And I can't stop

Captain! Captain!

Slow her down, Chen.

Hey! I got a strike!

What have you
got, Mr. Morgan?

I don't know, but it's sure
putting up a fight.

Don't let
it get away.

Oh.

Maybe you better
give me a hand.

Right.

Watch it.

Yeah.

Okay, Mr. Morgan,
she's all yours.

Watch yourself.

Thanks. Heart attacks
are so common at his age.

I couldn't stand
burying him at sea.

Arthur, let's get it straight...
you reel him in.

Will you shut up
and give me another Dramamine?

Open your mouth.

There you go, sport.

Okay, Chen.

Let's haul it in.

Okay, Chen, now.

Here we go.

Put a canvas
over it, Chen.

Where is it?

It's in the bow,
Mr. Morgan.

Oh...

Watch it.

I like the way you did that.

Thanks.

Ahoy, Kingfisher!

Ahoy, West Wind!

We'll race you, Ross!

For what? You know
I can't beat you!

A sailboat take
a fast sportfisher?

I let them win.

I can see why.

They're girls.

See you at the dock, Ross.

It sure is a beauty.

Which one?

The boat.

Sharp, isn't she?

Oh, real yare, Jack.

Ross.

Why don't you relax

and come get
some sun with me?

Uh, why don't
you check

and see if your
husband's all
right, huh?

No.

Take a look, Chen.

Mr. Morgan...
he's sleeping.

That's him.

Don't you feel sorry
for me?

In a way, yeah.

You must get
a lot of this.

Quite a bit.

You'd think
if nothing else

the fish smell
would keep them away.

And you want
to keep them away?

No, no.

I like girls.

But not as much
as the boat.

I live on the boat.

I'd like to own her.

What's stopping you?

Money.

That shouldn't be
a problem for you.

You must be kidding.

No, I wouldn't do that.

I don't give
to organized charity

but there's a big charge
in doing it this way...

individual cases.

Mrs. Morgan, I
don't accept charity

from anybody.

I have to earn
what I get.

You would, honey.

You would.

Ross. Oh, hi.

Say, when
are you going

to teach those daughters
of yours

how to stow a sail, huh?

Ross... Mr. Morgan liked the boat.

He'll probably charter again
as soon as it's calmer.

Ross, can I talk to
you a minute, please?

What's the matter Papa Stavros?

Nothing, nothing.

Well, there's something
bugging you.

The doctor told him
a bug is bugging me.

Oh, I'm sorry, I...

Today he tells us
we have to move

to a dry climate,
like Arizona.

Like Arizona?

Arizona.

Papa just learned English
so they want him to move.

What language
they speak there, Ross?

Mama, please,
this is not a joke.

Don't worry, Ross,
we won't move away so fast.

But if
you're sick...

Sick?

A woman isn't as young
as she used to be

so everyone
looks for a reason.

Then it's
not serious?

Of course it's serious. No, of course it is not.

Don't listen
to him, Ross.

And if he tells you
he has to sell the boats

also don't listen.

You come to our wedding
anniversary

on Wednesday night

and forget
about all this.

All right, Mama. Thank you.

Chen, you come, too.

Thank you, Mama.

Come on, Papa.

You have made enough
trouble already.

Papa...

The West Wind, too?

Yes.

Hey, Sam. Hi, Ross.

How are you?

She'll be off
in a minute.

Wait at the bar. Okay.

Long time no see.

Not such a
long time.

To what disaster do I owe
the pleasure of this visit?

You know?

No.

Only, uh, I know

when old head-on-the-shoulder
Robin comes on.

Ah, I come here plenty
when there's nothing wrong.

Oh, you come here

when you want
to sing a little

or cry a little
on my shoulder.

Which is it tonight?

Well, I don't feel
much like singing.

The Stavroses are
moving to Arizona.

They're selling all
the fishing boats

and the West Wind.

Good.

It's the only way
you'll ever get it

out of your system.

It's not that easy
to get it out
of your system.

Losing a home and a
job all in one day.

It might worth it...
if you lose the dream, too.

Now, look, Robin...

my father and I built
the boat together.

