hwp When I start out
to make a fool of myself...
...there very little can stop me.
If l known where it would end,
l have never let anything start.
If l been in my right mind, that is.
But once l seen her...
...I was not in my right
mind for quite some time.
Good evening, said l,
thinking myself a very gay dog indeed.
But here was a beautiful girl...
...and me with plenty of
time to get myself into trouble.
Some people can smell danger.
Not me.
I asked her
if she have a cigarette.
It me last one,
so please don disappoint me.
But I don smoke.
That how I found her.
And from that moment on,
I did not use my head very much...
...except to be thinking of her.
But in the park in those days...
...the rough young fellas
used to be staging holdups.
Help! Help!
These young fellas
were not professionals.
That the reason...
...why I start out in
this story a little bit like a hero.
Which I most certainly am not.
The cabdriver
woke up, he was okay...
...so I borrowed his
carriage to drive the lady home.
In a while she recovered
herself and brightened up...
...what with the things I told
her to get her mind off the scare...
...and to set her thinking as well of
the brave fella that had rescued her.
Rosalie.
Fair Rosalie. It a name
l磎 after calling you. Why not?
It a gorgeous, romantic
little name entirely.
-l磎 Michael, a poor sailor...
-Youe a character.
...with the princess of
Central Park riding along at his side.
I want to know where
does the princess come from?
I don know why
she should tell you but...
Well, her parents
were Russian, quite Russian.
You never heard of the place she from.
-Would Your Highness care to gamble?
-She done it for a living.
I bet you le been
to the place you were born.
-Cheefoo.
-lt on the China coast.
It the second wickedest city.
-What the first?
-Macao.
-I worked there.
-You worked in Macao?
Here your dollar. How
about Shanghai? I worked there too.
-As a gambler?
-Well...
Hope you were luckier than tonight.
You need more than luck in Shanghai.
-Do you know what?
-What?
I bet I could drive the cart
from down there inside with you.
There a police
car on the other road.
We best get out of the park. It
too simple for the cops to find us.
You don like them.
The cops struggle along
without our doing their work for them.
Watch where youe going!
Get that nag out of here!
Now the cops are bound to pick us up.
We best leave the cab here and walk.
-You don like the police.
-I do not.
My car right there
in the garage, anyway.
Tell me, Michael, is there some
reason why the police don like you?
Well, they never
put me in jail in America.
You know, the nicest jails are in
Australia, the worst are in Spain.
What law did you break in Spain?
I killed a man.
Just now you almost killed a girl.
Is there a law against that?
Try it, you won like the jails.
They put you in jail for murder?
I didn think so.
A man killed his
wife in Frisco last week.
She gone to the icebox for supper.
He thought she was a burglar, he said.
He shot her five times in the head.
-He had a good lawyer.
-Evidently. I saw his picture.
-Bainbridge.
-Bannister.
Arthur Bannister. It said he
the world greatest criminal lawyer.
-Some people think he is.
-Here your car.
Send the bill to my husband.
If youe a sailor, there a job for
you. Would you like to work for me?
l like it.
l磎 shipping out tomorrow.
So are we! To the West
Coast, by way of the Canal.
Wee short a man on the crew.
ll make it worth your while.
Could it be this youe looking for?
You were smart to carry
a gun, traveling alone in the park...
...but if you knew you had the gun
in your bag, why throw away the bag?
I meant for you to find it.
I don know how to shoot.
It easy.
You just pull the trigger.
Some dame, ain she?
Yeah. And some car.
Evening, Mr. Grisby.
Mr. Bannister sent it
all the way from San Francisco.
So she could have it here.
-Bannister?
-Arthur Bannister, himself.
Gee, some guys have all the luck.
Personally, I don like
a girlfriend to have a husband.
If shel fool a husband,
I figure shel fool me.
New York is not as big
as it pretends to be...
...so I spent the next
day in the hiring hall...
...waiting for a ship.
That way, big boob that I am...
...I thought I could escape her.
S.S. American Trader...
Cigarettes will stunt
your growth. Come here!
Excuse me.
I wonder if you could
help me locate a Mr. Oara.
Michael Oara.
Mike Oara?
You mean Black Irish that talks fancy?
-I don know him myself but...
-Black Irish?
Yeah, I know him. Joe, call Mike
Oara, a guy here wants to see him.
Michael Oara, please
step to the bulletin board.
A man wants to see you.
-Shipmates?
-We was in Spain together.
They started calling him Black Irish
after what he did to finks back in 39.
Mike got blarney, but he
can hurt a man when he gets mad.
You were asking for me?
-Oara?
-Oara.
Youe what they call
an able-bodied seaman?
That what they call it.
-You ever work on a yacht?
-No.
-I presume you can handle a speedboat.
-I presume so.
Do you drink?
I beg your pardon?
I
