He has blustered his way

to success...

on the backs of the great

supporting players for too long!

And it's time for us

to make a stand and say no!

No, Burtom! Begone!

It is time for us to say,

no, boozy boy!

Bye-bye, Burtom bad boy!

Hefty boy!

Boozy, boozy boy!

Greasy boy! Saggy, farty boy!

Poke you!

I poke you! I poke you!

Something like that.

Daah!

- Aah!

- Aah!

Come on! Come back here!

- Ooh!

- Come back!

Come back here! Ooh!

Stop them! Stop them!

They're trying to kill a genius!

There they go.

- Too small.

- What?

- Too small.

- No.

- No, no, no, don't move.

- Too small.

Claustrophobia!

Please.

- How about over there?

- I checked over there already.

Did you check the other side?

Shh!

- What's that noise?

- You hear that?

I don't hear nothing.

You fart?

Shh. Please.

All right, come on. Let's go.

Hey.

- Arthy.

- Ooh.

OK. Come on.

Go slow.

What are you doing?

Oh, God. We're outlaws.

Let's get out of here.

The place is crawling with cops.

I know, I know.

I have an idea. Come on.

Ladies.

One-ten, Oceano.

Why are we standing around,

please?

These go to stateroom 40,

and that goes to 15.

Thanks, girls.

So, Lily,

everything is in order?

- Yes, Meistrich.

- Good.

You are so good

at what you do, Lily.

Thank you.

So good.

Thanks, Meistrich.

So sweet.

Thanks.

So...

Oh, Lily.

When I'm with you, I feel

like a young schoolboy again...

full of hope and wonder...

like a young bud in springtime

waiting to blossom.

- Well...

- Your face...

Your hands...

Your beautiful,

snow-white hands.

Lil, Lil, Lil, Lily, ly

Lily, Lil, Lil, Lil...

Marco.

Hi. Um, excuse me.

Hi, Meistrich. Could I talk

to you for a second?

- Actually, no.

- Please, Meistrich.

Just one minute.

- Hi, Marco.

- Hey.

How are you?

You look so handsome.

Thank you.

Did you get my flowers?

Yes. I was hoping

they were from you.

- There was no card.

- Oh.

No. I wanted to talk

to you in person...

because, Lily...

I just wanted

to tell you that...

w...

But I wanted to tell you that...

Ohh! Aah!

Why don't you watch

what you're doing, hmm?

Make a mistake like that

next time...

and I'll chop off your hands and

let you drown in your own blood!

Are you two finished

with your little tete-a-tete?

Because there is work to do.

If we don't work,

we'll lose our jobs, yes?

Yes. Right away, Meistrich.

Good-bye, Marco.

- OK.

- OK.

Bye-bye.

Tschuss.

Lily...

will you dance with me

tonight at the ball?

I have something

I want to say to you.

- Well...

- Excellent!

Until tonight?

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's Burtom! It's him!

- I know.

- What are we going to do?
