Alright.

Marco, you were rockin' at
Morocco's kids' club last week.

Sending you back there,
my friend.

And, Chloe, yeah

let's get tennis and badminton
back on the radar.

Sign-ups were down almost 20%
last week

and that is bad-minton.

You got it, boss, I'll have
badminton numbers so high

we'll need
a whole new flock of birdies.

Perfect. Uh, alright,
bring it in. Bring it in, guys.

First of all, uh,
sorry for the late meeting.

I just want to say thank you
for the fantastic job last week.

I saw nothing but smiles
for miles

and that was all you guys,
alright?

'You should be
proud of yourselves.'

'Yeah.'

It looks like we got
another full house this week

which means we are gonna be
busy, busy, busy.

I want everybody
to bring their A game.

That means
I want the volleyballs

to have maximum volley,
I want the dive masks so clear

you could spot a puffer fish
a hundred feet off

and I want the scuba tanks
overflowing

with the purest of oxygen.

Actually, boss,
that's not very advisable

because
that's a nitrogen-oxygen blend.

I'm glad
somebody's paying attention.

Alright, guys,
let's have another great day

of sun, sand and smiles.

[instrumental music]

(female #1)
'And our tropical
romance series'

'mystery book club
and children's literature'

are driving sales
in both e-books and print

pushing next quarter's
projections up 15 to 18%.

'So in conclusion,
while many struggle'

'to overcome the challenges'

of today's
rapidly changing market place

our company remains
one of the most profitable

publishing houses in New York.
Thank you.

[applauding]

Ah, perfect timing. Eric
should be here in five minutes.

- Did you bring everything?
- All here.

Your luggage
and last quarter's reports.

That was one great speech, Kate.

And that's why
you're going to be

our new senior VP of marketing.

Not yet I think.

Gwen's exact words were

"If you ace your presentation
to Mr. Whitehall

then the promotion is yours."

What's this?

"'Peg The Platypus,'
by Kate Mitchell?"

That must've got mixed up
on the shelf.

You know, just some silly thing
I wrote back in college.

Children's book.
Oh, I really need this vacation.

When I close my eyes,
all I see are numbers.

Eric and I have been
so busy lately

we barely remember
what each other looks like.

And it is
your one-year anniversary.

Do you think, a proposal?

I have to admit,
the thought has crossed my mind.

Life is a book.
I'm ready for the next chapter.

Charles, timing's perfect,
series A round's about to close

so let's get this deal
wrapped up.

- Hey there.
- Yeah.

I'll call you from the resort.

Hi.

It's okay, I've got
a teeny bit of work as well.

Well, that's why
we're perfect for each other.

- We finish each other's--
- Spreadsheets.

Exactly.

I promise you,
this vacation's gonna be

80% romance and 20% work.

How about we aim
for 90-10 instead?

So as long
as we have some time together

without any deadlines
or distractions.

Exactly how I feel.

And there's a little somethin'
I want to talk to you about

but it's gonna have to wait
until we get to the resort.

- Car's waitin'.
- And so is paradise.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today

Oh, thank you.

Wow, it's even prettier
than the brochure.

[chuckles]

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

To our vacation.

I'm not
and I'm not messin' around.

Oh, hold on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

Oh..

- That was close.
- Ah.

My laptop.
That would've been a disaster.

- Thank you.
- All in a day's work.

Welcome.

- Shep? Is that..
- Katie Mitchell?

- Ah!
- Are you kidding me?

[laughing]

Oh, I go by Kate now, but..

What a surprise!

- Uh, you look--
- Like a million bucks?

I-I was gonna say taller,
but that, too.

Eric, this is Michael Shepard.
Shep.

Uh, we were camp counsellors
together ages ago.

Eric. Strong name. Viking name.

You're a lucky man. Kate
was always one of a kind.

And still is.

[cell phone ringing]
Oh, sorry.

Office. Sorry.

What a surprise!

What's it been, like

15 years?

Try 20, if you can believe it.

I can't.
What are you doing here?

My shift started
a couple of hours ago.

If I don't stick around,
they'll fire me.

- You work here?
- Yeah. Activities director.

Oh, well, that sounds fun.
Uh, what do you..

Direct activities, pretty much.

Coordinate
entertainment packages

curate guest experiences.

Sounds like you've taken
your camp-counselor skills

to the next level.

Nah. This place
is way better than camp.

I rarely find myself
consoling a homesick guest.

What about you?
Doctor, physicist?

- Not quite. I'm in publishing.
- Of course you are.

Your campfire stories
were legendary.

I'd love to read
one of your books.

A-actually I'm in the marketing
side of publishing.

Oh. Well, that's great, too.

- Sorry. Well..
- Not a problem.

We were just catching up.

- So camp hoodlums, huh?
- Three summers.

This one was an ace
with a bow and arrow.

[chuckles]
I'd like to see that.

[chuckles]
I..

It was a long time ago.

I'll let you guys get checked
in, but I'll tell you what?

I am gonna personally oversee
your vacation

make sure
that everything is perfect.

- Thank you.
- Well, after you, Robin Hood.

Hm.

You know,
he hasn't changed all that much.

- Uh..
- Hm.

[instrumental music]

- Who was that, boss?
- No one.

Just an old friend.

(female #2)
Yes, I have a reservation
for two deluxe rooms.

I hope
you enjoy your stay with us.

- Here are your keys.
- Oh.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I see you guys have ordered
the VIP package.

Nicely done.

That includes
a romantic candlelit dinner

just you two
and the tiki torches.

Uh, we could set that up
for tomorrow night if you like.

Yeah, and of course,
you'll have access to all

of our most popular activities

scuba, snorkeling,
parasailing, zip-lining.

All we're gonna need
are a couple of pool chairs.

And the passcode to the Wi-Fi.

Maribel, those are
for the El Presidente suite

for the Van Houten event.

Van Houten,
as in Gus Van Houten?

You know of him? He's hosting
a reception here for the day.

Yeah, the biggest developer
on the East Coast and my idol.

Legend. Yeah.

Well, maybe you'll run into him.

Maybe I will.

[instrumental music]

Alright.

We'll move the Mayan tour
up to noon.

- Voila!
- Perfect.

What's goin' on?

Just Shep makin'
the impossible possible again.

Ah, if you're not
my plucky protege

soon the student
will become the master.

- I will see you at the pool.
- 'Alright.'

- Well..
- Hm.

- The latest reviews are in.
- Hm?

And our little resort
is trending as they say.

Or is it hashtaggin'?
Either way.

Check out the stars.

[whistles]

Customers are very happy.

- And it's mainly due to you.
- Oh, thanks, Bob.

- It's a team effort.
- Oh, come on.

Don't be so modest.

I've been in this business
for 20 years

and reviews like these just
don't come around every day.

Which makes me wonder
why would you want a transfer

over to our resort
down in Tahiti.

