Original subtitles

Good morning, boss. Good morning, Tattoo.

Smile, everyone.

Smile.

They look like a happy couple, but who are they? Mr. and Mrs. Weston from

Phoenix, Arizona. They are newlyweds.

Did they come here to have their honeymoon?

I only wish they had.

Why? What's their fantasy?

They hope to discover the secrets of eternal youth.

so they can be together for all time.

If they succeed, it could mean exactly the opposite.

That lady looks kind of shy, Bob.

Very shy, Tattoo.

That is Miss Margaret Winslow, a file clerk from Salem, Oregon.

Hmm, that must be pretty boring.

Well, apparently Miss Winslow finds it boring, which is why she seeks escape in

the movies.

Oh, her fantasy is to become a movie star.

No, not quite, Tattoo.

She wishes to have a date with Bert Hunter.

Like the double agent Simon's thing?

Well, yes, that is the role Mr. Hunter is best known for playing, yes.

Well, can I meet him? I'm a big fan of his.

In due time, Tattoo. This is Miss Winslow's fantasy, remember?

A fantasy which may take some rather unexpected turns.

My dear guests, I am Mr. Rourke.

your host. Welcome to Fantasy Island.

I want you to understand, Mr. Rourke, I've never felt about anyone the way I

about Diana.

We're alike in so many ways.

What kind of work do you do?

Alex is an architect, and I'm an interior decorator. We have our own firm

and we spend all day and all night together.

And we want it to stay that way, forever.

A lot of people die looking for the fountain of youth.

That was right.

I caution you.

Cherish what you have. Don't risk it for something that's probably a mere myth.

We believe that all myth is founded in the truth, Mr. Rourke. Can you help us?

There is an island to the south of here, very remote, totally cut off from

civilization as we know it.

Local legend says that the people who settled there came from a powerful and

mystical land far, far away.

Perhaps you will find what you are seeking there.

But I must warn you, it could be very... very dangerous.

When do we leave?

Now, if you go into the pool and dive under the water, your fantasy will

Uh, I'm Mr. Roy. Please, do us a favor.

Bye.

It's Egyptian.

The god Osiris. It's thousands of years old. I wonder how it got here.

Hey, wait a minute.

Do you speak English?

Who sounded the alarm? I did.

I saw these strangers in the sacred pool of Osiris.

How did they get past you? They didn't. They just came up out of the water.

Take them to the queen.

Wait!

Take the woman to Matura.

You two, bring the man and follow me. Oh, Alex!

Alex!

Where are you taking us?

Let go of her!

You cannot imagine what it's like working in a file room all day.

I mean, I don't even have a window.

I guess that's why I love the movies so much. You know, they really keep me

going. Especially Burt Hunter movies.

Oh, the way he plays that part.

You know, I think I have dreamt about being one of Simon Flynn's heroines in

every film.

What concerns me, Miss Winslow, is that you seem to have substituted the

illusion of films for the reality of your life.

Maybe.

But I'm happy.

And I will be even happier when I get to meet Bert.

Oh, he is my ideal.

You know, the kind of man who knows what a woman wants and needs without... Miss

Winslow, even if that were true...

Your fantasy will last only for the weekend.

When it's over, what then?

I will go back to the movies, and I will have my memories.

Very well, then.

Will you come with me, please?

Uh -huh.

Mr. Burt Hunter is waiting for us in his bungalow.

What?

Now? But of course now.

It's a tremendous responsibility being a star tattoo.

I supervise all my scripts, do most of my own stunts.

It must be very dangerous.

Sure. The band's expected.

Each movie I make has to be more spectacular than the last.

Vodka on the rock with a twist of lime, no lemon, just like you like it, right?

You know your Simon Flynn very well, don't you?

Oh, he's my favorite movie star.

Right over here, a TV monitor, just like Simon Flynn.

That's great. That's great.

Front door.

Back door.

That's perfect.

Just perfect.

The boss wanted me to give you this.

You know, Tattoo, I think one of the real secrets of my success is the fact

gotten to know my character so well.

In the past few years...

I have actually become Simon Flynn in real life.

That's why I can't read this script.

Tattoo, I want you to tell Mr. Rourke, thanks, but no thanks.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yes, put him on.

