Road to Rio Page #2

Watch your step!

Snap it up!

This is a Texas steer.

He's still kicking a little.

Hey, where are you going?

Put it on the block!

Anymore?

That's it, matey. Close her up!

Okay!

Don't go away.

I'll be right back.

Hot Lips?

Psst!

Hot Lips?

Let me hear from you!

Hot Lips? Psst!

Well, I'm getting warm.

That's ham.

Hot Lips!

Huh? Huh?

Quiet, quiet. You sound like a typewriter.

How do you feel?

Huh?

Like a popsicle.

Where are we?

I'll get you a spot of tea.

Come on.

What I need is a blowtorch.

You look like an ad for

Kool Cigarettes. Come on.

So long, fellas.

Where are we? What happened? Who was it?

Hurry. This is bad

for my throat.

Oh, oh.

Come on, I'm getting cold.

What happens now?

Everything's all fixed, penguin.

Wait till you see the cosy little hideaway

I found for us. A lifeboat built for two.

All I want to do is curl up

in a nice warm stove.

Huh?

Hey, in here!

Come in!

Your suits, gentlemen.

But just a minute.

Where are

the other two?

Why, I really don't know,

sir. I had them when I left.

Would you please try

to find those suits?

We'll be terribly

inconvenienced without them.

You wouldn't want us

to be inconvenienced.

Those suits

were tailor-made.

We're very fond

of them.

We'd better

get them back...

Harry!

That'll be all, thank you.

I'll tell you when

to get tough with people.

You're working for me, Harry,

and I've too much at stake to have

it spoiled by your hoodlum tactics.

Is that clear?

Right, Mrs. Vail.

Come with me.

I can't find Lucia.

Right, now we can see.

Yeah, I've seen enough of you.

Here, give me that.

Burn that man's suit.

I'd like to defrost my goose

pimples, if you don't mind.

Isn't this great? We got the housing

shortage beat. We got our own lifeboat.

If the boat sinks,

we're sitting pretty.

We got the jump on

the women and children.

You couldn't get me a trap like

this nearer the boiler room?

I don't want you down there.

I like heat!

I'd like to hear

from my blood again.

I want you up on deck where it's healthy,

where you can breathe that good, deep salt air

You're salty enough for me,

getting me in these nooks.

Because you give my money to those dames!

May I give you one small piece

of chitchat for your files?

If the most beautiful

woman in the world walked

by, know what I'd do?

Give her the full fuller.

I'd give her the brush.

Do you hear that?

What's that?

Come on.

Who's there?

It's just a dame.

She's crying. Maybe I can help her.

Don't bother. She's old

enough to blow her own nose.

Wait a minute.

You gave me your word of honor, your

scout's oath and you crossed your heart.

That's a tough

parlay to buck.

But those are real tears.

This dame's different.

Here, now, here!

No, let me go!

Here! Here, now!

You don't want to do that. That

water's pretty cold out there.

Hey, let's get back. You

want to get caught? Come on!

I said, let me go!

Let her go. Maybe she

wants to rinse a few things.

You're loaded, you've got

everything to live for.

Yeah, she's loaded, but remember

Oklahoma, Texas, New Orleans?

I'll help you jump.

Now come here!

Get back in the nook,

schnook. Go on! Hey, whoa!

Wait a minute, I just thought of something.

If you jump, you'll get us into trouble.

We got all

we can handle now.

I'm sorry.

I'll go back to my cabin.

Go back to your cabin and shoot

yourself. That way, nobody will get hurt.

Make it very quiet. A little

killing... Take it easy.

Who are those men

with Lucia?

I don't know. But there's

something familiar about them.

There should be.

They're wearing our suits.

Shh!

You'll thank me later

for interfering.

I can thank you now, Mr...?

Sweeney. Scat Sweeney.

My name is

Lucia Maria de Andrade.

And I'm Hot Lips Barton. Okay,

introduction's over. Let's spread out.

Wait a minute.

Wait, don't push me, pappy.

This kid's in a lot of trouble.

We got to take things easy.

Will you give her the brush?

Scout's honor.

Okay. So long, kid.

And don't tell him any sad

stories, because we're cleaned out.

Haven't got to eat.

Stowaways, third class.

Stowaways...

Why do you want to take that long, wet

leap? A gorgeous gal like yourself?

I don't know.

I'm worried and confused.

I just don't know.

Couldn't a man, could it?

No.

Yes, I suppose so.

Oh, I get it.

All men are rats...

No!

No, it isn't that at all.

I love Sherman.

He's going to meet me in Rio.

We'll be married. We'll be

happy, we'll be very happy.

Wait, wait.

Who's Sherman?

He's my Aunt Catherine's brother.

Your uncle?

No.

He... You see, she's not really

my aunt. She's my guardian.

Well, does she know about...?

Oh, no!

If she ever found out what I tried

to do tonight, she'd be heartbroken.

She's a wonderful woman.

Well, now we're both confused.

You're not in love with this fella.

You couldn't be.

Girls don't go around cutting

themselves in with the porpoises

when they're going to marry the fella they

love. That doesn't make any sense at all.

No. Nothing

makes sense lately.

Every time I make up my mind

to do something, I change it,

just as though I had

no will of my own.

There are hours, days even, when I

just don't remember what's happened.

I know what you're thinking, Mr.

Sweeney, and maybe you're right.

Wait a minute. Don't you

tell me what I'm thinking.

You're just as normal as I am,

if that's any consolation to you.

But you got to pull

yourself together, honey.

Well!

Free movies!

Isn't this pleasant?

Outdoors and everything.

Do you mind sitting

here on the balcony?

I wonder what

we're running tonight.

Say, look, honey.

Hey, psst!

You're going through a tough time

and you're letting it get you.

That's no way

to handle trouble.

Look at Max and Gertrude

up there on the screen.

Her lease is up, he's got a big

hangover and her feet are killing her,

but there they are up there,

floating through the air

as if they didn't have

a care in the world.

How do you know all this?

Watch the next shot.

Why, Mr. Sweeney,

that's you and your friend.

That's right.

We stopped off in Hollywood

for a few days,

and stole a couple of dollars

doing extra work.

Old Hot Lips, he's really

hamming it up, isn't he?

But getting back

to Max and Gertrude,

you'd think he was madly

in love with her, wouldn't you?

Now, I'll tell you something, the

boy has a redhead in Jersey City.

Mad about her.

You'd think she was in

love with him. She's not.

Watch this.

He thinks she's in love

with him. Watch this here.

Loves to show his teeth. You can't blame

him, though. They cost him a pretty penny.

You see?

No use worrying.

"Love is funny"

"Or it's sad"

"Or it's quiet"

"Or it's mad"

"It's a good thing"

"Or it's bad"

"But beautiful"

"Beautiful

To take a chance"

"And if you fall

You fall"

"And I'm thinking

I wouldn't mind at all"

"Love is tearful

Or it's gay"

"It's a problem

Or it's play"

"It's a heartache

Either way"

"But beautiful"

"And I'm thinking"
