Three things.

Pardon

me,

sir. I wonder if I can impose on your good nature for a moment.

What can I do for you?

Well, I wonder if you'd be kind enough to change this $100 bill. The bartender

doesn't want to give up all these small bills.

Looks all right.

Thank you. I appreciate it very much.

Can I buy you a drink?

No, thank you.

Just in case those two fellows I won this from are poor losers.

Hey, can't be too careful.

Well, my friend set him up down the barn.

Otto Justin has had a stroke of good luck, and I feel like celebrating.

We'll drink until that's gone.

Macaws are noisy critters, aren't they, Mr. Justice?

Ah, but fat names, Mr. Fraser, fat names.

You know, they can imitate almost any sound a human can make, even to access,

and they can speak whole sentences.

Keep up that screaming all the way to St. Louis, they're going to hear some

sentences they never heard before in Africa.

Macaws are from South America, Mr. Fraser.

I bought them from a sailor in New Orleans when I landed there from Africa

with the other animals.

They're all a little excited now, moving about like this, but they'll quiet down

as soon as they're safely in the home.

Carrying a lot of animals upriver.

Horses, cattle, even goats.

Kind of makes me feel like a kid again going to the circus.

That's exactly where my animals are headed for, Mr. Frazier.

We're a traveling circus that's headed for the frontier out of St. Louis.

There are a lot of small towns springing up all over the country full of kids

and... And adults who would pay as much as a dollar apiece just to see wild

animals and birds from far off land.

Sounds like a money-making business.

Oh, you'd be surprised.

I beg your pardon. Are you the captain?

Well, I am for this trip, ma'am. Captain Holden's away in St. Louis on business.

I'm the pilot, Ben Fraser.

Well, I'm Abby Saunders. Oh, yes, Miss Saunders.

Welcome aboard.

This must be Patty, right? Yes. We're going to Memphis to live with Grandma

and Grandpa.

Well, I hope you enjoy your trip, Patty.

Sometime when I'm not busy, I'll take you down to the engine room and show you

what makes a boat go.

That'd be very nice of you, Mr. Frazier.

Where'd you get all the animals?

They're mine, son. I captured them in Africa.

All by yourself?

No, no. I had some natives to help.

Don't bother the gentleman, Patty.

Nothing at all, ma'am.

Otto Justin, Mrs.

Sons.

It's a pleasure, ma'am. I guess you already know Patty.

You'll have to excuse Patty for being so forward.

Not at all.

You and Mr. Saunders are very fortunate to have such a fine boy.

My husband is deceased.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cry.

I imagine you'd like to get settled in your quarters, my son.

Yes, that'd be very nice.

I'll get someone to carry your bags.

Oh, that won't be necessary, Mr. Fraser.

No, I'd consider it a privilege if Mrs. Saunders would allow me to assist her.

How very kind of you.

Silas, Joe and Mrs. Saunders are the Massachusetts captain.

Patty.

Can I see how much you move the animals, Mother?

I'll tell you what, Patty.

In a little while, when the animals are less nervous, I'll take you on a

personally conducted tour of every cage.

Really, Mr. Justin?

That's a promise.

All right, bring us that cargo over.

There, Justin's cargo's got a lot of clothes packing cases along with the

cages. What do you want to store them?

I want to bring it out. He's got the animal food in it.

All right, swing it aboard. We'll start in the hole.

Don't stack anything on top of these boxes.

First carry the cabin on the left, Matt.

Look, thank you very much, Mr. Justin. It was my pleasure, Mrs. Saunders. And

if any time during the trip I can be of any service to you, please do not

hesitate to call on me. You're very kind, but I think we'll manage.

Well, you know, sometimes these riverboats carry some pretty rough

passengers.

After all, you're a very attractive lady traveling alone.

Why, not at all, Mr. Justin. I have a young man right here who takes very good

care of me.

But, Mother, there could be some things I couldn't help you with.

What if one of the windows got stuck? He'd need a corner man to help you open

it. He's absolutely right.

You can never trust a window on a riverboat.

Particularly since they're not windows, they're shutters.

Oh, yeah.

So they are. Well, perhaps we'll meet again on the deck or in the salon.

Perhaps. It's a small boat.

Don't you like Mr. Justin?

Certainly. I think he's a charming gentleman.

Then why did you send him home?

Well, we have to unpack, dear.

Maybe he'll never come back and see us again. And won't let me see his animals.

Oh, he'll show you his animals.