I wanted to own it.

I don't call
that a dream.

Your father is gone, Ross

and so is that part
of your life.

The worst thing
that ever happened to you is

when Papa Stavros bought that
boat and let you live on it.

Oh, I can always
count on you

to make that
speech, can't I?

You can count on me, period.

Here we go again,
here we go again.

Well, what do you expect me
to do, pretend I don't care?

No, but don't make
things tougher
than what they are.

You ready for your number,
Robin?

Let Sir Galahad do it,
okay?

What are you doing
to her, Ross?

Nothing.

Uh, he-he just came in
to tell me his troubles

and I told him mine,
that's all.

It's my fault.

It's nobody's fault,
Sam. It's just...

Geez, would somebody sing?

Sure, Mac,
sure.

Thanks, pal.

Hey, you sing, Ross.

Come on.
Favor to me, huh?

Great. Just great.

Any time you want to make it
permanent, boy, let me know.

Thanks, Sam.
I'm still a fisherman.

What's this?

The, uh, swinger
with the mink look
sent it over.

You must smell of
musk or something.

Excuse me.

I don't work here but, uh,
thanks anyway.

What's the matter,
pal, not enough
money for you?

Shh. Want me to have him...?

Aah, you sing
lousy anyway.

Thank you.

Actually, I thought
you sang very well, Mr...

He stinks!
The old stinkaroo.

Ross Carpenter. I'm Laurel Dodge.

Yessir, the real
old-fashioned
stinkarooni.

Who's the intellectual?

A bad idea I had.

Blind date.

He's blind, all right.

Wait a minute, pal,
you get your own dame.

Sam!

You had to call the cops,
didn't you?

Thank you.

Robin...
Go cry on
her shoulder.

Now wait a minute,
Robin.

to strangers.

I'm sorry I caused trouble
for you.

Hm, don't give it
a second thought.

Girls.

Now what do you want?

Uh, you dropped
your handkerchief.

Come on.

Well, how about,
"You got a match?"

Ah, cut it out.
You're not funny.

I just thought maybe
you'd like me to help.

This kind of help
I can get from my enemies.

Well, I wanted
you to know

that I never saw him
before in my life.

Honey,
I gathered that much.

Now you come on.

He said he was a
friend of my father's
and he wasn't.

That's all there
was to it.

Okay,
I believe you. Okay.

Okay. Who's the girl?

She said she was
an old football buddy

of my mother's,
but she wasn't.

Where do you live?

Down the road a piece.

Very far?

Not too far.

Let's go.

If you're trying to tire me out,
it's working.

What's the name
of that church?

The Old Church.
Everybody knows that.

Not everybody
where I come from.

I've never
been here before.

Where do you come from?

Grand Rapids?

No. Can't we go
back and go inside?

Corpus Christi.

No. You could rest.

Maybe sing
with the choir.

Prattville, Oklahoma.

No.

It's such
a nice night out.

Wouldn't you like
to go to some other
local landmark?

Only the one
you're staying at.

I'll show you
where I'm staying.

Good.
Shall I call a cab?

Um, oh, I don't think
that will be necessary.

Well, if you think

I'm going to walk
all over this town...

Well, here we are.

Here?

It's simple
and unpretentious.

Just reeks of history.

Reeks of something. Good night.

Hey, uh, aren't you going
to ask me upstairs?

They double the rent
for that.

Besides, what kind of a place
do you think this is?

Well, that's what
I'd like to find out.

Tomorrow. What time?

Lunch?

Okay, I'll pick you up. Where are we eating?

The Mariners.
Would you like to
see the menu, too?

I'll meet you there,30. You don't know where it is.

I'll find it.

You're sweet, Ross.

Then why am I leaving?

Would you like a room
or, uh, anything?

Uh, if you don't
mind parrots.

Parrots?
Yes.

You see, I have these
23 darlin' creatures

who travel with me
wherever I go.

Oh.

Of course, I always
have to make
arrangements far ahead.

But the Hilton people
weren't at all
understanding this time.

As a result,
I find myself

and these poor, feathery
little creatures left...

Oh, you'll have
to excuse me now.

