Good morning, boss. Good morning, Tattoo.

Let's go.

Smile.

That gentleman is Mr. Herman Dodge, who traveled all the way from Dobbs Ferry.

And his friend and partner in the glove manufacturing business, Mr. Stan Burns.

Manufacturer. Oh, they're here to make a big deal and make lots of money.

Not exactly. Mr. Dodger's present needs are far more basic.

These recent years have been ones of sexual revolution.

Men and women have become liberated.

You mean... Precisely. Except for some members of Mr. Dodger's generation who

feel, rightly or wrongly, that they've missed the boat.

But now that his family has grown and he has separated from his wife, Mr.

Dodge's fantasy is to enjoy the youth he missed. He wishes to become a young

swinger. Him? A swinger?

Oh, boss.

Is it ever too late on Fantasy Island, my friend?

Oh, she look okay to me, boss.

Yes, she's very attractive.

Her name is Miss Sharon Sam.

She comes from a very small town called Boulder Valley, Iowa, where she spent

her entire life.

What's her fantasy?

Miss Sanders wishes the power of precognition. She wants to be able to

the future, to know what's going to happen in her life.

To see in the future?

Oh, boss, that would be great.

That depends on what the future holds in store for her.

Perhaps Miss Sanders would be much happier if she didn't know.

My dear guests, I am Mr. Roth, your host.

Welcome, Fantasy Island.

You can't get over it, Ern. You look 15 years younger.

This is the Fantasy Island Marina, where all the swingers live.

Gentlemen, please.

Oh, by all means. Not only that, but feel free to play host here.

Oh, yes.

This is your boat.

And this is your party, which is already in progress.

Everything we always talked about under 741, right?

Why don't you gentlemen dance?

Well, I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Rourke.

All I know is jitterbugging, and that went out about 30 years ago.

But I'm willing to give it a try. Me too.

Would you like to dance?

Believe in your fantasy, Mr. Dodger. Believe.

I'm Teddy.

Herm. I... My... My friends call me... Herm.

Forgive us for keeping you waiting, Miss Sanders.

Why don't you sit down?

Thank you.

I can't believe I'm actually here and that you're able to grant my wish to see

the future.

Do you think I'm being silly?

Oh, no, no, not at all.

I am sure that at one time or another most people would like to have the power

to see what life has waiting for them.

But tell me, why is it so important to you?

Well, Mr. Rourke, I was born and raised in Boulder Valley.

I guess I just want to know if I'm going to live and die there.

And if you find out you are?

Then I'd change things.

Oh, that's not possible, Miss Anders.

Not possible?

No, no. Please understand.

There are two schools of thought.

One is that free will exists.

and we have power to change our future.

In other words, our destiny is in our own hands.

Now, the author says predestination exists.

It is written in our stars and is unchangeable.

By asking for your fantasy, you assume that the second school is the correct

one. Therefore, for you, it will be.

The future you'll see is a fact.

It is already fixed in time.

Immutable.

Whatever it holds for you, it cannot be changed.

Are you prepared to accept that, Miss Sanders?

Think about it carefully.

Be very, very certain.

I'm prepared, Mr. Rourke.

It's beautiful.

It's really beautiful.

And very old.

Dating back into the mists of time and encrusted with the legends of its power.

One of those legends is that anybody who wears the ring

will be given the ability to see into the future.

Put it on, Santus.

Do you see anything?

Yes.

I was sitting with a man having a drink.

I don't know him.

It's exciting.

But it scared me, too.

I'm sorry.

But I wanted to be sure you understood.

I think I do.

Thank you, Mr. Wood.

Bye -bye. Goodbye.

Boss, is she going to be all right?

We'll see, Ethan.

I never met anyone before a cat in his own boat.

Will you tell us again about the storms you rode out and that killer wave in

Bora Bora when all you had was a tiny surfboard, Rocky?

Rocky?

Hey,

Duke, isn't that your Peggy?

Yeah, yeah, we just had a little argument, that's all.

I took this boat, and I took it through waves. You'd never saw anything like it.

Don't you believe that guy in the bowl he's been slinging around?

All I know is Mr.

Success has got her, and you, you're dancing with yourself.

You know what I mean?

Okay.

Hey, buddy.

I think you're a phony.

Are you talking to me?

Don't pay him any attention, Rocky. He's just something I used to date.