And he'll be back to see us.

gun bearer was a good 10 feet away when that big cat sprang at me from out of

the trees.

Well, he didn't know how to shoot the thing anyway, so there was only one

thing to do and only a split second in which to do it.

So I grabbed a spear from one of the natives standing beside me, planted the

butt end of it firmly in the ground, and pointed it straight up in the air.

Then I crouched down quickly out of reach, just as the spearhead stopped

that panther in midair.

Did it kill him?

Well, if it didn't, at least he was the most surprised panther ever to jump out

of a tree.

Well, I'll tell you one thing, Justin. You got a lot more nerve than I have.

I won't even go out and set the traps. I'll let somebody else do that.

Skin the animals and deliver the furs all bundled up at the boat landing. Then

all I got to do is pay good hard cash for them. That's the only kind of

hunting I'm interested in.

It's an exciting life, Mr. Hardy.

I wouldn't give it up for anything.

How about another round?

Yes, sir.

I thought you'd be closed by now.

So did I, but the big game hunter over there would rather tell stories all

night than see me get a little sleep.

Hold it, Tustin. This one's mine.

You paid for the last one.

Well, it doesn't matter. As long as you keep me entertained with those stories

of yours, I'll buy you drinks all night long.

I'll get your change.

Well, thank you, Mr. Hardy.

Good day, gentlemen.

Ah, see you in the morning.

Um, don't say anything to Mr. Hardy, but I'm buying this drink.

No, it's too late at night to get me in the middle of an argument.

Just put it in with his change.

He'll never bother to count it.

It's for your trouble.

Thank you. Mr.

Justin. Yes, sir

Go

Hmm, been taking care of my animals.

Oh, by the way, if they should start making noise, I'd appreciate it if you'd

wake me up and tell them. I sure will.

A stranger going in there would just cause more of a disturbance.

That's right, Mr. Justin.

We wouldn't want them to wake up the passengers.

Right. Night.

Good night, sir.

You want me to take over for a while, Mr. Travis?

No, unless you don't think I can handle this rough stretch ahead.

That wouldn't speak very well for your ability as a teacher, would it?

Go on, Mr. Frazier, get some sleep.

You can't handle all of Captain Holden's duties on your own, too, without some

help.

Well, just don't try to set any speed records, huh?

Don't always be on the defensive, Mr. Carney. There's nothing wrong.

Well, then don't be bothering me. I've been trying to climb into me bunk.

I've been keeping you in business for 16 hours straight, you know.

Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without you, Carney.

You'd be floating back downstream.

That's what you'd be doing.

Now, what else is on your mind?

Well, I just want you to cut your speed in half. We got a stretch of river

coming up here. Never could decide just where it wanted its bottom to be.

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

Engine half.

One more thing, Connie.

Yeah?

Go to sleep.

Somebody there?

Who is it?

How do you start from the beginning and tell me everything you remember?

Must have been the forcing of the door that woke me up.

And I realized somebody was in the room.

He was all crouched down, so I couldn't get a good look at him.

I called out, and then the bookend hit me.

I don't know what happened after that, except that my wallet is missing.

You remember anything about him, the way he walked, his clothes, anything?

I told you, all I could see was a shadow.

I don't sleep with the lamp lit, but I should have if I didn't know what kind

of a boat I was riding on.

Mr. Hardy, I'm sorry this happened. You're sorry?

Do you know how much money I was carrying?

Over $4,000.

How am I going to buy furs without any money?

Anybody else on board know how much money you were carrying?

No, of course not.

You were spending pretty freely last night.

Yeah. I bought a couple of rounds of drinks. That doesn't mean anything.

Maybe somebody got a look inside your wallet.

Yeah.

Those men at my table, I never saw them before. Maybe one of them did it.

Si, did you see anybody wandering around the deck last night after the salon

closed? Not after Mr. Hardy and the other two fellas came out.

Just after Charlie closed up.

They all went to bed.

Oh, it was that fella Justin.

He was feeding his animals.

I saw him go into his cabin, too.

Nobody else.

You mean you didn't hear this break?

Angels are pretty noisy, you know.

Well, what are you going to do about them?

About who?

Those fellas I was drinking with.

What do you expect me to do?

Well, search them.

Find my money.

Arrest them.

Mr. Hardy, I can't accuse anybody of a thing like that without something

stronger to go on.

Something stronger to go on?

$4,000 of my money is somewhere on this boat.

If you don't find it, you can replace it. I hold you responsible, Fraser. Now,

is that strong enough for you?