It's their dinner time.
I've got to go feed 'em.

Bye-bye, y'all.

Bye-bye now.

Bye-bye now.

Parrots?

Ross.

Ross!

Ross!

Yes, sir.

You know Mr. Johnson,
don't you?

By reputation, yes.

Well, Mr. Johnson
is interested in the boats.

These the other boats?

Oh, yes, yes, and they're
in first-class shape.

Ross sees to that.

How would I know?

Let's shake down
the Kingfisher
and I'll tell you.

Ross, he-he...

He wants
to take a ride.

You're on, Skipper.

Hey, hey, don't
rev it up so much.

I don't want
burned valves.

If I want.

Cast off, Papa.

You coming aboard,
Papa?

No. I can't.
I got to stay with Mama.

He just doesn't want
to get hot-rodded around
out there by you.

You know something,
Mr. Johnson?

You may be right.

Okay, Captain Blood,
can we go home now?

Why not?

Think you can handle
a following sea?

Uh, would you
like to try?

No, no, no.

Uh, not unless
you can get some speed

out of these
washing machines here.

You want speed, huh?

Okay.

Are you going
to buy the boats?

At a price.

Yeah, I bet.

These are three
top boats.

Three? What's wrong
with the fourth?

The sailboat?
What would you do
with that?

Make like a gentleman
of the sea

if the old man
will throw it in.

It wouldn't look
good on you.

I have a girl it would.

Who'll teach
you to sail?

She will.

It's her second favorite
sport.

Your butterflies opened.
Two of them.

Well, that's the sea for you...
unpredictable.

We'll have to clean
the carburetors. Excuse me.

This shouldn't take a good
mechanic over five minutes.

Will you hold that
for me?

Keep it turned away
from you, Mr. Johnson.

It's a little messy,
you know.

Ross!

Ross!

Oh, hello,
Suzie Wong.

Oh, aren't we getting
a little repetitious?

Look, I came,
I saw, I left.

I leave now.

You were very late. I waited.

You waited long enough

to pick up some
aging gentleman.

That was my father.

Oh, "that was
no gentleman,
that was my father."

I'll make my own jokes,
thank you.

It's not funny.
It's sad.

Well, you didn't show.

He was in town.
So, I called him.

Why am I always explaining
something to you?

Maybe it's
something you do.

Look, I checked the hotel.
They never heard of you.

Well, you'll have
to trust me on that one.

Why?

Because I went
to the trouble

of asking the bartender
at that nightclub

where I could find you

and because you like games
as well as I do.

Come aboard and play.

Tell me the rules.

I got a feeling
you'd cheat.

That's usually what
the lady says to the gentleman.

I just came
to mend fences.

Ever try canvas?

Can you stitch?

I kicked the habit.

Sit down, I'll
get some coffee.

Save it for tonight.

What happens tonight?

You're taking me
to dinner.

Oh, I'm taking
you to dinner.

Good, we'll eat
at my boss's house.

Well, if you're broke...

Oh I'm not broke,
I'm not broke.

I hope you're not
one of those men

who's dreary about money.

"We'll go where I can afford
or we won't go at all."

Look, it's, uh,
Papa and Mama
Stavros's anniversary.

I'll meet you
at30 sharp.

That way you won't
have to go wandering

around any hotel
lobbies, okay?

30 sharp.

What's she doing here?

Is the fleet in?

Lay off, Robin.

Ditto.

Want to come aboard?

I wouldn't get aboard
Cleopatra's barge with you.

Then what'd you
come down here for?

I started out to apologize
for the other night.

I accept. I withdraw.

I didn't know
you had company.

Robin...

You're a fast worker.

I know you're upset.

I'm not upset,
I'm hurt... H-U-R-T.

You want to be.

Robin, you know how it
is between you and I.

I don't want
to hear that.

I know how it is
between us.

I also know
how it could be, okay?

Okay. Okay.

You're going
to come back this time

the way you always do.

All right, Robin,
all right.

Are you? Tell me.

I don't know.

Sir Galahad.

You're Sir Galahad, Don Juan
and Casanova rolled into one.

