"With the moon in the sky And a girl

in your arms And a look in her eye"

That the good one?

No, this one.

"When she smiles your way"

"What more would you want

Anyone to say?"

"So you sigh, just sigh"

"You don't have to mention

That Yankee phrase, aye, aye"

"Perhaps when you end

Your vacation"

"You'll bring back a bit of Brazil"

"So you can't understand

What she's saying"

"You need an interpreter still"

"But you don't have

To know the language"

"With the moon in the sky And a girl

in your arms And a look in her eye"

"I know you don't have

To know the language"

"If you don't want to say goodbye"

"With the moon in the sky"

"And a girl in your arms"

"It's the look in her eye"

"You don't have to know

You don't have to know"

"The language isn't necessary

'Cause the meaning doesn't vary"

"If you've got the charm and taste

The language isn't necessary"

"When she smiles your way"

"What more would you want

Anyone to say?"

"So you sigh, just sigh"

"You don't have to mention

That Yankee phrase, aye, aye"

"Perhaps when you end

Your vacation"

"You'll bring back a bit of Brazil"

"So you can't understand

What she's saying"

"You need an interpreter still"

"But you don't even have

To know the language"

"With the moon in the sky And the girl

in your arms And a look in her eye"

"Aye, aye, aye, aye!"

"So you don't have

To know the language"

"If you don't want to say goodbye"

Some orchestra!

I still got three bars to go.

That's two under par for you.

Everybody's finished.

Hey, wait a minute.

Where are you going?

Going out for a little smoke.

Oh, no. You've been

telling me that every night

for the past week. This

time I'm going with you.

Make sure it's only

the pipe that smokes!

Just a minute, clumsy.

Pick up that stuff.

What?

You heard what the man said.

Stoop if you can.

Come on.

What stuff?

This stuff.

Excuse me.

Certainly.

Excuse me, please.

Harry?

She'll be meeting him

in the same place.

See what they're up to.

Strange business. I don't get it.

Where's that radiogram you mentioned?

I've hidden it over here.

Let me see it.

It arrive today for Mrs. Vail.

I opened it.

"Rodrigues knows about the papers.

Immediate marriage necessary."

Signed "Sherman."

What papers?

I can't imagine.

Who's this Rodrigues?

He's the attorney

for my aunt's estate.

Looks to me like Sherman's

after your money.

Oh, no.

It couldn't be that.

My aunt Catherine has

supported me all of my life.

I still don't like her.

She gives me a creepy feeling.

You know, lately I seem

to get the same feeling.

Sometimes when she talks to

me, I get chills up my spine.

Honey, next time you get chilly,

I'm your man.

Lucia, mind if I come in?

How do you like that dish-faced

Don Juan? He's checking up on me.

Lucia? This is Hot Lips.

String him along a little bit.

We might need him, huh?

No, this is

the first place he looks.

Well, here I am.

Start bubbling.

Hello.

Are you alone?

I certainly am alone.

Why do you ask?

I thought you might have

a date with bean belly.

Oh, no.

What makes you think that?

He's always looking

for a place to keep warm.

You don't think I could

get serious about him,

with a great big handsome hunk

of man like you around, do you?

Just call me Hunk.

All right, Hunk.

I must remember

what kind of soap I use.

Here, drop anchor and we'll

talk it over. Did I say "talk"?

Yes, we do have a lot...

I know there's not much time

for talking. I know how you feel.

Shall I kiss you now or do you

want me to tease you for a while?

Oh, but, Hot Lips...

I'm all lips.

Please, I...

I know how you feel.

You're warm and grateful,

passionate...

What's the matter,

you crazy or something?

Please, I...

Who came in?

I'm sorry, I lost my head.

Yeah, that makes two of us.

I'm sorry. Please sit down.

You sold me, baby.

Come on, dear.

That's better.

Let's live a little.

Forgiven?

Oh, naturally.

Naturally.

Oh, you have such

a nice smooth hand.

Oh!

This one's even softer.

And this one's softer, too!

You have three

of the nicest...

Three hands? Three...? And

this one's got hair on it!

Aha! And it's got an ape

on the end of it!

Alone, huh?

Who's this, your father?

You were never better. Great try.

Goodbye, sister! And don't write!

Take it easy. Let me tell you...

That's all right. I'm not blaming you.

You couldn't help yourself. You're

just a weak spineless jellyfish.

You're so sweet.

I know what's cooking here.

This doll's making a play

for you so she can get to me!

But, Hot Lips...

It's not going to work.

You double-crossed your last

sucker. Let's blow this nest.

Uh-oh! Mrs. Vail.

Who?

The Black Widow.

The closet, come on!

Shh!

Oh, there you are. The captain's

been asking for you, child.

I was just coming up.

Don't kick them.

They've had enough.

Cigarette?

Thank you.

There's my brother.

Sherman?

Hello, darling!

I'll meet you at the gangplank!

Where's Lucia?

Find Lucia.

Yes, ma'am.

Scat, you do believe that I didn't know

those men were in the closet?

I believe you, but that

Hot Lips still thinks

he was framed. Let him

think that way, huh?

What are we doing? I thought

you were getting me off the boat.

Stand by. Genius.

Thinking all the time.

There you are, all to

yourself. Very intimate.

Scat, you're a genius.

Well, I admit it.

Get in there.

Take off that skimmer.

Can you handle it?

Oh, I think so.

In case you want to get a little

air, you can bore yourself an opening.

No dancing, please.

Tilt!

Sorry, honey.

Hey, what do you say...?

Oh, there you are!

Why did you want

to meet down here?

Big news. We signed a bull fiddle

player. We're going to meet him at the hotel.

That's... What do we want

with a bull fiddle player?

My mind is working all the

time, wheels are turning.

Tell me more, Orson.

When we get off the boat, we'll get a

band for you, like you always wanted.

Isn't that wonderful?

Are you happy?

Let me see how you look when

you're happy. Not that happy!

I talk the language, I'll make

the contacts. We can't miss.

You're getting on the ball! For a minute,

I thought you were down here with Lucia.

No! That doll is

cooked for me, boy.

Feels like the bull

is already in here.

Hey! Why do we have

to carry this thing?

It's a union rule down here. The bull fiddle

player never carries his own instrument.

They got their own union?

Yes. Take some.

Here we go.

Push a little. This is no ricksha!

Left rudder!

I can't understand you leaving

Lucia without even saying goodbye.

I'm through with that chick. I told

you downstairs, don't you believe me?

Yeah.

Can you breathe all right?

Sure I can breathe.

See?

It won't be long.

Easy there, butterfingers, easy!

You waiting

for your broom?

I'll listen for you

on "Inner Sanctum."

What about Rodrigues?

Nothing yet.

As long as he doesn't get to Lucia

before the wedding, we're safe.

The papers.

Good.

Put them away.

Where's the girl?
