He was supposed to meet me here a half hour ago.

-Another drink while you're waiting, Mr. Whitney?

-Yeah, please.

Seven's my limit.

-Mm.

[ Laughter ] Hear you're off to England, Mr. Whitney.

-Big stuff, Fred.

The biggest.

-Business, huh?

-Henley Regatta.

Boot the Yale boat home.

Bulldog, Bulldog!

Bow wow wow!

♪ Eli Yale ♪ -Play ball!

-Crocker!

Where the hell have you been?

You're a half hour late!

-Relax, Boss, I have been taking care of business.

I've got your steamer ticket, English money, train ticket up to Henley.

And I picked Little Eli up at Brooks Brothers.

New letter sweater looks terrific!

-[ Laughs ] What about my passport?

-Nuts!

Oh, I'm sorry, Boss.

I will pick it up first thing in the morning and bring it to you down on the boat.

-Damn it, Crocker!

I want you down on Wall Street first thing in the morning to sell all my shares -- [ Clears throat ] [Quieter] To sell all my shares of Amalgamated Prestoleum.

-But, Boss, the firm's entire assets are tied up in Amalgamated.

-I got a hot tip from Charlie Blodgett.

Amalgamated's going to sink like the Titanic.

-You always told me Charlie Blodgett was a liar and a drunk.

-He is.

But he's a Yale man.

[ Chuckles ] -One for the road, sir?

-Yeah.

[ Clears throat ] Make it a double.

Goodnight, gentlemen.

[ Laughter ] -Anybody call for me, Fred?

-Uh, yeah.

Harriet, Nancy, Lorraine -- uh, two Lorraines... -Oh, how about a Hope?

Hope Harcourt?

-No, but there was a lady came in asking for you.

-He's wrong, Billy.

It was only me.

-Reno!

-Reno.

[ Cheers and applause ] -Oh, my God!

We had a date.

-That's okay.

I'd say forget it, but you already did.

-Ugh, Reno, I am so sorry.

My boss is going to London first thing in the morning.

I had a thousand things to do for him.

-I'm going to London in the morning and all you had to do for me was buy me a drink.

-What'll it be, ma'am?

-A martini, only make it with rye and put a cherry in it instead of an olive.

-Yeah, two Manhattans, Fred.

-You know, I'm getting worried about you, Billy.

I don't think this Wall Street job is good for you.

-Hey, I'm making $35 a week!

-Yeah, but look at you!

Look at your coat.

-What's the matter with my coat?

-It's got a fried egg on the pocket.

-That's an old school crest.

-From where?

P.S.

88?

You're in trouble, kid.

If you keep acting like a stuffed-shirt stockbroker, you're going to turn into one.

-Ah, why do I put up with this, Fred, huh?

-You're nuts about me.

-[ Chuckles ] -In fact, I've got a great idea.

Why don't you come to London with me?

-Reno, be serious.

-I am serious.

England won't be the same without you.

-Ah, guys like me are a dime a dozen.

You won't miss me over there.

-Why are the cute ones always so dumb?

-Yeah?

-I'm in love.

-I'm in cabin 13.

-No, come on, Reno.

Not with you.

I'm in love with a girl!

God, she is fantastic!

In fact, she is so fantastic she won't even talk to me!

That's why I can't go to London.

I've got to stay -- -Oh, so that's it, eh?

What, all this time you were just giving me the run-around?

-The run-around?

-Well, you had me thinking you wanted to marry me!

-How could you think that?

I always treated you with respect.

-Exactly.

Did you ever try to get me drunk?

No.

Did you ever invite me up to your apartment to "look at your etchings"?

No.

We've been in a taxi dozens of times.

Did you ever once make a pass?

No!

Not one lousy pass!

You shouldn't have led me on like that if you didn't mean it!

-Reno, I never meant to mislead you.

-Oh, the hell you didn't!

You never even laid a hand on me.

And I'm not used to men treating me like that!

Has a Mr. Eli Whitney come aboard?

-Mr. Whitney is in the bar.

-Ah, I thought you kept the bar closed till you sailed?

-He had a note from his doctor.

-Oh, thank you.

-Captain, Captain!

A catastrophe!

We may have to delay the sailing!

-What is it?

Icebergs?!

A hurricane?!

-Worse!

Charlie Chaplin just wired.

He's canceling his berth and sailing on the Mauretania.

-Good God!

The passenger list!

Quick!

[ Grumbles, sighs ] Hope Harcourt, the debutante.

That's not bad.

-The Normandie has Jimmy Walker and Machine Gun Kelly.

