"That's it!" "Hundred honors and 90 below." "Nicely done, Strangways." "I have to give it to you." "I must leave you for a few minutes." "Order a round on my chit, professor." "Damn it all!" "Must you break off at this time every evening?" "Sorry, general." "My director is a creature of habit." "I get a call every day at this time." "Hurry back before the cards get cold." "Twenty minutes." "Don't doctor any hands while I'm away." "Same again." "Bless you, master." "Hurry, man!" "Get away quick!" "W6N, W6N, W6N calling G 7W." "How do you hear me?" "Over." "G 7W, London." "G 7W, London." "Receiving you." "Over." "Stand by to transmit." "Wait." "Out." "Here." "Hello, W6N, report my signals." "Over." "Hello, W6N." "Over." "Foreman of Signals." "Urgent." "Right." "Get me Ml6 radio security control." "What is it?" "Kingston, Jamaica broke contact." "Broken or faded?" "Broken." "Carrier wave is still established." "Did you check both frequencies?" "Yes, sir." "No joy on either." "Keep trying." "Let me know when they come up again." "Hello?" "Hello, W6N, report my signals." "Over." "Foreman of Signals, sir." "Jamaica's broken off mid-transmission." "No, sir, it's not a technical fault." "Yes, sir." "Will you tell him, sir?" "Very good." "Excuse me, are you a member?" "No, I'm looking for Mr. James Bond." "What name should I say, sir?" "Just give him my card, will you?" "Would you like to leave your coat over there, sir?" "The house will cover the difference?" "I need another thousand." "I admire your courage, Miss...." "Trench." "Sylvia Trench." "I admire your luck, Mr...." "Bond." "James Bond." "Mr. Bond, would you care to raise the limit?" "I have no objections." "Now." "Looks like you're out to get me." "lt's an idea, at that." "Eight." "Excuse me, sir." "Thank you." "Andre, I must pass the shoe." "I hope you'll forgive me, but it's most important." "Thank you." "Have those changed, will you?" "Too bad you have to go, just as things were getting interesting." "Yes." "Tell me, Miss Trench, do you play any other games?" "I mean besides chemin de fer?" "Golf, amongst other things." "Tomorrow afternoon, then." "Tomorrow?" "We could have dinner afterwards, perhaps?" "Sounds tempting." "May I let you know in the morning?" "Splendid." "My number's on the card." "See if he's there, will you?" "James, where on earth have you been?" "I've been searching London for you!" "00 7 is here, sir." "He'll see you in a minute." "Moneypenny!" "What gives?" "Me." "Given an ounce of encouragement." "You never take me to dinner looking like this, James." "You never take me to dinner, period." "I would, only M would have me court-martialed for illegal use of government property." "Flattery will get you nowhere, but don't stop trying." "Now." "What's all this to-do about?" "Strangways. lt looks serious." "We've been burning the air between here and Jamaica for three hours." "In you go." "Don't forget to write." "Good evening, sir." "It happens to be 3 a.m. When do you sleep, 00 7?" "Never on the firm's time, sir." "Sit down." "Jamaica went off the air tonight." "Right in the middle of the opening procedure." "Strangways has disappeared." "So has his secretary." "She was new." "We had just sent her there." "Was Strangways on something special?" "He was checking an inquiry from the Americans." "They had complaints about interference with their Cape Canaveral rockets." "They think it comes from the Jamaica area." "Does "toppling" mean anything to you?" "A little." "It's throwing the gyroscopic controls of a guided missile off balance with a radio beam?" "More or less." "Five million dollars worth of missile aimed at a spot in the south Atlantic but finishing up in the middle of the Brazilian jungle is bad enough." "Now they're going to try orbiting a rocket around the moon." "The American cia sent a man to work with Strangways." "Fellow by the name of Leiter." "Do you know him?" "I've heard of him but never met him." "Has he found out anything important?" "Ask him." "You're booked on the 7:00 plane to Kingston." "That gives you exactly three hours, 22 minutes." "Armorer." "I'll have background papers sent to you at the airport in a self-destructor bag." "You can study them during the flight." "I want to know what's happened to Strangways." "Take off your jacket." "Give me your gun." "I thought so." "Damned Beretta again." "I've told you about this before." "You tell him, for the last time." "It's nice and light, in a lady's handbag." "No stopping power." "Any comments, 00 7?" "I disagree, sir." "I've used a Beretta for 1 0 years." "I've never missed with it yet." "No, but it jammed on your last