Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Oh, that's beautiful.

You sound so different

when you speak Spanish.

You know, that's just the way

I feel about you.

And that means I want to hold you

in my arms forever.

And now, please, turn over.

Oh, that's an old South American

expression meaning...

...let's have soft music.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Shall we dine or shall we dance?

- Well...

- Let's dance.

Oh, doesn't this music

do something to you?

Gee, members of the same lodge.

Argentina, Brazil or Nicaragua?

Oh, your friend here says

that he plays all the instruments.

How interesting.

Oh, nice. He has consented

to do a number for us.

- I hope you don't mind.

- Mind?

Oh, he'd love it.

I'll sing too. Jose, come on.

Ladies and gentlemen,

tonight we have a rare treat.

A countryman of mine from South America

is gonna do a number for us...

...accompanied

by his very charming companion here.

What would you like us to play?

Oh, yes. Go ahead.

The orchestra is yours.

Use any instrument you like.

I love those men who go:

Give me a South American drummer

And keep your butcher and your plumber

Oh, let me hear the fabulous fracas

Of the maracas

Give me the guy who strums the guitar

An ocho cuatro to the bar

I'll even take the yokel

From Buenos Aires musicians' local

Who does the vocal

Frre Jacques, Frre Jacques

Babalu! Babalu!

I love those men who go:

They've warned me time and again

But, oh, how I love those men

Those men

Those men

Excuse me.

I love those men who go:

But, oh, how I love those men

- Did I wake you?

- Fine time to get home.

Fine time before I got home.

Where have you been, with whom,

and who said you could wear my coat?

Casa Cugat, Jose O'Rourke and nobody.

Jose O'Rourke? Not one of those

South American polo players?

Not just one of the players, the captain.

I hit the jackpot.

Betty, dear, can't you get in enough trouble

here without going below the border?

Look, Betty. Now, no one wants a nice,

substantial man for you more than I do...

...but these visiting firemen

are strictly on a joy ride.

Now, believe me, honey...

...when you fall hard and they exit laughing,

it's not going to be so funny.

Oh, you've been out with them.

Certainly not.

But, Eve, he thinks I'm wonderful.

He says he's never met anybody like me.

That I believe.

- Betty, dear, you don't know this type.

- Yes, I do.

Tonight was just a buildup.

Next time, he'll show his teeth.

I love those men who go:

Betty, look, please.

Now, put down these animated beanbags

and listen to me.

I want you to promise

you won't see him again.

Nope. I got a date with him tomorrow.

I love those men who go:
