Ohhhhhh... How much is here?

11 million lira.

Roughly, $18,000.

Beautiful!

What did you quit for?

I had to.

Something went wrong, and I lost the last 3 bets.

You lost?

How could you lose?

I'm not sure.

Some variable in the game...

A different ball, maybe.

Anyhow, I've got more data to flash Max.

As soon as we get the answers, we'll be back in the ball game.

Come in!

No!

It's ok, it's only Pam.

She knows, too.

She knows?

You even told a stranger?

She's not a stranger.

I ran into her at the casino.

We're engaged.

Engaged?

All right, now listen, little girl.

Just because a fellow makes a small killing in roulette

doesn't mean you have to stick your claws into him.

Fergie!

How much you take to blow town?

Will you stop?

We've known each other for years.

Besides, she's got $60 million of her own.

What system do you use?

The capitalistic system.

Pam dunston, this is my friend, crazy Fergie Howard.

How do you do, crazy Fergie?

How are you?

The data!

Stay with me.

We've got work to do.

I'll flash this out to Max.

Where's Beau?

He went to buy some more glass.

At a time like this?

That's desertion!

11 million lira?

How do you do?

I'm crazy Julie Fitch.

Congratulations, and welcome to the asylum.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry.

That does it.

- How long for an answer? - Any second.

It's just a few simple coordinates.

Come on, Max. Give!

Hold it!

Now, what is it?

More flashing from shore, sir, just a moment ago.

Did they get a bearing on it?

Yes, sir.

The blinker is right here in the hotel, sir.

Operation 4 immediately!

What was the message?

Picket 6, this is 1.

Did you intercept the message?

Over.

Just numbers... Well, well, what was it?

Just more numbers, sir.

From zero to 36.

Keep quiet!

Any answer from the ship?

Yes, sir.

Here it comes now, sir.

Here we go, jas.

Reverse... All... Directions... West...

To... East... Right... After... 12...

Drop... will... be... Repeated.

That's all, sir.

Right after 12, drop will be repeated...

Right after 12?

What time is it now?

11:30 more, sir!

More coming.

Well, maybe this will clear it up.

The... Square... Root... Of... 2...

Minus... Pi... Times... R.

Square root of 2, minus pi, times r...

Well, if I didn't know better,

I'd say we were being attacked from outer space.

And I don't know better!

The square root of 2, pi times r...

You call that a number?

- Certainly it's a number. - Yeah?

Well, try playing it on a roulette wheel.

Max has gone out of his mind.

He's sick!

You must've sent one number twice.

You fouled up the coordinates.

I fouled up nothing!

It's Max.

He knows he's gambling.

He knows, and he's against it.

Don't be ridiculous!

Well, then, he's made a mistake.

Max can't make a mistake!

Why not?

He's only human.

Fergie, will you please...

Gentlemen, are you depositing or withdrawing?

It's going to be all right, Fergie.

You just convert pi and the segments of a circle

into the square root... Now I understand.

Look, leave it to me.

It'll work.

Maybe you'd like to make a small personal loan?

Hello, Pam.

Hello, Julie.

They remember us.

Isn't that sweet?

Positively poignant.

Look, I'm sorry, honey,

but you know what this means to us...

You and me.

Julie... You've been very patient with me,

and I love you for it.

Tell you what...

Take you out on the town tonight, ok?

Where?

Roulette table, where else?

Be with you in a minute.

Beau?

He wouldn't ring.

Who is it?

United States Navy!

The Navy!

Fergie, your cap!

The blinker!...Money!

Signalman burford Taylor first class,

United States Navy, official business!

We have a report that certain guys is using a blinker light

from somewheres in the vicinity of this here hotel

for the possible purposes of espionage.

We have been ordered...

We don't know anything about that!

Just a minute!

I ain't finished yet!

We've been ordered to check the entire premises

of this here hotel.

I will now check this here suite

unless you have any objections,

which would be pretty suspicious.

Of course I have no objections.

Very well.

With your permission, I will institute the search.

Just what are you looking for?

Blinking has been reported, ma'am.

I am searching for a blinker.

Well, you don't have to search here.

I'm admiral Fitch's daughter.

And I am the secretary of the Navy's favorite son.

I mean it!

That's just a bedroom in there.

My orders are to search the premises,

and a bedroom is premises!

Good evening.

Anything I can do for you?

Good evening, lieutenant Howard!

It is indeed a pleasure to see you again, sir!

I'm afraid I don't place you, sailor.

Signalman burford Taylor, sir.

Well, the lieutenant may have forgotten,

but lieutenant was kind enough

to come to my assistance one night

when 3 army guys jumped me in a saloon in Tokyo.

- At ease. - Thank you, sir.

Signalman Taylor is searching the premises

for a blinker.

Fine. Let him search.

You don't mind, sir?

It's... orders.

Not at all. Go right ahead.

How about a drink?

Drink, sir?

Surely the lieutenant is not suggesting

that I take a drink while on duty, sir?

Certainly not.

I was talking to my friends here.

However, if you should happen to accept a drink

while my back is turned,

I certainly couldn't put you on report... could I?

As lieutenant knows, I am not a drinking man.

Say when, sailor.

When!

I should like to propose a toast.

To those intrepid men...

Who are we toasting?

You can't toast anyone without a drink!

Good heavens, man, you picked up an empty glass!

My friends, a toast to those intrepid...

Beautiful bourbon, sir.

And if I may say so, sir,

that was the most beautiful toast.

Thank you... Let's drink to it.

I'll go along with that, sir.

To Julie Fitch, the admiral's daughter!

She really his daughter?

Certainly.

Wow.

Lieutenant may not know this,

but this is the first liquor I've touched

since that night in Tokyo.

