The train is in.
It is Paris, madame.
Call me in the morning.
Everybody off the train!
Just when I was
getting to like
the old place, too.
Well!
So this, as they say,
is Paris, huh?
Yes, madame.
Well, from here it looks an
awful lot like a rainy night
in Kokomo, Indiana.
Well, let's wade in.
Can I get
your luggage?
I wish you would.
Where is it?
Municipal Pawnshop,
Monte Carlo.
So long, handsome!
Taxi, monsieur! Taxi.
Taxi. Taxi.
Taxi. Taxi.
Taxi, madame!
Taxi! Taxi.
Taxi, madame. Taxi?
No, thank you.
Taxi? Taxi?
Taxi, madame?
No.
Madame enjoys
the rain, huh?
Here's how things stand.
all around town, and then
tell you I left my purse home
on the grand piano.
There's no grand piano,
no home and the purse,
25 centimes with a hole in it.
That's what's left of
the Peabody stake.
Oh, you have
no money, huh?
That's right.
I need a taxi to
find myself a job. I need
a job to pay for the taxi.
No taxi, no job.
No job, no soap.
But if I do promote one,
I'll pay you twice what
the meter says, see?
Double or nothing.
You'll give me
the honor
of driving you around
while you look
for a job, huh?
That's it.
And for that you'll
pay me double?
Oh, and a great
big-daddy tip.
Oh, that sounds like
good business!
What do you say?
I say no.
Taxi?
Get in!
No!
Get in!
Only now you don't
get that tip.
What kind of work
do you want?
Well, at this time
of night and in
these clothes,
I'm not looking
for needlework.
It'd be easier
to drink this
than read it.
Here we are.
Nightclubs.
What are you,
a dancer?
Did you ever hear of
Eve Peabody, the famous
American blues singer?
Nope.
Confidentially,
she didn't get
to be a blues singer
till she stepped
into your cab.
Oh, let's try
the Bal Tabarin.
Oh, you have
to be pretty good
to work there.
Say,
do you always travel
in an evening dress?
No, I was wearing
What happened, a fire?
No.
The roulette system
I was playing
collapsed under me.
I left the casino with
what I had on my back.
Say, is that your
last cigarette?
Want it?
Thanks.
Matches?
No, I got 'em.
Monte Carlo
booby prize.
Well, that's
the smallest.
I guess mine is
strictly a bathtub voice.
aren't you
wet through?
How far do you
think "through" is
Well, where to now?
Oh, no. Eighty francs
is enough, Skipper.
I'm sorry I got you
into this mess.
That's all right.
Where to now?
Back to the station.
What are you going
to do back there?
Sit in
the waiting room.
Waiting for what?
For tomorrow morning.
This isn't
the station!
I'm going to buy you
a cheap dinner.
Listen, you lost a gamble.
You don't have to feed it.
I don't like
to think of a woman
sitting around a station
with an empty stomach!
Oh, I know! This
is the pumpkin coach
and you're
the Fairy Godmother!
Cut that stuff out.
It's raining.
Come on!
Okay, Skipper.
Oh, wait!
I forgot my hat.
I wouldn't have taken oysters,
only I thought they were on
the regular dinner, honest.
Forget it.
No, it was
a dirty trick, Skipper.
Say, what's your name?
I'm tired of calling
you Skipper.
Czerny is the name.
Tibor Czerny.
Tea what?
Tibor. Tibor Czerny.
I'm Hungarian.
Where I come from,
they'd think Eve Peabody
is a funny name.
Oh, yeah?
May I?
May I?
Oh, sure.
Taxi?
What goes on?
They're beating up
the guy that yelled taxi.
Why?
He didn't
want a taxi.
Then why did he
yell for one?
Because I paid
him 5 francs.
I'm running into money,