A rollin' stone.
You know what they say.

"Rollin' stones got to roll."

Ah, I just don't want
to become a lifer.

Yeah, you know, the kind of
people that are so settled in

they barely remember
what day it is?

- Sound familiar?
- I know today is Thurs..

Friday.

Which means, Fun Friday Trivia
down by the pool.

And I'm late.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

- Yeah, so what do you think?
- Hm.

I have to admit,
this place is pretty amazing

and romantic.

Did you see the brochure
on parasailing?

Yeah. Awesome.

- And not on your life.
- Come on. It looks like fun.

Yeah, I know, but..

I know, you don't have
to tell me

your fear of open water again.

I warned you
when we booked this resort

that some people
are afraid of heights

for some it's spiders.

So what if the big, deep,
scary ocean freaks me out a bit?

Well..

Fine. Cheers to us.

Actually on vacation.
Can you believe it?

- Sweetheart, there he is.
- Who?

Gus Van Houten.

Yeah, I talked
to my office today

and, uh, word on the street is

he's thinkin' about building
a mega-resort down here.

- Oh?
- Sweetheart.

You wouldn't mind if I went
and said a quick hello.

- Would you?
- Couldn't it wait till later?

I mean,
the night is kind of perfect

and I thought that maybe
we could take a stroll.

Yeah, but I may not have another
opportunity to say hello and--

Fine. Fine.

Go say hi.
I'll go check out the pool.

And then
I can describe it to you later.

Alright.
I'll be quick. I promise.

[instrumental music]

[sighing]

[chuckling]

Well, look who's here.

- 'Come here.'
- Just finishing up dinner.

Looks like
you have a way with the animals.

Yeah.
It's easier said than done.

These guys
have a mind of their own.

'Pool staff
are supposed to put them away.'

- A little help?
- Alright.

Oh, come here, come here.
Oh, I got you.

Oh, don't feel bad.

'Just because
you're not a mythical creature'

doesn't mean
you're not as important

as all the other
super-large pool animals

especially,
Mr. Unicorn over there

with his inflated ego.
Don't feel bad.

Sounds like the beginning
of a pretty cute story.

[chuckles]
Well, I, uh,
I better get back.

[exhales]
Hey, tomorrow..

If you guys are looking for
something a little more exciting

than lounging poolside,
just say the word.

I know a guy who'll set you up.

A very, very wise man
once said

"If you say no to adventure,
you say no to life."

- Oh, yeah? Who said that?
- I did.

Doesn't make it any less true.

- Goodnight.
- 'Yeah.'

Alright.

Hey, honey, I'd like you to meet
Mr. Van Houten.

Gus, please.

- Terrific to meet you, Kate.
- You as well.

You have excellent taste
in resorts.

You picked the future's
second best resort in the area.

I'm building a new one
up the coast.

Well, if this place
is gonna be second best

you have your work
cut out for you

but something tells me
you're up to the task.

Well, I hope so. It's a pleasure
meeting both of you.

- You two have a good night.
- Pleasure to meet you.

[chuckles]

It turns out we've got, like,
40 friends in common

back in the States.
Ah, and get this.

He invited me
to play golf with him tomorrow.

Wow, that's great.

What about hanging by the pool?

I thought
we were going to obsess

of a work together 90-10,
remember?

I know,
but it's Gus Van Houten.

I got his ear
for four solid hours.

This is a huge opportunity.

Fine. You go have fun,
I will keep myself busy.

I've got plenty of work to do,
anyway.

Deal.

Alright,
I'm gonna go pay the bill.

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

Come here, unicorn.

[instrumental music]

[macaw squeaking]

Buenos dias.

[indistinct chatter]

Well, at least I've got you,
Jorge.

Buenos dias.

[chuckles]

Let's see.

Hey, Sally. Yeah. It's me.

Did we get
the quarterly projections

on the mystery line yet?

I need to fold it
into my presentation.

(Sally on phone)
'It's the first day
of your vacation.'

'Shouldn't you be vacationing?'

As soon
as Eric gets back from golf.

I'll have plenty of time..

Oh, no. Oh, no, no. no.
Sally, I'll call you back.

Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no.

Ah. Ah.

Say, maybe the wind gods are
trying to tell you something.

Yeah, what? To squint
at my laptop in the sun?

To let it go.
You're a business woman.

Isn't the first rule,
work smarter and not harder?

Shep, I have a presentation
when I get back

and a promotion
that hangs in the balance.

So the point is
that I need to--

To relax.

Before you blow a gasket..

...sit.

Alright, I'll tell you what?

You e-mail the file
to the business office

I'll have this all printed off
by the time we get back.

Okay. Wait.
Get back from where?

I'm leading a guided hike.
You and Eric should come along.

Come on. It's just a quick
little jaunt through the jungle.

- Might even see an iguana.
- Mm-hmm.

- Besides, it'll take..
- Oh.

It'll take time to get
all these pages to be printed.

[sighs]

Where's your sense of adventure?

I left it at camp
with my bow and arrow.

And Eric's golfin' all morning.

Truth is, you don't look like
you're having a lot of fun.

[inhales deeply]
A hike, huh?

[sighs]
Well, it's either that

or making conversation
with the parrot.

He's probably just gonna
keep repeating himself.

Buenos dias.

[chuckling]

[instrumental music]

(Shep)
'Alright, guys. Stay close.
Almost at the top.'

Should have a lovely view
of the resort from up there.

And if we're lucky, we might
even see some Mayan ruins.

Tony, how you doin'?
Alright. Good, bro.

Tom, Brenda.
Look good, guys. Hang in there.

Just a quick little jaunt
through the jungle, huh?

[chuckles]
Did I say quick little?

Ah, it's worth the effort,
trust me.

Are anacondas
local to the area?

- No.
- 'The blue-color bird..'

(Shep)
'You wanna try leading
for a while?'

Seem to recall you having some
experience in that department.

Oh, I only lead hikes
when the mosquitos are smaller.

Once they get
to be grapefruit size

I'm out of my league.

Alright, well, fill me in.
Catch me up.

Take your mind
off all those snakes.

You still writing those stories?

No, although, this hike
does have all the makings

of an ill-fated
adventure story.

- Ah, haven't lost a guest yet.
- Well, the day is young.

[laughing]

(Kate)
So activities director, huh?

Beaches, fruity drinks,
sunshine. Seems really rough.

Oh, that's not fair.
You forgot tanning.

It's like you are
on a permanent vacation.

So different than my world.

Oh, I know a thing or two
about your world.

Actually, it's paradise.

'You know,
I'm a little surprised'

that you ended up in marketing.

Last I recall,
you were headed off to college

to study creative writing.

I don't think
I've ever met anyone

with a gift for story-telling
than you have.

- 'Did you ever even pursue it?'
- I wanted to, yeah.

But I knew I had to survive
in the real world.