Mr. Hardy, I'll do everything I possibly can to get your money back.

Without more evidence, I can't guarantee I'll get it or the man who did it. I'll

post a reward for the thief's arrest.

A lot of good that'll do.

Mr. Hardy, there are 49 passengers and crew on this boat.

One of them stole your money.

That means 48 of them are innocent.

Now, what do you expect me to do? Line 48 people up against the wall and search

them like they were criminals?

Are you going to let me handle this my way without getting everybody as upset

and as mad as you are?

I don't care what you do, Fraser. Just find my $4,000.

Come on, sir.

And get that door fixed. I don't want to be killed in my sleep.

You sure are pretty.

Here's a little fellow I know you'll like, Patty.

What kind of monkey is that, Mr. Justin?

He isn't a monkey, Patty. He's a baby chimpanzee.

You see, he doesn't have any tail. He's a member of the ape family.

He certainly is tame, isn't he?

That's because he's smart enough to know that I'm his friend.

You know, in some ways, he'll have the intelligence of a six-year-old boy by

the time he's full grown.

Don't get so close, Patty. You have to be careful. He won't hurt him.

Well, I don't care if he is a baby. Those arms look awfully strong to me.

They are.

But if he got mad, you see, he wouldn't grab you like a gorilla.

No, he's too clever.

You know what he'd do?

Well, he'd keep his distance and then he'd throw something at you or pick up a

club.

That's the way chimpanzees protect their families by throwing rocks.

Can I hold him, Mr. Justin?

Do you think you should? Oh, sure. Go ahead.

He's almost human.

Well, he's as close as you can get.

He's more like man than any other animal.

Why, he's as far above those monkeys as man is above the chimpanzee.

In intelligence and reasoning.

Or as some men are above others.

So look for anything suspicious, Carney. You know, one of them flashing too much

money, acting guilty, anything.

I'll do better than that, Mr. Fraser.

All right, you river rats!

I got something to say to you.

You see this?

I'm going to break it like a matchstick over somebody's head if I find it was

one of you that stole the money off that passenger last night.

And if it was, I'll find out.

I wouldn't put it past any of you.

What are you standing around for? Get back to work.

Don't worry, Mr. Frazier. With one of my men, this will scare him into giving

himself away.

Or getting rid of the evidence.

Not another thing.

If I catch anybody using money for fuel, I'll toss you in the fire pot along with

it.

Oh, I can't tell you when I've enjoyed anything so much, Mr. Justin. We both

thank you for your kindness.

Well, I was hoping you might feel obligated.

Enough to do something for me. Well, two things, really.

Yes? Well, number one, drop the formality. My name is Otto.

All right, Otto.

And number two, it's time for lunch and I'm hungry, but I dislike eating alone.

Well, then why don't we all have lunch together?

I consider your debt paid in full.

Oh, Patty.

Come along, dear. We're going to have lunch now.

I'm not hungry. Can I stay here and play?

Not now. Come along.

Goodbye. I'll be right back after lunch.

I'm sorry, Patty, but I don't think it's a very good idea for you to come in here

alone without me.

Yes, sir.

I'll bring you to see your pals another time. Don't worry.

This afternoon?

Mind your manners, Patty.

Now, he said he'd bring you back. He mustn't bother Mr. Justin about it.

Otto.

So after Patty's father died, I tried to hang on by myself.

It was just a small cotton farm, but after two years I sold it.

Needed a stronger hand than mine to keep it going.

So Patty and I will live with my parents in Memphis until I can decide what I

want to do.

Mother? Yes?

Will we go back and see the little chimpanzee this afternoon?

Now, what did I tell you about that?

Yes, ma'am.

You eat your lunch.

I thought I might try to open a little dress shop or something like that.

It's my guess that a lady as attractive as you are will be facing the decision

of which man she is going to marry before she has a chance to go into

business.

Once you've experienced the thrill of a safari in the jungle, you can never be

happy until you go back again.

And it's the same the next time and the next time.

Probably nothing in the world could ever make me give it up.

Unless, of course, I were to find the right woman.

Then I might be persuaded to settle down at one place.

Mother?

Oh, yes, Patty? Can I go see the chimpanzee again the first thing in the

morning? Oh, dear, can't you just enjoy the nice boat ride and the wonderful

river air?

I guess so.

The most beautiful lady who ever traveled up or down the Mississippi on

this or any other boat.

Thank you, Sid.

