Original subtitles

Bran, what was I supposed to do?

Carl cornered me.

I know the way Clare feels about me.

He's going to make a fool of himself.

Ah, you sound pretty confident, bro.

I just hope for your sake she doesn't decide

she wants to be a princess.

It's not going to happen.

I'm just giving him enough rope to hang himself.

Besides, he was a gentleman to me.

I've got to be a gentleman to him?

Mm, I don't know.

Punch in the face sounds like a better idea.

Brandon, I'm not punching him in the face.

- Hey, guys. - Hey.

You gotta come down here and see this.

Every Greek from Santa Monica to La Jolla

just showed up in the lobby. It's a madhouse.

Yeah?

Think they brought me presents?

Only Greeks, huh?

No Italians?

No Turks?

STEVE: Lots of fallopians.

Fallopians?

[theme music]

[unintelligible chanting]

How's everybody doing tonight?

Welcome to Stevestock.

[cheering]

[camera shutter]

And now my, huh, my birthday present to you guys.

The Goo Goo Dolls!

[cheering]

[camera shutter]

How y'all doin?

Good to see you.

We've never played a birthday party before.

At least not intentionally.

But what the hell? a party is a party.

[cheering]

[GOO GOO DOLLS, "LONG WAY DOWN (REMIX)"]

(SINGING) Oh, here you are

There's nothing left to say

You're not supposed to be that way

Did they push you out?

Did they throw you away?

Touch me now, and I don't care

When you take me, I'm not there

Almost human, but I'll never be the same

Long way down

I don't think I'll make it on my own

Long way down

I don't want to live in here

Long way down

I don't think I'll make it on my own

I never put you down

I never pushed you away

You're not supposed to be that way

And anything you want

There's nothing I could say

Is there anything to feel?

Is it pain that makes you real?

Cut me off before it kills me

Long way down

I don't think I'll make it on my own

Long way down

I don't want to live in here alone

Long way down

I don't think I'll make it on my own

OK, it's all set.

You got the money?

Yeah, I got the money right here.

Dock 32.

The Orinoco Queen.

At 5:30, you just be there.

Somebody will show up and take you aboard.

Who?

Just be there.

And don't ask any questions.

He won't speak English.

Come on.

Good luck.

[suspenseful music]

[music playing]

(SINGING) Hey, don't you realize I'm right--

Oh, here comes your G-man.

Yeah, he does kind of stand out, doesn't he?

Yeah.

Hi, uh, how's it going?

I'm making progress.

Will you be on board all evening, Ms. Malone?

- Yeah, that's the plan. - Good.

I may have something later.

OK, thank you.

He means what he says and says what he means, huh?

Yes.

Very refreshing, isn't it?

Um, hey, I'll be right back.

I gotta go back to the room.

What's going on?

Nothing.

I just need to make a phone call.

I'll be right back.

(SINGING) I wanna climb inside--

Well, I guess I'd better go with her, huh?

Ladies.

(SINGING) Let all your dreams come true

Hey, listen, do you mind if I make this call in private?

Yeah, sure.

What's going on?

Nothing.

The, um, people in Washington are just

pressuring me for an answer.

That's all.

But I thought you made your mind up already?

I did.

[bell dinging]

Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

Hi.

Bye, bye.

So, you having a good time?

Yeah, yeah. Sure.

Sure.

Are you going to come back to the party?

Nah, I don't know.

Brandon, what's wrong?

Nothing.

Hey, this is your old friend Andrea Zuckerman, remember?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I remember.

So, what's wrong?

Eh, what can I say?

Women.

Oh, I see.

You can't live with them--

And I can't live with them.

Uh-huh.

Brandon, you'll figure it out.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

It's good to see you.

You too.

I love you.

Let's go back to the party.

OK.

[music playing] Look, it's on your face

Oh, most believe that things will never change

May I cut in?

Sure, Carl.

Is that all right with you, Steve?

Yeah.

(SINGING) What will come take it all away?

Hi.

You think our mothers might have danced in this ballroom?

Maybe but who were they dancing with?

You know what they say, things happen on board a ship.

Hey, come on.

We're talking about our moms here.