My rational side took over
and got an MBA instead

but I have a secret plan.

I took my first job
in a publishing house

thinking I'd be like
a little mole

and eventually burrow my way
over to the creative side.

- But?
- But I hit a wall.

Took a wrong turn and popped up
in the marketing department.

See, you can't even
help yourself.

Somehow your tale of woe
turned into a cute little story

about a mole, evidence
that you should be writing.

Good job, everyone. We have
reached the turnaround point.

(Shep)
Rest up, relax, rehydrate

though the way back
is a lot zippier.

This is awesome!

- Zippier? How?
- You'll see. Uh..

I can't believe
you talked me into this.

- Tell me you're joking.
- It's the fastest way down.

Well, aside from falling,
which seems like

a very strong possibility.

I'm really not comfortable
with this.

Well, that's one of the things
that I specialize in

helping guests
move beyond their fears

stepping outside
of their comfort zones

but only at their own pace.

[screaming]

Hurtling through the air
100 feet above the ground

is way outside
of my comfort zone.

It's not a 100 feet.

Yeah, that's pretty high.
Look, it's incredibly safe.

The equipment
is thoroughly tested.

The only real danger here

is missing out
on the experience of a lifetime.

- I go when I'm ready.
- Of course.

- No pushing. No shoving.
- No. Got it.

- No, "Let's get going."
- Wouldn't dream of it.

[sighs]

- I choose when to jump.
- Copy that.

(Shep)
Keep breathing. You'll be fine.

[screaming]

You're harnessed in and safe!
Have fun!

I'm not having fun!

[screaming]

'Ah!'

- 'Whoo-hoo!'
- Oh, yeah!

[screaming]

Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh! Wow!

- Has anyone ever fallen?
- Never, senora.

I should've asked that
off the top.

[sighs]

Whoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!

Ah!

[chuckles]

Never gets old.

[chuckles]

It's awesome, right?

[sighs]

(Sally on phone)
'Kate, that's crazy.
You di

Zip-lining. I mean,
I got roped into it.

Well, pardon the pun,
but I may as well admit

it did help take my mind
off my lonely day.

W-what? No Eric?

[knocking on door]

Oh, somebody's at the door.

Gotta go. Bye.

Shep! What's up?

You clean up nice.

Uh, your tiki dinner awaits.

I don't normally
handle these things myself

but after today,
I felt I owed it to you.

Thank you.

Eric is already there.

Where is it?

Just follow the red petal road.

[instrumental music]

[chuckles]

Eric?

[chuckling]
Eric?

- 'There you are.'
- Hi, honey.

Wow, you look gorgeous.

- Ah!
- 'Oh.'

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Geez.
- Oh. Hey, hey. Hey!

- Yeah, we're not eating here.
- He's huge.

(Chloe)
'I really am sorry.'

From time-to-time
we have uninvited visitors

at the resort.

It's kind of the downside
of being next to the jungle.

Yeah, a bit unexpected
for a, uh, 5-star resort.

Oh, well, it's okay.

The green fellow
was kind of cute.

Just surprised me a little.

How about
we postpone your tiki dinner

and you dine here tonight,
instead?

Sounds great.

[instrumental music]

- Ah, terrific dinner.
- Mm.

Tonight is turning out okay

despite the mud

and the iguanas.

The zip-lining
was a lot more fun

than I thought it was gonna be.

One thing I will say for him.

Shep definitely got me
out of my routine.

Yeah, well,
so is getting the flu

but we don't wanna
make it a habit.

Well, I'm just glad
we're both here now.

I believe
there was something special

you wanted to chat about?

[applauding]

(Shep)
Alright, alright.

So nice to see all these
smiling faces out here tonight.

'You guys havin' a good time?'

[crowd cheering]

I'll take that as a yes.

Now, we're pretty big
on romance

here at the resort,
and I think we all know

that one
of the most romantic things

that you can do
for your significant other

is listen when they speak.

So we're gonna find out how well

some of our couples
know each other

with a little game
we like to call

The Cancun Couples' Challenge.

I'm gonna need three couples
to volunteer from the audience.

Who wants to play?

You guys in the back, get up
here. You're at table one.

Alright, anybody else? Anybo..
There you go.

I like your spirit.
You two, table number two.

Alright, we need one more
lucky pair. Who's it gonna be?

Who's it gonna be?
Come on, anybody. Come on.

Hey, how about you guys?

- Us?
- Uh-uh.

Come on.
You guys will nail this.

This audience is like
a tour of mismatched socks.

You can't lose. Besides,
winner gets a great prize.

Why not? We're in.

I was hoping
to get a little alone time.

(Shep)
Alright, heading into
the final round.

We actually have ourselves
a pretty tight race here.

So let's go to Kate.

For ten points.

What was Eric's first car?

Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce.

(Shep)
'Correct.'

[applauding]

Let's move over to Eric now.

Eric, back in high school

what was Kate's dream job?

Yeah, that's easy.
The one she's about to get.

Head of marketing
in a major publishing company.

If memory serves,
I think that may be incorrect.

'Kate, your answer.'

(crowd)
'Aw.'

(Shep)
'Oh. Sorry, guys.'

Thanks for playing, though.
Angela and Robert.

'Let's see if you guys
can put this thing away.'

Yeah, I'm sorry,
I had a brain freeze.

I knew about
the whole children's-book thing.

It's "Wally And The Wombat,"
right?

"Peg The Platypus."

Though, actually,
it's about people

types of people, really, and..

You know what, never mind.
It's getting late.

Yeah, we've got
a big day tomorrow.

- What do you mean?
- Well.

I saved the best news
for dessert.

Gus invited us out
on his yacht tomorrow.

Head up to Briar's Landing.

It's supposed to be
the nicest beaches on the coast

and it's where
he's building his new resort.

But you know I hate boats.

You know
that the open water scares me.

Yeah, it's just
a quick little trip.

- Huh.
- Look, it's got a motor.

It's big. It's like a cruise
ship, it's not gonna sink.

Eric, I've been patient
and supportive.

I thought we might finally
get some alone time together.

That's the best part.
He's got a private beach.

We're his only guests.

It's just gonna be us.
So what do you say?

- Okay, I'll think about it.
- Great.

[cell phone ringing]

Yeah, I'm gonna leave a note
for Gus at the front desk, okay?

- Hey, Sally.
- So are you wearing a ring yet?

Well, I think
Eric might've been ready

to pop the question tonight,
but an iguana had another idea.

- A what now?
- Uh, never mind.

(Sally on phone)
'Well, cheer up.'

Tomorrow's a whole new day
with new adventures.

Yeah, that hopefully
don't involve any shipwrecks.

Huh. And maybe
even some alone time with Eric.

Alright, okay.
Talk to you later.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

Wow, what a beautiful day, huh?

What happened

to the cruise ship
with a motor?