Shall we?

Mr. Justin?

Yes, Patty? What do little chimpanzees eat?

Oh, fruit, plant shoots, and a few insects.

Bananas? Hmm, mostly bananas.

Please, Otto.

You shouldn't have done that.

I thought we did it, Abby.

Can you tell me you didn't want me to kiss you?

What must you think of me? I only met you yesterday.

You can't measure your feelings in terms of time, Abby.

Particularly on a boat where a day is equal to at least a week on land.

It still doesn't make it right.

Yes, it does, Abby.

Patty, you do like him, don't you?

Who? Otto.

Mr. Justin.

I guess so.

Do you?

Yes.

I like him very much.

Gonna marry him?

What makes you ask that?

I heard you talking outside the door.

Well, how would you feel about it if I did marry Mr. Justin?

I don't know. It'd sure be fun to have my own pet chimpanzee.

Well, you've been pretty lucky tonight, Mr. Jameson.

If your luck holds out, you can retire from selling pots and pans to

housewives. I've never had such a winning streak in my life before.

Well, I'll pay my last hundred dollars to see if your luck holds.

And I'll call you.

There we are.

Kings full of queens. Now, what do you think of that?

I think I better go feed my animals.

Too fair.

Good night, gentlemen. See you in the morning.

Good night.

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

Hi, baby.

Did you think I wouldn't be back to see you? Well, I brought you something.

Oh, boy.

See? I know you're like that.

Sorry to wake you up, Mr. Justin.

But I was afraid the noise would disturb the deck passengers. I'm glad you did.

By the way, I'd appreciate it if you could keep anybody else from coming into

the hold.

I'll have a hard enough time quieting those birds without strangers around.

Get back in your cage. Go on.

Go on.

Back in your cage. Go on.

What are you doing down here?

I'm sorry, Mr. Justin.

Where'd you get that wallop? The big monkey gave it to me.

Gee, I didn't know there was a big monkey down here.

Give it to me, Patty.

I thought I told you not to come down here alone.

You gonna tell my mother?

No, I'm gonna let you do that.

In fact, if you'll help me quiet these birds... We'll both cover.

Now you go speak to them softly, and I'll get some feed.

Yes, sir.

Mr.

Justin? Yes, Patty? I'm sorry I disobeyed you.

I don't think any harm will come of it.

Where did this young man come from?

He was just having a midnight snack with his new friend, the little chimpanzee.

So that's what the birds are making all that fuss about, huh?

I don't think there'll be any more disturbance tonight.

Thank you, Mr. Justin. Night.

Come in.

All right, all right.

Jameson, what happened to you?

I got robbed.

Robbed and slugged over the head. That's what happened to me.

When did it happen?

No, I don't know. I was knocked out.

Half hour, hour, maybe longer. I don't know.

It's that time to get rid of the money. And himself.

I don't suppose you got to look at him.

Not him, Frazier.

It. What?

I saw it.

I touched it.

What are you talking about?

There was no man in my cabin, Frazier.

It was some kind of a... some kind of a big animal like an ape.

You got a pretty nasty cut on your forehead. You better let me get it

passed up.

Then you can start from the beginning and tell me everything you remember.

Yeah, all right.

Don't think just because I got a chair busted over my head that... I don't know

what I'm talking about.

And the big monkey didn't hurt me at all. He just wanted to play.

He'd give me all his money.

But then Mr. Justin walked in. Patty, are you sure you just didn't dream all

this? No, Mother, it really happened.

Ask Mr. Justin.

What's it all about, Otto?

Well, it's really a very simple explanation, Abby.

However, it's most important that you hear it now.

All right.

Well, if you'll just step out into the companionway with me for a moment.

Well, it's awfully late.

All the more reason why we shouldn't disturb Patty.

He's lost too much sleep already.

Yes, he shouldn't be up.

Dear, I'll be just outside.

You get back in bed and go to sleep, okay? Okay, Mother.

Do you have an idea what it's like to be awakened out of a sound sleep and be

expected to comprehend a wild story like the one Patty told?

Do you have any idea what it's like to have somebody stumble on your most

closely guarded secret?

Secret?

It could cause trouble, Abby, and it could be very costly to me.

You see, everything Patty told you was true, except what he saw was not a big

monkey. It was a full-grown chimpanzee, and rather large as chimpanzees go.

I don't remember seeing any large ones down there. Well, that's because I keep

it hidden in one of the packing cases.

Hidden? It wouldn't do for people to know I had such an animal with me.

