Good evening.

I’m examining this pearl.

You should have seen the oyster.

I already have a customer
for this.

He’s a very wealthy
but suspicious gentleman,

who plans to give it
to his lady friend as a pendant.

I’m sure you agree
that this is the kind of gift

which inspires fidelity.

That is why I told him
I don’t think it’s necessary
to attach it to her ankle.

This is peculiar.

There’s a very sinister
gentleman in your future.

I think he’s trying
to tell you something.

Huh. Good morning.
May I help you?

Why, yes. Are you the manager?

I’m the owner, sir.
Laurent Dubois.

How do you do, Mr. Dubois?

I’d like to see
something really special today.

For a very special occasion.

Oh, of course, Mr...

Wilkens.
Hubert Wilkens.

How do you do, Mr. Wilkens?

Now, if I could have some ideas
as to the type of jewelry

and maybe the price range?

Oh, well, we-we don’t have
to worry about that.

You see, uh...

it’s for our wedding
anniversary.

Oh, well then...

if I may suggest a beautiful

diamond necklace.

Now, this is a particularly fine
one here.

Oh. No, I don’t think
it ought to be diamonds.

My wife has a lot
of diamond pieces already.

Of course, it is not
the gem alone that matters.

Mr. Wilkens, it is the design,
the workmanship of the piece.

For example,
see here this bracelet.

This is diamonds, yes,
but rubies.

Eh, I don’t think so.

I know. I know. I have some gems
but haven’t been placed
in settings as yet.

Some of them were left with me
on consignment. Would you like
to see those?

-Well, now you’re talking.
-Please, be seated.

Thank you.

Here we are, Mr. Wilkens.

Excuse me.

Now...
see here.

Look at this one.
This is a star sapphire
from Rathnapura in Ceylon.

Isn’t this beautiful?

Oh, it’s not bad.

And this pigeon’s blood ruby,
Mr. Wilkens,

now, have you seen
anything like this before?

Well, it’s all right.

Or...

this pearl here.

Now, look at the color
of this pearl.

A black pearl of this size,
you know, is very rare.

This is a black Pinctada.

Found only
in the Gulf of Mexico.

And this happens to be
a very fine specimen.

Now, isn’t that something?

Yes, and it would be so simple
to have it mounted
in a beautiful setting.

Like a ring or a pendant.

All right, all right,
Mr. Dubois. I’ll take it.

Yes, but we haven’t discussed
the price yet, Mr. Wilkens.

Well, how much, how much?

Well, as I said, this pearl was
left with me on consignment,
you see and...

All right, all right,
Mr. Dubois. How much?

$5,000.

Without the setting, of course.

I know this is a large amount
of money, Mr. Wilkens and I

wouldn’t expect you
to be carrying that much cash.

What’s the matter?
Is my check no good?

Oh, no, no, no. It’s not that.

All right.
I understand, Mr. Dubois.

I’m a businessman myself.

Now, you just take my check over
to the Third National Bank

and get your cash.

Then you deliver the pearl
tonight to my hotel suite.

I’m staying at the Dover.

Well, that will be fine,
Mr. Wilkens. Thank you.

Just make sure
you get it there tonight.

I want it in time
for our anniversary.

Mr. Wilkens, I will deliver
the pearl myself, sir.

Thank you.

-Good day, sir.
-Good day.

-Conroy.
-Yes, sir?

-Got an errand for you.
-Yes, sir.

You know that fellow McCabe
the one who left the pearl
with us in consignment?

-You mean that sailor person?
-Yes, that’s right.

He lives in a boat at Pier 16.

I want you to take him
a check this afternoon.

Uh, personally?

Couldn’t you mail it, sir?

No. Because I want to have
a signature on the bill
of sale today.

As a matter of fact,
I can make it out now.

For $4,000,
less one-third commission.

Figure it out
and I’ll make out the check.

$4,000? I thought we had it
priced at five.

