For being a friend Travel down the road And back again Your heart

Leave it. The owner of the Mecca Hotel is suing us.

Well, we can't watch Sophia 24 hours a day.

And that wet T -shirt contest was open to the public.

No, no, it's not that.

He claims that part of our parking lot is on his property.

Oh, great. Now we're going to have to get a lawyer.

Well, this could cost us a fortune whether we win or lose.

Maybe not. Maybe we don't need a lawyer. I'll just have a meeting with this Mr.

Gentry. Everything will be all right. Do you really think you can get him to

drop his lawsuit?

Honey, if my dress is cut low enough, I can get him to drop more than that.

All right, ladies.

Chalk up another volleyball victory for the Golden Palace.

Oh, who did we beat today?

We beat the Carlisle. Brad was on it. No, no.

Well, yeah.

Brad, you didn't hurt that big, broad shoulder of yours again, now, did you?

Blanche, it's fine.

Really?

I'm not going to bite you.

Oh, well, you did last time.

You really do scare him, you know. Oh, for heaven's sake, I'm just teasing him.

I don't mean anything by it.

I don't do anything to really scare him.

What about the time you showed him the attachments to your back massager?

What's the matter, Chewy? You're awfully quiet.

Didn't you have a good game?

Once again, I didn't get to play.

Once again, I got to sit on the hot sand and burn my butt while Roland and Brad

played the whole game.

And I know why.

It's because I kind of stink at volleyball, huh?

Now, this is a racial issue, man.

Of course it's because you stink at volleyball.

Look, we only have two games left to win the championship. I'm not going to

change the lineup now.

As long as I'm the captain, Brad is playing. I want to win that trophy.

Well, maybe I can help.

I did play volleyball, you know, back on the girls' high school team in St.

Olaf. I was known as Jump Up and Down Rose.

That was your nickname?

No, that's what they'd call out to me.

Boys can be so cruel.

Hey, Roland, what time do you want me to volleyball practice?

You sting.

Yeah, what time should we be there, Roland?

We? Didn't Roland tell you? I'm on the team now.

Wait a minute.

I come out all season waiting for a chance to play and Rose comes along and

tells one say no laugh story about jumping up and down.

She's in?

No, it wasn't like that, Chewy. Now, Rose and I went out on the beach and she

showed me what she could do. And she's good?

Well, she's no Chewy Castillos.

So, yeah, she's good.

Well, you will not believe what happened to me today.

I was at a business meeting down at the bank trying to get our line of credit

increased. So I'm sitting there across the room from this Mr. Reynolds, a vice

president, mind you, and oh, he said the most upsetting thing to me. Don't come

back until you're wearing underwear.

Sophia, I always go to meetings with men dressed like this.

To me, it's just a great business tool. You know, gives me a leg up.

Just one?

Well, I know it's not fair. I mean, is it possible for any man to resist me

I look this way?

Well, is it?

It's real hard.

I was, and I started coming on to Mr. Rent. Well, no, I don't mean exactly

coming on to him. You know, I just said one innocent little thing, and I guess

he must have thought I was coming on to him. What did you say?

Well, I said I'd like to put him in a hot tub and drink him like soup.

Well,

don't you get mad at me. He threw me out of the office.

I guess he's just a guy who doesn't respond to a totally sexual human being.

Blanche, you came on to a man in a business situation.

But that's practically sexual harassment.

Yeah, but I'm not going to file any charges.

Blanche, you sexually harassed him. And you made the hotel look bad.

I did?

Look, things have changed since we bought this hotel.

You're not a social butterfly anymore. You're a businesswoman. And you behave

differently in business deals.

But look what you do to Brad, the pool guy.

I'm just teasing him.

Well, maybe you do have a point.

I think of it as teasing, but how does it make him feel?

Honestly, he feels that at some point he's going to have to sleep with you in

order to keep this job.

Really? He said that?

Oh,

I'm doing it right now, aren't I?

Oh, well, hey, what am I going to do? I have that meeting tomorrow with Mr.

Gentry from the Mecca.

My plan was to seduce him out of those parking spots, but that's wrong, right?

Right. Oh, boy, I've done this all my life.

I'm really ashamed of myself.

Well, I guess I'll just have to change my ways.

And I will, too.

From now on, Blanche Devereaux is a new person. I will never again throw myself

at any man I'm doing business with.

Well, there goes our free cable.

All right,

side out.

That's okay, we'll get it back. Here we go.

Come on, you guys, get it back.

All right, come on.

514.

6 -14.

I thought you had it. I thought you had it. Okay, now I've had it.

Look, one of you has to call for the ball so the other one knows who has it.

Let's go.

7 -14.

You got it!

You're out. We're in.

All right.

8 -14.

Here we go, Chad.

Here we go.

Go, go, go, go.

Go, go.

That's it.

Ah, yes.

All right.

Let's go, Brad. Here we go. This is it.

I got it.

Sit.

waste. I'm useless.

There's no reason for me even to be here.

Well, not at all, Julie. You were terrific.

I mean, you took a boring one -sided game and turned it into a real nail

I'm

ready

for Mr. Gentry. Who are you supposed to be? Dr. Quinn, medicine slut?

From now on, I'm not going to let my sexuality interfere in my business

relationship with a man.

I just couldn't respect myself. If I did, I have changed.

From now on, I'm Blanche Devereaux, businesswoman.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Miss Blanche Devereaux.

I'm Blanche Devereaux.

I'm Loris Gentry, and may I say what a pleasure it is to meet such a beautiful

woman.

I'll be right back, Mr. Gentry. I just want to run, change into something

not so hot.

