Week-End in Havana Page #3

Synopsis: A ship company employee, Jay Williams, is sent to Florida where one of the company cruise ships is stuck on a reef off of the coast. He obtains waivers from all of the passengers with the exception of Nan Spencer, a department store salesgirl who wants her vacation NOW, not later. Jay is instructed to take Nan to Havana and set her up in the best hotel and keep her entertained. She visits a night club where the star attraction is Rosita Rivas, and meets Rosita's worthless manager, Monte Blanca, who makes a play for her. Trouble also comes in the form of Jay's fiancée, Terry McCracken, when a romance develops between Nan and Jay.

Well, how do I know

I'll have a good time?

Well, that we can't guarantee.

All we can do is expose you

to having a good time.

Well, I only hope I have as much fun

as your brochure said I'd have.

Well, I'll- I'll make the arrangements,

Miss Spencer.

Uh, I'll contact you later.

That's all I hope.

But you don't understand,

Mr. McCracken.

She won't sign until

after she's had the vacation...

and she won't sign it then

if she hasn't had a good time.

She can't get

that high-handed with us!

Oh, yes, she can. There's something she knows

about the ship's going aground...

that I can't repeat over the air.

There is?

You mean she could sue us?

- Remember the Calypso.

- All right. All right.

Give her anything she wants

within reason.

Or it might even be a little unreasonable,

just so she signs that waiver.

But don't you leave her side

until you get that signature.

But that'll take two weeks!

Have you forgotten about my wedding?

You can get married anytime.

Now keep in close touch

with me. Bye.

Good-bye.

[ Chorus ]

How would you

Like to spend

a weekend in Havana

Havana

[ Singing In Spanish ]

Ay-ah

[ Vocalizing ]

You'd better pack up

all your summer clothes

I'll see you down

at SloppyJoe's

So long, boy

and ship ahoy, Havana

Havana

Havana

Why, it's so gorgeous.

Well, there is no better suite in the hotel,

and there is no better hotel in the city.

Seorita.

There is no better view

in the whole country.

- Oh, I knew it would be romantic.

- Romantic?

Seorita, there is no place on this earth

it is so romantic.

It's a wonder

the population isn't bigger.

Oh, they come and go,

but the reaction is always the same.

Here we have more alignments of the heart

than any other place in the world.

And there have been

more marriages in this hotel...

than any other hotel

in the world.

- Really?

- But absolutely.

And this is only what you call

a fractional part of the romances.

- Well, uh, what are the best nightclubs here?

- Best nightclubs?

Oh, the Sans Souci,

the Club Corazn, the Midi-

Midi's of course very popular

with tourists.

But personally I prefer best

the Casino Madrileo. Oh.

Of course I've never been there. My information

is only what I adhere to accidentally...

but I have noticed that the people

in the hotel who go there...

- come back latest and sleep longest-

- Ah.

and tip hardest.

Oh- Oh, I'm so sorry.

I forgot all about it.

- There you are.

- Thank you.

Seorita, you will not notice

the slightest difference in the service.

Oh, thank you.

- Oh, hello there.

- Hello.

- Won't you come in?

- Thanks.

- Is everything all right?

- Oh, it's gorgeous. Couldn't be better.

- Just look at the view.
