Brewster's Millions | 1985

This is Chuck Fleming, Action News, in Manhattan.

Now arriving at the Plaza Hotel is Montgomery Brewster, baseball pitcher,...

..who earlier today inherited $30 million tax-free, and is still celebrating.

Mr Brewster, what will you do with that money?

Spend it. No, just kidding.

I'm forming a corporation tonight. Tomorrow, we go into business.

What kind of business is that?

As you know, my business is baseball...

..but since I've inherited $30 million, I have to branch out.

I've always had a soft spot for artists and painters, writers, inventors.

I'm gonna form this business and I want everybody to get a shot.

Even if you've been turned down a thousand times, I'm hiring.

How many people have you hired already, Mr Brewster?

Well, I think you should ask my senior vice president, Spike Nolan.

Yeah. Spike. Uh, I'm paying him $100,000 a month to figure it out.

100,000! Did you hear? 100,000 a month!

Chuck Fleming!

Hey, are we on the air now, Chuck?

Yes, right there.

Can I say something to all the people who thought I was a loser?

Thanks, Chuck! Hey, Monty! Monty!

Spike Nolan, the catcher for the Hackensack Bulls.

I would love to accommodate you and your friends,...

..but the top two floors have already been reserved.

They'll be occupied within two weeks.

How much are they paying you?

$100,000 a week.

Wow! Mister, uh...

Carter.

Mr Carter, I like your hotel. My friends like your hotel.

Do you like this hotel?

I do. I love it.

He loves it, too. Listen. I'll tell you what.

For the next month, I'll pay you...

..$1 million in cash.

Sign here, please.