You'll have to forgive me, Otto. This still doesn't make any sense.

You see this, Annie?

It's the juice of a plant that grows in Africa.

The nose of a chimpanzee is particularly sensitive to this smell.

Though to the human being it's almost odorless.

Well, my animal has been trained to follow this scent and bring back to his

cage anything that bears its odor.

He's also been trained to fight if necessary to perform that function.

But why, Otto?

Because usually what my chimpanzee retrieves is of great value.

Like that, uh...

That money that Patty saw him with last night.

Otto, where did you get that money?

From a man named Jameson. He was a heavy winner at the poker table.

Well, I was afraid that all that money might be too rich for his blood. Looked

like almost $2,000 because I haven't had a chance to count it yet.

And the man who was robbed last night?

Mr. Hardy, yes. He was good for over $4,000.

Otto!

Well, you see the trouble it could cause, Abby.

Patty's stumbling on my secret like this.

Why? You're nothing but a thief.

Oh, look.

Now, Abby, don't make it any more difficult for me than it already is.

I've become very fond of you and Patty. Don't touch me.

I guess I can thank you for making a complete fool out of me. Let go of me.

Abby, control yourself.

It may save your life.

Look, it's unfortunate that Patty found out what he did in the hole.

But it happened.

Now it's your responsibility to see to it that the information you both have

goes no further.

If either you or the boy tells anybody what you know, I'll have to kill you.

Sure, I've already realized nearly $6,500 in less than three days on this

boat. And I will not permit anyone to put me out of business while we're still

this far away from St. Louis.

I hope you won't be foolish enough, my dear, to put my threat to a test.

Even if I'm out of the way, you know that I'm clever enough to have you taken

care of It's bad enough for a boy to grow up without a father Mr. Justin,

I like to see you a minute, please. Thank you. Mr.

Fraser certainly well Remember what I said my dear I mean it more than I ever

meant anything in my life Good night See you in the morning

Now, Mr. Fraser, what can I do for you?

Keeping the young lady out kind of late, aren't you? Well, if the young lady

doesn't mind, Mr. Fraser, why should you?

I was just telling her about her young son's middle-of-the-night escapade.

Yes, I heard about it.

Is that what you want to see me about?

No, it isn't.

You know Mr. Jameson, I believe?

Yes, he plays a tough game of poker.

Well, what happened, Jameson?

Why the bandage?

I was attacked and robbed by a big... by an ape.

Really? Well, that sounds most extraordinary.

Is that all you have to say about it?

Well, why should I say more?

That depends on how much more you know about it.

Sounds like you're trying to accuse me of something.

We've had two robberies on this boat since we left Natchez.

At least one of them was committed by a large hairy animal resembling an ape.

According to Mr.

Jamison. Saw what I saw. I had my hands on it, too.

You know about such animals, Justin.

You even have one in your cargo, I believe.

I have a baby chimpanzee.

I assure you that he would be incapable of doing such a thing.

Maybe. But there's one more thing.

You were with each of the victims just before they retired.

I saw you with Mr. Hardy myself last night.

Mr. Jameson tells me you played the last hand of poker with him tonight.

Then you are accusing me.

Let's just say I'm investigating you with the hopes of eliminating you from

the list of suspects.

Would you like to begin by searching my person for the money?

I'll do for a start.

You won't have another look at your animals down in the cargo hold.

My medicine.

Oh,

there you are, Mr. Jamison.

Now, does that feel like the big hairy ape who broke a chair over your head?

Don't be ridiculous.

I was just about to suggest the same thing to you.

And I've had just about enough of your insinuating that I'm making something

up. Oh, on the contrary.

I believe you're convinced of it.

But you'll have to admit that anybody who's awakened out of a sound sleep and

attacked, well, he might be a little bit, just a little bit inaccurate about

what attacked him. I saw it. I touched it. It wasn't my imagination.

It's a good banana if you're hungry, eat it.

No, thanks.

There's nothing stowed away in here, Mr. Fraser.

Eat more, man.

I guess you're right, sir.

Let's go.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking the same as he is, that I just

dreamed it up about that ape. I didn't say that. Well, I take it I'm no longer

a suspect, huh? I didn't say that either.

Go up and search Justin's room, sir.

Yes, sir.

And Si, if you don't find anything, get the crew up and get every passenger

that's on deck or in a cabin down the salon to be searched.

And while they're there, go through all their things.

You mean now, sir? In the middle of the night?

