My dear, and I had to walk

back through the jungle!

Wait'll the folks back in

Richmond hear about this.

Aren't you gonna drink

your pineapple juice?

When Mr. Carson comes in,

will you tell him I want to see him?

Yes, madam.

You didn't believe

a word of it, did you?

Did you expect me to?

No.

But there was a guy

on the next plantation,

even though he wasn't my brother.

and that story about

the boat's all true, see?

I haven't any connection

here at all,

whether you believe it or not.

Why Denny, you're all shaved

and dressed up fancy!

You even smell good.

What have you been telling her?

You don't think I'd...

Say, I know when to keep

my mouth shut. - I hope so.

I merely said I came

from the next plantation

and the boat broke down.

She'll believe that

if you'll back me up.

I don't want to crawl in and

dirty up her goldfish bowl.

Now listen, this woman's decent.

You watch your language and stop

running around here half-naked.

- I'll stay as comfortable as I like.

- You'll go back to Saigon.

On what? That speedboat

stuck in the mud?

No. Slung in a hammock

through the bush.

Oh, I see.

Two weeks in the swamp playing tag

with your trusted coolies at night.

I guess that would be

good enough for me.

You can keep your mouth shut

and keep out of the way.

Pretty lady want see Mr. Denny.

All right.

Now remember what I said.

Say, Denny.

What?

Oh, nothing. You look

kind of cute, that's all.

Gary, I told you not to get up.

You shouldn't.

Come in!

He insisted on getting up.

- Not obeying orders, eh?

Hoy! Bring me some blankets,

snap into it!

Gosh! What hit me?

Fever chills. You've got to get

used to them for a couple of days.

Get me a coat, anything.

- Denny, can I help?

- Yes, tell Mac to go on out.

- Get me the medicine box, Hoy.

- Yes, sir.

You won't leave him now, will you?

You'll stay?

Naturally.

There are things to be done.

Come on, boy, dig in your heels.

Here.

Hi, Doc.

How am I doing?

Great. Eat your spinach.

The rest of your milk.

All of it now.

Well, it looks as though

you were gonna stay married.

He's really through it?

There's no more chance...

- He'll be outside working in a week.

I don't know what to say.

You'd better think

about getting some sleep.

I know I am.

I mean, when I think of what I

did the first day we came...

slapping you.

And here, ever since...

it's been almost three days,

you stayed with him

practically every minute,

pulling Gary through

this terrible...

Don't you see how ashamed I am?

Oh that. I...

Out here we all slap each

other sooner or later.

You're just getting it out of

your system a little early, that's all.

Well, apologies or even
