"Are you still living?"

Say I've never been better, and to come

here for dinner this evening.

And that it's urgentissimo. And that

I'll dispatch a boat around sundown.

Urgentissimo... like

everything else this summer.

The b*tch would have me

over here at high tide

so's that I should get up there

looking like a bit of seaweed...

Well, no comment?

hurry up

The Witch of Capri has landed.

Hey, what's this third place at the table?

Are you having dinner with us?

No, thank you.

Well, who's the third place reserved for?

The man in the pink villa.

I thought he'd be dining with you.

Well, you thought wrong. He's having no

meals with me till I know more about him.

The Witch should be able to give me the

lowdown on this mountain climber.

Yahooo, yahoooo... yahooo. Sissie!

Billy!

Uh...

don't tell me we're going to

have a Chinese dinner!

This isn't a Chinese costume,

it's a Kabuki costume.

That so...

Yes, it's, um, some centuries old.

Hmm- don't you feel ancient in it?

Hahaha... No... no, no, no, no.

Actually, I studied Kabuki once.

That's right, I became quite good at it.

Is that so?

Umm. I was the guest artist

at a relief thing for...

tycoon, or typhoon victims.

I can still do... watch...

Haha- I have a touch of,

er, neuritis tonight.

I'm suffering too, Sissie.

The sea is full of medusas -

you know, those giant jellyfish that sting.

One of them got me today.

Ah- what did he do with you,

or would you rather not say?

Have a gull's egg, Bill.

Oh, no, I can't stand gulls.

We eating their eggs cuts

down on their population.

What is this monster of the deep?

It has a very horrid expression.

Well, don't look at it. Eat it.

I couldn't possibly.

Are you still living on

blood transfusions, Bill?

Not good, turn you into a vampire.

Your neck's much too thin, Billy love.

Is it true that you had all

those monkey glands

or shots, or whatever

they are in Switzerland?

I don't approve of it.

It keys you up for a while, and

then you have a complete collapse.

What did they say at

the hospital, Sissie?

I just went into the hospital

for a regular checkup.

The doctors were disgusted

with my good health.

When you called me this morning,

I was so relieved I could die,

I shouted a silent "hallelujah"

to myself.

I've heard some very disturbing

rumors about you, Sissie.

Rumors? Such as what rumors?

I love you too much

to repeat them.

Repeat them. Astonish me with them.

Well... this party you

had over from Capri...

Last month went back to Capri...

babbling about poor Sissie.

They said they couldn't sleep here

because you spent the whole night

shouting over loudspeakers and
