You have poor instincts, my dear.
It's the other one, Ogden Mears,
who has the money.
He's the son of the richest oilman
in the world, and Natascha's
got him hooked.
Mr Ogden?
He's very attractive.
Only in her case,
she's found oil.
Well, you can have
your big oilman.
He's here today
and gone tomorrow.
But I shall stick to old Papa Clark.
He took me away
from the dance halls.
Listen, Milton...
Pardon me, Mr Milton Clark.
Would you like to dance?
Natascha.
You're very quiet this evening.
Am I? I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
I like quiet people.
They're either clever or dull.
I would say you're
one of the clever ones.
Thank you.
I'd better keep silent.
Well, whatever you do,
it's very attractive.
- Would you like to dance?
- No. I'd like to sit here
and talk with you.
- I regret I speak English so badly.
- You speak it beautifully.
I understand
you were born in Shanghai.
Yes. But my parents
came from Russia.
And now they've moved
to Hong Kong?
My parents died in Shanghai
when I was 13.
- Haven't you any brothers or sisters?
- I was an only child.
Thirteen, a little young
to face the world.
We must all face it
sooner or later.
Some more sooner.
How did you come
to live in Hong Kong?
another revolution. So here we are.
- But let us talk
of something more cheerful.
- I'm sorry.
- Would you like to dance?
- I'd love to.
Congratulations, Your Excellency. You
are now a Plenipotentiary Extraordinary.
Will you ring for the steward
and have him bring some ice water?
Oh.
What's this
Plenni-pli-plen-what?
Just came over the radio.
You've been appointed...
Plenipotentiary Extraordinary
I'll never get away
from the oil business.
You been sleeping
on that couch all night?
What's this?
Telephone numbers.
- And this?
- Some roughneck guy
got fresh with Natascha...
- in a nightclub and you clipped him.
- I clipped him?
- Steward, sir.
Alka-Seltzer and ice water?
Yes, sir.
- Who's Natascha?
- You don't know Natascha?
You ought to. You were pretty
clubby with her last night.
- What do you mean "clubby"?
- From the verb "club."
To form an association
united by a common interest.
- I don't want to hear any more.
Where are we?
- Way out at sea.
- When did we leave Hong Kong?
- Two hours ago.
No, I'm gonna take a bath
and get myself together.
- I'll call ya later then.
- Yeah.
Uh, Hudson.
What are you doing, Hudson?
- Just making a note
of the telephone numbers.
- Don't bother with them.
- Oh!
- I beg your pardon.
Did I startle you?
- Who are you?
- I'm Natascha.
Oh, well, how do you do?
