Four Men and a Prayer Page #5

Mine is selling arms.

You go to the warehouse.

Take a good look around.

You'll find everything in order.

Oh, that's lovely.

Oh, I like that.

Douglas, buy me that, huh?

There's General Torres.

Oh, I'll bet where the general is,

there's excitement.

Come on, Douglas.

Let's go.

Willful little thing, aren't you?

Furnoy will give us beans for this,

but I can't let you go alone.

No, no. I'll say you couldn't.

Come on.

Atencin!

- Senor, you have no right-

- It's quite all right, General.

Miss Cherrington is a friend.

Oh.

Forgive me, senorita.

I did not know you were a friend.

Behold my so beautiful stores.

With these, I shall liberate

my unfortunate people.

They shall be happy

once more in liberty.

Please come.

Please, senorita,

let me give you a little of this old, old-

Do I see you again, amigo?

A charming moment, my friend.

Oh, delightful, mi general.

It is a pleasure

to introduce my friends.

Senorita Cherrington of New York...

Capitn Loveland of London...

my distinguished compatriot...

General Adolfo Arturios

Gregario Sebastian.

Ah, senorita.

- What a moment I have.

- Thank you.

Capitn.

- I extend my most gracious welcome

to our small city.

There will be a little

celebration tonight...

in honor of our dear friend,

General Torres.

If the so beautiful senorita and capitn

will honor us.

Oh, I'd love to.

Do you think we can, Douglas?

- Well, I'm not quite sure, Lynn.

- I shall hope.

And now, with your pardon, I have important

business with our friend, General Torres.

If you will be so good, my friend.

Oh, with pleasure, amigo.

- Forgive me for a moment.

- Of course.

Good-bye.

General.

Oh, I think he's charming.

- We'd better get out of here.

- Why?

- I don't like it.

- Oh, Douglas, don't be silly. It may be interesting.

- Besides, I want to stay and see the fun.

- Fun?

Uh-huh.

Well, you would come ashore.

Gracias.

Shall we drink, my friend,

to liberty?

With all my heart.

To liberty.

Forgive me, my friend,

but you know I do not smoke.

- But, my friend, people are watching.

- Oh.

You are very thoughtful.

Gracias.

No.

- Magnificent, my friend.

- Gracias.

Douglas, they're not going to-

Come on, Nosey.

Oh, Douglas, poor Torres.

And those half-starved little people,

mowed down like that without a chance.

- And women and kids too, Douglas!

- That's war, you know.

It isn't war. It's a massacre.

It's all a surprise to me.

It's the men who sell them ammunition

and encourage such things who ought to be shot...

- not those poor little devils!

- Lynn!

- Lynn!

- Geoffrey! Oh, Geoffrey!

- Are you all right?

- Yes, I'm all right.

Say, help me out of this, will you, mister?

Come along, Lynn.

We'd better get back to the boat.

Say, guvnor, you remember me...

- from Murros Island?

- I never saw you before in my life.

Why, I been looking at your blinking face

every day for a week.

They're going to shoot me, guvnor.

Help me, lady, will you?

Help me.

They're gonna shoot me.

- Douglas, you can't let them do that.

- It isn't wise to interfere.

Say, look here!

Geoffrey! Geoffrey!

Oh, of all the stupid,

asinine things to do!

Don't worry, Lynn. He's got a plan.

He's getting information.

Information? Why, they'll stand him up

against a wall and shoot him. Geoffrey!

They won't do that to him.

He's a British subject. He's been to Washington.

Now you listen to me, Chris.

You haven't seen what I have tonight.

They'll kill anybody

in this town- anybody!

You were employed

by these munitions people. Is that right?

That's right. Say, mister,

the firing squad'll be here any minute...

and they don't bother about

court-martials in this town.

My friends are at work.

They'll get us out.

Well, I hopes they look lively.

They'd as soon shoot you

as look at you. Uh, sooner.

- What about Murros Island?

- That's where they keep the stuff, guvnor.

And they've got enough stuff there

to blow up the whole world if you ask me.

- And you delivered the guns here

to Torres and his rebels?

Yes, sir.

And to the government too.

Atlas Arms was shooting on both

sides in this little dust-up.

Atlas Arms?

What was that?

- We'll be next, guvnor.

- Don't get a wind up, old chap. My friends will manage somehow.

Well, they'd better shake a leg

if they want to meet us this side of heaven.

I'm afraid you're right.

Look.

They're coming for us now!

- Geoff!

- Lynn!

- Oh, Geoff, I was so worried.

- Oh, Lynn.

L- I've got a release order for you.

Douglas Loveland got it.

Let's get out of here.

- Thank you, lady.

- Yeah.

Oh, Geoffrey, I'm so glad

you're all right.

Lynn, darling, I'm sorry about those suspicions.

They were just plain jealousy.

- Geoff!

- And, darling, apart from the fact...

that I'd like to box your ears...

- I'm afraid I'm hopelessly in love with you.

- Oh, Geoff, Geoff.

Darling!

Look, I'm not a fussy man,

but I thought you didn't like him.

Well, I-

I'm not quite sure that I do.

You see, Nosey...

uh, Lynn and I-

Well, I-look here.

It's an old story.

I mean, I-Well-

You mean you and Lynn are-

Uh, yes.

- Then you don't love me?

- Oh, yes, Chris. I do love you.

Only Geoff saw me first.

It took a firing squad

to make me realize it.

Oh, you'll be all right, Chris.

Remember, there's Joan and Elizabeth...

and that little telephone operator

in the Buenos Aires hotel.

Bernice and Penelope. There are thousands

of beautiful creatures all panting for me...

- but I don't think I'll find one quite like you, Lynn.

- Thanks.

Good luck, old man.

Oh, what about that cockney?

Listen. Marvelous, Nosey. It's a concern

called Atlas Arms behind the whole thing...

- and their distributing point is Murros Island.

- Murros Island?

Hey! Don't mind me!

Murros Island!

Then the whole thing links up.

I think I've got the evidence to prove it.

Do you remember Beano said...

- the maker's name was chiseled off that gun?

- Yes.

This one I got off a dead soldier

and the name's gone off that too.

- Oh! Even I get that. That means Atlas Arms in both places.

- And Loveland in both places.

I think we've got the last nail in that chap's coffin.

Where is he?

He's in the street. He's getting rather nervous.

Let's go and get him.

We'd better get aboard. Furnoy is extremely

annoyed over the disturbance you've made.

Listen, Loveland, I don't usually go about

hitting people on the chin...

but this time I have

a reason that might interest you.

Let's go inside and have

a beer and talk it over.

No, we can't keep Furnoy waiting.

Oh, please, Douglas.

L- I'm thirsty.

Well, if it ain't my old

pal from Murros Island!

- Get away, blast you!

- Oh, now how can I be in your way...

when I'm invisible?

- What you can't see can't hinder.

- You come with me.

- You'd better come.

- Entertain the lady, will ya, mate?

Sit down.

This is all very mock heroic, gentlemen.

May I ask the point?

Well, the first point is this-

Our name's not Gordon. It's Leigh.