Conroy, what did I promise you
when I first hired you?

You, uh, you said you would
teach me the jewelry business,
Mr. Dubois.

You just had your first lesson.

Mr. McCabe?

Mr. McCabe!

What’s all that hollering?

It’s, uh, it’s me, Mr. McCabe.

Conroy, from, uh,
Dubois Jewelers.

Yeah. What do you want, sonny?

Uh, may I come on board,
Mr. McCabe?

I’ve, uh, I’ve got some business
with you.

Come ahead.

May I come in?

You’re in, aren’t you?

What’d you do, sonny?
Bring your homework from school?

Mr. McCabe,

I came here on a matter
of business.

Regarding that pearl, uh,
you left to be sold.

How about a little drink first?

No. No, thank you.

Uh, would you mind
if I sat down?

Mr. Dubois,

asked me to, uh,
bring you this bill
of sale for the pearl.

And his, uh, and his check.

You sold the pearl, did you?

I bet you got a good price
for it too.

That sure was a beauty.

Well, what do I get?

Here’s the bill of sale.

Now, uh, you’ll just sign
right here on the bottom line.

Now, wait a minute, sonny.

What did that skinflint boss
of yours sell it for?

The price was $4,000.

Less the store’s commission
of thirty-three
and a third percent.

-Now, that makes
your total price--
-What did you say?

$2,666.

Sonny, didn’t they teach you
at school that black pearls
cost more money than that?

-Please, Mr. McCabe!
-[yelling]

Please! I’m only Mr. Dubois’
assistant. Mr. Dubois
made the sale.

Well, you take that bill of sale
back to Mr. Dubois
and tell him to...

Then I take it you don’t want
to make the deal?

You say you got the check
with you?

That’s right.

Well...

I am running low on money and...

that pearl’s been
on the market a good two months.

It, uh, it really isn’t
a bad price, Mr. McCabe,
considering.

All right, let me have
that bill of sale.

Is the man here, poopsy?

Yes, sugar cup.
He’s here.

Come on.
Come on.

Lolly, don’t you want
to see the pearl?

No.

Oh.

Oh, Mr. Dubois,

this is Mrs. Wilkens.

Lolly, he came all the way
over here

just to bring you
this beautiful black pearl.

Mr. Dubois,

tell her where it comes from.

Yes.

Uh, well,
this is a black Pinctada,
Mrs. Wilkens,

and it is found only
in the Gulf of Mexico.

I don’t like Mexico.

The hotel there
wasn’t even air conditioned.

Honey bunch, just look at it.

Did you ever see
such a gorgeous pearl?

Well, I guess it’s all right
if I only had one ear.

I beg your pardon.

Mr. Dubois...

I’m-I’m afraid
that’s the trouble,

You see, I told Lolly

that I got her one pearl.

And I guess she just doesn’t
know what to do with one pearl.

Oh, I see.

Yes. Uh...

Mrs. Wilkens...

Mrs...

Allow me. Mrs. Wilkens,
may I suggest, that a ring...

-A ring?
-Oh, please. [mumbles]

A ring!

She doesn’t like rings.

Oh, that’s all you ever
bring me. Rings!

I’ve got rings for every finger.

Rings for every day of the week.

Rings for every month
of the year.

Where am I going
to put another ring? In my nose?

Oh, now you’re getting yourself
all upset.

Now, we won’t say another word
about rings.

Not another word!

Oh, I want earrings!

You know I like earrings!

-I know.
-Poopsy.

You used to say
I had such pretty ears.
Didn’t you?

Oh, yes.

Oh, you certainly have.

Here.

You dry your pretty eyes.

She’s such a sensitive girl.

Yes, I can see that.

Yes.

Mr. Dubois...

There’s only one way
to solve this problem.

Yes?

I’ll have to get another
black pearl.

A matched one, of course,
and I can have

a pair of earrings made up.

-Another black pearl?
-Yes.

