Seven Sinners Page #3

- Didn't I told you to get outta here?

- I'm your new bouncer.

- I tell you... What?

- Bouncer.

I'm your magician, waiter,

juggler and dancer.

Waiter, juggler, dancer, bouncer?

Who told you that?

- Bijou.

- That's enough.

That's enough! That's enough!

You seem to have whipped the Navy

into a furious sense of duty.

Mr Judson and Mr Henckel have duty

in the morning and wish to say good night.

- How splendid. Did I do that?

- I'll give you the credit.

Uh, we're going to have boxing on board

Saturday night. Would you like that?

- I'd love it.

- Splendid.

- Well, how do you like us?

- You're wonderful.

Oh, by the way, Austin, Wilson,

Robbins and uh... oh, yes, Vance,

they wanted me to say good night

and they had a wonderful time.

- Duty first, Father.

- Mm, yes, yes. Undoubtedly.

Splendid, just splendid.

- Will you pardon us?

- Yes, of course.

- Shall we dance?

- Aren't you going to the Seven Sinners?

- Here she comes!

- Bijou!

See those shoulders broad and glorious

See that smile, that smile's notorious

You can bet your life

the man's in the Navy

See those nice blue trousers walk about

That's that salty walk they talk about

Mister, watch your wife

The man's in the Navy

Now, lots of men stand six foot seven

And lots of men have arms like heaven

And lots of men have hair

all golden and wavy

But when 10,000 gorgeous women'll

Chase him like some hunted criminal

You can bet your life the man's in the Navy

See those shoulders broad and glorious

See that smile, that smile's notorious

You can bet your life

the man's in the Navy...

Well, it's a fine thing. Officers

and gentlemen, by act of Congress.

Where were your manners?

Wouldn't have taken any skin off

to stand by for another half-hour.

You left me hanging out on a limb.

Who do you?

Would the lieutenant like

to say it from up here?

See those shoulders broad and glorious

See that smile, that smile's notorious

You can bet your life the man's in the Navy

See those nice blue trousers walk about

That's that salty walk they talk about

Mister, watch your wife

The man's in the Navy

Now, lots of men just can't remember

That big romance from last November

And leave the lady

cold as yesterday's gravy

But when he says, "I love you, Bessie"

To some poor kid whose name is Jessie

You can bet your life

the man's in the Navy

- Bijou.

- Yes, Tony.

- The first night and you're starting already.

- Yes, isn't it wonderful?

- Just like old times.

- Tomorrow morning, there is a boat sailing.

And you're going to be on it! Shh!

Just like old times!

Oh, Tony, don't let's quarrel tonight,

it's too marvellous.

You insulted not only the Navy

but one of the executive officers.

- All right. I'll apologise.

- You're not doing anything of the kind.

You're going up to your dressing room

and you're going to be very quiet.

I promise to be on my best behaviour.

I'm going to apologise.

No, you're not. No, Bijou, please!

I...

- Are you looking for me?

- No, I was going...

Come on, sit down.

Have a drink. This is your table.

Sorry, I'm joining the Navy.

You don't want to make a scene here,

do you?

No, I don't want to make a scene.

Not for anything in the world.

Oh.

Bijou!

As you were, as you were.

That tall lieutenant didn't think

I was so wonderful.

- His face is a little red...

- He won't be up for air for a month!

- What's your ship, sailor?

- The good ship Seven Sinners.

- Bijou, did anybody ever tell you?

- What?

- I'm sure they have.

- You gotta watch him, Bijou.

- Bijou?

- What is it?

Uh...

Antro is sitting there at the table,

he wants to spend money.

You remember me, I work for a living.

And anyway, I'm in the Navy.

Maestro, give.

- All together, sing.

- We sing?

See those shoulders broad and glorious

See that smile, that smile's notorious

You can bet your life

the man's in the Navy

See those nice blue trousers walk about

That's that salty walk they talk about

Better watch your wife

the man's in the Navy...

Gangway!

Boy, oh, boy, I'm sure happy.

- We're sure a sensation in this place.

- What do you mean "we"?

- Take it back.

- Yes, ma'am.

- What do you see in that guy?

- Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

In my great joy, do I know what I'm doing?

Beat it, boys. See you at the caf.

Good morning, Missy Bijou. Good morning.

OK, Charlie, give me the routine over here.

- Missy Bijou, like a little potty?

- Yes, I could use two or three.

Oh, excuse me.

Good morning, Miss Henderson.

Can I do something for you this morning?

- Go ahead, I can wait.

- Take care of the lady, Charlie.

And keep shirty on.

May I say good morning, Lieutenant?

Oh... May you say good morning!

- I've been looking all over town...

- Yes, it's such a big place, isn't it?

- But I still sing at the Seven Sinners.

- I haven't been in since...

I know, I insulted you. Tony told me.

He gave me a week to make things straight.

I've only two days more.

- Tony's wacky. I'll square him.

- Do you really mean that?

Mean it?

Look deep into my honest blue eyes.

No, grey. My honest grey eyes.

Can you doubt me?

Missy Henderson, thank you very much.

Thanks an awful lot, Lieutenant.

Homeside. Chop chop.

Missy Bijou, like to buy little potty?

Missy Bijou gotty litty potty.

Haven't you got nothing better to do

than stand here in the corner?

Oh. I was reading. I like to read sometimes,

it improves the mind.

Don't break your arm, fella.

Are you in the Navy?

I was once

but I missed my ship at Singapore.

That's tough going. Hello, Tony.

Lieutenant, ah, you come back.

I'm so glad you're mad at me.

I mean, I'm so mad, I'm mad at you.

I'm glad you're mad... I'm...

- You know what I'm saying.

- Don't tell me, let me guess.

Come on. Let's have a drink.

- Did I tell her?

- Gangway, gangway!

Did I bawl her up?

Well, you shouldn't have.

It was entirely my fault.

I know. Sure, Bijou is only a little bitty baby.

A baby?

Does he laugh by the hour,

or is it piecework?

You had a good laugh the other night too,

didn't you?

- Don't you like it?

- Don't you go making no passes

at a uniform of the United States Navy.

I wouldn't for the world have anything

happen to that beautiful uniform.

Don't you forget it. I'm the bouncer here.

Will you go over there and bounce yourself?

See you later, Lieutenant.

He thinks he's a rubber ball.

Greetings, greetings and greetings.

- Hi, Dan.

- These amateurs giving you a show?

- Amateurs?

- How do you like that?

- I saw Tony.

- Oh, thank you.

Bijou. Bijou, he thinks he's good.

Does anyone think I'm not?

- Bijou can take you.

- Sure.

Oh, gentlemen, huh? Letting her win.

- Two bucks says you'll be a gentleman too.

- Two bucks says I'm not.

- Call it for the break.

- Heads.

Will you give me six bits against

a half-dollar you're not a gent?

It's a bet. Your break.

Laughing boy is here again.

If I bet you are no gentleman,

I'm on your side. No?

No.

15 points.

- All right.
