Gracias, seor.

We'll see you soon, won't we?

Hmm.

And how's your health, sweet lady?

I feel glorious. Having fun.

We do manage to have a lot

of laughs together, don't we?

Don't we just? Whoo! Cactus.

You know, I've suddenly become

Quite sentimental about you.

That's the first symptom

of a very bad hangover,

No. This is not Mexican wine talking.

I really mean it.

Let's us get married, Dale.

Brook, darling, I made up my mind

Never to marry anybody

At half past 3:
00 in the morning

On the sidewalk of a Mexican street.

Oh, now, come on. Let's talk

this over calmly and reasonably.

Refuse to argue with you.

You're too good a lawyer.

Why shouldn't you marry me?

Now I'll ask one. Why should I?

There's every reason in the world you should.

I'm a very admirable fella.

Who speaks very well of himself.

Pull in your ears, my lad.

We're off to the races.

Look out!

Oh. Oh.

Miss Dale Elwell, huh?

Si.

And you say you were

coming from the market, eh?

Si, Johnny, I just going on work.

Just going on to work? I see.

Oh, Johnny, what I going

to do? My poor automobile.

First, I'm going to have

a doctor look at you.

No. It don't make no

difference about me, Johnny.

You remember I told you-

Automobile won't go, old Manuel won't go.

Don't you worry. I'll

see that you get justice.

Si. Johnny, and you think

You are going make them fix it real good?

If I can't, I've wasted

five years studying law.

Gracias. Gracias al cielo.

Mrs. Ramirez, your favorite son

Is going to court today

To fight his first real case and win it.

Be careful, Juanito. They are very rich.

They'll be poorer by the price of a truck

Before I'm through with them.

It's my first chance, mamacita,

To show what I can do,

and boy, will I show them!

You going to make them fix it pretty good?

Fix nothing. We're going

to get you a new one.

Oh, I don't know.

That old automobile, she's pretty good.

You just wait, compadre.

If I don't win today,

You got the rottenest lawyer in town.

No.

I got the best lawyer in the whole world-

Even Mexico City.

And what kind of fur coat

Was it you wanted, Mrs. Ramirez?

Don't you never mind about fur coat.

It is too hot to think about even.

porque no tienes, porque le falta

Manuel.

Si?

How can I win this case without you? Come on.

I going, too. Adios.

Adios.

Please, holy mother,

Make it for my Juanito to win his case.

Many times I ask you to help him,

But this time, it would break his heart.

Help him, blessed Mary.

I don't want a fur coat.

I only want him to win.

Your honor.

After telling the plain

facts about this case,

I feel it is my duty,

Not only to my client,

But to the court,

To make just one more point.