Oh, they're human too.

Sure, there are a lot of eligible bachelors on board.

Yeah, I guess.

Clare.

Yeah?

I've fallen in love with you.

And I know that you and Steve are together

but that's the way I feel.

Listen, I talked to Steve about this.

You talked to Steve about this?

Yes, and as an agreement between gentlemen,

we decided that it's up to you.

Oh, really?

So, um, Steve traded me so he could

stay friends with the prince?

No, no, of course, not.

I mean, I just want you to understand that it's

all right with Steve that you--

This is all right with Steve?

Well--

Excuse me.

Clare!

Clare!

Get out here!

Get out here now!

How could you do this to me?

I thought you cared.

I thought we had something real here.

We do.

Look, I just wanted to be fair.

The guy wanted a chance.

How could I blame him?

Just go tell him you're not interested.

That's not the point, OK?

You were willing to let me go.

I don't want to be with you if you're so willing to let me go.

Clare, what was I supposed to do?

Punch out a prince?

Well, it's better than trading me for a week

in the French Riviera.

No, no, that's not what happened.

Is everything OK here?

It will be after I do this.

I'm sorry, Carl.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You just told me you wanted me to do that.

No, I didn't.

God, how could you be so stupid?

Ah, I think it's broken.

Oh, it's broken.

You broke his nose.

You happy?

Come on, we'll find a doctor.

You, don't even talk to me, OK?

Hey.

What's going on?

Coming down or what?

I needed, a chance to collect my thoughts.

You took the job, didn't you?

Brandon, I--

You took the job?

I'm sorry, OK?

I applied for this before I even met you.

There were over 5,000 applicants.

I never dreamed that this would happen.

Great.

That makes me feel a lot better.

Please, I can't turn this down.

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to work

for the presidential campaign.

It's just too important.

And what was my job in Boston?

I know.

You have every right to be angry.

You turned down your job for our summer

together but this could mean really big things for the both

of us if you just have a little faith.

Faith?

That's funny you talking about faith.

Have a nice night.

[somber music]

[cheering]

All right. Thanks a lot.

We're going to take a little break.

Happy birthday, Steve.

You know what?

I'm going to go see how John's doing.

Oh, well, if you see Steve, tell him to get back in here.

He's missing his whole party.

OK.

Hi.

I've been looking for you, And-rea.

Ah-ndrea

Right.

David, Donna, this girl is really great.

Think about offering her a job.

Well, thank you, but I--

I already have a job.

Really?

What do you do that's fantastic?

I'm a mom, and I have a beautiful two-year-old daughter.

That's great.

Yes, I also have a wonderful husband who is on the tenure

track for a full professorship at the Yale Law School,

and I'm hoping to start medical school

at Yale in the fall of '97.

Really?

Really.

But hey, if you have something more interesting to offer

me, by all means, go ahead.

Uh, so you got any pictures of your kid?

Yes.

Yeah, I do. Mm-hmm.

Why don't you show me some while walking on the deck?

Uh, that guy doesn't catch on too quickly, does he?

Hey, he sure is persistent.

I think it's a percentage thing.

And what about you?

Want to take a walk on the deck?

Uh, I don't know.

It's kind of romantic.

Yeah, well, I wasn't thinking about talking business.

How many glasses of champagne have you had?

Enough.

You want to walk?

All righty.

Well, let's go.

Man, I am out of here.

Brother, I am right behind you.

I can't believe what Susan did to you.

And Clare, what is with our women?

It's unbelievable.

I need a nightcap.

Where's the most disgusting place we can go?

Well, there's a seaport.

You know what?

Muntz told me that there's a peeler bar in San Pedro.

Peeler bar?

Nice nighty.

[coughs] What?

What is so funny?

You.

You make me laugh.

Why?

Because I have champagne coming out my nose?

- Yeah. - Thought that was funny?

That was so funny.

Come on, do it again.

Mm.

No way.

You know what I was just thinking?

What?

I was thinking about kissing you.

You were?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, that is funny.

Why?

Why is that funny?

Because I was just thinking about kissing you, too.

- Oh. - Why?

You think we should?

