I trust you are not over forty, Mr. Galy Gay?
|
I am not as old as that.
|
|
Wonderful. Have you by any chance got flat feet?
|
Somewhat.
|
|
That settles it. Your fortune is made. For the time being you can remain here.
|
Unhappily my wife is expecting me in connection with a fish.
|
|
The soldier's life...
... after which his courage is boundless, positively boundless. |
I realize that the soldier's life is a pleasant one.
|
|
Definitely...
... and have a right to be called Mr. at any moment: Mr. Jip |
You cannot wish to cause unhappiness to a poor porter.
|
|
You mean you want to leave?
|
Yes, I am leaving now.
|
|
What's the reason for your not wanting to be Jip, then?
|
The fact that I am Galy Gay.
|
|
It is our duty to offer you a chance to get in on this stupendous bit of business.
|
Business? Did I hear you say business?
|
|
Possibly. But you have no time for that, have you?
|
There's having time and having time.
|
|
Oh, you'd have time all right. If you knew what this bit of business was you'd have time all right...
|
I should think so. You mean it's a big bit of business?
|
|
For the President of Pakistan it might be. But it might not be all that big perhaps for a big man like you.
|
What would I have to contribute in this bit of business?
|
|
Nothing, Nothing.
|
I see.
|
|
What an utter Elephant!
|
Elephant? Elephants are a goldmine of course. If you've got an elephant you'll never end up in the workhouse.
|
|
Elephant? You bet we've got an elephant.
|
Would your elephant be such as to be instantly available?
|
|
An elephant! That's something he seems extremely keen on.
|
So you have an elephant available?
|
|
Who ever heard of a bit of business involving an unavailable elephant.
|
Well, in that case, Mr. Polly, I too would be glad to get my cut of this.
|
|
The only trouble is the Devil of Kilkoa.
|
THE DEVIL OF KILKOA, what's that?
|
|
Speak quieter. You're speaking the name of the Human Typhoon, Blood Five, our sergeant.
|
What does he do to get such names?
|
|
Oh nothing...
... he bundles him up in six feet of canvas and dumps him in among the elephants. |
So you need a man with a head on his shoulders.
|
|
You have that head, Mr. Galy Gay.
|
As a rule, because I'm no good at writing. But I fancy I'm the right man for any bit of business.
|
|
There's a woman out here who is looking for an individual called Galy Gray.
|
Galy Gay! Galy Gay's the name of the individual she's looking for.
|
|
Fairchild walks off to get Mrs. Galy Gay.
|
Don't worry, she's a gentle soul, being as how she's from a province where nearly everyone is friendly. You can rely on me. Galy Gay has tasted blood.
|
|
But are you really you in that army uniform?
|
No.
|
|
It's not easy being married to someone who cannot say no.
|
I wonder who she's talking to?
|
|
... Why don't you say something? Have you got a sore throat?
|
I do believe you are addressing all that to me. You've mistaken me for someone else, let me tell you, and what you're saying about him is stupid and tactless.
|
|
What's that? Mistaken you? Have you been drinking? He can't stand drink, you see.
|
I'm no more your Galy Gay than I'm the Army Commander.
|
|
I put the water on around this time yesterday, but you never brought the fish.
|
What's this about a fish? You are talking as if you had lost your wits, and in front of all these gentlemen too!
|
|
Do any of you know this woman?
How about you? |
I've seen many things in my life, but I never before set eyes on this woman.
|
|
Tell the woman your name.
|
Jeraiah Jip.
|
|
We'll soon put our finger on it, never you mind.
|
(Dances)
O moon of Alabama! It's time to say goodbye! |
