His Yankee Clippers band is hired to open the new Hotel Atlântico in Rio and Roger offers to fly Belinha part way home.

- Did you ever hear of a heel like that?

- No.

Thanks.

Julio, I want you to do something for me.

I want you to help me find her.

- Who, me?

- Yeah.

Oh, no, Roger. I could not do that.

- With us an engagement is very serious.

- Serious?

Don't you think it's serious when every time

I think of her I wanna bite myself?

Boy, am I suffering.

Well, here's to her.

And happiness.

Thanks, old man. Thanks a lot.

Hey, Rog? Oh, Rog, the boys are downstairs.

We're waiting for you.

Hey, hey, no more

of that bathroom drinking.

Listen, we have to go and hear

the Turuna Turuna band tonight.

I can't go hear anything.

I gotta go find someone.

Go find someone?

That look in his eye.

You don't mean the senhorita?

After that frosting you got in Miami?

Boy, she made him look

like an angel cake.

Well, I guess it's no use.

I see you've got your hunting suit on.

Say, keep out of jail, will you?

They throw the keys in the bay down here.

So long, fella. Nice guy,

but he takes his work too seriously.

Pardon me, Rog.

I must make a phone call.

Sure, help yourself.

Make yourself at home.

Julio. I was just thinking about you.

But you're going to see me tomorrow night

at the Aviator's Club.

I must see you tonight.

It's very important.

Wait, dear, I'll ask Titia.

Julio wants to see me tonight.

Have him come over.

Julio, darling, I'm so sorry.

Titia says no.

You see, we're so busy.

You do understand, don't you?

Oh, you're such a dear.

Good night.

We are so busy thinking

about a band leader.

Darling, Titia...

...you know I'd never do anything

to hurt Julio, don't you?

But, darling, mayn't I have just a little fun

before I settle down...

...and start having all of those thousands

of children?

Belinha!

What's the matter?

- Didn't she have a friend for you?

- Yes. Oh, no.

- We are just making some plans.

- No, thanks.

There's going to be a ball

at the Aviator's Club tomorrow night.

- I want you and Fred to be my guests.

- Swell. Maybe she'll be there.

It's possible.

Say, that would be a great place

to try out my new song.

Listen, I'll show you how it goes.

I call it "Orchids in the Moonlight."

I wrote it for her.

- It's a nice cozy little spot you have here.

- Thank you.

I personally myself

will escort you to your table.

This way, please.

I also have the honor to visit

your country once.

I play vaudeville.

I played Milwaukee, Cincinnati,

Newport News...

...and Schenectady.

- Schenectady?

- Yes.

- You ever play Syracuse?

- Syracuse, sure. I play four, five times a day.

- Nice work, if you can get it.

- Yes, and the most astonishing thing was...

- Did you play there?

- Yes. No. Yes.

The most astonishing was