If it isn't this boat,
it's girls.

Girls, girls, girls.

And don't you
follow me!

Sir, I wonder
if you could tell me...

Scat! Get out of here!

Get out of here!
Scat!

Scat!

This is really your family,
isn't it?

Well, sort of.

I never knew my mother.

We lost her when
I was born.

And then, uh,
when my dad died

I-I had to sell the boat
to pay for everything.

So that's why I'm...

You don't have
to explain to me.

I'm sorry
they're leaving.

Quiet, please.

Quiet!

A toast from Linda and me
to Mama and Papa

for taking the trouble
to meet, marry

and get us born.

It was no
trouble at all.

Excuse me.

Many happy years to you,
Mama and Papa Stavros

and the best of health
in your new home

and this is for you.

Thank you, Ross.

Ross, what do I get?

You got Mama.

Oh!

Thank you, Ross.

Oh, Mama.

Mama, now please, please,
please don't cry.

Don't cry, Mama, please.
That's no good for you.

But it's so pretty.

Mama.Mama...

Oh, you spoil it. It's so pretty.

I know it's pretty,
but don't cry.

Please.

She's running just fine.

Just fine.

You really love
this boat, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

Why, my father
and I spent

every spare minute
working on it.

We've measured and sanded and
polished every board on it.

You know, my dad was
a great guy.

You'd have liked him.

And then, on the day
it was finished

it was the day he died.

Somehow the boat meant...

Aw, I'm sorry.

We're getting too serious.

We're supposed to be relaxing,
remember?

It's a nice day,
nice breeze.

Nice boy.

Nice girl.

I like you.

I don't know why.

Let's live to find out.

This is KOV Marine Channel

repeating Coast Guard
emergency weather report.

Hold the tiller, Laurel.

Small craft warnings
have been hoisted.

Vessels are advised
to seek shelter areas.

This is KOV Marine repeating
Coast Guard weather.

Should we start back?

Nah. No, we'll go
to Paradise Cove instead.

Chen Yung's folks
live there.

I'd like you
to meet 'em.

Pretty good catch,
huh, boys?

All right,
just put them on ice.

Ahoy, Kin!

Hey, it's Ross.

Ahoy, Ross!

Ahoy, Kin! Come and get us.

Boys, put away.

Good to see you, Ross.

We hear from number one son
Chen you got trouble.

Aw, small trouble,
big for me.

Uh-huh.

Oh, uh, uh, Laurel,
this is Kin Yung.

He runs the place.
Kin, Laurel Dodge.

How you do, Miss Dodge.

How do you do,
Mr. Yung.

Place not change so much,
huh, Ross?

Ah, place not
change so much.

Hello, there!

Hi!

Hi. How's the water?

Hi. How are you?

Hi, Ross. What a beautiful place.

Isn't it great?

What kind of fish
do they catch here?

Tuna, dolphin, all kinds.

Ross, Madam Yung
fix bok choy,
lob cheong

tim-shin pai quot,
moo goo gai pan

chow mein, chop suey...

drown trouble
in soy sauce.

What, no fortune cookies?

You go say hello, huh?

Mr. Yung's
a very nice man.

Yeah.

Madam?!

Madam Yung?!

Madam?

Oh, hello, Mai Ling.

Hello, Ross.

Hello, Tai Ling. Hello, Ross.

I'd like you
to meet my friend Laurel.

Hello, Miss Laurel.

Hello,
Miss Laurel.

Hello, Mai Ling.
Hello, Tai Ling.

They belong to
the family next door.

Ross?! Robin?!

You better go in now.

Oh, not Robin.

Definitely not.

Uh, Madam Yung,
this is Laurel.

A pretty name.
Sit down.

You sit down, too, Ross. Thank you.

String some pea pods.

String for your supper.

Ross got a new girl.

Shh!

You ever string
any peas before?

You know this one long?

Forever. 24 hours.

Oh. No harm done yet.

How's Chen, Ross? He's fine, madam.

Chen very fine son.
Very scarce.

Ross is adopted son.

Also very scarce...
except when in trouble.

You have to
stand in line

if you want to
lecture me, madam.