job." "You spent six months in hospital." "You carry a double-0 number. lt gives you a license to kill, not get killed." "Since I've been head of Ml6, there's been a 40 percent drop in casualties." "I want it to stay that way." "You'll carry the Walther unless you prefer to go back to standard intelligence duties." "No, sir, I would not." "Then from now on you carry a different gun." "Show him." "Walther PPK." "It's 7.65 mil, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window." "Takes a Brausch silencer with very little reduction in muzzle velocity." "The American cia swear by them." "Thank you, Major Boothroyd." "Thank you, sir." "Good night, sir." "Any questions, 00 7?" "No, sir." "All right." "Best of luck." "Thank you, sir." "00 7?" "Sir?" "Just leave the Beretta." "Miss Moneypenny, forget the usual repartee. 007's in a hurry." "Good luck." "There!" "You made me miss it." "You don't miss a thing." "How did you get in?" "Never mind." "You're here." "I decided to accept your invitation." "That was for tomorrow afternoon." "Do you always dress this way for golf?" "l changed into something comfortable." "I hope I did the right thing." "You did the right thing, but you picked the wrong moment." "I have to leave immediately." "Oh, that's too bad." "Just as things were getting interesting again." "When did you say you had to leave?" "lmmediately." "Almost immediately." "Hello, New York." "Your Pan Am 323 just landed in Kingston, Jamaica." "Taxi!" "Taxi!" "All right, go ahead." "Help yourself." "Taxi!" "Mr." "Bond, sir?" "Yes?" "I'm Mr. Jones." "Chauffeur from Government House." "Fine, we'll drop my bags at the hotel." "I want to check my reservation." "l can do that." "No." "You just take care of the bags." "Government House?" "Yes." "Principal secretary, please." "Hold the line, please." "Who wants him?" "James Bond." "Universal Exports." "Welcome to Jamaica, Mr. Bond." "Yes, your head office alerted us this morning." "Free for lunch today?" "One o'clock?" "That'll suit me fine." "By the way, have you sent a car for me?" "I didn't think you wanted an official reception." "Quite right." "One o'clock then." "Forgive me if I'm a few minutes late." "Where to first, sir?" "Government House, but no hurry." "Just take me for a ride." "You always drive this fast?" "I told you I wasn't in a hurry." "Sorry, sir, but I think there's some fellow trying to follow us." "Then I suggest you try and lose them." "Take the next right turn." "Now, Mr. Jones, talk fast before your friend doubles back." "Who are you working for?" "I don't know what you're saying." "I was sent to meet you at the airport." "By whom?" "By Government House." "I don't think so." "Both hands on the wheel!" "I'm a nervous passenger." "Get out." "Move!" "Keep your hands where l can see them." "Get up!" "Now talk." "All right." "Let me have a cigarette." "To hell with you!" "Sergeant, make sure he doesn't get away." "Cyanide in a cigarette?" "Fantastic." "No less." "Well, Duff, what have you got?" "The car was stolen." "We haven't identified the driver yet." "But he wasn't a Kingston man." "Wherever he was from, news of my arrival leaked." "We didn't advertise it, I can assure you." "Perhaps not." "It seemed someone had been selling tickets." "Anything more we can do for you?" "I'd like to meet the last people to see Strangways." "Nobody saw him after he left our bridge four at the Queens Club." "Who were the others?" "Professor Dent." "Metallurgist." "Runs a test laboratory." "Respected." "Clean bill." "Potter." "General, ex-army." "Been here ages." "Start with those." "Want them brought in?" "Lord, no!" "I'll meet them socially." "I'll introduce you at the club tonight." "Fine. I'd like to take a look at Strangways' place." "I'll run you up there now." "Go on in." "Oh, yes, that's a blood patch." "They've grouped it as O-Rh positive." "That's her group, all right." "The set was still switched on when we came round." "We tried to get through on that frequency, but it was dead." "And it'll stay dead." "All frequencies are changed when security's broken." "Receipt from Dent Laboratories." "Geology a hobby of Strangways'?" "Not that I know of, no." "Who is the man with Strangways?" "One of the local fishermen." "He drove the car that tailed me." "That so?" "That gives us something." "l'll have a check made on him." "You do that." "I want to have a bath before I meet Pleydell-Smith at the club." "One medium-dry vodka martini, mixed like you said, sir, not stirred." "Anything else?" "No, that's all." "Very well, sir." "Curious, old Strangways just vanishing like that." "Or is it?" "His secretary was very nice, very