Bye -bye.

Bye -bye.

Good morning, Mark. Good morning, the truth.

Mr. Roy, good morning. Good morning, Julie.

Hi, Julie. Good morning.

Would you mind if I don't come with you to the plane?

Why? Well, Tattoo asked me to locate a horse for Miss Talbot's fantasy.

Ah, yes, Miss Talbot, who wishes to lead the charge of the Light Brigade.

Boss, she's over 300 pounds.

You're absolutely right. To a 300 -pound woman doesn't sound like a Light

Brigade, does she?

And I am certain a horse would agree.

Well, Julie, continue your quest and report all progress to me, huh?

Oh, I will, Mr. Ward.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye, Julie.

Shall we?

Smiles, everyone.

Smiles.

Miss Sally Harris, the telephone answering service operator.

She's cute.

What a fantasy.

To meet the man of her dreams.

Or to be more precise, three men.

She's in love with three men?

In a sense, she is the two.

You see, the two Miss Harris knows them.

And yet she doesn't know them. They all know her.

And yet they don't know her.

In short, none of them has ever met face to face.

Very complicated.

If complicated were the worst of it, Miss Harris would not be about to face

most difficult period of her life.

Oh, what nice kids.

They look happy.

Mr. Jason Martinique and his sister Beth have not seen each other in many years.

Not until today.

Martinique, that sounds familiar.

Yes, they are the children who, after being shipwrecked on the north end of

Fantasy Island, were adopted and raised by Mr.

Martinique.

Martinique, isn't it a farmer and his housekeeper who died such a horrible

death? Yes, that's true. Their fantasy is to find out what actually happened.

truly happened on that fateful night when Mr. Martinique and his housekeeper

were murdered.

Unfortunately, they will find that some events are best left unknown.

Particularly this one.

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

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Well, this is where we must part.

You will find signs leading to your uncle's house along the route.

Thank you, Mr. Rourke. I remember the way.

Before you go, I must remind you that despite the consequences, you are on

own once your fantasy begins.

Regardless of the outcome,

it cannot stop until it has reached its own conclusion.

Oh, we'll be all right.

Won't we, Jason?

Sure. I can't wait to see the old house.

Remember one thing.

Whatever the circumstances, you do have each other.

Thank you, Mr. Rourke.

Bye -bye.

Good luck.

Thank you.

It hurts already.

Oh, Sally, it's hopeless.

Nobody's going to buy my screenplay.

Don't say that.

It's a good story. You're a good writer. Just be patient.

You have to give it a little time, Ben.

Miss Harris?

Oh, Mr. Rourke, hi.

You seem nervous.

Is something bothering you?

I've been thinking things over.

It was a mistake coming here, and I'd better leave before it becomes a

Those three men are going to take one look at me and know I'm not who they

thought I was over the telephone.

And they'll be right.

I'm just a put -on, Mr. Rourke.

May I?

Oh, please.

Miss Harris, you must have confidence in yourself.

Hey, lover boy, it's 646.

Sally, baby, why don't you just come over here and kiss me awake?

Jack, I'd be there in a minute.

But we are too... Two sexual animals.

We tear each other apart.

Mr. Rourke, I'm a sensuous woman to Jack.

Tony likes my business mind.

And Ben thinks I'm a writer's best asset.

Don't you see?

As long as I'm a voice at the other end of a telephone answering service, I can

be anyone.

But face to face.

You said they want to marry you.

And you also care about them.

Miss Harris.

Miss Harris, you are a lovely woman.

Your problem is perhaps a lack of self -confidence, you see.

However, I have arranged it so that they will see you exactly as each envisioned

you.

Exactly.

Sorry, I can't go through with it.

Oh, but my dear Miss Harris, your fantasy has already begun.

You mean they're here? Yes.

The three of them? Of course. Already?

Yes.

I don't know which deal to take. That's why I'm calling you.

Well... Tony.

Do I go with the three buildings in Houston or do I take the Dallas

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

How... We bought an option in Dallas. How can they make us another offer?

Our position is legally firm.

I have arranged it so that they will see you exactly as each envisions you.

Exactly. Tony likes my business mind.

