Good morning, Rock.

Good morning, Lawrence.

Smiles, everyone, smiles.

I had no idea the staff of Funtime Toys
was so engaging, sir.

Yes, Lawrence, delightful, aren't they?

But as you know, things are not always
as they appear, even for such lovely

ladies.

For example, Miss Barbara Jessop has
always been afraid that she's not as

as she should be.

Miss Sandy Hoffman suffers from the fact
that she doesn't have the courage to

stand up for her convictions.

And Miss Nora Leonard has the most
serious problem of all. She feels that

has lost the capacity to love.

Courage, a brain, and a heart.

Does that remind you at all of the
Wizard of Oz, sir?

Now that you mention it, Lawrence, I
wonder who's going to be the wizard.

Now, there's a gentleman who looks
determined to enjoy his fantasy.

Mr. Daniel Custer of Washington, D .C.,
intends to do just that.

But his enjoyment will really come from
what he's giving his wife and two

children. Very commendable, sir. Oh,
indeed.

You see, his fantasy is for his family
to experience the rewards of money and

position that he has never been able to
give them.

Very noble.

But he seems to have forgotten to bring
his family along.

On the contrary, Lawrence.

In his anxiety to please them, he sent
his family on a few days ahead so they

could fully savor what he calls the
sweet life.

As you so often say, sir, splendid.

And then they all go home together, a
happy and satisfied family.

Unfortunately, I am not at all sure that
Mr. Custer will go home again.

Ever.

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

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Mr. Rourke, do you think it's dumb that
I'm hoping you can find me some brains?

Oh, no, not at all.

Yours is an unusual request, but Miss
Jessup on Fantasy Island, everything is

possible.

Except what I want, Mr. Rourke.

Listen, I know I have some great ideas
for ad campaigns, but I start telling

boss that they're not very good before
he has a chance to tell me. Oh, why

you simply wait and let him decide for
himself?

Because I'm chicken.

Is there any way you can give me some
courage?

Allow me to work on it, Miss Hoffman.

In the meantime, your employer, Mr.
Wagner, is waiting for you both right

the toy trade show. I suggest you hurry.

Great.

Bye. Bye.

We haven't even discussed your fantasy
yet, Miss Leonard.

I don't have one.

I don't believe in fantasy, Mr. Rourke.

The designer of such wondrous toys
doesn't believe in fantasy.

You suffered a tragic loss two years
ago, Miss Leonard.

Is that the reason for your skepticism?

These past two years, I seem to be
living without a heart.

And that is something not even you can
give me, Mr. Rourke.

don't know what this means to me, Mr.
Rourke. This is the only really big

I'll ever be able to do for my family.

Well, I'm pleased you're happy, Mr.
Custer, but in the many years of your

marriage, are you sure that your wife
and your son and your daughter feel that

way about you? Look, my wife is a
beautiful woman, and she could have done

better than me, and I know it. The only
thing I've got in common with my kids is

we all know I'm a failure.

Mr. Custer, this is the first day of
your fantasy.

Whether it's all you expect it to be
depends on you.

Now, please try to enjoy it. Look around
you.

Look at the beauty of nature. Feel the
peace and tranquility.

Forget your worries.

You're right.

Oh, look at this place.

Mildred must have fallen in love at
first sight. And what about my kids,

and Natalie? They're living it up,
right?

Why don't you go inside and find out for
yourself?

Just what I'm going to do.

Hey, Mildred!

I'm here!

I do hope things turn out as he expects
them.

Perhaps his enthusiasm will, as they
say, rub off on the others, Lawrence.

Perhaps. But it so often seems that
those who totally rely on others to

appreciate their efforts are doomed to
disappointment.

Very true.

And Mr. Custer is a man trying to cope
with what he considers to be his failure

in life.

And what is that, sir?

Seeing others promoted past him in his
work.

Watching others grow rich while he
scrambles frantically just to stay even.

Surely his family understood?

They tried, but even more tragically,
the stress, the anxiety has taken its

on him physically.

Oh, no, sir.

You mean something serious, of course.

Yes.

A strained and badly weakened heart.

which he has kept secret from everyone,
and which sadly could retire him

permanently at any moment.

And it encourages children to develop
their coordination and their

Which they won't need if they grow up to
be as cute as you are.

Even cute people need brains.

This campaign for over the wall is going
to be dynamite.

Don't you think so?

I'm not sure I see it, Sandy.

Courage.

But I really think that it's going to
work.

Put this away.

In this business, thieves are
everywhere.

We'll talk about it later.

I wish we had something like Molly in
our line. She's a dream.

