Man's Favorite Sport? Page #4

I'm alone.

All this equipment, just

for you? That's right.

How long do you

intend to stay?

Six days.

Six days? It'll take him

that long to unpack.

Miss Page! Miss Page!

- Yeah?

- I have a message for you.

Roger Willoughby isn't

coming to the lodge!

He's at

campsite C-11.!

Thank you! What would he be doing there?

We'd better go see. We can

go by water. It's faster.

Okay.

Why should this be

happening to me?

Holy smoke.

Look at that camp.

"Step six:

"Grasp tent

at point X and Y,

"except for model 42-B.

"See illustration 13

for further information.

Model 42-B discontinued."

This must go

somewhere inside.

Hi!

Hi.

Where did you come from?

Down at the lake.

What are you doing?

I am setting up a tent!

Ohh.!

Are you?

- After which I shall try making a bed.

- Can we help?

Yes. Go away.

Oh, good.!

Uh, listen, I'm curious...

What is all this about?

This is Mr. Cadwalader's idea of what

a well-equipped camper should have.

Well,

why are you camping?

Again,

Mr. Cadwalader's idea.

He seemed to be almost

inspired, since he met you.

Oh, well, now, don't be angry,

Roger. It wasn't my idea.

Miss Page,

Mm-hmm?

I had time to think

while driving up here.

I don't think you can ever

get me angry again.

Great. I'm glad you've

come to your senses.

Because this isn't going

to work. Of course it isn't.

What isn't?

Your camping.

You've never been

camping before, have you?

I'm doing a lot of things

I've never done before. Yes.

Are you supposed to be out of

the water with those things on?

We're not supposed to take them

off before we get out of the water.

You don't have time

to learn camping.

You'll have enough

trouble learning to fish.

After the tournament you can learn how

to make your bed. Mr. Cadwalader tol...

Phooey on Mr. Cadwalader.

Then what do I tell him?

What'll you tell him when he sees

you camping? He isn't going to see me.

Oh, yes, he is. He

phoned for a reservation.

See, smarty? He'll be up here tomorrow.

He will? Listen, Roger, there's

only one thing for you to do.

What? Move back to the lodge.

But before he comes.

Then what do I tell him?

Say that you... What?

I'll think of something.

Yeah. Oh, sure. Roger, if

anybody sees you here camping...

They'll know you've never

been out of a hothouse before.

We'll help you get

all of your stuff packed.

All right, John Screaming

Eagle. Come here.

How long have you been,

uh, standing over there?

There?

Mm-hmm.

Long enough to know he never been out of

hothouse before. Only for tourists, huh?

Will, uh, ten dollars

make you forget it?

For twenty, Screaming

Eagle was never there. Five.

She say ten. Five. And you

can help pack up this stuff.

As the great chief

Confucius say...

Five birds in hand

worth 20 who fly away.

You know him

better than I did.

Willoughby, did you

see this? Yes, Major.

I didn't know you entered the

tournament. It was a sudden decision.

You might've warned

your customers.

It's going to make the competition

stiff for us. So that's the way you feel.

And you won last year, Mr.

Skaggs. I beat Phipps hands down.

I figured I could do it

again. You just got lucky.

I can still do it.

You're still lucky.

With you in it, it's different. Then the only

sporting thing would be for me to withdraw.

Oh, no... What? Now, Roger, you see...

They consider it unfair

competition. I don't care what...

I feel that I should...

Hold it, Willoughby!

Withdraw nothing!

I've got my 10:
00,

11:
00, 9:00...

I've got it down pat,

and I'm going after you!

If Skaggs is afraid to,

let's let him withdraw.

Who said I was? I'm

glad he's here. You are?

If I lose to you, I'm losing

to a master and I don't mind.

But if I should beat you, that'd be

much more glory than beating Phipps.

10:
00, 11:00, 9:00. Oh, stop it.

Just like I said, like playing on the

same team with Mickey Mantle, right?

Listen, gentlemen, if you'll excuse us,

we have a little business to talk over.

What?

Come on, Roger.

Excuse us.

Good night.

You two go ahead.

Yeah. Come on, Roger. What for?

We're gonna buy you dinner.

Is that what she said?

There.

Now, isn't that nice?

Just for the three of us. Very nice.

Glad you like it.

Come on, Roger, sit down.

Come on.

I shouldn't be so nice to you after that

sneaky trick you tried to pull out there.

Why don't you just make up

your mind that you're stuck?

Make the best of it.

You and I are going to work

together quite a bit of the time.

Why must we

be together?

I have to teach you

how to fish.

You don't want to do it

on your own, do you?

No. Well, then, we have to be together.

We don't want anybody

to find out about it.

Oh, say, did you tell your

girlfriend, Miss, uh, Connors,

that you can't fish? I

told you that was none...

But she made a reservation. I know.

I forgot to tell you. She's

coming up Friday. I know that too.

Would you like a roll?

No, thank you.

I'll give you one anyway.

I just don't want to make any trouble

for you by saying the wrong thing to her.

I guess you didn't tell her or

you'd say so. No, I didn't tell her.

Is that all right with

you? Sure, sure, sure.

Hi. Dinner is ready. How are you doing?

Just fine.

Making Roger mad again.

You'd better figure out where you're

going to take him tomorrow for his lesson.

Yes. A quiet place where murder

wouldn't be noticed. Oh, don't be silly.

That's a good idea! I know.

No, no, there is a

cove at the north end.

Nobody would see you, but

you'd better not go together.

I'll take the boat up about 8:00,

and you meet me at the north trail.

Where's that? You start at the

ranger station and go to the end.

But it's too narrow

for a car.

Take that little red thing you

had at the camp. The trail bike.

That'd be just perfect,

wouldn't it?

Uh, can you ride it?

It just so happens

that I can.

Well, you're just full

of surprises, aren't you?

Oh... Uh... Mmm...

Roger.

What's the matter?

Never mind. It's too

late. What do you mean?

It's just too late. What

are you talking about?

Does your salad taste good?

Mm-hmm.

Well, that's good.

It tasted very good.

Why? Well, because...

Nothing.

L... I can't tell you.

What are you

laughing at?

Do you really

want to know?

Yes, I want to know

what I'm laughing about.

Well, you know, just before you

took that first bite, Yeah, go on.

A caterpillar fell out of the

tree, right onto your plate.

It was a fuzzy one. He was crawling

around on the plate for a while.

Listen, cheer up.

Have some wine.

Hi there. Have you a motorcycle

just went up the road? Yes, I did.

Did it take you long to

teach the bear how to ride it?

It just took a minute.

Well, fell off

right around the turn.

Thank you very much.

That's all right. So long.

Hey, Roger. I'm sorry

I'm late. Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, it looks like we're going to

get to use all this part of the lake.

What on earth are you wearing?

They're

inflatable waders.