I, I don't know.

Ah, the famous Kate again.

From what Eric tells me
on the golf course

you're one of publishing's
rising talents.

Oh, no doubt, things get
exaggerated on the golf course.

[laughs]
Well, I brought the sail boat.

It's a magnificent day
to go sailing.

We've got some very nice swells.

(Kate)
Oh. Oh, no!

I think
we have our first casualty.

It's alright.
We've got a good strong wind.

We'll plough through
this chop, no problem.

You sure
the ocean isn't too rough today?

Too rough? No such thing.

Of course,
I did win the Nautica Cup

with a hurricane at my back

pushing me
across the finish line.

Welcome aboard.

I wasn't sure about this
and now that it's a sail boat..

Uh, sweetheart,
less than an hour on the water

we'll spend a couple of hours
on the beach

we'll be home by dinner.
Alright?

Come on.

Uh..

Um..

You know, I'm gonna stay here.

Sailing's really not my thing.

- Everything okay?
- Yes, Gus.

It's just
I'm not great on the water

and I've got some work to do,
anyway.

Hey, if you feel
that strongly about it

I'll stay here if you want.

No. I'll be fine.

I can curl up on the pool chair
with my computer.

Besides,
there's nothing more romantic

than when a man
returns from the sea, right?

I'll have Eric back to you
safe and sound by sunset.

Alright. Well, remember,
our dinner tonight.

I've got somethin'
I wanna discuss with you.

Be safe.

Ah.

[exhales sharply]

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

So the key is,
no matter what the request

you always gotta have
a solution.

For example,
if the guest wants to relax?

- Yoga.
- Mm-hmm.

Or a massage.

- Adrenaline rush.
- Oh, parasailing.

Or shark-diving.

- The limbo.
- Limbo? Sure.

Always gets my blood pumpin'.

[Chloe chuckles]

- Oh, well, well, well.
- Hi.

Wasn't expecting to see you
here today. Are you lost?

Actually,
I'm looking for something to do.

Oh? Well, then you came
to the right guy.

What's your fancy,
uh, ping-pong?

No, too juvenile.

- Dance cardio?
- Ha-ha. Too sweaty.

Bungee jumping?
Bad-ass, right?

Well, I thought
you had plans today.

Well, I was supposed
to go sailing with Eric

but I backed out.

I know it's silly,
but I have this fear--

Fear of open water, yeah.
I remember.

It's not silly at all. Surprised
he would even suggest it.

I know what you're gonna do.

Follow me.

Why do I not like the sound of
that? Where are you taking me?

You're not gonna find out
just standing there. Let's go.

[chuckles]

- I don't think I can do this.
- You're doing great.

'A few baby steps and before
you know, you'll be sprinting.'

[chuckles]
Can we take a couple
of baby steps backwards?

Just follow along
and watch what I do.

At any point, you wanna head in

'for a couple of umbrella
drinks, you just say the word.'

Really?

Um, is that a, a shark?

Uh, that is a teenager
with a snorkel.

'Well, you're pretty cute.'

[chuckles]

Alright.

Just pop up,
keep your knees bent

oar in the water, bingo.

[exhales sharply]

Oh! Oh.

- I'm up!
- I'm right here with you.

Oh, God, I'm up!

- 'There you go, good.'
- Okay.

Actually, this is really cool.

Right? You want to race?

[chuckles]
At this point

I would settle
for remaining upright.

You know, I'm not actually
even really that freaked out.

Granted, I'm close to the shore.

I'm not exactly
in the open water.

Uh, turn around.

- Oh.
- How do you feel?

Actually..

...great.

High five.

- Yeah.
- Oh, uh, ah!

[chuckles]
Oh, oh, ho!

[panting]

[laughing]

Oh, I can..

- I can stand here.
- Yeah.

[laughs]

You knew that.

Ah.

We call it a day?

I'm getting back up.

Ooh-ooh-whee!

[grunting]

[instrumental music]

Whoo-hoo!

(Gus)
'The seas have calmed down.'

It's a shame
Kate couldn't come along.

Yeah, she's always had a fear
of the open water.

Yeah, lack of sea legs aside

she sure seems like a keeper.

Yeah, she's great.

She seems as driven as you are.

'How long
have you two been together?'

About a year now.

Imagine that.

Now, there are a lot of oysters
in these waters.

They all look the same
on the outside.

Now, the trick is to find
that one in a thousand

that's holding a pearl.

[chuckles]
That was fantastic. Thank you.

Forget about baby steps,
you're ready to turn pro.

I'm really proud of you.
Today went well.

Wish I could say that
about my vacation.

Here I thought Eric and I
were going to have

a romantic getaway
with a little work on the side.

Now I see I got that reversed.

Well, maybe you look at it
as a chance to have some fun.

You know, explore.

Great things happen when you
step outside your comfort zone.

What about you?

You don't exactly
seem challenged here.

- 'Didn't you ever want more?'
- I like what I do.

I definitely see the appeal
of this place.

Mm-hmm.

All my problems
just seem to be floating away.

If you think you feel good
after an hour of sunshine

on a paddle board

wait till you see
what I got planned next.

[instrumental music]

(Kate)
This is awesome!

I haven't ridden horses since

well, summer camp.

Apparently, you still remember
how to drive one.

[chuckles]
Don't you have to be
back at work?

Yeah,
my shift ended an hour ago.

And I knew
if left to your own devices

you'd probably wind up
back at the pool

with your face buried
in a pile of paperwork.

Besides, I'm on
permanent vacation, right?

Look, I'm sorry
about what I said earlier..

...about your job.

I wasn't meaning to imply
you weren't successful.

It's just,
you always talked about

pursuing politics or law

affecting change in the world.

I make people smile.
I'd say that counts.

And I get to do it in some
of the most beautiful places

in the world.
I'd call that success.

Well, I guess it depends
a little on your definition.

Would you consider yourself
successful?

Sure. I mean,
I have a very good job.

I can't complain.

It doesn't bother you
that you're not writing?

Sometimes. It's too late now.

Made the mistake
of being too good at my job.

- 'Sealed my fate.'
- Hm.

Guess some dreams
are meant to stay dreams.

Well, some weren't.

'What's really
holding you back?'

What if I'm not very good?

What if you are?

Never find out unless you try.

By the way..

...how'd you remember
my fear for open water?

Well, sailing was pretty much
a daily activity at camp.

I remember
you setting foot on a boat

exactly zero times.

I remember a lot of things
from those days.

So do I.

And to be honest,
I can't think of a time since

that has really rivaled them.

Well, I consider that
a challenge.

- You up for a little race?
- Are you serious?

Come on, we used to race
all the time at camp.

Well, I did,
but I'd call what you did

holding on to the saddle
for dear life.

Oh, right.

That's another thing
I remember about you.

You are just
the teensiest bit competitive.

