Moon Over Miami Page #8

How about Brazil? If you go there,

I'll be able to join you.

I've got a job in Brazil.

- Uh, smuggling in rumba dancers,

I presume?

- No, no. This is a real one.

- I'm selling refrigerators.

- Selling refrigerators.

Wouldn't just delivering ice

suit your talents better?

I think Brazil would be fine, Jeff.

- We've got a plant there.

- Yes, I know, Dad.

Uh, Mr. McNeil isn't

the only who's going to work.

Mr. Jeff has been talking

about getting a job too.

What, Jeff work? Oh, no.

He's been kidding you, Barbara.

Jeff, I think it would be marvelous.

I think it would be

the marvel of the age.

Uh, no. I'm afraid Jeff

is just the ornament of the family.

Uh, has that Mr. Reynolds

we met last night gone back yet?

No, he's over in Miami

on business. Be here for the party.

Say, maybe Reynolds has something open.

I think I'll talk to him tonight.

That is, if nobody seriously objects.

I'll take those.

- Good morning.

- Ah, Jack, here you are.

- Yep, I'm here.

- Hello, Jack.

I wired the hotel to send over some

of their staff to service the party tonight.

- Rest of them here, Jack?

- Yes, sir. But I came right in.

I had something to say

to Mr. Jeffrey.

Get with you right

after breakfast, Jack.

- Good morning, Miss Latimer.

- G-Good morning, Jack.

- How are you?

- I never felt better.

Oh, y-you look fine.

Doesn't he look fine, Barbara?

Oh, yes.

Yeah, he looks wonderful.

Yeah? Well, everything

is far from wonderful.

- What's the matter, Jack?

Something wrong?

- Yes, sir, there is.

I've got to speak to you,

Mr. Jeff. It's very urgent.

What was that?

Pardon me, sir.

Miss Latimer's maid just fainted.

Oh, dear. Poor Susan! Come on, Jack!

You're the only one

that can help Susan when she faints.

- I'll come along, Miss Latimer.

- Can we help, Kay?

- No, no! Don't you come.

We just need Jack!

- Uh-

Give her the water right away.

Quickly. Quickly.

Oh, poor Susan.

Please don't crowd around her.

Wh-What she needs is air.

Just leave her to us.

- All right. Come on. Come on.

- Thank you so much.

Oh, Barbara, what'll I do?

l- I believe she's really sick.

- Well, go ahead.

Let's see you lock me up now.

- Shh! Jack.

And don't ask me to get the smelling salts,

'cause I got 'em right here.

- Shh!

- I had plenty of time locked up

in your bathroom to find 'em.

- This time nothing's gonna

stop me from telling Mr. Jeff.

- Jack!

If you tell him,

I'll never speak to you again.

Aha! I knew you was faking.

Well, it won't do you any good.

Jeffrey Bolton is too fine a fella to

have some girl that don't love him...

take him for his money,

like I was took for 150.

If he's so swell,

why couldn't I know it?

You admire him. Why couldn't I

admire him and care for him?

Why would I just be

marrying him for his money?

What makes you say I don't love him?

You see how unfair you are? You see

how she's crying because she loves him so?

She might be crying at the thought of

losing 20 million bucks. I don't know.

Losing 150 hurt me plenty.

If you were half the man I thought

you were, you'd know when

you saw a woman in love.

Oh, don't cry, darling.

All right. But I'm gonna keep

my eye on you, Miss Latimer.

And if I think for one moment

that you don't love him...

I'm going to Mr. Jeff

and tell him the whole thing.

All right, Jack. I'll show you.

But beware.

I intend to be a hard judge.

Thank you.

Solitary Seminole

Oh, Seminole

Boulevard in the sky

Big street

Oh, whoa

Traveling on this

Oh, whoa, oh

Seminole

You've got to dance

Seminole

Dance away with longing in your soul

Hear the tom-tom talk

Do the tom-tom-tomahawk

Solitary Seminole

- They're all right, aren't they?

- Yes.

Shall we?

Uh, wait a minute, Jeff.

Long as you're gonna have

Kay all the rest of your life...

don't you think the best man ought to

have one last dance with her?

- That's up to Kay.

- Well, he's had his way so far.

Mmm. Pardon us.

- There you are.

- Sorry I'm so late.

- Hello, Mr. Reynolds.

- Hello, Jeff. Good evening, Miss Sears.

Sit down.

I been watching you all day.

- You're a very unhappy girl.

- Really?

I thought I was happy.

No, you're not. Not really.

You want more than money now,

a whole lot more.

- What more do I want?

- You're in love, Kay.

- I am? And with whom, may I ask?

- Me.

I see.

And I suppose now you love me?

I might. I might love you.

I don't know.

Well, don't bother too much to find out.

I can't think of anyone who'd be interested.

I wonder about the plant down in Brazil,

if there'd be any chance for me there.

Yes. He's been talking

about going to work.

What'd Miss Latimer go in the house

for in such a hurry?

- How do I know?

She probably went upstairs.

- What'd she go upstairs for?

What's the matter with you?

What do you think she went upstairs for?

- To steal the family jewels.

- Oh, to steal the-

It won't be much fun, Jeff.

It's a tough job.

You'll really have to

work, old man.

Maybe you'd like to

think it over first.

No, I'll tell you right now.

I'll take it.

I'm not looking for fun.

You're gonna see work.

And you're gonna see that Brazil branch

jump right to the top of our list.

- Good.

- Isn't it wonderful what that

girl Kay has done for him?

Wonderful stuff, love.

Uh-huh. What did Mr. Mac

run in the house for all of a sudden?

- Did he run in the house all of a sudden?

- Sure he did. I just saw him.

Maybe he got caught in the draft.

Maybe he's writing home to mother.

- I wouldn't know.

- I'm getting the runaround here.

- I'm gonna tell Mr. Jeff

all about this right now.

- Oh-

- Jack will take these.

- The party in the corner.

Yes, sir.

Yes?

Well, what do you want now?

I want you to keep right on packing,

'cause we're getting out of here.

I'm getting out of here, all right,

with Jeff. I've just sent for him.

He and I are going someplace

where nobody'll ever bother us again.

Kay, there's no use in

our pretending any longer.

You know we're in love with each other

and have been all along.

Yes, you love me.

That's a fine thing to come and tell me now,

after you threw Jeff and me together.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

I thought that was your best chance, Jeff.

Well, you're too late now, mister.

I'm going to marry somebody

that's grand and charming.

- And I'm going to do everything

I can to make him hap-

- You listen to me, Kay.

I meant it when I said

you're not gonna marryJeff.

I'm not going to let you botch up

the lives of all three of us.

There's only one thing for us.

That's life together.

And that's what we're gonna have.

It won't be the rich,

easy life we thought we wanted.

It'll be a little tough.

But we're gonna work things out.

And there's no choice

about that for either of us.

Well, what do you say?

Are you gonna go quietly like a nice girl,

or do I have to carry you out?

You wouldn't have the nerve

to make a spectacle like that.

You wouldn't dare take me
