00:01:10Miss Jordan?
00:01:11Yes, who is it?
00:01:12It's Hal Grayson.
00:01:13How about a swim?
00:01:14Yes, I'll be up in a minute.
00:01:16That's great. We'll be up on deck.
00:01:18Miss Jordan's a peach, isn't she?
00:01:20You've met her, haven't you, sis?
00:01:21Oh, yes. Last night with Mother.
00:01:23And when a girl gets Mother's approval,
00:01:25believe me, that's an achievement.
00:01:44Oh!
00:02:03Enjoying yourself?
00:02:04You know, it's frankly embarrassing
00:02:06and all that sort of thing, but I've dropped a guinea.
00:02:10Did you drop it in my room?
00:02:12Oh!
00:02:14Oh!
00:02:16I say, I hope you didn't think that I...
00:02:19First I thought that...
00:02:20Well, you shouldn't, should you, eh?
00:02:22No, I guess I shouldn't.
00:02:24Bye-bye.
00:02:25Toodle-oo!
00:02:41Could you tell me what time we get into Los Angeles?
00:02:43About four o'clock this afternoon, Miss Jordan.
00:02:46But you're not leaving us yet, are you?
00:02:47Oh, no.
00:02:48For Panama.
00:03:17Hey, that dive was a beauty.
00:03:37Oh, by the way, Miss Jordan,
00:03:39I've arranged to have you with us at the captain's table.
00:03:42It might brighten it up a bit.
00:03:44Oh, that's thoughtful of you, Mr. Grayson.
00:03:46I'm sure I shall enjoy it.
00:03:49Were you hungry?
00:03:50Oh, so hungry.
00:03:51That looks actually good to me.
00:03:57Hello, Mother.
00:03:59Hello, darling.
00:04:00Hello, darling.
00:04:01How are you?
00:04:02I say, I hear that we're to have a little game this afternoon.
00:04:05We'll be up here quite a little time.
00:04:08Were you hungry?
00:04:09Absolutely.
00:04:10I believe you all know Miss Jordan.
00:04:13Does Miss Jordan know Mr. Montmorency Upson?
00:04:16Oh, yes.
00:04:17We've met.
00:04:18It's a child.
00:04:21If I'm not too inquisitive, Miss Jordan,
00:04:23was it on the continent you met Mr. Upson?
00:04:26It was on a boat.
00:04:27You know how it is in life sometimes.
00:04:29You open a door, and before you know it,
00:04:32you bump into somebody.
00:04:34I say, old thing, do we take on any passengers at Los Angeles?
00:04:38Why, yes.
00:04:39As I recall, there's a group of passengers
00:04:41going through to Panama.
00:04:43The Trixie Snell girls are now to perform
00:04:45in the Bull Ring Cabaret.
00:04:47You mean cabaret girls?
00:04:49Well, dancers, entertainers, hostesses.
00:04:51You can call them almost anything you like.
00:04:53Ho, ho.
00:04:54Hoochie coochie dancers, eh?
00:04:56Will they be permitted to mix with the passengers?
00:04:59They are passengers, Mrs. Grayson.
00:05:01The company cannot discriminate.
00:05:03Well, the passengers are going to have a good time.
00:05:07Well, the passengers can discriminate, I assure you.
00:05:10Yes, I quite agree with you, Mother.
00:05:12That type should be kept in its place.
00:05:15Don't you think so, Dale?
00:05:17That depends on the type and the place.
00:05:37Hey, Red!
00:05:39Her hair's a different color every year,
00:05:41but they still call her Red.
00:05:45Pan the chatter, save your pep for Panama.
00:05:53Say, you'd forget your rosy cheeks
00:05:55if they weren't slapped down with a paintbrush.
00:05:57I know I had them when I bumped into
00:05:59that traveling man last night.
00:06:01The brakes, I guess.
00:06:03Another farmer's dog.
00:06:05Have you looked in the First National?
00:06:07Oh.
00:06:11Horrid.
