He's been asking for you all morning.!

We'll have to hurry.!

Hey! What's going on here?

This is Mr. Reynolds. How do you do?

Come along. I'll give you another $50!

I didn't know where to find

you! I remembered Shelbyville...

Well, what do you know?

Don't worry,Jennie. It's platonic.

He wants her for his father.

His fa... fo...

Try not to talk.

That's the important thing.

If you don't say anything, you

can't get tripped up. Understand?

I won't speak unless I'm spoken to.

That's the ticket.

A Miss Pennington has telephoned

several times while you were out, sir.

Miss Penni...

Excuse me! Oh!

When she calls again,

tell her I'll call her as soon as I can.

Let's go over it once more. How long

have you lived in Mexico? Five years.

Parents? Just a mother. Left for Boston.

To see?

Relatives.

Remember, try not to talk. I

may have to answer something.

If he asks you a question you're

not sure of,just smile... like this.

You can smile your way

out of anything.

That's fine. Ready?

Shoot.

Oh. Yes, indeed.

My blessings to you both.

Well, thank you.

Hello, Bishop.

Good morning, son.

This is Bishop Maxwell.

And this is...

How do you do?

How do you do.

Have you had your breakfast?

Yes, she has.

Yes, thank you.

Wouldn't like a nice little

steak sent up here, would you?

- No, thank you.

- You could eat it when everyone's gone.

She said no. And she wouldn't

care for a nice cigar either...

which she could smoke

when everyone's gone.

It won't do,Jonathan.

Keep an eye on him, Bishop.

I'll be right back.

Wonder if that ol' witch doctor

has a medical diploma. I bet he hasn't.

How did you find Mexico?

Wonderful country, isn't

it? Yes. Yes, it is.

Yes, I was there quite a while myself.

Almost two years.

Really?

Charming language.

Se dice que los Espanoles

tienen un proverbio.

El idioma Aleman

es para los caballos,

el Frances para los hombres...

y el Espanol para los mujeres.

Yo digo ques los Espanoles

estan en lo cierto. No es asi?

Now, Bishop.

Excuse me, my dear.

That's what they say.

Gloria, I want you

to do something for me.

Go to those columns.

Gloria!

Yes? Ye... Oh. Yes.

Uh, do you see

those columns over there?

These?

Go to them.

In the middle there. Underneath

the panel. What, this?

Yes. Press it with your fingers

as you push it in.

Oh!

There's a little silver knob

in the middle there. This one?

Yes, with the numbers.

Turn it to the left to number 18.

Dad, this is...

Left to 18.

This is hardly the time.

I have 18.

Now 12 to the right.

Twelve to the right.

Dad, this is a family vault.

This is hardly the time

to tell the combination.

Don't be silly.

I'm sorry, I...

I have that.
