Like a forgotten man

Well, that clears the whole matter up beautifully

My Man Godfrey • 1936

Godfrey:

Do you mind telling me just what a scavenger hunt is? Irene:
Well, a scavenger hunt is exactly like a treasure hunt, except in a treasure hunt you try to find something you want, and in a scavenger hunt you try to find something that nobody wants. Godfrey:
Hmm, like a forgotten man? Irene:
That's right, and the one who wins gets a prize, only there really isn't a prize. It's just the honor of winning, because all the money goes to charity, that is, if there is any money left over, but there never is. Godfrey:
Well, that clears the whole matter up beautifully

00:00:03.071 --> 00:00:06.241

Oh, isn't that marvelous!

00:00:06.324 --> 00:00:08.618

Right over there.

00:00:08.702 --> 00:00:11.058

Oh, Mr. Guthrie! Come on. This way.

00:00:11.663 --> 00:00:14.916

Mr. Guthrie! Mr. Guthrie! Mr. Guthrie!

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.253

Mr. Guthrie, I have a forgotten man!

00:00:18.336 --> 00:00:19.588

I have a forgotten man!

00:00:19.671 --> 00:00:23.675

Mr. Guthrie! Mr. Guthrie, this is Godfrey! He's a forgotten man!

00:00:23.759 --> 00:00:26.219

- Mr. Guthrie! - She has a forgotten man! A forgotten man.

00:00:26.303 --> 00:00:28.555

- His name is Godfrey. - A forgotten man?

00:00:28.638 --> 00:00:31.998

Ladies and gentlemen, please, quiet, quiet.

00:00:31.099 --> 00:00:32.851

Miss Bullock has a forgotten man.

00:00:32.934 --> 00:00:35.729

Uh, do you mind stepping up on the platform, please.

00:00:35.812 --> 00:00:38.003

Yes, get right up on the platform, Godfrey.

00:00:39.733 --> 00:00:42.986

- Sir, do you mind if I ask you a few questions? - Fire away.

00:00:43.003 --> 00:00:47.115

- What is your address? - City Dump 32, East River, Sutton Place.

00:00:47.199 --> 00:00:50.327

- It's rather fashionable over there, isn't it? - In spots.

00:00:50.041 --> 00:00:53.789

- Is that your permanent address? - Well, the permanency is rather questionable.

00:00:53.872 --> 00:00:56.166

See, the place is being rapidly filled in.

00:00:57.918 --> 00:01:01.254

- Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? - If it isn't too personal.

00:01:01.338 --> 00:01:04.007

- Are those whiskers your own? - No one else has claimed them.

00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:08.345

I must ask because one group tried to fool the committee the earlier part of the evening

00:01:08.428 --> 00:01:11.223

by putting false whiskers on one of their own group.

00:01:11.306 --> 00:01:12.557

May I, uh -

00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:15.031

- May I, uh - - What?

00:01:15.393 --> 00:01:17.998

Oh, it's a pleasure.

00:01:17.145 --> 00:01:20.482

One more question. Are you wanted by the police?

00:01:20.565 --> 00:01:22.651

That's just the trouble. Nobody wants me.

00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:25.999

- A very good answer. - Splendid, Godfrey.

00:01:25.999 --> 00:01:27.999

You mean, nobody wants him? Nobody at all?

00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:29.095

- Nobody. - Oh, that's too bad.

00:01:30.001 --> 00:01:32.327

On the contrary, I sometimes find it a great advantage.

00:01:32.041 --> 00:01:34.006

The committee is satisfied.

00:01:34.012 --> 00:01:36.748

Miss Irene Bullock wins 20 points for a forgotten man

00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:39.209

and 50 points extra for bringing in the first one.

00:01:39.292 --> 00:01:42.003

- Oh, bravo! - Speech! Speech!

00:01:42.017 --> 00:01:43.999

Group ten -

00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:45.999

'Speech! 'Speech!