Why don't you boogie on out of here, Duke?

Hey, look, we got a little thing we do around here.

We're all into water sports, you know.

Some of us are pretty good at it.

And some of us just talk big.

I guess if you're not all talker, you'd be going for my crown, right?

His crown?

King of the marina.

And if you're as hot as you think you are, big shot, the competition starts

tomorrow.

See you there.

You know, Rocky, maybe you should just go out there and teach him a lesson.

Besides, we've never had a winner before.

Who's we?

Well, you see, the marina's cut in half, sort of like the north against the

south. We live on the south side. Duke's from the north.

It'll be so easy for you out on that little ski with that little motor.

Oh, it means so much to us. Little ski motor?

Yeah, just for the qualifying run.

To show Duke up. And you won't have to do anything else if you don't think it's

fair.

Well, that sounds easy enough.

Oh, I just love you, Rocky.

Yeah.

Mr. Roth really knows how to live in the dial.

A gambling casino is a good place to see into the future.

Thank you.

I'm telling you, I broke the bank.

I'd like a drink.

I'm okay.

I'm telling you, I'm okay.

I can drive.

Come on, give me the keys.

Get in there, I'm driving.

Stupid idiot.

Did you see that guy? He'd have killed me if you hadn't. Are you all right?

Yeah, I think so.

How'd you know?

Know what?

How'd you know that I was walking right... I didn't.

You didn't? Well, then why'd you just put on... I guess I... Premonition.

Premonition, huh? I guess.

Something wrong?

Huh? No, no.

Listen, I think I can really use a drink.

Have one with me?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just that this is all very new to me.

Listen, have you ever gambled before?

What do you call my being here with you?

You know what I mean. You know, like roulette, blackjack.

Well, I'm afraid that gambling in Boulder Valley is restricted to bingo

the Sunday Church Social.

While I'm here, maybe I should try a little roulette.

Listen, I, uh... I think we'll need a bigger state than this. You sit tight.

I'll go get a check, Cass, okay? Okay.

It's my tomb.

My gravestone.

Hey, Stan.

How about these cufflinks?

Rocky, help me hang out with an old guy like Stan.

Do you want to play a game?

Okay.

How old do you think I am?

Oh, not sure.

I guess I'd say...

At least 31.

That's exactly right.

At least 31.

I'm sorry, Maxine.

Maxine?

Herman. What are you doing here?

I'm going to ask you the same thing.

I hardly recognize you in that ridiculous outfit.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Maxine, are you trying to ruin my fantasy?

Herm, I spent too many years as your wife worrying about your fantasies to

about them now.

Besides, I'm having too much fun.

A girl can do so many things today.

Maxine, act your age.

Well, I'm sorry, Herman, but women do have their fantasies too, you know.

but not you, Maxine.

You're so...

At least that's what you thought when we were married.

Still doing your exercises?

How's your back?

It doesn't prevent me from dancing, if that's what you mean.

I'm glad, Herm.

I guess I'd better go now.

Bye.

Rocky. That lady you were talking to, I don't think I like her.

Oh, she's okay.

Just that there are some things she doesn't quite understand about some

Yeah, well, who is she anyway?

She's no one. She's my aunt.

Yeah, my aunt. She's my aunt.

Oh, your aunt.

Good.

Because I don't share my man with anybody.

Your man?

You mean I'm...

It's what makes my man happy.

Peggy, I'm happy.

I'm really very happy.

I was kind of afraid I'd miss something in life.

What do you mean?

Oh, no, it's okay. Everything's just fine.

Just fine now.

Come here to your man.

Place your bets, please.

Place your bets.

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.

Aren't you going to play?

Ah, this was in my nightclub.

I'll play some black.

Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to stay here and play the game really fast.

Oh.

Good luck.

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen. Place your bets.

I wonder if it works at roulette.

Then it should come up 17.

No more bets.

17. Black.

I'll put 500 on seven red.

Seven red. Yes, miss. The odds are 35 -10.

Place your bets, please.

No more bets, please.

Number seven, red.

I won. I won.

Oh, that's great.

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen. Everyone, place your bets, please.

All of these?

Yes, miss.

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen. Place your bets.

It's number 14, right? I won again.

I can't believe it.

Where's Martin? I want him to see this.

No. You mean all this? Yes.

From the ones I gave you? Yes.

Sixteen.