Mm.

Well, probably not.

No, no.

Well, I gotta admit, I am enjoying the thought of it.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, David.

You know what I am thinking about right now?

What?

Pouring this glass of champagne all over your face.

Oh, that's very funny, but you wouldn't do that.

Mm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, I would.

[laughs]

[music playing]

You must really hate me.

Oh, I hate you so much.

Ah.

[laughs]

OK.

Take these.

Strongest the doctor could do without a prescription.

Thanks.

OK.

Have you heard from Steve yet?

No.

He's disappeared.

Probably off somewhere diluting his sorrow.

Think he's coming back?

I don't care.

I don't care what he does anymore.

Sure about that

I'm not sure about anything right now.

Don't press me, OK?

OK.

Um, did you throw this-- this whole party for Steve

so you could get to me?

No.

You kind of just snuck up on me when I wasn't looking.

I couldn't help it.

There's something I want to show you in a top drawer over there.

Go ahead and open it.

Oh my God.

[soft music]

I've never seen this before.

The wonders of overnight delivery.

I'd like you to have it.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Clare, I want you to know that my feelings for you are real.

There's a connection between us, Clare.

You can't just say that.

You can't just snap your fingers and make something happen,

you know?

I could make you happy.

I am happy.

OK, but just do something for me?

What?

Think about it.

Think about us.

Think about what your mom said, that we'd be married someday.

She told me that, too.

So can it be that wrong?

I gotta go, OK?

Clare.

I'll talk to you about this in the morning, OK?

Night.

Hey, Val.

Hey.

Where's Joan?

She's still feeling under the weather.

I told her I'd take her back home,

but she insisted I stay to have a good time.

Listen, uh, Jonesy's man came up with something.

He thinks Colin bought his way onto a freighter that takes off

in the morning in San Pedro.

They're going to try and pick him up when he boards.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

I really blew it, B.

Ah, Clare will forgive you, man.

She'll never forgive me.

She'll never trust me.

Why should she?

Smartest girl I'll ever have.

Oh, smart girls are dangerous, hey.

Dangerous, huh?

Yeah, like double coupon night in Amsterdam, you know?

Bartender!

I need some anesthesia.

A couple of beers, man.

Two of them.

So what are you going to do this summer?

I don't know.

Maybe I'll take that trip after all.

You want to come with me?

Why not?

Nothing else going on.

You can say that again.

Why not?

Nothing else going on.

Who are you, Jackie Mason all of a sudden?

Hey, I've never seen an ant run so fast.

[loud burping]

I didn't know the Unabomber had blonde hair.

Excuse me, boys?

Your whining is really starting to depress me.

I wish you'd please can it.

Why don't you mind your own business, OK?

Excuse me?

I come in here every night, all right?

You're going to take my stool, and then you're going to tell

me to mind my own business.

What do you mean you're a stool?

You've been sitting over there since I got here.

That's my stool, too.

- Just ignore him, Steve. - Yeah.

Mm.

Now you're going to ignore me.

You guys think you're better than me, don't you?

I don't.

You do.

I don't.

Yes, you do.

- Maybe a little. - See?

I told you.

Steve, just say you're sorry and let's

get on with our evening. We got a lot of drinking.

I'm sorry.

No, it's too late for that.

You already hurt my feelings.

Well, cry me a river, OK, pal.

You're really asking for it.

Fix my butt, huh, boy?

Come on, man.

I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back.

Boy, I can take you out with one lung.

I don't know whether to pick you up and thank the Academy

or kick your butt myself.

Steve, Steve.

You know what really makes me sick?

What? maybe your friends seeing you in girls clothes?

Yeah, funny.

Very funny.

No, seeing a big guy like you picking on someone half

your size.

[grunts]

Come on, buddy.

Come on.

[groaning]

Someone call the police.

Steve, Steve, Steve, I just saw a Colin.

[police sirens wailing]

So are you going to be able to make it to bed,

or you need me to undress you myself?

I'll be just fine.

Whoa.

So, you think Erik got lucky?

Hmm.

Depends on how many girls he hit on after Andrea.

How come you don't do that, David?

What?