That option of binding on all parties until its termination date, which, if my

memory serves me correctly, is more than a month from now.

Believe me, they're just bluffing. All I'm trying to do is stall for enough

until I can figure out what to do with these three buildings in Houston.

You've been working on Houston too long to pass it up.

Go with Houston.

Sally. Hello, Tony.

It isn't you, is it?

But it is. It's you.

I can't believe it. Right here, when I need you, as always.

What are you doing on Fantasy Island?

Well, you might say I'm looking around for another situation.

Fantastic. You got it.

You remember the project in Brazil?

You said stick to your guns. Well, it's working perfectly.

It's great to hear your deals are going well, Tony. I always knew they would.

Our deals, Sally, ours. I can't do it without you. Never could.

And now that I see you like this, I knew it would be like this. Look at you.

You've got a smashing business appearance.

You'd be a big asset to any corporation.

Edwards.

Yeah, on the... Hold on, hold on. The Tennessee figures?

You said you weren't interested.

Not interested.

No, that's what I said.

I have to get to a meeting, but can we get together later?

I'd love it.

My lock bungalow.

Edwards, hold on, please. Sally, I have something very important to ask you, and

I'm sure you know what it is.

The tree's been standing for 50 years.

Let's go on in.

No, Jason, wait.

I'm afraid.

It'll be all right.

Come on.

Sorry. Oh, gosh, you frightened me.

You all right?

Jason.

Chains, run.

No, no, no. Before it fell, it... That sound, it was... It was nothing.

It was a wind.

So I said to her, you keep the car, and I'll settle for the insurance.

Jack!

Then she said she didn't care for that as a matter of policy, so I told her

it may not suit her policy, but from here on out, it's the company policy.

I've got a lot more where that came from. I have arranged it so that they

see you exactly as each envisions you.

Exactly.

I'm a sensuous woman to Jack.

large business.

I've got a fleet of secretaries who I'm in

constant touch with.

And there's not really too many places

in the world.

Champagne?

Oh, no, I think I'll have a sexy little drink, the one with the umbrella on top.

Excuse me. I, uh, I'm really not trying to pick you up, but don't we

know each other?

Let me blow in your ear, Jack.

Sally, Sally Harris.

Sally, Sally, Sally. Oh, my God. I can't believe this. Look at you. I

can't believe it. I mean, I'm actually holding you, touching you.

Easy, lover. Well, I'm a genius.

I'm sorry. I just can't help myself. I mean, you are beautiful.

I mean, you always sounded beautiful, but I mean, you.

You really are more than I imagined.

Why did you keep me away so long, huh?

Hey, hey, hey. I can slow down.

Whatever happened to 555 -8397?

Oh.

The redhead.

Well, that's all over.

You were right, as usual.

Absolutely not my type.

Yes, I'm coming.

Would you give me a chance to ease her out and I'll be right back, okay?

I'll be around.

You better be.

Because now that I've seen you, I'm never ever going to lose you. And we are

going to discuss a very serious arrangement.

Good heaven.

Tony wants me to be his partner for life. And Jack insists that we'll never

separated again.

Oh, excellent.

But what about Mr. Ben Daniels? You did want to meet all three before making a

decision, didn't you?

Oh, yes, that's right.

Yes.

Gee, how will I ever choose?

Oh, I am confident you will find a way.

Thanks, Mr. Ward.

Boy, do you know how to deliver fantasies.

What's the matter?

What's that smell?

That lovely fragrance.

It's Uncle Rich's favorite flower.

That's impossible.

No, it is.

It is.

I remember.

His parents used to pick it every day from the garden.

Beth, cut it out.

Okay. I smell it, too.

It is the flower.

You know what I remember the most about that flower?

Contrast. I mean, it was so... It was so soft and lacy.

Miss Barron's was so prim and starched.

I don't think I ever saw her out of that gray dress.

Jason.

It's a fresh flower.

Now stop it.

But it's out of season.

Any flower can bloom in a hothouse. You're being ridiculous, Beth.

Connecticut. Walking on the final agreement.

You said it wasn't important.

Well, just try to get something in return. Just don't blow the deal.

Okay? Bye.

How did I ever manage without you?

Tony, I'm really not good at business.

