Seven Sinners Page #4

- Two to one - for any amount.

- I don't want to take your money.

- You won't get any.

Bijou and I are a tough team to beat.

Shanghai, Bali, Sumatra.

We were never a team - Shanghai,

Bali, Sumatra or any other place.

- About this game or anything else.

- The blushing, sweet-scented flower.

Is that a package you're selling?

Look, Pollyanna...

- You'll excuse us?

- Take your time.

After you.

With pleasure.

You know, you're old enough, there's

some things you ought to be told. Uh...

Uh, I don't think that climate in there

agrees with you.

As a matter of fact, I've been worried

about your health altogether lately.

You don't look well.

It's just a little dizzy spell.

Every time I look at you,

I see eight or nine of you.

- I'll be all right when I can only see one.

- That can be arranged too.

Careful of the uniform, Lieutenant.

- Aw. Won't anybody give you a light?

- Our hero!

We were mighty worried about you,

Lieutenant.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Go ahead.

I usually do my own fighting

but thanks anyway.

Got a penny?

Sure.

It's uh... an English penny, but...

but it brought me a lot of luck.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

You've heard songs and singers too

But there's nothing really new

In the way these singers sing today

Now I've a song that cannot miss

But you must remember this

To sing this song, you must be ooey-scray

You've heard folks go boo-boo-be-do,

boo-boo-be-dooby-do, boo-boo-be-do

But you ain't heard folks go

dig-a-dag-a-phut

Dig-a-phut-phut, dig-a-dag-a-phut

And you've heard folks go vo-do-ee-oh,

vo-do-ee-oh-de-oh, vo-do-ee-oh

But you ain't heard folks go

dig-a-dag-a-phut

Dig-a-phut-phut, dig-a-dag-a-phut

Now, to sing this song,

you must be gifted...

Just a minute.

And when you get

your tongue all twisted, just go

Dig-a-dag-a-phut-phut...

Come in.

- Oh, hello.

- Oh, hello.

Uh... I went hiking today and...

These are wild flowers.

- I see.

- For you. I uh...

You got me picking wild orchids.

That's a new low.

- Have you never done it before?

- No, never.

When I saw these

and they made me think of you or...

Or rather, I was thinking of you.

Thinking of what?

- Is there something I could do with?

- Yes, I'll take them.

Now, where were we?

- You were thinking.

- Oh, yes.

What were you thinking of?

Well, if you keep looking at me like that,

I'm liable to tell you.

What?

Oh, that admiral's coat. Where did you?

Can't you do something about it?

- What's that?

- Oh, that?

Uh, nothing.

Uh... look, if I get you something else,

will you wear it?

Yes.

Come in.

Hel...

Oh, hello.

I uh... was just on my way to the ship.

The short cut through my dressing room.

I uh... went hiking today.

Oh, you did?

Don't tell me, you were picking wild flowers?

Yes.

- Not uh... orchids?

- Yes.

- What was that?

- Oh, the blackout.

Oh.

- You look handsome, Judson.

- Gosh, it's dark.

The blackout's a success.

Heaven help a working girl

on a night like this.

That admiral's coat fooled me for a minute.

Now, don't be frightened, darling,

it's not Brent. Don't be nervous, I'm here.

I won't.

I hope you girls don't think I'm intruding?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

The lights went out all over town.

- Well, it's a blackout.

- They ought to notify people about...

Find Sasha and bring him here now.

- I'm sorry, boys, this is serious.

- Well, go on.

Gangway! Gangway!

Oh.

Come on. Take it easy. What's the matter?

- Hand it over.

- Don't know what you mean.

- I do. You got a basket?

- A basket? What are you doing? Wait!

That ain't fair. Oh!

Honestly, I don't know how it happened.

I was working away...

For once I'm going to make

you laugh at each other.

I will make horrible examples

of careless people.

Anyhow, if you have to lose things,

why don't you lose something I would like?

- Ensign James Scott.

- Hey.

Stand up.

Is this your pocketbook?

Gangway!

- Why, yes.

- How much money is there in it?

- Only seven dollars.

- The family wealth. That's very careless.

Now, this I would know anywhere.

Mr Antro.

Next time there's a blackout,

you'd better get under the table.

I'm surprised, such a smart man.

Now, who's this?

Edward Patrick Finnegan.

Edward Patrick Finnegan,

speak up, come on!

- But it's you.

- Edward Pa...

Oh.

Now, let's see.

Who here knows Helen in Singapore?

Myrtle in Manila, Honore in Borneo.

Oh, it's you.

Yeah.

Kid Romeo.

Agnes in Tokyo and Mabel in Hong Kong.

A ladykiller!

And Becky in Barcelona.

And Ruth in Trinidad.

Ruth? Why, you!

Lightfingers, you're getting your

very last warning. I told you I like it here.

It ain't the junk I want.

The lights out. One, two, three, the lights on

and nobody knows what happened.

- I ain't no thief, I'm an artiste.

- Ned.

His lights will go out

and they won't come on quick.

He has my permission. Now, good night.

- I might resign.

- You heard the lady. Good night!

Hello.

I uh... was just hanging around

to say good night.

- Good night.

- I haven't said it yet.

- What?

- Good night.

Oh...

Well? Good night.

No. Not yet.

Oh, I must. Because at this time

of the night, I have no sense.

Is that a fact?

What?

No sense, this time of night?

No sense at all.

Look me in the eye and swear to that.

I swear.

Tony is here, sir.

- Oh. Come in, Tony. Come in.

- Thank you...

- Sit down, Tony.

- Yes, I...

I'm not tired. I...

Tony, there's something

I want you to do for me.

If I can do it.

Bijou is on the list of entertainers

on board ship for the officers' party.

- Yes. Lieutenant Brent, he's the one...

- I'm not asking how it happened.

I don't want to make

official business of this thing.

- She's very popular. The boys like her.

- Yes, she's all right.

But uh... there are some reasons why

it might be as well if she didn't appear.

Can't you take care of this thing

and leave me out of it?

Well, when Bijou makes up her mind,

you know, it's very hard to change it.

- You're her boss, aren't you?

- Yes, I'm her boss...

Yes, I'm her boss. Don't worry, I'll fix it.

Well, I'm very grateful, Tony.

It's a little bit awkward.

You don't have to worry about awkward

because when I tell Bijou who is the boss,

she knows that I'm the boss and I'm going...

Yes, she could be a little awkward.

Well, try to make her understand, Tony,

that the Navy has enough destroyers.

Yes, I...

What's your hurry?

Did I tell you to hurry?

I want to register a complaint.

I think you are making a mistake,

devoting so much time to the Navy.

I see what you mean.

Supposing I were to tell you I'm in love?

It would be a pity.

I'd have to get rid of that gentleman.

Never mind.

Run along and have a good time.

- Don't let me spoil your fun.

- Chop chop.

Au revoir.

Chop chop.

- Admiral! Tell fortune!

- Not today.

Tell fortune, Admiral! Tell fortune!

Wait a minute. Listen, listen, listen.

Admiral!

Your fortune, sailor?

I got my fortune.

Got it for a penny, remember?