Start.

Me help, too. Yep, too.

Me help, too.

Miss Laurel,
you are guest.

You can clean shrimp.

Children, dinnertime.

You better go home now.

Bye, Miss Laurel. Good-bye.

Good-bye,
Miss Laurel.

Bye, kids. Good-bye.

Good-bye, Ross. Good-bye, Ross.

Work.

Excuse me.

Here you go.

I wouldn't want you
to starve to death.

It's not very
filling anyway.

Thank you.
I've had plenty.

Even if you full,
you hungry one hour later.

You make date
with Chinese girl

One hour later,
you want second date.

Old men remember
small things
very big.

Old Chinese proverb.

Dinner finished.

Uh... you wash dishes.

I'll show young couple
calm before storm from porch.

Young couple
look at own calm
before storm.

You help wash dishes.

Honorable ancestors do not
approve of men in kitchen.

Use honorable
detergent.

Ross... very pretty on porch
this time of night.

Shall we?

You'd better put
your sweater on.

Oh, what a beautiful view!

I don't know...
looks like rain to me.

Help. Ah!

Aah... There you go.

I like the Yungs.

They like you.

Do they like Robin, too?

You know how the Chinese
are... inscrutable.

They don't express
their feelings.

Isn't damp air bad
for stringed instruments?

It could only
improve this one.

It couldn't hurt it,
that's for sure.

Sing something lutish.

Gotcha!

You sing Chinese very funny.

"You sing Chinese
very funny."

Everybody wants
to be a critic.

You think you
can do better?

"A bee," uh,
that means, uh...

"Earth boy dream of angel"

"Make him have happy heart"

"In land of love"

"Angel dream
of earth boy"

"In land of love"

Me!

Aahh!

You better run.

I'll getcha.
I'll getcha!

Run home to your mama.

Too late for children to be up.

Run!

Too late
for anybody to be up.

Do you think she's trying
to tell us something?

She's hinting
at something.

I wonder what it could be.

You two go
to bed now.

A man's home
is his castle.

Kin, you sleep with
brother-in-law next door.

Kin doesn't
like to sleep

with
brother-in-law

because brother-
in-law snores.

You go sleep with
brother-in-law.

Sleep well.

Good night. Good night.

Ross, Laurel,
you come with me.

Laurel, you sleep with me.

Ross, you on couch.
Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

I must have gotten
the wrong fortune cookie.

Laurel. Laurel.

Laurel.

Ahoy, West Wind.

One if by land.

And two if by sea.

We can weigh
anchor, Admiral.

I'm ready.

It's not a fit night
for man nor beast.

It's not exactly
sensational in
here, either.

You frightened?

Terrified.
Let's go watch it.

Good idea.

Why is it you feel
so much more alive
in a storm?

I don't know.

I guess maybe it's
because everything

seems more intense,
more real.

This is real.

Yes.

You sound doubtful.

You're not too
real yourself.

Not yet.

You're not
married, are you?

Almost.

Is that what you're
running away from?

Yes.

Let's not talk anymore.

Do you
still love him?

He didn't love me.

I didn't ask you that.

I was hurt.

The whole thing
was such a lie.

What about him?

That's why my father
brought me here
from Chicago.

It's over with

but I'm just not
all together yet.

You're together
enough for me.

I couldn't stand
being fooled again.

It's me, and it is real,
isn't it?

We're getting wet.

Do you care?

I don't want
to care about anything.

Good-bye, Ross!

Good-bye, Miss Laurel!

Come back soon! Come back soon!

Bye!

Bye, kids! Good-bye, everybody!

MAI &
Bye!

Papa Stavros. Oh.

What are you doing?

I... I... I didn't expect you.
Hello, Miss Dodge.

Hello, Mr. Stavros.

What's the ledger for, Papa?

This is, uh...
marine insurance.

You know how they want
all the gear itemized.

Oh, yeah, I know,
I itemized it last month.

Well, this is
sort of an inventory.

Ross, I sold the boats.

You sold them?

All?

Johnson said,
"Take it or leave it."

I need the money to buy
the house in Arizona...