Very next morning, sir, I went on the wagon.

Is that so... why?

It was the martians, sir.

They tell me I kept seeing martians.

Martians?

Men from Mars, ma'am.

They say I saw 'em crawling all over the ship.

Did you?

Yes, sir.

Doctor thought I might've been allergic

to that fourth bottle of sake.

Look, maybe this man

better not have any more to drink.

No, no, perfectly all right, ma'am.

This isn't sake.

Ohhhh!

Well... How do you like that!

Even in Italy... Green stamps!

And now, with the lieutenant's very kind permission...

I will go in the blinker

and search for the bedroom, sir.

In the bedroom and search for the blinker!

As I said, sir.

Right through that door!

Thank you.

First, sir...

A short one for the road, sir.

And I'm off, sir.

Second thought, why search the bedroom?

United States naval officer would never hide a blinker...

Would you, sir?

Certainly not.

Certainly not, sir.

So, I will say good night and leave, sir.

Hey!

Don't let him go!

Ok, grab his belt!

1, 2, 3, heave!

Thank you, sir.

I must've gone through the wrong door, sir.

Yeah, it seems that way.

Which way?

- It's a blinker! - Where?

I don't see any blinker!

Someone's been setting up an air blink.

Spies, sir!

You mean this thing? That's no blinker.

Sir, I've been a signalman for 16 years,

and I know a blinker when I see a blinker...

And that's a blinker!

Damn it, get off there before you kill yourself!

It's ok, sir!

I'll get it, sir!

It's my duty, sir!

Sailor, you come down here right now, and that's an order!

Coming, sir!

Aahhhh!

Don't move!

Don't move!

It's all right, sir.

All I gotta do is turn around.

No!

Get around the other side, quick!

Is everything all right?

Everything's fine!

Take it easy.

Just take it easy!

Don't move.

Would you let go of that thing?

It's evidence, sir!

Evidence of espionage in this here hotel!

I'll give it to you.

I'll give you the blinker!

Let's get out of here!

I got it, sir!

I'll take that, sailor.

No, sir.

It's much too heavy for you, sir.

Now, will you hold this while I fix my pants?

Better watch your step, sir.

All right, now, back inside!

Yes, sir!

And will you stop saluting?

Yes, sir!

They're back, sir!

The martians are back!

The martians are back, sir!

That's not a martian!

They're all over the hotel.

We're surrounded by martians, sir!

They're not martians.

Look, it's only a statue.

Open your eyes!

It's nothing.

The martians are here!

The martians are...!

What is it, sir?

Now, I could have sworn I heard someone say that

the martians were... Don't be a nut!

Just don't look at them, do you hear?

Don't look at them.

Just keep your eyes closed.

They'll go away.

Ok?

All right.

Come on, be careful.

It's only a few more steps.

Hey, come on.

What's the matter?

Come on!

I think he's asleep!

What? Asleep?

For the love of... Wake him up!

No, no, don't wake him up.

He'll see them again.

Don't wake him up!

What will I do? Get him a blanket?

We got to wake him.

No, we don't.

Listen, all we have to do is...

I'll get it.

Now, keep your eyes closed and follow me.

Slowly.

Remember, keep your eyes closed.

No! Take it easy.

Take it ea-ea...

Come on.

Sailor!

Hup, hup.

About face.

Any word on operation 4?

We've searched the hotel from cellar to roof, sir.

No blinker yet.

Have they all reported in?

All except one, sir.

I can't seem to contact signalman Taylor.

Keep trying!

Yes, sir!

Operation 4 to signalman Taylor.

Can you read me, Taylor?

Come in Taylor!

Over.

Burford!

This is hermie.

What goes on?

Easy now.

We'll put him on the couch.

The Navy sure feeds him good.

Now I know what they mean,

when they say get the lead out.

Watch it, Pam!

That was captain Adam from the elmira.

He's on his way to the suite now, sir.

Good, good.

What?

What, what?

All right.

What do we do now?

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

One thing's for sure.

We can't go to the casino

and leave this guy here alone.

Maybe we could get a baby-sitter?

When he wakes up, he'll alert

the entire city of venice.

- Why should he? - Are you crazy?

He saw the blinker.

What blinker?

There is no blinker.

The blinker is in the canal.

Besides, he won't even remember it.

Jason, you hold down the fort, and I'll go to the casino.

No, the time has come, lieutenant Howard,

to call a halt to this whole affair.

We stop right now!

Stop?

On the brink of victory?

Julie, have you gone mad?

Did Washington stop at valley forge?

Did Dewey stop at Manila?

Did Napoleon stop at Waterloo?

You bet he did.

Julie, come.

Julie, things have been so messed up around here

that I haven't had a chance to talk to you.

But, I think I love you.

Fergie... I mean it.

You said you discovered something about me

between the fish and the souffle.

I discovered something, too.

- When? - I'm not sure.

I think it was when you let me

go ahead in spite of your father.

Any girl who would double-cross her own father,

that's my kind of woman.

Fergie!

No, I didn't mean it that way.

Well, how did you mean it?

Anybody else for post office?

Send a couple of shore patrolmen to that suite upstairs

and see if my daughter is... Never mind.

I'll have a look myself.

Don't worry.

Everything is all right.

All you have to do is watch him.

If he comes to, don't let him leave.

Hold him by force if necessary.

By force? That?

You won't have any trouble.

Just tell him you're a martian.

He's scared silly of martians.

Well, that's fine.

So am I.

And we're losing money.

Let's go.

We'll call you as soon as we bust the bank.

Don't forget.

Keep your eye on him.

Scusi, take us to the lobby, please.

Pam, that is not the elevator boy.

This is my father.

I'm so sorry.
