Seven Sinners Page #2

It's a bit soon for impertinence.

Turn around.

The funny thing about rudeness -

when I say it, it's impertinence.

- When you say it, it's importance.

- You talk too much. Hold still. Cough.

Inhale. Inhale.

What's the hurry?

The next stop is a week from now.

- Right, but you're holding up a lot of people.

- We're just human junk to you.

But we do come in handy.

Turn around.

- What's your name?

- Bijou.

- Bijou what?

- Just Bijou.

- For my friends.

- Hmph, Bijou!

Yes, Bijou. Wouldn't you be lonesome

if you had no Bijous to kick around?

Bijou, Bijou.

Bijou, yes, there it is.

- "Deported. Health A1..."

- All right, I can read.

- Aren't you used to being deported?

- I am. You can get used to anything.

You can get used to the plague

but I don't like it.

Wait a minute. I'm no plague.

Maybe I haven't been cordial...

- Cordial?

- All right, so I've been rude. I'm sorry.

- Here, have a drink.

- Oh, no. I've tried that.

And when I try, I try hard.

Well, I prescribe it, it'll do you good.

Better to know what you're doing.

Even if it's wrong.

So long, Doc.

- Health A1?

- Sure, health A1.

- How did it go? Did he treat you rough?

- Just routine.

Good evening, Dr Martin.

May I present you to Miss Henderson?

- How do you do?

- Dr Martin.

She's going to join her father

in Boni-Komba. He's the new governor.

Boni-Komba...

- Excuse me.

- It's my first trip out here. I'm very excited.

- I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. Good night.

- Good night.

Oh, you want a performance, huh?

Genius, perform for the lady.

We enjoyed it too.

- I didn't mean to hurt her feelings.

- Oh, I wouldn't worry. I'll tell her.

Oh, please, do, will you?

Sumatra, out. Java, out. Boni-Komba, out.

- Mapping a campaign?

- No, a retreat.

I'm running out of islands.

This isn't a professional visit.

I just wanted to tell you that the young lady

up on deck didn't mean to be rude.

Oh, yeah? Who is the sweet thing?

Her name is Henderson. Her father happens

to be the new governor of Boni-Komba.

I thought you might like to know.

Boni-Komba?

Governor Henderson?

- The new governor.

- She didn't mean to offend you.

If she's the governor's daughter,

she couldn't offend me.