I am not

but I bet I could beat you
to the end of the beach.

Alright, you're on. On three.

One, two, three!

[horse snorting]

Hey! Come on!

[horse neighing]

- You're having fun yet?
- Whoo!

[chuckles]

I'll take that as a yes!

It's absolutely amazing.

Looked at some of
the other resorts in the area.

The growth potential
in this market is enormous.

It's my thinking, too.
I've had a house here for years.

It's the best beach in the area.
Hidden jewel.

The best site
for a luxury resort

is off the beaten path.

And the best way to promote it
is not to.

- Then people seek it out.
- Smart.

Well, they don't teach you that
at the seminars.

[chuckles]
Well, generally

I don't share my thinking
with just anyone

but I do like helping out
the next generation when I can.

You remind me of a younger me,
hungry.

Well, I appreciate
the look behind the curtain.

And I appreciate a fast learner.

Maybe you can play a role
in all this.

[instrumental music]

(Kate)
'Thank you for the lift.'

(Shep)
No problem.

(Kate)
'I don't see Gus' boat.'

Well,
I guess they're not back yet.

I don't have any messages
from him.

I hope everything is alright.

Ah, cell service can be
a little dodgy out there.

I'm happy to wait.

Sure they'll be back soon.

In the meantime,
have you seen the plaza?

- No.
- Well..

You can't leave Mexico
without experiencing

la cultura local.

You up for it, muchacha?

Si, senor.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

(Kate)
You totally should've bought
that T-shirt.

It had your name
written all over it.

[laughs]

This is my favorite fountain
in all of Cancun.

A fountain connoisseur?
Who knew?

Well, it's beautiful.

- Very peaceful.
- A little fact.

The Mayans were the principal
architects of running water.

Not only did they master
fountains, but also toilets.

I did not know that.

Well, I am
a fountain of information.

Oh.

But that's not why
I like this one.

- You have a peso?
- I should.

Actually, do you have two?

Alright, legend has it,
toss a coin into the fountain

any wish you make
will come true. You ready?

I'm not sure how trustworthy
the legend is.

Thrown enough for a down payment
on a house in here.

Still waitin' on those wishes.

Oh, uh, it's Eric.
Excuse me a second.

Um, look at that.
I guess the wishes do come true.

Hey, honey. Where are you?

(Eric)
'I'm actually still out here.'

Oh, man,
this place is beautiful.

(Eric on phone)
'Listen, change of plans.'

'Gus wants me to stay here
till tomorrow.'

The architect's gonna be here
in the morning

and he wants me to be
a part of the meeting.

But what about
our romantic evening?

I mean, everything's
already being prepared.

It's gonna be
such a beautiful night.

Look, I can postpone it.
I'll call Shep.

Look, if I can get in on this

this could be
the opportunity of a lifetime.

What about our vacation
of a lifetime?

Alright, wasn't it you saying
this was gonna be

a little bit
of a working vacation?

Yeah, I did, but I meant
a few hours here or there

not separate vacations.

I mean, this was supposed to be
about us.

Look, I'll be back tomorrow.
We got the rest of the week.

- 'I'll call you later.'
- Okay. Bye.

[sighs]

Oh..

Is everything alright?

They're staying over.

Meeting some architect,
apparently.

Eric said it's a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

- Sorry.
- Yeah, so am I.

It's a shame, they'll have
already started preparing

your lobster dinner.

Well, maybe
it doesn't have to go to waste.

[chuckles]

(Kate)
'Mm, it's good.'

'So tell me'

how did you end up
in this place?

Nah. It's a long sordid tale.

And it seems like
I have nothing but time

so spill it.

Uh, well, after college,
I went to law school.

So you did go to law school.

What happened? Too stuffy?

Traded in your textbooks
for a surf board?

No. The opposite, actually.

- Graduated with honors.
- Oh.

Got a job as an associate
at a big firm

and, uh, they handed me
all these divorce cases

which, at first I thought
was great, you know

as an opportunity
to help people

get out of unhappy situations,
move on with their lives.

And?

And figured out pretty quickly

that wasn't what it was at all.

I had to look at everything
as if it had a price tag.

One day, walked out of court

hopped into a cab to the airport

'took the first flight
out of town.'

Landed in Ixtapa.

The second I got off the plane,
my heart rate slowed

lungs filled with fresh air.
I was like a different person.

So when I got home,
I applied to some resorts

got a job, came back.

Kinda been bouncin' around
ever since.

Where are you gonna
bounce to next?

Well, still waitin' to hear,
but possibly, Tahiti.

Don't you ever wanna
put down roots somewhere?

Yeah, of course. And I plan to.

Um, I wanna settle down,
have a family..

...one day.

But right now
I got a pretty great life.

As long as you don't
eat like this every day.

I could, I could put on
some serious pounds if I did.

Oh, but we have an antidote
for that.

[upbeat music]

- Oh, no way.
- Oh, yes way.

(Shep)
'Come on, join in the fun.'

There is no better way
in the world

to forget about things.

I'll look horrible
doing these dances.

Not as horrible as me.
Trust me.

Besides, if everyone's doing it,
there's no one watching you.

Oh, no, no, no..

Antonio.

Here we go.

There you go. You're a natural.

[chuckles]
Improvising. I love it.

- See, it's infectious.
- Okay, maybe a little.

- Okay, how do I look?
- Horrible. How do I look?

[laughing]
Horrible.

Good. We're doin' it right.

Whoo! It was amazing!

[chuckling]

Hey, thank you.

- That was kind of fun.
- Not bad.

(Kate)
Oh, um..

This is
an unexpected change of pace.

Guess we better
go with the flow.

It'd be kind of rude not to.

No choice, really.

[chuckling]

[instrumental music]

Thanks for trying
to cheer me up today.

Did it work?

Actually, yeah. I, uh,
didn't think about work once.

Now, how did that feel?

Really good.

Um, I should work on schedules
for tomorrow.

[chuckles]
No inflatable-animal rodeo
tonight?

No, they're asleep
for the evening.

What about you?
Back to the spreadsheets?

- I don't think so.
- Really?

No, I think I'm just gonna
take in the night air tonight.

Well, what has gotten into you?

Well, I am on vacation.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

[cell phone ringing]

- Hey, Sally, what's up?
- Hey, Kate, sorry.

The outside world intrudes.

Gwen is going crazy.

And not like fun crazy.
Crazy, crazy.

Did her son
dent the Jaguar again?

(Sally on phone)
'Worse, Gwen wants to see
your presentation'

'in advance
at the Whitehall meeting.'

Oh, but she gave me all week
to finish it.

I know, but you know Gwen.

Well, tell her I'll have it
to her on schedule as promised.

What's gotten into you? Kate,
your promotion is at stake.

Yeah, well, I am on vacation.

[chuckles]

Don't worry. One way or another,
I'll get it in.

I hope you know
what you're doing.

