[opening theme music playing]

You know what they've
come up with now?

Male beauty
contests.

What's new about that?
They've had Mr. Universe

and Mr. America contests
for years.

I am not talking about
body building stuff.

I am talking about
beauty contests.

With models.

They have
a swim suit
competition.

Guys parade
up and down
in their tuxedos.

I bet they even have
Mr. Congeniality.

So what?

Aren't we looking
for equality
in the sexes?

Hey, don't get me
started on that.

All I am saying that
men aren't supposed
to be pretty.

Men are supposed
to be men, not parade
around in bathing suits.

Not even on the beach?

That's different.
If this were Hawaii,
that would be different.

Funny you should
mention Hawaii.

-Why?
-That's part of our
next assignment.

You're kidding.
You mean you...

Come on, you're kidding
me, aren't you?

We go where
we're needed.

That's great. Where
are we gonna be staying?

How does this sound?
The Hawaiian Sands.

-Turn left here.
-Oh, right.

"The Hawaiian Sands"?
That's great.

Swaying palms...

Tropical winds...

-Pull over here.
-Oh, great.

[humming]

Boy, Jonathan.
I never thought...

Me in Hawaii.

Oh, man.

Jonathan,
I got to tell you,

I never thought
that we would--

Aloha.

That's cute, Jonathan.

Cute.

[Jonathan] Excuse me.

We're looking
for the manager.

You found her.
What do you want?

[Jonathan]
I understand you have
an apartment for rent.

Who told you that?

A friend of mine lives
around the corner.

Probably
that old busybody,
Watkins, huh?

Hey, look, if you don't
have a vacancy, we'll just--

I didn't say that.
I've got an apartment.

I was just wondering how you
found out so soon. That's all.

Oh. Can we see it?

Well,
it's kind of small.

Oh, here. Let me give you
a hand.

I don't need
your help.

My name's
Jonathan Smith.

This is Mark Gordon.

I'm Aulani.

What do you do
for a living?

Different things.
Odd jobs.

I could use a handyman
around here.

You don't manage this
all by yourself, do you?

Well, I have this one friend
who's supposed to help me
out around here.

But lately he hasn't been
too reliable.

Like I said,
a little small for two.

It's fine.
We'll take it.

OK. Come on over to my
place and we will get
paperwork out of the way.

Were you serious about getting
somebody to help you around
here?

You're looking
for break in the rent?

Just trying
to be friendly.

I might take you up
on that.

Here's your receipt.

You understand the rent
is higher only because
you're month-to-month.

No, that's fine.

[knock on door]

Aloha.

[Aulani]
Where have you been?

I've been looking
for you.

I went to the store.

They got fresh
poi in... And mango.

Look at this laumau.

It won't taste
like the ones
in kaimuki.

Nothing
grows right here.

What's wrong
this time?

These two gentlemen
just rented
apartment seven.

And he faucet
in the kitchen's
still leaking.

I thought you
were gonna fix it.

You rented it already?
That was quick.

Don't worry.
I'll take care of it.

Just as soon as I take
the rest of the stuff
back to my place.

And what about the gas leak
in Mrs. Herman's?

I didn't find
any leak.

I think Mrs. Herman
just likes to complain.

Well, I don't like it when she
complains it to me.

I might be able
to help with that gas leak.

I used to work at installing
a plant since I am eight
if you don't mind.

You'd be doing him a favor.

Give him more time
for doping off

or whatever you're
doing nowadays.

You got something
on the side?

No, some errands
just piled up.

And I've been trying
to take care of them.

I'll meet you back
at your place.

While you're doing that,
I'll go see what I can do
with Mrs. Herman.

Let me have
the screw.

That manager,
Aulani...

She always
like that?

What do you mean?

Hand me the phillips.

You know, growling
and picking on people
all the time.

Don't pay
any attention to her.

Her bark is worse
than her bite.

I am glad to hear that.

She's got one
fierce bark on her.

Well, a lot of bad
has happened to her.

You mean
being crippled?

That and a lot
of things.

But mostly that.

She was a big star
in Hawaii.

What? Her?

Hey. Don't judge her
by the way she is now.

When she danced,
it was the best.

It was like a breeze
blowing through trees.

And sing?

Oh, like an angel.

Well, what happened?

She was on her way to church

to sing for a special
thanksgiving service.