Thank you.

I think so, too.

What do you think about lunch?

I'm really awfully busy.

I'd like that.

One o 'clock.

One o 'clock.

Where is everybody?

Dan? Oh, Dan, I thought I heard someone
coming.

Oh, Dan, I'm so glad you're here.

Oh, boy, this is what I dreamed of.

Natty, hello.

Oh, you look as though you were born on
this elegant terrace. Oh, I feel like

it, Dad.

And wait till I tell you about somebody
I've met. I know you'll like him. Of

course he will, darling. Let your father
have some lunch first.

Well, Raymond.

What do you think?

Terrific, I guess.

Come on, kid.

Dad?

Huh?

His name is Lance Hale, and he's filthy
rich.

He owns all kinds of warehouses or
something. I don't know. Who cares?

Anyway, I told him you were a tycoon,
too.

And was he impressed?

You did what?

Well, how else am I supposed to explain
this mansion and everything?

I mean, we are here to live a fantasy,
right?

I thought you'd be pleased.

I am pleased, darling.

No, no, really pleased.

Matter of fact, I'm happy as hell.

I really have to get back now.

How about tonight, then?

I work all the time, Stephen.

It's my whole life.

I hope it's not too rude to ask, but
have you ever really let yourself go?

Fallen in love?

Thought about sharing your life with
someone else?

I've been in love, Stephen.

And I've shared my life with two
wonderful people.

My husband and my daughter.

I lost them both in a car accident two
years ago.

I don't talk about it much because
there's nothing much to say.

Molly was only three.

Molly.

You're a beautiful baby doll.

So, now you know more about me than most
people do.

I've worked it all out with Mr. Rourke.

We are going to top off our fantasy with
the fanciest white tie shindig you can

imagine. Oh, Dan, couldn't we enjoy
ourselves in a quieter way? Honey, we've

always done that.

Lived in a quiet little house in a quiet
little street.

Made do with a quiet little income. This
is our chance to do it big and loud.

I like what we had. Oh, honey.

You have been darn good about it. Yeah.

Sometimes I think of all those, you
know, those sales pitches that I used to

make to you when we were going together.

About making it big and traveling all
over the world. Oh, Dan.

Everybody dreams like that. Yes, but,
Mildred, I meant it.

You, the most beautiful girl in
Alexandria, Virginia.

Probably in the whole state. You could
have had your pick of a husband.

Well, from any of those rich, old
families.

Well, maybe.

But I fell in love with you.

Now, you stop this, Dan.

You just stop it.

I don't care what it might have been.

You never think about what it might have
been like with another man, a guy with

position, power, money.

You never want the things that I can't
give you?

I don't even want to talk about it.

If you don't know how I feel by now, you
never will.

And that is the only thing I am sorry
about.

Mr.

Custer, are you all right?

It's nothing.

Nothing. A little too much sun, I guess.

I'll call the doctor at once.

No, no.

I'm all right now.

Mr. Custer, you should see a doctor.

And your wife should be with you. No.

No.

I give you my word.

I'm...

I'm all right.

And you've got to promise me that you
won't say a word to Mildred about this.

She'll worry herself sick.

Don't want a little too much sun to
spoil things for my family.

It's not the sun.

We both know that, don't we?

Well, whatever it is.

It can't be changed.

Understand?

It's just the way things are.

All my life I've been a loser, Mr.
Rourke.

Let me win this one, will you?

Good evening, Mr. Roy. Good evening.
Well, it's uncommon on the island to see

many beautiful women enjoying themselves
without male companionship.

Well, you can fix that. Sit down.

Thank you. I've turned down 17
invitations already, Mr. Roy. Oh?

don't know how smart that was of me.
Heaven knows how many orders they would

have led to.

Talking about turning over a new leaf.

Isn't she doing great?

Oh, she's doing very well indeed.

Why, thank you.

Sandy's not doing badly either.

Oh, well, thank you very much. But you
know darn well I'm still afraid to open

my mouth.

If I really had any guts, I'd go over
and make a pitch to the boss right now.

You must have faith, Miss Hoffman, in
yourself and in your talent. In fact,

courage is a great deal like talent. The
more you use it, the stronger it gets.

You're right.

Oh, what have I got to lose?

A popularity contest?

Good. Go get him.

Excuse me. Of course.

Nora, a dance.

Yes, of course.

Well, Mr. Rourke, I guess you're stuck
with me.

Oh, on the contrary, Miss Jessop. I'm
extremely flattered.

Why, thank you.

But you saw the market research on Over
the Wall.

I know, but I don't know if it's the
kind of thing we want to be doing now.