Hit on lots of girls?

Yeah.

I don't know.

It's just not my style.

Mm.

That's good.

I like your style.

I always felt safe with you.

Even after that little fling I had?

No, not then.

But you're just human.

I understood.

It didn't change any of the things I like about you.

I'm glad.

I'm falling asleep.

Yeah, I better get going.

Good night, Donna.

Night, David.

All right.

[buzzer]

You two can go.

No one's pressing charges.

Sign the bag and just stay out of trouble, all right?

Yes, sir.

Thanks, officer.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Hey, we should find a phone and call Valerie.

Yeah, I'll save you the quarter.

Hey, Valerie.

What are you guys doing here?

We could ask you the same thing.

We had a little fight last night.

Yeah, but that's not important.

What is important is that we saw Colin.

Well, they're not too happy with me.

Tied up a lot of manpower, staking out that freighter

last night, and Colin never showed up.

What are you guys doing here?

They saw Colin.

Where?

A nearby peeler bar.

Did he see you?

Yeah.

Well, that could explain why he

didn't board ship this morning.

He got cold feet.

So what do we do now?

You mean, what do I do?

I check out every cheap motel near the docks.

Do me a favor. Take these two back to the boat.

No, we are going with you.

No, you're not.

I never should've brought

you here in the first place.

You heard the man.

Let's go.

Wait, you guys got in a bar fight?

Yeah, Steve got his butt kicked by some skinny little

drunk with only one ka-ka-lung.

[laughter]

Man, you-- you gotta help me out here.

There's got to be another boat.

There is.

Tonight.

Another 10k buys you another ticket.

Hey, there is no way you're ripping me off here.

Call the Better Business Bureau.

Either of you guys see Clare before you

left the ship last night?

Ah-ah.

What about Susan?

No, why'd you guys leave the party anyway?

We were drowning our sorrows.

Susan dumped Brandon.

Can we change the subject, please?

- Hey, stop the car. - What?

There's Colin!

[tires screeching]

Call the police!

[tense music]

Man!

All right, man.

You go down here.

I'm going to run back this way.

[clunking noise]

[screams]

You all right, Bran?

Yeah.

Hey, hey, there goes Colin!

Colin!

Give it up, man.

There's no place to go.

[police sirens ringing]

Have a nice life, Colin.

I'm sorry, Valerie.

No, you're not.

You guys showed me up.

You did a great job. - Thanks.

Anytime.

Well, without you, we never would have gotten close.

Didn't I bet you a dinner that we would get our man?

No, but I'll play along.

Of course, it's not even lunch yet.

Well, we can do lunch, too.

Yeah, I guess we could.

And you know, I still say something's wrong with him

if Jonesy sent him.

Actually, Jonesy told me to watch out for you.

Oh, he did, did he?

See you later.

Oh, by the way, Kel, thanks.

I'd like to say it was a pleasure, but it wasn't.

The feeling's mutual.

Well, now that that's all done,

it's time to get back to the real world.

Remember that?

What are you worried about, big man?

You told me Clare can't stand the guy.

We'll see.

[music playing]

You know, I'm just glad to see that this whole experience has

brought you and Valerie a little closer together.

Your arm feels good there, Brandon.

Keep it there.

So, Andrea, you really can't stick around, huh?

Oh, no, I wish I could.

I can't believe I'm not going to be able to say goodbye

to Kelly, Steve, or Brandon.

Well, we'll tell them you love them.

Oh, hey.

Andrea, where are you going?

You just got here.

Steve great party.

Too bad you missed most of it.

DONNA: Brandon, what happened to you?

You look like you've been through the wringer.

Well, we were playing cops and robbers.

Fortunately, our favorite fugitives back in the pokey.

Colin?

Finally.

Yep, Nat and Valerie are off the hook.

[horn honking]

Guys, I got to go.

I love you.

Take care.

Happy birthday.

- Say hello to Jesse. - Goodbye.

Bye.

Take care.

I love you.

Mwah!

All right, you guys, I'll be back next summer.

Email me. - I will.

- Email. - Send us pictures of the baby.

- Bye! - Bye!

I didn't even get to spend any time with her.

