We'll be terribly

inconvenienced without them.

You wouldn't want us

to be inconvenienced.

Those suits

were tailor-made.

We're very fond

of them.

We'd better

get them back...

Harry!

That'll be all, thank you.

I'll tell you when

to get tough with people.

You're working for me, Harry,

and I've too much at stake to have

it spoiled by your hoodlum tactics.

Is that clear?

Right, Mrs. Vail.

Come with me.

I can't find Lucia.

Right, now we can see.

Yeah, I've seen enough of you.

Here, give me that.

Burn that man's suit.

I'd like to defrost my goose

pimples, if you don't mind.

Isn't this great? We got the housing

shortage beat. We got our own lifeboat.

If the boat sinks,

we're sitting pretty.

We got the jump on

the women and children.

You couldn't get me a trap like

this nearer the boiler room?

I don't want you down there.

I like heat!

I'd like to hear

from my blood again.

I want you up on deck where it's healthy,

where you can breathe that good, deep salt air

You're salty enough for me,

getting me in these nooks.

Because you give my money to those dames!

May I give you one small piece

of chitchat for your files?

If the most beautiful

woman in the world walked

by, know what I'd do?

Give her the full fuller.

I'd give her the brush.

Do you hear that?

What's that?

Come on.

Who's there?

It's just a dame.

She's crying. Maybe I can help her.

Don't bother. She's old

enough to blow her own nose.

Wait a minute.

You gave me your word of honor, your

scout's oath and you crossed your heart.

That's a tough

parlay to buck.

But those are real tears.

This dame's different.

Here, now, here!

No, let me go!

Here! Here, now!

You don't want to do that. That

water's pretty cold out there.

Hey, let's get back. You

want to get caught? Come on!

I said, let me go!

Let her go. Maybe she

wants to rinse a few things.

You're loaded, you've got

everything to live for.

Yeah, she's loaded, but remember

Oklahoma, Texas, New Orleans?

I'll help you jump.

Now come here!

Get back in the nook,

schnook. Go on! Hey, whoa!

Wait a minute, I just thought of something.

If you jump, you'll get us into trouble.

We got all

we can handle now.

I'm sorry.

I'll go back to my cabin.

Go back to your cabin and shoot

yourself. That way, nobody will get hurt.

Make it very quiet. A little

killing... Take it easy.

Who are those men

with Lucia?

I don't know. But there's

something familiar about them.

There should be.

They're wearing our suits.

Shh!

You'll thank me later

for interfering.

I can thank you now, Mr...?

Sweeney. Scat Sweeney.

My name is

Lucia Maria de Andrade.

And I'm Hot Lips Barton. Okay,