It's incredible.

It's like a dream.

May I have your attention, please?

Please, ladies and gentlemen.

The management regrets to announce that it must suspend gambling for the rest of

the evening.

Why? Well, apparently you have broken the bank.

Mademoiselle, will you please come with me?

I'm afraid you've caught

us in a very bad situation.

The casino has had several large winners the past few days. Or nothing as large

as yours.

But it has caused a drain on our cash reserves.

Wait a minute.

You mean you're not paying off?

No, no, no, no. Nothing like that with you.

What we propose to do is to give Madame the bill a post -data check until we

transfer funds from ours with the bank account.

It'll take one or two days at the most.

Well, that's okay if it's only a couple of days.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll have the owner draft a check immediately.

Thank you.

I can't believe this. I'm so excited. What a fantasy.

Let's celebrate, huh? Yeah. I got a cold bottle of vintage champagne in my room.

Do not operate in shallow water.

Look, just follow Duke. That's all they expect you to do. That's all.

Okay, okay.

Hey, life jacket?

Crash helmet.

Crash helmet?

Oh, boy.

Let's forget it, Stan. I can't pull this thing off. Shh, they'll hear you.

They'll hear me screaming in pain when I take this thing out and crash it.

Look, you want them to think you're an old fool?

Come on now, you can still have your cake and you can eat it too. How?

Just listen to me.

Suck it in a little, will you?

Here we go, a little more.

Halfway out.

Take the fuel line loose.

Yeah, then you'll stall and they'll have to tow you in.

It'll be a forfeit.

Force it. Yeah. They'll tell me.

I'll be safe, and I'll still be a hero.

I'll buy that.

Okay?

Let me, you, you what?

thing that ever happened.

What are you talking about? It's a man with a robe.

Please, Martin, I'm sorry. Just leave me alone.

Sharon. Sharon, listen.

Is this a premonition like before?

I'm going to die.

do it, Herman. I know you can do it. I can't, Stan. There is nothing left.

I can't possibly jump over any speedboats. No way.

Well, you were automatically entered, Rocky, when you dumped the old king in a

marina. Isn't that wonderful?

Excuse us.

Excuse us.

They think you're going to win this one and become the big cheese around here.

Forget it. I just haven't got the strength.

What's the matter with you, Herman? You really look terrible.

I'll tell you the truth, Stan.

These fantasies really take it out of a guy. I am totally pooped. Well, you've

got to get hold of yourself, right? I mean, you'll be an inspiration to

of middle -aged men.

So hang in there.

For them and not for yourself.

Herman!

Herman!

Thank you, Aunt. Hi, Charlie.

Excuse us, dear.

How are you doing, champ?

I just heard the news and I came over to congratulate you.

But, uh, really...

That girl.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, by the way, where's your sophomore this morning?

Oh, Carol.

Why do these things always jump out whenever I'm with you?

I mean, we were married. We spent a lot of years together.

Why can't we just be friends?

Because you left me, and despite that, I made a life for myself, and you cannot

stand it.

I think your happiness is just about to jiggle on over here.

By the way, are you dating or adopting?

Satchel Paige pitched when he was 60.

Bluebeard raped women when he was 70.

I'm only 31, you know.

At least.

31.

Whoa!

Look,

I've been thinking about this. You don't have to do this, Herb. You can tell him

you're sick or something.

My mind's made up.

Maxine says I should act my age. She says I look ridiculous.

She asked me if I was dating or adopting.

I'll show her.

Look at her.

Listen, you could finish out your fantasy in bed. Who'd care?

I care.

And then I was backed up against this coffin, and there was this man coming at

me with a piece of rope in his hand.

Did you recognize him?

No, I've never seen him before.

He's an older man.

He's big, and he's very strong.

I tried to explain to her, Mr. Rourke, that what she saw wasn't real. Oh, I beg

to differ with you, Mr. Rourke. What Miss Sanders saw was her future.

Miss Sanders, have you come to me for some sort of reassurance?

Well, yes.

Oh, I wish I could give you some.

Perhaps I can.

Not much, but a little.

You have no way of knowing when that glimpse you have of your future will

place.

Tomorrow, next week, next month, or years from now.

So what are you saying, Mr. Rourke, that I should enjoy life while I can? Well,

either that or live every moment in dread and fear, which is a kind of death

itself.

