- Yeah? CAT: Sylvester's inherited a fortune.

Hey, coz.

Sylvester's inherited a million dollars.

Hey, Bernie, hear about Sylvester?

Inherited 3 million dollars.

Sylvester?

Three million?

Ooh, 3 million dollars?

Hey, Benny. Benny?

Sylvester inherited...

3 million dollars.

[GROANS]

I'm rich! I'm rich! Woo-hoo!

I'm rich! Ha-ha-ha!

Rich! Rich!

You, doll.

Woo-hoo! Ha! I'm a rich pussycat.

[LAUGHING]

Sylvester, the handling of money is a great responsibility.

[ALL SINGING "FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW"]

ELMER: Out you cats.

And stay out.

You have a lot of idle cash that should be put to work for you.

You know, uh...

...that guy isn't gonna let Sylvester spend his dough, you know.

Yeah, well, I'll be a dirty bird.

We gotta assist Sylvester, you know.

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

Those alley-cat friends of yours would like to get their paws on it.

Now, the first thing we'll do...

...is invest the money in good companies...

...which will pay you a good return.

Invest it?

Yes, invest it.

No. No. It's mine.

Come back here.

You can't have it. It's mine.

Don't be a fool, you idiot.

Give me that.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Coming.

- Yes? - Please, sir.

Could you help a poor widowed pussycat...

...with an underprivileged child?

Would a few dollars help?

Yeah. I think 50,000 bucks would tide us over.

Darn old cats.

I told you to keep your big mouth shut.

Come back here with that.

I'm gonna make you understand if it takes forever.

Now, try to understand.

Putting this idle cash to work will not only benefit you but everyone.

For example, because people invested in an idea...

...we have the telephone today.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Charlie's a sharpie.

Watch him. Ha-ha-ha.

He'll get the dough.

How do you do, friend?

I represent Hi-Ho Silver Cleaning at Walla Walla, Washington.

Don't worry, we'll get you out.

This cleaner sells for the sum of $ 135 a bottle...

...and for $50,000, I'm authorized to allow you to buy a half interest in the company.

It performs miracles on gold and silver.

I'll borrow your watch for a moment. Thank you. Be patient, kid.

Observe, I pour this miracle liquid into the bowl.

Now I get the article to be cleaned in the solution and presto, a brand new...

[GROANING]

Since I have calls to make, I must be moving along.

But if you wanna buy an interest in the company...

Better luck next time.

- get in touch with the Hi-Ho Silver Company of Walla Walla, Washington, friend.

Ooh, that rascal.

Now, watch, Sylvester.

And pay attention.

Fifty years ago, the standard of living was low.

People work long hours for little pay.

But because people's savings were used to back good ideas...

...and industry plowed back earnings, new products appeared.

New and more efficient industries made more jobs and higher wages.

And shorter working hours to enjoy the higher standard of living.

Hey, uh, that figures, you know.

Yeah, yeah. Sure does.

So without the use of savings for capital investment...

...there would be no new industries, no new jobs...

...no improvement in products, and no progress.

I got it. I got it. I got the money, fellows. I got it!

Oh, what're you trying to do? Upset our whole economic structure?

[IN UNISON] You, dope, put it back!

And that's why investment is so important.

Now, what do you say, Sylvester?

Okay, invest it.

Thanks. You'd have saved me a lot of headaches...

...of you figured out a way to take it with you.

Thanks.