It's my agent from Beverly Hills.

Hello, Max, how are you?

Well, that's not funny, Max.

What do you mean I don't bring in the teen market?

Well, what about my contract?

Well, you do something about it. That's what I pay you for.

What happened?

The studio wants to replace me with an 18 -year -old kid.

Are you crazy?

I know my last movie lost money, but the script was bad.

Oh, here comes the boss with Miss Winslow. My life is on the line, Tattoo.

can't meet that woman now.

John Pice is on Fantasy Island. Scouting locations for the next Simon Flynn

picture.

I've got to find him.

Talk him out of this insanity.

Maybe if he knew how much Miss Winslow wants to meet you, he will see how

popular you still are.

I don't know, Tattoo.

Well, maybe if you dress her up a little bit and make her look more glamorous.

It's just that I've never had to use anyone before.

Just think of it as survival.

Excuse me.

Oh, hi, boss.

Hello, Tattoo.

Miss Winslow?

May I have to send your escort, Mr. Bert Hunter?

Oh, Mr. Rourke, it's really him!

Miss Winslow?

All strangers are to be taken to the Queen. Why are you bringing him here?

I cannot let Mature see his face.

Romance, listen to me.

I'm your friend.

Don't be a fool.

I say we were taking the prisoner to a holding cell for interrogation. There

a struggle, and he fell.

Take him!

You must forgive my captain.

He has behaved brutally and will pay for his actions.

I was only going to question him. He attacked me. That's a lie.

Arrest him.

Diana, my wife. Oh, she's perfectly safe.

I'll take you to her. But first, who are you?

Why have you come to my island?

I'm Alex Weston.

Diane and I came here looking for... Well, it might sound fantastic.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Ty, we came here to find the secret of eternal youth.

You are the man I have been waiting for.

The one my dreams promised.

Dreams?

I will explain everything to you when the time is right.

But for now, know that you will find what you are seeking.

And more.

The only thing he'll find on this island is death.

Did you know I choose a wardrobe for all my leading ladies?

No. I love to dress my women.

Is it really me?

I've always known I had good taste, but this time I think I've really outdone

myself. You look absolutely stunning.

Thank you.

You know, I feel just like one of your heroines.

Well, you know, your fantasy won't be complete until I treat you like one.

Nobody's ever kissed me like that before.

Maggie, I've got to tell you something.

I'm not what you think I am. Oh, no, wait a minute.

I know everything about you.

Your father was a ship captain.

You're a Boston blue blood.

A graduate from Harvard.

Oh,

and you're even more romantic in real life.

When I have dinner tonight, I'll make a reservation for you and Miss Winslow.

Wow. You look beautiful.

Thank you, Tattoo.

Bird, he did it all.

Mr. Arthur, we have to go now.

Your reservations.

My first law says that any strangers found on my island are to be brought

directly to me.

Why did you disobey me?

I worship you.

I'd do anything to protect you from harm.

I have cared for you too, Ramos.

For a while.

as I have cared for many mortal men. I could be so much more than the others if

you'd let me.

I know that the time of renewal is very soon.

Matera, I'd willingly die for you, but I'd much rather be by your side to serve

you and our people forever.

No.

Alex will become immortal and will rule beside me as my husband.

He already has a wife. Not for long.

By this time tomorrow, she will be quite dead.

I thought maybe we could go back to the... Party?

Room.

Oh, boy.

Pick up the menu.

We're not here.

Oh, great.

John, good evening.

Bert, what a surprise.

Do you know my assistant, Yvonne?

Oh, yes, Yvonne, of course. How are you doing?

A lot better than you.

John, there's someone I'd like you to meet.

Margaret Winslow, that's my director, John Pike.

Hiya, doll. Hiya.

May we join you?

Buy you a drink?

Yeah.

Well.

Oh, excuse me.

Tattoo, how is Miss Winslow's fantasy progressing?

Fine, boss, fine.

Hi, Tattoo, Mr.

Orr. Hello, Christy.

Christy, what are you doing here?

You know I never eat junk food.

But today I got this incredible crane for chocolate sundaes.

Two of them?

Yeah, and I'm still hungry.

But I already used up all my allowance.

All?

You couldn't float me alone, could you? I really think I could eat one more.

One more?

