Good morning, Mr. Rock.

Good morning, Lawrence.

Smiles, everyone.

Smiles.

So, that man.

Something about him reminds me of the man in your Picasso painting.

That's because Mr. Nikos Karabatos is that man.

Karabatos? The shipping tycoon? Yes.

I am impressed.

But what would a man worth billions want for the fantasy?

Surely not more billions.

As a matter of fact, quite the opposite is true.

Are you saying he wants to give his money away?

If certain conditions can be met, yes.

Mr. Carabato's fantasy is to find those people who desperately need help so that

he can use his vast wealth and influence to change their lives for the better.

Ah, now, sir, that's something I like to see.

A typical happy family. Really?

Look again.

Oh, I see what you mean.

There seems to be something missing, like a husband and father.

Unfortunately, Lawrence, the single -parent family is most typical in

society. Mrs. Ashley is divorced and has the sole responsibility of caring for

her daughter Jane and her son Michael.

I'll bet she has her hands full with those two.

For the first time since they were born, the welfare of her children is not

foremost in Mrs. Ashley's mind.

Her fantasy is to become what she has never been before.

And what is that, sir?

A swinger.

A swinger.

Well, sir, I suppose that won't tax your awesome capabilities.

No. No, it won't.

Not if Mrs. Ashley is prepared to sacrifice her most precious possession.

Her children.

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

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Garbage, Rourke.

Garbage. You may consider Pablo's portrait of me great art, but I think it

world -class garbage.

I am sorry I donated it to your collection. Look at the joke he is

makes me look like a skirt -chasing legend.

Oh, come, come now, Mr. Carabatos.

Since you are famous for the women you pursue and feared for your business

tactics, would you have a great artist's life?

If I may, sir?

In my opinion, that portrait is a remarkably fine example of Picasso's

Cubist period.

Lawrence talks about Cubism. I am talking about Pablo laughing at me from

the grave. But, as it turns out, I will have the last laugh.

My doctors tell me I will be meeting up with Pablo again very soon.

Oh? And whether it's in heaven or in hell, when I do...

I'm going to punch that little joker right in his Spanish nose.

Does this mean your doctors have given up hope?

Well, you know how doctors are. They never make the death sentence

They tell you things such as, uh, don't make any plans for next year.

A year?

Is that all they give you?

Maybe less, unless I observe my diet.

I've cut down to six.

Shots of ooze all day.

It seems to me, sir, that if you wish to help others by giving away your money,

wouldn't donating it to charity be less taxing on your health? I am already

supporting all the worthy and phony charities around. No, just signing

won't cut it. I want to be involved, but I must remain in the background,

understood? Then you still insist on keeping your identity a secret.

I'm not opposed to hogging all the credit I can get, but the name of

might make it difficult.

to wade through the fakes and frauds in order to discover someone who is truly

deserving of help.

Yes. Which brings us to your request for a talented young candidate for the job

of, how did you put it, of being your front man in this enterprise.

Have you found one?

Yes, I believe I have.

And when you meet him, I think you're in for a surprise.

I'll take you to him in exactly 30 minutes.

All right?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I think you understand my problem, Mr. Roar. Well, I'm certainly trying, Mrs.

Ashley. The closest I've come to a man in the last year is standing in the

checkout line at the supermarket.

Mr. Roar, think about it.

You've no idea how difficult it is to raise kids with absolutely no help.

I think I know what you mean.

But what exactly do you expect to happen this weekend?

Mr. Rourke, I would just love to have two days to do nothing but

savor the heady aroma of aftershave lotion.

I want to be surrounded by men.

I want to have a relationship.

At least in the physical sense.

Ah, yes.

Well, that's simple enough.

All you need is a qualified nursemaid to keep the children out of your way while

you pursue your, um, your fantasy.

That's about it.

Well, Lawrence has an excellent rapport with the members of the younger

generation. And I know he'd be more than happy to entertain Jane and Michael

during the weekend.

Ah, that's great.

When do I start?

Oh, as soon as you want.

Meet me at the swimming pool and your fantasy will begin.

That's fine.

Charming. Delightful. I knew you would approve.

Okay, Rourke, I'm a dying man. Dying for the little lady over there at the

moment, so don't waste any more of my time. Where is this paragon you have

for me?

If you can tear your eyes away from that little lady, it's the young man with

her, Mr. Edward Random. I believe you knew his father.