I just listen to some message information and I'm able to look at the

from a distance. Don't tell me about Sally Harris. I've known you for too

from the other side of a telephone.

From now on... you and I are going to knock the business world on its ear

together. Is that a deal?

Sure, Tony.

But isn't there more to life than just business?

Sally, I'm asking you to be my partner in business and in life, the two of us

all the way. My connections and your brains, my schemes and your good sense.

Tony, I... Hello.

Hold on. Albert Steen.

Brussels, remember?

Make them repeat every point.

Lucas, give me all the details.

No, no.

You've got to get the extended coverage.

Well, first you ask to see the letter of credit.

Why not?

Lucas, we asked for that six months ago.

Well, then why... We'll ask him today.

No, you just go in there and ask him, that's all.

the house. There's nothing in there.

I saw something, Betts. Obviously, I did not see a corpse.

You are so unbelievably luscious.

And we go together so well.

Why?

Why did you put off meeting me in person, huh? Well, to tell you the

had a strange feeling that... Shh, I don't care, I don't care.

We're together now.

Jack, please wait.

You're right.

We've danced long enough. Let's go to my room. I'll have some champagne sent

there. Hold it.

What? You're moving way too fast.

Too fast?

Come on. We've known each other nearly three years.

I mean, we've talked every day. You've pulled me through some pretty traumatic

situations. Come on.

Time's a -wasting. Jack, I don't want to go to your room.

You don't want to go to my room?

I passed up a good thing because of that super come on you gave me at the bar.

Oh, thank you, boss. You're the one blowing in my ear on the phone,

I mean, what is it? What was all that about?

Oh, I am terribly sorry, Mr. Simon.

The hotel will take care of your cleaning bill, naturally, but I am so

Come, Miss Harris, you're late for the coverage show. How clumsy of me. Please

forgive me.

What are you staring at?

You.

You've grown into a very beautiful woman.

Thank you. I didn't think brothers noticed things like that.

So, tell me about your job.

Well, if I accept, I'll be overseas manager.

That means a long stay in Europe.

Well, you'll meet new people and...

You'll see new places, new romances.

From your letters, I didn't think you ever let college interfere with your

social life.

I was a kid then.

And now you're a very serious adult.

Don't laugh.

I know what I'm looking for.

I guess I just never found anyone I liked to be with as much as my own

You enjoying life?

Yeah. I have to beat them off with sticks.

Kings and princes and movie stars. You know, I have to beat them all up.

And then there's school if I have time.

In other words, you're not in love and you never have been.

Something like that.

Jason, do you think that they were lovers, Uncle Rich and Miss Barron?

I guess anybody can.

All along, way out here, I keep wondering why two people would die so

violently.

Why they would turn on each other so passionately.

It had to be a lover's quarrel.

What do you think?

Beth.

It was us.

My fantasy is not at all what I expected, Mr. Lloyd.

Oh?

To Tony, I'm just a business asset.

And I'm not sure Jack really understands that there's more to me than just a...

Is he a doctoress?

Yes. That's what you were to him on the other end of the telephone.

But I only did that because I thought that's what he needed. Oh, I see. But,

Rourke, I came here to get them to know the real me.

But all they see is what they've always seen. Maybe they'll never see beyond the

telephone.

Yes. But, Miss Harris, don't forget...

There's still one more voice for you to meet. And you might as well meet him

right now before you lose your nerve completely.

Perhaps he'll be the one who sees you as you really are.

Ben. Ben, yes. The one you describe as gentle and sensitive, remember?

Well, he's either right there.

Go ahead, Miss Harris.

Meet your third mystery voice.

Okay. But if I don't like him, I'll just pull his plug, all right?

Oh, absolutely.

Will you excuse me?

I have arranged it so that they will see you exactly as each envisions you.

Exactly.

Marissa be the one to walk out on Mark within the sea.

Hi there. It's work time, Benji baby.

Roll that paper in the machine and let me hear the old kid banging away.

That voice.

Sally? It's me, Ben.

I don't believe it.

Believe it?

I come here to get away from the world and you're here.

I thought you could use some encouragement like on the phone.

Stay on the phone.

