Down Argentine Way Page #2

---

For, mister, soon as you learn

then you will never return to Manhattan

Cuando oiga yo te amo

You'll steal a kiss and then

Porque de cualquier modo

It's just to let you know

that you're gonna meet again

I'll bet an old castanet

That you will never forget Argentina

Where there are rumbas

and tangos to tickle your spine

Moonlight and music and orchids and wine

You'll want to stay

Down Argentina way

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk

Tsk

Glenda said it would only take a minute.

What sort of a deal is this?

- It's a horse trade.

- Well, I don't like it.

Write to your Congressman.

It comes under international relations.

I've bought many horses,

but it's never been done this way.

Once you have tried this,

you will never go back to the old way.

No. I think we will be

much more comfortable over there, huh?

- Will we?

- Yes.

I have very much to tell you.

My plane leaves for Buenos Aires in an hour.

I cannot miss it. Therefore I must talk fast.

- I'll try not to delay you.

- Seorita... if...

Aren't you getting into rather deep water?

Why should I deny it?

I'm in over my head already.

The first time I looked into

your remarkable eyes,

I knew that I was lost.

I've flown over the high mountains,

I've gone down narrow rapids,

I've even loved other women,

but never have I been so dizzy,

so-so helpless as I am at this very moment.

It is like a sudden storm over the pampas.

You think you can run. Before you know it,

it is upon you, sweeping you off your feet,

and your heart,

your heart is beating like the storm.

It may frighten you,

but it is too wonderful to miss.

I'm not frightened. Not a bit.

Isn't that horse sold yet? Well, well. Just

an old South American custom, I presume?

Hello, Binnie. This is...

Ricardo Quintana.

This is my aunt, Binnie Crawford.

Crawford? You are Binnie Crawford?

Yes. I cabled you about buying some horses.

I wanted to start a stable,

but my riding teacher got married.

Besides, I got an archery set

for my birthday. I was 32 last month.

She's your aunt on your mother's side, no?

No, on my father's side.

Oh, then you are also a Crawford?

Yes. Glenda Crawford.

Evidently you don't care for it.

Yes, I do. I like Glenda very much. For the last

name I would have preferred something else.

- Have you ordered?

- I'll have a martini.

- A sirocco for me.

- What is that?

- Straight brandy with a cherry.

- I'll have that with no cherry.

I'll have the cherry. It doesn't matter,

but Jimmy's about to blow a gasket.

I'll go in. If you have a bill of sale,

I'll give you a cheque.

Oh, yes, of course, the bill of sale.

I-I do not know quite how to say this,

but it is something that must be said.