Conrad Random's son? Come on, Rourke. I ruined his old man in a business deal.

The kid hates me for it. You expect me to offer him this job?

You wanted someone who is intelligent, has breeding, and can be a fighter for a

good cause. And I believe Mr. Random qualifies in every particular.

Lawrence?

Touching on just the highlights.

Mr. Edward Random achieved very high marks before being forced to drop out of

Yale University in his third year.

He then joined the Marine Corps, served for three years, then signed on as an

ordinary seaman with a Dutch shipping company, rose to the rank of first

engineer, then was thrown overboard after a dispute with the captain over a

woman named Lola.

Sounds promising.

Hi, Eddie.

Good to see you again.

I compliment you on your charming companion.

Very pretty girl.

Rourke, get this bum away from me.

Just listen to the boy. Takes after his old man.

Both losers.

Mr. Random, if you don't mind, I'd like to discuss your overdue hotel bill.

Oh, yes.

Could we talk about that later? No, Mr. Random, now, if you don't mind.

Will you excuse us?

Well, my dear.

Have you ever been to Monte Carlo?

Yes, I was there twice. I wish I'd been there with you.

Permission to come aboard, Captain?

Granted. Thank you.

Mr. MacGordon?

This is Mr. Edward Random, the young man I was telling you about.

Oh, let me get this straight, Mr. Rourke. You want me to pay off my

hotel bill? You're grossly overdue, piddling hotel bill, Mr. Random. Yes,

you want me to pay it off by getting this boat back in shape so it can sail

again?

Why? What is so important about this wreck?

What is so important is that a lot of people on the outer islands depend on

ship, mister.

And this is Mr. Gordon's daughter, Angie, Mr. Edward Random. Well, Mr.

you can tell Eddie.

The people are depending on us for their food and their mail and their medical

supplies. And if the Swift isn't sailing again soon, those people are going to

be in a lot of trouble.

I think you've said it all rather eloquently, Miss Gordon.

And now that you've been giving your reasons, Mr. Random, I'll leave you to

work. Will you excuse me?

Why don't you go with Rourke? We don't need you.

Dad, no!

Mr. Rourke says that Eddie's an expert with marine engines. He stays.

You do whatever you want to. I'm not going to have any part of it.

Hey, Eddie, I'm really sorry.

My mother died about three months ago, and, well, Dad hasn't been the same

since.

That's heavy, huh?

Yeah.

All right, mates.

I've got something to say.

Now, this island is so beautiful.

It doesn't really matter who you see it with, does it?

Why not?

We're going to see it with you, just like you promised, right?

Well, uh... There's been a slight complication. What's a complication?

Complication, Jane.

It means like when we can't go to the zoo because it's raining.

It never rains here.

I know.

But, well... You see, I... I've got something personal to do.

You could do it with Uncle Ralph.

No, that's not what I mean, Jane.

Besides, Uncle Ralph is my brother.

So what?

So she doesn't mean men with big, comfortable laps.

She means men with perfect tans and white teeth and broad shoulders and

chests. A grown -up, a big man.

A big man?

Yeah, in a manner of speaking, that just about covers it.

That'll help you find some man, Mommy.

Aw, thanks, Jane.

But I want you guys to have a wonderful time on this vacation, and I don't want

you to waste one minute worrying about me.

So, guess what?

What?

Well, do you remember that nice man, Lawrence, who met the plane with Mr.

Rourke?

Well, he's going to be taking care of you. Isn't that great?

Sure. Terrific.

Oh, I knew you'd understand.

Well, look, I've got to go meet Mr. Roar.

I want you guys to wait right here for Lawrence. He'll be here to pick you up

just a minute.

What about my Rippick?

Your what?

My space with a Rippick.

Remember you said I could have one if I didn't throw up on the plane?

Right. I'll pick one up at the gift shop.

All right, you guys. I'll see you later.

Have fun.

That's an order, mate.

You're wasting your time, you know.

Even if you get the engine fixed, I ain't never gonna take it to sea again.

Not that I care that much, old man, but why?

Because she's a murderer.

She killed my wife.

Don't you ever knock.

The engine in this tub is shot, Angie. You're going to have to replace

practically every part. That means coming up with close to $20 ,000.

You can forget it. Can't you see I'm trying to take a bath? Of course I can

that. Well? Well, what?

Well... You want me to scrub your back. No, I don't want you to scrub my back.

