Harry Morgan went down below deck. How in the hell did Eddie sneak on board? "You're slipping" he said to himself. "But it's too late now." It was just that he added a new variable into the equation that he wasn't expecting. If something goes wrong… It had been just his butt. Now, Eddie's involved.
He laughed to himself as he thought about the last few weeks.
Here I was running a bar in Casablanca, not a care in the world and a few weeks later I'm in Martinique running fishing tours. One thing hasn't changed. I'm still a magnet for trouble. Six weeks ago I was Rick Blaine, probably the only guy in Casablanca without a care in the world. Then she walked in. You know, the French are right when they call it enchanted-enchanté. I certainly was enchanted all right. Right up until the time when she said "Rick, you'll have to do the thinking for both of us-for all of us." With this odd felling in the pit of my stomach, all I could think of was how to get this stupid broad back to Lazlo where she belonged. Then all hell broke loose. Ilsa and Lazlo are on the plane. I kill Strasser. Louis and I take off out of Casablanca. I wonder how Louis is doing or if he ever did get to Brazzaville. I just couldn't pass up Morgan's passport and the ticket on that freighter out of Africa even though it was kind of pricey. The Nazis don't take too kindly to killing off their Majors, besides, I'd always wanted to visit the Caribbean and Martinique seemed as good a place as any. And with what was left of Ferrari's money, I had just enough to buy the boat. Boy, it had been awhile since I'd worked a fishing boat but I guess it's like riding a bike. At least Eddie knew most of the good fishing spots.
And now, here I am again, after I swore-no more trouble. I knew something was coming when that broad showed up-a pro if I ever saw one. But she's high class, Ill give that. What's her name anyway? I don't think she ever told me. I love the look in her eye every time I call her Slim. What was it that Eddie said? "High class hookers are people too." Once in a while Eddie comes up with something good. I guess that's why I keep him around. I better get up there and see if he's all right. I sure hope I don't have to use this rifle. It's getting chilly. Better grab Eddie a jacket.
