Viva Las Vegas Page #2

Synopsis: Lucky Jackson arrives in town with his car literally in tow ready for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix - once he has the money to buy an engine. He gets the cash easily enough but mislays it when the pretty swimming pool manageress takes his mind off things. It seems he will lose both race and girl, problems made more difficult by rivalry from Elmo Mancini, fellow racer and womaniser. Perhaps some singing will help.

I trusted your instinct.

Where did it get me? Nowhere.

To Texas.

It's not the end of the world.

Tonight is another night.

Tonight I'll be on my way

back to Los Angeles.

All right. Now, everybody line up.

Watch me.

Be sure you pay strict attention.

Watch me very closely.

Now, watch me.

Spread...

...step, step...

...swan...

...and push.

Count...

...I'm going to L.A. Right now.

Can I borrow this?

You're going to take the guitar

all the way back to Los Angeles?

What for?

All right, let's try it. Get ready.

All right.

Come on. Don't be afraid.

Come on. Right out there.

Go! Go! Good.

Arms spread. Go ahead.

Very good!

There you go. All the way back.

That's right.

Good. Here come the winners.

Good for you.

Good morning.

I've been looking for you all night.

Really? You must be desperate

to find a motor that needs fixing.

What I really need

is a swimming lesson.

I'm through with lessons today.

- Great. Why don't we go out?

- I have other duties.

- You're using the wrong technique.

- No kidding.

Mr. Jackson?

- May I have a word with you, please?

- Sure.

What's the word?

The word, Mr. Jackson, is money.

You arrived with no luggage

and you charged...

- Hey, Lucky! Hey, partner!

- What're you doing here?

Didn't you get my message?

Swanson will sell the motor

unless we get him the money.

We're leaving now. Give me the bill.

- You fall in the pool or something?

- Long story.

Maybe you got it stashed in the room?

Some dame roll you?

Don't ponic pan... panic, partner.

I'll help you.

- It's no use. The money's gone.

- It is?

That's very good.

Good, Jimmy. Good, good, good.

Good. All right, that's enough.

You can join the others.

Very good.

- I was watching you teach. Very good.

- Thank you.

I've ordered lunch for us.

Will you join me?

Thank you so much,

but I'm on duty right now.

Too bad.

What's this?

Some kind of American joke?

No, it's not. He lost all our money.

That's not a tragedy, my friend.

Now you can drive for me.

Looks like we got a job here

for a long, long time, Count.

Serve him, Shorty.

Ma'am, would you like a lemonade

on the house?

I heard about your money.

I'm so sorry.

- It's only money.

- Only money?

Do you know how hard it is

to earn money?

- But I won it.

- Not win it, but make it.

Well, now that you've got me told,

how would you like to go out with me?

I'm a working girl.

Not tomorrow. I checked already.

I'm on the shift that gets off too.

And I got a whole day

to spend with you. So?

So all right.

- Meet me at the University of Nevada.

- You must be kidding.

What're they teaching you? How to

stack cards and deal from the bottom?

Rusty, I thought maybe