- Say hi to Eric.
- I will if I see him.

- Huh?
- 'Oh, sorry, Sal.'

Way too much to explain
right now

and I've got some relaxing
to do.

(Gus)
'What do you think of the plan?'

Oh, world-class resort

perfect location.

So you can see the potential?

Yeah, absolutely.

Hey, I really appreciate you
letting me tag along on this.

- Gus.
- It's okay.

I've already made a call
to my New York office.

I think we could use someone
like you on this project.

[chuckles]
I'd be honored. I've..

I've learned more
in the last 24 hours

than I have
in the last year at the firm.

Thank you, Maria.

We can talk on our way back.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[instrumental music]

♪ Pam pa-ra pam-pam pam
pam pam pam ♪♪

Alright, troops, fall in.

[blowing whistle]
We are looking for sand.

What kind of sand?
Castle-building sand.

That means not too wet,
not too dry, just right

especially if we're gonna
build our castles

as high as the trees.

- Aw!
- No? Higher?

With the clouds, the moon?

Alright, go. Your stuff
is all waiting for you.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

[Shep chuckles]

Well, if it isn't
the Pied Piper of Cancun.

I see
you haven't lost your touch.

Yeah, half our day-care staff

is down with the flu.

- 'I said I'd pitch in.'
- Lucky kids.

Oh, I'm trying.
It's a handful, though.

'I don't suppose
you'd want to help out.'

Parents don't arrive
for a while.

I could use a Ginger Rogers

to my Fred Astaire.

Well, thank you,
but it's been a while

since I've spent time
around kids.

Come on. You mastered
stand-up paddle yesterday.

I think you could handle

a couple
of adorable little children.

Well, they are adorable,
but I've seen you dance.

You're no Fred Astaire. Huh?

Ouch.

[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles]

That is a nice pile of sand.

Pile of sand?

Don't be fooled by the exterior

underneath my 300
subterranean floors

of cutting-edge architecture.

Oh, whoa, whoa.

Now, I think we're losing 'em.

- 'Uh..'
- Thoughts?

A g-giant butterfly net?
I mean, I don't know.

Tell 'em one of your jokes,
that should have them

asleep in no time.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

[blowing whistle]
Guys, guys, guys. Listen up.

I have a special treat for you.

Under that umbrella

someone is going to tell you
a story.

(kids)
Yay!

What, me?

- Nah-uh. Not a chance.
- Yep.

Ah, alright.

So..

...Kate is going
to tell you a story.

And not just any old story.

I'm talkin'
about the greatest story

you've ever heard in your lives.

- No pressure.
- Thank you.

I'm gonna pretend
that wasn't sarcastic.

Hm.

Okay then. Um..

Well, once upon a time

there was a platypus named Peg.

Now, as you all know,
a platypus is really two things.

They can swim like a duck

or they can scamper around
like an otter.

And one day

when Peg was gazing forlornly

at her reflection in the water

she wondered. What was she?

'Should she walk single file
with the duckies'

or should she jump and play
like the otters?

Hm?

[instrumental music]

So have you and Kate given
much thought to the future?

Ah, not really. Too focused
on the present, I guess.

Didn't I hear you say
you had some big news

to talk over with her?

Yeah, there's a, uh,
lot downtown.

Prime development thing.

I'mma ask her to go in on it
with me

you know,
so she has a stake in something.

Eric, let me give you another
piece of unsolicited advice.

A woman doesn't want a man
to be her business partner.

She wants someone
she can grow old with.

That's the plan. In due time.

Marriage looks good in business.

'All my partners are married.'

It says that a man has arrived.

Well, maybe marriage
is in the future.

You'd do well to let
your sails out sooner than later

'if you want to win the race.'

And so after saving
Platypus City

her adventure complete,
Peg realized

that no matter what
all the other animals said

she could be like a duck
when she wanted

or an otter at times

or whatever she wanted to be.

And that is...the end.

[applauding]

[chuckles]

[indistinct chatter]

Still got it.

Seriously. You need to write
that story down.

When you go back to New York,
you march into your boss' office

you slam it down
on her desk, kablam!

- That's all I say? Kablam?
- I don't know.

Maybe something more eloquent.
You're the writer.

You'll figure it out. Seriously.

Kate, you're really good.

Exceptional.

You should be writing
and you know it.

That's the pot
calling the kettle black.

You say you wanna
settle down one day

'have a home and a family.'

Well, how's that gonna happen
when you keep skipping around

from place to place?

'Heh-heh.
This is a fantasy world.'

You're not pursuing life.

You're hiding from it.

Look, I tried the real world,
I'm not going back to it.

Okay. So maybe divorce law
was a bad fit.

- Mm-hmm.
- You just throw in the towel?

I mean, what about practicing
family law?

Bringing people together
is what you do best.

I mean, look at how good
you are with the kids.

It's always been that way.

- Kate, I--
- Mm, mm..

Someone wise once told me

people need to get outside
of their comfort zones.

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

- Hi, boss.
- Well, you look alive.

Thank you.

So I just got done highlighting

all the racquet sports
in the in-room menu

and I'm expecting
a lot of responses.

Perfect. Thank you.

So Tahiti, that's awesome.
I really hope you get that.

- It's a beautiful resort.
- So what, one year there?

And then what's next on
the Shep tour around the world?

[chuckles]
I don't know.

I don't really think
that far ahead.

I just couldn't do that.

I don't know,
just moving around everywhere

and not being
with friends and family.

I just feel like I need to be
around the people that love me.

But that's just me and..

You have your friend Kate here.
That must be nice.

What's the story with you two?

Um, there's no story.
Just old friends.

- Camp counselors, right?
- That's right. Yeah.

That must've been
a whole lot of fun.

It was. Maybe some
of the best summers in my life.

[instrumental music]

Hey.

Back at work?

You might say that.

I am working on an old friend.

Peg.

[giggles]

It's very cute.

I forgot how much fun this was.

- Eric's not back yet?
- No. Not yet.

- Why?
- Well..

I mean,
I hate to interrupt your flow

but if you're just hangin' out

you wanna come
on a little adventure

that most tourists
never get to see?

[chuckles]
Sure.

[instrumental music]

How are you feelin'?
Doin' okay with this?

What? This little water?

Walk in the park.

You said some pretty
tough things to me earlier

about avoiding reality.

I know, a-and I..

Probably right, a lot of it.

Much as I hate to admit it.

There's actually a little more
to the reason that I left law

to work in the resorts.

- I was engaged for a while.
- Oh.

Back when
I was a divorce attorney

I would look
at all these feuding couples

and I would wonder
how they could

possibly have missed the signs..

...and I vowed
that it would not be me.

And then one day
my fiancee walked out.

Never saw it comin'.

I had gotten so wrapped up
in my work and what I was doing

that I had become the person
I swore I never would.

