Thank you very much.

Do you mind if I go

on with my packing?

I'm in rather

a hurry.

You are leaving?

Tonight.

I'm so glad.

We shall be most sorry to

lose so charming an artist,

but in a way it is better

that you should go!

I don't understand you,

professor.

Miss Marta, for some time

the government of Egypt...

has been trying to protect

strangers from swindlers,

who obtain money to finance

supposed expeditions...

to rob the tombs

of our ancient dead.

In the past, these field trips

have met with disaster.

The backers have either been

slain or left to starve,

while the swindlers

have returned to Cairo

with their stolen money.

What has that

got to do with me?

I have reason to believe

that your father...

might have been approached

with such a proposal.

You mean that someone's

trying to swindle him...

into financing

a fake expedition?

Precisely.

But that's

preposterous!

In an hour we'll be on

the boat sailing for home.

My father's

out buying the tickets now.

I am so happy

to hear that.

Don't take offense that

it is I, a stranger,

who warned you.

Not at all.

I'm extremely grateful.

It is most regrettable

that so lovely a person

must leave our country.

However, may I wish you

a most pleasant journey...

back to your homeland?

Alms for a poor

unfortunate.

Cigarettes.

[Native Language]

There, that makes us

all partners.

Gosh, this was

a fortunate meeting.

I just can't wait

to get started.

Oh, boy,

that calls for a drink.

It's empty.

Hey, waiter!

No, no, don't

bother the waiter.

Here.

Gotta have a...

but what's comin'...

Another one.

Listen...

I guess that's

all I can spare!

Oh, boy!

You're terrific!

Wait'll we get

on the expedition.

Won't we have fun!

[Babe]

You're positively a genius.!

To the Princess Ananka

and her jewels.

Hey, what

goes on here?

Help! Police!

[Screaming]

Stop it!

Stop it!

Get him outta here!

I'll take care of these guys!

Come on,

junior!

Thanks, Brooklyn!

Come on, Steve!

Stop!

Stop, I say!

Help! Police!

Help! Help!

[Whistling]

So you finally

got back?

I've been to get the tickets.

It didn't take

all day, did it?

You left me here

to do the packing.

A swell job you made of it.

You don't have to

unpack, either.

Either?

What are you

talking about?

Why, ah...

Did I ever show

you this one?

Yes, you did!

Hey, be careful.

What do you mean

by "either"?

Marta, I've got

great news for you.

Stupendous news!

Colossal surprise!

Oh, my goodness.

Wait'll I tell you.

No, you wait

till I tell you.

You've stumbled upon a

terrific piece of luck.

Yeah.

It just came right up

and bumped you.

Yeah.

You're going to be very rich.
