- Cause for rejoicing?

- Rejoicing?

Doctor, you have lifted the Pacific Ocean

right off my neck.

Now I can go back to Boni-Komba.

How about a celebration?

Yes, you come to Tony's caf,

Seven Sinners in Boni-Komba.

Ho-ho. How frightened Tony will be

when he sees me. But then, he'll celebrate!

How about my cabin for a snack?

A snack is food.

So I ran to the end of the world

and jumped off and here I am.

Mm. So nice and peaceful here.

I don't blame you for running away.

Are you sure?

When the girl married the man

with the money,

- why didn't you make more money?

- For what? So I could buy her back?

Good, I'll tell it that way next time.

- Let me have the story of your life.

- I tell it many different ways.

- Which one would you like to hear?

- Go right ahead.

Well, there's a lovely version about

a little girl from a convent in Marseille.

Get out your handkerchief

because this is awfully sad.

And a young, dashing officer from Saigon

and wedding bells. Ding dong.

He drank like a fish.

He's dead.

Grape juice?

No, thanks.

Wait a minute.

Come up like this every night, will you?

Thanks.

You're a good doctor.

- I might get to like it.

- Then why hurry?

Sleep. Last night was bad, very bad.

I shall miss you very much.

Sure. In the evening.

You must have someone to sit around

and drink all the grape juice.

- I'll be here waiting.

- Yes, when they throw me out.

When you're tired, I'll still be here.

Oh, my smoking career

would get in your nostrils.

That shouldn't make any difference.

Couple of friendly derelicts.

- I'm not quite ready for the word "derelict".

- I'm sorry.

You're the kindest man I've ever met.

Got a penny?

Bye, Doc.

Run aground, miss?

I'll give you a hand.

- Oh, Lieutenant Brent.

- Miss Henderson. Captain.

- Shall we go?

- Goodbye.

- Your father was sorry he couldn't be here.

- I'm sure he was.

I can tell you this, from your father down to

the last guard, the Navy's ready for you.

- Uniforms spick and span, parades.

- Sounds enchanting.

Lieutenant, I shall report you

for want of attention.

Yeah. Huh?

Oh. There'll be no lack of attention.

We've been waiting for you too long.

Shove off.

- Hey, Ned.

- Oh. Hello. I got the bags.

Rickshaw?

I've been saving it for you.

- Caf Seven Sinners.

- Caf Seven Sinners.

Gangway!

Gangway, rickshaw!

Rickshaw! Rickshaw, gangway!

Gangway, gangway, gangway, gangway!

Wait here. I want to talk to Tony alone.

I'll see him, I can sell anything.

Gangway!

Take care of him, Big Boy.

- I can't give you anything but love, baby...

- No.

- That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby...

- No. No.

- Bijou!

- Yes, I've come back home again.