Yeah, neither did I.

Did anybody see Clare?

No.

How about Susan?

Yeah, I saw her up on the deck.

See you guys later.

He's having a rough time.

Yeah, aren't we all?

I'm not.

DAVID: Yeah, me neither.

Thought you'd be gone by now.

Couldn't leave without saying goodbye.

Well, that's big of you.

You're not even going to try to talk me out of it, are you?

You want me to?

Part of me, that is my heart breaking,

desperately doesn't want to leave you, Bran.

And what about the other part of you?

I know this must seem like a double standard to you.

You gave up your job for me, and now I won't

do the same thing for you.

Exactly.

It is so hard for a woman to get ahead in this world.

I have to do this.

If I don't, I am always going to wonder--

You know what, Keats, don't worry about it, OK?

If I don't vote for you for president,

you'll understand, right?

Can I call you when I get there?

Give you my number?

Nah.

I'm going to be on the road.

Forget about your trip.

Brandon, come with me to Washington.

There are so many opportunities for someone like you.

I don't think so.

You could-- you could stay with me.

They're putting me up.

I'll tell you what, if I--

if I drive through, I'll look you up.

OK, I guess.

Kiss me goodbye, at least?

Yeah.

Goodbye, Susan.

Good luck.

[somber music]

Excuse me, ma'am, have you made up that room yet today?

Not yet, but I'll be getting right to it.

That's OK.

It wasn't slept in.

Did you sleep OK?

I didn't sleep at all.

I must have walked every inch of the ship

thinking about things.

And what'd you come up with?

I love Steve.

I know he's not perfect, and he does stupid things

and makes me mad, but I want to be with him.

Hope you understand.

Well, that was succinct.

I don't--

I don't want this to affect, you know,

your friendship with Steve, OK?

It won't.

Even though he did punch knee into the nose,

Steve's a good friend.

Good.

But what about what your mom said?

She wanted you to marry a prince, Clare?

Well, to me, Steve is a prince.

How cozy.

What happened to you?

I got into a fight, Clare.

I got into a couple of fights.

In fact, I'm even thinking about getting into one more.

Relax, Steve.

Oh, yes, your Highness.

Anything you want, you got it.

Even the woman I love most in the world.

Is that how it is?

Is it?

No, that's not the way it is.

I said, may the best man win, and he has.

You have a good trip back to LA.

Uh, maybe we can all get together

for dinner this weekend.

What do you say?

Nothing happened between you two?

Nothing happened.

She loves you, Steve.

OK, then I say dinner's on me.

That'll be nice for a change.

Besides, this party broke my whole allowance for the month.

Thanks for the party, Carl.

Goodbye, Clare.

Bye, Carl.

Kiss me, you fool.

Are you talking to me?

Well, I don't see any other fools around here, do you?

How could this have happened?

We used a condom.

Yeah?

How long have you been carrying that thing around?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Nat, what are we going to tell everybody?

We're not going to tell them anything.

Well, I'm going to be showing in a couple of months.

And I'm going to be a father.

It still hasn't sunk in, OK?

Would you believe it?

If that drugstore pregnancy test is accurate,

my grandchildren are going to have a new aunt or uncle.

Nat, we got to tell everybody something.

They're going to think I'm still sick.

Um.

leave it to me.

I'll think of something, OK?

OK.

All right.

WOMAN: Taxi for me, please.

MAN: I'll have your bags ready for you, sir.

Hey, guys.

You ready to go?

All set.

Valerie gave me the good news about Colin.

What a relief.

Yeah, it's great, huh?

Where's Susan?

She's in Washington, DC.

We broke up.

I don't want to talk about it.

Brando, Joan and I have some news.

We want you to be the first to hear it.

Sounds serious.

It is.

Joanie and I are going--

Joanie and I are getting married.

We are?

I mean, we are.

You guys are going to get married?

That's great news.

Congratulations.

Yeah, how do you like that, huh?

I like it.

How about you, Joanie?

You like that news?

Yeah, I like it.

[soft music]

It's good.

We all like it so, huh, that's settled.

Excuse me.

Joan, did, uh, did you know about this?