It's the man who's trying to kill me. Mr. Rourke, do something, please.

Hey, you!

Stop!

Hold it!

What's going on here?

Sharon, is it him?

Yes.

Why are you trying to kill me?

Look, young lady, I don't know what you're talking about.

You're lying. He's lying, Mr. Rourke. Can't you do something?

Well, what should I do? Have you ever met this gentleman?

Well, no, but... Do you know of any reason why he'd want to kill you?

No, but he does.

Arrest him. Put him in jail.

Oh, this lady is crazy.

Now, wait. Hold it. Hold it.

Miss Sanders, I can't put a man in jail because of a premonition.

I'm sorry, sir.

Ridiculous.

But he's going to kill me, Mr. Rourke, and it won't be next week or next month.

It's going to happen before I leave this island.

Oh, Mr. Rourke, you've got to release me from my fantasy.

Oh, that isn't possible.

Once a fantasy has been granted, I haven't the power to rescind it.

Once a person starts living his or her fantasy, it takes on a life of its own.

It's irreversible.

Then I'm going to be killed, Mr. Rourke!

You asked to see your future.

You have.

What you have seen will happen. There is nothing you can do to prevent it.

I'm sorry.

May I join you?

Well, sure.

Sure.

Here.

Sit with me. Sit with me. I thought you'd go through with it.

Maxine, that was the dumbest thing I ever did in my life.

No one's got a corner on dumbness.

Yeah, but I'm supposed to be old enough to know better.

One thing I do know.

I don't need this.

Gee,

I never thought I'd enjoy being bald again.

I guess we both learned something.

I didn't know I could hurt you.

I thought you'd become indifferent.

I got feelings too, Max.

That did occur to you, didn't it?

I guess I'd better go before we start infelting each other again.

Herm, not that it matters now, but you weren't the only one who was hurt.

Yeah, wait, wait, wait.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

You're coming with me.

Hello? Sharon.

Sharon, listen.

You've got to let me help.

How? Sharon, listen. I've been thinking of... Martin, it's no use. It's

predestination. The graveyard, the church, the coffin, and that man with

rope. They all add up to one thing.

I just wish I knew where that church was so I could stay away from it. Maybe

none of this would happen.

Look, I'm driving to the plane, Doc, and I'm leaving this place right now.

Sharon, no.

Sharon, stay where you are.

My name is Emmett Slate, Miss Sanders.

I own the gambling casino.

I'm sorry.

But a million dollars is a loss I can't afford.

My business, my reputation, everything I've got is gone.

The minute you present that post -dated check for payment.

I'll give it back.

Just please don't kill me.

You all right? Yeah, I think so.

How did you know I was here?

I stopped by your bungalow.

And I found this.

It told me all I needed to know.

Let's get out of here.

it against you. You're still king of the marina.

Herman!

Herman, I've looked everywhere for you.

What happened to your hair?

Well, I sent it out to be clean.

No, that's not very funny.

I... Peggy, you're a very sweet girl.

And I'm... Well, I'm at least 31.

I'm a lot of at least 31.

What I'm saying is... That's your fella. There.

Very special of her.

You know, Mac, young girls belong to young men.

Your serves are both right.

to Boulder Valley.

Yes, and I think it's going to look pretty good to me after this weekend.

Well, when you have a million dollars in your pocket, anywhere would look good.

We may even settle down there. Who knows?

Yes, who knows?

It's better to leave the future to itself.

Much better.

We have to admit, Mr. Rourke, the future can be changed.

Well, then, how do you explain what happened?

What you saw?

was an attempt on your life. An attempt.

You presumed the success of that attempt.

I hope the two of you will take your fate in your own hands.

Goodbye and good luck.

Goodbye. Bye -bye.

Bye, Tattered. Goodbye.

Mr. Roark, thanks for everything.

Herm and I are really going to make it this time.

Of that I am certain, Mrs. Dodge.

Oh, incidentally, where is your friend Stan?

Oh, well, to tell you the truth, Mr. Roark, he's having such a good time he's

decided to stay.

Oh, almost as good a time as we had last night, right, poopsie?

That's good.

Thank you.

Well, Tattoo, there goes two happy people who learned a good lesson about

this past weekend.

Well, I learned something about age, too, boss.

What is that?

That age is not important.

Unless you are a cheese.

Touché, my friend. Touché.
