Klondike Annie Page #4

---

Take me to a distant shore

You know the way there

I want to stay there

Ain't coming back no more

Oh, Mister Deep Blue Sea

I hear you calling me

I want to be out on that

Deep blue sea

When you sing like that

you make me tremble all over.

DOLL:
You said you'd protect me,

not wrestle me.

I guess I lost my head.

Better go out on the deck and try to find it.

[Speaking in Chinese]

- What are you two talking about? Me?

- How did you guess?

I was just saying that I was going to ask you

to do me favour in Chinese.

- I don't speak Chinese.

- Maybe you'll do the favour in English.

BULL:
Sure, what do you want?

- I want you to stop at Seattle.

- Seattle?

BULL:
That's 400 miles off of my course.

Besides, you wouldn't like Seattle.

I wasn't getting off, she was.

It's you who wants to go to Seattle. I see.

The Captain's in love with you, I'm afraid.

You're afraid, I'm not.

- Hey, you, aboard there.

- Hey, yourself, what do you want?

- I got something for your Captain.

- Why didn't you say so?

OFFICER:
Where you from?

SAILOR:
San Francisco.

OFFICER:
Frisco. See he gets that.

It's important.

I don't want to be bothered by anything.

Nothing. You hear me? Nothing.

SAILOR:
Letter for you.

BULL:
Where did you get it?

SAILOR:
Policeman gave it to me.

BULL:
The San Francisco Doll.

I've heard of you.

BULL:
Little did I think

you'd be riding with me.

You've been bouncing me around

like a rubber ball.

Making me believe you're a square shooter.

And now I find out you left a guy in Frisco

with a knife in his back.

Playing high and mighty. Treating me

like I got black plague or something.

And all the time, you're nothing but a...

BULL:
For all I know,

you might've carved your name in my back.

What're you gonna do about it?

I'd hate to see a rope

around that pretty neck.

No, I don't think it would be very becoming.

Do you?

BULL:
Doll...

I couldn't give you up

if you killed a million guys.

I'll take your bag, lady. This way, please.

How do you do, Captain? I'm Annie Alden.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

Yeah. Sure. So am I.

ANNIE:
How do you do? I'm Annie Alden.

ANNIE:
Sister Annie, they call me mostly.

How are you?

Looks like you're gonna share my cabin.

ANNIE:
Are you going

all the way to Nome, too?

If this tub don't sink before we get there.

ANNIE:
We must trust in the Lord.

If you don't mind my asking,

where do you fit in this gold rush?

ANNIE:
There are souls

to be rescued everywhere...

and we have a settlement house at Nome.

I thought I was heading for a wild country.

It is, they tell me, very wild.

And that is why we must provide

both material and spiritual guidance...

for those poor creatures.