Oh, I'm afraid I left my wallet in the office. I'm terribly sorry, Christy.

Tattoo could... Tattoo, what are you looking at?

Oh...

famous movie star.

He's also my best friend.

He is?

Really?

Boss.

He does look kind of familiar.

He played that poor agent Simon Fleeney in the movies.

Do you think you'll get his autograph for me?

Of course. I can also do better than that. Come on.

Excuse me, Mr. Hunter.

She's a big fan of yours.

Well, well.

What a pretty young lady you are, Christy. Oh, thank you, Mr.

Hunter. I don't have an autograph book, but maybe you could sign your name on

one of the menus so I'll always remember where I met you.

You bet, Christy. How about that one?

To Christy.

From your friend, Bert Hunter.

Thanks. This step is just great. crazy about Simon Flynn movies.

I bet I can trade this for a month of Sundays.

Excuse me.

Not good.

Terrific. Look, uh, Bertie, gotta go, huh?

We'll just, uh, we'll just leave you to your fans. All two of them.

Come on, doll.

Bertie?

I think I'm falling in love with you.

I mean, you're just about the kindest, most considerate man I've ever met.

Oh, Maggie, stop it.

Don't you know better than to believe everything you see?

Tara, this place is incredible.

It's like walking into a living time capsule.

Little bits of Egypt, Rome, and Greece, all in the present day.

Where did your people originally come from?

When Egypt was invaded by Persia, the pharaoh Necheruhem fled to the south,

past the great pyramids and the splendors of Karnak, until he reached

coast. He was never heard of again.

Yes.

That's one of Egypt's great unsolved mysteries.

We hired Phoenician ships.

and sailed for many years until we found this island.

It is not history for me, but a memory.

Um, Tira, are you trying to tell us something?

I am the pharaoh's half -sister.

Our mother came to Egypt from Rome.

My father, her lover...

was Alexander the Great.

But that would mean that you're over 2 ,000 years old.

Everyone leave me, except this man.

Alex, you don't have to stay here.

Alex, don't let them separate us.

It'll be all right.

You go ahead, Donna.

I alone hold the secret of immortality.

And I must judge who can partake of its miracle.

Soon, I will bathe in the life -giving waters of the pool.

And I will be again as I was in Thebes, as a girl, when I was

barely 18.

It will be the same for you.

Only one of you will live forever.

Open it, my darling, and you will see the man I have dreamed of for over 2

,000 years.

It's a picture of you.

Made centuries ago.

The man I love.

Forgive me?

I never thought I'd see you again.

When I've come to take you to the car show, there it is.

Yes, I remember.

It's from your picture. Island Marauders. Right.

Really? Have all these gadgets in it?

Okay, let's see. A little bit handheld.

Shot widens over here.

Down this way.

Look, there's a 1939 Lincoln.

That's something.

Let's take a look at that. And a car.

Maybe a 16.

Oh, what's he going to do this time?

Sheesh. Take a hike, Buster. This is my girl.

Hey, I don't even know you.

Give me time, honey. You will.

Will you let go of me? All right, that's enough. That's enough. Just stand back

over there.

Well, hey, Percy.

Wow, that was something.

Well, it's not going to work, though. You see, uh... I used that stuntman

years ago in Mallorca Mayhem.

Stuntman? Come on, doll.

Stuntman? What did he mean, stuntman?

I faked the fight, Maggie.

You gotta take the part away from me. Give it to some kid.

I had to do something.

Maggie, you...

Go after him. Tell him how you feel about me. How you like my pictures, you

know.

I can't believe this.

I thought that you were the most wonderful, honest, real man that I...

Stay!

Stay for what?

My fantasy is a bust.

I mean, I have never been so humiliated in all my life.

Look, all I want is my money back so that I can leave here and forget this

thing ever happened.

I am truly sorry.

I will write you a check immediately, of course.

You!

I told you I never wanted to see you again.

Mr. Rourke, if you don't mind... Could you leave us alone for a few minutes,

please? Oh, certainly.

I have other matters to attend to anyway.

Feel free to use my office as long as you wish.

Would you excuse me?

Now, I want you to stay here and listen to everything I have to say. Oh, like

hell I will.

My father was a plumber, not a ship's captain.

I'm no blue blood, Maggie.

