Reflections on Life and Storytelling
Morgan
How long have you been away from home?
Slim
This is about the time for it, isn't it?
Morgan
The time for what?
Slim
The story of my life. How do you want me to begin?
Morgan
I've got a pretty fair idea already.
Slim
Who told you?
Morgan
You did. That slap in the face you took.
Slim
Yeah, what about it?
Morgan
You hardly blinked an eye. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do that. Yeah, I know a lot about you, Slim.
Slim
The next time I get slapped, I'd better do something about it.
[She storms out]
Morgan
Hey, you forgot your drink.
Slim
I don't want it.
Morgan
Who's sore now?
Slim
I am.

Planning a Departure and Job Confirmation
Morgan
I was getting you a ticket on the plane this afternoon that leaves at four. Can you make it?
Slim
Sure. You took that job, didn't you?
Morgan
Uh huh. See, I figure this way, you wouldn't get your feet wet.
Slim
Yeah, that's right.
Morgan
Well, that's what you wanted, wasn't it?
Slim
Sure, but I just...You want me to go, don't you?
Morgan
Yes, I want you to go.
Slim
OK, Steve.
Morgan
Help her get on that plane, will you Cricket?
Cricket
I sure will, Harry.
Morgan
Now I'm gonna be pretty busy from now on, so I probably won't see you again. If I ever get up your way...
Slim
Yeah, do that. I'll leave my address with Frenchie so you can find me.
Morgan
Maybe I'll know how to whistle by then. So long, Slim.
Slim
So long, Steve. Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Perceptions and Misunderstandings in Relationships
Morgan
What made you so mad?
Slim
I've been mad ever since I met you.
Morgan
Most people are.
Slim
One look and you made up your mind just what you wanted to think about me. You were... Oh, what's the use?
Morgan
Go ahead, keep on going.
Slim
You don't know me, Steve. It doesn't work. I-I brought that bottle up here to make you feel cheap. That didn't work either. Instead, I'm the one who feels cheap now. I've never felt that way before. I want...I thought that maybe...Go on, get out of here, will you, before I make a complete fool of myself.

A Conversation About Opinions and Choices
Slim
Who was the girl, Steve?
Morgan
Who was what girl?
Slim
The one who left you with such a high opinion of women? She must have been quite a gal. You think I lied to you about this, don't you? Well, it just happens there's thirty-odd dollars here, not enough for boat fare or any other kind of fare. Just enough to be able to say no if I feel like it. And you can have it if you want it.
[She holds out the money]
Morgan
I'm sorry, Slim. But I still say you're awful good. And I wouldn't...
Slim
You wouldn't take anything from anybody, would you?
Morgan
That's right.
Slim
You know, Steve, you're not very hard to figure. Only at times. Sometimes I know exactly what you're going to say - most of the time. The other times , the other times you're just a stinker.
[She sits in his lap; She plants a kiss on his lips]
Morgan
What'd you do that for?
Slim
Been wondering whether I'd like it.
Morgan
What's the decision?
Slim
I don't know yet.
Slim
It's even better when you help.

Uncertainty of Departure and Connection
Morgan
It'll be rough, I'm broke. If we do get out of here, it'll be with a couple of hundred gallons of gas and a few francs, just about enough to get us to Port de Prince, maybe.
Slim
I've never been there.
Morgan
I don't know when you'll get back home. Could be a long time.
Slim
Could be forever. Are you afraid of that? I'm hard to get, Steve. All you have to do is ask me.
Morgan
How long will it take ya to pack?

Ownership and Boundaries in Relationships
Slim
Uh, sure you won't change your mind about this?
[She holds up the bills again]
Morgan
Uh-huh.
Slim
This belongs to me and so do my lips. I don't see any difference.
Morgan
Well, I do.
Slim
Okay. You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together - and blow.
[She opens his door and pauses]

Hidden Dangers in Everyday Situations
Morgan
It's a good thing you didn't get me in that tub.
Slim
Look out for those strings, Steve. You're liable to trip and break your neck.
Frenchie
Strings? I didn't see any strings.
Slim
They just don't show, Frenchie.

A Moment Before the Performance

Stick around for a while, she's gonna sing.

Give her my love.
Morgan
I'd give her my own if she had that on.

