Take it away!

- Whats the figure?

- Gross weight.

- And that?

- The days price per ton!

- Whats that sneaky little figure?

- Sliding scale differential.

- What does that mean?

- lt means your share is $7 1 .59.

Your differential friend has thrown you

a curve. l make it $1 03.

- Thats without the sliding scale.

- Sos our deal.

Bigger load, smaller percentage.

lts standard.

- ln the numbers racket?

- Everyone accepts it.

Mr Johnson!

The more l haul,

the bigger your cut.

l was nice when you blew

your first run. Dont push me!

Johnson! ld rather

you be honest than nice.

- $7 1 is good for a days work.

- $1 03 is better. lts what we agreed.

$7 1 and 59 cents.

Count out the rest, Mr Johnson.

You just dont understand business.

Johnson!

The For Sale signs off.

- Usually is when you sell.

- Who bought it?

Thats classified material, Skipper.

Pick up your money.

This just came in.

l know its new...

...but is it really me?

l think it captures your image

extremely well, Mrs Figgot.

Oh! That one over there has

a teeny-weensy bit more elan.

l dont think so. This is...

lve always loved roses...

This one is so beautifully

understated, dont you think?

- Absolutely muted.

- lll take it.

- Put it on my account.

- Yes.

Now... ! Lets check...

No!

- lm sorry. We ran out of boxes.

- Thats all right.

l just love the hat! Bye!

Laurel...

- Where is it?

- lts been sold.

- lt was mine!

- l know.

Why didnt you do something?

- Are you just going to stand there?

- Can we go?

This is outrageous.

l will not stand for it.

- Mr Peabody!

- l heard the sound of conflict.

- You must be the manager.

- Yes, Madam.

lm Mrs Figgot.

- Thats a name you dont fool with!

- lm taking my coffee break.

Miss Dodge!

- The penalty for desertion...

- Mr Peabody!

How did you know

Johnson sold the West Wind?

l went to the docks to look for you

and they were taking the sign off.

- Good afternoon.

- Come with me, please.

- May l take your order?

- Two coffees, two salads. OK?

Bring the coffee now, please.

Theres something l must tell you.

The man l told you about...

That wasnt the first time

ld been fooled.

- With you...

- With me, what?

With you it was different.

lt wasnt me before, it was my money.

Oh! Thats the mystery. Youre rich.

Yes.

- Try to live with it!

- Dont!

- You dont know what its like.

- No, l dont!

You look at every man suspiciously.

l had to find someone

whod love me for myself.

- lve been very lucky.

- Weve both been lucky, that way.

- Why are you telling me this now?

- l bought the West Wind, Ross.

- Where are you going?

- l dont know.

lm going with you.

- What have l done?

- Look...

When my father died,

l lived on what people gave me.

Clothes that didnt fit,

toys that had been thrown out.

l thought the food l ate was because

someone had finished with it.

Youll never understand.

A man must work for what he wants.

l have a right to do this for you.

l love you!

l dont take handouts from anybody.

l dont want to be kept.

Arent we working a little early today?

- You sing very well.

- l hear youre talented, too.

- lm sorry how things turned out.

- Boo-hoo.

- We had a fight.

- Tough.

Do you know where he is?

- l ought to have you thrown out.

- l have to find him.

He does this all the time.

Gets in a mood and disappears.

- Where?

- Paradise Cove.

Thatll be home

now the Stavroses are gone.

lm being much too polite to you.

l must be over the guy!

- Ready, Robin?

- Sure.

- Well?

- l would like to thank you.

Youd better not.

- Too late. Got my drink down.

- May l use that man? lll pay.

You want to rent him or buy him?

l want him to sail the West Wind

to Paradise Cove.

l couldnt possibly spare him.

There must be somebody you can spare.

Theres only one man

this business can spare.

- Thats me.

- lm sure of that.

lll take you.

- How much?

- lt wont cost you a dime.

- Just what do you expect?

- Dinner, Saturday.

- Thats all?

- l dont have to push.

l know lm irresistible.

- When can we start?

- lll get my hat and go with you.

- Ed, stand by to cast off.

- Yes, sir.

Make yourself comfortable.

l heard sailboats needed sails to sail.

They do.

- You didnt say it had an auxiliary.

- You didnt ask.

l could have done this myself.

lve been had.

Not yet.

Your eyes are bigger than

your stomach, Mr Johnson.

- Guests dont work, Ross.

- This one does.

Better get it finished. Radio says

heavy rains in the next few hours.

They did, huh? We find out.

Kapu! Kapu!

Kapu!

There you are, kitty.

First time l saw that.

He must know hell be fed.

No food. He tells weather.

lts gonna rain. l heard it on the radio.

- What they know about weather?

- l suppose Kapu knows!

White spots in eyes, it rain.

No spots, no rain.

No spots, no rain.

Youd better stow this gear

if you dont want to get it wet.

Very dangerous animal

when contradicted.

- Terribly sorry!

- lll bet.
