content with three million.

But no. He had to have

that extra $4,500.

And get us in a jam besides.

Rick, did you

say good-bye to Adela?

Saying good-bye to $3 million

was all the good-bye I could stand.

I just wish we knew

what we're going to do now.

I've never been so hungry

in my life!

By the way, didn't I see you

with a new ring on last night?

I thought perhaps

when we got on the train,

we might be able to swap it

for a couple of chops.

Oh, that ring wasn't mine.

I just borrowed it for the evening.

Too bad.

What's the matter with us, anyway?

Why can't we ever own anything?

Nobody ever owns anything

except nice, dull people.

And they always get on to us

sooner or later.

Yeah, we're too well-dressed.

Hmm. That won't last long.

I doubt if there's a dressmaker

left in Paris who'll stake us anymore.

Marmy will always find you

clothes somehow, don't worry.

Bravo. Bravo.

He thinks we're sweethearts.

- Rick?

- What?

Did you ever know anybody

who married for love?

I mean where... where somebody

who didn't have any money

married somebody

who didn't have any money.

What did you say they married for?

Well, for love. You know.

No.

No.

Do you think people like that

are ever happy?

Anything particular in mind?

Oh, no, no.

I was just thinking.

Well, there's Marmy and Sahib.

They seem happy enough,

and I can't think when

they've ever had any money.

Oh, they're different, though,

poor darlings.

How?

Oh, both a little barmy.

I mean just normal people,

people who work for a living.

What are you getting at?

What's happened to you, anyway?

Why? What do you mean?

What are you

getting so soft about?

Soft? Well, I don't know

what you're talking about.

It's only... only...

Only what?

Only... I didn't even say good-bye.

Oh, you're not in love

with that Scotsman, are you?

Oh, how could I

be in love with him?

He hasn't any money!

Then I can't think

what you have to cry about.

Neither can I!

I wonder how long

it takes a person to starve to death?

Just depends. I've known some

to drop off in a fortnight.

Who do you think will last longer,

Marmy or Sahib?

Oh, Marmy.

I think the Sahib will.

He's more optimistic.

Well, Marmy's tougher.

The Sahib's a better bluffer, though.

He'll overplay his hand

like he does his cards,

and he'll be dead

before he knows it.

This way, sir.

Police. Cheating at cards.

Fortune hunters.

Bengal Lancers.

- Oh.

- Oh!

Oh!

- Come here.

- Why... why, hello, Duncan.

Where did you come from?

And don't try to be offhand with me,

George-Anne. I'm very, very angry.

I had to take

a flying machine to catch you,

and I cannot afford to hire

flying machines to chase you about.
