And in a romantic canoe ride for two in "Zanzibar," he lets Dorothy do the paddling. Crosby never apologizes for his dastardly doings, and the plot rarely smites him with a climactic comeuppance. He is the singing scorpion; it's just his nature, though he'll deny it if you accuse him. "You know, way down underneath I'm honest...