Now, you seem so determined to change your ways.

You're afraid to use your brain instead of your body.

Now, don't be ridiculous.

Why should I use my brain when I can have these proud beauties stand up for

I got news for you. They're falling down on the job a little.

See, I always knew Blanche acts the way she does because she suffers from

sturgeon yanking.

Now, do we have to listen to this?

I have to. I can't run as fast as I used to.

When I was young, Dr. Sigmund Sturgeon, St. Olaf's most controversial

psychologist, was called in when all the girls in town became... How can I put

this?

Oh, what the heck. We're all adults. Became like you, Blanche.

His theory was if you pulled out a girl's front teeth, it made her less

attractive. And that solved a promiscuous problem.

Want my opinion?

Keep your body out of it and just use your mind.

Is that really possible?

You want to be a professional?

Okay.

All right. I'll try then. It's a girl blend.

But I have to tell you, it feels very unnatural.

If it gets too tough, there is help.

As we say in St. Olaf, men don't chase toothless women.

Well, not until last call.

So sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Gentry. I thought we'd just have our

meeting right here. Are you sure?

You know, now that we met, I'd much rather discuss business tonight.

Maybe over dinner.

No. We're here to discuss business, and I prefer to keep it businesslike.

Sure.

Dress in that wild Dr.

Quinn outfit, huh?

I got to tell you something.

You are very sexy.

Why a man like you isn't running around in a loincloth, I'll never know.

But look, it's very important to me that we keep things between us on a business

level. Fine, fine.

If that's what you wanted.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

Tea? Yes.

One hop or two?

what seems to be the problem with the parking lot?

Well, as you know, land down here is not a premium.

And our hotels are so close, I mean, we're so close, we're practically on top

each other.

Sounds good to me.

Now, we're here to talk about business, so here are some of my ideas about the

parking places.

You, uh, you have those lunches for businessmen?

And you have fabulous eyes.

Which are undressing you at this very minute. No!

No, we've got to stop this.

Can't you just relate to me as a human being and not some fabulously luscious

boy toy?

But you are blush.

You are.

Maybe it's time to leave the business to those who can do it best.

And you should concern yourself with what you do best.

No, no, damn it.

Look, when I bought this hotel, I did it as a challenge to myself. Well, this

new way of doing business is just another challenge.

Of course, with a person like you, it may be the greatest challenge, but I can

do it because I have to.

Now, will you please pay close attention, because here's what we're

to solve the parking spaces problem.

You and I have very different clientele. Oh, yes, we do. So we're going to

interface our computers and study the traffic flow, determine who gets the

spaces at peak occupancy, and then just share them equally without interfering

with any of our guests.

Would you agree?

Well, I underestimated you, Miss Devereaux. That's a very impressive

So it's settled.

And maybe, once in a while, we could have lunch together.

Just to see how we're doing.

With business. Oh, of course.

Well, I'd like that.

Good.

Well, so...

nice doing business with you, Mr. Gentry? Well, it's very nice doing

with you, Miss Devereaux. You know, you really do have a scintillating mind.

You are a fascinatingly intelligent woman.

Thank you.

Oh, by the way, I do own a loincloth.

Why aren't you dressed to play?

Well, see, I kind of decided cheering is what I do best, so I'll just be

cheerleader. All right.

Your pom -poms, madame. Oh, thank you.

It's wonderful knowing that at any age, your life can have purpose.

Go team, go team, go team, go!

not she's not she's really really nice easy easy rose

how you feel not too bad how about yourself i mean you

think you're ready to play hey don't do this man chewy look don't okay

you're in okay

Got it.

Excuse me?

That's out.

All right.

Way to play, Chewy. One more point, we're going to win this thing. 14 -14.

Time out.

What are you doing?

I want to talk to you, man.

Why are you hugging the ball like that?

Come on, man. One more point, we're going to win this game.

I don't care.

Look, I didn't want to tell you this, but when I was a kid, I was the guy who

never got chosen for teams.

You know why?

We're back to you stinking again, aren't we?

Yeah, we're back to me stinking.

I mean, the other kids used to call me Señor Stinky.

And they said I lived at Casa del Stinky and my bike was Stinky's bike.

See what I'm getting at?

Yeah, kids can really beat a good joke to death.

I was humiliated, man.

And I never wanted to go through that pain again.

And I thought as an adult, well, my friends would never put me through that

pain. But you're doing it to me, so just don't do it to me, okay?

All right, champ, let's go.

All right. All right, come on.

Oh, they're keeping Stinky in the game.

You are unbelievable, man. You really are Senor Stinky.

You're the worst, Chewie.

Oh, hey, Chewie.

Hey, wait up, my man.

gonna talk to me again are you all right i understand i just came over here to

apologize look i thought about this all last night and i was trying to

rationalize by telling myself that i always play to win but i lost you don't

have to remind me i'm not talking about the game i'm gonna get over the game

someday evidently i'm losing you i just

wanted to say i'm sorry i will never humiliate you like that again

Does this mean I get to play next year? No.

Good, man, because that would really be humiliating.

You see, setting up those computers wasn't all that hard.

You were right again, Blanche.

You know, your hands are as smooth and soft as rich Corinthian.

Well, let's just say they're soft.

Listen, now that our business is concluded, perhaps we can open a new

our relationship.

Well, I suppose that could work as long as we can keep our professional

relationship separate. From our personal relationship?

Yes,

if we can do that, why not open a new chapter?

What do you say we start tonight?

I say great.

Your hotel or mine?

Mine, they know me at yours.

try the next one without the blindfold, okay?

No.
