Whoa! They're gaining on 'em! This is the first shot that has him and them in the same frame. Better get some wind in your sails b'hoy, those dames look like they mean business and you're the business!
[1:05] Oh no, the edge of the island, trapped! There's only one thing to do now. You're gonna have to take the plunge if you don't wanna take the plunge. Hey, you should consider yourself plenty lucky mister. That must be some handshake this guy has! It doesn't seem as if they'll be going away just because he's got wet feet.
[2:10] A winner! Some people and scripts will stop at nothing to get what they want. You just found yourself a lady. Any woman willing to cross the water for you without a boat or a second thought is definitely a keeper. Well! That must be the most lucrative 50¢ any guy has spent on advertising himself in Manhattan. What a letter to home this is going to make! France ain't got nothin' on New York women. Cie et la vie.....Au revior.....later buddy.
