Road to Morocco Page #5

Carve it?

And what was that... business?

Orville?

Orville, those two men--

What were they doing here?

They were measuring me

for some outfit.

Measuring you!

Do you know

who they are?

The royal dressmakers.

No, my beloved.

They're undertakers.

Well, that--

Huh? They were measuring me

for a graveyard gabardine?

Yes.

Jeff.Jeff.

There you are. I gotta

have a talk with you.

Orvie, I've been doin'

a lot of thinkin'.

There's no use you and I

arguing anymore. I'm

gonna beat it out of here.

That's it... you're not.

You don't have to.

I admit I tried

to cut in on you.

Whatever you've got,

Shalmar's goin' through with it.

That's all been changed.

Huh?

I'm the guy

that's shoving off.

I've been watching you two

and you're made for each other.

You look good together...

just the right size.

You're takin' her.

I'm givin' her to you.

What are you

cookin' up?

The last gal you gave me

was that lady wrestler.

What's behind all this?

I got to thinking

about the burying--

I mean the marrying.

It wouldn't last.

In a week, I'd be cold.

Besides, I got a girl.

I got her at the harem,

right off the assembly line.

Nice model.

He's gonna fly with me.

My love will consume him thus...

and thus,

and thus...

Aunt Lucy?

A girl can eat

too much yeast.

But, my very own--

Yeah, later.

You gotta catch me

when I'm in the mood.

You ain't been out of it

for twenty years.

This is a whole new

shuffle... you two!

Wait till Shalmar

hears about this.

It's not gonna be easy.

It's gonna be a tough assignment

to get Shalmar to give me up.

A struggle.

But you can handle it.

You've got everything I've got,

and you've had it

many years longer.

I got rid of mine.

It's gonna tear the heart

out of her but I'll catch

her on the rebound.

She might settle

for me.

That's the spirit.

I'll be right behind you...

see you through to the end,

leave no stone unturned.

Why don't we fly away?

Why don't you fly around

and warm your motor?

I'll join you later.

Orville?

Orville.

Orville!

This is disgraceful!

Tsk, tsk.

Shh!

I'm not gonna let you do this

dreadful thing to Geoffrey.

Shh.!

You'll be the

death of me yet.

Please, Aunt Lucy.

You've got to talk to him,

tell him the truth.

I ain't doin' nothin'.

Look what he did to me!

I insist. If you

don't tell him, I will.

You can't talk to him.

You're in my dream.

Goodness, gracious me!

That's right.

We're only allowed to be

in one dream a week.

Mr.Jordan doesn't like us

pestering people.

- I can understand that.

- I've got to make him hear me.

Geoffrey!

Geoffrey.!

Geoffrey.!

Shh.!

Shh!

Geoffrey!

Oh, oh.!

Take your hands

off me.! Stop it.!

Oh, oh.! Ahhh.!

Guess that'll show her.

[ Moaning ]

Your feet are cold.

You see, Master.

Wings!

And more than that,

they have legs.

Insects! Fireflies!

What are they doing

in my telescope?

I don't know. I haven't

cleaned the lenses for a week.

Dear, oh, dear!

I must have mistaken these

fireflies forJupiter and Venus.

Yes, Master, you've certainly

gummed up the works.

Indeed, I have.

My prophesies for

the American's death...

were based on the fixed

positions ofJupiter and Venus.

This doesn't add up.

I want you.

You say you want me,

Orville says it's okay,

and you're gonna marry him.

It's something I can't explain.

We're going to be married.

That's all I have to say.

I've something

to say too!

I'm not in love

with you anymore.

I got another girl.

No more talk.

Go to your room and

prepare for the wedding.

I just got one thing

to tell you, Princess--

I'm going to my room

and prepare for the wedding.

Okay, fellas,

who's got the dice?

He's a pip, brushing off

a dream like you.

Instead of a wedding,

you'd think he was

going to his own funeral.

Yes... wouldn't you?

Princess,

Princess!

Mistress of my life,

listen and be merciful.

I have made

a calamitous error.

You must not

marry that American.

You must marry

Mullay Kassim!

Mullay Kassim?

I must hear

everything.

Your life is influenced

byJupiter and Venus,

so it is my painful

duty to tell you

what I've learned.

You are indeed the favored

one of Allah, O Master.

To marry the princess,

most men in Karameesh

would gladly die.

Yes.

That's what's

worrying me.

So you see, they turned

out to be fireflies.

I was wrong

about everything.

Geoffrey!

Don't you see?

Isn't it wonderful?

Yes, it's pretty good.

What's wonderful about it?

It just means Turkey's

back in circulation...

and you get tied up

to Mullay Kassim.

Mullay Kassim.

Geoffrey, you may

feel strange about

marrying a princess,

but I'll spend the rest

of my life trying

to live it down.

You mean, you and me?

Is that what you mean?

Mistress!

You see,

Hyder Khan?

You see what your

fireflies have done?

How about this!

Wait'll I break

the news to doodlebug.

That's why Orville

was so anxious to

hand you over to me!

I think he got wind

of this whole thing.

Don't say anything to him,

not just yet.

Don't worry about me.

I'll handle him!

Shalmar and I

had a little talk,

and we've decided to accept

your generous offer.

What generous offer?

You giving me to her.

She's decided

to accept me.

The guys are working on

the nuptial knots.

No kidding!

I knew you'd see it.

You two, what a pair!

Hand-in-hand!

Brother, you're gonna

have the happiest week.

You're gonna be in clover!

Yes, sir, deep in clover.

[ Speaking Arabic ]

Have you

told me all?

Oh, Sheik.

I have told you

what has befallen,

trusting in your

generosity to reward me.

Here.

You must hurry,

O Mighty One!

When I left, the princess and

her consort were preparing

to leave the country.

Hurry!

There isn't much time.

Get some sense

into your noggin,

and you and me blow.

We're going to

the United States

to get hooked up.

Hyder Khan's got that jinx

spread all over the world.

Yeah? Let's see him

mess around in Brooklyn.

Here comes Murder,

Incorporated.

Call me later.

So, that is your plan!

Running away with this dog.

I could show a dog

a few things about

running right now.

I'm not mixed-up in this.

I'm tending the gardens.

These tulips need

pruning... have one?

You lie to Kassim?

No, but it's

a big switch now.

I gave her up.

I'm on your side.

They're ducking out on you,

the dirty double-crossers!

What do you think we

ought to do with them?

What is this?

So, there's

another one!

Nice going,Junior.

Remind me to throw you

a piece of cheese

in the morning.

Kassim--

Silence!

Who is this goat?

This moon-faced son

of a one-eyed donkey?

I wouldn't let him call

me that, even if there

is a resemblance.

Where do you come off

cutting in here?

Go play cops and robbers

someplace else!

Beat it, scat, shoo!

Slap his teeth out.

I'll hold your coat.

I'll hold

your coat too.

Kassim, please.

Please!

Quiet! You dare oppose

the will of Kassim?

Oppose your will?

I'll have you writing one

if you mess with me!

Take a poke at him.
