Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
What if all your deals fall through? It might be a good thing for you. Anthony P. Kirby:
Man, you're crazy. Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Well, maybe I am. I used to be just like you. Then, one morning when I was going up the elevator, it struck me I wasn't having any fun. So, I came right down and never went back. Yes sir. That was 35 years ago. Anthony P. Kirby:
Admirable. You haven't done a thing since, huh? Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff:
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Just the things I wanted to do. I collected stamps. Went to the zoo when I got the notion. Took up the harmonica. And even found time to notice when Spring came around

What if it does fall through?
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.621
What if all your deals fall through?
00:00:05.872 --> 00:00:08.784
-Might be a good thing for you.
-Man, you're crazy.
00:00:08.868 --> 00:00:12.987
Well, maybe I am,
but I used to be just like you once.
00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:16.815
Then one morning,
when I was going up in the elevator...
00:00:16.899 --> 00:00:19.077
...it struck me I wasn't having any fun.
00:00:20.103 --> 00:00:23.432
So I came right down and never went back.
00:00:24.306 --> 00:00:26.969
Yes, sir. That was 35 years ago.
00:00:27.999 --> 00:00:29.799
Admirable.
And you haven't done a thing since?
00:00:29.924 --> 00:00:33.752
Oh, yes. Just the things I wanted to do.
00:00:34.169 --> 00:00:35.791
Collected stamps.
00:00:35.917 --> 00:00:40.577
Went to the zoo when I got the notion,
took up the harmonica again...
00:00:40.952 --> 00:00:44.572
...and even found time
to notice when spring came around.
00:00:44.822 --> 00:00:49.094
This would be a fine country if we
visited the zoo and played the harmonica.
00:00:50.107 --> 00:00:53.727
You used to play one yourself.
Tony said so.
00:00:54.435 --> 00:00:56.806
Maybe you ought to take it up again.
00:00:57.997 --> 00:01:01.799
Maybe it would stop you trying to be
so desperate about making more money...
00:01:01.925 --> 00:01:03.631
...than you can ever use.
00:01:04.999 --> 00:01:07.542
You can't take it with you, Mr. Kirby.
So what good is it?
00:01:08.025 --> 00:01:13.999
As near as I can see, the only thing you can
take with you is the love of your friends.
00:01:14.993 --> 00:01:17.571
Why don't you go out
and get yourself a pulpit somewhere?
00:01:18.404 --> 00:01:19.735
I'm sorry.
00:01:19.985 --> 00:01:22.232
-Which one is Vanderhof?
-Right here.
00:01:22.774 --> 00:01:25.999
Hello, Mr. Vanderhof. Remember me?
00:01:25.895 --> 00:01:27.143
Twitch-face.
00:01:27.226 --> 00:01:32.994
Yes, I heard that you were in trouble
and came over to see if I could help you out.
00:01:32.178 --> 00:01:34.217
Why should you want to help me?
00:01:34.301 --> 00:01:37.999
To tell you the truth,
I thought that if I did you a favor--
