Scared Stiff Page #5

I put in real bullets

on the way to the hotel.

- But you still couldn't have killed him.

- Why?

Well, 'cause your gun is a.32 caliber,

and he was shot with a.38 caliber.

It says so right here in the paper.

- It does?

- Sure.

- Then I didn't do it.

- No.

- Somebody else did it.

- Yeah.

- We can go home.

- Right.

Hey, if I didn't do it, who did it?

- I don't care, Larry.

- Myron, something sure smells fishy.

Why shouldn't it? We're on the ocean.

We're moving!

- Where are you going?

- I'm going to tell the Captain

to turn the ship around. I'm going home.

I'm sorry.

- What's all the excitement?

- Oh, plenty.

Read all about it.

Man killed, but I didn't do it.

What on earth are you talking about?

Well, he was shot with a.38,

and I'm from the class of.32.

- So that's Ramon Cariso.

- Yep.

By the way,

what do you know about all this?

Hey, Corporal, I don't belong

on this boat. I want to go home.

Well, the pilot boat will be leaving

in five minutes.

Oh, good. We'll be right back.

I'm gonna... Tell him to wait!

...trouble. You two make me sick.

Always sick to your stomachs.

- But the ocean, she rocks.

- Oh, get out of the boat.

- Oh, pardon me.

- Oh, pardon me.

- Myron!

- Miss Castinha!

I didn't recognize you

without your fruit bowl.

Did you remember the last time

we see each other?

But I didn't mean to drop the tray

in the middle of your act, honest.

It was an accident.

Besides, that was two years ago.

And you should forget about it.

Anyhow, I was very young at the time.

I'm sorry. I apologize.

- You don't need to apologizes.

- I don't need to apologizes?

No, because you see,

when you dropped the tray, I got fire,

and when I got fire, I find

a wonderful job and now I'm a big star,

and that's why I love you. You see?

Oh, everybody's kissing everyone

around here.

Well, I'm sure glad

you're not mad at me no more.

- I'm not.

- I have to go.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

That was Myron.

- I'm sick.

- Me, too.

And that's all I know.

This fellow, Cariso,

warned me not to sell the castle,

and now I find he's been killed.

Hey, Larry, we can get off the boat

and go ashore with the pilot.

- We can?

- Yeah.

- Great!

- But we better hurry.

- Bye, Miss Carroll.

- Goodbye, Myron.

- Come on, Larry!

- Larry,

- thanks for everything.

- Thank you, Mary.

- When you get back to New York...

- Come on, Larry.

The man's waiting in the pilot boat.

We got to hurry up.

- Come on, Larry!

- I'd like that.

- You would?

- The man said he won't wait too long.

Here we go. Right out there, Larry boy!

Come on, what do you say?

The man... Larry!

Larry, the man's waiting.

We'll be right down, pal!

Larry, come on, let's go!

The man's not gonna wait too long.

Come on.

Pilot boat leaving!

Here we go!

Myron,

I'm not going back to New York.

I'm going to Cuba.

Cuba! Are you crazy?

Yeah, I'm crazy about Cuba.

Everybody should see Cuba.

Now wait a minute, Larry.

I wouldn't want you to do this

on my account.

- No, don't do it on her account.

- Oh, don't try to talk me out of it, Mary.

Somebody around here

is playing murder and for keeps.

You helped me out of a jam,

so I want to help you.

Larry,

there aren't any words to tell you

how I appreciate what you're doing.

- It's wonderful of you.

- It's dangerous, too.

I don't know why I do these things.

Guess I'm just crazy.

You're an angel.

That does it. She kissed him.

He's finished.

Now he'll do anything,

even getting himself killed.

- Well, I'm not. I'm going. Bye-bye.

- Myron!

Myron, I'm ashamed of you.

How can you run out at a time like this?

- It's easy. I'll show you.

- Come here.

Look, now Mary's in trouble,

and we're the only friends she has.

- We got to stand by her.

- You stand by her, Larry.

I'm leaving. I don't go

for none of this murder business.

And I don't mind telling you,

I'm scared stiff.

Well, if you're scared here,

imagine what'll happen if you go back.

- What about Shorty and his men?

- Oh, I forgot about them.

No, Myron, it's cut and dried.

Either you play ball with me,

- or Shorty plays taps for you.

- Okay, you win.

But I'm onto your game, Larry.

You ain't got me fooled.

You're risking our lives for that girl.

I know you. Just 'cause she's beautiful,

and she has luscious lips,

a beautiful figure and she's pretty,

and her hair is shiny and silky and...

- You know something?

- What?

I don't blame you.

- Good evening, Miss Carroll.

- Good evening.

I hoped you might be coming in. I have

a very nice table. Won't you join me?

Oh, that's very nice of you, but I have...

- Thank you.

...a table.

It started in the Congo

Where drums beat night and day

It started in the Congo

Where the natives beat away

The beat of the bongo

The beat of the bongo

For down there in the Congo

The rhythm makes you sway

It came to San Domingo

The rhythm was so grand

Way down in San Domingo

The beat of the bongo

And the bongo from the Congo

And now from San Domingo

Ol!

I really must be going now, Mr. Cortega.

Why, of course.

Hey, Larry, Miss Castinha thinks

we'll go great in Havana.

And I'm going to get top billing, amigo.

I think.

- Oh, get out.

- I'm sorry, Larry.
