The ship's lounge. There are a few tables and chairs, a piano and another projection of water on the backdrop. It is night. Upstage center are open double doors leading to the deck which we can see. The TWO AMERICAN SPINSTERS we glimpsed at the Captain's table are strolling through. ESME, CLARISSE and COLIN sit at one table, CAPTAIN at another. CLARISSE is distraught. CAPTAIN is, as usual, soused.

                                  CLARISSE

(SHE jumps up and dashes through the doors upstage center leading to the deck and disappears.)

(HE exits with ESME. A moment's pause. Then BARON appears from the deck upstage. He holds the alligator briefcase in his hands, and he is overjoyed.)

(Hearing something, HE quickly conceals the briefcase in thepiano bench.)

(Through the upstage doors MOLLY appears with ANNIE MAY. It's a different Molly now---or as different as Molly is capable of.)

(SHE floats into the room toward Baron. He immediately begins to play the piano.)

(Although HE rises from the bench, the music continues---after all, this is 1932 and things were different. THEY embrace. COLIN dashes on, races to CAPTAIN, who is entranced by the two lovers.)

(MOLLY and BARON have not noticed the interruption at for one second. THEY play the scene with little kisses on the neck, cheek, hands and fingertips.)

(SHE extracts a pistol from her evening purse and sticks it into his ribs.)

                                                     (SHE points the pistol at his temple.)

When you find the one you love,
What is there to do?
The moon, the stars, the sun you love
If the one you love
Loves you.

East of Samoa,
West of Bombay,
I found my lover
One wonderful day.
The tropic sun caressed her shoulder,
The trade winds danced about her hair;
She smiled,
Castles rose in Spain---
So wild
Beat my pounding brain,
Though I was there
I knew not where
I was.
East of Samoa,
I gave my heart---
We vowed forever
Never to part.
The future soon became the past,
This love of ours was not to last---
She drifted away.
Now my heart lies somewhere
East of Samoa,
West of Bombay.

(As BARON is reaching into the piano bench, HE stops instantly and attempts to fulfill Captain's request.)

East of Samoa,
West of Bombay---

(HE hands over the case, but as HE does so, the monocle falls from his eye. HE makes a furtive attempt to retrieve it.)

                                                                                        (HE turns and begins to exit upstage.)

The tropic sun caressed his shoulder,
The trade winds danced about his hair;
He smiled,
Castles rose in Spain---
So wild
Beat my pounding brain,
Though I was there
I knew not where
I was.
  (BARON pauses on the deck outside. He now turns, unable to resist a duet.)

East of Samoa,
I gave my heart---
We vowed forever
Never to part.
The future soon became the past,
This love of ours was not to last---
She drifted away.
Now my heart lies somewhere
East of Samoa,
West of Bombay.
  (While singing the final bars, MOLLY moves toward the deck. THEY end the song together at the railing. Then THEY kiss, a long, fateful, passionate kiss. As they do, MOLLY grabs the briefcase out of his hand and shoves him hard over the railing. The music swells. SHE clutches the case to her bosom, a look of triumph on her face.)