So resort life
offered a way to escape?

I guess if...you never get close
to anyone

you never get hurt again?

We're here.

This is us.

Uh, you wanna clue me in
as to what's down there?

I haven't steered you
wrong yet, have I?

- Ladies first.
- No. No.

[laughs]
Alright.

It's slippery. Watch your step.

Okay.

[instrumental music]

(Kate)
'Oh. Wow.'

[Kate laughs]

- Stunning.
- It's called a cenote.

So this whole area
rests on a limestone shelf.

When it rains, the water
trickles through the soil

and occasionally,
the ground gives way

leaving this.

- Wow.
- Pretty magical, huh?

(Kate)
'I don't think
I can even see the bottom.'

Probably not.

Some cenotes
are only inches deep

but others go hundreds of feet
straight down.

Just had to mention it,
didn't you?

[laughing]

Close your eyes. Listen.

[water trickling]

You can hear the water trickling
in from the adjacent cavern.

[water trickling]

It's peaceful.

You know what's funny?

When I close my eyes, I don't

I don't see numbers anymore.

No? What do you see?

You.

You're kind of a cenote
yourself.

Something about in-depths.

Yeah? You think so?

Yeah.

[bat fluttering]

- Oh!
- Whoa. Ho-ho-ho.

It's just a harmless little bat.

Uh, you could have
at least warned me.

Well, I could have.

Then you wouldn't have
come down here

to see all this.

Very funny and true.

Um, almost forgot.

Got you a little going-away gift
from the market.

The locals believe

that the beads will help you
find your way if you're lost.

It's beautiful. Thank you.

'Aha.'

Just a little somethin'

to remember me by.

I don't think I'll need
a bracelet to remind me of you.

[cell phone beeps]

It's Eric.

The boat.
It's pulling into the harbor.

Yeah.

[instrI think that's Eric.

Shep, um, I..

[sighs]

Thank you for today.

Thank you for everything.

Well, it's my job to make sure
that all the guests are happy.

Kate! Sweetheart!

Hey.

So good to see your face.

I'm sorry that this turned
into an overnight thing.

- Had I known, I--
- It's okay.

I just hope your time with Gus
was worthwhile.

It was amazing,
but enough about the trip.

Details later.
First, you and me.

I know this is supposed to be
our romantic trip

and I wanna make it up to you,
so I've been doing some thinking

about us and our future and..

How about we have
that romantic dinner tonight

just the two of us?

[chuckles]

Great. I'll call Shep
and have him arrange it.

He's been working so hard
lately.

Let's not ask him to do
anything else.

It's part of his job,
he'll be fine.

Come on, let's go.

[instrumental music]

[brush thuds]

(Eric)
'Kate, the trip was amazing.'

It's time to celebrate.

Well, uh, forgot the ice

but warm champagne
renders more bubbles.

Hm. Yeah.

To us.

With things lining up
so perfectly

our careers on the rise,
upcoming matching promotions

it's time
to talk about the future.

Our future.

Time to let my sails out.

What I meant to say is..

[instrumental music]

Kate, will you marry me?

♪ You don't know
what you're getting into ♪

♪ If you want something new
with me.. ♪

- Ah.
- Kate? Heh.

I just..

I mean,
I did sort of expect that.

[chuckles]

Now that it's here..

♪ I wanna know your heart.. ♪

- Wow.
- Wow.

So that's a yes?

I think I just need
a little time

to clear my head.

Okay, I know it's a lot..

...but I want you to know..

...there is no other woman
in this world

that is better for me than you.

♪ I was something new ♪♪

[indistinct chatter]

You know, I-I can't believe it.

I'm gonna be
this guy's right-hand man.

Right there with him
through the entire process.

I mean,
from planning to construction.

Sorry. I'm, I'm doin' it again.
Uh..

So have you had a chance
to think

about what we discussed
last night?

Honestly,
it's all I can think about.

Good. Take your time.

I've got to run into town
and take care of something

and maybe when I get back

we can put both our minds
to rest.

Hey, boss. Got you message.
Everything alright?

Hey, Shep. More than alright.

I got an e-mail today.
About you.

- From head office?
- You betcha.

Big news. Oh, I'll let you
read it yourself.

I don't want to spoil
the surprise.

You got Tahiti.

[chuckles]

'You obviously made
a big impression'

on the powers that be.

Wow. Tahiti.

It's great.

You don't seem too thrilled.

Uh, no, no, no. I am.

It's great. Thank you.

It was all you.

By the way, I heard
about your friend and her fella.

They got engaged last night
at dinner.

'That's pretty exciting news.'

Uh, yeah. Yeah, super-exciting.

Anyway, I know
it's your day off, so go relax.

And congrats
on the Tahiti thing.

- Thank you.
- 'Hey, Shep, last thing.'

Any ideas about
when you might be leaving us?

Uh, I think as soon as possible.

[sighs]

[cell phone ringing]

- Hey, Sally.
- Kate, what's going on?

- Gwen is going ballistic.
- About my presentation?

I shall have everything.
I promised.

Are you alright?

Yesterday you seemed terrific.

Today not so much.

It's just been
kind of an unusual vacation.

Oh, my gosh. Did Eric propose?

Yes, actually, he did.

- Last night.
- 'Hey, that's fantastic!'

What did I tell you?
Congratulations!

How does it feel?

The weird thing is..

...I'm not sure.

Not sure about what?
About the proposal?

I'm not sure about anything,
actually.

I mean,
it's just happening so fast.

Come on, honey,
you're thinking too much.

How's that?

'Kate, you're living'

'a romance novel.'

You should be enjoying all this.

Then why do I feel so confused?

Like..
I'll call you back.

[instrumental music]

[knocking]

(Kate)
Shep?

Kate? What are you doin' here?

Hey, sorry to just burst in.

I...wasn't sure
if this is where you live

but someone pointed me
in this direction.

Oh. Yeah, this is it.

Home sweet home.

For a little while, anyway.

My transfer came through.
I'm goin' to Tahiti.

Oh. Great.

Guess all those coins
in the fountain

finally worked.

Yeah, some of them at least.

Congratulations
on the engagement. I just heard.

I didn't say yes yet.

Oh. I thought
that was what you wanted.

I do. Or did.

I don't know.

I thought
I had everything figured out.

The lifestyle,
the career, the guy.

I thought I was happy

but this week

I realized, uh..

I guess I was just too busy
to see I wasn't.

Kate, people come here
on vacation

and suddenly
they see their entire world

in a different light,
but you said it yourself

this is fantasy.

It's not real.

Eric seems like a great guy.

If you say no, you might be
throwing away something great.

You seem surprised.

Just not
what I was expecting to hear.

Guess...I don't know
what I was expecting to hear.

Vacations are an escape.

That's all this was.

Well, what about you?

You escaped your life
a long time ago.

