Flying Down to Rio Page #3

Well, I tell you, Freddy, old man,

you see, it's this way:

I met a friend, a very old friend

who asked me as a very special favor.

You know how it is.

You'll have to fly down with the boys.

You don't mind, do you? See they

have a dill pickle with their box lunch.

Oh, and send this wire saying

we're coming, and I'll see you in Rio.

"Flying Down to Rio."

Boy, what a title for a new song.

You like that?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

And the very name

for that new number too.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Well, see you in Rio, boy.

Yeah.

Is this the plane of the gentleman

who is taking a lady to Rio?

Yes, ma'am. If you're the lady who expects

to go to Rio with the gentleman in the plane.

My niece is going.

- Kindly conduct us.

- Yes, ma'am. Right this way.

Are you the conductor?

Have you the proper credentials?

Are you married?

You have children?

Why does he not speak?

Is he a deaf mute, or only dumb?

Please, Titia, he's doing us a favor.

I don't know.

He does not appear to be quite right.

Perhaps I'd better go along.

No, you can't. You see, it won't fly

with more than two aboard.

Here we go.

Step right up, miss.

There we are.

- Wait, I have not kissed my niece yet.

- Don't worry, lady.

He'll take care of that for you.

Belinha, do not speak to him

unless it is absolutely necessary.

Oh, dear me. Something tells me

I should never have let her go.

Rodriguez, get them down.

Go after them.

Senhora De Rezende,

I was a good coachman.

You made of me a chauffeur,

but you cannot expect me to be an eagle.

Do I have to fly all the way to Haiti

on a piano bench?

Do l...?

Just a gigolo

Everywhere I go

Was that a close shave.

Wasn't it fortunate this

convenient beach was at your disposal...

...when the motor went wrong?

Or perhaps your plane always makes a forced

landing when you have a lady passenger?

I don't think it's anything serious.

Probably just the gas line.

We should be off in no time.

I'll believe you

when we're in the air again.

- So you're going to be a sap and fix it, huh?

- What?

When was there a better opportunity

for dirty work at the crossroads?

Throw away a part of the motor.

She'll never know the difference.

Listen, your suggestions have been

getting me into messes all my life.

And I'm the one who ends up

getting his face slapped.

All right, but don't keep reminding me

of the opportunity you missed.

Well, I suppose I'll never hear the end of it

unless I do as you say.

This is gonna be more serious

than I thought.

Of course he's deliberately

trying to keep you here.

That's why he picked a deserted island.

Isn't that what you want?

I can't let him know that.

After all, I must maintain my reserve.