Give me the washcloth. Where's the washcloth?

Eddie! What?

Give me my washcloth. You want me to use the sponge? I'll use the sponge. No,

no, the sponge. I want you to get out of here. Then why don't you say so? I just

did. But you don't mean it.

You really think you're something special, don't you? That didn't take

you to find out.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody here?

Hello?

Just one minute.

I'll go away.

What can I do for you? I got a truckload of diesel parts waiting for you.

Risers, fuel pumps, pistons, you name it.

Sign here.

What are you talking about?

We didn't order any parts.

It's already been paid for by Random Services Incorporated. All you gotta do

sign. Random Services?

That's you.

Eddie, did you have something to do with this? Random Services was the company

my father owned until ten years ago, when he was forced out and it was bought

a man named Carabatos.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you. Thanks a lot.

Oh, Mr. Roark, it's been so long, I'd almost forgotten what it was like to

watch the movies.

Did you arrange all of this just for me?

Let's call it a most convenient coincidence.

No, actually, most of the men are here to play in the Martin Avery Tennis

Exhibition. Martin Avery, sure.

He's the tennis pro who owns the line of sportswear, right?

Indeed. Do you know him?

Not exactly.

My agency almost landed his account a couple of years ago. Oh, I see.

Well, Mrs. Ashley, you have the next 48 hours to make up for all those wasted

years.

As they say, good hunting.

Thanks, Mr. Brock. Well, I'd better be going.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you hurt?

Well, if I am, I love it.

I feel so stupid.

Well, you don't feel stupid to me.

Eddie, the way we slipped past that guard at the door, we weren't invited.

We crashed this party. That's right.

Wait here.

Eddie, how good of you to come. I believe you already know the lady.

Oh, Connie.

Second best this time is definitely a bummer.

At least I don't have to pay for my own drink.

Later? Of course.

If you're going to work for me, Eddie, you must never be impolite to my ladies.

It is unseemly.

Work for you?

Is that what this thing with the boat is all about?

Well, it's a kind of a test for you to show me that you can get off your butt

and be someone I can depend on. Someone who finishes what he starts.

You show me you can do that and improve your manners, eh?

And I may offer you the job of a lifetime.

Well, whatever it is, Carabatos, you can stick it in your ear.

Hell's the matter with you, Eddie.

Stop acting like a punk. You know, you're dumb just like your father.

He wouldn't listen to me either when I told him he was running his company into

the ground.

So I pushed him out, or he would have taken all his partners down with him.

I don't know. I think maybe Rourke picked the wrong man.

What I really needed was somebody to help me help people in trouble, like the

Gordons. You see, Rourke had this idea that you might work out as my assistant.

That I would set you up to live in the style you would be living in if your

father still had his company.

A millionaire playboy who acted as my front man. My boy, you would go all over

the world like a king.

And when you had to, you would take on a cover so you could get close to the

people who need our help, huh?

Am I wrong?

The job of a lifetime?

You know, my dad would have loved this moment if he was alive.

The answer's the same.

Stick it.

It went well with Mr. Random?

A disaster.

You seem quite pleased about it.

He reminds me slightly of myself when I was his age.

Hot -headed, but gutsy.

I think he's a viable candidate.

Then the problem remains, doesn't it? I mean, how to convince him to take the

job. That's your problem.

It's your choice.

There, Jane.

Do you think you can handle that? No problem.

Something wrong with your Sunday, Michael?

Mom, why is it so important all of a sudden for my mom to start meeting guys?

Well, you see, Michael, there comes a time in a woman's life when she needs

company of... of another person.

What do you think we are?

Yes, well, that's not quite what I meant.

You see, it's, uh...

Let me put it to you this way.

Yes.

You see, sometimes a woman needs a man with his special ability to care

for her needs.

I take care of my mom.

Of course you do, absolutely. But sometimes grown -ups like to do things

together.

Grown -up things.

A big man.

She's going to find a guy and go on a date with him. And Jane and I are going

have a baby brother.

You'll pardon me, Michael, but I think I can absolutely guarantee you there is

one thing your mother does not want.

It doesn't matter.

She doesn't want us anymore.

Michael.

Hello, mister.

Why, hello.

And who are you?

Jane Ashley.

Would you like to come with me to find my mommy?

Why, you poor lost little lady.

Of course. Come on.

Marine Operator.

