The Flying Deuces

Oh, that's fine.

- There you are. - Thank you.

Gee, that's swell photography.

Well, we'd better get back to the hotel and get our things packed.

'Cause the boat sails at twelve o'clock tonight.

Not for me it doesn't.

What do you mean?

I've decided to stay awhile.

In fact, if my plans work out right...

I may never go back.

We've got to go back, or we'll lose ourjob at the fish market in des moines.

So what?

There are plenty of fish markets here in Paris.

Garcon!

Oui, monsieur?

Er, another glass of milk.

And two fresh straws.

You know what?

I think you're hiding something from me.

Oh... "Roses are red, candy is sweet“...

"This is something I've sent you to eat."

"Ollie".

Oh, it's too funny!

But the flowers are beautiful.

Oh, candy!

Who is he?

He's the American guest in number four.

But we must not ridicule his generosity. Really, he and his friend are very kind.

- Mr Hardy? - Yes, ma'am.

I want to thank you for your photograph.

You're welcome.

And for the beautiful flowers.

Oh, shucks, it... it was just a thought.

And the delicious chocolates.

Well, I thought maybe you might want something to nibble on...

While you were smelling the flowers.

What are you so happy about?

Stanley, can you keep a secret?

- Sure. - I'm in love.

You don't tell me! Who is it?

The most gorgeous creature in the world.

Georgette, the innkeeper's daughter.

Well, I don't blame you.

She sure is a swell dish.

She certainly...

Yes, sir.

Don't call her a "dish"!

She's the girl that I'm going to marry.

Get a load of this diamond ring.

Boy, it sure is a load!

Yes, sir.

Say, when are you going to get married?

Just as soon as I ask her.

Why don't you ask her now? Then we can all go out and celebrate.

That's just what I intended to do.

We'll get cleaned up, and I'll go down and...

Pop the question.

That's a good idea.

We sure will have a lot of fun, now.

You sure can pick 'em. I never saw anything like it be...

What are you doing with that cushion?

Well, I keep on bumping me head.

See?

Move it in front of the window, where you can stand up.

How anyone could be so stupid...

As to stand there and continually bump their head...

Is beyond me.

Ow!!!

Ooh!

Why don't you stand in the window?

Why don't you mind your own business?!

What is all this?

A holiday of some sort, eh?

It's this. The girls think he's funny.

Yes, this one. Yes.

But remember, georgette - you are a married woman.

And francois is a little bitjealous.

Oh, papa.

He's not serious.

Oh, yes.

- It's just the American way of having fun. - Oh, yes, yes. Might be.

Well, run along, you girls.

Back to your work. Come, come, come, come, come, come, come!

Francois!

Francois.

It is so good to see you.

After such a long time.

Why didn't you let us know you were coming?

I wanted to surprise georgette. Where is she?

Georgette!

Georgette!!!

Shush.

Yes, papa?

Francois!

Oh, darling.

Oh, my darling georgette. I've waited every day, every hour, every minute.

My poor francois.

How I worried about you, way out in that lonely post in Morocco.

Oh, it was lonely. Terribly lonely. But that's all over now.

I've got great news for you.

I've made arrangements for you to join me when I go back.

Oh, darling! I'm so happy.

I'm so happy, francois.

You must be hungry? I'll get you something to eat.

Well? How about a nice, cool drink?

Well, that's great.

It'll just put me in the mood.

Yes, sir.

Throw it over your shoulder.

What can I do for you?

My friend and I would like a bottle of wine.

And bring three glasses.

- Three glasses? - Yes.

We thought maybe you'd like to join us?

You know, I feel as fidgety as a jitterbug.

- You do? - Yeah.

- What's the matter? - Well, I'm nervous!

You know, Stanley? This will be the first time I've ever been married.

Say, now's a good time. Go on, now.

- Why don'tcher? - No.

Go on - tell her. What's the matter? You scared?

I'll tell her for yer, eh?

No - not now.

I know just how you feel. Let me fix it for you.

- I can fix it. Just leave it-—- - shush!

Say, he's got something to tell you.

- Something to tell me? - Yeah.

He's nuts about yer.

"Nuts"?

Just plain nuts.

Oh, oui.

No, I don't mean that. I mean he's crazy about yer.

He's going to marry you. Aren't you, Ollie?

Go on - start popping!

Tell her.

You want to marry me...?

Well... that is, if you don't mind.

Honestly! You make fun of me.

No, he's not kidding. He's on the level.

- Aren't you, Ollie? - Why, certainly.

I was never more sincere in my life.

That's very nice of you, I'm sure.

But that can never be.

Oh, won't you give me one chance, georgette?

Go on. Why don'tcher?

Is there someone else?

Oh, yes.

Very much so.

I'm so sorry.

Well, that's that!

No use crying over split milk.

Well, I guess we'd better be going, eh?

- Come on, we'll... - You go ahead.

What's the matter, aren't you going out with me?

I want to be...

Alone.

Oh. You won't be long, darling?

No, darling. But it's absolutely necessary I report to headquarters.

Will you be back right away?

Just as quick as I can.

Don't worry about it.

You'll get over it all right.

To think... that this would happen to me.

Just at a time in my life when I needed something real.

Something wholesome.

Something...

Tender.

Why don't you try a nice, fat, juicy steak?

That'll make you feel better, if you have something to eat.

You don't understand.

Get me some smelling salts.

Oh!

That better now?

Get-—-

get-—-

it won't come off!

Get this off!

Put some water on my head.

Get a towel!

Ah!

There. Now, is that better?

Make it wet!

Oh!

Oh!

Is there anything else I can do for yer?

Yes!

Leave me alone!

Don't talk to me like that, after all the hospital I've given yer.

Tried to give yer candy an'...

A nice fat, juicy steak.

I've waited on you with your hands an' feet.

Tried to tell you that there's plenty more girls.

You don't have to worry about that.

D'oh!

If I felt as bad as you, I'd go and drown myself.

Stanley, you've given me an idea.

What?

I'm going to follow your advice.

Good.

And drown myself.
