I'm gonna divide it. Divide it up.

1 for you; 1 for me.

2 for you; 1, 2 for me.

3 for you;

1, 2, 3 for me.

4 for you;

1, 2, 3, 4 for me.

How are you counting? 1 for me,

4 for you. That's legitimate.

We don't count that way.

We'll count later.

With all this money, we could

open a chain of gas stations!

You could make more money right here. How?

The spring waters in this place

have therapeutic value.

Uh-oh. Did you hear

what the doc said?

It's got th

- th... the word he said. It's good.

You could open a health resort. With music?

The water here will make sick people

feel like dancing. Do you get it?

The water will make

the people dance.

Remember? If we ever had a place

like this, we'll hire Ted Lewis.

Ted Lewis. And the Andrews Sisters.

Yes! How do you like that?

Is everybody happy?

Ferdie, look around. Opening

night and the place is jammed.

We're doing an all-right

business. Marvelous, swell.

See that every dollar

goes in that cash register.

I don't want to find you short.

What's my size got to do...

with putting money in the

register? Do as you're told.

Hello, boys.

Congratulations.

Chuck and I told you to take

a week off for a honeymoon.

We couldn't miss

opening night.

What happened to Camille?

We had a runaway marriage.

A runaway marriage? Yeah! She

bought the license and I run away.

Come on, dear. Take care

of things. I'll be back.

What was that?

I didn't know

they had a bell on it.

Put it away.

I'm putting it away.

Oh, good. Check, huh? Yes, sir.

We're having quite a run on that

"peu-da-tonic" water? Yes, sir.

I think so too.

And you?

Oh.

Same employment agency

send you that sent me?

Fix your tie.

Fix your coat.

Pull down your vest.

You gotta be neat or

I'll have to throw you out!

Throw who out? I'll throw

you out. Think I can do it?

No! I don't think I can either.

Excuse me.

Ohh! $23 check.

Good waiter.

Very good, very good.

$23.

Listen to that

beautiful melody.

That's it. It's got

that real Brazilian beat.

It's that sweetheart tune we brought

from way down in South America.

Here it is, ladies

and gentlemen, "Aurora. "

Aurora comes from

Rio deJaneiro

She dances in

a little street cafe

And when you're down

in Rio deJaneiro

Here's what you'll hear

each Latin lover say

You're a sweetheart

in a million

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

With your manners

so Brazilian

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

When you smile

and call me honey

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

Is it me

or just my money

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

I'll buy you this

and buy you that

If you'll be true

to me

I'll even rent a cottage

and present you with a key

So if you'll marry me

and be my sweet senora

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

Aurora, be mine

Be mine, be mine

You're a sweetheart

in a million

Ah ah ah ah

Aurora

With your manners

so Brazilian

Ah ah ah ah

Aurora

When you smile

and call me honey

Ah ah ah ah

Aurora

Is it me

or just my money

Ah ah ah ah

Aurora

I'll buy you this

and buy you that

If you'll be true

to me

I'll even rent a cottage

and present you with the key

So if you'll marry me

and be my sweet senora

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

You're a sweetheart

in a million

Oh oh oh oh

be my Aurora

With your manners

so Brazilian

Oh oh oh oh

be my Aurora, be mine

When you smile

and call me honey

Oh oh oh oh

be my Aurora

Is it me

or just my money

Oh oh oh oh

Aurora

Aurora, be mine

Great business, eh?

What a night!

Open the register. I want

to see how much we took in.

What's the matter? What a

business we're doing tonight.

That's why I wanna see

how much money we've made.

A lot of nice girls.

You oughta look around.

I wanna count the money. Maybe we

better wait 'til everybody goes home.

Everybody here is honest.

Then, maybe I better go home.

Count it by yourself. No, you don't!

You stand there

until I count the money.

Okay.

Now who put

that there?
