he wouldn't hurt a flee.

Your friend doesn't

seem to think so.

Doctor? Doc does take things

too seriously.

He's been

training fighters for years,

he expects kangaroo

to act the same way.

As a matter of fact, we were both

starting with fighter

when we first met Sydney,

a middleweight named

Tiger Driscold.

We offer a bonus for anybody

who'd go two rounds with him.

One day, this fellow

came along leading the kangaroo.

One punch, just one punch match,

a half of everything

I had to buy.

Well, let's hope your

investment proofs a sound risk.

Thanks. I have a hunch for

blue chip this time.

Are you bound to London, too?

Yes, if this boat

ever gets there.

This is my daughter's

first visit.

She's going to

study for the ballet.

In honor of that, you must be

my guest in Sydney's opening.

Look me up personally,

no charges.

That's very nice of you.

Thank you.

Just ask for Jimmy Sullivan.

James Sullivan,

proprietor

of Sullivan's wonder ship.

I'm Frederick Kellerman and

this is my daughter, Annette.

Annette Kellerman.

You're the swimmer.

Show your picture in the paper.

That was an awful picture.

My daughter had just won the

amateur freestyle championship

of the New South Wales.

Set a new record in the presence

of two thousand people.

Dad. You did.

That's a lot of people.

Swimming is very popular now

in Australia.

I can understand why.

Well, nice to meet you,

Mr. Sullivan.

I hope Sydney's a big success.

Thanks.

Let me call you sweetheart.

I'm in love with you.

Let me hear you whisper

that you love me, too.

If to all my going

in your arms all true,

let me call you sweetheart.

I'm in love with you.

Forgive the intrusion,

would you be interested

in shipboard romance?

Hello.

I've been standing over there

watching you for

the past ten minutes.

I know. Women always know

when men are watching.

Then maybe you noticed

the puzzle look on my face.

And I keep asking myself

how a girl pretty as you

can break swimming records,

and how a girl

who can break swimming records

and insists on

ballet dancing as a career.

What's wrong with a ballet?

I don't know.

I guess I've always

associated it

with long hair and swans...

And I'm more the desk class?

No. What I mean is,

Whatever type you are,

it must be my type.

I meet the girl

for the first time two days ago

and I can't get her

out of my mind.

I keep saying to myself.

Sullivan, this is without a doubt

the prettiest girl

you've ever met.

And a voice come back,

nonesense, it's a tropical night

and the stars.

You have jungle blood.

And then I replied,

and you don't have

hot jungle blood.

You're just a
