Expect to be in the big city

a week or so.

I may remain in St. Louis

for some time.

I'd consider it an honor

if you'd call on me.

Why, Miss Farrel,

I'd be delighted.

Would you? Well, I'm giving a

party at the Gilded Cage Cafe.

Would it be too forward of me

to invite you?

Just say the night, ma'am.

What night will you arrive?

Monday night. Monday! What a coincidence!

My party was all set

for next Monday.

Oh, aren't we lucky? Captain Jackson

will arrive in St. Louis next Monday...

just in time for our party

at the Gilded Cage Cafe.

Fine. We'll try to make it

interesting for him.

Yes, like going over

Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Good night, Captain Jackson.

Good night, ma'am.

Until next Monday, then?

Until next Monday.

See you at the Gilded Cage.

The Gilded Cage.

I'd leave

my 'appy 'ome for you

You're the nicest man

I ever knew

If you take me andjust

break me in the business too

Ooh, I'd leave my 'appy 'ome

for you, you, you, you

I'd leave my 'appy 'ome

for you, oo-ooh

We never have anything like

this on the River Queen.

Huh. Well, here we are.

Now, listen.

See this? A little advance I

borrowed off of Captain Sam.

Hold that. Now we're going

in here, put on the dog.

You know, do as I do.

Come, m'lad.

That's a boy.

It's quite all right.

I'll be right back. Uh-uh-uh-uh.

You didn't say excuse me.

I beg your pardon.

That's just as good.

Bah!

Come, let us check

our wraps.

Here, here, here.

Oh, you kid.

You tell 'em, upholstery.

You've got the stuff.

You tell 'em, ammonia.

You've got the spirit.

Come.

Those two monkeys from the showboat

want to see Captain Jackson.

We've got to keep them

out of the gambling room.

You take care of that ham actor, and

I'll have some fun with the fat one.

These gentlemen would like

to see Captain Sam Jackson.

Well, you see if he's here.

We'll entertain the gentlemen.

Of course.

Come, my little man.

It's awfully dark in here.

Oh, excuse me. Thank you.

Uh-oh.

Thank you.

Well, well!

Oh!

Come on!

Nothin' helps.

That got it.

It's rather late for you

to be out, isn't it?

No, I don't think so. One day

last week I was out till 9:00.

Really?

Drinkin' too.

Oh.

Drinkin' good!

I had three soda pops.

Boy, was I woozy!

Good too.

I'll never forget...

Your wine, sir.

Oh, the wine!

Thank you. I'll...

Wine! I don't drink wine.

It's just soda pop with more

bubbles. Oh, that's different.

If that's the case,

then I will pay for this.

Compliments of the manager.

All right.

Lovely show.

Wonderful show. I never saw a

show like this before in my life.

I think I'm gettin'

a Mickey.

Cheers!

Yes, ma'am.

Ohhh. Well...
