1 New York, a world within a city - - where anything might happen. 2 On the night of June 18th, in the lower east side St. John's Orphanage was - - - 3 "Are the children safe?" 4 "All but one - Father." 5 "Hey! Where you goin' in that kimona?" 6 The following morning - the home of Max Ginsberg - Junk Dealer. 7 His business taught him the gentle philosophy of seeing value in everything. 8 Dynamite - - a worn-out race-horse - - - now Ginsberg's sole companion. 9 The commercial center - where money talks - and the world listens. 10 The law office of Richard L. Scott. 11 "What do you want done with these Ginsberg papers - - his claim is about outlawed, isn't it?" 12 "Ginsberg is the rightful owner of those patents - but he has never been able to prove it." 13 "Those unscrupulous attorneys, Bernard and Winkler, disappeared - - however, I'll make one more effort." 14 "There's no market for empty bottles." 15 "I'll pay the nickel -- but tonight I wouldn't sleep a wink." 16 "What am I - - a sight-seeing bus?" 17 "An honest boy in this neighborhood? - - a nickel you should have." 18 "Why can't you give me a job?" 19 "Please mister - -" 20 "A job you want - you talk like I pay income tax." 21 "Maybe I could watch your horse." 22 "What's your name?" 23 [text appears one word at a time] "Timothy - Patrick - Alyoisius - Michael - Kelly." 24 "Oi - it sounds like the roll call for a St. Patrick's parade." 25 "There's two more, but I can't think of 'em." 26 The Wall Street District - where they dry clean without gasoline. 27 "Ginsberg!" 28 "Don't worry, he didn't see me." 29 Mother Malloy - who sold so many apples three doctors went out of business. 30 "You've got the look of an apple in your eye." 31 [last line of text appears after a beat] "Couldn't you make two small ones out of this big one -- for the same price?" 32 "Hello Max, is your rheumatism all over?" 33 "All over - every bone in my body aches." 34 "Shure and it's a good thing you're not a herring." 35 "And what's your name?" 36 "Timothy Kelly." 37 "What're ye doin' with Mr. Ginsberg?" 38 "I'm his horse watcher." 39 "Shure, you're a fine combination!" 40 [text in Hebrew dissolves to:] "How is business - - without lying?" 41 [text in Hebrew dissolves to:] "Business is great! -- I'm lying." 42 "How do you say 'goodbye' in Jewish?" 43 [text in Hebrew: "Goodbye"] 44 Misery loves company - and besides - that night Timothy Kelly was looking for a place to sleep. 45 "Something tells me that I'm going to be a great help to you - Mr. Ginsberg." 46 "Mr. Ginsberg, hot water is very good for rheumatism." 47 "I'll take good care of you, Mr. Ginsberg." 48 "Well, I guess I'll have to be going, Mr. Ginsberg." 49 "Here's your Chinese newspaper." 50 "That's Jewish." 51 "Are you a Jewish man?" 52 "Do I look like an Eskimo?" 53 "Look! It stands in the paper that Timothy Kelly was burned up by the Orphanage fire." 54 "Goodbye, Mr. Ginsberg." 55 "Goodbye, Dynamite." 56 "Dynamite's a nice horse, Mr. Ginsberg." 57 "Fifteen years ago by the Louisville Kentucky races - - he won the derby." 58 "I wish he'd win one to fit me." 59 "Why, Mr. Ginsberg, it's raining outside." 60 "I should worry -- I ain't goin' out." 61 "Mr. Ginsberg - - do you happen to have a raincoat?" 62 "I'd have plenty raincoats if I hadn't been robbed." 63 "Robbed? Why, Mr. Ginsberg, you never told me about that!" 64 "Look, Mr. Rosenblatt - my new patent will save time and labor." 65 "It's a great idea, Ginsberg - - by this you should make a fortune." 66 "So I trusted my invention to a couple of lawyers -" 67 "They stole my patent - now they've got everything - I have nothing." 68 "I tried for years to make them pay - now I don't even know what's become of them - -" 69 As time passed these two lonely souls were drawn together by the bond of human love - - and Max Ginsberg found himself a partner in his own business. 70 "Now we're partners - fifty-fifty." 71 "Please, Uncle Max, let me go out today - - I've watched you buy - -" 72 "I can talk with my hands, n' everything." 73 "How much money have we?" 74 [oversize text] "We?" 75 "Four dollars." 76 "And besides - - I'm a business man." 77 "What makes you think so?" 78 "Anybody that could take four dollars away from you must be a business man." 79 [last two lines of text appear after a beat] When Alexander the Great started out to conquer the world, he had a great army - Timothy Kelly had four dollars. 80 "Goodbye, four dollars -" 81 "- but bring back the horse and wagon." 82 Dynamite's feet had been on cobble stones so long that Fifth Avenue felt like a mattress. 83 "I'm Mr. Kelly of Ginsberg and Kelly - - buying high class junk." 84 "We pay the highest prices of any firm in New York." 85 "Dynamite!" 86 "Oats!" 87 "It's out of style - -" 88 "Lining's in bad condition." 89 "The moths must have had a wonderful time in this coat!" 90 "Pants - not so good." 91 "How much, Madam?" 92 "I'll leave it to your judgment." 93 "They're worth at least fifteen cents." 94 "You keep the money, little boy." 95 "No thanks, business is business." 96 "Hello, little girl!" 97 "I'm not a girl, my name's Reginald!" 98 "I pay real money for rags and bottles." 99 "How much apiece?" 100 "One cent." 101 "I'll take twenty-five cents worth." 