One Night in the Tropics Page #7

Yeah. Two weeks.

Two weeks.

That's fourteen days.

A dollar a day, that's $14.

So, we'll deduct 14 from 43,

leaving, uh, the sum

of $29 coming to you.

"The sum of. "

If I get some of it, I'll be lucky.

Gimme the $29.

But!

Now I know it as good as you do.

Wait a minute. Don't get excited.

You took time out

for lunch, didn't you?

Oh, no, Abbott, not that.

Please don't take that away from me.

One little hour a day, that's

all I took. One hour a day?

I didn't eat much.

Now, wait a minute.

One little bitty hour, that big.

That's right. That's right.

One hour a day, 365 days...

That's 365 hours.

That comes to about 15 days,

I take it.

You might as well take it.

You been takin' everything else!

So...

15 from 29 is 14, but...

Now I know it

better than you do!

Wait a minute.

I'm glad I thought of this.

Do you know there's 13 holidays you

didn't work? This is gonna cost plenty too.

Wait a minute. You didn't

work those 13 days. No.

You had $14 coming?

So we'll deduct 13 from 14,

leaving the exact sum

of one dollar coming to you.

How do you like that?

I'm supposed to get $365.

and I wind up with a buck!

Oh, gracias, senor.

Sure.

Wait!

This is a fine time

to take a nap.

Ah, now we have Rudolfo.

And now we have

the sport of ex-kings.

And if anybody faints,

we have ex-nurses.

But Aunt Kitty,

nobody's going to faint.

We're all having too much

fun, aren't we, Steve, darling?

Oh, yes, it's a riot.

Oh, Mickey, why don't you put

your head on Jim's shoulder?

I'm sure you

can see much better.

Oh, no, she doesn't want to

put her head on my shoulder.

Oh, yes, I do. Oh, now, Lucky,

don't be shy with Mickey and me.

We both understand all about

love, don't we, Mickey? And how.

Oh, Lucky, what a wonderful

shoulder you have.

I can't see if she's

gonna sit like... I've...

Why, Steve, I believe

you're actually jealous.

Isn't it wonderful what these

two boys will do for each other?

Isn't it a wonderful friendship?

Aw, where's the bull? Why, darling,

there's plenty of it around here.

Don't you think so?

Oh, don't move your shoulder, Lucky.

Oh, it's so heavenly.

Oh, there he is!

Aw, isn't he cute

in his darling little suit?

Who, the bull?

It's for the senorita!

Oh, no, no.!

Mustn't do that.!

That means he's dedicating

the bull to Cynthia.

Uh, doesn't it, Senor Escobar?

But of a certainty.

It is almost a declaration oflove. Ah.

Well, I'm glad there's

nothing personal about it.

Hasn't he the most beautiful legs

you've ever seen?

- Who, the bull?

- Oh, there is a man.

Now look here, Mickey... Uh,

that's Cynthia. Mickey's here.

Yes, you boys are

a little confused, I'm afraid.

But there's one thing

I'm certain of...

Rudolfo is divine.

Oh, I don't know. I thinkJim has a

cuter nose. Do you? Let me see, Jim.

Come on, Lucky. Show Cynthia

your nose. Yes, come on.

Stop it, will ya? Why

should he show you his nose?

Isn't it sweet, the way

they stick together?

Oh, what a pretty bull.

Ol.!

Oh, it's so exciting.

You know, Steve,

it's so much fun being engaged,

I don't think we'll get

married tomorrow.

Why not?

I think you'd be much happier if you waited

till you got to New York for the wedding.

Yes. Why are you so interested

in when we get married?

Why, Stevie, you know I've always

been interested in when we get married.

Oh! Did nobody

feel a drop of rain?

A drop? It's a deluge!

It's pouring, Senor Escobar.

Now, wait a minute, Abbott. If I'm gonna stay

and watch over a girl, I want my old job back.

All right, but not for

the same money. Okay.

What money?

- Hey, Abbott! The Good Humor man!

- No, no, tamales. Hot dogs.

And those ench... those ench...

The what?

They're good!

Hot dogs! Hey, come here!

Come here. What's the

matter with you? Here you go.

Hot dog.

Give me a hot dog too.

What time's the floor show

start here? Quiet, please!

No floor show, huh?

No floor show.

Oh, thanks a lot, yeah.

Here, you are. There, old boy.

No, I don't eat mustard.

Mustard goes with a hot dog.

Not with mine. I eat it plain.

Mustard was made for the hot dog!

I don't care what it's made for. I don't

like it. Oh, well, that's different.

Do I have to eat something I

don't like? No, I didn't know that.

I don't wanna eat something

that's gonna make me sick.

Well, I didn't know that!

Mustard makes me sick!

I'm a happy kid. I got a lot

to live for. I know that, Lou.

I don't want to walk

around the streets sick.

If I walk around the streets sick

and I can't get a job,

what happens to my wife and kids?

What do you mean?

I got a wife and two children.

What about it?

My kids wind up in the orphan

asylum. Aw, behave yourself.

You're a fine guy, sendin' my kids to an

orphan asylum. Who's sending who where?

What did my kids ever do to you?

Nothing.

What right you got to put 'em away

in the orphan asylum?

I'm able to support them children.

You got no right to put 'em away.

Don't get excited. Come on. Get

my kids out of the orphan asylum!

Now, wait a minute! What

started all this? Mustard.

It's there if you want it. Well, you

can take it away. I don't want it!

What I'm trying to convey to you is that

the hot dog and the mustard go together.

Let 'em go together!

I don't want to spoil any romance!

Aw, talk sense.

I don't like it.

So you don't like it.

I like "Worcestershiresheer" sauce.

You what?

"Worcestershiresheer" sauce.

"Worcestershiresheershire

shauce?" You can't even say it.

But you don't like mustard?

No, I don't.

Give me a reason. Who are you

that you shouldn't like mustard?

What are you, some big shot?

Too big a guy to like mustard?

What did mustard ever do for me?

Aw, behave.

Why should I throw myself out

on account of mustard?

Is mustard any better than I am?

Go on, pick your friends.

Who do you want, me or mustard? Go

ahead, take mustard! Wait a minute.

Just a minute. Do you know

where mustard comes from?

They don't scrape it off

of a mustard plaster.

Certainly not.

They manufacture mustard.

They spend millions of dollars every year to

put up factories just to manufacture mustard.

Do you know those factories employ

thousands and thousands of men,

just to manufacture mustard?

Do you know those men take care

of thousands of families and homes,

all on account of mustard?

Andjust because you don't like

mustard, what do you want them to do?

Close those factories down and

put all those people out of work?

Do you mean to stand here and tell

me just because I don't eat mustard,

I'm closing down the mustard

factories? Wait a minute.

Are you trying to tell me that those thousands of

people are making one jar of mustard, just for me?

I'll explain it... Tell them not to make

any more, 'cause I'm not gonna eat it!

You can lay 'em off!

Sure.

Who am I to support thousands? Oh,

why stand here and argue with you?

You said it.

Your dream is the same

As my dream

Your future is mine

When I dream
