Come.

Those two monkeys from the showboat

want to see Captain Jackson.

We've got to keep them

out of the gambling room.

You take care of that ham actor, and

I'll have some fun with the fat one.

These gentlemen would like

to see Captain Sam Jackson.

Well, you see if he's here.

We'll entertain the gentlemen.

Of course.

Come, my little man.

It's awfully dark in here.

Oh, excuse me. Thank you.

Uh-oh.

Thank you.

Well, well!

Oh!

Come on!

Nothin' helps.

That got it.

It's rather late for you

to be out, isn't it?

No, I don't think so. One day

last week I was out till 9:00.

Really?

Drinkin' too.

Oh.

Drinkin' good!

I had three soda pops.

Boy, was I woozy!

Good too.

I'll never forget...

Your wine, sir.

Oh, the wine!

Thank you. I'll...

Wine! I don't drink wine.

It's just soda pop with more

bubbles. Oh, that's different.

If that's the case,

then I will pay for this.

Compliments of the manager.

All right.

Lovely show.

Wonderful show. I never saw a

show like this before in my life.

I think I'm gettin'

a Mickey.

Cheers!

Yes, ma'am.

Ohhh. Well...

Oh, just a minute, please.

Hello! Steve, old boy!

Mildred! Hello.

Drink up.

Got it again.

Drink up.

Thank you.

Oh, Steve!

Steve, old boy!

Tell me, how's everything

at the stockyard?

Ah. Winifred! How's your mother?

Well...

Your health.

Oh, Steve, old boy!

How is your father?

Well...

Oh. Well...

Gettin' awful tired.

Sleepy?

Very sleepy. I...

Mmm.

It's-It's...

Yes, you look tired.

You look tired.

There, there.

Oh. Oh, excuse me.

I-I must've dazed off.

Sonny, you should be careful

coming to places like this.

You might get your pockets

picked. Here's your watch.

Oh, shame on you!

Just a minute.

Here's your diamond pin.

Oh, thanks for the showboat

passes, Mr. Broadhurst.

And the gambling room is

right over there. Thank you.

Sorry, mister, but nobody gets

in here unless we know him.

Mr. Broadhurst, this place

is all full of crooks.

Oh, never mind that.

Captain Sam is in that room,

and we can't get in

unless somebody knows us.

I'll get us in.

My friend, what is the idea of you coming

out here and leaving us on the inside?

Did I do that?

You certainly did.

Then, come with me.

I'll go back in and get you.

Number 21.

Now, you stay here till

I find where I left you.

Hey, there's

Captain Sam over there.

Beats me.

I'll raise a hundred.

Here's your hundred.

That's your hundred.

I'll raise you a hundred.

Captain Sam, you ought

to be ashamed of yourself.

You promised never to gamble

again! Don't bother me.

Havin' a fine time. Good friends...

Miss Bonita and Mr. Crawford.

Go away, go away, go away.

You gentlemen might enjoy a

little roulette. This way, please.

Oh, put your arm down. I think

I'll take a fling at this thing.

Where's the money? My money,

yes. I got it right here.

Get it out. Is it all there?

I saved every bit of it.

Tens, twenties, yes.

Some fifties.

Several fifties, yes. Fifty, fifty,

fifty. Twenty, twenty, ten, ten.

What was that? Somebody

put a buck in there.

Give it to me. Let's get... No,

I said all of it. Oh, excuse me.

That's the idea. No, no,

no, no. Give me the bill.

That's the idea. I...

Give me that bill.

Put it in my hand like that

and leave it there.

Okay. That's better. Now we...

Pew, stop.

Pew.

Now, it don't look nice chewing gum in

that suit. I'm chewing it in my mouth.

Well, skip it.

Here, buy us some chips.

Okay. Mister, we would like

to get some... There you are.

That's quick service. Here. Here's

some chips for you to play with.

And take it easy! I'll tell you what,

you play the same numbers I play.

I'll play number 20, and you

play 20 too. How can you do that?

Why not? We're gonna play the same number?

Same number.

You want me to play 22.

No, no. I'm gonna play 20. You play 20 too.

That's two different numbers. Let's

play the same number. Let's play 30.

All right. You play 30,

and I'll play 30 too. Okay.

No, no, no! Well, what do you want to do?

Let's play the same number. You can't

play 32 and me... What do you want to do?

Let's both play 33. All

right, here. Put it on 33.

On 33. 33. There it is. Number 33.

What are you doing?

Up on the board! Here's 33.

- Over there.

- Hm-hmm.

On the board!

What are you doing?

Thirty-three.

Come on, get down.

See here. See?

Come here, come here.

- Hey.!

- Oh! Thirty-three!

Win.! win.!

Twenty-six black

the winner.

The house wins.

Get your bets down.

Hey, wait a minute! What kind of a

ball is that? It's got the hiccups.

Hiccups?

It's...

It was in thirty... Get your

bets down, ladies and gentlemen.

Come on, we're

playing 33 again.

Thirty-three!

We win!

Wait. Thirteen black the winner.

Nobody on it.

The house wins.

Get your bets down,

ladies and gentlemen.

Uh, mister, we wanna

play 33 just once more.

This time

you're gonna get stuck.

Thirty-three.

Whoo.

- Thirty-three.! We win.!

- We win.

We win. Thirty-three.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Captain Sam, I think this place

is crooked. Let's get out of here.

That's right. I'll show you

to the door. Here we go again.

Open the door.

I hope that's

the end of that.

I didn't even get hurt.

Get out ofhere.!

Good evening, gentlemen.

Give me that money. Now, we've gotta

find some way of getting back in there...

and get Captain Sam out.

Wait a minute.

I've got an idea.

If we could scare everybody out of that

gambling room, we could save Captain Sam.

Come on.

I'll put the bearskin on.

You go into the gambling room...

and tell everybody to run for

their lives, the bear is loose.

Then I'll come in and

scare 'em all out. Okay.

I gotta keep playing.

It's gettin' awful fuzzy...

I can't see the cards

very good. Hmm?

Hey, everybody!

Run for the hills!

The bear is loose!

Come on!

Everything's all right, ladies and

gentlemen. Just keep on playing.

Get your bets down.

Did you people

hear what I said?

The bear's loose.!

Run for the hills.!

Mr. Broadhurst, I thought

you would never get here.

Go ahead, scare 'em.

Ah-ha!

Mr. Broadhurst, you look

like a real bear.

Oh, you even smell

like a real bear.

Come on. Cut it out.

Don't...

Mr. Broadhurst, I don't

want any more of that.

Cut it out. Mr. Broadhurst, I don't

want you playin' around like that.

Look, Mr. Broadhurst...

Look, you forgot to brush

your teeth this morning!

Don't talk to me like a bear.

Talk real English.

Let me take the head

off you now, Mr. Broadhurst.

Let me take...

Mr. Broadhurst!

That's... Don't!

You're tickling me!

Now let me get the head off.

Where's the head?

Take it easy.

Hiya, Dexter.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

I'm trying to take

the skin off you.

He never got me.

There you are. Now get back on

those lines. Let's raise this drop.

Okay, Mr. Broadhurst. That's swell. I...

Now wait a minute. What are you going

to do? What're you doing out here?

Mr. Broadhurst, Captain Sam said

that if I could learn this song,