Truck hit her
broadside.

Driver was drunk
out of his mind.

The doctors
never expected
her to live,

much less
walk again.

Then when she
started to get
better,

they told her she would
be stuck in a wheelchair
the rest of her life.

And there was nothing
she could do about it.

Doesn't look like
she believed them.

Aulani doesn't like
people to tell her

what she can
or can't do.

I tell you I've got bills
to pay,

and I count
on that check.

Give me a break.
I can't deliver
what I don't have.

It should've been here
four days ago.

I know. What do you want
from me?

Did you check back
at the post office?

You know how they always
losing things there.

Did you ever think maybe
the trucking company
didn't sent it out this month?

They never
make a mistake

the whole time
they've been paying.

There's always
a first time.

Maybe you should
go yell

at the trucking
company.

Aulani,

I found Mrs. Herman's
problem. Just had a valve
that was sticking.

You'd have thought that clown
Danny would have known that.

I doubt it.
Unless you knew where to look,

you'd miss it nine
times out of ten.
I was just lucky.

Are you serious
about wanting to help?

[Jonathan] Sure. Why,
you got another gas leak?

No, no, no. I need
a ride downtown tomorrow.

And I'm not sure Danny's
not gonna be off on one
of his errands.

Yeah. Sure, any special time?

Earlier the better.

You got it. Eight o'clock?

[Aulani] That'll be fine.

All right then,
I'll see you at 8:00.

Hey, you got a problem?

I guess so.
But darned if I can
figure it out.

It was running fine
an hour ago.
And now nothing.

Want me to take a look?
I know a little about engines.

Yeah. Sure thing.

Except I think it's too late
to do any good today.

I have to be at work
in an hour.

-You work nights?
-Yeah, I sing
at the Club Waikiki.

You're kidding?
What do you sing?
Hawaiian songs and stuff?

Mostly stuff.

Boy, I love Hawaiian music.

How are you gonna get to work
without a car?

I'll catch the bus,
no problem.

Hey, no way. I'll drive you.

I can't ask you to do that.

Besides, the bus passes
right near the club.

It'll take you twice
as long on a bus.

I got a perfectly
good car right here.

I'll tell you what.

You and Jonathan
drive me to the club,

then the both of you stay
and watch as my guests.

-Hey, I wasn't angling for--
-I know that.

Come on. What do you say?

All right. You got a deal.
Give me five minutes
to change.

-You got it.
-All right.

Jonathan. Jonathan,
guess where we're
going tonight.

To the club to see Danny's
show. Get dressed, I don't
wanna be late.

I should have known it.
I should have known it.

Any time anything mechanical
breaks down,

and you're within
a half a mile of it.

Hey, listen, you enjoy

-Where are you going?
-I gotta work
on the assignment.

[man] Okay, let me
hear it again.

Aloha!

[crowd] Aloha!

Good evening.

Where's your partner?

He's still back at the club.

He's waiting for Danny
to finish his last set.

Two shows?

He must be some kind
of glutton for punishment.

Mark? He's crazy about Hawaii
and anything Hawaiian.

Then what's he doing
in that phoney club?

You never let up, do you?

How did you like it?

I thought the show
was terrific. Danny's
a great entertainer.

He's a clown.

He's a clown.

Come on. You think singing
"I'm the Cockeyed Mayor
of Kaunakakai"

and making all those funny
faces, you think it's good?

Well, the audience certainly
did. They loved the show.

He used to sing with me
back home in Kauai

Oh, he was a real
singer back there.

You should hear him
sing our songs.

Like Akaka Falls
and Kalama'ula, Kuu Ipo.

Music that had real
meaning for us.

Not those hapa haole songs

like the Princess Poo-Poo-Ly
Has Plenty Papaya.

Come on, those kinds of songs
make him look like a clown.

Let me ask you a question,

if you love Kauai so much,
why didn't you ever go back?

Well, it's time to go to bed.

Would you just bring
in my chair for me?

That's fine. Right there.

You still haven't answered
my question. Why didn't
you go back?

Nothing back there for me.

Oh, that's not true, Aulani.

What do you know about it?

Well, I'd say that someone
who was as famous
as the Waikiki Nightingale

would have no trouble
finding an audience back home.

You know who I am?

Come on, anybody who
has spent any time in Hawaii
knows who you are.

That was a long time ago.