You don't have
to explain anything
to me, Papa, I know.

Well, I just...
I go home now.

How soon does
he take over?

Ross, the trouble is that...

I'll start getting
my gear packed now.

No, no, no.

Tonight, tomorrow, lots...

Good-bye, now.

Where will you live?

Chen can take me in
for a few days.

But what are
you going to do?

Yep. I'm going to see him now,
right now.

Chen?

Nope, Johnson.

I'm going to take you home
first, though.

I'll get a cab.
Go and see him.

Wait a minute.

You were going to let me
take you home, weren't you?

I live at
136 Bay Street,
apartment three.

I'll be waiting.

I don't know how long it's... I'll be waiting.

We knock, Skipper.

And we take advantage
of old men in trouble.

This was no Greek
bearing gifts. I paid.

Will you sell
the West Wind?

Depends. I don't own anything
that doesn't have a price.

How much? Ten thousand.

What'd you pay Stavros? Six.

You're a thief.

I'm a businessman.
You got the money?

Now you know
I haven't got any money.

Then what are you
wasting my time for?

Johnson, what'll you do
with the fishing boats?

Dry-dock... painting
and refitting.

They'll be out of
circulation for a while.

And so will you.

You want to go
to work for me?

Doing what? Fishing for tuna.

No dice, no dice.

But I'll tell you what
I'd like to do for you...

And I'll tell you what
you're going to do.

Get your junk off
my sailboat, now.

Whoops, hold on
now, Skipper.

You won't get that
monkey off your back

making foolish plays. Now, I don't need you...

Like choking up the
engine on the Kingfisher.

All that did was let me
knock the sale price down.

All right now,
do you want a job?

If I go to work for you

will you sell me the
boat for so much a week?

I told you,
everything's for sale.

But I won't promise
I won't sell her

if I get a good offer.

What do you pay
a boat captain?

Captain?
Don't you think

you ought to go out
as a deckhand first?

Oh...

60 bucks a trip.

If you're really bucking
for the sailboat

you can make two trips a week.

Commercial boat captains
get a percentage.

Not if they're inexperienced.

Then why take a chance
an paying me a salary?

This way, a dry trip
won't cost you.

The more I haul,
the more we both make.

What percentage?

Ten percent
above crew rate.

You're out of your mind.
Two percent.

Seven. Three.

Five, and I get to look
at the books.

Okay, Skipper, you got a deal.

Chen Yung goes with it.

Sure, sure.
That's how generous I am.

You're real generous. Want to drink on it?

Not unless yours
is a mickey.

You know, I like you.

You remind me of me.

Aah, what are you
trying to get me to do?

Blow the whole deal?

Be here tomorrow morning,
00 a.m.

Oh, and, uh,
you don't have to move.

You can stay on the sailboat. Oh, thanks.

I suppose you want me
to maintain it, too.

You will, Skipper, you will.

I came here to talk to you, Sam. Good.

Well?

You got room for
another singer?

The other dame sings, too?

Oh, oh, you're
becoming a specialist.

I sing.

I've been telling you that.

I'm available.

What made you decide now?

Oh, a little
matter of money.

I've offered you
money before.

I didn't need it before.

How much can I make?

Mmm, scale to begin with.

More if you're a big draw.

This has nothing
to do with Robin.

She stays.

Of course, she stays.

And, Sam, don't say
anything about it.

I'll tell her tomorrow, okay?

Where are you going?

I got a date.

There's a nice crowd here.

Why don't you go on now?

I can't tonight, Sam.

Fishing, singing and hunting?

That makes for
a pretty full day.

You're going to have
to give up something.

Come on, Ross.

I want to see
if I made a good deal.

All right, Sam,
all right.

Dr. Livingston.

Hi.

Somehow this isn't
how I imagined

the big reconciliation.

Uh, Robin, I was
going tell you...

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

Those of you
who are regular patrons here

know Ross Carpenter
who has sung here

many times before.

Tonight, Ross sings
for the first time

as a professional.

He'll be here regularly
from now on.

Now let's all wish him
a lot of luck.

That's what I was
trying to tell you.

