- What?

That's fine. Right there.

Come on, Godfrey. Right there.

Well, now, uh,

join hands, please.

- No, the right hand.

- Oh.

Stand still, Godfrey.

It'll all be over in a minute.
