The Flame of New Orleans Page #2

Oh, well-

When a day start wrong,

it look like everything happens.

First that old man who

turned the carriage over,

and now this awful person.

[Door Closes]

Clementine, I'm going!

If the countess doesn't want

to see me, I don't want

to see her either.

Tell her that!

Madame is too softhearted.

Family trouBle?

Yes, sir.

Who is she?

I can't tell you.

I just can't.

And good-Bye!

[Door Slams]

A woman alone is helpless.

I'm not going to let

your attacker go unpunished.

But I don't know

what he looks like.

I only saw his feet.

His feet?

[Chuckles] Enough.

Now, look carefully.

Are those the ones?

No.

That eliminates him.

Every night,

we'll eliminate one person.

There are a hundred thousand men

in New Orleans... with feet.

[Chuckles]

[Orchestra:
Circus]

[Chattering, Laughing]

Did you see that?

I can do that.

Aw, it's a trick. He puts

that sticky stuff on the rope.

No, no. The sticky stuff

is on his shoes!

No, no. I know the secret.

The whole thing's keeping

your ears on the level.

[All Laughing]

You watch me

keep watching my ears.

May I?

Why, sure.

Hey! Hey!

Don't worry, partner.

I'm worried.

He's Been drinkin' a little.

What's that got to do

with his ears?

[Circus Continues]

[People Gasping]

That's the monkey!

There are the feet!

- I mean, there's the man!

- [Crowd Screaming]

Don't worry,

I'm not gonna fall on you.

I'm sure he's the one.

I'd know him anywhere.

Please don't excite yourself.

I'll deal with our friend.

[Chittering]

[Crowd Screaming]

I'm sorry.

I thought I'd hit the pole.

I'm sorry.

I don't approve of

turning over carriages in the park.

My seconds

will expect yours tomorrow.

Why tomorrow?

My seconds are here.

[Whistles]

You may choose

your weapons!

I get the choice?

You do!

Say, which lady

was in the carriage?

The skinny one?

You have insulted

the countess!

Well, what do you think of that?

What weapons

do you choose, sir?

Weapons?

Oh, yes. Uh-

May I Borrow this?

Thank you.

This is a very unusual

type of duel.

It comes from Trinidad,

the southern part ofTrinidad.

Pardon me.

Thank you.

It's called Rulli Bah Suba,

which means shut your mouth."

The rules are very simple.

A child could follow them.

Would you Be seated?

The important thing in the duel...

is the handkerchief.

Andrew!

[Woman Gasping]

That's yours. Now,

we each take one end

of the handkerchief.

You take the other end.

And you put it

Between your teeth.

Like this.

The important thing

to rememBer is not

to let the handkerchief go.

Can you rememBer that?

Now, you hold your knife

like this.

And when someBody

counts to three,

you can pull the knife