nice indeed." "Did you know her?" "l'd seen her around, you know." "I suppose none of you could throw any light on what happened?" "His conversation?" "Any hint?" "I never heard him talk about anything but big-game fishing and bridge." "He started fishing three weeks ago and was out practically every day." "Must've cost him something." "These fishermen ask the Earth to charter." "And Quarrel's the most expensive." "Quarrel?" "Cayman Islander." "Keeps a boat in the harbor." "I see." "Excuse me." "Where do I find Quarrel?" "Him." "Thank you." "Your name Quarrel?" "Maybe." "I'm a friend of Commander Strangways." "Ain't that nice!" "I like people who's friends of people." "I thought you might be able to tell me what happened to him." "As far as I know, nothing happened." "Unless you know different, captain." "Where did you take him in your boat?" "See that?" "That there's the Caribbean." "That's where." "Fishing." "I'm interested in fishing." "I'd like to charter your boat." "I'm sorry. lt's not for hire." "Seems I came to the wrong address." "That's all right." "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got business to attend to." "Hey, Puss Feller." "Well, if it ain't my friend what gets addresses mixed." "You got the right one now if you like good eating." "I do if the conversation matches it." "Back at the boat, too public." "ln there, it different." "After you." "Sure thing." "See we get a bit of privacy." "Nothing but." "Nothing but." "Pick a seat." "l'm fine." "Okay, mister, supposing you start the conversation." "How's about it?" "Ain't no use struggling." "Puss Feller wrestles alligators." "Right!" "Up slowly and face that wall." "Hold it." "Gently, gently." "Let's not get excited." "Frisk him." "Nothing." "Interesting." "Where were you measured for this?" "My tailor." "Savile Row." "That so?" "Mine's a guy in Washington." "Felix Leiter, Central Intelligence Agency." "You must be James Bond." "You mean we're fighting the same war?" "I spotted you at the airport." "When I saw you drive off with the opposition, I figured I must be wrong." "Quarrel's been helping me." "No hard feelings, I hope." "Only a sore hand." "Glad to know you." "That's Puss Feller." "He owns the place." "Hope he cooks better than he fights." "You could find out." "Nobody died from my cooking yet." "There you are." "Cape Canaveral is screaming." "They don't want anything to go wrong with this moon-rocket launching." "You say Strangways didn't think the interference was coming from here." "l suppose you cased the joint." "l checked unofficially." "You limeys can be pretty touchy about trespassing." "Strangways and Quarrel checked the offshore islands." "You found nothing?" "Not a thing." "Where did you look?" "Just about most everywhere." "Fire Island, Crab Key, Morgan's Reef." "Checked them all thoroughly?" "Except Crab Key." "We have no right to go there." "Why not?" "lt belongs to a Chinese" "Get her, Quarrel, and the camera." "Evening, missus." "You're hurting!" "Captain wants you to have a drink with us." "You're hurting me." "You can't mean it." "Good evening." "Why do you want another picture of me?" "I only got your hat at the airport." "Tell this ape to let me go." "Why do you want a picture?" "That's the way I earn my living." "Who pays you?" "The Daily Gleaner." "Anything I can do?" "Ever seen this girl before?" "She comes here sometimes." "She being a nuisance to you?" "You want me to get rid of her?" "No." "Ring the Gleaner and find out if they sent a photographer here tonight." "They didn't send me." "I work freelance." "Freelance?" "For whom?" "You" "Tell us and he'll stop." "We don't get nothing out of her." "Want me to break her arm?" "Another time." "The second time nothing's come out." "Give her her arm back." "Run along, freelance." "You'll be sorry!" "You'll all be sorry, you rats!" "One takes cyanide, another would have let her arm be broken." "Neither would talk." "Who puts that sort of scare into people?" "We better find out but fast." "What's so special about Crab Key?" "Why can't we go?" "It belongs to a Chinese character." "He won't allow anyone to land." "I had our naval reconnaissance planes take a look." "They found nothing but a bauxite mine low-scan C-H radar setup." "But there's nothing illegal about that." "That Crab Key scares me plenty." "Friends of mine went there after seashells." "Only trouble, they never came back again." "None of the local fishermen will go there." "Commander Strangways and me slipped in at night." "He take samples and we came back." "Don't do to hang about there." "What kind of samples?" "Bits of rock, sand, water." "I