-Lord Evelyn Oakleigh.

-Nothing.

Wealthy Englishman.

-Wait a minute... Napoleon!

-That's the dessert menu.

[ Laughter ] -Then we've got nobody!

Quick, run down to the Stork Club and see if anyone's left over from last night.

-Aye, aye, sir.

-Hey, hey, would you just calm down?

-How can I calm down?!

We're about to spend six days pretending to be something that we're not!

And why?

Why?!

-So we can hitch a free ride on the world's classiest ocean liner, that's why.

And d'you think you're the only person on this barge pretending to be something that he's not?

Half the passengers here are -- -Hey, Captain.

-Whoa!

-Where's the celebrities?

-This tub is deader than the Flying Dutchman.

-Oh, fellows, please!

-My two stray sheep!

Come along.

Ah, gentlemen of the press, I am Henry T. Dobson.

-Not the Henry T.

Dobson?!

-Are you serious, Captain?

Give me a break.

-C'mon, Captain, cut the bushwa!

-A-As you no doubt have heard, I'm on my way to the Westminster Conference, where I shall present my two newest converts -- Luke and John.

[ Both humming ] -Luke here was a compulsive gambler.

Who, as a reminder of his former shame, still carries with him a deck of cards.

A-And poor John here was a lost soul who -- -Reno Sweeney!

-Alright!

Now we're getting somewhere!

-I'll say!

Hey, Reno, what are you doing on board this scow?

-Same thing I do at my nightclub, boys.

I'll be saving sinners twice a night in the ship's lounge.

-I see you brought the sinners with you.

-Meet my Angels.

Purity.

-Hi.

-Chastity.

-Hi.

-Charity.

-Hi.

-And I'm Virtue.

[ Laughter ] -Hi!

-Hi!

-The easy kind, no doubt.

-Say, brother, was that a pass?

-Miss Sweeney, I have no interest in either you or your fallen Angels.

I'm ashamed to be seen in public with you.

-How 'bout a picture, boys?

-Oh, that would e fantastic!

-Coming right up!

-Yes, please!

-If you could just hold there.

-Make sure to send a couple to the Archbishop.

-[ Groans ] Luke!

John!

-Bye!

-I tell you, boys, it ain't easy being New York's most notorious evangelist.

Come, who will lead this sinner beside distilled waters?

[ Laughter ] -What?

-What?

-Which way to the bar?

-Oh!

Just through there.

-Thank you.

-Uh-huh.

-Oh!

Hey, girls.

Give us the hallelujah!

-[ Chuckling ] Yeah!

-[Together] Hallelujah!

-Ooh!

-Gorgeous.

-Hey, look!

Hope Harcourt!

-Oh!

Hey, Miss Harcourt.

Are you presiding at the Gold and Silver Ball this year?

-How about the Newport Cotillion?

-Gentlemen, my daughter's debutante days are over.

She's about to be married.

-Married?!

-Well, since when?

-On the level?!

-Yes, it's true.

I'm marrying Lord Evelyn Oakleigh.

We're getting married at St. Paul's Cathedral, and I'm very, very happy.

-Hey, Edith, how about a smooch?

-I beg your pardon?

-Oh, that's a kiss, Your Highness.

-No!

How marvelous!

You know, I'm making a collection of expressions you Americans use.

-"A smooch is a kiss."

Hm!

Oh!

I say, darling, how 'bout a smooch?

[ Flash bulb pops ] -Egad!

Evangeline Harcourt!

-Elisha Whitney!

-[ Barking ] Down, boy, down!

-Eli!

You haven't changed in 40 years.

-Me?

Look at you!

You always did know how to fill a girdle, huh?

-Eli, really!

Have some respect for the memory of my late husband.

-Of course, forgive me.

You know, if it's any consolation, I was just coming out of the Stock Exchange when he took off from that ledge.

[ Laughter ] He jumped like a Yale man.

-Thank you, Eli.

-Boss, your passport.

-Oh, my gosh!

-Eli, you know my daughter, Hope.

And this is her fiancé, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh.

-Her fiancé?!

-German word, Crocker.

It means they're getting married.

-But -- I don't believe it!

-I still don't, either.

And yet, a week from now, my little Hope will be a Lady.

-This calls for a drink!

Come along, everybody.

-Isn't Mr. Crocker going to join us?

-Yeah, no, no, no.

He's got a date down on Wall Street.

Get going, Crocker, and sell those shares.

-Yes, sir.

-This way, my dear.

-Hope, wait... [ Whistle blows ] -All ashore that's going ashore!

All ashore that's going ashore!

-Who is God?

