Somewhere in the mystic distance...
...at the edge
of a mighty imaginary ocean...
...there is a teeming mythical city...
...Port Inferno.
Strange plots are hatched here...
...which will affect the lives
and destinies...
...of two strange persons.
Ormulu. I must speak with the fair one.
- Have you arranged it?
- I can do nothing.
She is as cold as the planet
which bears her name.
You'll try again.
Take these two pieces of gold.
Before the cock crows,
you must bring us together.
I can get a diamond solitaire
That's easy as pie
If I want to travel
I can get the fare
'Cause I know a guy
I can get a mink
With just a wink
Or even less
And I can dig
Gold but big
And I dig it with finesse
I can get a penthouse anyplace
Complete with a view
I can even get as far as second base
And I can bet
A horse and get
Ten thousand back for two
But for goodness' sake
What does it take?
What does it take to get you?
I can put a dervish in a whirl
'Cause I have my ins
I can get to be his favorite pinup girl
'Cause I got the pins
I can get the Maharajah jewels
Without a cent
And just like that
Hang my hat
In the sultan's private tent
I can get a camel caravan
'Cause I know
'Cause I know a sheik
All I have to do to get a man
Is pinch him on the cheek
And I would bet that I can get
A Taj Mahal or two
But for goodness' sake
What does it take?
What does it take to get you?
- Who is it?
- Mr. Ormulu.
- Come in.
- Miss Moon, come on, come on.
The sons of the desert
demand an encore.
Mr. Ormulu, please. I simply can't
go out there till you put out that wolf.
Wolf? There must be some mistake.
In the Cafe of All Nations
we do not serve animals.
Maybe that's right,
but there's one out there now.
All during my number,
he just sat there and stared at me...
...like I was a porterhouse steak
and he had a fork and a knife.
He made me so nervous
cash customers.
I tell you who I'm throwing out.
Those worthless friends of yours.
That Peter Johnson
and that Harvey Garvey.
When our show was stranded in this terrible
place they lent me money, helped me.
Give them another chance.
I will strike a bargain with you.
They shall have one more chance...
...if you will only speak with the ardent one
who comes nightly to gaze upon you.
Very well. He may speak to me.
After the boys do their act.
Excellent. Excellent.
Worthy patrons, due to circumstances
over which I have no control...
...it is my misfortune to present to you...
...those two international artists...
...Garvey and Johnson.
Look at my curtains.
- Where'd the people go?
- Out here.
- Where are they?
- Out here.
All right, pull yourself together.
The table.
This is a little trick...
A little trick that I picked up in my tra...
Over here. Over here.
A little trick that I picked up
in my travels.
It... Now here we have
just an ordinary little silver cup.
- That's silver?
- Nothing... Yes.
- Silver?
- Nothing in it.
- Let me see.
- It's silver.
- That's tin.
- Don't say tin.
- You know that's silver.
- No, it ain't.
- I say it's silver.
- Oh, we're lying to those people.
- Quiet! Silver, friends.
- That's tin.
I say it's silver.
- That's funny-looking silver.
- That's what it is.
That's what I bought and paid for.
- Well, you got tin.
- Don't say tin!
- I know what you got. That's...
- Never mind. When I say silver, I mean it.
- And when I say...
- Don't say that. Just don't say it.
- I ain't gonna say it.
- Say what?
- That word.
