Original subtitles

Good morning, Rock.

Good morning, Lawrence.

Smiles, everyone.

Smiles.

Isn't that Mr. Nick Gleeson, sir? The gentleman who's putting on the Fantasy

Island Girl beauty pageant? Yes, Lawrence.

A rather desperate man, I'm afraid.

Desperate, sir?

As a producer of beauty contests, rumor has it that a number of them have been

fixed. Then what on earth can his fantasy be?

To auction off the Fantasy Island girl crown to the highest bidder? I should

hope not, Lawrence.

Since the Fantasy Island pageant will merit international attention from the

media, Mr. Gleason considers this to be the last chance he'll have to clean up

his tarnished reputation and make a success of his life. His fantasy is to

produce an honest and hugely successful show.

You seem familiar with our new guest, Lawrence.

Marion Summers. Even more lovely in person than on the screen.

I take it you're a fan?

Oh, yes.

Ah. But what on earth can her fantasy be?

Surely that is one person who, as they say, has it all.

Miss Summers' fantasy is to be reunited with the two children that she gave up

for adoption nearly 14 years ago. Children, sir? I had no idea.

Neither has anyone else, Lawrence.

Least of all her children.

Well. You can surely grant her fantasy, can't you, sir?

That will all depend on how Miss Summers interprets the word reunited.

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

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Ladies, very lovely ladies, may I add, the competition will be exciting,

and I hope as enjoyable an experience for you as it will be for those who come

to see you compete in the Fantasy Island Girl pageant. As your host, I welcome

you and I wish you all well.

One of you will leave wearing the Fantasy Island Girl crown.

Which is going to be me, thank you very much. However, there is more.

to a beauty contest than mere beauty.

If you open your eyes to the wonder of new places and your hearts to the new

friends you will make, then you will all leave Fantasy Island a winner.

Thank you.

Thank you, and good luck to all of you. You talk like you know a lot about

beauty contests.

I've won my share.

Have you ever been in any put -on by Mr. Gleeson?

No, but I've heard about the way he operates.

The girl that he wants to win, wins.

If you know what I mean. All right, girls.

As I call your names, step on stage, give us a turn, and then move off and

fitted for the outfits you'll be wearing.

First, Norma Adams.

Well, Mr. Rourke, we're underway. What do you think?

I don't envy the judges, Mr. Gleason. They're going to have a difficult choice

to make.

Angelica Baker.

As one of the judges, Lawrence, don't you agree?

Me, sir?

Now, Mr. Gleason suggested that someone should represent Fantasy Island on the

judges' panel, and I recommended you.

Unless, of course, it's a burden you'd rather not... Oh, no, no, no, sir.

We must all make sacrifices.

Thank you, sir.

Tina Evans.

Something the matter, Mr. Gleason?

That girl is my daughter.

I swear to you, Mr. Ruff. Jacqueline Bailey.

I had no idea she entered this contest.

Oh.

I can see that puts you in a rather awkward position, doesn't it?

Awkward? Jill McLean. I mean, if somebody finds out, they'll think I'm

in the fix.

I can be run out of this business for good.

We're really beautiful children, Miss Somers.

And why not? With you for their mother.

Please, where are they?

Ellie and Bill are already on the island, Miss Somers. But before I take

them, we must go over the ground rules.

Believe me, I have them memorized.

I am to lecture at the Fantasy Island Drama Workshop for high school students.

I will show no favor to them, nor will I make any grandiose offers to any of the

students. In particular, Ellie or Bill Woods.

I know it sounds unfair, Miss Summers, but it's really for the best. If you'll

excuse me, sir, I'll go and see if the workshop is ready for Miss Summers.

Of course, Lawrence.

Thank you.

For the best.

I know all about doing things that are really for the best.

That's why I gave them up in the first place.

The best for them or for you, Miss Summers?

Them, me, the three of us. What difference does it make now?

I was young and... trying to make it in the movie business when their father ran

out on me. I didn't have a dime for anything, let alone raising two

I thought that if I gave them up, they would have a better chance at life, and

so would I.

Then why, after all this time... Because I can afford them now.

I can give them all the things I never could before.

I see.

Miss Summers.

It's not just a monetary consideration, is it?

No.