see." "Crab Key begins to interest me." "What else do we know about this Chinese gentleman?" "Nothing much, except his name." "Dr. No." "l'd like to see Professor Dent." "Have you an appointment, sir?" "Tell him it's James Bond." "We met yesterday." "Very well." "He's somewhere in the lab." "is Professor Dent there?" "Never mind." "Good morning, professor." "Mr. Bond." "Anything I can do for you?" "Yes, I came across this in Strangways' office." "Your receipt." "Yes, that's right." "Can you tell me anything about it?" "Poor old Strangways." "Bit of a bug of his, this amateur geology." "He brought rock samples in for testing, convinced they were valuable." "Were they?" "No, of course not." "Just low-grade iron pyrites." "Can I see them?" "No, I threw them away." "Do you know where he found them?" "No, he didn't say." "Crab Key, perhaps?" "Definitely not." "Why so certain?" "Not geologically possible." "Thank you very much. lt's kind of you to spare me your time." "You're very welcome, Mr. Bond." "Professor?" "Allow me." "Morning." "l've got to get to Crab Key." "You know the procedure." "There's no time for that." "I'll take responsibility." "l hope you know what you're doing." "Come on!" "l radioed." "They're expecting me." "Go ahead." "Sit down." "Why have you disobeyed my strictest rule and come in daylight?" "I had to." "Bond came to see me this morning." "I know." "I gave orders that he should be killed." "Why is he still alive?" "Our attempts failed." "Your attempts failed." "I do not like failure." "You are not going to fail me again, professor?" "No. I came to warn you." "Warn me?" "Tell you." "Bond discovered those rock samples of Strangways' came from Crab Key." "He's not a fool." "He's sure to come out here." "I hope not." "If he does, I shall hold you responsible." "I make myself clear?" "Yes, quite clear." "Go to the table." "You see what is in the cage?" "Pick it up." "Pick it up." "Tonight." "l'd like to send a cable." "Yes, of course." "The car you ordered, it's been delivered." "It's in number five parking lot." "Thank you." "Good night." "Good night, Mr. Bond." "Morning, Pleydell-Smith." "Morning, Bond." "Sorry to trouble you, but I need some information." "All you have on Dr. No and Crab Key." "Miss Taro, bring me the files on Dr. No." "Sit down." "What do you know about the island?" "Not much, except there's a bauxite mine there." "Dr. No runs it like a concentration camp." "I've heard funny rumors, but no one's ever complained officially." "Miss Taro, just leave them here." "I'm very sorry, but we can't find them anywhere." "What do you mean?" "Who had them last?" "Commander Strangways." "Both files." "All right, Miss Taro." "Damn nuisance, their disappearing like that." "On the contrary." "I'd have been surprised if they hadn't." "That came for you from London in the plane, in the diplomatic pouch." "Present from home." "Can I get out that way?" "That's a naughty little habit." "Listening at keyholes?" "I wasn't listening." "I was looking for those files." "Anything that can't be found, I get the blame." "Forget it. I'm sure it's not very important anyhow." "I'd hate to think you'll spend the afternoon looking for them." "No. I have the afternoon off." "There's a coincidence." "So have I." "Why not show me around the island?" "What should I say to an invitation from a strange gentleman?" "You should say yes." "I should say maybe." "Three o'clock at my hotel, maybe?" "Yes, maybe." "Good." "The luminous dial activates it." "Hold this." "Where did Commander Strangways place those samples?" "About where your feet is." "Good." "Hi there." "Lose something?" "Take a look at this Geiger reading." "Those samples Strangways brought back from Crab Key were radioactive." "Yet Dent told me they were worthless chunks of iron ore." "He's either a bad professor or a poor liar." "I intend to find out which." "How soon can you get us to Crab Key?" "Well, it's like this, captain." "Commander Strangways, he done take samples of all the islands." "Supposing we check the nearest ones first?" "No. I'm interested in Crab Key." "I took the commander there, and we got away without trouble." "It don't do for a man to tempt providence too often." "You see, there's a dragon." "What?" "Native superstition." "Started by Dr. No, probably." "All right." "We don't want to force you." "Leiter and I will go over after dark if you'll give us directions." "I get my directions from my nose my ears, from my instincts." "Anyway, I'll be here about 7." "Fine." "Mr. Bond, there's a telephone message for you." "Johnny, what have you done with it?" "lt's right here." "Hello?" "Oh, Mr. Bond. I