Oh!

Oh, the...

Yes, the...

Do you have my wallet?

Seem to have

lost the wallet.

You cheap,

lying fakes.

Now, wait a minute, miss.

We have a...

What's the matter,

Stella?

Did moneybags

cheat you, too?

Look at him and answer that.

He's even run out of talk.

For that l think l'll

take $20 out of your hide.

Did you want that advance

in cash or by check, Martin?

Well, l think maybe cash would

save a few hospital bills.

Would $300

last you until tomorrow?

$300?

l think we can

squeeze through on that.

Let's see. Five.

One, two, three,

four, five.

Fifty for you.

Ten, twenty...

You ought to have more faith

in people. Thirty, forty...

Mr. MacDonald, l don't wish

to overstep my position,

but l just can't

understand this.

Why, these men are nothing

but penniless wastrels.

You've never been one,

have you, Rawlings?

Never had to talk yourself

out of a jam.

Never had the privilege

of gambling your last

penny on a dream.

l feel sorry for you.

You lost a lot of education

by going to college.

Well, perhaps...

And l'll tell you

another thing.

lf this penniless wastrel

hadn't called me,

l would've looked him up,

because l know he's the

only man in the country

that can lick

this offshore problem.

l'm going with him

all the way.

Thank you, Mr. MacDonald.

lt's all right.

l've been there myself.

Yeah?

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Good luck to you, Gambi.

Seems to me we've already had our share.

You'll need more.

So long.

There's a real one, pal.

Yeah.

But that one small point you

sort of tossed away worries me.

What's that?

The fact that nobody can do a

job like this in three months.

How do you know?

Nobody ever tried it.

Hey, Julius, what kind

of boats are those?

Look like a Navy LS and a couple of crash boats.

You gonna have

another war already?

lt's a little classier

than our first arrival.

New shoes and everything.

A whole blasted navy.

That's pretty good going

for two weeks,

from con man

to commodore.

We even got

a welcoming committee.

We're gonna have to have another

boat for that seismograph work.

You try and round up

Dominique's. All right.

l'll arrange for the mooring

for all these things.

All we need is

a bigger river.

Dominique!

Hey, Dominique.

He's not aboard.

All of a sudden, l don't care.

But does he have a corner on

all the beautiful dames in town?

What do you mean?

Why, you're the second one

that's popped out of that cabin.

Who are you?

The younger daughter,

Francesca.

Francesca.

lt's a pleasure.

l'm Johnny Gambi.

Oh, the oil man.

Father spoke of you.

lf it was a bad report,

it's a pack of lies.

Do you know

where l can find him?

l want to rent
