A Girl in Every Port Page #4

Huh?

What is your plan, brother?

I just don't get it.

I'm gonna sell Little Aaron

back to Bert Sedgwick

- with some help from Little Shamrock.

- I still don't get it.

You will, and if you don't stop

interfering, sooner than you expect.

What are we gonna be this time?

Buffalo Bill or oilmen from Texas?

- Haven't made up my mind yet.

- Well, don't make me an Indian again.

That time in Arizona I almost got scalped.

We'll leave Little Aaron with you,

you'll never notice the difference.

Then you gotta leave me too.

- OK with you?

- Gracias, seor.

I'll take the horse and the boy.

Well, that's that. Millicent, cast your

eyes upon a reformed racehorse owner.

I know what a sacrifice it's been, Bert,

but you'll be surprised

how soon you'll forget it all.

Anything you say. You don't like horse

racing so it's off. Not a horse left.

Now get in. We don't want you to be late

on your first day.

No.

- Especially since you'll

be vice-president. - Yes.

- Vice-president has such a nice sound.

- Yes. Struggling up from the top.

Well, it never hurts to be engaged

to the boss's daughter, darling.

No.

Come along.

- Isn't it exciting?

- Tell me, uh...

how many vice-presidents have to die

before I'm president?

Don't be silly.

Remember, they're not going to marry me.

Morning, Miss Temple, Mr Sedgwick.

This is Miss Brooks, your secretary.

I chose her myself.

How are you?

Well? Like it?

Great, I, uh... hope I can live up to it.

You will. Now kiss me and I'll be off.

Now what do I do?

- Answer it, silly.

- Me?

Yes?

Tell them to wait. Mr Sedgwick will be

with them in a few moments.

A couple of important clients. You see?

You're already started.

Luck.

Ma'am, sir, I can see that you

all are a fair flower of the south.

Didn't I all meet you at the Kentucky Derby?

- I've never been in Kentucky.

- That's funny - neither were we...

Were we?

You just leave your name and address

with the little lady and I'll be in touch.

I- I guess

we were in Kentucky.

Keep your ears and eyes open for anything

or anybody that sounds like horse racing,

- and report to me.

- I understand, Miss Temple.

Mr Sedgwick, sir, I'm afraid we all have

the advantage of you all.

- I'm afraid you have.

- And if we haven't, we will have.

- Won't you be seated?

- Gladly, sir.

- Thank you.

- Uh, haven't we met somewhere before?

What ship were you on?

- Possibly at Saratoga?

- I was never on the Saratoga. Sir.

Allow me to introduce ourselves.

I'm Colonel Forsyth at your service, sir.

And this is my associate, Mr Blossom.

No doubt you all have heard of us,

we are a couple of Kentucky horse owners.

Uh, from Kentucky.
