Andrew V. McMahon : And I thought I'd led up to it so nicely, so it wouldn't be a shock.
Robert P. Chesley - Uncle Robby : Oh, you did it wonderfully. It's not everyday a man learns he's a millionaire. I'd given up that dream at least fifty years ago.
Andrew V. McMahon : Fifty years ago? Well, that's pretty young for a man to give up his dreams.

[Suddenly alarmed]
Robert P. Chesley - Uncle Robby : Honeymoon? Oh, gosh. My will.
Andrew V. McMahon : Is anything wrong?
Robert P. Chesley - Uncle Robby : Oh, yes. Something is very wrong. I must get to my lawyer and change my will! Thank you, thank you for everything.
[Chesley leaves McMahon's office]
Andrew V. McMahon : [Calling after Chesley] Good luck and take care of yourself.