I mean now.

I'm going to put a stop to this foolishness before the sun rises.

He's going to tell Mr. Fraser about Mr. Justin.

Oh, no, Patty.

No, you heard what he said.

Now, listen to me.

You must promise me you'll never say a word about this to anybody.

Not a single solitary person. Do you understand?

I promise.

Oh, and don't be afraid, darling.

We'll be getting off the boat soon, and we'll never have to see him again.

I know how you people feel about being roused out in the middle of the night.

It's better than being attacked and robbed while you're asleep.

And it could happen to any of you if we don't find out who's doing it.

Until we do find the thief, everybody on this boat is a suspect.

So this is the best way to get your name cleared. If you'd done this when I told

you to, you wouldn't be worrying about a second robbery now.

I wish I could give you as good a guarantee, Mr. Hardy, that even this

would stop.

Now, if you'll just step up here a few at a time, we'll get this over as

quickly as possible.

I trust being in the midst of a crowd.

will not cause you to be filled with senseless courage, my dear.

One can be just as dead with people around us alone.

Okay, you're all right, ma'am.

Well, I sure hope so.

We didn't find a nickel, Mr. Fraser. We didn't overlook a thing.

All right, you people can go now. I'm sorry for your inconvenience.

Very dear.

Here, I'll do that, my dear. He's too heavy for you.

No, I'll wake him. He can walk.

Patty, wake him.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Saunders. I mean about keeping your boy up so late.

That's all right, Mr. Fraser. He can make it up tomorrow.

You look pretty tired yourself. She is, Mr. Fraser.

Now, if you'll excuse us, I'll see her safely to her cabin.

Come on.

You go on in now, Patty. I want to talk to your mother alone.

Please, not now.

Go on in, son.

You behave very well in the salon, Abby.

You're an intelligent woman.

Will you please just let us alone? We won't say anything.

I don't like having to watch you, my dear. Not like this.

It was so much nicer before Patty took that trip to the home.

There's no reason why it can't be like that again.

You were beginning to like me very much, weren't you? I feel nothing but contempt

for you.

Are you sure that's all?

No.

I'm afraid of you too.

And I'll keep your secret because I am afraid.

But I'll never feel anything but contempt for a thief.

Hattie, I want to talk to you.

I can't. Why not?

I just can't. Did Mr. Justin tell you not to?

No.

Hattie, you were down in the cargo hold tonight. Now, what happened?

I can't tell you. I can't tell you.

Will you please let me go in now?

Who was just in here, Patty?

Nobody. I saw that door close. Who was it?

Who was it? Let him alone.

Then you better make him answer me.

Patty, tell him what he wants to know and he'll go away.

It was Mr. Fraser.

What did he want?

He wanted to talk to me, but I didn't talk. What did you tell him? I didn't

tell him anything honest, Mr. Justin.

Don't leave this cabin, either one of you.

Don't think of it, Mr. Fraser. He might save me from a very unpleasant task.

All right, Coco, kill!

We'll get back in the cage. Come on.

Come on.

I'm not going to hurt you now. Come on.

Get in the cage.

I expect it must have been a good trip, huh?

Very good. Good, good. No river pirates this trip, huh? Not a one. That's fine.

I'm glad you had a good trip. Goodbye, Mr. Fraser.

Thanks for everything.

Hang on to your money, Mr. Hardy.

What happened to him?

I got slugged on the head.

Slugged? Goodbye, Mr. Fraser.

Glad you recovered my money.

I'm glad we solved the mystery, Mr. Jameson.

Mystery? Yeah, about the robberies. Hey, uh... Robberies? Keep your eye on that

fella.

Goodbye, Mr. Fraser.

Can't say the trip didn't have its brighter moments.

I think you ought to stick to big game hunting Justin I've never been in Africa

in my life.

I picked up the whole cargo from that sailor in New Orleans that figured

Morning He was robbed to know

gray he's the one about the ape on board Hey the one that robs all the passengers

robbed the patent I waited I thought you said that you had a good trip I didn't

say that, Gray. You didn't. Well, then, would you mind telling me the whole

story right from the beginning?

Well, I can't right now, Gray. I got to go to the zoo. Zoo?

Yeah, you don't want the Enterprise to end up traveling circus, do you?

See you later, Gray.

Yeah, but... Well, hello, Captain.

Welcome aboard.

Hello, Travis.

By the way, how was the trip?

Oh, just fine, Captain. Just routine.

Routine.
