Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion Page #2

Put that down. Put it

back! "Put that down. "

"Put that down. "

Eeeeh!

What is it?

I must seeJosef at once.

His Excellency Sheik Hamud and

Sergeant Axmann are with Josef.

I have important information.

Josef?

Not now. Out!

Why didn't you warn me, Axmann, that the

Legionnaires would be guarding the construction camp?

Last night's attack cost me 12

men. It was worth it, Sheik Hamud.

This morning at the commandant's office,

the railroad company engineers were raging.

On this very map

they showed him...

that unless he can clear

the desert of your raiders,

they won't be able

to lay the tracks...

from Beni Abbess to Ouargla.

The company will be forced to build

the railroad the long way around...

at a cost of one million pounds.

What did the commandant say?

He promised them more troops. A

full company will proceed tonight...

from Fort Lallemand, here,

to Beni Abbes, here.

Cut them off and destroy

them at El Golea.

The construction camps

will be at our mercy.

Well, always more attacks.

What about money?

If you can stop work on the

railroad for another 30 days,

the company will have to

pay us whatever we demand.

He insists his information cannot wait.

There are two Americans in town

looking for your cousin Abdullah.

What do they want with my cousin?

I-I don't know, Your Excellency.

They may be spies

for the railroad company.

Sheik Hamud, I suggest that you

leave Algiers immediately.

As soon as I finish my business

at the slave auction.

These Americans... can spoil everything.

They will be taken care of,

Excellency, by Ibrim.

He never fails.

I don't want anything to

happen to them in the streets.

Ibrim is wise.

He will drag them

into an alley, and, uh...

Point out the Americans to Ibrim. Yes, sir.

There's one of them.

Go with these

and find the other.

Wait a minute, fellows.

I don't know what this is all about.

Is it because I kissed that girl?

Huh? I hope not. I've never been

in such trouble before in my life.

And... Excuse me, please.

I'll pick it up. I'll pick

it up. What a nightmare!

Whew!

Oooh!

What are you doing in here? Ohhh!

There are some men

outside chasing me.

But if you are found in here with

the girls, you will be killed.

If I'm found outside with the

men, they'll kill me too. Men?

Yeah.

Oh.

There are no men out there.

Are you sure?

See. Go look for yourself. I think I will.

No, here.

That way.

Hey, maybe they're gone.

Ohhh! Hey!

They're out there.

They're out there.

Those are the men from the

Al-Minya tribe. Is that bad?

If they find you, they

will kill you. That's bad.

You cannot go in there!

If the guards find you with the

slave girls, they will kill you.

At least in there

I'll die happy.

Open the door.! Open the door

or we'll break it down.!

Hey, fellows, stand back and take

a run and break the door down.!

Thank you.

Uh-uh, no, you don't.

Get up on your feet.

"Get up. "

Get up on your feet!

That's all you want to do is rest. Ohhh!

Oh, I said get up.

What's the matter?

I told you to watch out for

Abdullah, didn't I? I did.

As soon as my back

is turned you go to sleep.

I found three members

of the Al-Minya tribe.

Where? I opened my eyes and here they were.

Here? Did they tell you where Abdullah is?

They were busy chasing me. They chased

me right into a room full of girls.

Never mind the girls. Tell me about

the men. The girls were beautiful.

Especially the one girl. She was

exotic. She... Never mind. Listen.

Forget about the girls. Tell me about

the men. What did they look like?

They didn't appeal to me. But the

girls, the girls... Never mind the girls!

Will you please tell me about

the men? Yes. Oh, the men?

They were vicious. They were

big. They looked like that. Yes?

One guy had a face... He

had a face all over a face.

With a big mustache like that.

Yes.

And they had little knives too.

They got another name for 'em.

Uh, dirks. Yeah, the whole

three of them were dirks.

In fact, Bud,

What?

they, they looked

like these guys.

A-And every time I took a

step, they would take a step.

Oh, come on.

I think so.

Oh, Bud!

Bud, I wanna go home.

What's the matter?

There's something I want to

take back to America. Me. What?

Will you stop acting like

a coward? Who's acting?

If we go home, Frankie'll

have us bumped off. Oh.

We're safe as long as

we stay here in the crowd.

And now, gentlemen, lot

number 36, three slave girls.

You must buy all three or none.

We cannot break up the set.

Here we are.

Do I have a bid?

I have a bid

of 5,000 francs.

Do I have more?

Do I hear more?

10,000 francs

from the great desert sheik.

Any other bids?

Any other bids?

10,000.

10,000!

Sold to His Excellency!

Slave girls.

Slave girls?

Slave girls.

Uh, a girl you take home.

She cooks for you, she sews for

you, she does all your washing...

and she's a servant

for the rest of your life.

In Algiers, they call 'em "slave girls.

" In America, we call 'em "wives. "

Well? Not yet. They're over there.

Not while I'm here,

you fool.

It might bring

the Legionnaires.

And now

lot number 37.

Six beautiful girls,

the prize of the auction.

Prince Musa Ben Mahmud

is liquidating his holdings.

Just look at these

gorgeous desert flowers.

Do I have a bid? Hey, there's the girl

I met when those guys were chasing me.

Do I hear a bid? We have

no time to bother with her.

I have a bid of 5,000

francs. Hey, wait a minute.

This dame setup might be just

the thing to attract Abdullah.

Let's look around

and see if he's in the crowd.

I now have a bid

of 10,000 francs.

Do I hear more?

Do I hear more?

I now have 15,000. Any

other bid? Any other bid?

I now have 20,000.

I now have

60,000 francs.

The sheik bids 80.

I have now 90, 100, 120.

125.!

140,000.!

160,000 francs!

160,000! Any other bid?

Any other bid?

160,000!

Sold to the American!

Hey, what happened?

Some American bought all

these slave girls. Some...

Hey, get a load

of that guy over there.

He looks mad enough

to slit somebody's throat.

Oh, him? He's my pal. He was waving

at me all through the auction. Yeah.

Then somebody said, "Sold

American," and he stopped.

He was waving at you? Mm-hmm.

Yes, he was going like that,

so I waved back.

Why, you nitwit, you bought the

girls! Let's get out of here.

Let me congratulate you, and

you can pay me the money now.

Make him out a check. Uh, I'm

sorry, neighbor, but the deal is off.

You can't call it off. Sheik Hamud

bid a fortune for these girls.

I can't help what he bid.

But you must buy them. I can't.

He just changed my mind for me.

Perhaps you would let me talk to them.

I may make them change their mind again.

Oh, my master, wouldst thou not like

six beautiful girls to serve you?

Six pairs of feet

to do thy running?

Six pairs of hands

to do thy bidding?

And six pair of lips to do

my kissing. Now look, lady...

Excuse me.

You're beautiful. May I kiss

one of your six pair of lips?