Now you've built this wall
so tightly around yourself

that you don't let anyone in.

But, Shep, some people want in.

[exhales sharply]
You and me got caught up
in the moment.

The thing about moments is..

...they pass.

I gotta...do some packing.

Well, I better leave you to it.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

[keyboard keys clacking]

[sighs]
It's your day off.
Pump the breaks a little.

You already got the promotion.

Hardest working man
in the resorts game.

I'm just leaving some notes
for you.

- Not that you need them.
- Thanks, boss.

Uh, hey, Bob, is it okay
if today is my last day?

I got you covered. No problem.

You're a class act, Shep.

I don't know
what we're gonna do without you.

Ah, you'll be just fine,
Chloe may be half my height

but she's twice as smart
and three times as charming.

Okay, if I stay here another
minute, I'm gonna start bawling

so adios, Shep.
You're the best.

You are.

Hey, you keep thinkin'
outside the box like you do

you'll be running the show
in no time.

You sure about this?

Ah, I kind of have a knack
for knowing

when it's time to go.
It's time.

Did I ever tell you what brought
me down here so many years ago?

Let me guess. To forget a girl?

Please. Job opportunity.

To forget a girl.

[chuckles]

Look, I get it.

A rolling stone has to roll
and all that jazz.

'And whatever it is
that you're searching for'

I really hope that you find it.

'But remember that occasionally
you should stop'

to read the signs along the way.

Meaning?

Well, take it for an old lifer.

'Sometimes you try so hard
to find that one thing'

that's gonna make you happy
that you miss it

when it lands right on your lap.

'Just think about it.'

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

[kids panting]

Hi, Kate. Do you have time
to tell us another story now?

Um..

[chuckles]
You know what? Sure.
I think I can manage something.

You guys have a seat.

Let's see. Let me think.

Hm.

[exhales sharply]

Hm. Okay.

This is a story about a princess

and a choice
between two handsome princes.

One prince was...royal

ambitious, successful

for building big castles
all over the land.

He had
all the princely qualities

that most princesses
usually love.

But the other prince, he was
fun-loving and adventurous

and he made the princess laugh

but his castle
was just made of sand.

One day, the ambitious prince

he asked the princess
to marry him.

That was something she wanted..

...but somehow

she just couldn't cross
the drawbridge.

Gazing up at the big castle..

...her mind kept wandering back

to the castle of sand
on the beach.

And so..

[cell phone beeps]

- Excuse me a minute.
- Yeah.

[exhales sharply]
I'm sorry, but I have to go.

But how does the story end?

You know, I'll tell you
when I find out.

Well, well, I'm sorry
this trip has gone so sideways.

Look, the other night
when I proposed to you..

...I admit, I messed up.

Yeah, it was rushed
and I don't blame you

for asking me for more time..

...but I wanna fix that.

Eric, it's...stunning.

Yeah? Well, we're good together.

And you got to admit,
with our careers on the rise

it's gonna be a win
for both of us.

- A win?
- Absolutely.

And then we'll be part
of the club.

A married power couple
ready to take on the world.

[scoffs]
So this is..

- It's all about our careers?
- No.

But you got to admit,
it's not gonna hurt.

Maybe I don't want my life
defined by work anymore.

I've just been realizing
a lot of things lately

things that I had forgotten
about myself. I mean..

I like fun,
adventure, creativity..

...and not having my thoughts
be all about numbers

when I close my eyes.

Maybe I'm just more of an otter
than a duck.

Now what?

You know, from my story.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

- I can't accept this.
- Sweetheart.

Did I do something wrong?

No. No, neither of us did.

It's just becoming clear
that we're very different people

who want different things.

You're gonna find a woman who
wants the same things you do.

I'm just not that woman.

I'm sorry.

[instrumental music]

[waves crashing]

Oh. Uh, I'm sorry. Is Shep here?

- No.
- Do you know where he is?

Uh, well,
he just gave his notice

and basically packed up
and left.

- That quick?
- Well, our Shep.

That's the way he is.
He's not very good at goodbyes.

Do you know
how long ago he left?

Yeah, about, uh, an hour ago.

He went to the plaza
to grab a bus to the airport.

If you hurry.

- Can you call me a cab?
- I believe I can.

[instrumental music]

Here. Gracias.

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[coin clinks]

Hate to break it to you, but
those wishes rarely come true.

[chuckles]
I thought you left already.

Yeah. Missed the bus.

Next one will be along shortly.

- Where is Eric?
- I broke it off.

He's a great guy,
just not the guy.

I see that now.

I've felt more like myself
in the last few days

than in the last ten years,
and in a huge way

that's, that's due to you.

- I don't know.
- Oh, I do.

You helped me rediscover
who I am..

...what I'm passionate about,
what makes me happy..

...who makes me happy.

Come on, Kate,
we talked about this.

- It's just--
- A fantasy?

No. No, you're wrong.

There's..

...there's something real here.

If you don't feel it,
I'll, I'll walk away.

[bus engine rumbling]

Look, I, I get it.

You've been hurt..

...but if you get on that bus
right now..

...then it might be you
who's throwing away something

really good.

So please let me in.

[bus honking]

I should go.

Hey.

[sighs]

You said this..

...was to help find your way
when you're lost.

I hope it works.

[exhales sharply]

[sniffles]

[instrumental music]

Kate. Hold up.

I forgot something.

[music continues]

I've been waiting 20 years
to do that..

[chuckles]
You know, I think I have, too.

[chuckles]

What about Tahiti?

Never heard of it.

[chuckles]

Besides..

...I think I found
everything I need right here.

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Thank you.

Ah, fresh air, warm breeze.
I've missed this place.

Ah. I know what you mean.
Another perfect day.

- Ah, thank you.
- Ah, thank you.

I say we hit the beach running.

- Yeah?
- Snorkeling on the reef.

Let's take a catamaran tour?

I don't know, I was thinkin'
about lounging by the pool

maybe doin' a little paperwork.

[laughs]
Not funny.

- Mm-hmm?
- No.

Welcome to paradise.

Ah, there's a familiar face.

Shep tells me that
you're activities director now.

- 'Congratulations.'
- Thanks.

'That didn't take long.'

Well, I was taught by the best.

'So great to have you two
back here.'

I see
you have the honeymoon package.

So how's family law
treating you, Shep?

Well, to be honest,
it took a little getting used to

wearing a suit again

but it's a pretty
incredible feeling

bringing people together.

I think I found my calling.

That's great.

Excuse me, miss. Is this you?

- 'Yeah.'
- Would you sign my book?

Sure.

- What's your name, honey?
- Josephine.

Josephine. Perfect.

There you go.

And remember, Josephine,
just like Peg the Platypus

you can choose to be
whoever you wanna be.

[instrumental music]

Feels kind of funny
to be here as a guest.

I guess this won't be
a working vacation.

You know what?
That suits me just fine.