Yes, patch me through to the Falcon, please. Call letter 7551, Charlie,

X -ray, Lima.

Thank you.

Got sparkles.

It's like there's a million explosions going on inside.

Are you talking about the ring or did I review it last night?

I was talking about the ring.

Looks like a pretty expensive rock for a fellow who can't afford to pay his

hotel bill.

Mm -hmm.

It was the last thing of any value my dad gave me before he died.

Hello?

Phil?

It's Eddie.

Yeah, um, listen, it doesn't look like this job here is going to work out.

That's affirmative.

Okay. If you're still filling a three, I'll be there.

Right. Bye.

Suddenly I hate this Carabatos as much as you do.

And I've never even met him.

Why does he have to come between us like this?

He doesn't have to, babe.

You can come with me.

The Falcon's a big charter yacht. I know they can use another hand.

Guatemala doesn't exactly sound like my cup of tea.

Guatemala is just the first stop.

After that, we ship out to the South Pacific, Tahiti, Bora Bora.

It's a fun world out there, Angie. Don't you want to see some of it?

I'd love to.

Dreamt about doing that all my life.

Some of us have responsibilities, Eddie.

We can't just pick up and take off whenever we want to the way you do.

Those people out on the outer islands, I've known them since I was five.

I grew up with them.

Now they're running out of supplies, and they don't even know we're not coming.

The Swift isn't the only boat around. There's lots of others that can haul

cargo. The Swift is shallow draft, and it can get in and out over the reefs.

The others won't risk damaging your keels.

Look, even if I did stick around to fix her, it wouldn't make any difference.

Mel refuses to sail her.

He told you that? He said he blames her for the death of your mother.

I mean, come on, he called it a murderer.

Oh, Eddie.

You gotta understand where he's coming from.

When we made that last trip to the North Island, Mother wasn't feeling very

well.

When we were there, she just kept getting worse, so... We started back.

And halfway back, the engines on the Swift quit.

The sea was dead calm.

So we drifted for about two days before the Coast Guard finally found us.

By that time, my mother was dead.

So he blames the boat.

Well, that's ridiculous.

He could just as easily blame the sea.

He could blame God.

I know that.

I don't care if he's right or if he's wrong or if he's just being emotional. I

don't care.

Right now he hurts and he needs me.

I can't leave him. Don't you see that?

Maybe once we get the swift sailing again, things will get back to normal.

I don't know.

Already got the part.

It's only going to take you a couple of days.

What do you say you try it, huh?

Is that for me?

No.

Now, Elaine, you haven't told me too much about yourself.

What's there to tell?

Here we are, and so far it's been wonderful.

Yes, it has.

Hasn't it?

You know, you're nice.

You're very nice.

And I want to know all about you.

Like what?

Well, like what kind of work you do, what sort of things you think about.

What do you do besides dance all night?

You see, you're a...

You're kind of aggressive.

And I like a woman like that.

Oh, good.

We've lost Jane.

What do you mean you've lost Jane? Who are these people?

I'm sorry, madam. One minute she was there, the next minute she was... Mommy,

found you a big man.

Mommy? Is he big enough?

Hey, I'm sorry. Look, I know this is all very confusing.

She said she was lost.

What's going on?

Very little.

Now, Mr. Hancock, if you'll allow me to show you back to your bungalow. We can't

thank you enough for all your help. Are you sure that's her mother? Oh, yes.

Mrs. Ashley, I shall return for Michael and Jane.

That should give you time to straighten everything out, as it were.

Look, I'm... Didn't you like Mr.

Hancock? Oh, yes, Jane, dear. I like him a lot. Well, I guess I'd better be

going.

Thanks for the drink, Elaine.

And good luck, Mr.

Hancock.

Thanks a lot, guys.

I hope you're satisfied.

Both of you.

You've ruined everything.

it, guys. What's going on?

Hey, who told you to do this? Eddie, can't you do something to stop them?

Eddie,

you keep finding more and more beautiful girls for me. Boy, you're really

terrific, you know that? Aren't you going to introduce me? If this is an

of the humanitarianism you've been telling me about, I'll take a tell of

hun. Eddie, my boy, don't confuse my desire to help someone with my need to

business with you.

drawl. This is just a sample of my power. What is that supposed to mean? He

giveth and he taketh away?

Don't blaspheme. You want to be a hero for the girl? Okay, but not with my

unless you work for me.

