You with your

Revolutions...

Lisbeth.

You're making it

Mighty tough.

I expected you to say,

"good-bye. Good luck."

You didn't really,

Did you?

Because I can't.

I simply can't.

I love you too much.

Well, what would you suggest

That I do about it, lisbeth?

Nothing.

Don't I mean any more to you than any

Other girl that you'd take away like this?

I've played it

Fair, sweetheart.

You said that you knew

What you were doing.

I know. I know.

I didn't mean to go

To pieces like this,

But I can't help it.

When I think of you going through that

Door and never coming back again...

Oh, take me with you.

I'll do anything!

I won't be any trouble.

I'll go anywhere.

To the ends of the earth.

But don't leave me.

Seqor. Seqor.

Seqor.

Si, si, si, si.

!Si, si!

This seems to have been a

Very bad mistake, lisbeth.

Oh, no.

Nothing of the kind.

Why, you've been

Fair and square.

No mistakes

And no regrets.

Good-bye and good luck.

That's fine.

Salud, caballeros.

Boys, the best

Toast gets a kiss.

I'll take

Her eyes.

I'll take

Her lips.

I'll take anything

I can get.

He won. That's the best one yet.

It's my turn, boys.

Because I'm not interested

In that sort of thing.

Charmed.

You shouldn't say

Such daring things.

Besides, aren't you afraid

Of being late for school?

Ahh.

You like them dry behind

The ears, don't you?

Yes, but not

Above the ears.

Oh, I say!

Bien, monsieur.

Hello. What luck?

Hello.

Rotten.

Uh-huh.

That was about

6 months ago.

She's forgotten me.

Say, there's

A gal up there

That seems to be getting

Plenty of attention. Plenty.

That lassie?

Rather!

Do you know her?

Yes, but not as well as

Some of my friends, though.

What say?

Oh, anything

That's fun, sure.

She changes her men with

Her leisure, that girl.

Ha ha-

Why, steve!

Oh, of all things.

Of all things

Right back at you.

How are you?

Maybe it was her first gold step.

Don't mind

The great lovers.

Ha ha!

Run along.

School's out.

Let's try our

Luck. It should be good.

That's that.

Gee whiz, lisbeth.

Talk about shocks.

Oh,

But what a relief.

Now you don't have to

Pack me in mothballs.

Oh, darling.

Because I've seen

Life murmur

And heard it

Glisten.

I'm no longer

The good woman

In your life,

Stevie.

There are

No good women.

Sorry to hear you

Say that.

Do you know I've followed

You from london to berlin,

From berlin

To monte carlo-

And here I am!

So get your little

Surprise dance

All calmed down.

Let's celebrate.

Righto. Let's.

Tell me now, do I look two years older?

You should, but you've

Escaped somehow.

The marks

Are on my soles.

Gee, it's grand to

See you again, stevie.

I'm on a house party.

I'll get you invited.

Ooh, a house party.

Yes. My host went to

A bullfight. I gambled.

Oh.

Shamed again. Too much

Scotch last night.

Mm-mmm.

Champagne cocktail.

A pint of champagne and a

Pint of ale. Juggle them.

Ok.

Ooh, a polyglot.

No, sir.

Waterbury, connecticut.

Ha ha ha!

Aren't you ever going

To come back to america?

What for?

Answer a lot

Of questions?

It's over a year.

All will be forgiven.

But not forgotten.

Ain't you had

Plenty?

Oh, tomorrow's

Always promising.

And always a bust.

The boy

Is a philosopher.

On the level, what do

You think you're doing?

Having a good time.

Are you?

Is anybody?

I am,

At this moment.

Aren't you sweet?

You look awful

Good to me.

Ha ha! It's simply

Gorgeous, stevie,

You bobbing up like

This. Really thrilling.

Oh, you're lying,

But I like it.

I never gave you

A thrill in your life.

I'm not lying.

I try to find

One kick

For every 24 hours.

You saved the day.

Well, that's something.

Happy days.

Here's mud

In your eye.

Ooh, what I heard

About you in paris.

Ooh.

And of course,

Like a true knight,

You refuse

To believe it.

Well, the first

600 or 700 times, I did.

What have they

Done to you, buddy?

Who wants to know?

Oh, come on, now.

Come clean.

It's your old pal.

Ha ha. Don't worry

About me.

You see, I had

A little bluebird

But no cage.

Bluebird got away.

Just a little gal

Who lost a bluebird.

Mmm, here comes

My host.

Your what? Oh, I

Wanted to see you alone.

Oh, what you

Have missed.

What an afternoon

You have missed.

There were 6 bulls,

Each one...

Each one

The most vicious.

And you wouldn't come.

Tame, unexciting roulette

You like better

Than bullfighting?

6 bull. Scarlito

Dispatches 3.

Himself nearly killed.

How thrilling.

It's too bad.

Too bad.

Sounds like

A lot of bull, eh, steve?

Oh, yeah.

You said it.

Oh, count, this is an old

Friend of mine from america.

We used to go

To school together.

But no!

Oh, but yes.

Oh, it's a pleasure,

Seqor. Very great.

Steve, this is count verilles

Casta banales de bazan.

Well, well.

Ah, perhaps he

Would be at freedom

To join us at my villa

This evening?

Is he the fire-rapid

Big, efficient businessman

From america, huh?

Oh, yes.

All of those things.

Ah, shall we relax him?

Uh, yes. He's usually

Quite tight.

Oh, very good.

Shall we go and see

The wheel go around?

Well, I won't play anymore,

But I'll watch you.

Uh, how many bulls

Did you say, count?

6. 6 bulls.

Marvelous.

And there are still

Plenty left?

Oh, yes, plenty. Always

Still plenty bulls.

Count, you make

My heart so glad.

This dance

Is to educate you-

How you should

Arouse a man.

Ha ha.

A man shouldn't

Need it.

Oh. Yeah.

Oh, yes. Mmm.

This is

The great scarlito,

The great matador.

Ah! He's

Quite wonderful.

Oh, gracias,

Seqorita.

Steve, this is the man

That kills the bulls.

He kills me.

Say, uh,

What do you do?

I never saw

A bullfight.

Oh. You will be

The bull,

And he

Show you how.

Eh, scarlito?

Si.

No.

You come fight.

Lisbeth, help!

Help, lisbeth.

Help.

Go on, steve.

No, I'm going home.

Oh,

Don't be silly. Go on.

He doesn't know

He's dead.

He has my sword

In his back.

Muy bien, scarlito.

Muy bien.

He doesn't know he has

My sword in his back!

Ha ha ha!

He's dead!

Oh, for pete's sake,

Let's get out of here.

I can't stand

Any more of this.

Why? Don't you like

Playing with the bull?

Oh, it isn't that. It's

You. This isn't good enough.

Wait till I pull the

Sword out of your back!

Oh, now wait a minute,

Will you? I'm serious.

There? You feel

Better now?

You're not down here

As any houseguest.

You're not fooling me.

I'm in an orgy,

Wallowing, and I love it.

Yeah, well, I'm going

To take you out of here

And put you

On your feet.

But I like standing on

My head. Want to see me?

Oh, now, be serious.

If you think you can

Pull this sort of thing

And get away with it,

You're crazy.

Pull yourself together.

You and I are going to

Get out of here right now.

Oh, look here, steve.

What's the matter with you?

You've been out

For fun all your life.

All you men are.

I found that out.

The sweet, grand things

That a girl dreams about

Don't interest men

At all.

They're just
