with you, Lannigan?

Lannigan, come...

No... No! Help, police! Come on.

Help! Shut up! Hurry along.

We're ready to sail.

Come on, men.

Here is zee papers. That's fine.

No, no!

He... He!

Not me! What's the matter with him?

He's nuts. As you say in

your language, he's "nots"!

No, he is... Come on,

men. Get him out of here.

You can't get away

with this!

You can't get away with

this. Auf wiedersehn.

Ace, Ace!

Wait a minute.

There! There! It is his

sweetheart. She will tell you.

- They are taking him away.

- Oh, Ace! Ace!

Ace, darling.

Officer, you cannot take him.

No! I love him. He has not done anything.

My heart, she bleeds.

But what can I do?

It's not true.

Come, woman.

It's him, not me!

Get him aboard.

You're all right. You think

fast. We must leave here fast.

Yeah, we're hot.

Go ahead!

There's a boat sailing

tonight, the Star of Asia.

The first mate's a friend

I used to borrow money from.

When we land someplace,

I'll get a job.

Steady, I mean.

That's a laugh. Me working.

One of these days

I'll get you all dolled up...

and we'll walk in

on Josh and Gloria...

and will they

keel over, boy.

We'll get married

right away, huh?

Yes, Ace,

right away.

I sure spin around inside

every time I look at you.

Guess that

must be love, huh?

Everything looks so good,

feels so good.

The air and everything.

That the way you feel?

Yes, that is the way I feel.

We'll get along fine.

We will be very happy.

Why'd you do it, Mima?

Do what?

What's the use of kidding

ourselves? It's just not there.

Do not talk

that way, Ace.

We will get married

and... Oh, no, we won't.

It's Josh you want,

isn't it?

No, Josh is where

he should be.

So that's it.

You went noble, huh?

No...

No, it is

just that...

I saw that girl and

his father and...

I knew that

he was not for me.

Forgive me, Ace.

Please, forgive me.

Josh, Sir Malcolm's

a very important man.

They don't hold

these boats for everyone.

I want you to be

particularly nice to him.

Malcolm's in a position to swing

me a million dollars of business.

I never heard of such a thing.

Never, in all my life!

Sir Malcolm,

what happened?

Some blithering idiot on shore

pulled me out of the crowd,

and nearly ripped my coat

off my back. Did you fall?

Chucked a lot of muck

all over me.

Sir Malcolm,

Spotto!

That's it, Spotto!

Slobbered it all over me.

Where, where?

Where was this?

How the blazes do I know?

Down the blasted street.

Josh, where are you going? Josh!

Come back here.

What do you mean...

That little scene is called

"Spurned At The Altar"...

or "The Sailor's Farewell. "

Have you seen a fellow with

a sweet potato selling soap?

No, sir, do you want to

buy something? No. Oh, Ace!

Ace!

Oh, Ace!

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to

show you Spotto, miracle worker.

Step right up and take

a bottle of this home.

The usual dollar bottle

sells for 50 cents.

I'm not going to ask a quarter.

I'm not going to ask a dime.

If anybody's got a hot nickel,

step up and get this.

One hot nickel. That's

all. Who wants a bottle?

I'll take a dozen bottles.

There's a man who'll take...

Josh!

Gosh, Josh!

Well, Ace.

How are you, Josh? I've been trying

to send a wedding present all over...

But we're not...

We didn't get married.

You didn't... You're the

dopey-looking cluck she wants.

Me? Yeah, you. Step in.

Well, Mima.

Oh, Josh.

You know what brought this

happy couple back together?

Spotto,

the magic love potion.

One dollar a bottle.

Come in, get happy.

Reunites lovers.

Cupid in a bottle.

And he ruined my suit. Yeah? Come on.

I paid him for it.

Come on, you go with us. Here we go again.

Josh, beef! You ruined his

suit. Now you go with us.

Wait just a second. Time, time.

Here, take it easy.

Josh, I'm going with them.

Oh, you're going

with them?

Yes, I'm going with them.

Will you be gone long?

I'll check back from time

to time. Oh, capital good.

I'll take over while you're gone. Yes, do.

But don't forget. Patty-cake,

patty-cake, baker's man.

Bake a cake

as fast as you...
