In Like Flint Page #3

- That's extraordinary.

- Ah, it's a toy.

However, we are making

such scientific strides...

that last year's book

is already outdated.

How do you find time to read?

No, no. I wrote that. Already obsolete.

Flint, I've got to talk

to you in private.

Oh, yes. Excuse me, sir. Terry?

- Would you mind...

- Not at all.

Thank you, baby.

Mmm.

Oh.

Now, Flint,

something happened when

I was playing golf with the president.

Oh, the president! Well...

Oh, yes.

I don't know where to begin.

I- It just doesn't seem to make sense.

Well, I'm sure it will, sir.

Just, um...

Well, you know I haven't

been playing up to my game.

- Oh, that's too bad.

- Well...

So the president felt my timing was off.

So he asked me to time his swing

with this stopwatch. Well...

- Oh, I see. So, uh... Yes, uh-huh.

- Yeah.

Flint, it took three minutes.

Now that's not possible, is it?

- Uh, no, sir. It's not.

- No.

The, uh, the watch...

now you've had it checked, of course.

Oh, of course.

That's very interesting.

Would you like me to look into this?

That's what I was hoping.

I can take care of it

in about a week, sir.

- A week?

- Well, why? Is it urgent?

- Well, no, I guess...

- Oh, fine then, sir.

I'll contact you as soon

as I get back from Death Valley.

- Death Valley?

- Yes, a survival test.

- Derek?

- Yeah, baby.

Miss Norton has invited us to be her

guests at Fabulous Face while you're away.

Fabulous Face? What's that?

It's that great new health resort

in the Virgin Islands.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

- It's just a couple of hours to Rio.

- I'll check the airlines.

- Yeah.

- Fabulous Face?

- Besides, you'll be gone that week anyway.

Hmm.

You're very convincing, Miss Norton.

The resort must be quite a place.

Believe me, Mr. Flint, it is.

I, uh, do hope

you'll allow them to come.

- Why not?

- Ladies, perhaps you ought to start packing.

- Well, thank you very much, Miss Norton.

- Thank you.

Oh, sir. Where was I?

The desert. That's right.

Well, it's not really too difficult

to know where to find food.

Food in the de... Thank you.

In the desert?

Oh, yes, sir. It's all around you,

if you know where to find it.

- Snakes, lizards, chiefly edible grubs.

- Oh!

- Grubs?

- Yes, they're found in decaying wood,

under rocks, shrubs.

- Grubs?

- Grubs, sir.

Yes. Larvae, pupae.

Anglicized from Latin vermiculus.

One of the most edible worms

that we have in the western hemisphere.

Have the appearance of macaroni.

Uh, if you'd like some

more conventional food,

how about dinner with me

tonight at Luigi's?

Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

I have some packing to do.

Ah, that's all right.

I'll let myself out.

Oh, well, then. All right, sir.