Now my career can afford them as well. No one is going to be scandalized if it

turns out that I have two children. I sympathize with you on all the pain. I

know this has cost you, Miss Summers, but it's really quite beside the point,

isn't it?

Because no one will ever know you have these children.

That's right.

My fantasy was to be reunited with them, not to take them home.

Exactly.

Mr. Lawrence? Yes.

You're one of the judges, aren't you?

Yes, Miss.

Mr. Lawrence, I wouldn't dream of doing anything to influence the decision of a

contest judge.

That would be unethical.

But a girl all alone needs somebody to protect her.

Especially at night.

If you know what I mean.

I know precisely what you mean.

And if your chaperone doesn't provide sufficient security, I shall dispatch a

pack of ferocious guard dogs to protect your perimeter.

Good day, miss.

Nick?

Only three of the girls know how to tap dance.

What'll we do about the New York number?

Make it a tropical island.

Everybody can hula.

Okay. Linda, where is my daughter?

I'm sorry about that, Nick.

She changed her last name.

I know. It was probably her mother's idea.

Where is she now?

Over there.

Thanks.

Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise?

Recognize him, Peanuts?

It's your father.

Hello, darling.

It's nice to see you again, Daddy.

It's nice to see you, too.

But cool the Daddy stuff.

You know, with me running the contest and all, people might think that... That

Daddy's a crook?

Fifteen years of using our daughter as a club against me isn't enough?

You want to bury me altogether?

I know you won't believe this, but I had nothing to do with Tina entering your

fantasy island girl contest. It was all her idea.

It was, honest.

Same as always.

She lies, and you swear to her. Oh, listen, if you're going to make a scene,

it later. I have better things to do. Goodbye.

Well, it's been a long time.

Yeah.

High school.

Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your graduation.

I was doing a show up in Canada at the time. I didn't expect you, so I wasn't

disappointed. But thanks for sending me those flowers.

It was really nice.

Tina, I know I haven't been the best father in the world, but it hasn't all

my fault either.

I understand.

My.

You have certainly grown up to be a beautiful young lady.

Thank you.

So, young man, do you really want to be an actor? I'm not sure.

Well, you may as well forget it right now, then.

Because if you don't really want it with everything that's in you, you might as

well kiss it goodbye standing right here.

Thank you, Miss Summers.

Do you really want it?

You betcha.

That's too bad.

Because I don't think that you have what it takes.

Well, I guess I won't waste any more time then.

You should tell me to go right to the devil. No matter how many people tell

you don't have what it takes, if you honestly believe that you do, you stick

with it.

Thank you.

All right.

Who's next?

I'm Ellie Woods.

Ellie.

Who's going to do the scene with you?

How about you?

No way.

I'm just here to paint the scenery.

I'm Ellie's brother.

How nice.

Brother and sister.

Something wrong?

No, not at all.

Choose a partner and let's get started.

It's no pleasure for me to be here, Karen.

But why is it whenever you shove a knife at me, you always manage to drag Tina

into it, too?

Oh, now you're worried about your daughter. Wonderful.

Only tell me this. Where the hell have you been for the last 15 years while

been raising her alone?

What do you want me to do, stick pins in a map? You know I've been promoting

these beauty pageants from Anchorage to Key West.

Hey, remember me, Nicky, where the alimony and the child support comes

Now, that's no excuse for dropping in on your daughter only when you happen to

be in the neighborhood.

Oh, and let's talk about all those cute little beauty queens you played around

with. Now, wait a minute. Hold the phone.

That has always been a no -win argument between us. No, sir. The problem now is

this contest.

Tina being in the competition just won't work. Can't you see that? No.

Light a match.

Come on.

The producer of the show is the father of one of the contestants.

Can't you see what a stink that would make if that got out?

Since nobody knows she's your daughter, I see no problem.

Come on.

You can't keep a thing like that a secret.

Why not? You did for 15 years.

You really want to put me away, don't you? No.

All I want from you is to remember that your daughter has a chance of winning

$10 ,000 in cash, a new car, a fabulous wardrobe, all the things you could never

give her, Nick.

You want me to fix it so she can win?

Well, you've done it before.

You're good at it.

And besides, you owe it to her, Nick.

I can't have lunch with all of them, Mr. Rourke.

I can handle Ellie and Billy, but not their mother, too.