I thought you were
going to let me tell
her, Sam. Thanks.

Sorry.

Sing it again!

Sing it again!

More!

One more!
More!

More singing! More!

Sing it again!

Ross?

Ross?

Sing it again!

More!
Sing it again!

One more!

Robin, I was going
to tell you about
it tomorrow.

When you go, you go
the whole route, don't you?

First you pull the rug out
from under my feet.

Now you want to take
the bread out of my mouth.

Oh, you're making it
sound complicated.

Sure.
Actually, I'm just
trying to keep

the wolf away
from the door.

From the boat.

I'm only singing for
the money to buy it.

So, I'm doing
two jobs at once.

Mm-hmm. It doesn't affect you.

You bet it doesn't.

Can I go now?

Anchors away.

Night, Sam.

You're a busy boy.

You're not going to get
on my back, too, are you?

The other one
was just here.

Laurel?

She went that-a-way.

Laurel!

Laurel.

People just don't
stand me up, not even once.

I'm not people. And this is your second try.

Wait a minute.

What were you
doing with Robin,
hedging your bets?

I'm working there.
Sam gave me a job

Fishing?
Oh, yeah.
Fishing.

The whole place is
packed with tuna
every night.

Very funny.

I do the fishing
in the daytime.

When I'm not working
for Johnson, I'm here.

When do you work at us?
Split shift?

I need the money.

Money isn't that important.

Oh, no, not when
you've got it.

It's important to me.

How come it's not
so important to you?

I mean, it's only
what you can buy
with it that matters.

I have to buy
the boat.

He's not going to give
it to me, you know?

And not much else
means anything now,
is that right?

That's right.
Until I do buy it.

I thought
it was Robin.

Now I almost wish
it was.

I could fight that.

You don't really
understand, do you?

I've never wanted
anything that badly.

Well, who and
what are you

that let you play it
this cool?

Did you forget
something?

I'm sure
she isn't cool.

And she really
understands.

Why don't you go
back to her?

No comment?

I'm just trying to
think of the right
answer for that.

Have you found it?

Yeah, I found it.

Let's see if we have
more luck

catching bait
than we did tuna.

We haven't had
much luck catching
anything yet.

Where's the bait?

We only got a net
full of water.

We haven't got
enough bait on
this boat

to charm a sardine,
much less a tuna.

Start the engines. Let's make
another haul.

Head out to sea, Chen.

Hey, kill the engine!

Take it out
of reverse!

Kill it!

Kill it!

Kill it!

Gee, Ross,
I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, we'll
save the pieces.

Old Johnson will probably
want to count them.

We go home now?

Yeah, we go
home now.

Unless you want to jump in
and catch a tuna by hand.

Oh, no. No!

Oh, no. Oh, no.

A lot different
than game fishing.

Or shrimping.

I used to do that
off New Orleans.

New Orleans.

I wish I was there
right now.

How long will
it take to fix it?

Too long.

How soon can we
get another section?

I don't blame you
for being in a hurry.

If that first trip's
a sample of the tuna

you're going to bring in
you'll have to live out there.

Mr. Johnson,
that's it.

I read more.

Maybe 20 pounds more.

Okay, one ton,
20 pounds.

How much does that come to? I don't know.

I'll have to check
today's prices.

Let's go to the office.

You got that
trick adding machine.

What's with the
"For Sale" sign
on the boat?

How do you get
to sell a boat

if you don't let
people know it's for sale?

I thought you had
a girl who just
loved sailing.

That was last week.

This week she likes
staying home, knitting.

Ah, you're funny.

Honey, what's today's price?

Listen, Johnson, why do you
keep bothering me

with the price of tuna?!

Now give me the one
on tuna.

Thank you, honey.

Your cut's $23. What?

So, figuring $110
for a new section

you owe me $87.

Hey!

Mr. Johnson,
do yourself a favor.

Don't go without
food or water
until you get it.

You screamed for
a percentage.

On profit, not loss.

So where's the profit?

Next trip...
if I make a next trip.

I got 20 bucks
says you will.

It's a bet.

I'll show you what
kind of a guy I am.

We'll call it square.

