with a lot of money.

Of course, if you're really concerned

about the Forbes family...

you could give it to them.

Meanwhile, we'll keep looking.

We'll get her whether you give her to us

or not, so don't take too long.

It would be a shame

if you missed your opportunity.

I'm sure you'll find me

when you make up your mind.

What're you going to do?

Shoot something for breakfast?

Sure. Name it.

Eggs, bacon, toast, a bucket of coffee

and some cigarettes. I'm famished, Brown.

Okay, I'll share it with you.

I don't want them counting trays.

Here's some cigarettes. Get your appetite

under control while I find a waiter.

This is a modern train.

Why don't you ring for him?

I want to look around first.

Get in there and keep the door locked.

I like my bacon crisp and lots of butter

on the toast, please.

- It's all yours.

- Thanks.

I know you, I saw you sneak out of there.

You said you had a compartment.

- Take it easy.

- Take your hands off me.

He's a robber. Last night he snuck in on us

and I just saw him sneaking out of...

- That's a good boy. Let's go, son.

- Let me go!

Say, he's some little scrapper.

- Yeah, we're training him that way.

- Put me down!

Put me down!

Take your hands off me.

- Help!

- Here's your boy, madam.

Tommy, where on earth have you been?

- He got lost.

- I did not.

He's got a gun under his arm. I felt it.

Call the police.

- He's very excitable.

- You're probably feeding him wrong.

- Too many oats.

- The police will lock him up...

- and they'll take his gun away.

- Come along, Tommy.

- Find your case?

- No. But I'm still looking.

Good morning.

Oh, hello. How are you?

I was just on my way to the dining car.

So am I. Still rushing, I see.

Yeah, I'm kind of busy this morning.

- One, sir?

- Yeah.

This way, please.

Rushing around the way you do

must work up quite an appetite.

- What did you say?

- I said you must be hungry.

Oh, I can always eat.

- You people together?

- No, I'm not eating.

What?

Don't mind me.

I have something else on my mind.

Not food, obviously.

Your change. Remember?

You went off and forgot it last night.

I guess I forgot something else, too.

No, I took the tip out.

Your reputation's first-rate...

in the bar.

Meaning it's not so good here.

All right, consider yourself apologized to.

But I'm really not hungry.

Excuse me. Just a wire to the home office.

And I wish you'd get those nerves

quieted down.

Yeah, I'm working on it.

Toast and coffee.

The gentleman's not having any.

Yes, ma'am.

Pardon me.

I beg your pardon, sir.

Always meeting in a tight place,

aren't we?

This makes twice.

As a matter of fact, I'd like to speak