You will like Mrs. Woods very much, I assure you. She's a lovely lady.

And it's a compliment to you they invited you to join them.

They invited a movie star to join them, not me.

I know it's difficult, but you've been doing just fine, Miss Summers. Surely

can keep it up for another hour.

They're such wonderful kids.

They're all I could have hoped for.

Well, then go and spend some time with them while you can.

Come on, Bill. Hurry up. I'm starving. Okay.

I'll just have a cheeseburger.

Oh, that's original. I was sure you were going to order a peanut butter and

banana sandwich.

How did you know that was my favorite?

Oh, well, that's everybody's favorite at one time or another.

It's terrific that you could come and teach this workshop, Ms. Summers. You

be so busy with your career and everything.

Please call me Marion.

And I was delighted when Mr. Rourke invited me. So what do you think,

my little girl going to be a star?

Oh, Mom.

From what I've seen, Mary Ellen seems to have the talent.

My name's not Mary Ellen.

It's just plain old Ellen.

Oh.

I'm sorry. I don't know what made me call you that. I had a roommate in

named Mary Ellen. I think you remind me of her.

Was she an actress, too?

No.

Let's talk about you. I want to know all about you, Ellie, and Bill.

I've wanted to be an actress my whole life. It's all I can ever remember

to do.

I'm convinced there's showbiz in my blood.

Mom and Dad think I'm nuts.

Marion, if you don't mind, may I watch your session tomorrow?

Of course.

Oh, Mom.

Oh, Mom.

Ladies and gentlemen, the judges are now casting their ballots that will

determine which six young ladies will return in tomorrow night's final

competition for the title of Fantasy Island Girl.

Until this moment, madam, I never realized how difficult it is to

between a number of heavenly bodies all measuring 36, 26,

36.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention once more? Thank you. In a

moment, Mr. Gleason will announce the names of the six lucky finalists. In the

meanwhile, I think all our charming contestants deserve to know how much we

appreciate their participation.

Don't you think?

Your daughter seems like a very nice girl, Mr. Gleason.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Tina and your reputation if the rest of the world has

on your little secret.

Follow?

What do you want?

Just make sure I'm one of the lucky six.

Here it is, Nick.

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment we've all been waiting for.

The sixth finest of the Fantasy Island beauty pageant. Ladies, as I call your

names, please step forward.

Miss Carol Henderson.

Miss Laurie Wallace.

Ms. Norma Adams.

Susan Moss.

Ms.

Tina Evans.

Miss Angelica Baker.

Smart man.

Not really. Your name was on the list.

So much for the preliminaries, Mickey.

Now, I'm the Fantasy Island girl, or you and your daughter make the six o 'clock

news. Get the picture.

You know, sometimes it's difficult for young actors to play something dramatic

because they don't have much in their lives to draw on. They haven't lived

long, and for the most part, their lives have been happy.

Well, I guess I could draw on my feelings when I got stood up on a date.

I guess that's not much, is it?

Or... No, forget it.

What is it?

Well, Bill and I were abandoned.

I could draw on that.

If I could remember it.

You and Bill were abandoned?

Yeah, I wasn't even a year old and Bill was four.

He says he remembers a lot, but I don't remember anything.

I don't even remember being adopted.

What would you do now if your natural mother walked into your life?

Think I'd seen a ghost?

She died a couple of years after she put us up for adoption.

Died? Yeah, she had a heart attack.

It's terrible to say, but it didn't make any difference to me.

And Bill?

I'm not sure.

I think he always expects people to run out on him.

He's never even had a girlfriend.

Working overtime, huh?

Oh, I'm sorry, Marion. I didn't mean to take up so much of your time.

Your mother is waiting for you, Miss Ellie.

Oh, thank you.

Wait a moment.

I want you to have this.

A very famous director gave this to me when I first started my career, and it

brought me luck.

I can't take this.

I insist.

Thank you.

I'll take the best care of it.

I'll walk you back if you like, miss.

That was a very generous gesture, Miss Summers.

Oh, it's the least I can do for my own daughter after all these years.

I must caution you again about becoming too involved in Ellis and Bill's life.

You're a little late, Mr. Rourke.

Well, ladies, I hope you enjoyed our little tour of Fancy Island.

It's not possible, of course, to show you everything in one morning.

