Did he say he was going away?

Yup. Gotta get away

from it all.

Then, you've got to

go to him right now!

And explain that I didn't mean it!

Tell him how it was and everything!

Listen -

No, go on. You go right now

before it's too late!

But Nikki -!

You go right straight to Cary.

Now, listen, Cary, you don't have to

behave like an old Easter egg.

You're breaking Nikki's heart.

She doesn't know any better.

She doesn't know any better?

Well, whether she does or not,

I'm going a long ways away from Nikki.

Nikki and her turtles.

Whew! You sure are in an uproar.

What YOU need is a drink!

I need more than a drink.

I need a lot of geography

between me and that girl.

Where do you want to go?

Anywheres. So long as it's a long

way from Nikki.

You know -

that girl does things to me.

I've got to get away.

Well, I wonder what's happening

in Portugal tonight.

Say...

I wonder what IS happening

in Portugal tonight.

Heave ho!

Ah! There you go.

If Cary's going to Portugal,

why can't we go to Portugal, too?

Ain't we got

any rights?

Sure we got rights!

Cary better not think he can screw up

in Portugal and leave old Shep behind.

Say, when's he leaving?

Ten-thirty in the morning.

Sud Express.

Don't we have to have

passports and things?

Sure we gotta have passports!

What kind passports you like?

- What kind passports you got?

We have ebony, cocoanut,

thornberry passports.

I'll take vanilla.

Good night, Nikki.

I'll see you on

the train.

You're goin', too?

Why not?

I might, uh, pick up a couple

of features for my paper -

in Portugal.

Nikki, do you want -?

- Did you put all my shoes in?

You bet.

There they are.

I don't know how you're going to get

all these dresses in, Nikki

Don't we have to go

like anything?

The train leaves

in twenty minutes.

Are you SURE you have everything?

I - I think so.

Hardly seems enough.

Oh, my turtles! My turtles!

Here you are, Francis!

You're the custodian of the turtles!

Now don't fall down on the job.

Hey! I never tended turtles before.

Now, all you have to do -

is to sprinkle 'em now and then,

like this.

Oh, yeah. I see.

Well, we're off

Be careful of that one.

Come on, Francis!

Take those turtles!

There she is, boys!

The Sud Express!

Can you imagine Cary tryin' to

run away and leave us behind?

Do you suppose he's

really gonna be here?

Sure he'll be here. He's never

missed a train in his life.

Say, do you suppose the turtles'll

be all right with that porter?

Aw, sure they'll be all right.

All you got to do is -

sprinkle 'em!

There he is!

Say, Cary!

Hello, Cary.

Well, hello.

What are you all doing

down here?

We just came down

to see you off is all.

Well, that's darn decent of you.

Ya got a nice seat?

Yeah, right by a window.

Oh, how nice for you!

Come on! Show us your seat

by the window!

Yeah, come on, Cary! We wanna SEE

that seat by the window.

Come on, Nikki.

My, my, what a swell train.

Sud Express, Train de Luxe.

Say, I wonder if a chap can get

a drink on this train.

Sure! I don't see why not.

Push the button.

Well, I'm afraid you won't

have time for a drink.

We're gonna start in a minute.

You'll have to get off.

Get off?! Gosh, no.

We LIKE this train!

This is a Train de Luxe.

Yes, we like trains de luxe,

don't we, Nikki?

Sure! Trains de luxe

is what we like.

Hey! He's blowing the whistle.

Hey, we're gonna start.

Well, let her start.

Let 'er go Gallagher. Who cares?!

Who cares?!

Who cares?!

- Who cares?!

Hello, everybody.

And you, too?

That's right.

That's right. Who cares?

Goodbye! Goodbye!

Don't forget to write!

Hi, men! Look what I found.

Hooray!

Come in.

- Sit down.

Have a drink.

- Ah, thank you, no, not I.

I - I say, are you all going to

Portugal?

Yup. We're going down there to

investigate conditions.

Investigate conditions?

Drinking conditions, mostly.

By the way, what ARE conditions?

Don't you know what conditions are?

No. Never saw one in my life.

The drinking conditions are

pretty bad right here.

Ahh, indeed.

My beer's full of cinders.

Good for ya.

Make ya lay hard-shelled eggs.

Nikki? The man says your

compartment's ready.

I'm glad - on account of

it's been so hot and I'm so tired

and I want to go to bed.

Going to bed?

Who ever heard of such a thing?

Can we help you undress?

No, thank you, William.

Take off your shoes?

- Undo your hair?

Scrub your back or something?

No, I can manage

quite well by myself.

Good night, everybody.

Good night, Nikki.

Can you imagine

that ungrateful old trollop?

She wouldn't let them

help her undress.

Can't understand it at all.

You know, she's not very pretty.

But when she was a little girl,

her mother always said

she had the nicest hair-ribbons.

Indeed?

She got one tooth turned around,

she can't see very far,

and she's ALWAYS speaking

out of turn.

Otherwise, she's a mighty fine

piece of architecture.

Seems to need a few repairs.

She's got eyes like an Assyrian

Queen's got eyes.

You ain't never seen no

Assyrian Queen!

You're just a-makin' that up

outta yore own head!

I did SO see

an Assyrian Queen.

In whose green hat?

In the Metropolitan Museum's green

hat, that's whose green hat.

Hold on there!

Where you goin'?

You're not going anywhere.

You're on a train.

Sorry.

You go back to your turtles, hear?

You've been neglecting

your assignment.

I have to sprinkle the turtles, see?

Sprinkle the turtles?

- Sure.

Cool 'em off.

- Hm?

Turtles get feverish on trains.

- Ahh! Uh huh.

Cary!

What's that?

Nikki!

Cary! Bill! Shep!

Cary!

Say!

Get out of here!

Say, what's the idea?

What's the idea? Well, what

business is that of yours?

Nikki, you all right? What is this

tough trying to do to you anyway?

Well, I was just going to bed

and he came in

and flang himself all over me.

Frink, you'd better

get out of here right away

before something happens to you.

What right have you to

tell me to get out of here?

This isn't your compartment, is it?

Oh, I see. You wanna argue about it.

If you don't clear out of here right now,

you're liable to get hurt.

All right. Suppose you put me out.

Put him out? I'll snap his spine

and throw him off the train!

Hold everything, Bill!

Oh, dear, does everybody have to

act like this?

I'm not gonna let these silly drunks

tell ME where to get off.

Silly drunks?

- Silly drunks, did you say?

Yes. And that goes

for the whole bunch of you.

Let me have him.

Wait a minute.

I'll take care of him.

You will, eh?

Socko!

Oh, dear!

Mm! Now, ain't that nice?

Have you ever seen

anything so cute?

Will you be all right now, Nikki?

- Uh huh.

Grab hold of that fella

and drag him out of here.

Come to papa.

Here, Francis. Do your stuff.

Frink, don't you know better than

to try a stunt like that?

Oh, I - I lost my head

over the girl is all.

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

Well, you apologize to Nikki

in the morning.

And don't you ever get

out of line again.

The next time,
