Charlie Chan in Panama Page #2

---

One clumsy move

could ruin everything.

Everything.

- Well, may I take this?

- Thank you.

Fasten your safety belts, please.

We're taking off.

- I'll put this out of your way, sir.

- Thanks.

Oh, my my cigarettes are there.

- I'm sorry. Smoking is not allowed.

- All right.

Isn't this exciting?

Oh, look. There's our ship

just going through the first lock.

- Oh, I can't get up.

- You may unfasten your belt

until we're ready to land.

Here. Sit on this side.

Please do.

- This your first glimpse of the canal?

- Yes.

It's rather a shame

to fly it the first time.

It looks so insignificant

from the air.

When you go through it by boat, you realize

what a gigantic piece of engineering it is.

That's what I've heard

I'm sorry I missed it

Were you on that ship?

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

[Finch]

I can't help thinking of those poor sailors

who used to have to sail ships

all the way around the Horn

What if they could see us now?

It seemed fantastic enough

when the canal was built...

and they cut the transit

down to 10 hours.

Precisely. Not satisfied with that,

we want to fly it.

Stewardess,

when shall we be in Balboa?

- Twenty minutes, sir.

- Imagine!

[People Chattering In Spanish]

- ## [Singing In Spanish]

- [Chattering]

[Boy]

: Un nmerol

Un nmero, seor?

[Boy]

Nmero?

- Un nmero?

- No. No, thanks.

Ror favor Lotera

##[Singing Continues]

Thank you, seor.

Monsieur Godley.

Going to buy a hat?

Yes. They tell me this fella

makes fine panamas.

Oh, yes. And come to me

for the best cigarettes.

You bet.

Where's the boss Fu Yuen?

Fu Yuen speaks and offers welcome.

How can I best serve

most honorable patron?

Uh, gentleman would like

panama hat. Please.

Try this one for size.

Oh, excuse, please.

This one mine.

Gentleman seek headgear

for sports activity, for formal wear?

Or perhaps businessman special.

I hear you're a man of many friends.

Thousand friends too few.

Do you have enemies?

One enemy one too many.

I guess we understand

each other, Mr. Chan.

- Rlease, name is Fu Yuen

- Sorry

Uh, try this one, please.

Good afternoon, seor.

Good afternoon, Fu Yuen.

In Panama, walls equipped

with eyes as well as ears.

You can't be too careful.

Washington has a pretty straight tip

that there may be an attempt at sabotage...

when the fleet passes through the canal

tomorrow night.

Humble self responsible for tip.

Notice large increase

in number of secret agents...

after fleet ordered back to Pacific.

Anything more definite than that?

Regret to report

nothing definite enough to act upon

Maybe I can help you.

We've learned that the person

who sabotaged the Eldridge dry dock...