was thinking." "Why don't you collect me at my apartment?" "It's lovely up here in the mountains." "Nice and cool." "All right." "You leave the Port Royal Road out of Kingston." "Then along the Wentworth Road until you get to the cement factory." "Then you turn left." "Follow the road up the hill, down the other side and two miles further on, on the left Magenta Drive, 239 1." "I'll be waiting for you." "How did it happen?" "I think they were on their way to a funeral." "Just a minute." "You did invite me, remember?" "Of course. I just didn't expect you here so soon." "Yes, come in." "I'll go put some clothes on." "Don't go to any trouble on my account." "Please." "Forgive me. I thought I was invited up here to admire the view." "I feel one of us should answer it." "Hello?" "Yes, I know." "He's here now." "I don't know what happened." "All right. I'll try and keep him here for a couple of hours." "All right-- l'll have to go now." "All right. I'll call you later." "You believe in living dangerously." "I can see that." "What do you mean?" "Sitting around with wet hair, you'll die of pneumonia." "lt is rather beautiful." "Thank you." "Do you always wear it up?" "Don't you like it that way?" "Very much." "With your sort of face, it's wonderful." "What's going on behind my back?" "Nothing." "Look, no hands." "I'm hungry." "Let's go out and eat." "I'll make dinner here." "No. I'm feeling Italian and musical." "The Blue Mountain Grill." "I'd rather stay here." "It's more fun alone." "Yes, but I don't want you getting dishpan hands." "I like cooking." "Forget it." "May I use your phone?" "Who are you ringing?" "Taxi." "James Bond here." "Can I have a car sent to.... 2 1 7 1 Magenta Drive?" "As soon as you can, please." "Thank you." "l thought you came by car." "Wouldn't start." "Engine trouble." "That explains" "Explains what?" "Why you need a taxi." "Why I need a taxi?" "Careful, my nail varnish!" "The lights." "No, I always leave them on." "What's going on?" "Forgive me." "Book her, superintendent." "And be careful of her nail varnish." "Drop it, professor!" "Behind you." "I thought you'd turn up sooner or later." "Sit down." "The girl talked." "But of course." "I was suspicious at the Queens Club anyhow when you were the only one who'd seen Strangways' new secretary." "Then at the lab you didn't mention that Strangways' samples were radioactive." "Very clever, Mr. Bond." "You're up against more than you know." "Shoot me, you'll end up like Strangways." "You killed him?" "He was killed, but never mind how." "Who are you working for?" "I'll tell you." "You won't live to use the information. I'm working-- lt's a Smith  Wesson and you've had your six." "Better late than never." "Everything ready?" "For the last two hours." "Don't worry." "Everything will be fine." "You say so." "Bottom of where my belly used to be tells me different." "For me, Crab Key's going to be a gentle relaxation." "From what?" "Dames?" "No, from being a clay pigeon." "This is as far as we go with the engine." "Make with paddle and wind from now on in." "Let me go with him." "No." "We settled that. lt's my beat." "It's my head in the noose if anything gets unstuck." "Canaveral can only wait 48 hours for that moon shot." "We'll be back in 1 2." "If not, it's your beat." "You better bring your marines with you." "Quarrel, if you see a dragon you get him first and breathe on him." "With all that rum in you, he'll die happy." "Better drop the sail in case their radar's on scan." "Hard about, captain." "Now!" "Cover it up." "We'd better get some sleep before it gets light." "I'll be down this end." "Who is that?" "It's all right, I'm not supposed to be here either." "Are you alone?" "What are you doing here?" "Looking for shells?" "No, I'm just looking." "Stay where you are." "l promise I won't steal your shells." "l promise you won't either." "Stay where you are!" "My intentions are strictly honorable." "What's your name?" "Ryder." "Ryder what?" "Honey Ryder." "What's so funny about it?" "Nothing. lt's a very pretty name." "What's your name?" "James." "Tell me, did you use your sail all the way up to the reef?" "Of course. I always do." "Then they'll know we're here." "They have radar." "My boat is too small to be noticed." "And I often come here to get shells." "At first they tried to catch me, but they couldn't." "Now I don't think they bother anymore." "They will this time." "Don't bother with those!" "Don't bother?" "Are they valuable?" "This one is worth $50 in Miami." "Fifty!" "You promise you won't tell anyone?" "I promise." "Come and take a look!" "lt's all right." "He's with me." "Captain, what