I do now.

It's a hell of a nice club.

Glad I could help save it.

Yeah, it really kicks into gear right after 11:00.

Can I get you a drink for the road, or are you still on duty?

I'll have a single malt.

I think I'll join you.

So, it's a shame you have to leave so soon.

Yeah, but I'll be back.

You see this trip, it had two purposes.

I have applied for reassignment to Los Angeles.

You did?

A couple of weeks ago.

Might not come through, but you never know.

Well, I hope it does.

I hope so too.

Here's to hoping.

So, are you as trustworthy and loyal as you seem, Mr. Ballen?

What can I say?

Ms. Malone, it's a curse.

So how come no girl's scooped you up already?

Well, when you get right down to it,

I don't think that most women like those traits in a man.

It's too much to live up to.

Is that a challenge?

I don't know.

How good are you?

[music playing]

Not bad.

Well, I should probably catch that plane.

Yeah.

I'll call you.

You better.

Hey.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

Yeah, it is.

Ocean smells great, doesn't it?

Yeah, it smells like summer.

There's already people partying on the beach.

I, uh, I wanted to thank you for this weekend.

I had a lot of fun with you.

It was cool.

Yeah.

You know, I've been, uh, thinking a lot about us.

I have too.

Really?

What have you been thinking about?

No, no--

Come on.

You brought it up.

You, uh, you go first.

OK.

Well, I, um, I just had a really nice time with you this weekend.

I just been thinking a lot about, you know, you

and-- and me.

You and me, you mean you and me as in you and me together?

Well, stranger things have happened.

People do get back together after dating other people.

And we certainly have dated other people.

You know what, this is crazy.

We've been down this road before, and it didn't work then.

Right.

I mean, we'd only fight.

We'd fight all the time.

Yeah.

Well, you know what, I'm glad we, uh, agree on that.

I still love you, though.

I know.

I love you, too.

[soft music]

What are we saying?

We love each other, but--

but we can't see each other except when we're working,

of course.

Of course.

So why don't we try it?

I mean, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Right.

And if it works, it works.

Wait, I mean, are we saying that we're

going to start going out again?

Is that right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess that's what we're saying.

So can I kiss you now?

Yeah, I think that'd be a good idea.

[doorbell ringing]

Kel.

Hi.

Can I come in?

Yeah, sorry.

Come on in.

Yeah.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing really.

I just don't feel like being alone.

Steve and Clare here?

No, no, they're still out celebrating.

And Val's at the club.

I'm actually glad you're here.

I was just kind of kicking around by myself.

So, um, can I get you something?

No, I'm fine.

Thanks.

Um, I got a letter from Dylan.

Wanted me to know he was in London.

I had an email waiting for me from Brenda.

Said the same thing.

Did she mention that they were living together?

Yeah.

Yeah.

She did.

Brandon, do you think there will

ever be a chance for us again?

Yeah, sure, if you want there to be.

I do.

I guess I always have.

I tried so hard to do the right thing

last year when I turned you down.

I told myself I was making the right choice,

but I really didn't have any choice at all.

Yeah, you did.

Choosing between you and Dylan.

Think about how that would have affected the two of you.

What kind of choice is that?

Well, maybe you're right.

I just want another chance if you think

you could let that happen.

You know, Kelly, I can't say I haven't

had those thoughts myself.

But we're both on the rebound, you know.

I think that rushing into something

would just be a recipe for disaster.

Maybe we should just give it some time, huh?

That's exactly what Andrea said.

Well, Andrea's a smart girl.

She goes to Yale, you know?

Sure you don't wanna some dinner?

I was going to order up some Cambodian food.

A little dim sum and then some.

No.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Call me sometime.

More than you have been.

I will.

Hi.

Hi, Val.

So, uh, you think you guys are going

to get back together again?

Saw that, huh?

Yeah, I'm sorry, I wasn't snooping.

I just didn't want to interrupt.

Well, don't jump to any conclusions.

So are you saying it wouldn't happen?

I don't know.

Dylan and Brenda found each other in a town of 15 million,

if you include the outlying areas.

It could happen.

Not if I can help it.