A long time.

What brought you here?

You ask too many questions,
you know that?

Yeah, I know that.
What brought you here?

When I was 19,

I worked every
hotel on Waikiki.

I was a big star in Hawaii.

Then one day
this fellow from the mainland,

came backstage and said,

"We're gonna do
a big Hawaiian show
in Las Vegas."

Build it around me.

And all of my friends said,
"You'd better not do it.

Hawaiian shows
don't work on the mainland."

The magic fades, you know,
when you leave the islands.

It fades.

Gotta have--
Gotta have tropic nights.

Have to have trade winds,
whatever.

I knew better.

The show closed
in three weeks.

And you stayed here.

I wasn't gonna let all
those people say,
"I told you so."

No way.

I'd go back
when I was good and ready.

When I was a big star here,
like I was back in Honolulu.

Then, of course--

Then, of course, the truck.

And Danny was in the show
with you?

Oh, sure.

One of my backup singers.

What about him?
Why didn't he go home?

He likes it here.

He's got no drive.

He wasted his talent.

Hey, what are you writing?

A book about
Hawaiian has-beens?

No, no. I'm just interested.

Yeah? Well, I'm interested
in going to bed.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Don't forget my
ride tomorrow.

I won't forget, 8:00.

Good night, Aulani.

All right, Miss Kealoha,
let's stop beating around
the bush.

Just what kind of a shakedown
are we talking about here?

What do you mean, shakedown?

You think I'm faking this?

No. Not at all.

I know that injury is genuine.

I also know that that
particular claim
was settled long ago

and with a rather
large payment.

I know that. I was there
and I signed those papers.

Then what are we talking
about here?

I'm talking about
the other cheques.

The ones that you send to me
every month.

Miss Kealoha, there have been
no additional payments.

Are you trying
to tell me that I'm--

Just a second, Aulani.

Are you saying your company

has not sent Miss Kealoha
a cheque each month?

Not to my knowledge.

And it couldn't be done
without my knowledge.

Aulani,
were they company cheques?

They were cashier's cheques.

Drawn on the Western Bank.

Well, there you are.

We don't even do business
with that particular bank.

[Mark] It's open.

-Have you seen Aulani?
-Jonathan drove her downtown.

-What for?
-Well, she said
something about

a trucking company
not sending the monthly
cheque.

She's gonna go down
to talk to them about it.

Dumb. Dumb.

Hey, you gonna be all right?

Jonathan, stay
for a minute or two.

It's scary.

Somebody has been sending me
money every month.

Money that's been keeping
me alive all these years.

Oh, I think that's
a little strong, don't you?

No, it isn't.

Without those
cheques every month,

I don't know how I
would have gotten along.

I've come to depend
on those cheques.

I have a feeling now, I--

I'm not gonna get
them anymore.

Yeah, well, maybe that's
a blessing in disguise.

Easy for you to say.

You're not a cripple.

How am I gonna come up
with that kind of money
on my own?

Oh, come on, Aulani.

You've still got your mind,
your voice, your hands.

You could go home
and make a good living.

You want me
to sit around Waikiki,

making coconut hats
for those haole tourists?

No, thank you.

Not Aulani.

[knocking at door]

I'll get it.

Oh, I didn't mean
to interrupt.

What do you want?

This is for you.

The mailman
must have put it in my box

a couple of days
ago by mistake.

What is it?

Must be your monthly cheque
from the trucking company,

I should have noticed
it sooner, but, you know,
I let my mail pile up.

Sorry. Well, see you later.

Take care.

-You could have said,
"Thank you."
-What for?

Danny's the one who's
been sending you those
cheques, and you know it.

He's been lying to me
for all these years.

What do I wanna thank him for?

Well, maybe he wanted
to save you
the embarrassment

of taking money from him.

You know, as a lie,
that's about on par
with the tooth fairy.

It's still a lie.

Would you have taken the money
if you knew it was from him?

-No way.
-Why not?

"Why not?"

I don't wanna be obligated
to anybody.

He doesn't want you
to feel obligated to him.

He loves you.

Oh, sure.

He's madly in love with me,
come on.

What's the matter
with you, Aulani?

Why do you think he's been
taking care of you all these
years?

And I'm not just talking
about the money.

I'm talking about running
errands, fixing things
around this place.

He feels sorry for me.

No, he doesn't.

