I have a contract to go to Hollywood
to make pictures.
- With who?
- C.Y. Sanford.
- He gave me a great big deal.
I'll give you a much better one.
You're going to Hollywood the wrong way.
What do you mean?
I mean I never heard of Mr. Sanford.
But I do need a new leading man
for my next picture.
What kind of a guy must he be?
He should be tall and handsome...
and he should have black wavy hair...
and big brown eyes...
and he should be a little frightened.
I'm sorry, I haven't had much experience.
Don't worry, we'll take long rehearsals.
Well, I'd better go.
You see, I have a friend out here.
Forget about your friend.
Think about your career.
Just relax and think about it.
Well, thanks a lot, but I can't take
the part. I got trouble.
Jane, you've gotta quit
running away from me.
I gotta talk to you.
Now, you're going to sit here
and listen to me.
I love you and only you.
Say you believe me.
Yeah, I believe you, Steve, but...
Stop it, Seymour. I'm looking for Jane.
Here I am, Steve.
Did you want to tell me something?
Jane...
I believe you, honey.
And I don't mean to be jealous...
it's just that there's something about you
that makes me hate all other women.
Will you forgive me?
I even ordered us drinks,
so we can celebrate.
Here's to us.
- And you'll never doubt me again, right?
- Right.
I got a canasta. I'm out.
Albuquerque. 15-minute stop.
Al! Al!
Chicken! Where you been?
What took you so long?
Did you come by covered wagon?
Don't scold me, Al.
We're in terrible trouble.
- Trouble?
- Yes, look.
Holy smoke! Shanghaied by a screwball.
How'll we explain it to Jane
after she spent everything she had?
Should have never let that dame manage
things. Warned her to get the dough first.
From now on, I'm taking over.
Al, don't be angry at Jane.
Remember, it's better to give than receive.
What has that got to do
with this murderous situation?
Nothing, Al. I just thought
it was a good time to quote someone.
Scram, chicken. Got to think.
Steve, you better go with her.
Break the news to Jane.
- An orange juice, please.
- Yes, ma'am.
Shame on you. You don't do that. Be quiet.
Garon, make it two.
- Where is that young...
- Wanna talk to you about that.
Have you noticed how that boy acts
when he's around you?
Yes, but fortunately I have Pierre along,
so I'm not too chilled.
Come now, I'm surprised
that a sophisticated dame like you...
You naughty boy. Come on down.
I'm surprised
that a sophisticated dame like you...
cannot spot this lad's
smoldering, reluctant, suppressed desires.
What do you mean?
The boy is nuts about you.
- Nuts?
- Yeah, as you French would say, nuts.
Amour, nuts.
- Well, what about the other girl?
- His mother.
I'm going to Hollywood
to start my new picture...
in which I could use a new leading man
like Mr. Laird.
My present one, it's getting much too old,
a man of 32.
Great! Well, how about the kid?
Unfortunately, I have to go
to Las Vegas first.
My business manager
owns a nightclub there...
I think I could arrange for Steve
to work there while I'm getting my divorce.
It's a deal.
But you gotta understand, Miss Yvonne,
this has to be a secret between us.
As you French would say, entre preneur.
Well, let everything up to me.
I see you in two days
- when Steve open there. All right?
- Right.
That'll be 20 cents.
Madame, your pleasure.
Well, why all the gaiety?
Al, Jane's trying to figure a way
to get us back to New York.
- New York? What's playing there?
- Listen, Al...
Now, you listen to me, Jane.
You got us into this hole,
you with your managing.
You can't talk to Jane that way.
Look, kid, let's face it.
With this dame managing you,
you are going nowhere with great rapidity.
- Why, you got a deal?
- Sure I got a deal.
Got a terrific job
singing in a swank Las Vegas club.
But only on condition that from here on in,
Al handles things.
Think it over.
I thought it over, Manager.
Now that's what I call
thinking constructively.
Seymour, you go and help the girls
with their bags.
Jane, check in at the Rosa Mission Hotel.
We got to stay here overnight.
Steve, would like a word with you.
Now, kid, I had a terrific time
putting this deal across.
- But I finally got to the right party.
- What party?
- How's that?
- What party?
- Yvonne.
- Yvonne.
Yvonne! You want me to get killed?
What if Jane finds out?
She don't have to.
It's one of the chances we got to take.
You open at the club, you're a hit,
Hollywood snatches you.
Then you can lose the French dame,
you marry Jane...
and your kids will thank me
Now, you go and romance Jane
while I promote transportation to Las Vegas.
All right, but that orange juice stand...
is beginning to look like
the First National Bank to me.
Blankets. Real Indian blankets.
Knock off.
I need it like I need a hole in the head.
Excellent buy.
With each blanket, bead souvenir.
Look, Hiawatha, will you hit the road?
- Just a minute, noble brother.
- Yes?
- This is your car?
- One of them.
in back of my wigwam.
Pretty classy heap.
Heap classy. But got to get rid of it.
See? Under tires? Dirty.
Chief, that much dough in blankets?
Do very well.
How many you got there?
- 20.
- That'll do it.
Just need 20. How much are they?
- $10 apiece.
- Cheap, Chief. You'll take a check?
No. Little suspicious...
ever since my great-grandfather
sold Manattan Island.
Want cash.
Well, my treasurer will be here
in half an hour.
- You'll trust me?
- Yes.
Because I'll be here, too.
Blankets. Get your red hot blankets.
Get your red hot blankets.
- Blankets, ladies? You married?
- No.
Then you'll need them.
Keep you nice and warm.
Are you a Sioux?
If you don't pay for the blankets,
I'll sue you.
Clever? Just made it up.
You poor dear soul, you.
What the white folks have done to you.
What tribe was your mother?
Stay out of my private life.
You wanna buy blankets or don't you?
We don't need any blankets.
Why didn't you say so in the first place?
Indian nuts?
Halavah? Chocolate covered
with nuts on top?
Well, then, scram, tourists.
If you're not gonna buy nothing,
get out of here.
Get your blankets.
Red hot blankets.
Red hot blankets.
Buenas noches, seorita.
Auf Wiedersehen, Senator.
Before I sing a great love song for you,
seorita, I take this rose...
I kiss it, and give it to you to wear.
- Bravo!
- Bravo!
- Al, did you see the moon?
- Why, is it missing?
No, Al. Look out there.
Did you ever see a sky like that?
There's the Big Diaper
and the Little Diaper...
and Venus and Mercurochrome.
They're all out tonight.
Then they ain't lonely.
They don't need me. Scram.
"Scram," Al?
But we've been engaged for five years.
We've got to take advantage
of nights like these.