But when the pageant is over, Lawrence will arrange complete tours for all of

you, all right?

Oh, good. Will you excuse me?

Mr. Rock, may I see you in a moment? Of course, Mr. Cleason.

All right, girls, everybody into rehearsal clothes.

You can rest later.

I think I have a big problem.

I don't think the males of the world would agree, sir.

If you'll pardon the observation.

Probably not.

But this involves my daughter being in the contest.

Another contestant, Angelica Baker.

She knows that Tina's my daughter.

And she threatens to tell all unless she's the winner. Right.

To the press, to the world.

And with my background, they'll have a field day. It seems you'll have to make

choice, Mr. Gleeson.

A very difficult choice.

Yes.

Yes, I do.

What do you think he's going to do, sir?

I'm not sure, Lawrence, but under the circumstances, it's quite possible he's

going to break his daughter's heart.

Oh, Marion.

All I ever hear anymore is Marion.

Well, you have to admit, it's pretty incredible.

Her giving me this ring and everything.

Yeah, you know, Marian isn't anything like I thought she'd be.

How did you think she'd be?

Well, I don't know. She must make a million dollars a movie. Usually you

think of someone like that taking a real interest in you. She even asked me

about my natural mother.

How did she know you were adopted?

I told her.

You know, she even said if we're ever in California, we can come and visit her.

Why don't you two amuse yourselves for a while? I'll be back.

Mr. Rourke, I only came here for one reason.

Mr. Rourke, something very strange is going on around here.

It was one thing for Marion Summers to guess that Bill is crazy for peanut

butter and banana sandwiches.

But she called Ellie Mary Ellen.

And even Ellen doesn't know that that's the name that appears.

on her original birth certificate.

And the mother's name on that birth certificate is Marion.

Now, sometimes actresses do change their last names, don't they?

Yes, they do.

Well, I want to know who Marion Summers really is.

Mrs. Woods, it appears to me that you already know.

Marion Summers is Ellie's and Bill's natural mother.

How could you?

Now, please try to understand. No, how could you? Mrs. Wood, please, please.

In arranging Miss Somers' fantasy, my agreement with her was that she merely

meet the children.

That's all.

And under no circumstances would she ever reveal her true identity to them.

I know who you are, and I'm warning you. You say one word to Ellie and Bill, and

I'll... And you'll what?

I'm grateful to you, Fran. You've done a magnificent job with them, but now it's

my turn.

Your turn?

How dare you?

Miss Summers, need I remind you of our agreement?

I'm sorry, Mr. Rourke.

I'm not leaving Fantasy Island without my children.

And I won't let anybody stand in my way.

Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

You know, if your waist gets any smaller, you're going to need a whole

wardrobe.

Let's see.

Well, our daughter looks pretty gorgeous, doesn't she?

A real beauty.

Thanks, Dad.

That's why it's not easy for me to say what I came here to say.

What is it, Nick?

It's a contest.

Something went wrong.

I'm sorry, Tina.

But you're going to have to pull out of the pageant.

Why? She could win this whole thing and you want her out?

Look, at first I thought I could keep it quiet about her being my daughter.

But now it's too late.

Somebody's going to blow the whistle.

Then you quit.

Why should Tina give up the biggest chance of her life because you're afraid

a scandal?

Because this is the biggest chance of my life. And possibly the last.

Tina, darling, you're still young.

You're going to have lots of other chances.

But if I lose this one, I will never, ever come back.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Perfectly.

Oh, nice going, Nick.

Losing the contest after getting a fair shot at it, she could handle that.

What bothers me is...

Can she handle a father who thinks like you?

In sum, if you promised me you wouldn't do what you obviously intended all along

to do.

I swear to you, I thought I would be content just seeing the children.

But having seen them and having had a taste of what it would be like to have

them with me, I must have them back.

You do know that Mrs. Woods has asked me to arrange their departure for this

morning. I can't let them go.

I won't let them go.

Mr. Rourke, I've packed for all of us. When can we leave?

Lawrence, the seaplane departs tomorrow, sir.

That's good.

Will you excuse me?

I am not some despicable creature with whom Ellie and Bill will not be safe.

I am their mother. The hell you are.

Oh, you bore them.

But I'm their mother. I raised them, took care of them, and loved them.

I loved them, too.

