That Night in Rio Page #5

---

- You are Senhorita Carmen from the casino?

- Yes, Baronesa.

L- I invited her

to come here and sing.

Oh, splendid.

But don't forget, Manuel.

We have the next dance together.

Oh, how could I forget it, Cecilia?

Oh, of course.

Of course, yes.

Well, come along then.

Look. When you dance

with her, dance like this.

And no like this.

Understand?

- Nothing could be clearer.

- Yeah.

Baron, uh, may we have a talk now?

Right after this dance.

I think she's beginning to enjoy it.

He's certainly holding her close.

Mm-hmm. It is hard to tell

where he leaves off and she begins.

Why, Manuel.

- I, yi, yi

- I, yi, yi

- I, yi, yi

- I, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

I, yi, yi, yi, yi

I like you very much

I, yi, yi, yi, yi

I think you're grand

Why, why, why is it that

when I feel your touch

My heart starts to beat

to beat the band

I, yi, yi, yi, yi

I like you to hold me tight

You are too, too

too, too, too divine

If you want to be

in someone's arms tonight

Just be sure the arms

you're in are mine

Oh, I like your lips

and I like your eyes

You do like my hips

to "hips-notize" you, whee

See, see, see, see, see, see

See the moon above

Way, way, way

way up in the blue

Sim, sim, sim, senhor

I think I fall in love

And when I fall

I think I fall for you

I, yi, yi, yi

Sim, sim, sim, sim

I, yi, yi, yi

Then sim, sim, sim

- That's you for me

- I, yi, yi, yi yi, yi, yi

- Yi, yi, yi, yi

- I like you very much

- I, yi, yi, yi

- I think you're grand

Why, why, why is it that

when I feel your touch

My heart starts to beat

to beat the band

I, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

I, yi, yi, like you

to hold me tight

You are too, too

too, too, too divine

And if you want to be

in someone's arms tonight

Just be sure the arms

you're in are mine

Oh, I like your lips and I like your eyes

You do like my hips

to "hips-notize" you, whee

See, see, see, see, see, see

See the moon above

Way, way, way

way up in the blue

Sim, sim, sim, senhor

I think I fall in love

And when I fall

I think I fall for you

- I, yi, yi, yi

- I, yi

- Sim, sim, sim, sim

- Sim, sim

I, yi, yi, yi

Then sim, sim, sim

- Sim, sim, sim, sim

- That's you for me

- Everything is going fine?

- Sure.

- Better than I expected.

- Mm-hmm.

Ah.

- Good evening, Arthur.

- Good evening.

I tell you, nobody suspects.

He's amazing.

If we hadn't told Cecilia,

she wouldn't have known.

I dare say.

Cecilia has been splendid about it.

Yes, I see.

She's giving full cooperation.

- You are not jealous?

- Oh, of course not, my dear Arthur.

Well, if what you say is true,

I think we're out of danger... financially.

- You got the loan?

- Practically. I will know definitely in the morning.

Shee!

What a relief.

I've been worried to death.

I hope your worries are over

on this score.

The loan comes through

in the morning...

and then that pest Machado can cross-examine

the whole town if he wants to.

Yes. But if he should see

two barons here tonight...

he will start

this cross-examination at once.

We've got to get rid

of Senhor Martin right away.

Leave it to Salles.

He will settle that.

Get out.

The baron is back.

- Excuse me, please?

- Okay.

Hello, Baron.

Shee!

I had to duck in here, but don't worry.

I'll make it this time.

- Get out. Get out.

- Wait a minute. Let me see if the coast is clear.

Ah! There you are, my dear Machado.

I hope you are enjoying

the party, huh?

Let me in.

- Let me in.

- Uh...

As you have probably

gathered by now, Baron...

I should like

to talk to you... alone.

Certainly, Machado.

Certainly.

Are you sure we cannot

be overheard here?

Well, uh...

No... No one can be sure.

On... On the contrary,

with people running in and out of here...

perhaps I'd better see you

tomorrow in my office, say, at 2:00.

No, no. Impossible.

It must be settled tonight.

And inasmuch as it involves

a discussion of your airline holdings...

- it is imperative no one should

hear what I have to say to you.

- What was that?

- Uh, what-what...

- What was what, Machado?

- L... I thought I heard a small pop.

Oh, nonsense. There could not be

any popping here, huh?

All right.

Let's get down to business.

- Perhaps we'd better have a little brandy first.

- Thank you.

Here.

Here you are, Machado.

Baron.

I know my eyes are bad, but

I would swear I saw that screen move.

No, no, no, no.

No, no. That...

That black panther was painted

so that it seems to be moving forward, eh?

I guess maybe it is my eyes.

I'm sorry, Baron.

Excuse me, Baron. To your health.

Mmm, to yours, Machado.

As time is so valuable,

I will come directly to the point.

I have been watching with keen interest

your handling of your airline.

I know you have made

large investments...

for the modernization

of airports, planes and so forth.

- Whoo-whoo!

- Whoo!

- No-Now, what was that?

- Whoo! Oh! Oh!

- That brandy is strong, hmm?

- No. It came from over there.

- There is someone behind that screen.

- No. N-No, no!

L... I said it. I said...

Uh... Uh, there.

There, you see?

Oh. Well, I am

terribly sorry, Baron...

but I... I don't seem

to be myself tonight.

- Ah.

- Well, let us continue.

Yes.

L... I cannot understand it.

L... I did not think

my ears were bad too.

Well, as I was saying, Baron,

I am thoroughly familiar...

with every detail of your investment

in your airline.

You can be sure I did not acquaint

myself with these facts...

- simply to... to pass away the time.

- Of course. Of course.

Now, although your

considerable expenditures...

will undoubtedly improve

the air transportation...

I nevertheless feel that... Uh.

There was someone listening!

Don't worry. The baron knows

how to handle him.

Yes. But the question is,

does Martin know how to handle him?

Shee!

Baron, is-is this house haunted?

Come to think of it,

there was a story about...

No, never mind. Please.

As a precaution against ghosts...

I think maybe we'd better continue

this conversation in French.

Oh. B-But my French is very bad.

Oh, nonsense.

Your French is as good as mine.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Uh, oui, oui.

Uh-uh.

Mmm, mmm-mmm?

Mmm?

Uh, oui, oui. Oui.

Mmm.

Oh, oui, oui.

- Good night, Baron.

- Good night, Machado.

3:
00 tomorrow, Baron.

And then he gave her a necklace

and charged it to you.

A very enterprising fellow.

Pierre. You are leaving so early?

- And why not?

- You seem to be annoyed.

- You're a fine one to ask.

- I?

Precisely. For years, you and Cecilia

have scarcely looked at each other.

But tonight, in front of my very eyes...

as if to taunt me...

you all but fell

into each other's arms.

Oh. Did we?

I saw you.

I watched you every moment.

Her voice was soft and alluring...

her smiles enticing,

her lips inviting.

For me?

No! For you!

And you presume to ask me

why I am leaving.

Good night.

He's jealous.

Mmm, and apparently

with good cause. Poor fellow.

If you ask me,

he hasn't got a chance.
