BURKE:
Well, if it ain't the light-fingered
Skippy.
SKIPPY:
(a happy drunk)
Hello, Dan!
DAN:
Hello, Skippy.
BURKE:
(to Skippy)
So this is your hide-out. Hong Kong
must be pretty soft.
SKIPPY:
(nods)
I like it fine.
BURKE:
Yeah, well, ya better walk around
that U.S.A. of America like it was a
swamp.
SKIPPY:
(to Dan)
It's gettin' so a guy can't go
nowheres nowadays without bumpin'
into all sorts of people.
BURKE:
Duluth wants you, Detroit wants you,
Sacramento wants you.
SKIPPY:
I'm wanted everywhere and welcome
nowhere. I'm just a vagabond.
(spots the hand-
cuffs, to Dan)
Ohhh, that's too bad.
DAN:
You can't win all the time.
BURKE:
(to Dan, leading him away)
Come on.
SKIPPY:
Anything I can do for you here, Dan?
DAN:
(off Burke)
Dan and Burke walk off down the street. Skippy calls after them.
SKIPPY:
Hey, flatfoot!
Burke looks back at Skippy with annoyance.
SKIPPY:
Tell those bulls I'm an alien! Ha ha
ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Skippy's laugh is even more irritating than he is. The handcuffed men walk on
-- Burke peeved, Dan understandably glum.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN:
EXT. OCEAN LINER - THAT AFTERNOON
A loud boat whistle blows. A sign reads:
SAILING TODAY:
3 P.M.
S. S. MALOA
TO:
SAN FRANCISCO:
"STOPOVER IN HONOLULU"
We DISSOLVE TO a brief glimpse of the railing on the liner's DECK, then
DISSOLVE TO Dan and Burke, still cuffed, as they approach the railing and lean
against it.
DAN:
Stateroom is like a Turkish bath.
Thanks for the outing.
They mop their faces with handkerchiefs.
BURKE:
Oh, I couldn't stand it myself.
DAN:
Thanks anyhow.
(off the handcuffs)
Say, how long? The cuffs?
BURKE:
I'm takin' no chances. They broke
five of my pals when you escaped.
DAN:
Well, that wasn't right. They did
all they could. They were shooting
at me for three blocks.
BURKE:
Yeah, well, it's lucky for you I
wasn't among 'em.
DAN:
Yes ...
Dan's attention is caught by something: a sailor on the opposite side of the
deck, locking the railing into place.
DAN:
... undoubtedly.
Dan glances around and finds that his hand rests near the locking mechanism of
the railing they are leaning against. He looks thoughtful, then glances at
Burke.
DAN:
I may as well tell you now, I'm not
such a good sailor.
BURKE:
Hmph! Get seasick, huh?
DAN:
Mm.
BURKE:
Well, ya better enjoy everything
while ya can, good or bad.
DAN:
harnessed to you, garlic and all.
Stung again, Burke is about to say something, then changes his mind.