The creator of all things.

-Where is God?

-God is everywhere.

-And what does God know?

-Who's gonna win the Kentucky Derby!

[ Laughs ] -You.

Have you seen a minister?

-A what?

-FBI!

We're looking for a gangster dressed up like a minister.

You seen him?

-Uh, yeah, he went that way.

-Show us.

-Well, I gotta see somebody in the bar... -Show us.

-Show us.

-Look, guys, come on, I really-- -Come on!

Let's go!

-...don't have time for this.

-Was it this way?

-Yeah, yeah.

-This is ridiculous!

Come on!

-Psst!

Moonie!

The coast is clear.

-[Echoing] Erma?

[ Laughter ] Erma?!

Hey!

Are we in England yet?

-Where's Snake Eyes?

He hasn't showed.

-Ah, to hell with Snake Eyes!

Come on, he's public enemy number one -- can take care of himself, gimme that.

-Oh, my God, you don't suppose the cops nabbed him?

I gotta find him!

Snake Eyes!

Snake Eyes!

-Quiet!

Quiet!

We're trying to make a getaway here, okay?

-Mm-hmm.

[ Screaming ] Snake Eyes!

-Erma!

Now look what you made me do.

That's my "straddlevarious."

-Ah!

-Oh, wow, wow!

-A fellow cleric!

-Nope!

I'm outta here!

-Allow me to introduce myself, Doctor.

The Reverend Henry T. Dobson.

-Yeah.

-Are you on your way to the conference?

-No, I was thinking of going to bed early tonight, okay?

-Oh, I-I mean the Westminster Conference.

-No, no.

You see, I'm not a West Minister, [ Sniffs ] I'm more in the East.

[ Laughter ] -Oh, what is your field, Doctor?

-Me, I'm a kinda missionary, you know.

-A missionary?!

Where?

-Way out in China.

-Oh, I served in China for years!

-Oh, wow, that's amazing, yeah... well, I wasn't actually in China, I was more, um... -Ah, I see.

You were in Indochina.

-That's right, I was.

It was Indoor China.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-[ Laughs ] -Yeah, yeah.

And you were... -Outdoor China!

[ Both laugh ] -That's so funny, yeah.

-Yes.

Eh, we'll have lots to talk about.

-Sure.

-[ Speaking Chinese ] -I'm sorry?

-[ Speaking Chinese ] -Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth.

-Oh!

-Hey, there he is!

-No, no, no, no!

-FBI!

Gotcha, Moon!

-Un-- Unhand me this instant!

I am the Reverend Henry T. Dobson!

-Yeah, save it for the judge, buddy.

-Oh, my God, they're taking him away!

He's gone!

He's gone!

What're we gonna do?!

-Excuse me, Captain.

Is there a casino on this ship?

-[ Chuckling ] Why, no.

-There is now!

[ Laughs ] -Luke!

Stop!

What are you doing?!

We're gonna end up in the brig!

-I just wanted to say "bon voyage" to the lady, Boss.

-Hey, kid!

-You'll be saying "bon voyage" to your job, Crocker, unless you get the hell off this boat!

[ Ship horn blows ] -I can't find Snake Eyes anywhere!

What'll I do?!

He's my man!

He's my life!

-Erma!

Erma!

Forget Snake Eyes!

-[ Wolf whistles ] -Okay.

-Final call!

All ashore that's going ashore!

-You blew it, Snake Eyes!

Now what'll I do with his passport and ticket?

-Could you let me have them?

-Who are you?

-Give him the goods.

Come on, he saved my ass.

-Ah, thanks a lot!

Huh!

"Murray Hill Cleaners."

Murray Hill Cleaners?

Where'd he get a name like that?

-The Yellow Pages.

[ Ship horn blows ] -Final call!

All ashore that's going ashore!

Final call!

-Aw, what am I doing?!

I'm supposed to be down on Wall Street!

-Billy.

-No, no, no.

I can -- I can see it now.

An Earl or something.

[ Scoffs ] -Billy.

[ Sighs ] We've been friends forever, right?

-Yeah.

-So, friend to friend, lemme ask you something.

I'll go get you a Bromo.

-Hiya, Hope.

How ya doin'?

-Hello, Billy.

Billy!

-You know, you are beautiful when you're about to faint.

-Billy, I didn't know you were sailing!

-Well, I didn't either.

-Then what are you doing here?

-I'm selling life preservers.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, Hope.

I stowed away to be with you.

I couldn't let you go.

-Oh, Billy!

-[ Groaning ] Ohh!

-Oh!

Billy.

