How would you like to spend
the weekend in Havana
How would you like to see
the Caribbean shore
Come on and run away
over Sunday
T o where the view
and the music is tropical
Y ou'll hurry back
to your office on Monday
But you won't be
the same anymore
How would you like to go
where nights are so romantic
W here stars are dancing rhumbas
in the sky-ay-ay
If you would like to spend
the weekend in Havana
Y ou better pack up
all your summer clothes
See you down at SloppyJoe's
So long, boy
and ship ahoy, Havana

A ha, Havana, whoo
Come on and run away

Y ou'll hurry back

But you won't be

How would you like to go

W here stars are dancing rhumbas

Havana
Y ou better pack up
all your summer clothes
I'll see you down

All our advertising has been
about the carnival for the last three years.
Now let's change that slogan
for something different.
How about this?
- Mr. McCracken-
- Repeat that, Enrique.
The office is full of people
screaming at me.
- Mr. McCracken, the Queen is on the rocks.
- Yeah!
What? What rocks? Where?
- On a reef off the tip of Florida somewhere. I just got word.
- Is it bad?
Well, it's inconvenient, but I don't think there's
any danger. They're only 200 yards offshore.
Well, what was the captain doing in there
with a whole ocean to play around in?
Well, go ahead with that copy, but take out
the line about skirting the Florida coast.
Adios, Enrique.
I'll be in Williams's office.
- Hello, Dad. Doesn'tJay look wonderful?
- Wonderful.
I've just got word that the Cuban Queen
is piled up on a reef down in Florida.
- How'd that happen? A storm?
- No!
I just checked on it.
It was the clearest night in years.
There weren't any casualties,
but there could be plenty of lawsuits...
and you've got to get down there
and take care of things.
Oh, no, he doesn't.
Jay doesn't leave this town.
Have you forgotten
- I had, but it doesn't make any difference.
- Oh, doesn't it?
No! That ship's worth five million.
Your wedding's only costing 3,000.
You'd better call up
and charter a plane.
Excuse me. Miss Sullivan,
call Eastern Airways and ask them-
Jay, turn that thing off.
This is ridiculous.
What makes you think you have to go
with this building full of people?
- Send somebody else.
- Send somebody else?
Don't you realize what it could cost us
in damage suits...
if this isn't handled diplomatically?
You remember the Calypso Queen?
Just a little accident- nobody hurt.
We neglected to get waivers from four
or five passengers, and what happened?
We got sued for $500,000.
Whenever there's any kind
of an accident...
I always say,
remember the Calypso.
Dad, if you mess up my wedding,
Look, you can get married anytime...
but there's only one time
to get 480 passengers off a reef...
- and that's as soon as possible.
Eastern Airways.
- Tell them you don't want them.
- We do want them!
I want a plane ready to leave for Florida
in 40 minutes.
- He's not going, I tell you.
- Oh, yes, he is going, and I'm- I'm sorry.
Well, what are you doing
on the floor anyway?
Dad, now I mean this.
You haven't the faintest idea
how important this is to me.
Now keep your shirt on, Terry.
He'll be down there this afternoon
and back tomorrow night at the latest.
You know, something strikes me.
so indispensable around here.
If he's this important,
he ought to have more money.
You young pirate. He's getting more
than the other two vice presidents right now.
Well, he's worth more,
or you'd be sending the other two.
All right. All right.
He'll get more.
a gun stuck in my face...
I wouldn't have gone so heavy
on that wedding present.
Now that I've ransomed you,Jay, do you mind
getting ready and getting out of here?
- [Jay ] Right away.
- [ Grumbling ]
Now when you switch reservations,
you have to go through a little red tape.
Will you sign this, please?
It's just a form that says the company
wasn't to blame for the accident.
You'll like the Caribbean Queen.
She's a newer boat.
- Oh, thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- That'll be all. Thanks again.
- Thank you.
- Well, I guess that's about it.
- There's one more-
Miss Nan Spencer in E-76.
- We notified her.
- Apparently she's bashful.
E-76. Is that above
or below the keel?
- Ah, hello.
- Miss Spencer?
- Yes?
- My name is Williams, and-
Oh, I'm glad to know you, Mr. Williams.
Are you Mr. Garvey's friend?
- Garvey?
- Yes. I was dancing with Mr. Garvey last night...
and he mentioned a friend
he'd like me to meet.
- Well, no, I'm afraid I'm not the one.
- Oh, it doesn't matter anyway.
I like the way nobody stands on ceremony
on shipboard.
