Charlie Chan in Panama Page #6

---

Eh, just think. Only today,

we were on the same plane together.

Oh, it is too bad. I

Gentleman complain

of being sick on plane?

Well, I do not know.

I was asleep most of the way.

Ah, General. Greetings.

I have a fine table for you. Come.

You're kinda curious, aren't ya?

You'd better come go with me.

- No! Let me go! Let me go!

- Hey, Corporal!

- Corpl Corpl

- Let me gol I've done nothing wrong

- What's the idea, sailor?

- I don't wanna start no spy scare, Corporal

but this girl here, she's

she's trying to pump me about the fleet.

Yeah? Well, what

does she wanna know?

She wants to know the exact time

the fleet goes through the canal.

- Oh, she does?

- Just a minute, Officer. This is ridiculous.

- I'll vouch for this girl.

- Who are you?

I'm Cabot, new superintendent

of the Miraflores power control.

- That cuts no ice here. You come with us.

- What has happened here?

Oh, the police.

Who cause trouble in Manolo's Cabaret?

They're arresting

Miss Lenesch as a spy.

- But for why? She is a singer.

- Yeah?

Well, why does a singer want to know

the exact hour the fleet goes into the canal?

Is that why you arrest her?

My good man, this is Ranama

Everyone is interested in the coming

and going of ships It is our living

And with the entire fleet coming in

perhaps to anchor, well [Chuckles]

You can understand

why a pretty singer...

she is interested in the sailors

who would come to hear her sing.

- Is that all you had on your mind, sister?

- Of course.

I didn't know it was wrong

to ask questions.

Well, I guess there's

been no harm done.

- Of course not.

- All right, get back to your dancing, folks.

- Have a drink with me?

- No, thanks. Not while I'm on duty.

- ## [Orchestra Resumes]

- Sorry, lady. Can I buy you a drink?

I'm cutting in here, sailor.

Let's find a quiet place.

Miss Lenesch, it's none

of my business, I know, but

- Is there any way I can help you?

- Help me?

Why, thank you,

but I don't need any help.

You're frightened of something.

What is it?

But I'm not. I assure you.

Why are you working here?

I must earn money to live.

You're a stranger to this country,

and that's the reason I'm talking like this.

Oh, please don't misunderstand me,

but this is no place for you.

- Why, it's just a dive.

- I know.

Do you have to work for Manolo?

Do you have to?

Please, if you really

want to help me...

don't ask any more questions.

- All right.

- Thank you.

[Roliceman Shouting In Spanish]

This is a high-class place.

You're gonna like it.

- Ah, Miss Finch. You have keep your promise.

- Ohl

- Welcome to Manolo's

- Thank you

Well, now, this doesn't

look so wicked

Ah, you have looked