Just because I hire your answering service doesn't mean that you can invade

privacy. How did you find me? Oh, Ben, I didn't mean to do anything. Just leave

me alone.

Just leave me alone.

And from now on, stay on your own side of the telephone where you belong.

One moment, please.

May I help you, please?

Thanks. I'll bring you something.

Good morning, Mr. Roy. Good morning, Miss Harris. I wasn't aware that you had

come to Fantasy Island to work.

Oh, you know, busman's holiday.

Thank you for waiting. I can ring now.

I'm just taking over for the regular while she's on her lunch break.

Oh, I see.

I'm sorry. That line is still busy.

Would you care to wait?

Not really, Miss Harris. Excuse me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ogle, they won't be in today.

You're welcome.

Sorry. Oh, no, that's all right. I was just going to say that this is not what

your fantasy was supposed to be.

Well, maybe it is, Mr. Rourke.

Listen, you've been great. Please don't be upset.

I'm used to disappointments. I just plug them out.

I see.

Then we must try something else.

There's no need.

May I help you?

Certainly, Mrs. Evans. I'll put you right through.

Oh, it's so much easier being behind a switchboard, anonymous.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could just plug in a little caring here and a

little laughter there?

Plug out the pain?

Miss Harris, there are two kinds of people in this world.

The givers and the takers.

All of your life, you have been a giver. I think it's high time for you to reach

out. For what? They don't want me.

They want the person I was on the phone.

Then make them want you, for you alone.

One man is right for you.

Find out which one and make him see it. But in order to do that, you must become

involved. You can't live your life as a disembodied telephone voice, can you?

Think about it, huh?

There's no use of batteries, Dad.

That means we're stuck here.

No, we're not.

I'll find a phone. We were supposed to call Mr. Rourke anyway.

You'll never find a phone, Jason.

You'll never start this car.

Something is keeping us here.

Okay, so we'll stay here and face it.

Mr. Rourke said it won't end until we work it out.

Tattoo? Hi, boss.

What's going on?

I'm into karate.

I'm praying for my black belt.

Watch this.

Hey, Tattoo, that is a very thick piece of wood. Are you certain that... Don't

worry, boss.

It's a piece of cake.

With all due respect, I'm afraid your piece of cake still has the icing on it.

Back to the drawing, Barbara.

miles away from anything or anyone.

Look, we can see it through.

Why have you come back?

Miss Barrett, what do you want from us?

We liked you. We always liked you. It was all your fault.

I hate you.

I hate you both.

I killed Richmond and I'm going to kill you.

Now, now.

Back to bed.

Children should not be up at this late hour.

Let's see.

The flowers are on the table.

My hair. How's my hair?

Do you like my dress? It's new, you know.

Congratulate me, Miss Barron.

I bagged six pheasants today.

Wait till I tell the children.

Richmond?

I love you.

I know it sounds crazy, but I've been wanting to tell you for so long, and I

can't hold it in any longer.

I've loved you since the day I first came here, and I always will.

Do I understand you correctly?

You love me.

Me?

You and me?

No! No!

Don't laugh!

No, please don't do that to me!

Listen, listen. No, wait, wait. Wait a minute. You don't understand. No,

you, I don't want to live!

You don't understand.

Say.

Miss Behrens, it was an accident. Both deaths were accidents.

In your pain, you had closed it from your mind.

Remember now.

The gunshot.

The children upstairs.

They were your first concern, always.

You ran up, hoping to shield them from the sight.

In your haste, you slipped and fell.

He loved me.

Richmond said he loved me.

They can go together now in peace, now that they too know the truth.

That's over.

Not quite.

Before your fantasy can be completely fulfilled, there is one more vital piece

of information I must share with you.

Will you come this way, please?

Hey, Sal, where were you? A lot of deals came up, including Brazil. I finalized

the whole project.

See, you really can function without me. Listen, lady, you help close the most

fantastic package of my life. I want you to know that.

Tony, tell me something.

Yeah. Is there more to our relationship than just business?

After 4 ,000 phone conversations, is that all you think we're about?

Okay, so when do we leave?

Well, would you believe one major complication? Sure you would. You've

there with me before.

Complication?