00:06:12Well, try the second branch, you simp.
00:06:17Hot dog!
00:06:25One side, sailor.
00:06:27You ain't seen nothing yet.
00:06:29In all the world, no trip like this.
00:06:33Hi, Skipper.
00:06:34How's your old company?
00:06:35Hello, Miss.
00:06:36I'm glad to see you again.
00:06:37I'll be so proud of all of us.
00:06:39Hey, Admiral.
00:06:42Hey, Admiral, are there any hoppy hoppers on this tug?
00:06:45Scram, dumbbell.
00:06:46Pimp yourself until you get where you can use it.
00:06:48Take down!
00:06:50Hey, sailor!
00:06:51Look who's back.
00:06:53Hey, sailor.
00:06:54Hey, sailor.
00:06:55Hey, sailor.
00:06:56Hey, sailor.
00:06:57Hey, sailor.
00:06:58Look who's back.
00:07:06If you'll excuse me, Mr. Grayson, I think I'll go down to my cabin.
00:07:09Well, I'll see you later, won't I?
00:07:12Why, yes.
00:07:13Unless you look the other way.
00:07:20This it?
00:07:21I think it is.
00:07:23Who's the roommate?
00:07:25Last time, you bumped me with a contortionist.
00:07:27Every time I looked at her bed, I thought I was having a nightmare.
00:07:30Oh, she's a kid I picked up from Frisco.
00:07:32Kind of green, but she can sing.
00:07:34Oh, amateur, huh?
00:07:36What are we supposed to do, wean her?
00:07:38Well, there's nothing like a little fresh meat.
00:07:40After all, customers get kind of tired of has-beens.
00:07:44You should know.
00:07:45Why, you low-down, plug-faced...
00:07:48Oh, as I was saying, dear, we're going to have a delightful trip.
00:07:51Why, yes, Miss Jordan.
00:07:53Now, jolly what?
00:07:54Oh, hello, Miss Jordan.
00:07:55Received my wiring?
00:07:57Yes, I did, Miss Nell.
00:07:59I didn't really expect to hear from you.
00:08:01This is Jerry Royal, your roommate.
00:08:03Been with me before, and she knows the ropes.
00:08:05How do you do, Miss Royal?
00:08:06Shake, Jordan.
00:08:07Hey, Trixie, when do rehearsals start?
00:08:09Not till this gang of slobs get their sea legs.
00:08:12And listen, you, keep their mitts off those sailors.
00:08:15They've got enough on their hands keeping this tub afloat.
00:08:20The last we'll see of Trixie till we get into port.
00:08:23She's a good egg, except when she gets scrambled.
00:08:26Got a nail file, honey?
00:08:28What's the matter?
00:08:29Did you lose the key?
00:08:30No, I locked it in my trunk so they'll know where it is.
00:08:33It's your first time in show business?
00:08:35Yes, it's my first to pin.
00:08:37Well, you sure picked a tough spot for a beginner.
00:08:40Well, you've got to begin someplace.
00:08:42Yeah?
00:08:43Well, you don't know the bull ring or Trixie Snell's technique.
00:08:46Have you been here before?
00:08:48Honey, I've been to Panama so often I feel like an infamous.
00:08:52Well, if it's so bad, why do you and the other girls keep on going back again?
00:08:56Oh, different girls, different reasons.
00:08:59But mostly because it's just our speed.
00:09:01You know, you can't make a silk purse out of a horse's neck.
00:09:05And there's another reason.
00:09:07Good hunting for husbands.
00:09:09Say, there's plenty of unmarried men to every woman.
00:09:11Why, it's a regular he-harem.
00:09:13I shouldn't think a good-looking girl like you would have any trouble finding a husband.
00:09:18She wanted one.
00:09:19Thanks for them kind words, sister, but I am married.
00:09:22You are?
00:09:23Yeah, are, am, was, and is going to be.
00:09:26Oh, you're joking.
00:09:27No, sir.
00:09:28Three times loser.