But it is.

Good idea. And I think that we should be
doing it now.

I don't want to tell you again.

You're wrong.

I don't want to tell you again.

You are wrong.

Then let me tell you something you
haven't heard before.

You're fired.

Senior mother?

Yeah, she said to tell you she had some
errands to run so she could look

beautiful for your party or something
Well good for her and Natalie She's in

house somewhere with her new boyfriend
Lance. What's his name?

Would you tell me something if I can
sure There's a Ferrari in the garage

in the stables An island full of
beautiful girls just waiting to be

And a hundred other fantastic choices of
what you could be doing with your time.

Would you please tell me what the heck
you're doing writing a letter?

It's not a letter.

It's a poem.

Damn it, son.

There isn't any money writing poetry.

Well, you forgot to mention that when
you used to read them to me when I was a

kid. Remember?

When you were little was different.

I didn't mean to turn you into some dumb
mama's boy.

Will you face it, Dad? I'm never going
to be the financial success that you

always wanted to be.

It isn't just that. Don't you
understand?

It's knowing you haven't got it.

That you're trapped like I am.

I don't want that to happen to you.

I promise you it won't.

Daddy, you all right? Oh, sure.

Sure, sure.

Don't worry about me.

Just what the hell goes on here?

Nothing, Daddy.

It's not what it looks like.

Well, then, what is it?

Let's just keep it calm, Mr. Coster.

I've been looking forward to meeting
you.

Maybe we could do a little business
together.

Natalie's told me a lot about you. Did
she tell you I've got this thing about

strangers making love to her in my
living room?

Just take it easy. There's no problem
here.

Get out of here, you... Daddy!

Daddy, please!

Why don't you keep him in a cage?

What is wrong with you?

Lance and I love each other.

Oh, Natty, in two days.

What has time got to do with it?

I went with my husband for two years and
that didn't guarantee a damn thing.

Mark was a flop at everything he did.
And you approved of Mark.

At least Lance amounts to something.

He's already made it. He's rich.

What's money got to do with it?

My God.

Everything.

Mr. Rourke, Mr. Rourke, look, I took
full advantage of my fantasy, but it got

fired.

What are you going to do about it? What
am I going to do about it?

Miss Hoffman, you are in the perfect
place to get yourself a new job. Look

around you.

Why don't you use your newfound courage
to do some good for yourself this time?

Mine was named Butter.

Sandy, you can start work for me right
away, as far as I'm concerned. Okay,

great. I have a new campaign I'd like
you to work on. A new video game. Uh

Over the Wall.

Over the Wall?

Mm -hmm. That's Nora's new game.

Sometimes she owns that.

I'm going to borrow it.

Actually, since you're now part of my
creative team...

You're gonna do it for me. You're gonna
steal it for me.

Like hell I am.

You wanna lose two jobs in one weekend?

I fainted. Yes.

Your wife found you unconscious on
stairs last night.

And she had the servants coming up here.
The doctor said to give you the

sedative when you woke up.

Everything seems to work.

Thank you.

I can see a little numb.

But I'll manage.

Doctor?

What did he tell Mildred?

Please. What did you tell him?

There was no need to tell her anything,
Mr. Coster.

She's known all about the little bottles
of glycerin tablets for some time.

I'm afraid you underestimate her in many
ways.

Story of my life, isn't it?

What about the kids?

They know you fainted.

That's all.

Can we keep it like that?

Right now, I just couldn't take a double
dose of fake concern, you know what I

mean?

You may be underestimating your children
just as you have your wife.

I suggest you carefully examine your
relationship with all of them.

All right, I'll do that.

Thanks for trying.

You know something, Mr. Rourke?

So far.

This has been a lousy fantasy.

I'm sorry, Mr. Custer.

But I've only provided you with what you
asked. All the accoutrements of wealth.

The understanding, the peace, the
happiness must come from yourself.

Fred, we've known each other for a long
time.

And it'd be nice for a change if you
would treat me as if I had a brain

my head.

It's what's below your head that
interests me, Barb.

And that's why I'm going to double my
order this year.

Barbara. Barbara, we have to talk.

Oh, okay. I'll leave you to your
girlfriend.

Thanks. But I'll see you later,
sweetheart.

What is it with these guys?

They think with their pants.

Where's Nora?

She's out sailing with Steven.

You know, I really think she's falling
for him. Oh, in that case, we really

a problem.

Steven plans to steal over the wall.

What?

How can you work for a guy like that?

I can't. He just fired me.

Well, we'd just better go tell Mr.
Rourke. We can't do that.