I'm just a kid from the Bronx who took some voice lessons and got lucky.

I've been a fool.

I've been living on nerve and lies for too long now.

I haven't done my own stunts in ten years.

I've never used anybody in my life, Maggie.

And you can believe this.

You're the last person on earth I'd ever want to hurt.

It did hurt.

I felt like nothing.

I came here to... Get away from that feeling.

I've been nothing all my life.

No.

You're a lovely woman.

You know, I think you're the most honest, genuine, real woman I've ever

When I realized what I had done, what I had stooped to... No, no, wait, wait.

I might start to cry.

I mean, I always cry in the tender scenes.

You know, maybe the studio was right.

Maybe it is the kids who are buying all the tickets today more than anybody

else.

Well, anyway, I've decided to bow out and retire so my fans and you can

me at my best.

I think you can never forgive me.

I think I could forgive you almost anything.

Well...

And this will be the last thing my son in Flint ever does.

It'll always belong to you, Maggie.

My soul.

Oh, help us get out of here.

Take us back to the pool and we'll leave.

How? The same way we came.

Look, I can't explain it to you now, but can't you see without Alex here you'd

have material all to yourself?

Unchain this woman, Ramos.

Waiting, resting.

I want to see him.

I want to see him.

No.

You came here to rob me of my secret, and now you must pay.

Keep your secrets. Just let us go.

The price of immortality is high.

Please.

Because I am merciful.

Only one of you has to die.

Either you drink this poisoned wine, or you watch while Alex does.

If I do, what will happen to Alex?

Your sacrifice will bring him eternal life.

Miss Winslow, have you decided to stay after all?

Yes.

Bert's doing something terrible. He needs your help, Mr. Rourke. Oh? Well,

about your fantasy?

Oh, I don't care about that anymore. Look, he's decided to give up acting,

somehow I feel responsible.

Mr. Hunter has been playing one role for nearly 15 years, Miss Winslow.

Perhaps it's time for him to make a change, don't you think?

I miss seeing him in the movies, and I know a lot of other people would, too.

He's just too good to quit.

Yes. I'm afraid it's his decision to make, not yours or mine.

But if he could only be made to see that there must be other parts he could

play. Well, as a matter of fact, I have a script in my office with a part in it

that would be perfect for him. But I haven't been able to get him to even

at it.

Would you let me try?

Has Matera sent you?

Is it time?

Mr. Weston, don't you know who I am?

No.

You seem familiar somehow, but... And your wife, Diana.

Where is she, Mr. Weston?

I'm going to marry Matera.

Perhaps this will help.

Look at it, Mr. Weston.

Now look at the ring on your own finger.

They're identical.

I don't understand.

The queen has been using the jewel in her necklace to hypnotize you.

Now try to remember, Mr. Weston.

Remember?

Diana and the great love between you.

Remember before it's too late.

Diana.

Well, what happened to her?

Where is she? Mr. Rourke, help me.

Mr. Rourke?

Alex.

Alex, my darling.

The time of renewal is drawing near.

What have you done with my wife?

You have no wife but Matira.

That's a lie. Can you tell me what you've done with Diana?

She's gone. Where?

She left. Look, I want the truth, and I want you to tell me now.

You can forget your promises.

I don't want to live without Diana.

But you will.

Mr. Rourke, I'm frightened.

What if I can't find the right word?

Mr. Rourke.

Maybe help is on the way.

Miss Winslow, this is Christy.

Oh, I remember you. You're the little girl that asked for Bert's autograph

night at dinner.

Right. And you're his girlfriend, aren't you?

Well, just now I'm trying to be his friend.

Tattoo kind of told me what happened.

I thought maybe these would help.

Oh, are these for me?

Mr. Hunter. You know, that's a lovely idea.

Whatever made you think of it?

Mr. Rourke always says, beautiful things make beautiful feelings happen.

I hope it's okay to give flowers to a guy.

I'd say it's immensely okay.

Of course, there's really only one way to find out.

Isn't there?

Yeah.

Good luck.

Come on, Tattoo. I've got a quarter.

I'll flip you for treats on a soda.

Oh, goody, let's go.

Wait for me.

You know what?

I was pretty good.

You are still pretty good.

Hi. Hi.

