The Impostors Page #5

Let's get out of here quick.

...having been abused

yesternight...

by a band of ruffians...

I thwarted an attempt

on my life...

by these incompetent scofflaws

single-handedly.

Bravo. Wonderful. Good job.

As for myself, I hope that...

the salt air

will heal my wounds...

and the motion

of the cool, green sea...

soothe my tortured soul.

Thank you

and bon voyage to us all.

Bon voyage.

Mr. Sparks, what

an honor it is to have you here.

I'm Pancetta Leaky,

the ship's social director.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Sparks.

Congratulations

on your last match.

Thank you very much, good fella.

Ow.

Do you feel that grip?

I do, sir. I do.

Powerful enough to snap

the neck of a small beast...

and yet sensitive enough...

to caress the tender throat

of a young castrato...

coax a song from him.

Good for you.

That is why I win.

I'm sure it is, sir.

Enjoy your voyage.

Oh, I will. I will.

I'll help you with your bags.

Mrs. Essendine,

it's a pleasure to see you.

How delighted we were to see

your name on the passenger list.

And I was sorry to hear about

the death of your husband.

He was the most generous of men.

That he was. That he was.

Wait. Wait.

Can this be Emily?

She has blossomed so.

Thank the gentleman, Emily.

Thanks.

Stewards. Stewards.

Give us a hand here, please.

Gentlemen, is there a problem?

- I have it, Arthy.

- Oh, OK. Thank you.

Thank you.

Ohh!

- Aah!

- Ohh!

Ohh.

OK.

OK.

Excuse me.

Are you lost?

- Yes.

- No.

Do you work on this ship?

I'm innocent.

I'm not a thespian thug.

I'm a good man.

Can you help us?

Please, ma'am?

The ship's about to leave.

All ashore

that are going ashore!

All ashore

that are going ashore!

There is desperation

in these little footsteps.

Lily, your cheeks are flushed.

Your breasts heave.

May I ask where is the fire?

No, there's no fire, Meistrich.

A passenger needs help.

Oh?

Two minutes to departure?

I don't recall hiring you two.

I didn't, either,

but, you know...

Stewards!

It appears my steamer is stuck.

I require some assistance.

Unless, of course,

you're all too busy...

like every other bloody steward

on this bloody ship!

Absolutely, sir.

Move!

Very good.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Hang on. There you go.

Thank you very much.

Now, haven't I seen

you two boys before?

Are you sure?

Weren't you employed once

on the S.S. Normandy?

- Ooh!

- Ooh!

It's you! It's you!

Halt!

Psst! Psst!

OK, who are you?

- We're actors.

- Actors?

- Just actors.

- Actors.

Would I have seen you

in anything?

- Maybe.

- Possibly.

Movie actors?

No, not yet.

Jane? Put it in 13.

OK.

We're of the theater.

We're seeking

new representation.