Biggest deal of my life, and the guy I'm working for thinks that women belong

out of business and in the kitchen.

I mean, I can't take you with me until this deal is closed. It should take

six months.

I'll, uh... I'll talk to you on the phone.

Live.

I'll think it over. Sal, don't think me a louse for leaving you out of it.

You never.

You're a businessman.

I'll say one thing for you. I know. You couldn't have done any of it without me.

When I get back to New York, we'll set up some new projects, okay?

Stay in touch. I'll call you.

It was a violent winter, one of the worst we ever had on the island.

The seas were treacherous, ships foundered up and down the coast.

There were two shipwrecks.

Jason, first you landed, and then you came ashore a few nights later.

There were no other survivors.

What are you trying to tell us?

You mean... Yes, Miss Martinique.

You are not related.

Why weren't we told?

Why didn't he tell us?

Your uncle, Rich, intended to tell you when you were older. Now, try to

understand. He was a simple man.

A bachelor suddenly accepts the responsibilities of a father.

I thought it would be less of a problem to raise you as brother and sister.

Jason.

You're not my sister.

I love you, Beth.

I always have.

Fantasies often work in strange and wonderful ways, too.

Indeed.

Sorry, you've just been disconnected.

Can't hang up on me now.

Sally.

Sally, I came to apologize for being so rude.

And... Oh, I don't know.

I don't have anything else to say.

You're a writer. You get an awful lot of blocks.

Okay, I'll elaborate on the scene. I'm sorry.

Look, all those times on the phone, I know what I said. I want you.

I need you.

And in a way, it was true.

No, Ben.

No more hiding.

Either it was true or it wasn't. And obviously it wasn't.

When I saw you, I panicked.

You see, Sally, writers don't get involved.

They stay on the outside.

Write that in a play and they'll laugh you off the stage.

Our writers are observers.

Like Marcus, the hero in your screenplay?

No wonder your stories don't work. There's no involvement in them either.

I am getting to that, I said. When?

I will call you.

Don't. I always call you.

No, Ben.

I will no longer live my life behind the safety of a switchboard.

From now on, I'm going to plug into life directly.

For real.

There are givers and there are receivers.

What?

I don't know.

Something someone said to me and it made sense.

I guess I'm ready to receive.

So don't call me unless you're ready to give for a change.

Where am I going?

I don't know. I guess you're walking out on me like you're doing with your

career.

Sally, I love you.

Sure, as a story collaborator.

Oh, any way I can get you.

I always have.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

You're right.

This is a great way to tie up the last scene in your script. When Clarissa

back. And she's at a loss for words, like I am now.

Of course, it's wonderful.

Marcus. Marcus.

So simple. Marcus is writing himself.

That's because Clarissa can now accept him graciously.

What's wrong? Are you stuck for an idea?

No.

Listen, you look very nice.

Which one of me looks nice? The sexpot, the businesswoman, or the story

collaborator?

The future Mrs.

Ben Daniels, that's who.

She just got another story idea.

And you have found what you were looking for.

A guy who loves me for myself.

Thank you.

You're so fine who you are. That's important, too.

Tattoo, I'll answer your phones any time.

Nothing.

I'm sorry.

Oh, that's all right, Mr. Daniels. Will you send those tickets to your next

play? The next ten after that. Well, I'm delighted.

Thank you. You're very welcome, sir.

Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

At last she made a phone call and didn't get the wrong number. That's right.

Mr. Roark, we've been so much trouble for you. My dear young people, you cared

enough to untangle the threads of your past, and by doing so...

You freed two couples last night. You deserve a happy future.

Mr. Rourke, I accepted that job in Europe.

Why don't you send me a loaf of bread from France, huh?

All right.

And I'm going along with Jason.

I'll finish school abroad.

I am very happy for both of you.

Mr. Rourke, thank you. You're welcome, Mr. Martinique.

Tattoo. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Rourke, I would like to show you something. Follow me.

Tattoo, not again.

Don't worry, boss.

This time, I've got everything under control.

Watch this.

Tattoo.

You should take up a different sport. Perhaps a less painful one.

Tattoo.

I was watching you from over there.

Not the way you break the board.

That's how you do it.
