The Captain's Paradise Page #4

---

IT TAKES HIM ABOU TEN MINUTES TO COME TO.

EXACTLY THE SAME WITH ME.

EVERY TIME THEY CALL ME

FOR THE WATCH, I CAN'T--

HUSBAND ?

OH, I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T INTRODUCE MYSELF.

I'M MRS. ST. JAMES.

WHAT'S THE MATTER ?

DIDN'T YOU KNOW

THE CAPTAIN HAD A WIFE ?

- OF COURSE YOU KNEW

I HAD A WIFE, RICCO.

- OF COURSE. YEAH.

[ Giggling ]

I KNOW. I BELIEVE,

WHEN I LET YOU IN,

YOU THOUGHT I WAS THE COOK.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I DO ALL THE CAPTAIN'S COOKING.

HE LIKES HOME COOKING,

DON'T YOU, HENRY ?

A NICE SIMPLE MEAL

AND EARLY TO BED.

THAT'S HIS IDEA OF BLISS.

UH, BLISS, YEAH.

NOW, I WANT TO HEAR

ALL ABOUT KALIK. I'VE ALWAYS

WANTED TO GO THERE.

- KALIK ?

- WELL, WHAT ABOUT IT ?

I'VE ONLY SEEN

THE SHIPPING OFFICE

AND THE DOCKS.

- UH, IT'S VERY NOISY,

FULL OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW.

- OH, YES.

FULL OF DIVES:

AND NIGHT HALLS, I SUPPOSE ?

YES.

THE CAPTAIN WOULDN' LIKE THAT AT ALL.

NO.

- NO. HE ALWAYS LIKE

TO BE IN BED BY 10:00.

- 10:
00 ?

- 10:
00.

- REALLY ?

WITH HIS CUP OF HOT COCOA.

COCOA ?

- COCOA.

- I HOPE YOU SEE HE HAS I WHEN HE'S AWAY.

WELL, I DON'T DO IT MYSELF.

BUT I'M SURE SOMEBODY

ELSE DOES.

OH, GOOD. GOOD.

HURRY UP, HENRY,

OR THE MAJOR WILL BE BACK.

HELLO, WHAT'S THIS ?

OH, I HOPE YOUR MOTHER

HAD A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAPTAIN.

MOTHER ?

YES. THE CAPTAIN BUY A PRESEN FOR HIS MOTHER. I BRING.

HENRY, YOUR MOTHER'S

BEEN DEAD 12 YEARS.

[ Chuckles ]

UM...

SORT OF A JOKE, DEAR.

OH. DO YOU MEAN

IT'S FOR ME ?

OH, HOW KIND OF YOU.

I KNOW, DISH CLOTHS ?

NOT EXACTLY.

MATERIAL FOR THE LAMP SHADE.

HE ALWAYS GIVES ME

SOMETHING FOR THE HOUSE.

HENRY.

A BIKINI !

OH, WONDERFUL !

IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED !

EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL ?

WHAT ON EARTH'S THAT ?

IT'S A BATHING DRESS.

HENRY'S JUST GIVEN IT TO ME.

- I DON'T THINK GOVERNMENT HOUSE

WOULD QUITE APPROVE OF THAT.

- NO. I DARESAY NOT.

LOOKS MORE SUITABLE

FOR KALIK.

[ Horn Blowing ]

WHEN I ARRIVED AT THIS

UNANSWERABLE CONCLUSION,

I KNEW I WAS:

IN SIGHT OF MY GOAL.

TWO WOMEN,

EACH WITH HALF THE QUALITIES

NECESSARY FOR A MAN,

AND THEREFORE,

QUITE EASY TO FIND.

AND ONCE FOUND,

NEVER TO MEET.

ONE DAY, AFTER YEARS

OF THOUGHT AND SEARCH,

I FOUND MYSELF IN GIBRALTAR,

ON THE TOP OF THE ROCK.

I LOOKED ACROSS THE STRAITS

TO NORTH AFRICA.

I LOOKED DOWN AGAIN

AT THE DOCKS OF GIBRALTAR.

THEGOLDEN FLEECEFOR SALE.

[ Chuckles ]

I CAN STILL CAPTURE

THE SUDDEN EXHILARATION

THAT SWEPT THROUGH ME.

I FELT MY HEART BEATING WILDLY.

I LITERALLY CRIED WITH JOY

AND RELIEF.

MY LAST PROBLEM WAS SOLVED.

CAPTAIN,

YOU'RE A GENIUS.

I WAS AT THE GATES OF PARADISE.

I WENT THROUGH,

AND NOW IT IS MINE.

IN GIBRALTAR,

MRS. ST. JAMES.

A WOMAN OF RARE QUALITIES.

A MATE TO SATISFY

ALL THE HOME-LOVING

ELEMENTS IN ME.

[ Henry ]

INDUSTRIOUS, DOMESTICATED.

BUSY WITH THE HUNDRED AND ONE

ACTIVITIES OF THE DAILY ROUND.

A WOMAN WHOSE THOUGHTS

ARE CENTERED ON THE JOYS

OF HEARTH AND HOME.

IN THE WORDS OF THE POET--

"SOBER, STEADFAST AND DEMURE."

BUT IT IS ABSURD TO IMAGINE

THAT THE SAME WOMAN WHO

COMES HOME WITH THE GROCERIES...

CAN ALSO COME HOME

WITH THE MILK.

SO IN KALIK--

MADAME ST. JAMES.

A CHILD OF NATURE,

THE EPITOME OF THE JUNGLE,

THE MATE THAT THE TIGER IN ME,

IN EVERY MAN, IS SEEKING.

PLEASURE-LOVING,

CAREFREE,

DELIGHTING IN:

THE ADORNMENT OF HER BODY,

OCCUPIED IN MAKING

HER ATTRACTIONS:

EVEN MORE ATTRACTIVE.

THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES.

GRACEFUL AS A PANTHER,

LIGHT OF FOOT AS A GAZELLE.

A HAPPY WOMAN, AND WHY ?

BECAUSE ALL HER THOUGHTS ARE,

AS THE POET SAYS,

"A WONDER AND A WILD DESIRE,

THE DEVOTED PRIESTESS

OF LOVE, LIFE AND LAUGHTER."

THAT, RICCO, IS MY SOLUTION

FOR MAN'S HAPPINESS ON EARTH.

TWO HAPPY WOMEN,

EACH IN THEIR WAY PERFECT,

AND IN BETWEEN,

THE COMPANY OF MEN,

THE CLASH OF INTELLECTS

TO STIMULATE THE MIND.

CAPTAIN, A GENIUS.

THANK YOU, RICCO.

I'LL TELL EVERYBODY.

YOU'LL DO NO SUCH THING.

BUT ALL MEN SHOULD KNOW

OF THIS WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

SOONER OR LATER.

BUT UNTIL YOU:

HAVE MY PERMISSION,

OR UNTIL I'M NO LONGER WITH YOU,

YOU'LL TELL NO ONE.

BUT--

THAT'S AN ORDER, RICCO.

YES, CAPTAIN.

CAPTAIN, PLEASE.

YOU GET ME A PASSPOR FOR GIBRALTAR ?

WE'LL SEE, RICCO.

WE'LL SEE.

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Speaking Spanish ]

YES.

ALONG IN A MINUTE.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET HIM.
