The Mummy's Hand Page #4

Don't let me see it.

Uh, mm-hmm.

Now shuffle 'em.

Go ahead,

shuffle 'em up.

What this deck needs right now

is a good shuffle.

Oh, Poopsie,

don't fail me.

Sir, your card was, uh...

your card was, uh...

that's the first time

that failed.

Um, it couldn't be

the ace of spades?

No, it couldn't.

Um, well ah...

I give up.

What was your card?

Two of hearts.

There ain't no two of

hearts in the deck.

Of course there is!

All right,

then you show me.

It's right there.

All right, bartender,

drinks for everybody.

The gentleman pays.

How are you gonna pay

for all these drinks?

What are you worrying

about money for?

You've got plenty.

Look at that there,

money all over.

Here, you're not

very observing.

That's what I've been

trying to tell you.

Hard to light?

Try that one.

Oh.

So you're

the great Solvani.

My name is Steve Banning,

and this hopeless Houdini

here is BabeJenson.

How are ya?

Americans

I take it?

You don't look like

a Solvani yourself.

To be perfectly

honest, I'm not.

A front, you know,

show business.

Real name, Sullivan.

Tim Sullivan.

You couldn't be

from Brooklyn?

Yes, Greenpoint.

I haven't been

there in years.

Come on over and sit down.

That's a honey!

Your tricks are

better than mine.

So you're the chief attraction

of the Egyptian theater?

I was the chief attraction.

[Babe]

What's that "was"?

It seems the natives here

don't appreciate the art

of prestidigitation.

I'm on my way to reserve

the best suite on the first

boat to the good old U.S.A.

You mean, you still

got some dough?

I'm not going to

swim home, my boy.

You interest us.

There's no money to be

made around these parts.

Um, shall we

let him in on it?

No, Babe.

In on what?

Oh, well, I guess

maybe you're right.

Aww, but we're

both from Brooklyn.

We're practically

brothers.

Yeah, practically.

Come on, can't we just

tell him about it?

Go on.

You're wrong

about Egypt.

We've stumbled on something

that's gonna make us rich.

Here, in Egypt?

In a certain section of

the mountains lies an

undiscovered tomb...

of an ancient Egyptian

princess named Ananka.

I'm an archaeologist,

Mr. Solvani,

and I've discovered proof of

the existence of this tomb...

and a clue to its

possible location.

It'll only take a couple

of thousand to outfit

the expedition.

The possibilities

are tremendous.

[Natives Speaking]

[Knocking]

Come in.

Miss Marta?

Yes?

I'm Marta Solvani.

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Professor Andoheb

of the Cairo museum.

How do you do?

I've had the pleasure...

of watching you

and your father.

May I say that he

is a great artist,

and you are most charming?