Those for me? Yeah.

Well, I'll say, I've never, never gotten flowers before.

You know, I think I like it. A lot.

Um, here.

Read this.

Mr. Rourke says that this could be the beginning of an entire new career for

you.

I don't think so, Maggie.

See, before Simon Flynn came along, I was just another starving actor.

Drove truck, did odd jobs, never finished college.

If I hadn't landed that role, I would probably be a bum now.

Do you understand, Maggie?

Without him, I am nobody.

Nothing.

You're wrong.

You are exactly who and what you are as Bert Hunter that made the role exciting.

You... Created Simon Flynn, not the other way around.

I love you.

Enough to marry me. You know, I've saved up plenty of money.

We could travel, and I could show you the real world.

Um... Uh... Can I give you my answer tonight?

If your answer is yes.

Hey, Maggie.

I need you.

Probably more than I've ever needed anything in my life.

Well, if Mr. Hunter refuses to read the script, I guess there is nothing else we

can do, Ms. Winslow.

Oh, but there is.

We have got to convince that director to cast Bert as Simon Flynn again.

How can that help now?

Oh, look, if Bert marries me now, I don't want it to be because he thinks

has -been.

I don't want him to settle for second best.

I've done that all my life.

If I do what you ask, Miss Winslow, you might lose him.

It's a chance I'm willing to take.

Mr. Rourke, please, just make him look like a hero.

One more time?

Very well.

Why don't you take him to the antique car show tonight?

Osiris, ancient one, as you were reborn so many

eons ago, so will we be reborn tonight for all eternity.

now. She may live again, but you'll forfeit the immortality Matera has

you. You mean I can bring Diana back to life? Yes, if you hurry.

Oh, Diana.

I love you.

No!

Long life to you both. I will die!

We owe you a debt of eternal gratitude.

Alex, look into the water.

Mr. and Mrs. Weston, your fantasy is over.

Dive into the water, quickly.

Mr. Rourke, Tattoo, you have no idea how good it is to see you both.

Okay,

Maggie, when do I get my answer?

Soon, I hope.

Now, take it easy, Mr.

Hunter, and nobody gets hurt.

You're gonna go with us.

Come on, what are you guys? Now, buzz off. This is not a good time for gags.

It's my director, Practical Joe.

This ain't no joke, superstar.

We figured the studio paid big bucks to get you back.

Now, you move, or we rough up the lady.

All right.

Okay, Maggie, go get Mr. Warf. Tell him to call the police.

Sweat man.

You're the one who won.

Adam.

Rob,

I'm going to put a stop to this. Be back.

Okay, Bert.

That guy's not faking it.

He can still pack a wallop.

All right.

Who put you up to this?

It was the board society.

You were fabulous, Mr. Hunter.

Thanks, Tattoo.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? This has been a

demonstration by one of your favorite actors, Mr. Bear Hunter, as double agent

Simon Flynn in real live action.

Thank you. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. Enjoy

yourselves. You're really something, Mr. Hunter.

Thanks.

Bert, I'm convinced you've still got what it takes.

Listen, I know a great plastic surgeon.

He'll take a couple of tucks here, a couple of tucks there.

We'll get at least two pictures for you, huh?

Thanks, John. Thank you very much, but I don't think so. I have another script

in mind for my next project.

Excuse me.

You got my answer now?

Oh, yes.

Mr. Rourke.

How can we ever thank you?

You mean they found it? They're going to leave forever?

We found a tattoo, but the price was just too high. So we passed.

We decided to stop worrying about when it's going to end and enjoy every moment

of our love as it comes.

I think you've made a very wise decision.

Remember, a poet once said, grow old with me.

The best is yet to be.

Thanks again. Bye -bye. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I cannot thank you enough, Mr. O 'Rourke.

That goes for me, too, Mr. O 'Rourke. It seems you've given me two careers and a

wife. I hope you'll be very happy together.

Thank you.

And thank you, partner.

You're welcome.

Bye -bye. Good night.

Tattoo, are you going to act in Mr. Hunter's next picture?

No, boss. I gave that idea up.

Really? I thought you had mapped out a promising career for yourself.

Well, after I find out what your business is all about.

You know, it's all glamour on the outside.

I don't think I can take all that pressure.
