Goin' to Town Page #3

time I ever came in contact

with a woman like you.

Well, if I can help it,

it won't be the last.

You know, I can be

different if I want to.

You ain't seen

my better side.

You're a dangerous woman.

Thanks.

You look good to me too.

Come here.

What's the matter?

You afraid of me?

Afraid of you?

Yeah.

Oh, uh, hello, gents.

I'm sorry, Miss Cleo.

That's all right.

Why, you guys should

never bet with me.

This kind of stuff

is my specialty.

You seem to be having

a delightful time

at my expense.

Would you mind telling

me what it's all about?

Ooh, yes, yes, yes.

These gentlemen and I

had a little bet that

you couldn't be made...

Made a fool of.

Is that it?

Well, you succeeded nobly,

didn't you?

I got to get this signed,

please, ma'am.

All I need is a little more time

to work on that guy.

Yes.

Thank you, ma'am.

The trouble is I'm afraid

you won't have the opportunity.

No?

He's going away.

Going away?

Well, why didn't you tell me?

Where's he going?

His company's sending him

to Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires? You mean

down in South America,

where the races are.

I been reading

about that in here.

There. Is she a lady?

Mrs. Crane Brittany?

I should say that she was.

He'll be fnding a lot of them

down there, won't he?

Naturally.

Well, he'll fnd one

he don't expect.

What do you mean?

I'm gonna take a shot

at this lady business,

and you got to help me.

- I'll do everything I can.

- It'll take more than that.

First step to my education's

gonna be an ocean trip.

To, uh, Buenos Aires?

Yes, and I'm going

to put that horse Cactus

in the International Sweepstake.

That's a surprise.

Do you consider yourself

a good judge of horsefiesh?

I don't know.

I never ate any.

There's a big difference

in this dump and the joint

I used to work in.

Not "dump." This place.

Well, it's the same thing.

Do you wish a table?

Where are they

taking the bets

for tomorrow's races?

Oh, that's

in the bar, madame.

That's a good place for it.

Lead on, big boy,

lead on.

Who is she?

Haven't you heard?

No.

You don't say.

Which one of them

dames is a lady?

Never point.

They're all model ladies.

I guess these guys

must be gentlemen.

They all got white shirts on.

Clothes alone

don't make the gentleman.

I've found that out.

Here you are, madame.

Ten on Montezuma.

500 on Montezuma.

Tres cientos pesos

on Montezuma.

200 on Bonnie Lassie.

500 on Montezuma.

Montezuma seems to be

head man around here.

Yes, evidently

the favorite.

I'll put a stop to that.

1,000 plasters on Cactus.

Mil pesos

por Cactus.

Cactus,

the American horse?

Yeah.

Oh, waiter, give me

a shot of snake...

Two creme de cocoas, please.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Vodka.

Vodka, what's that?

A name of a horse or a drink?

That, madame,

is a famous Russian drink.

You think of vodka,

you think of Russia.

And when you drink it,

you think of everything.

I don't need vodka for that.

Oh, excuse me. Permit

me to introduce myself.

I am Vladimir Stepanovich Zanin.

Oh, you don't say?

Well, my name's a couple

of inches shorter than yours.

I'm Cleo Borden,

and this is Mr. Winslow.

Happy to meet you.

I beg your pardon, Cleo.

Save your dignity.

It's all in fun. Well...

Say, ain't that the dame

in the magazine?

Uh, yes.

Mrs. Crane Brittany.

Who's the bullfghter

she's got in tow?

He's not a bullfghter.

He's also a Russian.

But I want you to understand

there are Russians and Russians.

You don't care

for him, huh?

You're right.

Too bad. He looks

like quite a gent.

Gentleman.

That's all right.

I was just abbreviatin'.

300 on Montezuma.

1 00 on Viceroy.

Yes, ma'am.

2,000 on Bonnie

Lassie, please.

Five grand on Cactus,

right on the nostril.

My dear young lady, aren't

you a trifie overoptimistic

about that horse?

No, honey,

I'm just being conservative.

But Bonnie Lassie's

a Derby winner.

To me, a Derby is just a hat.

Well, you'll fnd out

the difference tomorrow.

That calls for a side bet.

Name your figure.

Of course, if you want

to be so foolish.

Shall we say 1 0,000

at prevailing odds?

Make it 20, and I'll call it a deal.

That's satisfactory.

We'll settle it

at the track tomorrow.

All right, I'll trust you.

Oh, cigarette me,

Cossack.

It's a pleasure

to be of service

to la blonde Americaine.

Mmm.

You call your shots,

don't ya?

Come, Ivan.

We must be going.

Uh, buenas noches.

Same to you.

Hasta manana.

I didn't know

you spoke Spanish.

Don't think I worked

in Tijuana for nothin'.

At the stables, where

the horses for tomorrow's

race are quartered,

there's a certain horse

in stall eight...

that positively must

be kept from running

in tomorrow's sweepstakes.

Apart from the money

I should lose if

that horse should win,

his owner needs a lesson

in keeping her place

that she won't forget.

Should you enjoy

being richer

by a few thousand?

Now you interest me.

You'll do it?

Why not?

And now's the time

to do it.

You'll get out here.

Stop the car, Rogers.

The stables

aren't far from here.

You may decide for yourself

what means you wish to employ.

It will be done,

but, uh, didn't we

speak about money?

The, uh, rest tomorrow.

(Horse Whinnying)

(Whinnying)

Yeah, show me

the silver one.

Bien, madame.

I hope you're satisfed

with your gowns.

Everything else seems

to be going smoothly.

Have you heard anything

about Carrington?

I hope I ain't doin'

all this for nothin'.

Oh, he's here all right.

I've made discreet inquiries.

You think he'd be

at the races tomorrow?

I shouldn't be surprised.

I hope you're right.

You imagine me falling

for that guy?

And I'm supposed

to be a smart dame

that knows all the answers.

And I guess the answer

to that is that there's

no one too smart for love.

Good night, my dear.

Good night, Winslow.

(Trumpet)

(Starting Bell Rings)

(Crowd Cheering)

Montezuma. 500 pesos.

Thank you.

(Speaking Russian)

(Humming)

No, don't.

No? Oh, pardon me.

Oh, hello. Madame,

I'm so thrilled at

seeing you again.

So nice.

For one kiss of your lips,

I would give half

of my life.

See me tomorrow.

I'll kiss you twice.

Bonjour, Ivan, bonjour.

Presentez-moi,

mais presentez-moi.

Si, si. May I introduce

Captain Du Pont,

famous soldier of fortune?

Oh, a hero.

Correct, madame.

Madame, Lieutenant Mendoza,

Senor Alvarez.

How are you, boys?

I'm sorry.

I didn't get your name.

Well, that's not your fault.

You tried hard enough.

Where have I seen

your lovely face before?

Same place you see it now.

Hmm, there's

one in a million,

fguratively speaking.

She's that much-talked-about

cattle queen who was going

to run Cactus.

Oh, yes. I've heard of her.

They struck oil on her ranch.

She's worth millions.

Shocking

what sort of people

have money nowadays.

Mrs. Brittany.

May I speak

to you alone?

Fletcher, I'll join

you later at the bar.

I want to explain.

Isn't that Cactus?

That's what

I want to explain.