He doesn't have to,
you're too busy
feeling sorry for yourself.

I don't have to sit around
and listen to this.

Where do you get off?

Just where do you get off
thinking you've got the right

to butt into other
people's business?

Where do you get off thinking
being handicapped

gives you the right
to take and never give?

Not again.

Yeah.

-And you had it running
good too.
-Yeah.

I got a feeling
I know what
the problem is.

I don't think there's anything
we can do about it right now.

You've gotta
be someplace, right?

How did you know?

Intuition.

Come on, I'll give you a lift.

No, really. I can't
impose again.

Hey, you're not imposing.
We're friends, remember?

We stayed in his great hotel
on Waikiki.

You could walk
through the lobby
of this place,

right onto the beach,
it was great.

Then we went to see
everything, the Polynesian
Cultural Center,

the Arizona Memorial,
Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head.

Oh, boy, was that place great.

Hey, I forgot to ask you,
where we going anyway?

Anywhere around
17th and Carpenter.

Hey, I'll take you right
there. You just say when.

You know what got me most
was the water.

Is it always that warm?

Oh, yeah. All year round.

What a place.

You can let me out here.

We're not to 17th yet.

Oh, that's okay.
We're close enough.

-Thanks for the lift.
-You want me to wait?

Oh, no. I don't know
how long I'll be.

-So I'll take the bus back.
-Okay.

Thanks, Mark.

Hey, Danny.

Danny.

Come on, get in.

Hey, I'm parked
in a bus-loading zone,
it's against the law.

Danny, come on. Take it easy.

I'm sorry.

You wanna talk about it?

No.

-Sometimes it helps.
-No.

Come on, maybe you'll find out
it's not so bad, huh?

You're right.

It's not really that bad.

Could we stop on the way back?

I'd like to get Aulani
some papaya juice.

It's her favorite.

You got it, pal.

You gonna be okay?

I'll be fine.

You're sure?

Would you come with me
to Aulani's?

I have to tell her something--

You need a little
moral support, huh?

Yeah.

You got it.

[Aulani] It's open, come in.

I brought you
some fresh papaya juice.

Well, put it
in the refrigerator.

I like it cold.

Aulani.

I'm going home.

So? Go home.

No, I mean really home.
To Hawaii.

How long will you be gone?

Forever.

I'm not coming back.

Why?

Because I didn't thank you
for lying to me about
those cheques?

Hey, I never asked
you for money.

It had nothing to do
with the cheques.

Then why?

Because, it's my home.

And what about your job?

You think you're gonna
get a job back home?

You're only a backup singer.

I don't care.

I'll be where I wanna be.

I hope you'll be all right.

I'll be fine.

What, you think I need you?

I let you hang around
because I felt sorry for you.

Go on.

Go back.

Well, go on.

[recorder playing]

I gotta tell you, Jonathan,
I don't blame him.

I mean, all the stuff
he does for her and she
treats him like dirt.

I know, Mark.
She treats him that way

because she's frightened
and she's afraid.

What are you talking about?

Danny's all she's got.

He does everything for her.
She's totally dependent
on him.

And in a way,
she hates him for it,

because she's afraid
someday he'll be gone.

Yeah, he'll be gone all right,
and it will be her fault.

Oh, no. He is not leaving
because of the way she
treats him.

If that were the case,
he'd have been gone
a long time ago.

No, he loves her
too much for that.

Then why is he going home?

I think he's going
home to die.

Yeah, beautiful
sky tonight, huh?

The stars look close enough
to touch.

The sky is clearer in Kauai.

Oh, the Garden Isle.

-That where you're from?
-Yes.

You know there is a god
when you see Kauai.

Mark tells me
you're going back.

Yes, I leave
day after tomorrow.

They're having a goodbye
celebration for me

at the club tomorrow night
after the show.

Sort of a bon-voyage party.

That should be fun.

-Aulani going to the party?
-No.

Did you ask her?

You don't know Aulani.

She doesn't go out

and she doesn't want people
to see her.

I've tried before, many times.

I've tried to get her
to sing again.

I've tried to get her
to go back to Hawaii.

It's no use.

So I say to myself, "Danny,

stop wasting your time
hanging around
where you're not wanted."

Time to enjoy myself.

Lots of pretty women in Kauai.

You know, you're not
a very good liar, Danny.

