it's preposterous. I tell you we are

full, there are no accomodations.

And I'd be greatly obliged if

you'd take this evil smelling...

...aborigine out of my

lobby before I swoon.

I'll pay you a thousand a day for

the rooms, food and liquor extra.

Don't you understand that...

Thousand a day?

The keys of the presidential suite.

Hurry you blittering imbeciles,

the keys of the... Take the

gentlemen's luggage.

They have no luggage, Mr. Eustace.

- Don't argue with me.

Hello, my friend! Hey, I see that

fishboat of yours out in the harbor,

I said to me, hey Portugee,

what you know?

Boston Man come back from

Pribilofs. I bet you my life

he don't catch one little seal. That's

what I tell me, what do you think?

I think you told yourself one big lie.

- Wo-hoho, you make big catch, eh?

Fair to meddle in. But we

missed you, Portugee, what happened?

I don't go to Pribilofs this year.

Got no crew, all get shanghaied.

To China maybe, I got no crew.

- Too bad, let's take a look

at those rooms.

- This gentleman is with your party?

This gemtleman is no gentleman. He's

a seagoing thief who makes his livings

stealing seals from the Russians. He

needs a bath, shaves, knows the feel

of good clean linen. When the moon

is bright he stays out all night

and howls like a dog. Then curls up

and sleeps on the floor 'til mid-day.

Is that right, Portugee?

- He knows me pretty good.

I got big surprise for you, I don't

steal seals no more, no.

I got big deal. Very big deal.

Very important Russian

fellow hired Portugee's boat.

We're gonna take Russian Countess to

Sitka. What you think about that?

You make good company for each other.

- Hey hey, is that nice way to talk

about Russian Countess? Hey you, you,

how you like to sign on as first mate?

Cast off, Portugee. For as vinegar

to the teeth and smoke to the eye

so is the sound of your voice

to the ears of an honest man.

Hey, I got good crew,

all New England boys.

Hey I got the best

crew on all Pacific Ocean.

Hello my friends, come,

everybody drink on Portugee.

I treat everybody.

Only Beer.

Hey, amigo, amigo.

- Now, is everything ready?

Everything is ready.

- Fine, then I shall tell her highness

that we sail on the evening tide.

- That's it, hey we gonna sail

on the evening tide.

Hey, where's the bar in there?

We go! We go!

My friend we don't sail on no tide.

- Hm?

I got no crew.

- But you told me you had a crew.

As for to this morning I had a crew.

You see them boys?

Best crew in whole world,

I steal 'em from Boston Man.

Now, no crew. Boston

Man steal 'em back.

I think he's a thief.

- This is preposterous.

Ah, we have two, three,
