Revenge--see what I mean? He fights
with the heavy on the cliff, after showing him the little sister's
picture, and pushes him over to death on the rocks below--get it?
And the lead doesn't have to kill him. How about that?" Henshaw
regarded his companion with pleasant anticipation.
The Governor again debated before he spoke. He still doubted. "Say,
whose show is this, the lead's or the sailor's that had the wronged
sister? You'd have to show the sailor and his sister, and show her
being wronged by the heavy--that'd take a big cabaret set, at least-
-and you'd have to let the sailor begin his stuff on the yacht, and
then by the time he'd kept it up a bit after the wreck had pulled
off the fight, where would your lead be? Can you see Parmalee
playing second to this sailor? Why, the sailor'd run away with the
piece. And that cabaret set would cost money when we don't need it--
just keep those things in mind a little."
"Well," Henshaw submitted gracefully, "anyway, I think my suggestion
of Island Love is better than Island Passion--kind of sounds more
attractive, don't you think?"
The Governor lighted a cigarette.