You love Aulani, don't you?

Don't you?

Four years ago,

I had an operation.

It was nothing.

My gall bladder.

In the hospital
a few days and out.

They gave me
a blood transfusion.

Big deal, right?

I have AIDS.

I am so sorry.

Does Aulani know?

No.

I don't want her pitying me,

and I don't want her there
when it begins to happen.

And I don't want her to see.

Jonathan,

I know what's gonna
happen to me,

barring some miracle,

or some decision
by the government

to spend more money
saving lives than taking them.

But what's going to happen
to Aulani?

It's always Aulani, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm tired.

I think I'll go up to bed.

Will you come to the club
tomorrow night?

It should be fun.

Mark and I will be there.

[tv playing]

[knock at door]

Come in.

[laughing]

Oh, Danny.

Boy, this is a funny show.

I thought you left
for Kauai already.

No, I leave in the morning.

Oh, yeah?
Well, have a good flight.

I will.

This is so crazy.

I thought you might
like this plant.

I can't take it with me
and I don't want it to die.

Leave it over there.
Leave it over there
on the table.

Well, I better get going.

I have to work tonight.

Aloha, Aulani.

Aloha, Danny.

[switches off tv]

Aloha.

[knocking at door]

You all set?

-Yeah.
-All right.

Hey, I like your shirt.

Oh, well, you know, I wanted
to wear something Hawaiian
for your show.

-Where's Jonathan?
-He said he'd meet us later.

Showtime.

You can't live in the past.

Why not?

Better than the future.

So. Danny was crazy in love
with me, right?

He's got a funny way
of showing it.

He's going back to Hawaii,
in case you haven't heard.

Yeah, I heard.

I always knew
he would someday.

In a way, it's a relief.

He was always hanging around,
talking about the island.

At least now I'll get
a little peace and quiet.

You're really frightened,
aren't you?

Me? Of what?

Of being alone,

of losing the only person
who ever really cared
about you.

Are you back to that
really-cared-about-me
business?

He's going.

He's walking out.

He makes me depend on him
all these years,

and then suddenly he leaves.

Of course I'm scared.

Who's gonna take care of me?
Who's gonna help me?

Would you listen
to yourself?

"Who's gonna take care of me?
Who's gonna look after me?"

Did you ever stop to think
there are other people
in this world besides you?

You don't know
what you're talking about.

You're not crippled.

[Jonathan]
Oh, I know you're crippled.
How could I forget it?

You talk about
it all the time.

You know how many
handicapped people there
are in this country?

Do you?

Thirty million.

And I'll tell you something
else. Most of them--

Most of them are trying
to put their disabilities
behind them.

They want jobs, they
wanna work and be part
of this society.

They don't just sit around
and feel sorry for themselves.

Why don't you get out of here?

Go be with Danny who
loves me so much he
leaves me a lousy plant.

See this?

After all these years,
this is what I get.

As matter of fact,
I don't wanna take
care of this plant.

Take it. Let him take
care of it himself.

After all these years
he took care of you,

you can't even
take care of his plant.

That's right.

I can't.

He cared more about
this lousy plant
than he did me.

Danny cares about all life.

Life becomes very important
when you're dying.

What do you mean?

Danny is dying.

What are you saying?

That's not true.

Oh, yes, it is, Aulani.

No. He's lying
if he told you that.

Yeah, he had an operation,
but it wasn't cancer.

It was benign.

Oh, he's just looking
for sympathy.

He has AIDS.

He got it from the blood
transfusion.

That's why he's going home.

Wait a minute.
What are you saying?

Why didn't he tell me? Why?

Because he didn't want you
to pity him.

And he didn't want you
to see him when it got bad.

You're not the only one
with too much pride.

You've needed him
all these years.

Now he needs you.

Thank you all very much.

As most of you know,
tonight is my last show.

I am going home
to my lovely Kauai.

I'll miss you all,

but it's time to move on.

I only wish that...

That maybe--

[Aulani singing in foreign]

They still like us.

Maybe we could get
the act together
in Kauai again.

You'd go home?

To be with you,
I'd go anywhere.

-Aulani.
-I love you, Danny.

I love you.

I was so afraid
to say it before,

because I didn't believe
you could really love me
the way I am.

But love goes
beyond all things.

I know that now.

Please let me be with you.

I love you.

And I need you.

And I love you.
