Who won?
Well, you got the first downthere's one more to go. Come on, we're ready to start right now. Come on. Just keep stiff.
I was never stiffer in my life.
All right, folks, get on your mark. When you hear the pistol shot
Here you are, sir.
What'll I say?
Eighty cents a wordthreesixnine words. That'll be seven twenty, but it's too muchI'll show you how to save some money.
How?
Where do you live?
In New York.
Your wife knows that, don't she?
Sure.
Then you don't have to tell hercut out New York.
"Will be back in four weeks" that saves you eighty cents right there!
That's righthere's the eighty cents for you. I'd rather see you get it than the companysend it right off.
Wait a minuteI think I can cut out a couple o' more words.
How?
"Willbebackinfourweeks." You don't need the "will be." Just say "Back in four weeks."
That's right. I owe you a dollar sixty.
Wait a minuteI think I can cut something else out. "Back in four weeks." Instead of "in four weeks"say "next month"That saves another word.
Right. Here's eighty cents. Send it.
Just a minuteI don't think we need the word "Back" Where <U>is</U> "Back"?
Back is in New York.
Your wife knows that, don't she?
Sure.
Cut it out.
Now we get it down to two words"next month."
Send that.
Wait a minuteWhat <U>is</U> next month?
Next month is June.
Fine! Instead of saying "next month"we'll use one word and say "June."
June? That's my wife's name.
That's great! There's the address and message all in one word.
O.K.! Send that!
Just a minuteYour wife knows her own name, doesn't she?
Sure.
Well, there's no use in sending it. See thatI saved you seven twenty!
Well. I'd rather see <U>you</U> get it than the company.
Their faces are familiarbut not to each other.
Now that that's settled, why not make the game a foursome?
NoI'll take Sally and give you the best of it.
Tell you what I'll do. I'll toss you for herheads she plays with me.
O.K. Heads you win.
That's too bad.
I'm O.K. It didn't hurt much.
I'm sorry to hear that.
That's all right. I'll attend to this.
Wait a minutelet's match for it.
Never mindI'll pay for it now. It'll save time.
Oh, Denbyhave you seen Sally around?
NoI'm looking for Miss Marsh myself. I thought you might know where she is
She was to meet me herewhy don't you wait? She ought to be here any minute.
I wouldbut our rehearsal starts right away. Before I go I want to ask you a little favor. Sally is an important part of my show. Some daynot nowwhen you get a chancelet her come to just one rehearsal. I'll appreciate it.
I don't know what it is, but I won't use it. Is she entertaining you?
I should say not.
Good! At last you're making yourself useful. So long!
I won'tI'll ask for one right now. Sally tells me she's in love with you.
She did?
Yesbut don't ask me whybecause I could never tell you. I don't know what most guys want out of lifebut <U>that</U> would be enough for meI wouldn't care about easy moneyorshowing off my smart brainsI'd just like to live <U>my</U> life so nothing I did would bounce back and ruin <U>hers</U>Do I make myself clear?
Very clear. That's one favor I'll be glad to do you.
O.K., kid I'm only sorry for one thing.
What's that?
If you hadn't agreedI was going to throw you overboard
I think I've met you before, Mr. Brett.
Oh, yes. On the pier.
Before that. Your face is very familiar.
Yours, too. Are you the McKinney, the dentist on Calumet Avenue in Chicago?
Nonot quite.
I'm going to the show
I'll go with you
Care to join us?
No, thanksI never gambled in my life.
This is excitingbut if it's been stolen they can't get away with it on a ship
Some of the smartest robberies have taken place aboard ships
It'll be very interesting to see how you go about solving this, Inspector
Sorrybut I'm on a vacation
If he lets you down I'll try my hand at sleuthing Bet I could find that bracelet
I wouldn't be surprised
I wouldn't worry about itit'll turn up How about a nightcap, Inspector?
No, thanksI'll take a walk around the deck and then turn in
Good night!
Thought you were going to turn in, Inspector.
Nervous. Couldn't sleep. Feel like a nightcap?
How about you?
No, thanks. I've promised to play cards.
You know what I'd do, if I were youbefore the card game I'd go to the Purser's office.
Why?
Well, someone else besides myself may have seen you in the vicinity of Mrs. Rosson's cabin this eveningeven the stewards in that corridor insisted on being searched. Get me?
Sure, I'll go.
I'll go with you.
Swell!
It's easy to see the Purser hasn't had much practice.
How about trying your fine Italian hand?
This has nothing to do with me But always remember, Purser, when you're searching anybody, take the lining of their coat, like this run your fingers all along these seams.... Then back of the collar<U>here</U>that used to be a favorite trickand never forget to put your finger down inside of the shoelike this.
Hey!you're tickling me.
Then we run our hands down a man's arms and legs like thisin case they got what you're looking for attached to a string. See what I mean, Purser?
Hello, young fellow!
Coming to the pool for a swim?
Nooooo!going to catch up on my reading. I'll take this one.
Wouldn't bet against her. Tell you what I will dobet you I find that bracelet before we hit France. Not a hundred, thoughjust fifty.