102 "They're full." 103 After buying all the junk he could find except the Battleship Washington - Timothy Kelly was down to his last dollar. 104 "Aren't you Timmy Kelly?" 105 "I thought you were lost in the fire." 106 "What are you doing here?" 107 "Where is this Mr. Ginsberg?" 108 "Oh -- he's sick -- but I'm running the business." 109 "He's a very nice man - and don't worry, Father - we're church-going people too." 110 "Sure, every Saturday he takes me to the Synagogue." 111 [oversize text] "What!!!" 112 "But every Sunday I take him to Mass." 113 "That's fine, Tim - - but I'm afraid I'll have to take you back to the new Home." 114 "Please, Father, he needs me -- and you wouldn't want to break up our business - -" 115 "Not for the world, Timmy -- but it's my duty." 116 "But, Father - - the Jewish newspaper said I was dead - -" 117 "Well, Timmy - dead or alive you'll get along all right - good luck to you." 118 After a successful day, Timothy Kelly, the 'rag man' finally established himself in the heart of Max Ginsberg as a business man. 119 "How is our little Irish friend getting along?" 120 "He couldn't be any smarter if he was born in Moscow." 121 "My heart is full of love for that boy." 122 "You like Uncle Max, don't you, Mrs. Malloy?" 123 "Sure, he reminds me of my third husband." 124 "Well, why don't you two get married?" 125 "Why don't you mind your business?" 126 "I'll pick me own cave man." 127 "Say Kelly - - for me don't be a marriage maker." 128 "Name, please." 129 "Richard L. Scott." 130 "Mr. Scott to see you." 131 "Show him in." 132 "Who's the kid, Ginsberg?" 133 "That's Kelly - - my partner - - an Irisher." 134 "I think we're on Bernard's trail at last. He's living somewhere in New York under the name of Bishop." 135 "His partner, Winkler, seems to have dropped out of sight." 136 "For me, I don't care - it's the boy I'm thinkin' of now." 137 "For twenty-five cents he bought enough bottles to make a bootlegger independent - -" 138 "It looks like business is pretty good." 139 "Yes, I bought all of these bottles for twenty-five cents." 140 "They were full but we emptied them." 141 "That's the best joke I ever heard." 142 "Congratulations." 143 "Where did you get them?" 144 "From a nice little boy at 19 Park Avenue." 145 "What was the boy's name?" 146 [text appears one line at a time] "Ye Gods! My boy! My cellar!" 147 "He's my lawyer - he came to tell me about those men who robbed and cheated me - -" 148 "He says that Bernard is in New York now, calling himself Bishop." 149 "He can't seem to get any trace of the other fellow - - - Winkler." 150 "Vell - a clean conscience gathers no moss." 151 "I'd like to see Mr. Bishop, please." 152 "There's no Mr. Bishop here." 153 "Maybe his name is Bernard now." 154 "Please, I must see him - -" 155 "I'm Kelly of Ginsberg and Kelly, 62 MacDougal Alley - I guess you know Uncle Max." 156 "I found a letter in your old coat - - it was from your partner Mr. Winkler, who was sick in Denver, and it told about all the money you owe Max Ginsberg." 157 "Where is the letter?" 158 "I burned it up before I knew - -" 159 "In the eyes of the law you have no evidence." 160 "But just the same the money belongs to Uncle Max - -" 161 "Please - - you have everything - - he has nothing - - except me." 162 "You can't look me straight in the eye, Mr. Bishop." 163 "But Uncle Max is poor - he's sick - he needs help." 164 "Some day you'll be sorry - - Mr. Bishop." 165 "Kelly - - if you don't like your name - - change it to Levinsky." 166 "- - I bragged I was a business man." 167 "Anybody what can fill a junk wagon with four dollars these days is a business man." 168 "I'm too little to be a business man - - I'm going back where I belong." 169 "I tried to help you - but I failed." 170 "Kelly - - I love every mistake you make." 171 "Some day when I get big I'll pay you back." 172 "Please don't go, Kelly - ain't we fifty-fifty?" 173 "I'll send these clothes to you from the Home - -" 174 "I can look you straight in the eye now." 175 "Bernard - you name changer - you thief -" 176 "All these years you are rich with my money - - you low life." 177 "I came here to make amends." 178 "It wasn't you that brought me." 179 "It was that boy." 180 "I came to give you two hundred thousand dollars." 181 "Tomorrow - - I'll give you the money that has been coming to you all these years." 182 "Uncle Max - - how about the interest?" 183 "That's Kelly - - my partner." 184 "Now I'll have balloon tires put on that wagon." 185 "I'll see you at ten in the morning --" 186 "If nothing happens to me." 187 "James." 188 "Drive carefully, please." 189 "$200,000 - - Oi - - I'm a millionaire." 190 "I got everything - the world is mine - four cheers." 191 "I'll buy a bath tub -" 192 "I'll have Dynamite's tail bobbed." 193 "I'll buy a car load of Matzos." 194 "I'll buy a brand new second-hand Ford." 195 "Just a minute, Mr. Ginsberg - - don't get so reckless with our money." 196 "Oi - oi - such a business man." 197 "Kelly." 198 "Ginsberg." 199 Springtime - - - The Idle Rich. 200 "Who are those people?" 201 "They're the largest antique dealers in the city." 202 [text increases in size] "Fore!" 201 "I wouldn't give but three ninety eight." 202 "Still a business man."