Eh, this is my fiancé, Evelyn Oakleigh.

-Ah!

Billy Crocker.

Pleased to meet you!

-Forgive me, forgive me.

I'm afraid I rather overdid it in the dining room.

-Oh, yeah, me too!

Did you have the sweetbreads?

Best brains I ever ate!

-Billy... -Although, I've never seen them served that way before, with jellied eels and headcheese.

-Billy, stop it!

-Night, all!

-Billy, was that fair?

-Fair?

I find you standing here in the moonlight with him.

I didn't shoot him, I didn't push him overboard.

I thought I was more than fair.

[ Chuckles ] -You're being terribly bad, Billy.

Why, we hardly know each other.

-Hardly know each other?

-We met one night at a party.

We danced, had a little too much wine.

We took a little spin 'round the park.

-You call five hours in the back of a taxi a little spin?

-Four hours.

-Five.

Remember, you fell asleep after we -- -I remember!

-And then I took you down to that little café by the docks.

-We ate breakfast as the sun came up.

-Yeah, we talked about going to California, getting a little bungalow... raising orange trees... -Raising kids... Billy, that was a fantasy.

Things like that just aren't done.

-Yeah.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

-...Edna.

-Edna.

-Your brother Edna?

-That's right.

His real name's Mona, but he changed it, you see, 'cause he's a bit deranged, you know.

-Several months ago, he escaped from the family suite at Bedlam.

-You have a family suite at Bedlam?

-That's right.

I was driving him down to Savile Row for his new straightjacket and suddenly, blinky-blonky-blind-me, gambolin' off, give me the slip, he did.

-Who is this man?

-Oh!

My brother's keeper.

-Yeah.

-Oh, dear me.

Oh, this is most upsetting.

-Yeah.

It's alright.

Don't -- Don't worry.

We know how to handle him.

-Oh, yes.

We have been through this a million times.

-You mean this has happened before?

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

-Yeah, he marries them, murders them, marries them, and murders them.

-Oh!

-Murders their mothers.

-Ohh!

-Yeah.

-But he seemed so normal.

-I know, they all say that, don't they.

-She doesn't know the signs.

-The telltale signs.

-The fatal signs.

-The fatal signs.

-Signs?

What signs?

-Well, there's a certain phrase he uses.

-Just before he snaps.

-Have you ever heard him say... -What ho!

-That's it!

-Edna!

-Shhh!

-I-I mean, Evelyn!

-Oh, I've been looking for you everywhere, Mums.

I say, how do you like it?

-Whoa!

Whoa!

-Ohhh!

-Jesus Christ.

-Dear me, is she alright?

-It's alright, she's just playing dead.

-Oh, my God, Mother!

Mother!

Billy, what have you done?

-Hope, I can explain everything.

-You just don't know when to stop, do you, Billy?

-His name isn't Billy, dear.

It's Evelyn.

And Evelyn isn't Evelyn.

He's Edna.

[ Laughter ] And Edna's really Mona!

-I'll show you who he is!

-It's him!

-No!

-Hey, he's getting away!

-Come on, after him!

-Evelyn, will you please take Mrs. Harcourt back to her cabin?

-Righto.

-Oh, dear me, dear me.

What else can go wrong?!

-There, there, Mums.

Cheer up.

-[ Sobbing ] Woof, woof!

-Ohh!

Cheeky!

-How long are you going to keep up this ridiculous act?

-I beg your pardon?

-You're in love with him.

Why don't you just admit it?

-I really don't think that this is any of your -- -You know, he may want you now, but he's not going to stick around forever.

Half the women in New York are crazy about him.

Why, just the other night, one of the best-looking dames I know practically proposed to him.

-She did?

Well, who was she?

-Me.

[ Laughter ] -[ Crying ] -Oh, I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I just can't help it.

-Eh?

-I said I just can't help it!

Oh, if only I'd have told him how I really feel.

-How's that?

-I'm crazy about him.

-Eh?

-I said I'm crazy about him!

Oh, this is tragic.

I've ruined my life.

I've ruined his life!

I've ruined everything!

-Oh, things don't look that bad to me!

-Sorry, I couldn't sleep.

-The Lord works in mysterious ways, Evie, but this time he's got even me stymied.

My two best friends are in the slam, and tomorrow morning... Well, you know all about that.

Here's to the happy groom.

-Oh!

-Miss Sweeney, you see before you a man staggered by a revelation.

The woman I am destined to marry tomorrow is not one and the same with the woman I love.

-You mean you're not in love with Hope?

That's great!

I mean, gee, it's a good thing you found out.

I mean, just in time and everything.