00:09:29Trouble with me is I go ga-ga over tattoo marks.
00:09:33Three splices and three sailors.
00:09:35The kind of sailors I hitched up with ain't never seen an anchor.
00:09:39How do you lose them?
00:09:40They don't just run away, do they?
00:09:42Well, some of them get lost in the fog.
00:09:44The rest of them I just throw out.
00:09:48Well, it was open all the time.
00:09:50They forgot to lock it.
00:10:02Well, that was number one, Olaf Anderson.
00:10:05He was a pretty good guy.
00:10:07Not much to look at, but oh, sister, what a man.
00:10:11What happened to him?
00:10:13Poor Olaf.
00:10:15He signed on one of those round-the-world cruises,
00:10:17lost his boat in Shanghai,
00:10:19and I guess that dumb dodo can't learn enough Chinese to ask his way home.
00:10:23Want me to help you put your things away?
00:10:25Nope, I don't need any help.
00:10:32Well, I'm all settled.
00:10:35Haven't helped the poor sailors on a night like this.
00:10:38I thought you said you'd sworn off on sailors.
00:10:41Well, a gal's got to have some practice.
00:10:43Some of those sailors are pretty good at practice.
00:11:08So your girlfriend turned out to be one of Trixie Snell's hot numbers.
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:25Hal, I've a frightful headache.
00:11:27Will you see me to my cabin?
00:11:35Coming, children?
00:11:43Come on.
00:11:52Miss Jordan,
00:11:54I've been waiting for days to find someone to introduce us.
00:11:58Looks as though I'll have to take fate by the forelock and present myself.
00:12:01How do you do, Mr. Bayless?
00:12:04You knew my name.
00:12:05You knew mine.
00:12:07Would you dance?
00:12:14Aren't you afraid you'll lose your social standing?
00:12:18I haven't any.
00:12:20I might acquire some dancing with you.
00:12:30Phew!
00:12:32How many ports have you been in?
00:12:34A whole lot, baby, but I always go back to the same one.
00:12:37The same one?
00:12:39A whole lot, baby, but I always go back to the same one.
00:12:42The same what?
00:12:44Back home where there's Mama and Gretchen and Mabel and Catherine and Isaacs and Aloysius
00:12:50and a baby I ain't even seen yet.
00:12:53And what am I supposed to be, their godmother?
00:13:03Do you realize that for the whole evening you've made me talk of nothing but myself?
00:13:08I certainly couldn't think of a better subject.
00:13:11Mr. Bayless, suppose you tell me the story of your life.
00:13:14You think you'd be interested?
00:13:16That depends on the story.
00:13:18It's a long one.
00:13:20It'll probably take all of tomorrow afternoon.
00:13:23Think you could stand it?
00:13:24I think so, Mr. Bayless.
00:13:25Tom.
00:13:26Tom.
00:13:34It must be very late.
00:13:36I think I'd better go.
00:13:43I've had a delightful evening, Tom.
00:13:45Good night, Dale.
00:13:47Good night, darling.
00:14:06Good night.
00:14:29Oh, dear.
00:14:31My $10 gold piece.
00:14:33Allow me to help you, my dear.
00:14:35Is it embarrassing, what?
00:14:36Yes, yes.
00:14:38I think the bally thing rolled under my chair.
00:14:50Worthless.
00:14:51Still dropping things, I see.
00:14:54Ho!
00:15:05Who is it?
00:15:06Hello, kid.
00:15:07I guess you've been having quite a laugh at my expense, haven't you?
00:15:10Laugh?
00:15:11What do you mean by coming into my room?
00:15:13Oh, well, the joke's on me, all right.
00:15:15Here I was, being so very, very careful.
00:15:18And all the time, you were one of Trixie Snell's girls.
00:15:25I think you've made a mistake.
00:15:27Good night, Mr. Grayson.
00:15:29Good night.
00:15:32I think you've made a mistake.
00:15:34Good night, Mr. Grayson.
