The Big Steal Page #3

to army officials.

I trust we shall soon

see each other again, Captain...

- Blake.

- Yes, Captain Blake.

- My English is improving, no?

- Oh, yes, Inspector.

I'll tell you a little story, in English.

Once upon a time, there was a cat

who had a little mouse right in its paws.

But he let the little mouse go

that later he could follow that little mouse

into a group of other little mouses.

Mice.

You're a clever cat, Inspector.

So is the mouse.

Please let go of me.

I don't like being mauled.

- This isn't mauling, it's called hanging on.

- Whatever it's called, I don't like it.

Well, you'll have to learn to

if you're not gonna break down

and tell me where

that friend of yours went.

I said I didn't know.

And I said I didn't believe you.

You must know something.

I do. You have the worst manners

of anyone I've ever met.

Come on in here.

Blake?

No habla Spanish so good.

I speak English good.

Oh, what a break.

I'm Captain Blake

of the United States Army.

I need your help, Inspector.

In what way can I help you, Captain?

I'm looking for a man named Duke Halliday.

He arrived on the Santa Maria

a couple of hours ago.

He might be using an alias, probably is.

I hate to interrupt you,

but can I see your credentials, Captain?

Well, unfortunately, I had an encounter

with Halliday onboard the ship.

- He pulled a fast one on me and stole them.

- I see.

However, if you'll get in touch

with Army Headquarters

and ask for a description

of Captain Vincent Blake,

you'll find a crescent-shaped scar

indicated on my record.

- That won't be necessary, Captain.

- Thank you, sir.

I had extradition papers,

but he took them, too.

I'm sending for duplicates.

May I proceed before they arrive?

- You have my permission.

- Good.

When I find him, I'll let you know

so that you can make the arrest.

- Good luck, Captain.

- Good day.

Good day.

What means, "He pulled a fast one"?

Copped a Sunday.

Strange language, but colorful.

Call the American Consul and get

the complete report on Captain Blake.

The cat reaches out

with his other paw, huh?

To toy with another mouse?

- Shall we follow the mouse?

- Yes.

Better no.

Let us rush to the airport instead.

Yes, Inspector.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Oh, I just thought you might be lonely.

- Just step all over me.

- Sorry, I just don't like women drivers.

I rented this car and I'm responsible for it,

and you can't come in...

Well, what do you know? A road map.

With the route marked nice and clear.

Being a moderately intelligent fellow,

I can only come to one conclusion.

You follow the pencil line

and we find Fiske.

Uh-uh, uh-uh.

You're too young to read a map.