But Mr. Wilkens, I’m afraid
that you don’t appreciate
how rare a black pearl is.

-I mean--
-I know, I know it’ll cost
a lot but...

that’s all right.

You just spend
whatever you have to spend.

But he’ll have it in time
for our anniversary, won’t he?

Well, it just isn’t possible.
I mean, it’s so short a time.

Oh, I know you can do it,
Mr. Dubois.

But it might cost you
a lot of money, Mr. Wilkens.

Much more than you paid
for the first one.

-A matched pair, you know, is--
-It doesn’t matter.

You get me the pearl!

Let me worry about the money.

I want her to be happy.

That’s all I care about.

Well, I-I’ll do my very best,
Mr. Wilkens.

Good.

Goodnight, Mrs. Wilkens.

Hmm, goodnight.

Goodnight, Mr. Wilkens.

[sweetly]
Goodnight.

[normal voice]
Goodnight.

[Mr. Dubois]
McCabe.

McCabe.

Dubois. What do you want?

Well, I-I have to talk to you.

Shove off.

I’ve got a proposition for you.

Big proposition.

Don’t try to sweet talk me,
Dubois.

I know you cheated
on that pearl.

I’m sorry you were disappointed
in the price, Captain.

So I thought
I’d make it up to you.

Make it up to me? How?

By offering you a new deal,
Captain.

Much more profitable deal.

You told me once that, uh,

you had found
several black pearls
on that expedition of yours.

Well, now,
if you happen to have

a matched pearl
for the first one,

I’d-I’d be willing
to buy it myself, you know.

No commission.
Just a straight sale
between friends.

You want to buy a pearl
from me, huh?

Yes.

And I’d give you twice the money
you got for the first one.

All right.

Suppose I do have
another black pearl.

Yes?

Only suppose I set my own price
like, uh...

$7,000.

Net.

Really, McCabe.
Let’s be sensible.

But do you have such a pearl?

You mean, um,

a black pearl like, um,

like, uh, like this?

Yes, yes.
Something like this, yes.

You know, Captain, you shouldn’t
keep such valuable gems
around lose like that.

I mean, you should put them
in the bank where they
would be safe, you know.

Eh, you may be right.

I’d hate to lose
a beauty like this to,

to any kind of thief.

Pretty, isn’t it?

Yes, yes, it’s not bad, yes.

Of course,
it’s not a perfect match
to the other one.

I don’t know.

Looks like a pretty perfect
match to me.

Fine, then. That’ll do fine.

Fine.

So, $7,000 you say, huh?

Well, you want to do business
with me or not, Captain?

You give me the pearl,
I’ll give you the check.

[chuckles]

What’s the matter?

You must want that pearl
awful bad, huh, Dubois?

Well, you’re not getting it.

Not for 7,000,
not for 50,000.

-Really, McCabe--
-The only thing you’re getting
off this boat

is your own ugly hide!

-Now get off
before I throw you off!
-7,000...

Get off my boat
before I throw you off!

Off!

[telephone rings]

Hello, Laurent Dubois.

Yes, Mr. Leggett, how are you?

Fine.

Yes, that’s right,
about 18 or 20 carats, yes.

You don’t have it, huh?

You can’t.

All right, thank you,
Mr. Leggett.

Yes, thank you.

Well, there goes my last hope.

I thought Leggett would be sure
to come through.

If Mr. Wilkens was willing to go
as high as 20,000 for the pearl,

perhaps we could, uh, offer
McCabe more money, say, uh,

say 10,000.

10,000? Are you
out of your mind, Conroy?

You know that pearl
isn’t worth 10,000.

But if Mr. Wilkens
was willing to pay 20,

well you-you’d still have
100 percent profit, Mr. Dubois.

100%?

Yes, that’s not bad.

100%.

All right, get me a bottle
of whiskey, Conroy.

I just thought we would have
a friendly drink together,
Captain.

