To Have and Have Not Page #5

- Who do you treat square?

You'd double-cross your own mother.

You told me so yourself.

I was only kidding.

Thanks, Harry. I knew you was my pal.

- But why won't you carry me?

- Because I don't want you.

You know, you're just plugged.

Never mind, old pal,

you'll be glad to see me yet.

All right. Come out of there.

It's only me, Harry.

How did you get back on board?

I went up the street for some bottles.

Then I sneaked in

while you was working on the engine.

- I knew you'd carry me.

- Carry you, nothing.

If I thought you could swim back

I'd dump you overboard.

You're a joker. We've got to stick together

when we're in trouble.

- How do you know I'm in trouble?

- You can't fool me. I always know.

Where we going, Harry?

What would you do

if somebody shot at you?

Shot at me? With a gun?

- Who's gonna shoot at me?

- If you're lucky, nobody.

Where we going? What're we gonna do?

I'll tell you when the time comes.

Get out some tackle.

Aren't you glad you came?

No.

- Here. Put this on. It's getting cold.

- I'm all right, Harry.

Say, what's going on?

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Yes, there is, too.

What's all the darn guns for?

In case we run into a shark or something.

A shark? At night?

Or something?

What do you mean, "or something"?

- Watch your course.

- What's the matter?

We're going on a job.

I'll tell you what to do when it's time.

A job?

What kind of a job?

What do you expect me to do?

Do you know how to handle this?

Of course I know how.

Everybody knows how to handle a gun.

All you do is work the lever

and pull the trigger. You know I know that.

Such foolish questions.

Do I know how to handle a gun.

- What do I got to work a gun for?

- I just wondered if you could.

You know I can.

Harry, sometimes you act stupid.

Just plain stupid.

Sometimes I think you don't pay

no attention to nothing I say.

Is it gonna be that bad, Harry?

I don't know yet.

It all depends on how lucky we are.

That's why you didn't want to carry me.

I knew there was some other reason.

You wasn't mad at me at all.

You was afraid I'd get hurt.

You was thinking of me.

Watch your course, Eddie.

I feel better now, Harry.

I'll be all right. You'll see.

What's the matter?

What are you looking at me like that for?

What are you laughing at?

Just a joke that neither one of us

knows the answer to.

What joke?

Whether you're gonna hold together

or not.

Don't say that, Harry.

I'm a good man. You know I am.

You are, but you're going

all over the ocean. Stay on your course.

Why do you always...

Could I have just one?

I don't want to get the shakes.

Make it a short one.

I want you rum-brave, not useless.

Thanks, Harry.

What's the matter, Harry?

- Who's that? What are we going to do?

- Pick up a couple of guys.

Here's what I want you to do.

Take this gun and get back in the stern.

If there's any trouble, start shooting.

But don't shoot me.

Supposing something happens to you?

What do I do then?

How do I know?

You invited yourself on this trip, not me.

All right, get back there.

My name's Harry Morgan.

Beauclere sent me.

Get that light out of my face.

- What happened to Beauclere?

- He ran into a little trouble.

- What's your name?

- De Bursac.

That's the name. It's all right, Eddie.

Come on aboard.

Wait a minute.

He didn't say anything about a woman.

Permit me.

This is my wife, Madame de Bursac.

How do you do?

What do you want to bring a...

It's your funeral. Let's get out of here.

All right, Eddie. You can relax now.

Don't unload. We're not home yet.

If she gets cold,

you can put her down in the cabin.

Mr. Morgan, just who are you?

I own this boat. Beauclere's paying me

to get you people back to Martinique.

You're not one of us.

You're not on our side.

I don't understand.

I don't understand

what kind of a war you're fighting...

lugging your wives with you.

Don't you get enough of them at home?

- You say you're being paid for this.

- That's right.

Then I suggest you stop talking

and take us to Martinique.

That's where we're heading right now.

- What's the matter, Harry?

- Keep quiet.

I thought I saw something out there.

Listen.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

Shut up. You hear that?

Is it the patrol boat?

Don't you know those engines?

Sounds like she's off there.

Stand by that wheel.

Wait a minute. Give me that gun.

You can't fight them guys, Harry.

What's the matter with you?

You ought to be telling me

how good you are.

I can do it. What do you want me to do?

If we're lucky, nothing. If we're not,

hook her up and get away from here fast.

- What does this mean, Mr. Morgan?

- Trouble, if they see us.

- What can we do?

- You can't do anything.

Just get down on the deck, flat,

and stay there.

But I don't know what good it'll do.

- If you try to resist, we will be killed.

- Shut up, both of you.

Get down on the deck, flat.

You save France. I want to save my boat.

Hook her up, Eddie. Let's go.

Don't shoot!

We got lucky again.

Ease her off and put her on 160

and then get that first-aid kit.

That's not so bad.

You wouldn't have that

if you weren't so anxious to give up.

Please help me get him on the seat.

Leave him. I don't want him

bleeding over my cushion.

- Here you are, Harry.

- You can have a drink now.

Thanks, Harry.

Help me off with his coat.

Easy now, boy.

All right. Get ready.

The man in that boat

will take you on from here.

But I don't understand.

Some people spent a lot of time

figuring this thing out.

They know more about it than we do.

This is de Bursac.

He's the other guy

I was supposed to pick up. His wife.

- My name is Gerard.

- How do you do?

- Easy with him. He's been shot up a little.

- What happened?

We ran into a patrol boat.

They'll tell you about it.

I'll cruise around

and give you a chance to get ashore.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

Good evening, Mama.

- I thought you said she pulled out.

- I thought she did.

Hello, Steve.

You were going to put her on a plane.

- What's the matter? Didn't it go?

- It went. But I decided not to.

You did? I went to a lot of trouble

to get you out of here.

- That's why I didn't go.

- Yeah.

You dames.

A guy goes out and breaks his neck to...

I might have expected it.

You're not sore, are you?

- It'd be all right...

- I got a refund on that ticket. Here.

That's gonna help a lot.

You better hang onto it.

- We can use...

- She'll buy it for you.

- Nothing but beer for him.

- I'll remember.

We'll be all right. I've got a job.

- Doing what?

- Frenchy seems to think I can sing.

It's his place.

Sometimes you make me so mad I could...

You could do what?

Harry, I need your help.

What is it now?

That's all right. Go ahead.

That man is very badly wounded, Harry.

I looked at him. The bullet hit the gunnel,

it was almost spent.

- All you got to do is take it out.

- Could you do it?

Me? I'm hotter than any doctor.

They would have recognized my boat.
