Dialogue

edit
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.
