Road to Singapore Page #5

Come on, now.

What is this?

Let me carry it for a

while, huh? It isnt heavy.

Taking my ring.

That's stealing.

If you wanted it, why didn't you

ask me? I'd have given it to you.

Yeah, you'd give me your

knife too, without asking.

What are you going to say when you

give it to her? I'll think of something.

I know how you work.

What are you going to say?

Don't worry about me. I'll think of

something. That's what I'm afraid of.

Get up forward,

I'll paddle.

Hey, hey, you

double-crossing wolf.

How am I going to get home?

You'll think of something.

Oh, Mima.

Hello, Josh.

I got a present for you.

Oh, but you shouldn't have

done that. Oh, why not?

Here, let me

save the flower.

You need the money. We

don't need it that bad.

I just hope you like them,

that's all.

Nice?

Oh, they're wonderful.

They're wonderful,

Josh.

I've never had a pair

of silk stockings in my life.

I had to sort of

guess about the size.

I didn't know exactly

what you wore.

Such a pretty color.

Look how soft and smooth.

Guaranteed not to rip,

run or bag at the knees.

You and Ace

shouldn't have done this.

Ace? He had

nothing to do with it.

He said we had no business

spending the money.

He's a nice guy, but he's

a little on the tight side.

I said it's only money. If Mima

wants them, I'm going to buy them.

This is the most wonderful

present I've ever had.

Where is Ace?

He'll be along.

There was a girl he had to see.

A girl?

That's Ace... he's chasing

dames all the time.

I did not know

Ace was like that.

Oh, yes. With Ace

it's a new one every minute.

He'll sit on the beach

with them and hold hands.

He'll leave them flat,

just like that. He will?

Yes. I promise you,

I know this Ace Lannigan.

I know how he works, and

I'm the best friend he's got.

I'm so afraid of night

'Cause I'm too romantic

Moonlight and stars

Have made such a fool of me

You know you're

much too near

And I'm too romantic

Now wouldn't I look a sight

on a bended knee

I'm startled

when you whisper

I'll run

if you should sigh

I must be so careful

Or I'll kiss my heart

good-bye

You shouldn't

let me dream

'Cause I'm too

romantic

Don't make me

fall unless

It could all

come true

How can you say to me

that you're too romantic

Well, I mean it.

I'm really sincere.

Moonlight and stars

have had no effect on you

Oh, yes they have. I remember

a girl at the junior prom.

What if I am

too near

And you're

too romantic

That's dangerous. Don't

you see? You being there...

I'm half afraid

you wouldn't know what to do

They tell me your first

impulse is the best one.

I'll tell you

in a whisper

The reason

for my sigh

And if you

believe me

You can kiss

your heart good-bye

That's what

I'm afraid of.

I wouldn't

harm your dream

'Cause you're

too romantic

Now you're

catching on.

And if you fall

well then

It would all

come true

Josh!

I don't agree with

you at all, Gloria.

You've tried reasoning

with him and got nowhere.

There are degrees

of reasoning.

Your idea is to hit people on

the head with a baseball bat.

Do you know of any better

way of handling Josh?

Why do you suppose

I came along?

Oh, I'm famished.

I'm so hungry my spare tire is deflated.

Pretty near.

Not those poor

bones again.

I think perhaps

they will make soup once more.

I think they've

earned a rest.

How about some

flapjacks, huh?

Where's the flour?

Ace took it.

Ace took it?

Where is he?

He's outside.

Ace, where's...

What are you doing with our

flour? Boy, are we going to eat!

Eat that muck?

No, this is for cockroaches.

We're starving to death and

you're feeding cockroaches.

No, this is Scrammo,

the miracle exterminator.

I'm going to put it in jars

and sell it for two bits.

That stuff won't kill cockroaches.

It will if they eat it.

Suppose they refuse. We'll

stuff it down their throats.

Hey, Sonny,

come here.

I never thought

I'd stoop to this.

What do you got there? You see what it is.

Yeah, that's food. What are you

going to do with it? Take it home.

You could have a lot of fun with a

knife like this. It's practically new.

Ah!

It's no good.

What do you mean,

no good?

Hello, rugged. Where did you get this food?

At the feast.

Feast? Where?

Over there. They're giving food away!

Oh, they're

giving food away.

Come on,

let's get Mima.

- The feast is only for natives.

- Natives?

Go get that Scrammo and

bring it in here. Scrammo?

What are you doing?

Are you going crazy?

No, we're going native

and you're going with us.

What is this? This might not be good

for cockroaches, but it is for us.

Uh, uh.

Sukka

dokka wokey?

No sukka dokka. Sukka

dokka, bicarbonate of soda.

Okeydokey. Sukka dokka, one for Monday.

Sukka dokka.

Hey, Ninkey-Poo is sure

giving you the business.

I think she's

the local dressmaker.

What'd he do

with the match?

He just gave his

stomach the hot foot.

So this is

where he lives, eh?

Charming view. I imagine

on a clear day one can see...

the cannibals

eating a missionary.

This is what he

left home for.

Where is he?

I wish I knew.

Look, what have I got here?

It is his cap.

It is his cap.

It is his cap.

Why are you saying to me

what I am saying to you?

It is his cap.

Well? This boy, he see them go away.

Ask him

where they went.

Sula malanga

ini sukow awanga?

Sukow awanga nilo ti

si doog. What'd he say?

They're at the feast.

Oh, I never should have

eaten that last duck.

I do not feel

so good myself.

Would you like me to rub your

back? That's not where they are.

Care for some fruit?

Oh, check, check.

File them.

How often do they give

these little taffy pulls?

Once a year. That's a

long time between meals.

Here I go again.

What came in?

Where is Josh going?

Where is he always going?

Sees a pair of big brown eyes

and starts doing nip-ups.

Give him a girl, a moon and

some stars and he goes haywire.

Just give him a girl. I did

not know Josh was like that.

Oh, sure he is.

I know him.

I know how he works, and

I'm the best friend he's got.

Hu-e nui-nui!

Ugh, ugh, ugh

Chu, chu, chuh

Huh, huh, huh, ha

Chu, chu, chuh

Shhh huh

Do they have

jitterbugs down here too?

What's

cooking here?

That's freewheeling.

Well, pardon me.

No.

She wants to play.

No. But I have to be courteous.

It is their marriage ceremony.

Each girl chooses a man.

If they like each other,

they are to be married.

This is the way they pick their

husbands. Pick their husbands?

How do you say

"scram" in Kaigoon?

Go away. He is mine. Spread out.

That was

a close one.

In another minute she'd have had

a wedding ring through my nose.
