it might be different.

Good night.

Wake up, ya big sissy.

Here, drink this.

It'll make you laugh and play

like any old thing.

Say, Cary,

what day is this?

It's Wednesday.

Wednesday?

Wednesday what?

The twentieth.

What month, I mean?

You mean to say you don't know

what month this is?

I knew once but I forgot.

Well, it's June.

The merry month of June.

June? Say,

maybe I better get up.

What town are we in?

You're in Lisbon, Portugal.

Lisbon.

That's where I thought it was.

I just wanted to check up is all.

Say, what's the matter with you,

Shep?

Don't you really know where

you are or what day it is?

I kind of lose track of things.

Say, this is getting serious.

Serious? Is anything

serious any more?

Well, it's serious when you

don't know where you're at.

What's gonna

become of you?

Oh, I'll be all right when I've had

a couple of drinks.

Say, what town

did you say this was?

I just told you, Lisbon.

Come on, now,

pull yourself together, Shep.

We gotta get organized

for the bull-fight.

Bull-fight?

Are we going to a bull-fight?

Sure.

A Portuguese bull-fight.

Is that guy Frink coming along?

- 'Fraid so.

Gee, isn't there any way we can

get rid of that guy?

Somebody'll have to shoot him.

Not a bad idea at that.

Praca de Touros!

I wonder if there's

a bar inside or anything.

Sure, there IS a bar.

Let's find the bar. We gotta

get organized for the bull-fight.

Right this way.

Oh, boy! Lookit that bar, would ya?

Isn't that a beautiful thing?

What are you all gonna have?

- Beer is what I want.

Beer.

- Beer.

Cinco cervejas.

- Cinco cervejas.

I don't like beer.

Make you leap like a tuna.

Don't wanna leap like a tuna.

Make you bark like a fox.

- Don't wanna bark like a fox.

Make you laugh and play.

That's what I wanna do!

Laugh and play!

Hey! Vermouth!

Well, men,

fire and fall back!

Hey! What's the idea?

Well,

I hope I don't catch a cold

in my left ear.

Hey, drink your drinks!

We'll miss the parade!

Well! My old pal!

Hooray!

Nikki, here's a present for you.

- Oh, a hat!

Oh, senor, no, no, no -

you must not keep the hat.

You must put a little present in it

and return it to the matador

after the fight.

What kind of present?

Well, eh - a little jewelry.

Something you have like the chain or

the watch or the - the - the

cigarette case or the cuff links

or - or the -

Vanilla?

Yes! Vanilla!

Look!

Here he comes!

Nice work!

Good work.

What's so good about it?

He works close to the bull.

Is that so dangerous?

Sure, it's dangerous.

Bull-fighting is very dangerous.

It takes a lot of

courage to go into the bull ring.

Is it true the bull is blind

when he charges?

He sees only the cape - perhaps.

Bet I could run that bull

bow-legged.

You know, I should have BEEN

a bull-fighter.

You should have started at

twelve years of old.

I bet I could start right now.

Sit still and behave yourself.

Bull-fighting is not for Americans.

You think we haven't got the nerve

or something?

Why, listen,

Bull-fighting is just

for us, the Latins.

He thinks we're a-scared!

He tackled a horse once.

Tackle a horse?

Is not the same!

Nice work, Tony!

Nice work, Joe!

Hey!

Bill! Come back here!

Bill!

Take it easy! Take it easy!

Cary? I slipped.

Too bad.

You were doing fine.

Wasn't I, though? Heh.

It's a cinch.

Bull-fighting? Just as easy -

Hey, Doc?! Be careful.

What are you doing?

You know why I slipped, Cary?

No, Bill. Why?

On account of that

beer in my shoe.

Hey, Doc!

Cary, that bull

certainly was hostile.

You hurt, Bill?

You all right, Bill?

Sure.

I'm all right.

I was a big success.

He wants that we should

go right away.

I'm sure glad that I -

I wore my new blue shorts.

I'll be a big success

in the hospital.

I'll send you my turtles, Bill.

And THEN you'll be a big success.

So long, Bill.

- So long.

Goodbye, Bill.

See ya later - Cary.

How is he?

They've just put him to sleep.

Why, thank you, Nikki.

There's nothing you can do.

You'd better go back to the hotel.

Put Nikki in a taxi.

We'll wait here.

Senor,

The reporters want to know

Why your friend descend

into the bull ring.

Tell them - that it seemed like

a good idea - at the time.

Sounds like old times.

Let's go and shoot.

Not a bad idea.

What say, Annie Oakley?

Like to fire off a gun at something?

No objection.

We'll be right back.

Hold everything.

First one to miss pays for the drinks.

What'll we shoot at?

Shoot one of those pussycats

and see what happens.

All right.

Look out, pussycat.

Well, that's what I was aiming at,

a clay pipe.

Whole thing's been

misrepresented to me.

Cary, let's see you

shoot something.

Look out, ball!

What'd YOU aim at?

Well, let's see you

shoot something.

Oh, no, no, no, Nikki.

How do you hold it still?

Listen, Nikki, put it

on your right shoulder.

Now, put your hand out there and hold up -

No, don't cover up the site.

No, no, no, that's right.

Now just hold it evenly -

You can do better than that.

Show him up.

What are you waving at, Nikki?

Look out!

Why, you fool. Don't you

know better than that?

What's the idea?

Pointing a loaded gun at Nikki?

Take your hands off me.

Put down that gun!

Let go of my wrist!

Put down that gun!

Listen, you keep your hands off me!

I've had enough from you!

You try any more of your

rough stuff on me -!

Oh, so that's how it is.

I thought we taught you

how to behave.

You taught ME how to behave?!

Listen, you'd better behave now

or you'll get hurt.

I don't think so.

I'll give you three

to put down that gun.

It'll be just too bad

if you don't.

Too bad for who?!

One...

Keep away from me!

I'll shoot, I tell ya! I'll shoot!

Two...

I'll shoot! I'll shoot!

Francis?

Francis?

Goodbye, Cary.

Shep. Nikki.

We've got to get out of here.

Come on, Shep. Come on.

That's the last of Francis, I'm afraid.

We'll never see him again.

Did you notice his eyes?

That's the first time I ever saw

Francis really happy.

What'll happen to him,

do you suppose?

Don't worry about Francis.

He'll take care of himself.

Let's get out of here.

Let's walk.

No. Don't want to walk.

Let's take a cab.

Did you see the way Francis poured

lead into that fellow?

Fast work.

Fast?

Chain lightning!

Nice shooting.

Those slugs went right past my ear.

If I'd've moved an inch,

I would've caught one of them myself.

"Sudden Death," all right.

What's the matter with you, Shep?

I've never known you so quiet before.

That's right.

I am kind of quiet.

Not smoking?

- No.

Your lighter working?

Good ol' Nikki -

never has any matches.

No.

Sure you want a light?

That's what I want, a light.

Shep. Shep!

What is it?

- Shep's hurt!

It's a forgery.

Do something for him, Cary!

Oh, Shepard!

He's been shot!

What can we do, Cary?!

What can we do?!

Shep, why didn't you say

you were hurt?

Good old Cary.

Sweet Nikki.

You may not believe it but this is the

best thing that ever happened to me.