Courage and Fear in a Dangerous Mission
Morgan
Just how are you gonna get him away?
[about Pierre Velmar]
De Bursac
You don't think much of me, Captain Morgan. You're wondering why they have chosen me for this mission. I wonder too. As you know, I'm not a brave man. On the contrary, I'm always frightened. I wish I could borrow your nature for a while, Captain. When you meet danger, you never think of anything except how you will circumvent it. The word failure does not even exist for you, while I - I think always suppose I fail and then I'm frightened.
Morgan
Yeah, I can easily see how it wouldn't take much courage to get a notorious patriot off Devil's Island, but uh, just for professional reasons, I'd like to know how you're gonna do it.
De Bursac
We will find a way. It might fail, and if it does, and I'm-I'm still alive, I will try to pass on my information, my mission, to someone else. Perhaps to a better man who does not fail, because there's always someone else. That is the mistake the Germans always make with people they try to destroy. There will be always someone else...Originally, we planned to do everything from here, but then because of my own clumsiness, it was impossible. And that's the reason we have to go with you.
Morgan
Well, I couldn't even get you on the dock. They've got a man down there watching. There's one upstairs. They're all over the place. How would I get you through the streets?
De Bursac
How will you go?
Morgan
They're watching me to find you. As long as I haven't got you along, I can at least get on the boat. There'll be a fog again, and the tide will turn a little after midnight. I can cut loose and drift out beyond the breakwater before I start my engines. I'll still have trouble enough even without you...
De Bursac
Captain Morgan is right. This is not his fight, yet. Someday I hope, it may be because we could use him. You have done enough for us already. Gerard told me of your refusing Renard's offer to give us up.
Morgan
How do you know I won't do it yet?
De Bursac
There are many things a man will do, but betrayal for a price is not one of yours.

Decisions and Consequences in Departure Plans
Slim
Hello Steve.
Morgan
I thought you were gonna put her on the plane. What'sa matter, didn't it go?
[to Cricket; to Slim]
Slim
Yes, it went but I decided not to.
Morgan
Oh, you did. You know, I went to a lot of trouble to get you out of here.
Slim
That's why I didn't go.
Morgan
Yeah. You dames. A guy goes out and breaks his neck to...well, I might have expected it.
Slim
Steve? You're not sore, are you?
Morgan
Look. It would be alright if I had any dough but...
Slim
I got a refund on that ticket. Here.
[She hands him a wad of bills]
Morgan
Yeah, that's gonna help a lot. You better hang on to it...
Slim
We'll be alright, Steve. I've got a job.
Morgan
Doin what?
Slim
Frenchie seems to think I can sing.
Morgan
Well, it's his place.
Slim
Sometimes you make me so mad I could...
Morgan
...you could do what?

A Request for Johnson's Wallet
Slim
Hello.
Morgan
Let's have it.
Slim
What do you want?
Morgan
Johnson's wallet.
Slim
What?
Morgan
Come on.
Slim
What are you talking about? Hey mister, what's got into you? What do you think you're gonna do?
[He takes her by the arm into his across-the-corridor room, and locks the door behind him]
Morgan
I'm gonna get that wallet, Slim.
Slim
I'd rather you wouldn't call me Slim. I'm a little too skinny to take it kindly.
Morgan
Quit the baby talk. Which is it?
Slim
You know, Steve, I wouldn't put it past you. I didn't know you were a hotel detective.
[She pulls the wallet from inside her checkered suit and hands it over]
Morgan
Johnson's my client.
Slim
He doesn't speak so well of you.
Morgan
He's still my client. You oughta pick on somebody to steal from that doesn't owe me money.
Slim
He dropped it and I picked it up.
Morgan
And you were gonna give it back to him, of course.
Slim
No, no I wasn't. I don't like him.
Morgan
That's a pretty good reason.
Slim
Besides, I need boat fare to get out of Martinique.

A Curious Question About Bees
Eddie
Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?
Beauclerc
I have no memory of ever being bit by any kind of bee.
Slim
Were you?
[interjecting]
Eddie
You're alright, lady. You and Harry's the only one that ever...
Morgan
Don't forget Frenchie.
Eddie
That's right. You and Harry and Frenchie. You know, you got to be careful of dead bees if you're goin around barefooted, cause if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive, especially if they was kind of mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.
Slim
You have? Why don't you bite them back?
Eddie
That's what Harry always says. But I ain't got no stinger.