00:15:38Oh, come on, kid.
00:15:39That act's over.
00:15:40Be yourself.
00:15:43Is your face red?
00:15:45Oh, I see.
00:15:46Just a couple of...
00:15:47Outside, blue beard.
00:15:52Scram, bug, before I step on you.
00:15:57Hey, you're no babe in rompers.
00:15:59You can take care of yourself.
00:16:01Only your technique's old-fashioned.
00:16:03Old-fashioned?
00:16:04Yeah, that face-slapping gag.
00:16:07They're mature-ish.
00:16:08It's all right for them parlor books and all that.
00:16:11But say, when a goof makes a pass at me,
00:16:13I opt to him and give him a right hook to the kisser.
00:16:16You know, you gotta be prepared for things like that
00:16:18when you get in a troupe of Trixies.
00:16:20Maybe I should have studied boxing instead of singing.
00:16:23You think you're kidding?
00:16:24Maybe you'll wish you had.
00:16:26You're gonna meet plenty of palookas.
00:16:28Jerry, you make it sound pretty terrible.
00:16:31Aw, gee, kid.
00:16:33I didn't mean to scare you.
00:16:35You just tie on to Jerry's apron strings
00:16:37and everything will be all right.
00:16:39You know, Jerry knows her onions.
00:16:41And her tamales, too.
00:16:54Why, Tom, what an odd curio.
00:16:57It's a sort of good luck charm.
00:16:59I got it from an Indian chap
00:17:01that I managed to pull out of the water
00:17:02down in the San Blas Islands.
00:17:03That's where your business is?
00:17:05I'm in the copper trade down there.
00:17:07It's pretty wild.
00:17:08Often I don't see a white man for months.
00:17:11Spend my days visiting native villages,
00:17:13sleeping outdoors.
00:17:14Sounds almost as exciting as the bull ring.
00:17:19Deal. Tell me.
00:17:21How much do you actually know
00:17:22about Trixie Snell and the bull ring?
00:17:24Not much.
00:17:25But I seem to be learning.
00:17:26But you must have known something
00:17:27about what you were getting yourself in for.
00:17:29Things are a little different
00:17:30from what I thought they'd be,
00:17:31but I think I'll be able to take care of myself, all right.
00:17:34Well, I hope.
00:17:35You know,
00:17:37until I heard about your stage ambitions,
00:17:40I was a little puzzled at seeing a girl
00:17:41like you in Trixie's troupe.
00:17:43Most of the girls from the bull ring I've known
00:17:45signed up with Trixie either as a last resort
00:17:47or at most because they were hunting for sensations.
00:17:52I don't think I really belong to either class.
00:17:55Hi, sir.
00:17:57Hall.
00:17:58Say, what is this Hall business you're always getting on?
00:18:03Why, my dear, it's an expletive
00:18:05that is indigenous to my stratum.
00:18:08You don't mean it.
00:18:10Isn't there something a doctor could do about it?
00:18:13Hall.
00:18:14We're right back where we started.
00:18:16I say, you know,
00:18:17I was quite distressed over your losing your money last night,
00:18:21so after you'd retired,
00:18:23I went back to your chair
00:18:25and looked around for your gold piece.
00:18:28Quite sporting of you, old thing.
00:18:31Too bad you didn't find it.
00:18:33But I did, you know,
00:18:35right under your chair.
00:18:37You know, I have remarkable eyesight.
00:18:40Remarkable eyesight?
00:18:42Why, you're a walking microscope.
00:18:45I think you're a honey.
00:18:47I say, old thing,
00:18:48I think you're a little bit of all right yourself.
00:18:51Quite spiffing.
00:18:52What?
00:18:53Say, what is this old thing and spiffing business?
00:18:57Are you trying to make fun of me?
00:18:59My word, old dear.
00:19:01So you're making fun of me, huh?
00:19:03Say, listen, egg,
00:19:04if you think you can make fun of me for ten bucks,
00:19:07you're screwy.
00:19:11Hall.