And you told them I was dead.

It was only to make it easier for them.

Do you have any idea what it's like for a child to feel abandoned?

Bill was a disturbed little boy.

I knew he'd never get well unless I ended all hope that you'd ever come back

him. But I have come back, and I can explain.

Marion, it's taken me years to gain Bill's trust.

And if you destroy his faith in me now, I don't believe that he'll ever trust

anyone again.

He's happy now and safe.

Do you want to shatter all that? Are you asking me to deny my own children?

I'm asking you to be merciful.

You have the power to leave Ellie and Bill's lives intact.

Or to rip them apart.

And you already did that once.

I won't give them up again.

I won't.

Tina, if you have no use for me, I don't blame you.

It's okay.

I have enough love for both of us.

You sure have a hell of a way of showing it.

Sometimes it isn't that easy to show somebody you love them.

Then let me tell you how you don't do it. You don't... do it by telephone.

You don't do it by calling up on birthdays and say, sorry, kid, but I'm

to help you blow out the candles on your cake. You just don't do that. I know.

You're right.

I've made a lot of mistakes.

I've always been fighting for survival, trying to make a buck instead of

thinking about how you were being raised.

And I'm sorry.

But, Tina, I can change all that now.

Daddy, it's too late.

No, it isn't.

If I make a success of this pageant, I'll gain respect.

I'll have a chance to do bigger shows and make lots more money.

And I want to share that with you.

Tina, I want to become the kind of father I always should have been.

Please.

Talk is cheap.

I am trying to tell you that I've changed.

I'll do anything in the world for you.

Tell me.

What do you want me to do?

I don't know.

I only know that words are not enough anymore.

Is everything all right, Mr. Gleeson?

No, Mr. Rock, it isn't. Oh?

Did you tell your daughter to withdraw from the pageant?

But I've changed my mind about that.

Oh?

Now I'm going to show her how much I really love her.

Doesn't she already know that?

No.

But she will.

After I make sure she wins the Fantasy Island Girl title.

Now, smell the worst thing you ever smelled.

Well, I can see we're not going to get too far with that one.

Now I want you all to work on your scenes.

Did you invite her yet?

No. I was waiting for you.

I hope she says yes.

Come on.

Marion, we're having a party tonight.

Well, actually, our mother's having a party for the kids, and we'd really like

you to come.

Thank you, Bill, Ellie, but... I've made another commitment I have to keep.

Oh, please.

All the kids are just crazy about you, and we want to thank you for the

and everything.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

Mom, please talk to Marion and make her go to the party.

I can't do that.

But maybe she doesn't know how much it would mean to us.

How much would it mean to you?

A lot.

I know it sounds silly because we practically just met her, but there's

something about her.

Well, you know I don't like everyone I meet right away, but she's different.

She's special.

All right.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks. When you get to know her, you're going to love her as much as we do.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have shorted permission while my assistant tallies

judge's vote.

Well, Miss Evans, you must be very thrilled.

Let me be the first to congratulate you.

For what, Mr. Mark?

For winning the Fantasy Island Girl contest, of course.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

The judges are still voting? Oh, just a formality.

I'm surprised your father hasn't already told you that he's putting in the fix,

as they say.

What are you talking about?

Well, it's really quite simple.

After collecting the individual judges' ballots and tabulating the vote, only

your father and his assistant will know the combined score.

And no matter who gets the most votes, your father will simply read your name

the winner.

Oh, no, Mr. Rourke. I'm afraid you've got it all wrong.

My father would never do anything like that for me.

Oh, yes, he would.

It seems he's apparently obsessed with doing something tangible to prove he

loves you.

Unfortunately, when the truth comes out, and it always does,

he'll be ruined.

However, knowing how you feel about your father, that is of no concern to you,

is it?

Well, again, my congratulations.

I thought I'd make you a proud papa, Nick.

Look how good Tina did.

Not good enough.

Give her time. The kid is a class act.

She'll have her day.

Her day is now.

Now, listen.

I don't want you to act surprised when I get to the winner and announce Tina's

name. Nick.

Now, you go along with the play, understand?

But I thought this was only up and up for one. So did I.

But I don't want to lose her.

Ladies and gentlemen, the big moment has arrived.

First, the runners -up, and then the big winner.