I brought the bottle
so we could celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Give me one reason why
I should have a drink with you.

A business deal, Captain.

Here.

What’s your proposition, Dubois?

I bet you, you face danger
many times.

Diving for those pearls,
ten fathoms below the surface.

Now get to the point,
what do want from me?

You know what I want, Captain.

I want the pearl.

And I’m willing to give you
a price

that even you can’t resist.

Is that so?

That so.

$10,000, Captain.

Now even you know that the pearl
isn’t worth 10,000,

but that’s what I’m willing
to offer.

-10,000, huh?
-Uh-huh.

That’s how much I value
your goodwill, Captain.

Is it a deal?

-That sure is a lot of money.
-Uh-huh.

Oh, allow me.

Captain McCabe!

Ca-Captain McCabe!

Nothing sweetens the smoke
like a $10,000 check.

All right, McCabe.

What do you want?

I came here to do business
with you and I’m not going away
empty-handed.

So you name your price.

What’s that, sport?

All right.

$13,000, McCabe.

That’s a lot of money.

Not enough.

All right.

14,000.

You can’t turn down
an offer like that.

Yes I can and that’s exactly
what I’m doing.

McCabe!

McCabe.

$15,000.

Well...

-I’m not one to hold a grudge.
-Good.

-Of course, I don’t have
the pearls here anymore.
-You don’t?

No, I took your advice
and put them all
in a safe deposit box

at the Third National Bank.

Oh.

Oh, that’s all right.
We’ll go to the bank right away.

You give me the pearl,
I’ll give you the check.
Does that suit you?

Well, that...

That suits me fine.

Wait a minute,
aren’t you forgetting
something first?

You strike a hard bargain,
McCabe.

Here you are, sport.
It’s all yours.

Thank you.

I think I better take it
to my client right away.

Goodbye, Captain.

[woman]
Come in!

This is Laurent Dubois,
Mrs. Wilkens.

-Where’s Mrs. Wilkens?
-Huh?

Mr. and Mrs. Wilkens,
this is their suite, no?

Ain’t nobody here now, mister.

What do you mean ain’t nobody?

That’s ridiculous.

Mrs. Wilkens?

They told me
they’d be here on...

But they--
they’ve got to be here!

They can’t do that to me.

Hello, darling.

-Daddy?
-Yes, dear?

That Mr. Dubois,

he wasn’t a very nice man,
was he?

No.

No, I wouldn’t say he was.

But perhaps he’s been taught
a lesson.

Mmm, feels better now.

That was the worst part
of this job, that beard.

Oh, and living
on that filthy boat.

Well, you played your part
to perfection, Randolph.

Mmm, yes, darling,
you were wonderful.

Well, thank you. You were
pretty wonderful yourself.

Oh, and so was your father.

Daddy’s always marvelous.

Well, thank you, daughter.

Oh, say...

let’s take a look
at the balance sheet, huh?

Oh, this is beautiful.

I paid $5,000 for the pearl,

Dubois gave you 2,600,

then he paid $15,000.

Making a profit for us
of 12,600.

Not bad, huh, sweetheart?

Poor Mr. Dubois.

He’s probably tearing
his hair out right now.

Wait, till he finds out he had
to pay $15,000
to buy the same pearl twice.

[laughing]

Well, head you course
due south, sport.

There’s bigger
and better suckers
on the horizon.

Goodness, what cynicism.

Those of you who like
to see evil doers punished,

will be overjoyed to know

that is exactly what happened
in the next reel.

However,
to make the rest of you happy,

we shall spare you the pain
of actually seeing it

and shall show a commercial
instead, after which,
I shall hustle back.

In closing,

I would like
to explain something

to Ms. Ethel T.,
of Pasadena, California.

She doesn’t care
for our cynicism,

and has asked

why don’t we present
more sweet little stories.

We would like to, Ms. T.,

but they’re much too fattening.

So, until next week,
at this time,

goodnight.