Doesn't make any difference to you, does it?

Forcing some mogul to sell you a fleet of tankers or trying to squeeze a guy

like me into your back pocket. No matter what you want, you always muscle your

way through. Just using a little leverage.

After all, it's for a good cause, isn't it?

For once, I agree with you, Carabatos. It is for a good cause.

And for that reason, I'm going to stay and fix this boat.

But I'm going to do it without your help. I'm going to do it on my own.

How's a kid who's broke like you going to pay for all these parts?

This ring is going to pay for it.

going to come busting in on us like that.

I thought we were being invaded by the Mormon tabernacle choir.

Well, I hope you'll let me make it up to you.

Oh, I insist upon it. Only next time it'll be in my bungalow.

All for you, Mr. Henry.

Oh, thank you.

Hello.

Yeah, what's up?

Wonderful. No, no, no.

Don't worry about that. No, I've already found the person I want.

Elaine.

How'd you like to work for me?

What? Well, Avery Enterprises. My marketing director just resigned.

Sure.

You're Martin Avery.

I didn't realize.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

You see, after our little fiasco, I took the liberty of checking you out with

Mr. Rourke, and, well, I know your work.

Are you serious?

Serious enough to offer you twice what you're getting now.

You interested?

When do I start?

You just did.

One more thing.

Name it.

The hours.

A kind of...

and that the travel is extensive.

Now, I suggest, why not put the children in a good boarding school? Or maybe

with a relative they can live with.

Is that going to be a problem?

Oh, no.

No, they're great kids.

Buddy, I'm not a pawnbroker.

I'm in marine supplies.

Take this ring somewhere and sell it.

Come back with the cash. Look it.

It was my father's and I want it back.

As soon as the Swift is sailing again and the Gordon's taken enough money to

cover my loan, I'll redeem it and pay you 20 % interest.

Okay, to deal.

Here's your receipt.

Thank you. And I'll be back for that ring.

Good luck.

Mr. Roark. Lawrence.

See this?

A paid receipt. You know what it's for?

You've paid us your hotel bill. Very honorable and surprising.

I'll call and have your luggage released.

It's for diesel parts for the Swift.

And Karabatos had nothing to do with it. I've beaten him.

Oh, and don't worry about the hotel bill. It may go against my grain, but

take care of that one, too.

Seems to me that young man may be overreaching himself a bit, if he thinks

can best a man like Nikros Karabatos.

Too bad this turns out to be a contest between them, when the real winner

be the people on the island who desperately need their supplies.

Yes, sir.

And I'm afraid they won't be receiving any supplies.

Unless Mr. Gordon's problem can be resolved first.

Is that wrong?

I haven't grabbed a ring in a long time.

Elaine.

You have no idea how much I want you. Oh, I think I do.

I think this calls for a champagne celebration in my bungalow.

Martin, there's something I have to do first.

The children, right?

I'm a little worried. I've never left them alone for so long.

Well, they're not alone.

They're with Lawrence.

I know, but I'd better check on them.

Elaine.

Now, you have been considering my suggestion, right?

Now, it wouldn't be fair to expect them to adjust to all the new demands any

time. I know what you say is true, but... Oh, they're so young.

Darling, it'll only be for a little while until you become established.

me, they're going to be much happier in a more stable environment with their

peers. You're right.

Probably.

I am right.

Okay, now you go do your thing, and I'll wait for you in my bungalow.

I'll be back in a minute.

All

right.

Hit it.

Dad?

Okay, to shove off anytime you want.

This is great.

You know what we need for the radio now? Radio parts.

Okay. Let's go. Come on, let's go do it.

Mr. Gordon, if you throw that torch onto the boat, it will go down, of course.

But that will certainly not bring back your wife.

Mr.

Gordon, please put it down.

No.

If her engine had to quit on me that day, Mary would still be alive. That

boat killed her.

It's time to be honest with yourself, Mr. Gordon.

And stop hiding from reality by blaming this boat.

You knew your wife was dying even before you left for the islands.

That's not true.

Mary wanted to go.

She didn't want to be left behind. She made me take her.

Yes.

Yes.

Because she also knew she was going to die. And she wanted to spend her last

hours with the man she loved.

There was nothing you or any doctor could have done to save her, Mr. Gordon.

But there are people in the islands you can save.

People your wife loved.

People who are waiting for you.

Oh, Daddy.

