His Kind of Woman Page #3

Synopsis: Nick Ferraro, deported crime boss, needs to re-enter the USA. His plan involves "honest" gambler Dan Milner, who's subjected to a series of "misfortunes," then bribed to take a trip to Mexico. En route, Dan meets chanteuse Lenore Brent, truly his kind of woman. But on arrival at posh Morros Lodge in Baja California, Dan finds the ostensibly rich, carefree guests all playing roles...except, possibly, ham actor Mark Cardigan. What does Ferraro want with him? Can he trust anyone?

You chartered the plane, didn't you?

- He can wait.

- But I can't.

Wait a minute.

You forgot your bottle.

You keep it.

It may have a little resale value.

- Mr. Milner, your plane is waiting.

- Yeah?

- It was very late. That's why I did not...

- Take it easy. Nobody minds.

Where's this plane taking me?

You're joking, senor?

- Well, if I am, I don't know it.

- It's the Morro's Lodge plane, senor.

Mr. Milner?

Yeah. And you?

- Tex Kearns.

- He's the pilot.

Your bag's in the plane.

I'm sorry I'm so late.

- These winds have been kind of...

- Yeah, I know. Things are tough all over.

Well, anyhow, you'll get to see

Morro's Lodge from the air...

...in the early morning sun.

It's quite a sight.

- You hop in. I'll be right with you.

- Thanks.

Well, hello again.

Do you mind if we join you

in your chartered plane?

- Did I say I chartered it?

- Didn't you?

Incidentally, didn't you say something

about being poor?

- That was for real.

- You better get out now, then.

- Morro's isn't the place for you.

- Somebody bought me a ticket.

How about you? Are you for real?

You sing like you do it for a living.

Thanks. I'd rather sing

than clip coupons...

...but I have a million dollars,

so no one takes me seriously.

With a million dollars, honey,

it doesn't matter.

Fasten your seat belts, please.

Don't you have a name?

I figured you already knew it.

Should I?

No, I guess not.

I was just shooting the moon.

It's Milner, Dan.

Mine's Brent, Lenore.

- What did you expect to hit?

- You never can tell.

What's this Morro's like?

I couldn't tell you.

This is my first visit.

I spend most of my time

on the Continent. Europe.

- I'll shower and meet you at the bar.

- Okay, Peg.

Lots of ice for me, please.

I think I'll just have tonic, then.

Well, hello there, darling.

How are you?

- Yes, sir?

- Ginger ale, please.

I am Jose Morro.

Hello. Won't you sit down?

Did you find your cabin

completely acceptable?

Well, I found it.

Is there anything I can do for you?

You know, I was sort of hoping

you'd ask that.

I recently came into some money.

This nice new 1000-dollar bill

is part of it.

I'm told there will be more.

- What do you wish to buy with this?

- Whatever it's worth.

A helping hand, information.

About her, for instance.

Well, hello, Liz.

Where did you come from?

Sorry. Wrong name, wrong woman.

- She is beautiful as well as interesting.

- She's beautiful. That's always interesting.

And I understand she has

an impeccable background.

What's that?

Boston, New York, Rome,

Paris, St. Moritz.

I understand you are from California.

Oh, yeah. Pomona, L.A.,

Glendale, Van Nuys. Thanks.
