The Night of the Iguana Page #2

Broken fan belt, three flat tires.

These are the unavoidable mishaps

of any trip, Miss Fellowes.

Won't take more than a few moments

to change wheels.

Says you, reverend.

We're fresh out of wheels to change.

We gotta get that tire off and put on

a patch. Take maybe half an hour.

You take care of it for me, Hank.

Judith!

- I need you!

- Oh, all right, Peebie.

It's lovely, isn't it?

Yeah.

Are you really a man of the cloth, Larry?

- Who says I'm not?

- No one. I just wondered.

How can you ask such a question?

Doesn't Blake's Tours advertise tours

personally conducted by the...

...Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon?

Could they make such a claim

without justification?

I'm so glad you are.

What do you mean by that?

Well, it's such a noble life.

I mean, being interested in people's souls

and all that.

You can bring so much to people.

Someone like me even.

I can talk to you.

Like, I'd never dream of going swimming

with Reverend Hotchkiss back home.

I mean, he's old.

Now, lie down on the back seat, Peebie.

Put your feet up.

- Driver, have you seen Miss Goodall?

- Yeah, I've seen her.

Well? Well, where is she?

He's got her. Out there.

Charlotte.

Charlotte.

Charlotte.

Charlotte.

- There was this boy back home.

- Charlotte.

He thought he was in love with me.

- Really, he made life just impossible.

- Charlotte.

So Daddy fixed it for me to take a trip.

Naturally, he wanted me to be

chaperoned in a strange country.

- Charlotte!

- Life's so odd.

- Yeah.

- lf it hadn't been for that silly boy...

...I might never have met you.

- Charlotte!

- Take my hand, Larry.

What for?

So we don't drift apart.

Charlotte, I command you

to come back here.

Charlotte Goodall.

You only got to come on this trip

because of me!

Charlotte. Charlotte, you hear me?

Charlotte, I know you can hear me.

You are deliberately defying me.

Charlotte!

Charlotte! You stay away from that man!

You hear?

Charlotte, your mother put you

in my charge.

I am responsible. Charlotte!

You only got to come on this trip

because of me!

Charlotte!

Why, Miss Fellowes.

Dreadful girl.

Defied me.

You deliberately defied me!

What did you think we were doing

out there, Miss Fellowes? Spawning?

Oh, you beast! You beast!

You beast.

Hey! Hey, what are you doing?

You... You get out of here!

- My God, it's 3:00 in the morning.

- I've got to see you.

- It's important. My whole life's at stake.

- Oh, well, my job's at stake.

You don't have to worry

about this measly old job.

My goodness. Back home, my daddy's

got three Ford agencies.

At the moment, I don't see a Ford

in my future.

Have you been drinking, Larry?

Honey girl, if I'd been drinking,