Think how humiliated Nora would be to
have everyone think that Steven was

romancing her just to steal a video
game.

Then what?

leave that to you.

You're the one who came to get some
brain.

Let's try it out.

Ah, don't you look pretty.

Never mind that. What are you doing out
of bed?

Thirty years with the company, and I
never lost a day's work being sick.

And I'm for darn sure not going to miss
an hour of my time playing the tycoon.

Will you help me with this, honey?

Daddy?

Daddy, I'm sorry about what happened.

Wait, forget about that.

I just, I thought that Lance was the
type of man that you would admire.

Funny.

The same thing was said about Mark
before you married him.

Did I say that?

Yep. Matter of fact, you said that he
had a lot of my qualities.

That was part of what attracted you to
him.

Remember?

I guess I do.

Unfortunately.

The main quality of mind that he
developed was being a loser.

Oh, Dad, please. Did we have to?

Sorry. Sorry, Natty. Sorry.

Say, how's it going?

How's the preparations going for the
party? They're decorating the ballroom.

Ballroom? How about that? The Koster
family ballroom. Has a nice sound,

it? Come on, now. Let's go and take a
look. Oh, should you?

Sure. I'll bet you.

Somebody's got to supervise. You know
how it is with servants these days.

Would you look at this place?

Oh, not bad, is it?

It's nice.

Nice.

Nice enough maybe to snap Raymond out of
his poetic reveries or whatever you

call them.

Let's tease him, shall we?

You go ahead, Dad.

Oh, sure.

Bye. Natty.

Hey, are you supposed to be up?

I looked in on you 30 minutes ago. Oh,
fast healer, fast healer.

What happened, Dad?

Oh, nothing to worry about. No, no, I
guess you might call it a case of

accumulated fatigue.

Well, now, what about this?

What do you think of this now?

Hmm? No danger of claustrophobia. Oh.

On the arts out of this world. Uh -huh.

Picasso, Matisse, Clay.

I mean, there's a major art gallery in
there.

Well, I guess my taste in art would run
to something like a picture of a couple

of fighters hanging in a bar somewhere.

I thought you were into poetry.

I write poetry. I look at paintings.

These poems.

Your mother ever see any of them?

All of them.

You don't, I suppose, happen to have one
there that would be simple enough for

your old man to understand.

Fresh off the ancient quill pen.

Oh.

Thank you, son.

Let me know what you think.

Yeah.

May I help you, sir?

Yeah, would you get me to my room,
please? Of course, sir.

Listen, I better... I better get back
and mind my store, you know?

Let's get together tonight, though. What
do you say?

Okay. Okay.

I should probably change and go and mind
my own store for a while, too.

Okay. You go ahead. I'll let myself out.

All right.

Yeah.

That's right.

Yeah.

No, no, no, no. Look, look, look, I've
got it. The question is, if I get it on

the night flight, will you be able to
copy it?

Hi.

All right, then.

I'll call you later.

Goodbye.

What can I do for you?

Well, um... Actually, I need a favor.

Kind of a big one.

I need a job.

How come?

Well, because I want to work for a
company where I can use my brains

my looks.

Unfortunately, Mr. Wagner doesn't seem
to see things that way.

Well, I've always thought of you as a...

Pretty intelligent person.

Why, thank you.

I knew that I'd come to the right place.

And, uh... Actually, I don't want you to
think that I'm giving you a line or

something, but... I've always admired
you.

You have?

Oh, yes.

That's prototypes.

Probably a short circuit in here
somewhere.

You're just like all the rest, coming on
to me when I'm trying to talk business.

Well, just forget it.

What?

That's what they all say.

If I didn't know I was too tough to
kill, I'd be scared.

I'm scared, Dan.

Honey.

Honey.

The one thing I was smart enough to get
was lots of insurance.

Dan.

I didn't mean that.

I'm afraid that something will happen to
one of us without you realizing the

truth.

That's the problem. I do. No, no. No,
you don't.

You lost your ability to see the truth a
long time ago. Miller, please.

Oh, Dan, darling.

It's not your fault. Who knows what you
might have been.

If you'd taken chances, gambled on the
future.

But you took a job you didn't like.

Because it meant security for me and the
children.

Any man would have done that. Well, I
don't know about any man.

I only know about you.

You never missed a birthday.

You never missed a graduation.

If someone was sick, you never left
their bedside.

Knocking yourself out, playing the
clown.

Those were the good days, weren't they?
Yes, darling.

They were.

You gave of yourself.

You gave your love.

You gave me and the children 110 % of
what you had to give Dad.

And you still do, but... But?

