One Night in the Tropics Page #3

your five. Give me back my two tens.

That's better.

Now get out of here.

Ten more to you. That's the

idea. How about you, friend?

Hiya, boss.

Here's two tens.

Gimme a five.

You did it to me...

And he did it to me too. Oh,

certainly. What are you doing?

Whatever I'm doing,

I'm doing wrong.

I'll straighten you out.

I'll bet you $200. Okay.

Now, take a number. Any

number from one to ten. Four.

Nope. Number five. But you

were close. You're getting hot.

Wanna make a wager, boss?

Why not?

The bankroll.

The whole works.

Now you take a number. Any

number from one to ten. Seven.

Oh, please. Boss, I'll

bet you $500. Uh-huh.

Take a number from one to ten. Seven.

Nope. Eight.

I had eight.

You weren't even playin'. Cut out this

nonsense and give him back his stuff.

You heard the boss.

Give the man back his stuff.

Is it in there?

Yes, this is it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

This is my wallet!

I was minding it for ya.

Minding it. Now listen,

you ten-cent thief, no more stealin'.

We've gone legitimate. You

heard the boss. No more stealing.

We've gone legitimate.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing

with my wallet in there?

What's the idea?

Why do you do things like this?

Oh, I'm a bad boy.

If you have Aunt Kitty all soothed,

why didn't she come?

Oh, the address here added up

to something fatal. Oh, really?

The boss wants to see you.

All right with you?

Of course. IfJim comes along, be very nice.

You'll know him by his long, gray

beard. How does he wear it, braided?

What does Roscoe want to see

me about? Mmm-mmm-mmm! Love.

Your lipstick, mademoiselle.

Oh, thank you, captain.

And would you get me a very dry

martini, please? Oh, certainly.

A very dry martini, please.

And no olive.

And no olive.

Uh, it's not that I'm snobbish or

anything, but mightn't you get fired?

I don't think so.

I'm invaluable here.

Oh, well, it's nice

to be appreciated.

They know a good man when they

see one. Do they know a fresh one?

Oh, everything's fresh here.

Even the service. Oh, you've met.!

Isn't she wonderful, Jim? Jim?

Why, I thought he was a waiter.

I thought she was a knockout.

This is an occasion

to celebrate.

Best friend meets girl.

Did I do justice to both of you?

Well, um, he's taller.

She's prettier.

Very happy to have met you.

Very happy to have met you.

From Mr. Roscoe.

Thank you.

Bad news?

Oh, no. Just a little business.

Well, here's to Saturday.

Saturday.

What's the trouble, Steve?

Oh, nothing.

Pardon me, please.

What's the matter with him?

Uh, nothing, nothing.

About your Aunt Kitty, what did she say

the number of this place added up to?

Hmm?

Uh, I don't like the look in your eye.

Too bad. We'll see how Steve likes it.

You better be quiet or I'll have the flying

squad bounce you right out on your ear.

Okay, you win.

You don't mind if I just speak

to the bandleader.

He's a friend of mine.

No, but just for a minute.

Thanks, Jim.

I won't forget this.

Uh, just collected a bet

on the bounce.

On the bounce is right.

We have a surprise for you.

A well-known and popular star

has volunteered...

to sing one of her numbers for us...

Miss Mickey Fitzgerald.

Remind me

Not to find you so attractive

Remind me

That the world is full of men

When I start to miss you

To touch your hand

To kiss you

Remind me

To count to ten

I had a feeling when I met you

You'd drive me crazy

if I'd let you

But all my efforts

To forget you

Remind me I'm in love

Again

I get my heart well in hand

And I'm certain

Shoe. Shoe's untied. That

I must take you or leave you

Alone

But you begin

Friend of yours? Mine?

Why, I thought you knew her.

- I never saw her before in all my life.

- Oh, no, mine.

I have a will

made of steel, my friend

But when it seems about to bend

Remind me

Not to find you so attractive

Remind me

That the world is full of men

When I start to miss you

To touch your hand

To kiss you

Remind me to count to ten

I had a feeling when I met you

You'd drive me crazy

if I'd let you

But all my efforts

To forget you

Remind me I'm in love

Again

Great, isn't she?

I think she's coming over

to talk to... you, Lucky.

Pardon me.

He's uh, restless, isn't he?

Who?

Him.

Oh, yes, he... He is... He...

You know,

I just love your singing.

I can scream like a wounded buffalo

too. Your public would be shocked.

Listen. I love him, and she's not going to marry

him because I'm going to over your dead body!

Shh. I'll show you how loud I can

yell! If you think you can get...

Lucky, Cynthia's sore!

I'll take care of Cynthia. Duck!

No, duck!

Oh.

Got a nickel?

Oh, uh, hello. What goes on

around here, red ants or something?

Oh, just some natural interruptions.

Nothing important, really.

I know, but where's... Steve.

Thank you for

a very lovely evening.

I have to go home now and instruct the

telephone company to disconnect my phone.

I know, but Steve...

Kick him good-bye for me.

What is this, the Lincoln Highway?

Quiet. Hey, hey. Wait a minute.

What goes on here? Oh, it's just

a temporary setback, that's all.

If anything goes wrong

with that marriage,

what'll happen to you

will be kinda bad.

And it won't be temporary.

Yes, sir.

And it won't be temporary with you boys

if you let that guy outta your sight.

You got a new job now.

You're frontin' for Cupid.

Mmm. Cupid.

What are you laughing at?

You heard the boss.

And stop smoking. No

smoking. Who's smokin'?

You are.

What makes you think I'm smoking?

You have a cigar in your mouth. I

got my shoes on, but I'm not walkin'.

Oh, come on!

Steve! What do you know

about carbon monoxide?

You won't need it. We're

leaving for San Marcos at 4:00.

What's San Marcos?

The Tropics. South America.

We have to catch a boat this

afternoon! Hurry! Come on!

Well, why?

You dope! She's going!

Who, Cynthia?

Yes!

She won't talk to me. She hates me.

She'll never forgive me after last night.

She's got to.

You'll get around her on the boat.

How can we get around anybody?

We haven't any tickets, have we?

Don't argue. I'll get them.

I'll get packed and see the old man.

Pack a pier and I'll meet you

at the bag at 3:
00!

I mean... I'll meet you at 3:00!

Uh, Thompson! Now, don't get excited! Yes?

Get a bag and

pack the pier at 3:00...

We're sailing at 4:00! Hurry up! Yes.!

Oh, Cynthia, I love you!

Cupid.

Stupid!

Come on. The stairs!

Mr. Harper is out.

Quite sure of that? Well,

I-I... I mean he's almost out.

He's leaving town this

afternoon. We'll see.

Mickey!

Steve.!

Steve? Don't be

frightened, dear.

I just came to say good-bye, because

I... I'm going out of your life forever.

Oh, well, I hope you have

a pleasant trip.

I see you're leaving town, eh?

Yes.

I'm in an awful hurry, Mickey.

You know, Stevie, darling.

Even if we are parting, I'll

always worry about you. Thanks.

I wouldn't want you

to catch cold,

so promise you'll take

your warm overcoat.
