Cheating who?

Don't talk like that, Harry.

You ought to hear the evidence!

I'm busy!

Say...just thought of somethin'...

Come here!

Business for both of us...

Something good...

Want to take a couple of passengers

back with you, on the boat?

- There's money in it.

- I've got passengers.

You can name your own price.

No trouble...I guarantee it.

- You can do a lot with that money.

- Not in jail, I couldn't.

Think it over...

You can name your own price.

An honest man like you...

with an honest boat.

Worth a lot to some people.

Me, I don't care...

I can take it or leave it.

Bein' honest is worth money

to some people.

You got me cryin'!

When are you gonna realise

I'm a friend of yours?

Hey, you want to meet a nice girl?

She just got a divorce.

You're poison!

Think it over...

what I said.

Don't you like cockfights?

All that trouble for an egg!

Sit down!

Waiter!

I'll have a daiquiri.

Two beers.

May I...?

Gold, eh?

My fianc!

Ol for him!

It's the nicest thing

you've ever done for me!

The only thing.

You think Mexico's nice?

It's romantic.

Except you.

Haven't even been friendly to me.

Don't you want to be friends?

Sure, I want to be friendly...

My wife wouldn't like it.

You're kidding!

No.

So you're one of those!?

I don't meet many.

Is she pretty?

She's got something for me.

We're something together!

Spoils everything else for me.

How 'll you know,

till you try.

You two get along alright,

don't you?

You get along fine.

"Sporting Blood" here,

lost a lot of money in back.

He's sore.

Maybe I got a right!

Speaking of money...

How much do I owe you?

It figures out to $830.

Oh, I need cash.

I don't carry that kind of money

around with me.

I can get it for you

when the bank opens tomorrow...

or if you'd rather...

Never mind, I can wait...

you can give it to me in the morning.

We can shove off

any time after 10 o'clock.

I'll need the money though,

so we can clear the port.

Don't worry...

Waiter!

You'll be on the boat, later?

No.

- Just like that!

- Goodnight!

Thanks for nothing!

I hope I never see another rooster again,

as long as I live!

It's 2.30!

We'll never make it back today.

Where are they?

He said a little after 10.

You know what I'm thinkin'?

I been thinkin' it since noon.

Where's Hannagan?

If we're gonna make it today,

we'd better shove off.

He left on a plane.

He what?

I told you...he left on a plane.

I almost caught him...

But when I got to the airport