do you think of that?" "What's the matter?" "That's a high-powered boat." "Take some cover." "Come on!" "They're here, all right." "Okay, folks." "Come out and you won't get hurt." "Stand up and show yourselves or we'll be forced to open fire!" "Come on out!" "We know you're there!" "We've been expecting you." "Just walk out with your hands up and you'll be okay." "This is your last chance." "They're bluffing, but keep your head down." "All right!" "You've been warned!" "This is it!" "Lie still." "It won't last long." "They don't know we're here." "Fire!" "You coming out?" "All right, then." "We'll be back!" "We'll be back with the dogs!" "Full speed ahead." "I told you there's something wrong here." "That was a machine gun, not a dragon." "There's a dragon here too." "She's right." "You've seen it?" "Yes, I have." "He had two great, glaring eyes short tail and pointed wings." "He was breathing fire." "You don't believe me, do you?" "Little gal, I does." "I tell you, Mr. Bond." "Let's get out of here." "Listen, both of you." "There are no such things as dragons." "What you saw was something that looked like one." "I'm trying to think what it was." "How do you know there aren't?" "What do you know about animals?" "Did you ever see a mongoose dance or a scorpion with sunstroke sting itself to death or a praying mantis eat her husband after making love?" "l hate to admit it, but I haven't." "Well, I have." "She's right." "They've gone." "Honey, you're getting out of here." "I'll get out when I'm ready, and that's never in daylight." "This time you are, and fast." "Where's your boat?" "Fetch my shoes." "Look what they've done!" "It's all your fault!" "I'm sorry. I'll get you a new boat when we get back to Kingston." "What are we going to do with her now?" "If you like, I know a good place where we can hide." "That'll do for a start." "Leave what you don't need." "Quick!" "All right, all right." "Must we come this way?" "lt throws the dogs off the scent." "Damn mosquitos!" "Rub water all over yourself." "It's the salt they're after." "Quick!" "They's coming!" "Across there!" "Cut some of those reeds!" "Give me the knife." "Over there." "They're coming closer." "Quiet!" "Something's biting my foot!" "If you disturb the mud, they'll know we're here." "Get down." "Look like they're onto something." "Down." "Get down." "Why?" "Because I had to." "The guy knew his business, trailing us after we'd let the others pass." "Let's get out of here." "Where's your hiding place?" "Up there." "Come on." "You smell nicer already." "Oh, thank you." "Mr. Bond!" "Quick!" "What now?" "Look!" "Those are dragon tracks." "Look!" "That's where he breathed!" "You ought to get some rest if you want to." "I stay out here and watch in case he smells us and comes looking for us." "Right. I'll take the second watch." "We'll be out of here by midnight." "I never met a detective before." "Are you going to arrest Dr. No?" "Someone is." "We can't have him trying to kill everyone who comes here." "He doesn't just try." "l'm pretty sure he killed my father." "What do you mean?" "You see, my father was a marine zoologist." "We came to the Caribbean for him to study seashells." "One day, he came to Crab Key, and I never saw him again." "They said he must have drowned." "But he was too good a diver for that to happen." "Didn't the police investigate?" "What about your family?" "They investigated for a long time." "Then they said, "Missing, presumed dead."" "I haven't any family." "There was only my father and me." "You're here alone?" "Where did you live before you came here?" "All over the world." "The Philippines, Bali, Hawaii." "About anywhere there were shells." "You went to school somewhere." "I didn't need to." "We had an encyclopedia." "I started at "A" when I was 8, and now I've reached "T."" "I bet I know a lot more things than you do." "Didn't anyone in Kingston help?" "Well, there was this man who owned the place where we were living." "He let me stay on for a while without paying." "Then one night, he came up to my room." "Well, you know." "I scratched his face, and then-- But he was stronger than I was." "What happened?" "I put a black widow spider underneath his mosquito net." "A female, and they're the worst." "It took him a whole week to die." "Did I do wrong?" "It wouldn't do to make a habit of it." "Do you have a woman of your own?" "Quick!" "Down here!" "Whatever's coming, it's coming this way." "This time, I want to see it." "And hurry!" "There's less than 1 2 hours to go." "Stay where you are!" "All of you!" "Stay right where you are!" "Okay, captain." "If that ain't a dragon, what is it?"