00:19:16Well, Tom, tomorrow we'll be in Panama.
00:19:20That's right.
00:19:22This is our last night out.
00:19:25I'd better hurry and dress.
00:19:32Oh, Lurch.
00:19:46What's the matter, Tom?
00:19:48You look as glum as one of those Indians
00:19:50on that island of yours.
00:19:51Oh, I don't know, Dale.
00:19:53The thought of you leaving is bad enough.
00:19:55Leaving with Trixie Snell and all that.
00:19:57That's awfully sweet, Tom.
00:19:59I'm really flattered
00:20:00that you should be worried about me.
00:20:02I'm not worried about you.
00:20:04I'm worried about you.
00:20:06I'm not worried about you.
00:20:08I'm worried about you.
00:20:10I'm worried about you.
00:20:12I'm worried about you.
00:20:14Worried about me?
00:20:15Worried about you.
00:20:17Why, Dale, I...
00:20:32All right, kids, come up for air.
00:20:34Jerry!
00:20:37I didn't know you were here.
00:20:39I'd like to know how you do it.
00:20:41Do what?
00:20:42I'm going to turn Fink into a caveman in six days.
00:20:45You should loan me some of your technique.
00:20:48You seem to be doing all right with the men.
00:20:50How about your friend, Uppy?
00:20:52Oh, I dissed him two days ago.
00:20:55What?
00:20:56You know the ritzy way I talk
00:20:58when I try to impress someone?
00:21:00Yes.
00:21:01Well, Uppy tried the same thing on me,
00:21:03so I gave him the air.
00:21:05But, Jerry,
00:21:07that's the way Mr. Upson really talks.
00:21:10Well, why didn't he say so?
00:21:33What a glorious night.
00:21:40Everlasting moonlight.
00:21:42One of the baits of the tropics.
00:21:46Face the truth, Dale.
00:21:48Half the girls who come down here
00:21:50never get home unless some man pays their way.
00:21:52You're exaggerating.
00:21:53I'm not exaggerating.
00:21:55I know what I'm talking about.
00:21:57I've seen how it goes.
00:21:59The girls start drinking.
00:22:00They forget how rotten and sordid the whole thing is.
00:22:03They show up some night too drunk to go on.
00:22:05There's a fight with Trixie, and she kicks them out.
00:22:07But, Tom,
00:22:08nothing like that's going to happen to me.
00:22:19It might, Dale.
00:22:21That's why I'm worrying.
00:22:26I'm crazy about you.
00:22:28I've even thought about selling my business interests.
00:22:31Well, Tom...
00:22:32It might sound foolish, but...
00:22:34Well, maybe if you'd promise not to drink.
00:22:38After all, that's how the whole thing starts.
00:22:43You've cheapened me by even asking such a thing.
00:22:45Cheapened you?
00:22:47You've cheapened yourself already by associating with Trixie's crowd.
00:22:49Tom!
00:22:50Why act like a child?
00:22:52Why put yourself in the way of temptations
00:22:54that thousands of women haven't been able to resist?
00:22:56Just a minute.
00:22:57I've had just about enough of this.
00:22:59It's going to take more than climate or a crowd to make me a wanton.
00:23:02I know, Dale, but...
00:23:03As for Trixie's crowd, I only really know one of them.
00:23:05If she's an example of the rest, I'll throw my lot in with them.
00:23:35We've got a full house, girls!
00:24:02Now, buckle up your braziers and get ready for Jerry's members.
00:24:13Ain't heard nothing from him yet, huh?
00:24:15No, not a word.
00:24:17Maybe he's out in front.
00:24:18Yeah, sipping her lemonade.
00:24:22Hey, handsome.
00:24:26Who's the stew at the end table?
00:24:29Uh, wait.
00:24:33All right, girls, let's go.
00:24:40See you later, kids.
00:24:41Good luck.
00:24:42Get out of the way and let me in.
00:24:45Smile.
