Then you wait

in the hall, too.

Say, thanks.

Back where i come from,

we kind of like to

stay close to our hats

on account of not knowing

when we might have to pull

out of a place right quick.

Forgive me, but you look

so big sitting there.

As far as that goes,

you look kind of

funny yourself, ma'am,

with that white stuff

on your face.

Voila, madame.

Oh, wonderful.

Please serve

monsieur, too.

Oh, i see.

I don't know what

we're laughing at,

but i haven't had

as much fun in a coon's age.

Down in texas,

they told me people were

standoffish in new orleens.

New orleans.

Fixing to learn me

the english language?

Teach.

There.

This is the famous

ragout du rognons,

especially prepared by

monsieur begue's own hands.

Have you got any ketchup?

Ketchup.

In paris now, everything

is eaten with ketchup.

It's the chic thing

for dinner in paris.

Ketchup

for monsieur.

Ha ha ha!

And when

they brought you

monsieur begue's

ragout de rognons

with a sauce prepared for days and days

by monsieur begue's

own magical hands,

you ask for ketchup!

Ha ha ha!

Frenchy, i can't

figure you out.

Is that why you

whip your horses?

Besides, i'm not french. I'm american.

I was brought up

in france.

I'm la comtesse de

trignonai du chenfrais.

Oh, you don't say?

Well, honey,

just to prove

i'm playing square

with you,

i'll tell you

my real name.

Clint maroon.

Now tell me yours.

Clint maroon. Do you

hear that, angelique?

The initials are c.m.

Whoa.

Won't you come in?

Hey, what kind of a

game is this, anyway?

Look, honey,

i was born in texas,

but it wasn't

yesterday.

I told you.

Hey, hold on.

There's no cause

of getting riled.

He ain't there.

Who isn't?

You know who.

He's been there

every day for a week

pawing the ground

worse than his horses,

but he ain't there today.

Go away someplace.

I will.

Go, then!

I'm going. I'd like

to go to paris, france.

You have

my permission.

I'd like to see

voodoo woman.

I'd spell that cowboy

into more trouble

than he ever

dreamed of!

Shame!

Cupidon?

Huh?

What you want?

Like some cake?

Baba au rum,

make it fresh today.

Like another piece?

You want something.

Tomorrow i fix you

creme brulee

or le ta de mer

a la creme.

You do want something.

I find letter today

in the hall.

I guess must be there

many years hiding itself.

What's it say?

Read it.

Heh heh heh!

Why you tear that?

What does it say?

I like that big cowboy

from texas.

He is a beautiful-

to know about horses-

yesterday i heard he won

$1,000 at the racetrack.

At night, he gambles

on royal street.

At number 18,

they say never loses.

Have you

been talking?