Everything's going to be all right, Angie.

Everything's going to be all right.

Come on.

I love you.

It's going to be okay.

Well, Eddie, you pass your first test modestly, but you're going to have to

improve your technique in the future.

I want this operation to have style and class.

I'm going to teach you the meaning of those two words, my boy. I don't know

to get this through to you, but I'm not your boy.

I did this on my own, with my own money.

Meaning that you paid for it with this expensive -looking piece of glass, huh?

I bought the real diamond from your dad years ago for a lot more than it was

worth. When he was broke, I needed help. Regardless of what you think, your

father and I understood each other.

You won't leave me anything, will you?

Eddie, if seeing me lying dead is some kind of victory for you, you're going to

have it sooner than you imagine.

So, waste my money, but don't waste my time. With your youth and my power, we

can make history.

Think it over.

What can I do, Mr. Roark?

A lot worse, I assure you, Eddie.

As they say, if you can't fight them...

Join them.

Well, I guess someone's got to keep an eye on them.

Hey, Calabatos!

Wait up!

We're just having a bit of a romp before bedtime.

Oh, thank you, Lauren.

Well, how about a hug?

Mike?

Don't you have a hug for your old mom?

Still want to be her mom?

Of course I want to be your mom.

Even if I just... Even if what?

You'll never guess what happened.

I have got a great new job, and I'm going to be making lots of money.

The only thing is, you'll probably have to stay with your Uncle Ralph for just a

while. Where will you be?

I'll be working.

Part of the job is I'll be traveling to a lot of different cities, and so I'll

be... We'll take care of you.

I'll get by.

Oh, it won't be easy because you've really spoiled me, but I'll manage.

We'll all manage.

Oh, Mike.

It's only going to be for a while.

I don't want to stay with Uncle Ralph.

Look, I am still the mother here, and I make the decisions.

Now, this is a great opportunity for me, and I'm not going to let it pass me by.

Look, I know what's best.

What took you so long? Oh, don't talk, please. Just hold me.

What's the matter?

All of a sudden, I feel so lonely.

You told the children, right?

It was the toughest thing I've ever had to do.

Yeah, darling, but...

I mean, you'll all get used to the idea. I mean, the hard part is behind you

now.

I wish I could believe that.

I forgot to give them their presents.

You can give them their presents.

For breakfast, my darling.

No, they deserve them now.

And they deserve me now, too.

Oh, Martin.

I want someone to love me.

I want someone to love all of me.

And that includes my children.

I see.

Well, that's life, I guess.

That's too bad, because I think we could have been quite a good team.

Oh, well, I didn't hire you for your looks anyway.

The job is still yours.

I guess we'll just have to wait for Jane and Michael to grow up.

And that's going to take some time, ain't it?

Yep.

I'm really sorry.

No, you're not.

But that's all right.

I understand.

Thanks, Martin.

Are you sure you won't change your mind and come along, my dear?

That's very, very tempting, Mr. Carabato.

But for now, I must stay with my father.

Bless you. Thank you.

Will I see you soon?

Real soon, Angie.

Good.

Bye -bye.

Listen, if you want me to work for you, you're going to have to stay away from

my women, understand?

It's one thing to drive a hard bargain, Eddie, but when you add impossible

conditions... Well, Mr. Carabato, your fantasy to help other people is starting

out very well indeed.

Yes, and I think the credit for this good beginning must go to Mr. Roark and

you. Thank you both very much.

And you, Mr. Random, I trust having Mr.

Carabato's vast wealth at your disposal isn't going to put too much of a crimp

in your style.

Well, I'll give it a year or so, until I make enough money of my own.

When I do, I'll use it to bury you.

I'd like to see you try, my boy.

Bye, Lauren.

Michael! Jane!

Goodbye,

Lauren.

We'll miss you, but we're sure glad to have our mom back.

There is no substitute for the real thing, is there, huh?

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Mr. Roy. Goodbye, sweetheart.

Bye.

Well, Mrs. Ashley, how did it feel to be a swinger?

I guess I'll never really know.

However, if the real thing should come along.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Roy. You're very welcome, Mrs. Ashley.

Lauren. Goodbye, ma 'am.

Well, she didn't exactly get her fantasy after all, did she, sir?

No, Lawrence, but she did receive something much more important.

The knowledge that a woman's search for fulfillment often leads her to her own

doorstep.