You never allow us to give you anything
back, Dan.

At least not very much.

Oh, Dan.

We all love you, too.

But you never allow us to get past that
wall of frustration you've built up

between yourself and the rest of us.

There isn't much more left.

Isn't it too late, is it?

Oh, Dan.

It's never too late for love.

It's probably Mr. Rourke. I asked him to
come over.

Honey.

I'll always love you.

Oh, Dan.

Always.

Dan, I'll always love you, too.

How do you feel, Mr. Custer?

Ready for the big party.

I... I have been a foolish man.

Only fools think they are wise, Mr.
Custer.

The wise man is almost certainly a fool.

My son wrote this.

Where did you get it?

I asked him for it.

It says something about me, I think.

I'm going to ask you a favor.

Anything you wish, Mr. Custer, of
course.

Read it, please.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Lawrence? Sir?

If you'll excuse me.

I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

Something came up.

I know.

I'm going to do my best to explain this
so that you understand.

I'm listening.

My business is going under.

I need a surefire winner. That's what
you've created with Over the Wall.

It's as simple as that.

You made a fool of me, Stephen.

And what's worse, you've broken my
heart.

And I swore I'd never let that happen
again.

I didn't mean for that to happen.

Nora, I... I care about you.

But you were never interested until this
weekend.

I haven't cried since.

Rob and Molly were killed.

And I can't believe that I'm crying now
over someone like you.

One good thing.

I found out I had a heart the minute I
felt it breaking.

It's all my fault. I should never have
interfered. No, you did the smart thing.

There's no telling how much damage
Stephen could have done to me and

you hadn't stepped in.

Well, I guess that makes me the big
loser, huh?

Well, you got your brains, you got your
heart.

I got fired twice.

Sandy.

Sandy, I want to talk to you. And I want
to talk to you.

First, you're firing me with a big
mistake. I know this company. I know

advertising. And I know who our
customers are. And your not knowing good

when it's right under your nose does not
diminish my abilities one darn bit.

Are you finished?

No.

I don't like you, Todd.

Then I guess you don't want your job
back.

Now are you like we're talking?

So you got your job back.

Now we all have our fantasies.

Dad would say this is one hell of a
party.

I gotta hand it to him.

I've been doing a lot of thinking, Ray.

And we gotta hand Dad a lot more than
that.

And it's about time we start.

When was the last time you told Dad you
loved him?

I don't know.

But he doesn't exactly make himself
lovable anymore, does he?

Have we?

We thought you were a movie star. You
look wonderful, Mother.

I have to tell you something.

Perhaps we should go someplace less
crowded.

No, no.

No, I think we all belong here at Dan's
party.

It was what he wanted.

Mother, what's happened?

It was his heart.

It finally just stopped.

He wanted you both to know how proud he
was of you and how much he loved you.

In fact, those were his very last words.

Oh, my God.

We had something very special that we
wanted to tell him.

Oh, Daddy.

That you loved him.

Oh, he knew that.

Your mother explained it all so
beautifully to him.

He understood at last that what he gave
each of you had a value all the money in

the world couldn't buy.

He asked a special favor of me that I
read this to you because he said

it caught the essence of his life.

And so it should, perhaps, since his own
son wrote it.

A foolish man found the rainbow's end

and stood with his feet in gold but cast
his eyes on the gleaming light that

soared up to heaven's fold.

Oh, that earth was sweet and warm with
life.

Its delights were never far.

But the man who stood with his feet in
gold

could see only the spectrum star.

Then the rainbow vanished as rainbows
do.

And the gleaming light turned cold.

So the lucky man dropped to his knees
and

dipped his heart.

Mr. Rourke, we can't thank you enough.

Yeah, and we all got exactly what we
came for. Ladies, it has been a

but I'm afraid all of your fantasies
were a bit of a sham.

Oh, yes.

You all had those very qualities that
you came searching for long before we

I'm afraid the error you made was in
letting other people judge them for you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Rourke.

You're very welcome.

Thank you. Miss Landers, Mr. Carney left
this for you.

He was a most unhappy man.

Miss Leonard, now that you have opened
your heart again, you'll be free to love

when the time is right. And I hope that
will be very soon.

Thank you.

I am so sorry if it had to be such a
sight.

It was what Dan wanted.

And he did find what he'd lost for so
long.

The knowledge of his own value.

Especially for that.

We're grateful.

What greater gift hath man than that he
is loved and loves?

It's pretty good, Lawrence.

Do you write poetry?

Not on this island.

Come back one day. all of you.

And I promise to make your most
cherished fantasy come true.
