is the way you run an office.

Rian!

Baby, heh!

Hey, you've been brushing up

on your shorthand.

You were gone so long!

You said only three weeks.

Mm. Well, now I'm back.

Were you true to me?

Oh, yes!

I do nothing.

Just wait for you.

Oh, that's a good little girl.

Now, where's, uh, where's Vic?

He's gone.

What do you mean, he's gone?

Gone. He left a message.

Don't worry, baby.

We need nobody here,

except you and me.

Uh, Dolores, just for once

will you be a secretary

and give me the message?

He said goodbye, he likes you,

you should drop dead.

Well, where is he?

Where did he go?

To the steamship office

to buy at ticket for Canada.

Canada?

It is good riddance.

Now we could be together

all the time.

Yes, yes, of course.

Now, Dolores, you just catch up

on your sleep

like a good little secretary,

and I'll be back

in no time at all.

Rian!

Yeah?

You will not go away again?

No, no, no.

This time it's for always.

Seventeen hundred,

eighteen hundred

nineteen hundred, two thousand.

The boat leaves in an hour,

Senor Leonard.

You are on 'B' deck, cabin six.

Thank you.

Give him his money back,

he's not going anywhere.

Lock up the safe.

Now, now, now, simmer down, Vic,

I know you're mad,

but I didn't--

Mad? Me?

Let me ask you, would be mad

if your partner took

the last 500 bucks

out of the kitty

to go climb a mountain?

Listen, you blithering

wart hog, I found it!

I found Carrere!

I hope you'll both

be very happy.

Perhaps you didn't understand

what I said.

I'm offering you

half an emerald mine!

Give him his money back.

Will you stop horsing around?

I'm going to Canada.

As for the emerald mine,

you can have my share.

Easy come, easy go.

Just...

It will be a few minutes, sir.

Thanks.

You know, I never saw a man

so anxious

to run out on a fortune.

Well, now you've seen one.

Doesn't money look good

to you anymore?

What looks good to me

is that boat.

You pigheaded old thing,

will you cool down?

Where did you get that shirt?

Oh, never mind about that.

That reminds me.

I checked your duds at the club.

You're too kind. Now,

will you take a look at this?

This happens to be beryllium,

not emeralds.

You call yourself

a mining engineer?

Where there's beryllium,

there are emeralds.

They go together

like ham and eggs.

What about a little thing

called money?

Well, now,

5,000 bucks would swing it

for labor and equipment.

Only five thousand, eh?

That's no problem.

You cash in your ticket.

I'll run it up in no time.

Playing Tejo?

My arm feels hot.

Senor Leonard,

we are ready for you now.

Well, like they say, chum,

this is it.

Yeah. Tell me.

What is in Canada?

The Manitoba Carbon Company.