00:24:55Now, customers, I'm going to introduce
00:24:58110 pounds of American squab with a chili dressing and a tamale tone
00:25:02that'll knock you on your tortilla.
00:25:04Miss Jerry Royal.
00:25:16There's a gal named Saint Cerise
00:25:20Just a pal who knows what to do
00:25:25Has a saying that I'm telling to you
00:25:32If there ain't one, there is another
00:25:42I'm the shady splendor and frown
00:25:46Just a lady who's been around
00:25:51She ain't got an enemy in the town
00:25:58If it ain't one man, there's another
00:26:08Undertaker, face long and sad
00:26:12Tried to shake her, that made her mad
00:26:16Ain't been gotten, but he's gonna be had
00:26:23If it ain't one man, it's another
00:26:33Round the world, that gal made her swing
00:26:37She got famous doing that thing
00:26:42Wet in fire, the queen was hiding the king
00:26:49If it ain't one man, it's another
00:26:59Traveled every land, every time
00:27:03She told Gandhi when in his prime
00:27:08Dark and handsome, come and see her sometime
00:27:15If it ain't one man, it's another
00:27:25On her tombstone, Saint Cerise
00:27:29Walked dead stiff, she was a fool
00:27:33Gone to Hades to give the devil his due
00:27:40If it ain't one man, it's another
00:28:03Hey, you showed about as much pep as a nervous oyster. What's the matter? Too much navy on the booth?
00:28:08Oh, I don't know. I guess it's the heat.
00:28:10Well, you'll be in a hotter place someday.
00:28:14Jerry, not so bad, but next time, give them all you got.
00:28:17No rainy days down here to save anything for.
00:28:21Jordan, you're on next. Come on.
00:28:24On the up-and-up, kid. You never played a cabaret before, did you?
00:28:27No. Only college shows.
00:28:29I knew you were lying. They all do.
00:28:32Well, you're on the spot now.
00:28:35Honey boy, there's the one I mean.
00:28:43Oh, yeah, yeah, you mean this one?
00:28:46Oh, yeah, yeah, you mean this one?
00:28:52Oh, yeah, yeah, you mean the one with the glasses?
00:28:57Well, that might be the case.
00:28:59All right, sucker. Now there's two of you.
00:29:08And now, pikers, I'm going to introduce the answer to a traveling salesman's prayer.
00:29:14She can go up and down the scale faster than a Wall Street van.
00:29:17She's been a hit in New York and Chicago and other foreign countries.
00:29:21So get a firm grip on your blood pressure and meet Miss Dale Jordan.
00:29:26Miss Dale Jordan.
00:29:56Say, listen to that kid sing.

00:30:29I feel oh so weak and willing
00:30:32Oh, tell me what can it be
00:30:36Something that makes a no man
00:30:40Get busy with his feet
00:30:44Something that makes a tall man
00:30:47Get busy with the heat
00:30:51There's something in the air
00:30:54That's holding me close and closer
00:30:58I know that I can't say no
00:31:01Oh, tell me what can it be
00:31:05There's something in the air

00:31:33Something that makes a teacher

00:31:55It has me within its clutches

01:01:38Only ten more days in that burger joint.
01:01:40Oh, stomach, be good to me now.
01:01:43Oh, Jerry, why don't you keep your own money?
01:01:44I don't like the responsibility for all of it.
01:01:46Oh, you don't know me like I do.
01:01:48A dreadnought's liable to come into port.
01:01:51I'll wake up to find I've been out in a binge
01:01:53and bought the grog for the whole fleet.
01:02:00Come on, baby, give us a sweet little kiss, huh?
01:02:03Let me go.
01:02:04Give us a kiss, huh?
01:02:10You blame it on my customers and friends or get out.
01:02:13I'm here to sing, not to be mauled by a lot of drunken sops.
01:02:17Is that so?
01:02:18Well, I don't want no lilies around here.
01:02:20You're through.
01:02:21Get out.
01:02:23Hello, Burger.
01:02:24Hello.
