Jarvis. Chicken, Rusty? What put that in your head?

Rusty. I's powerful hungry, Marse Warren.

Jarvis. What—again?

Rusty. No, sir—it's the same old hunger.

Jarvis. Well, Rusty, you are not going to get anything to eat until we finish the job.

Rusty. Good Lord, have I got to wait till you're dead before I eat? (They start with bags to cross to stairway. Enter Princess on stairs.)

Duke. Well, all Segura will be buzzing with your ghost hunt tonight. The whole town will sit up to hear of the outcome.

Jarvis. And where are you going to get the returns, Duke?

Duke. Unfortunately, I must leave at once. I have an urgent summons to Madrid.

Jarvis. Well, that's too bad. I'm sorry you're leaving us. Won't you even be around at the finish, your Excellency?
