Green Fire

** Green Fire **

** Emeralds burning Like true love **

** So rare So thrilling to hold **

** Green Fire Shining bright as a new love **

** Beware So precious a stone **

** Two hearts can be Two beautiful jewels **

** But worthless When wasted on fools **

** Who go searching blindly **

** For Green Fire found in faraway places **

** Like love And burning desire **

** There's magic In Green Fire **

** Green Fire **

Thank you, Father.

That's what I really call

saving a man's soul.

Are you American? No, English.

The name's Rian Mitchell.

Thank you.

I ran into a couple of horse lovers.

El Moro's men.

Even today our mountains have animals

that do not walk on four legs.

El Moro?

If you just get me patched up,

I've gotta catch a boat to the city.

He has a bullet wound.

Let's get him inside, Father.

Oh.

How do you feel?

I'm not quite sure yet.

I'm Catherine Knowland.

Well, thank you for putting me up.

Unh... Just a flesh wound.

You'll be fine after a few days rest.

You were very lucky.

That's what I was thinking.

Senor Mitchell, I'm glad to see

you're with us again. Hello, Father, you see.

All I needed was couple of hours sleep.

Did I say something funny?

You were brought here yesterday.

Yester...

You mean today is Saturday? Mm-hm.

What time is it? It's almost two. Why?

Oh, if I'm gonna catch that riverboat,

I'm gonna have to get a move on.

You're not thinking of leaving today.

Yeah, I have a partner

who worries about me in the city.

But you're in no condition to travel.

You will be wise to listen, Senor Mitchell.

In the absence of a local physician,

Catherine has become quite expert.

Oh, yeah? So I see.

I haven't lost a patient yet.

Now don't go spoiling my record.

Don't worry about me.

One week on that floating palace,

and I'll be as good as new.

Hmm, an iron man.

I'm surprised a bullet could pass through you at all.

Now, this is really important.

Is there any way of getting me to the boat?

Well, if you insist. I'll get the Jeep.

You'll find everything you need in the dressing room.

All right. Shaving kit and some clothes.

There we go.

How's the patient?

He thinks he's ready for the Olympics.

He looks like a man who's been places and done things.

Don, weren't you and the men

going to shore up the levee today?

Well, just give me a minute to shore up my own levee.

A man can break, too, you know.

Sorry, Cathy.

We might as well face it,

we're getting deeper in the hole all the time.

Well, now that we've hit bottom,

there's no place to go but up.

Oh, this year we're going to have a fine harvest.

Things'll be just like they used to be, you'll see.

Good try, Cathy,

but I still believe coffee's best in a cup.

Say, on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean --

I'll get right to work on the levee.

Oh, by the way, Father,

what happened to the shirt I was wearing?

I'm afraid there was not much left to burn.

But I thought you would like to keep this.

Yes, I would.

Thank you, Father.

You have good news for your partner.

Well, I'm alive, thanks to you.

That will please him, of course

but, I was thinking about Carrere.

Carrere? What's that?

The mine, Senor Mitchell.

You found the lost emerald mine of the Conquistadores.

Do you mean that?

That's only a bit of beryllium, Father.

A piece of beryllium doesn't mean to say

I found an emerald mine.

But you did.

What makes you so sure?

Because five years ago, I too, found Carrere.

You're wondering why I have kept it a secret?

The wealth of the smallest emerald

could do much for my people. But it could destroy them, too.

Turn brother against brother, pour blood upon blood.

Oh, the history of Carrere is not a pleasant one.

That is why I was hoping you would not return.

Look, Father, I've been all over the world

searching for the jackpot that wasn't there.

Lasseter's Reef, Opal Valley, Golden Horn,

you name them, I've dug for them.

You know I'm coming back.

Pretty good fit, huh?

So I see.

Will you thank your husband for me?

Donald's my brother, Mr. Mitchell,

but, uh, I'll thank him anyway.

Is all this yours?

Must be quite a project, growing coffee.

My grandfather used to say there's nothing to it.

You just find a wilderness, clear the land, plant the seed.

Watch over it while it grows.

Then, after five years, if it hasn't been killed

by root borer, caterpillar, frost, moss, drought or flood,

you've got a coffee bean.

I never knew.

From now on, every breakfast will be an adventure.

Oh, I'm sorry!

Oh!

Iron Man.

Come aboard, Senor Mitchell,

we are about to sail.

Well, I'll see you next trip, huh?

You're coming back?

Sure. I've gotta return the wardrobe.

That will make Donald very happy.

Senor Mitchell, you will have to come aboard at once.

Oh. Yeah.

Well, I've brought you this far...

Every minute I get deeper

and deeper in your debt.

Medical care, transport, outfit, and now, money.

You've got quite an investment in me.

So I have.

I hope you're the kind of girl

who keeps an eye on her investment.

You'd better meet me when I come back.

Senor Mitchell,

if you are not on board at once, you are not on board.

Will you?

You'd better go.

See you the next trip up the river.

Mister, buy ticket,

No. Buy lottery ticket.

Maybe you win many pesos.

Please, mister. Buy ticket. Maybe you win.

You know, what I like about you, Dolores,

is the way you run an office.

Rian!

Baby, heh!

Hey, you've been brushing up on your shorthand.

You were gone so long!

You said only three weeks. Mm. Well, now I'm back.

Were you true to me? Oh, yes!

I do nothing. Just wait for you.

Oh, that's a good little girl.

Now, where's, uh, where's Vic?

He's gone.

What do you mean, he's gone?

Gone. He left a message.

Don't worry, baby.

We need nobody here, except you and me.

Uh, Dolores, just for once will you be a secretary

and give me the message?

He said goodbye, he likes you, you should drop dead.

Well, where is he? Where did he go?

To the steamship office to buy at ticket for Canada.

Canada? It is good riddance.

Now we could be together all the time.

Yes, yes, of course. Now, Dolores, you just catch up

on your sleep like a good little secretary,

and I'll be back in no time at all.

Rian! Yeah?

You will not go away again?

No, no, no. This time it's for always.

Seventeen hundred, eighteen hundred

nineteen hundred, two thousand.

The boat leaves in an hour, Senor Leonard.

You are on 'B' deck, cabin six.

Thank you.

Give him his money back, he's not going anywhere.

Lock up the safe. Now, now, now, simmer down, Vic,

I know you're mad, but I didn't--

Mad? Me?

Let me ask you, would be mad if your partner took

the last 500 bucks out of the kitty
