Lost in a Harem Page #6

Go over and play it anyhow. Go.

You don't have to push, do you?

Play.

Play.

- There. Okay?

- Sit down and play!

Did you hear it?

Beautiful.

Mike.

Well, well, Mike,

I'm happy to see you.

Stopped by for a drink

with a couple of friends of mine.

The place don't seem

the same without...

Did you hear me play the piano?

- Yes.

- I'm getting scared. Get me out of here.

- Pardon me, boys.

- Yes.

- Say hello to my best pal, Mike.

- Hiya, Mike.

- Do you see Mike?

- Sure. There he is. How are you, Mike?

- Glad to know you.

- Are you kidding?

Hello, Mike. Hi.

Don't kick the place apart.

What's that, Mike?

Sure, we'll have a drink.

Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure.

- Swell fellow.

- Oh, yes, yes.

Fine.

- Here's yours.

- I don't drink.

- Go ahead.

- Come on, you can't turn him down.

Okay, Mike.

Well, here's luck.

What's the matter?

What happened? What happened?

- Swallowed the glass.

- Oh, stop.

- Fill them up.

- Another one?

- There.

- Tell Mike I want a big one this time...

...because the last one,

I didn't see it at all.

- How come?

- It was too small.

Mike, tell you what you do.

Have you a large glass?

You haven't one in the house?

Well, how about allowing him to drink

out of that cut-glass bowl?

- That one up...

- Yes, that one there. I realize it's expensive.

Ten thousand dollars?

Well, he won't break it.

- You won't break it, will you?

- No, no.

Oh, no, no, no.

Give me a hand.

It's gonna be heavy, at that. Hurry up.

- That's not the way to grab it.

- Get out of the glass.

Put your arms around it, please.

That's it. Now, hold it. Be careful of it.

Now, don't drop it.

- Cut glass.

- Expensive.

- Please be careful of the bowl.

- Don't drop the bowl.

Well, here's how.

Here's luck.

You broke the glass.

Why did you do that?

- What are you gonna do about it, Mike?

- Wait. Straighten this thing out.

You pick up the glass,

I'll try and straighten it out with Mike.

- Yeah. Hey.

- Here.

- Go ahead. Hurry up.

- Are you kidding?

- Go ahead. There's a broom.

- Mike, it was an accident.

Please listen to me, Mike.

He didn't mean to do it.

- Really.

- Sweep it up.

You saw for yourself

that he couldn't help himself.

You have nothing to worry about.

He'll make it good.

He's a swell fellow

when you get to know him.

I know it was an old family heirloom,

but he'll replace it.

- Throw it out. Throw it out.

- Cash? He has plenty of money.

He's loaded with dough.

Ten thousand dollars is a mere trifle.

Just a bag of shells,

a drop in the bucket, Mike.

He'll pay you a trillion times

more than it's worth.

Throw it out. Hurry.

And in cash.

I'll see to it that you get paid cash, Mike.

No...

Now, look, Mike,

this was all a mistake, now.

Don't go make a big thing

out of a punch bowl.

This kid is a good kid.

He's a pal.

- He'll pay you for it...

- Mike.

- Wait a minute. Don't pull a knife.

- Just a minute.

- Easy.

- You force me to pull a gun.

- Protect these boys.

- Get out.

They came in here with me.

Don't crawl over the bar.

- Put that knife away.

- Hold him back.

Don't, Mike. Please don't... All right,

you're asking for it. Then take that.

What have I done?

My best pal.

Look at those glassy eyes.

Mike, speak to me.

Speak to me.

- Speak to him, Mike.

- He's dead.

I've killed him.

All right, all right. Take it easy.

- Mike. Mike. Speak.

- Blood.

There's puddles of blood here, all around.

What's that?

The police.

They've come to take me away.

They're leading me

into the courtroom.

I can see it all now.

It's the gallows.

They're pushing me up the 13 steps,

they're placing the hood over my head.

I can feel the rope around my neck.

- It's getting tighter. It's choking me!

- Wait a minute.

- Don't let them hang me! It's choking me!

- Wait a minute.

- Come here and sit down.

- Take it off my neck.

- Please.

- Don't let them hang me.

What was that, Mike?

I didn't get it.

Don't talk to me like that,

because I'm a pretty tough kid too.

I don't go for any of that kind of stuff.

I mean, I'm tough. I fight.

Take it easy, Mike. Take it easy.

None of that roughhouse stuff

with me, brother.

Come on, come on, get a little closer,

get a little closer. Get a little closer.

I got a knife here, Mike.

I'll stab you.

I'll let you have it, now.

No, Mike. Mike. Mi...

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Don't come over the bar, Mike.

I'm gonna stab you. Take...

- What was that?

- All right. It's all right. It's all right.

Shot him with a knife.

Nothing at all.

He just killed the same guy.

Why all the noise?

What's going on here?

Oh, hello, Bobo. Did you hear the noise?

I told you.

You go in wives' quarters, bad luck.

Now I no get in movies.

We'll make a deal with you.

You get us out,

and we'll see that you get in the movies.

I let you out, I get head chopped off.

Then I still don't get in movies.

Look, shorty, tell you what you do.

Sit over there and I'll tell you

how to get into the movies.

I'll give you the password.

Sit over there.

Sit right down.

Excuse me.

Lend me one of your ears.

I want to explain something. It's a secret.

Get us out of here.

Prince Nimativ, if you wish to prove to me

that you are kindhearted...

...then release Ramo and my friends

from the dungeon.

Once they are free...

...you will no longer have to place me

under the spell of your magic rings.

I will obey you of my own accord.

Very well, my sweet.

- I will release your friends.

- You will?

After the ceremony.

As for Ramo...

...I think it'd be a mistake to release him.

He'd get into trouble again.

How can a man so wise

fear such a weakling as your nephew.

Were you not wise enough

to take his throne from him?

You're right, my dear.

I'm the wisest man in Barabeeha.

No one can outwit me. Once I have them

in my power, they never escape.

Your Highness,

the three have escaped.

Search the palace!

Call the guards!

When I capture them,

I'll show them no mercy.

All of this was a pretense

to attract my attention...

...while some other traitor

let them loose.

I'm wise enough for this,

I'm wise enough for that.

One thing I am sure of, that you'll never

marry me of your own free will.

That's something else

you're wise to now.

Hazel.

Ramo.

Where are the boys?

They're signaling my followers.

We'll take you out of here by force.

But what about

you regaining your throne?

That is not so important as this.

Get out of there.

Get out of there. Get.

Get out of there.

Hey, Pete.

You're making a terrible mess.

Get up there. Get up on your feet.

Now listen.

- Forgive me. All right.

- Listen.

If Nimativ finds us in here,

we're done for.

Look at this mess. Look at this mess.

You're always...

- Wait a minute. See that lamp over there?

- Yeah.

Just a minute.

This must be the north side of the palace.

- This is the north side.

- Take that lamp. Signal from the window.

- Hurry up. Go ahead.

- Okay.

Help. Help. Help...

- Pete? Look at all the wardrobe here.
