Five Came Back Page #3

Mexican food's too hot for me.

Oh, but this isn't

Mexican. It's Chinese.

The chef's a very good friend of mine.

Then we should get

some good service, eh?

This your first trip to south America?

Yes.

You see, um...

very urgent business.

That's right. Some very urgent business.

Mr. Ellis, if I had a good-Looking

secretary like miss Melhorne here,

I'd have trouble keeping

my mind on just business,

Even though it were urgent.

You know, I always make it a rule

Never to mix business with...

romance.

Then this! Is

strictly a business trip.

What did you think it was?

Now, Alice, don't embarrass Mr. Brooks.

Hello, Mr. Joe.

Hello there.

Bring you something good

for breakfast this morning?

This is Ching,

The best Chinese cook

this side of san Francisco.

You'd better let me order for you.

Fine.

Thank you.

Winning?

Nope.

You won't, either.

Why?

'Cause that's one

racket you can't win at.

How do you know?

I used to know the man who makes them.

You should know how to beat them.

I do... Don't

play them.

You speak Spanish. Could

you order breakfast for me?

Yes, I could.

The waiter here is Chinese,

and he speaks English.

I've got a lot to do. We're

taking off in a few minutes.

Say, Pedro, what are those?

For the oil company in panama city.

Air express.

They must need them in a hurry.

I could have a lot of fun

with the express charges.

Me, too.

Put them on board.

When your old man finds out

you ain't drinking any milk,

What's he going to say?

I don't want it.

You go ahead and drink

your milk like a good boy.

I'm taking care of this kid.

If I need any help,

I'll ask for it, see?

Sorry.

You go ahead and drink your milk anyway.

Don't drink it so fast.

You'll get indigestion.

Look, it's a kitty!

Look, Mr. Crimp, a

black cat... An ill omen.

You're not going to

have the best of luck.

But this cat crossed in front

of both of us, my friend.

Time to go.

Yep.

Oh, no, this is on me.

Oh, no, really, you shouldn't do that.

Quite all right.

Thanks very much, Juan.

Here, keep the change.

Thank you.

Not at all. It was my

pleasure. Thank you.

Uh, excuse me. Aren't you Judson Ellis?

Uh, yes.

I'm the American pressman from Tampico.

You're miss Melhorne, ain't you?

We don't have anything to say.

Come on, Judson.

Oh, Ellis. No need denying anything.

We got a wire from new York

that you were on this plane.

Yeah, your old man talked plenty,

Practically busted a

blood vessel doing it.

Yours, too.

You may quote us the same.

We have nothing to say.

All we want to know

is why you're eloping.

The newspapers are full of it anyway,

But we want to get

your side of the story.

We'd like to give you a break.