01:02:25Indian Joe around?
01:02:26Well, why do you want Joe?
01:02:28Plenty.
01:02:29Another knife in about the dock.
01:02:52Come on, Joe, the captain wants to talk to you.
01:03:22Jerry!
01:03:23Oh, Jerry!
01:03:44You can come in for a minute, Miss Jordan,
01:03:46but please don't excite the patient.
01:03:48She's a little weak.
01:03:53Jerry, honey.
01:03:55How are you, Dale?
01:03:58Number one could only see me now.
01:04:01You're feeling better, aren't you?
01:04:04Sure, I'll be OK.
01:04:07It's a knife, more or less, in your gizzard.
01:04:09Listen, kid, I want you to promise me something.
01:04:11Of course, Jerry.
01:04:13Anything.
01:04:15Don't you give old sore bones or this joint
01:04:17any of the dough we saved up.
01:04:19I want you to buy yourself a ticket and scram for Frisco.
01:04:22Oh, no, Jerry.
01:04:24I couldn't do that.
01:04:26Oh, you wouldn't?
01:04:27You wouldn't?
01:04:28You wouldn't?
01:04:29You wouldn't?
01:04:30You wouldn't?
01:04:31You wouldn't?
01:04:32You wouldn't?
01:04:33You wouldn't?
01:04:34You wouldn't?
01:04:35You wouldn't?
01:04:36You wouldn't?
01:04:37You wouldn't?
01:04:38You wouldn't do that?
01:04:39Do what I tell you.
01:04:40Be a sap.
01:04:42This joint can't throw me out.
01:04:44Let them stand the gaffe.
01:04:52I'll come to see you every day, honey.
01:04:54All you have to worry about is getting well.
01:05:01Don't forget what I told you.
01:05:09She's still pretty weak, isn't she?
01:05:11Yes.
01:05:12I am afraid it's going to be a long convalescence.
01:05:15She lost a great deal of blood, you know.
01:05:17What do you think we ought to do for her?
01:05:19What she needs most is sunlight, proper nourishment,
01:05:22and treatment.
01:05:24The place for her is a sanitarium.
01:05:27How much will that cost?
01:05:29We have one near here.
01:05:31But the rates are rather reasonable.
01:05:33I'm afraid it's going to be a long convalescence.
01:05:37All right, doctor.
01:05:39You make the arrangement.
01:05:45The hospital bills are payable in advance.
01:05:48The total is $174.
01:05:51The hospital bills are payable in advance.
01:05:54The total is $174.
01:06:09Here's $150.
01:06:13I'll get the rest.
01:06:16Somehow.
01:06:21I'll get the rest.
01:06:51I'll get the rest.
01:07:21I'll get the rest.
01:07:51I'll get the rest.
01:08:21I'll get the rest.
01:08:43Come in.
01:08:45Tom!
01:08:46Fidel.
01:08:48I thought you were ill.
01:08:50Come in.
01:09:08What?
01:09:09What a little mink.
01:09:11She's up in the hospital now.
01:09:15You...
01:09:17You came all the way down here
01:09:19to see me?
01:09:21Yes.
01:09:23Tom, I...
01:09:25I want to explain to you about Mr. Crosby.
01:09:28You don't have to explain anything to me, dear.
01:09:30Excuse me.
01:09:32I reckon it's how you dropped your bracelet.
01:09:43Thank you very much.
01:09:50Hello?
01:09:52Hello, Jerry.
01:09:54Dale, he's back.
01:09:56He's back.
01:09:57Who?
01:09:58Who's back?
01:09:59Number one.
01:10:00My ship's come in.
01:10:07And guess what?
01:10:09Olaf's an admiral.
01:10:12He's a captain.
01:10:14He's a captain.
01:10:16He's a captain.
01:10:19In the Chinese Navy.
01:10:23Oh, Olaf.
01:10:25Tell me something in Chinese.
01:10:32I love you.
01:10:34Olaf.
01:10:48THE END
