旁白:1903年的夏天,一对年老又富有的兄弟, 罗德里克和奥利弗,打了一个赌。奥利弗认为, 一个人靠一张百万英镑的钞票在伦敦能活一个月 他的兄弟罗德里克对此表示怀疑。这时,他们看 见一个身无分文的年轻人在他们的房子外面的人 行道上游荡。他叫亨利,亚当斯,一个美国商人 在伦敦迷了路,不知道该怎么办。
罗德里克:年轻人,请你进来一会,好吗? 亨利:先生,你叫谁啊?是叫我吗?
罗德里克:是的,就是你。
奥利弗:从你左侧的前门进来。 亨利:(仆人给他打开门)谢谢。仆人:早上好,先生,请进。先生,请让 我来带路吧。

没你的事情了。

罗德里克:你对伦敦熟悉吗?
亨利:一点也不熟悉,这是我第一次来伦敦罗德里克:亚当斯先生,不知道你是否介 意我们问几个问题?
亨利:不介意,请问吧。
罗德里克:可不可以问问,你在这个国家 要干点儿什么?你的计划又是什么呢? 亨利:嗯,谈不上有什么计划,我希望能 找到工作,事实上,我在英国上岸纯属偶 然。
奥利弗:这怎么可能呢?
亨利:嗯,你看,在美国的时候,我有自 己的船。大约1个月前,我开船驶出了海 湾……(他的眼睛盯着座子上两兄弟剩下 的残羹剩饭)奥利弗:往下说啊。
亨利:哦,好的。嗯,傍晚时分我发现我被一阵大风刮 到海上去了。这都是我的错。我不知道能否活到早晨。 第二天早上,我正感到绝望的时候,一艘海船发现了我 奥利弗:正是那艘船把你带到了英国。
亨利:是的。事实上我靠做义工来顶替船费,这就是我 为什么衣冠不整的原因了。我上美国大使馆求助,但
是……(兄弟两相顾而笑)
罗德里克:嗯,这一点你倒不必担心,这还是优点呢。 亨利:对不起,先生,你的话我没有听懂。
罗德里克:耐心点儿,亚当斯先生。如果你不介意,我 能不能问问,你手头上有多少钱?
亨利:嗯,老实说,我一分钱都没有了。
奥利弗:(高心地)老兄,真走运!真有运气!(鼓起 掌来)亨利:嗯,这对你们来说可能是运气,但对我来 说可不是。事实上,正好相反。如果你们认为这 是一个笑话,我可不觉得好笑。(亨利起身准备 走)好了,请原谅,我想我该上路了。
罗德里克:亚当斯先生,请别走。你千万不要以 为我们不在意你的感受。奥利弗,把信给他。 奥利弗:是,拿信。(从座上把信拿起来,像送 礼品一样递给亨利)给你信。
亨利:(小心翼翼地接过信)是给我的吗?
罗德里克:是给你的。(亨利要拆信)啊,别拆 你不要拆,现在不是时候,到两点钟你才能打开
亨利:奥,这真可笑。罗德里克:这不可笑,这里边有钱呢。(叫仆人 詹姆斯?
亨利:奥,不,我不需要你们的施舍,我只要一 份老老实实的工作。
罗德里克:我知道你工作是很卖力的,这正是我 们给你这封信的原因。詹姆斯,请送亚当斯先生 出去。
奥利弗:祝你好远,亚当斯先生。
亨利:嗯,怎么不给我讲讲,这究竟是怎么回事 呢?
罗德里克:你很快就会明白的,(看着钟)一个 半小时以后。
仆人:请这边走,先生。
