Turn around.
You're on the wrong track, pal.
- Wrong track with the wrong man.
- Save it for Washington.
We're flying back today
and we're taking it with us.
No, we're not. I haven't got it.
Where is it, Halliday?
I told you, you're on the wrong track.
Now, if you'll sit down and stop pointing
that gun at me
and let me do some talking...
Shut up, you've got nothing to talk about.
Get your bag.
Put it down.
I'm only gonna drink out of it.
Do you mind?
We got no time.
Call me seorita.
Vamos, will you?
Will you get out of the way?
Scram, will you?
Come on, scram, por favor.
It's men like you who make people
like them contemptuous of tourists.
Doesn't it occur to you
they don't understand?
- Well, I spoke to him in Spanish.
- Oh, is that what it was?
- Two hundred pesos, seor.
- Forget it.
- One hundred pesos, seor.
- I don't want any.
- Twenty pesos, seor.
- Vamos, will you?
Twenty pesos.
Thank you, thank you, seor.
- If that means what I think it does...
- It does.
If you know so much about etiquette,
get to work on Chiquita.
Taxi! Taxi!
Oh, you can have it.
- Who is it?
- It's Joan.
Come on, Jim, open the door.
Why, Joan, darling,
where did you drop from?
Never mind locking it. I'm not staying.
Oh, now, Joan, don't let's start a fight.
Now you can give me back my $2,000.
Well, that's a fine way to greet
the guy you're engaged to.
What did you expect? Kisses?
I don't understand. I thought...
No, no, you thought I was the type of girl
who would sit home and cry her eyes out.
I don't get it. What's there to cry about?
The $2,000 you borrowed.
If you're going to put the dollar sign
in front of everything,
I guess I'm lucky to find it out now,
before we got married.
You know, darling,
a woman has to have a little faith in a man.
Oh, you're a fine one to talk about faith.
You don't know what the word means.
- Oh, don't I?
- Oh, stop it.
The last time you started that
it cost me my bank account.
- There's that dollar sign again.
- Where? I don't see it.
Come on, hand it over.
I was saving that money for my trousseau.
Oh, darling, your pride's been hurt
because I went away without a word.
And stayed away without several.
Will you try to believe there was a reason?
A good one.
Sure, you wanted to surprise me.
By not coming back.
But, darling,
I planned on starting back tomorrow.
Go on.
I wanted to walk in on you
and dump a fortune in your lap.
I don't want a fortune.
All I want is what you owe me.
I'm trying to tell you, I'm gonna
give it all back to you with interest.
Just as soon as I finish the little job I'm on.
- Then I'll just wait.
- Fine.
It won't take long. All I have to do
is deliver something to a man.
All right, where do we deliver it?
- We?
- You won't mind my going along?
No, of course not.
I was just going down to rent a car.
We'll leave in an hour.
You go on in and freshen up a little bit,
and I'll be right back.
- Is that what we're delivering?
- Yes.
- How long a trip is it?
- Oh, a couple of hundred kilometers.
We go through a little place called Libres.
Not Tehuacn?
No, that was another trip.
Oh.
Wait a minute, that's the only map I've got.
I'll keep it safe.
I hope this is waterproof, Mr. Fiske,
'cause I'm taking a shower
and it's taking one with me.
All right, Fiske, come on out.
What?
Come on out, sister.
Who is it?
Captain Vincent Blake, United States Army.
Open the door.
I will not.
- All right, then I'm coming in there.
- No, no, no, wait, wait. Just a minute.
- Chiquita, what are you doing here?