The third runner -up in the Fantasy Island Girl beauty pageant is Miss Carol

Henderson.

Second runner -up, Laurie Wallace.

The first runner -up is... Wait.

Thank you, Daddy, but you don't have to prove anything to me.

Ladies and gentlemen, for personal reasons, I'm going to withdraw the

contestant.

Thank you for all your support.

And to whomever wins, congratulations.

It's all right, Daddy.

If you hurry, I think you can catch up with your daughter,

Mr. Gleeson.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, we haven't finished our business yet.

Ah, there seems to be a tie for the first runner -up. Miss Tina Evans is

with Miss Angelica Baker.

And the winner, the Fantasy Island Girl, is Miss Norma

Adams.

I love you, too, Daddy.

They're wonderful kids, Fran.

I know.

And they think the world of you.

Do you think they still will after I tell them the truth?

Would it surprise you if I told you that I'm not surprised?

Are you saying that you knew all along that I would tell them? Since it's

inevitable. I decided the sooner we got it over with, the better for everybody

concerned. You're willing to give them up?

Give them up.

Is that what you think?

Well, yes, if you have the children's best interest at heart. I can do so much

for them.

I'll put them up against your money any time.

All right, kids, refreshments on the patio.

Hi, Marion.

We are so glad you could come.

I had to. This is a special occasion, and I have something very special to

you both.

What is it? You're promoting me from lugging scenery to working the lights,

right?

Now, this may come as a bit of a shock.

Well, let me put it this way. What if I were to tell you that you both are about

to receive an inheritance?

You mean like the place in the country Grandma left to Mom?

Well, this would be even more involved than that.

With this inheritance, you could buy anything you want.

Would you like that?

Like it? Yeah, who wouldn't? It's super.

But who died?

Nobody died.

Wait. How will we inherit something from somebody who didn't die?

Oh, you were told that she died, but she didn't.

I'm talking about... your mother.

My mom?

The woman who gave birth to you.

Who loved you deeply.

Whose heart was broken when she had to give you away.

What are you saying?

My real mother is dead.

No, she isn't.

It's me.

Yes, Ellie.

I'm your mother.

Your real mother.

That you told us.

I'm sorry.

At the time, I thought it was... It was dead.

Then it's true.

Yes.

Marion is your natural mother.

Ellie, I want you and Bill to come home with me.

You're my children.

I want you back.

Why are you doing this?

Now, after all this time?

I want a chance to make up for all those years I was away.

I can give you so much.

Let me show you how happy I can make you both.

Give me that chance.

Ever since I met you, I felt that there was something about you.

Something. Oh, Bill.

But you can't just drop in here out of the blue and offer us the world and

think that's going to change everything.

Bill, I'm your real mother.

No, you're not.

We have a real mother.

Good evening, sons.

No, it's not a good evening, I'm afraid.

The children chose Mrs. Woods.

It's all over.

Not quite all over, perhaps.

Marion, there's a lot of things that happened that... Kids don't know the

for. And sometimes, even if they do know the reason, it doesn't make any

difference because it's what you feel that counts.

What Bill is trying to say is we want you to be our friend.

We'd like that very much.

So would I.

You see, Marion, nobody loses after all.

We all win.

So long, Dad.

So long, sweet girl.

Remember, we have a date next week.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Well, Mr. Gleason, you got your fantasy after all, huh?

Yes, sir. An honest and hugely successful show.

Something that makes it a lot more worthwhile.

Helping me get...

Close to my daughter again.

Thank you, Mr. Martin.

You're very welcome, Mr. Cleveland.

Lawrence? Yes?

You're sure you'll be able to make it for the school play?

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Oh, be good to your mother.

Your other mother.

Your smile could light up all of Brooklyn, Summers.

I owe it all to you, Mr. Rourke, even though I didn't follow the script.

Oh, Lawrence, I'm sorry, but you never gave me the name of your niece in

so I've made the autograph out to you. I hope it's all right.

Very much all right, Miss Summers, and thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Rourke, and goodbye.

Goodbye, goodbye, Miss Summers.

Goodbye.

Lawrence?

Lawrence, I was just thinking, sir, what a wonderful place this is.

Miss Summers came for her fantasy, and I got one into the bargain as well.

Too bad about the autograph for your niece, though, huh?

What niece, sir?
