Week-End in Havana Page #2

your going on the Caribbean Queen.

Well, I'm afraid all we can do is try

to make it up to you with a small check.

A check won't make it up.

I've saved for years. I've gone without lunches

just so I could have this cruise.

I've planned on it. I- I've worn old dresses

so I could have lovely clothes for it.

Do you think you can pay me back

for all the fun I'm not gonna have with a check?

Aren't you being a little difficult?

Well, why not?

I'm being cheated out of my trip.

I- I tell you what we'll do,

Miss Spencer.

We want you to have your trip

just as much as you want it.

Suppose we send you

on to Havana by plane...

pay all your expenses

and give you a good time.

Wouldn't that be fair?

- When would I leave?

- Right away.

Well, I- I suppose that is pretty fair.

Well, I'm- I'm glad that's settled.

Now may I have your signature

on this form, please?

You seem pretty anxious to get it.

Well, I haven't much time.

I'm due back in New York.

Well, I'm not signing anything

until after I've had that trip.

But I've told you

what we'll do for you.

Well, how do I know

I'll have a good time?

Well, that we can't guarantee.

All we can do is expose you

to having a good time.

Well, I only hope I have as much fun

as your brochure said I'd have.

Well, I'll- I'll make the arrangements,

Miss Spencer.

Uh, I'll contact you later.

That's all I hope.

But you don't understand,

Mr. McCracken.

She won't sign until

after she's had the vacation...

and she won't sign it then

if she hasn't had a good time.

She can't get

that high-handed with us!

Oh, yes, she can. There's something she knows

about the ship's going aground...

that I can't repeat over the air.

There is?

You mean she could sue us?

- Remember the Calypso.

- All right. All right.

Give her anything she wants

within reason.

Or it might even be a little unreasonable,

just so she signs that waiver.

But don't you leave her side

until you get that signature.

But that'll take two weeks!

Have you forgotten about my wedding?

You can get married anytime.

Now keep in close touch

with me. Bye.

Good-bye.

[ Chorus ]

How would you

Like to spend

a weekend in Havana

Havana

[ Singing In Spanish ]

Ay-ah

[ Vocalizing ]

You'd better pack up

all your summer clothes

I'll see you down

at SloppyJoe's

So long, boy

and ship ahoy, Havana

Havana

Havana

Why, it's so gorgeous.

Well, there is no better suite in the hotel,

and there is no better hotel in the city.

Seorita.

There is no better view

in the whole country.

- Oh, I knew it would be romantic.

- Romantic?

Seorita, there is no place on this earth

it is so romantic.

It's a wonder

the population isn't bigger.

Oh, they come and go,

but the reaction is always the same.

Here we have more alignments of the heart

than any other place in the world.

And there have been

more marriages in this hotel...

than any other hotel

in the world.

- Really?

- But absolutely.

And this is only what you call

a fractional part of the romances.

- Well, uh, what are the best nightclubs here?

- Best nightclubs?

Oh, the Sans Souci,

the Club Corazn, the Midi-

Midi's of course very popular

with tourists.

But personally I prefer best

the Casino Madrileo. Oh.

Of course I've never been there. My information

is only what I adhere to accidentally...

but I have noticed that the people

in the hotel who go there...

- come back latest and sleep longest-

- Ah.

and tip hardest.

Oh- Oh, I'm so sorry.

I forgot all about it.

- There you are.

- Thank you.

Seorita, you will not notice

the slightest difference in the service.

Oh, thank you.

- Oh, hello there.

- Hello.

- Won't you come in?

- Thanks.

- Is everything all right?

- Oh, it's gorgeous. Couldn't be better.

- Just look at the view.

- Oh, nice, isn't it? I have the same view from my window.

And the bedroom!

- How do you like it?

- Very nice.

Even our furniture display on the ninth floor

was never like this.

It's the, uh, presidential suite,

you know.

Well, the whole cabinet

could use the bathtub.

[ Sighs ]

They ought to have lifeguards.

During the off-season,

they undoubtedly use it as a dry dock.

- Simply gorgeous.

- I'm glad you're pleased, Miss Spencer.

Oh, I am. It just couldn't be nicer.

Then perhaps you wouldn't mind

signing this waiver now.

You never forget business

for a minute, do you?

Why, yes, I do. Sometimes.

Bet not for more than a minute.

Well, I am rather anxious to get this signed.

I'd like to get back to New York.

If you remember, I told you

I wouldn't sign anything...

- until after I've had that vacation.

- Why not?

How do I know I wouldn't be

thrown out of here the minute you left?

Why, that's ridiculous.

That's not the way our company does business.

Maybe not, but you can't be too careful

of these big corporations.

- I don't think they'll get away with anything with you.

- [ Chuckles ]

Well, what would you like to do first?

See the sights?

All right. But you'll have to wait

till I swim across that bathtub and back.

I'll be in the bar when you're ready.

[ Barking ]

" Sugar is the greatest industry

of the Cuban Republic...

" and a visit to its vast sugarcane fields

will afford moments of rare interest.

"Hundreds of thousands of Cubans

are concerned directly or indirectly...

"with the production or marketing

of this commodity.

"The cutting season extends from December

toJune, and the cane is cut with machetes.

"Oxen are still used to till the fields

and haul the cane to railroad cars.

" During 1940,

1,174,369 tons...

" were exported

to the United States alone.

- At Havana's door, there are"-

- Now wait a minute.

When you asked me to go sightseeing,

you really meant it, didn't you?

I thought it was a pretty drive,

but what would you rather see?

Well, I understand there are countless bars

and numberless nightclubs in Havana.

Oh, I'd planned on taking you

to one tonight.

There's a place called Midi's

that's supposed to be very nice.

Midi's? All the tourists go there.

I'll bet if I was seeing Havana

with Arnold Spreckles...

he wouldn't take me

to any second-rate nightclub.

Where do you think

Arnold Spreckles would take you?

Mmm, the Casino " Madelino. "

All right. We'll go there.

Anything that Spreckles can do...

the McCracken Steamship Company

ought to be able to do.

Think so?

Oh, when I love, I love

T here's no two ways about it

Y es, when I love, I love

I cannot live without it

Oh, when I fall, I fall

and you shouldn't ever doubt it

If my lips say no to you

they're only telling lies

Look at me, and you will see

a s, s in my eyes

Bum, tee-dum, pum

pum-pum-pum

Bum, tee-dum, pum

pum-pum-pum

T hat's how my heart goes

when I am kissed, I'm so excited

Bum, tee-dum, pum
