Jay is instructed to take Nan to Havana and set her up in the best hotel and keep her entertained. She visits a night club where the star attraction is Rosita Rivas, and meets Rosita's worthless manager, Monte Blanca, who makes a play for her. Trouble also comes in the form of Jay's fiancée, Terry McCracken, when a romance develops between Nan and Jay.

Every time that a band

starts to play

Ciboney

Romance and rhumba

Makes you oversentimental

You won't give a continental

And you'll find that your dreams

will come true

P.D.Q.

Music does things to me

Mmm, mi amigo

I'm somewhere in the clouds

high above

If you feel the way I do

Mi amiga

It's dollars to doughnuts

that you will be falling in love

[ Crowd Vocalizing ]

Music does things to me

mi amigo

I'm somewhere in the clouds

high above

If you feel the way I do

mi amigo

It's dollars to doughnuts

that you will be falling in love

And when it happens

Something in your eyes

will show it

She'll say yes

before you know it

So beware of that night

W hen you share

- Romance and rhumba

- [ Vocalizing ]

[ Ends ]

[ Resumes ]

- Seor Williams.

- Yes?

- Two cables.

- Thank you.

- What happened to you?

- Oh, uh- [ Chuckles ]

There was an accident

with a revolving door.

- Just a little swelling.

- Oh.

- Take an answer, will you?

- Oh, s, seor.

Miss Terry McCracken.

612 Park Avenue, New York City.

Will rub tarnish off

silverware myself.

Will be there by Friday.

I love you. Signed,Jay.

Have you got that?

I missed the first part,

but the last sentence is all that matters.

- Isn't that so?

- Hmm. Maybe you're right.

Okay.

I'll answer this one too.

Walter McCracken.

McCracken Building, New York City.

Human element hard at work.

Girl getting happier by the minute.

Read that back to me.

" Walt McCrack, Cincinnati.

Humane elephant hardly works. "

- Give me that.

- Seor, it isn't so easy to write standing up.

Ah, forget it. I'll send it myself.

Seor Williams, Seorita Rivas

was just inquiring for you.

- How do you do, Seorita Rivas?

- Are you the man with the blonde?

- I don't own one. I know one.

- Hmm.

Come on. Let's go away

from this " eavesdripper. "

Your blonde is on the chase

for my manager.

Really, Seorita Rivas.

I think you have the wrong impression.

Besides, I'm sure

that any interest Miss Spencer...

might have in your manager

is purely platonic.

" Plutonic" or not, when I catch her,

I'll pull all her hair out. Where are they?

I- I haven't the faintest idea.

Miss Spencer said something

about attending a lecture on tropical fish.

- Mm-hmm.

- Anyway, I'm positive they're not around here.

Then I'll sit and wait until the cows go home.

Sometime she'll have to come back.

Maybe Monte will not like her so much

without any hair.

You're much too concerned

about this, seorita.

Why don't you just run along

and forget the whole thing?

I forget nothing, and I don't run.

You can take my word for it.

There's no reason to be jealous.

Jealous? Who's jealous?

I am not jealous.

Well, if you're gonna wait around the lobby

and ambush Miss Spencer...

- someone is bound to get that impression.

- With me, it's all business.

I- If you don't mind my saying so...

I think you're making a mistake

following them around this way.

- You have pride, haven't you?

- Yeah. Yeah. I have it.

Sometimes I have so much pride

I could blow up.

Then show it. Be independent.

Get yourself a new manager.

Oh, no, no.

I could not do that.

No one can manage me

as well as Monte.

- How do you know?

- I have a feeling.

That's only because

you've never tried anyone else.

You think so? That would be

a good lesson for him, huh?

Sure it would.

Show him you don't need him.

Yah. Yah. I will show him that.

But where will I get a new manager?

Uh, let's go someplace

we can talk it over.

Oh, no, no. I have no time now

to go someplace. I have rehearsal.

But tonight I can talk

if you'll come to the casino.

Don't you think the casino's

a little crowded?

Yeah. You're right.

It's full of busy biddies.

I know a little inn in the country.

Arbolado's.

- I'll meet you there at 10:00. Huh?

- Fine.

You better run along. I don't want you

to be late for your rehearsal.

- Why hurry? I am only late one hour.

- [ Gasps ]

- Huh?

- Let's go through the kitchen.

I always like to see

what they're gonna have for dinner.

I ride all around singing

Buy a lollipop, buy a lollipop

You'll hear my bell ringing

Buy a lollipop, buy a lollipop

Ah, seorita, how many

The moon on a stick for a penny

You'll hear children echoing

Buy a lollipop, buy a lollipop

Merrily swinging along

You all can be-

Welcome, seor. Welcome.

- Is this Arbolado's?

- I am Arbolado. Come in, seor. Come in.

You honor my house to enter into it.

I'm looking for a young lady.

I know a redhead.

I could get her here in 10 minutes.

No, no. I'm supposed to meet

this young lady here. Seorita Rivas.

- Oh. You are the young man she's expecting.

- Yes.

She's upstairs. This way, seor.

This room down here is only for those

who can't pay for anything better.

" Tightskates" and the " cheapwads. "

You know, seor,

this house is very romantic.

The very famous pirate Morgan...

used to come ashore here and make love

to the wife of the governor-general.

Their rendezvous was in this very room.

Here is the marks made by his cutlass

on the way in.

You will find the champagne

by the table.

- When you are ready for supper,just ask.

- Thanks.

- Good evening, seorita.

- Ah. Buenas noches, seor.

Are you good at corks pulling?

Well, most of my experience

has been with beer cans.

- Ah. Did you have any troubles finding the road?

- Was that what I came over?

You certainly picked an out-of-the-way place

for our conference.

You do not like this place?

I think it's terrific.

It has a nice balcony.

Come to see.

- You see? Nice, huh?

- Mmm. Very nice.

- And you said you did not want to be in a crowd.

- Well, that was to avoid Monte.

If you really want to teach him a lesson,

don't see him. Have nothing to do with him.

I have nothing

to do with him plenty.

And what kind of manager

did you get for me, huh?

Uh, rather good, I think.

You're going to be a little surprised.

Surprised?

Ooh. I like surprises.

They tickle me in here.

- Well, I'm your new manager.

- Huh?

Now, before you say anything, listen.

I've never managed any artist before...

but I've had a lot of experience

in management.

- Yes?

- And I'll really handle your affairs right.

If I do say so myself,

I'm a- I'm a good businessman.

Never mind the buildups.

I think I'll like you.

- Thanks.

- You are good-looking.

Uh- [ Chuckles Nervously ]

Thank you.

You are big and strong.

Well, I've had

the usual childhood diseases...

but I think I'm well enough to handle

any deals that come up.

- Kiss me.

- What?

- Kiss me.

- Well, I guess we might as well seal the bargain.

I guess.

Mmm! I think you'll be

a wonderful manager.

- Oh.

- I'm sorry.

Oh, that's all right. That's all right.

Uh, let us sit on the couch, huh?

Well, d-don't you think

I'd better order dinner first?

- Oh, no.

- Well, I didn't have any lunch, and I-

- I better get 'em started.

- I pour the champagne, huh?

[ Arbolado ] Oh,yes, seorita.

This house is very romantic.

You know that very famous pirate Morgan?
