Oh, rainy days!

That's when you see the sights.

[ Chuckles ] Hot tomato.

[ Continues ]

- Oh, I would love to see it.

- Yeah?

You and me together.

Is it a go, hmm?

Yes. It is a go!

Let's seal it with a kiss.

One for Big Casino. Hmm?

[ Speaking Spanish ]

- You mind your own business.

- [ Rapid Spanish ]

You get out.

Get out, quick!

- She-devil!

- Get out, you-

Oh, I hate that old woman.

- She's always so nosy.

- [ Dunn Chuckling ]

She's always spying on me.

- Yes?

- Where's your camp?

- Far from here?

- No, not very far.

I would love to see it.

- You take me there?

- Sure.

- You got a horse?

- No.

- But I ride with you, eh?

- Aw, that suits me, baby.

Please. I get my shawl, eh?

All right.

[ Chuckles ]

I be with you

in just a minute.

- I am ready.

- Yes.

Oh, uh...

don't you want to leave

a note for, uh, somebody?

Why do you say this?

Well, I thought

the old woman might worry.

Oh, let her worry.

I hope she worries

the rest of her life.

- The old cat.

- [ Chuckles ]

Come on, baby.

Are there nice soldiers

in the camp, eh?

Huh? Yeah.

Perfectly nice.

[ Chuckles ]

There'll be a hot time

in the old town-

[ Mooing ]

[ Cowbells Clanging ]

That's the Cisco Kid, all right.

What do you reckon...

he's gonna get for them steers?

About 4,000.

Ol.!

[ Whistles ]

5,000 on his head

and 4,000 in his pocket.

That's 9,000 for us.

Say, all we gotta do is

to trail him in the hills...

and give him both barrels

in the back.

Why, it's the easiest money

we ever got.

Now, he's heading through

to Coyote Wells.

Now, come on.

Let's take to the pass.

- Ol, camino.! Andele, ndele.!

- [ Mooing ]

Whoa.

Well, this is the place.

Now, let's wait for him

up on the bluff. Come on.

Thank you for the money, my friend.

Good-bye. Good luck.

Ben, have you ever seen

that fellow before?

No, I don't believe

that I ever have.

Well, take a good look at him,

because you'll never see him again.

Those three cattle rustlers have been waiting

for him. Two-to-one, they'll get him.

Beat him to it. Bring him down

the first chance you've got.

There he is!

Give it to him, Art.

[ Gunshot ]

Hey! You coyote, you!

Tell him you meet

the Cisco Kid.

These other two fellows

don't talk no more.

The Bowery

They say such things

- And they do such things on the Bowery

- [ Harmonica ]

The Bowery

I'll never go there anymore

Go on, sister. Try it.

You got a swell voice.

- I should sing it?

- Sure, go ahead. Gurgle it.

Give her a chord,Joe.

[ Laughs ]

- [ Chord ]

- Now. Ta da

[ Together]

The Bowery

- The brewery

- No, no. Not the brewery.

The Bowery!

[ Laughs ]

Go on, baby. Now.

Ta da

- [ Both ] The Bowery, the Bowery

- [ Harmonica ]

They say such things

And they do such things-

On the "bawry", the "bawry"

I don't think

I go there some more

[ Laughing ]

That's fine, baby. Swell.

Sweetheart, you got

a voice like a Brooklyn sparrow.

I don't understand it.

You tell me what a nice

place this Bowery is...

and that you're gonna take me there

to show it to me.

Then, in the songs, you say: "You don't

think you go there some more. "

- How you make that out, eh?

- [ Guffaws ]

- Say, I never thought of that. Whoo!

- Hey!

Hey, wait a minute.

Where ya goin', huh?

- I go fix your place, eh?

- Yeah?

- I come right back.

- All right, baby.

- [ Harmonica ]

- Don't be long, baby.

- Sweet as a peach.

- I guess. Some worker.

I gotta give you credit, Sarge.

You sure can pick 'em.

Ha, ha. Love and duty.

For once, they go together.

How do you mean, "together"?

- You fellas know why we come up here.

- Why, sure.

Hey. Listen.

Now, this gal used to

belong to the Cisco Kid, see?

But when I came into

her life, things changed.

[ Sucking Sound ]

Cut that out.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

- Mickey. Mickey!

- Yeah?

- What do you want, sweetheart?

- Come here.

Oh, I'm practically there.

- What's on your mind, sister?

- Now I know why you come to my house.

You come there

looking for someone.

That's right, baby.

I was lookin' for you.

Not the first time. The first time,

you come looking for a man.

A bandit!

- How do you know?

- I am not blind.

- Here is a paper, offering-

- Wha-

reward for him.

A big reward. Is that the reason

you make love to me?

- To get the man and the money?

- [ Laughing ]

- No, no, no, no. N-

- That is a lie.

You are a cheat.

I hope he kills you.

- Hey, baby-

- No me toques. No me quieres.

- No me quieres.

- Hey, wait a minute, sister. Gee!

Doesn't come

to the level with this gal.

Oh, he ain't.

He plays them all.

He's serious this time.

This morning he asked me

if I knew anything about...

buying furniture

on the installment plan.

- No!

- Wanted to know how much it would cost...

to furnish a flat in Flatbush.

[ Chuckles ]

Say, don't let that fool ya.

Six weeks lets him out

with any gal.

Say, listen. He buys weddin' rings

like you and me buy bananas.

That is, if we bought bananas.

How much is this reward?

$5,000.

Say, you didn't think I was figurin' on

any part of that, did ya?

What do you mean?

Why, I was gonna turn

the whole amount over to you.

Ahh! [ Laughs ]

I did not know this.

- Yeah?

- $5,000, all for me?

Why, certainly.

I'll get a promotion out of this.

[ Chuckling ]

And a gal, huh?

That's enough for me, baby.

You get the money, all of it.

$5,000!

Oh, the things

I could buy with this.

- Dios.!

- Yeah? [ Chuckles ]

Hey. The sarge is framin'

a nice surprise on this bandit.

Only gonna take his life

and his gal. That's all.

He ain't out of it yet.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

- He's the best shot in the army.

- Well, he'll have to be.

If what I hear of

this Cisco Kid is true.

Yeah? Aww-

When do you expect

the Cisco Kid to come back?

Soon. Guadalupe is not very far.

Yes. He will be back soon.

Maybe you better

take me home, eh?

I tell you this.

You will never capture him alive.

Yeah?

Well, I ain't figurin'

on capturin' him alive.

- [ Chuckles ]

- $5,000!

- I'll be rich. Rich! Come on. We go now, eh?

- All right, baby.

Maybe you got better

mantilla than this, eh?

This is the best one I got.

It is very rare.

It come from Seville.

Yeah? Huh.

How much you take for him?

One hundred dollar in gold.

- [ Snaps Fingers ]

- That is fine. I buy him.

[ Chuckles ] By gollies, you know I ride

many miles just to find you.

Yeah.

I say to myself...

I cannot go home unless I bring

something nice for mi enamorada.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, I can see her in this now.

Beautiful like angel.

[ Chuckles ]

- Adis.

- Adis.

- Adis.

- Adis, amigo.

- Adis.!

- Adis.

[ Gramophone:
"My Tonia"]

Soldier... in the house.

[ Continues ]

Dios.!

Well, baby, that's what

I call a perfect evening.

Pardon me.

[ Clears Throat ]

[ Tonia ]

I love no one but you.

My soldier.

And the Cisco Kid-

[ Scoffing ]

I never, never loved him.

I swear to you.

Mickey, my love,

he will come back soon.
