Week-End in Havana Page #6

Synopsis: A ship company employee, Jay Williams, is sent to Florida where one of the company cruise ships is stuck on a reef off of the coast. He obtains waivers from all of the passengers with the exception of Nan Spencer, a department store salesgirl who wants her vacation NOW, not later. Jay is instructed to take Nan to Havana and set her up in the best hotel and keep her entertained. She visits a night club where the star attraction is Rosita Rivas, and meets Rosita's worthless manager, Monte Blanca, who makes a play for her. Trouble also comes in the form of Jay's fiancée, Terry McCracken, when a romance develops between Nan and Jay.

You were insulted,

or you were not insulted.

And beyond that,

you are not going home alone.

I am Monte Blanca.

- Uh, shall we go now?

- Oh, but I don't even know you.

[ Laughs ]

Charming, isn't it?

Atouch of mystery adds

a great deal of zest.

All right, Monte. Let's go.

[ Continues ]

[ Ends ]

- Seorita.

- Thank you.

- Seorita.

- Hello.

Much to my amazement,

I have brought you home.

- Yes, you could knock me over with a feather too.

- Really?

- Thanks a lot, Mr. Blanca.

- And what time tomorrow night shall I call?

Oh, you're-you're calling

tomorrow night?

Oh, this is what is known

as a preliminary flirtation.

- And, uh, what's tomorrow night?

- Saturday.

Then I can definitely make it.

It's my maid's night out.

Good. We will go

to the casino again...

but upstairs to the tables,

if you like.

- Oh, it sounds exciting.

- Being with you will be exciting even if we lose.

[ Laughs ]

Well-

- Buenas noches, seorita.

- Uh-

"Bonas"noches.

Oh, excuse me.

You, uh, are sure

she is wealthy?

It is the surest thing

in the whole world.

She has the most expensive suite

in the hotel.

Her clothes-They are the most luxurious

and thinnest I have ever seen.

And if this is not proof enough,

she tipped me only 10 cents.

- She must be very wealthy.

- [ Chuckles ]

You will get your whole payment

in a lump...

and if your information is not accurate,

it will be a lump on the head.

- Seor.

- Good evening.

- Seor Williams, for you.

- Thank you.

Hmm.

- Where can I send a cable?

- I'm sorry, seor. The office is closed.

- Can I take your answer?

- Yes.

To Walter McCracken-

M- C-C-R-A-C-K-E-N.

McCracken Building,

New York City.

No progress.

Girl looking for romance...

but you can't rush nature.

Regards,Jay.

- You got that?

- Yes, seor. And how would you like this sent?

Oh, I think something with a black edge

around it might be appropriate.

[ Latin ]

[ Chattering ]

The one in the middle is the lucky table.

The croupier is color-blind.

Oh, wonderful!

No more bets, please.

Evening, Flores.

[ Flores ] Fourteen, red.

Fourteen, the winner.

- Astack of the blues, please.

- Blues?

- For the young lady. They will match her eyes.

- [ Chuckles ]

- One stack of blacks.

- How much are they?

Who cares?

To you, they are nothing but chips.

[ Man ]

Thirty-three, the winner.

Uh, while you are playing,

I would like to make a call.

- Oh, but don't be too long.

- Oh, I'll be back before you break the bank.

[ Flores ]

Place your bets, please.

[ Continues, Fades ]

[ Chuckles ]

Hello, Boris. How are you?

Glad to see you here, Monte.

Saves me the trouble of sending for you.

Oh, I would have come up yesterday,
