Oh, i think, um,

a brandy and soda.

Brandy and soda?

Oh, steward, a brandy

and soda as well, please.

Have you

a cigarette, Fred?

Yes, i think so.

Ah, what do you

want, a cigarette?

Please.

I have one.

There you are.

Thank you.

It's a gorgeou

s night outside.

Perfect

for lovers.

Oh, have you seen

my husband anywhere about?

I think he went ashore

with the princess, madam.

? My wife?

? Won't let me...?

Well, uh...

why not let me

show you around town, eh?

I'd be delighted.

I say...

yes, sir?

When's there a boat

leaving again for shore?

There's one going

in 5 minutes.

5 minutes.

Shall we? All right.

You've been

thinking a lot.

Oh, i'm as much

at sea as ever.

It's a bewildering

business, this,

this being at sea.

But on the night

of the carnival,

i knew that Fred and

the princess were...

were drunk, too.

Compared with them, we

were a pair of sober sods.

But i can't

feel sorry.

About them?

About us.

Tell me, Fred,

have you not a regret

for treating Emily so?

Well, i wouldn't be

human if i had no regrets.

Naturally,

i feel for her.

I'd be a pretty poor

sort of fish if i didn't.

Of course, she's fond

of me i know.

I suppose we were happy enough

in our own quiet little way

until we came on this trip and i met you.

After that, of course,

it was all out.

I mean, how can i be

expected to love Emily

when i...

when i love you?

Water is

a good drink,

but champagne

he is better, yes?

That's it.

That's it.

And having developed

a taste for champagne

what's the use of

trying to stick to water?

Oh, well, maybe she

will find someone

who is nearer

her own level.

Yes. She'll probably

be much happier.

Of course, you know, she

never really understood me.

I was a bit

too much for her.

Like to see a ship we

were once passengers in?

It's running away

from us now.

Him.

Is he going

to beat us?

You are going to let me

take care of you, aren't you

oh, i don't know.

Let me make this

figure real.

After all, you know,

you drew it.

[People singing

"for he's a jolly good fellow"

isn't it marvelous

to think

that after tonight we

should always be together?

Yes.

But don't forget,

Fred.

Tomorrow

when we go ashore,

i'm asked

to get off alone.

Oh, yes.

My hand.

Sorry.

But i can't help feeling

a bit worried about em.

I hope she'll

be all right.

Fred...

hmm?

If the woman

can't hold her man,

there's no reason why

he should take the blame.

No. I suppose

you're right.

You always are.

Shall we go inside?

All right.

Hip hip hooray!

Hip hip hooray! Hooray!

Hip hip hooray!

Hip hip...

hooray.

I've seen it

all along.

Look at the way

you made yourself

an absolute