I'll take a beating
on the net.

Not good enough.

$23 and you pay
for your own net.

No dice.

All right.
You owe me $20
on your bet

because I'm through.

Five, ten

15, 20.

Skipper...

21, 22, 23.

You're a rough beginner.

I'm learning
from you, pops.

I'm learning from you.

Hi.

Hi.

Don't be nervous.

I come as a friend.

What are you
all made up for?

This is what the grownup
ladies wear to work.

This is called a hat.

Oh, a hat.

I got myself a job.

As what, Mata Hari?

No, selling ladies' hats.

There's nothing
mysterious about that.

Are you still mad at me?

No.

How are things?

Not too good.

He's selling the boat.

I know.

What about that lunch

we never got around
to having?

I can't.
I'm due at the millinery shop.

Don't you think
you're carrying this
a little too far?

But there's dinner.

I'd like to cook
for you.

Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

You'll find out
when you taste the cooking.

Do you remember
the address?

136 Bay Street,
apartment three.

And I'll be waiting.

Try not to detour
this time.

"Try not to detour this time."

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

Hello. Do something.

What? The oven, it's on fire.

Now, now,
don't get excited.

Whew.
You got any salt?

Oh, I don't use salt

just ground
pepper and oregano.

Ground pep...?

Are you looking
for the salt?

No. I'm looking
for a place to hide.

Well, if I have any
it would be up there.

Thanks.

This is salt.

I'm going to show
you something.

Oh.

It's an old wives' trick.

I think maybe it's a
little too well done.

Now how can you say that?

You don't happen to have an old
wife lurking around, do you?

It's kind of a late
thought, isn't it?

You never said. You never asked. No.

Now this is white wine.

You wouldn't happen
to have any canned shrimp

or crab meat around,
would you?

Yes, but the dressing
I bought's supposed

to go with cheese.

Have you got any oil? Oh, I don't mind the squeak.

Don't bother with it now. Salad oil.

Oh.

I have some oil I bought
from the drugstore.

Never mind. Forget it.

You see the little box?

Pick it up.

Atta girl.

Now put it in
your little hand.

Come on in here.

Now, light the candles...

and you take off your shoes

and smoke your
little corncob pipe

and dinner'll be ready
in a jiffy.

Papa's going
to cook the dinner.

Ow!

Umm... Mustn't
play with matches.

Shall we have our coffee
in the living room, madam?

Please.

Cream and sugar?
Black,
thank you.

Shall I drown that out?

The people next door have very
far-out tastes in music.

I don't know... I
kind of like it.

Maybe it's the way I feel.

Dinner wasn't that bad.

It's the best meal
I ever cooked.

Ross.

It's still the boat,
isn't it?

You think I'm
a little dingy

about this, don't you?

You can want a thing awfully bad
for the right reason

but you ought
to prepare yourself.

If she's sold?
Yes.

Well, the only good
thing about that is

I wouldn't have to work
for Johnson anymore.

Who did?

You did. Shh.

It's a fight.

You're out.

Well, I always said...

They're arguing about some
bracelets he gave her.

What did she say?

She says if he feels
that way about them

he can have them back.

He got them back.

She's working up
to bigger things.

They're not fighting.

I hope they're married.

Yeah, me too.

Just trying to make
them feel at home.

These walls not only have ears

they got hands, feet,
broomsticks and everything else.

My turn.

Ow!

Well, hello.

You're Mr. Johnson, aren't you?

If I'm not,
I'm stealing his liquor.

Bloody Mary? Laurel Dodge.

Well, come in and
close the door.

Won't you join me in my
sad and solitary vice?

I'm touched,
Mr. Johnson

but I'm here on business.

Oh, in that case,
I'll have this later.

Sit down. I'm better on my feet.

I'm told it's a must
in dealing with you.

Flattery will get
you everywhere.

I doubt it.

I'd like to buy the sailboat.

A lot of people would.

They come here
and talk about it
every morning.

I'm here this morning.

It's $10,000,
Miss, uh...?

Dodge. Like in Detroit.

You don't have to club
me... I'm reading you.

$10,000 is too much.

Probably, but
that's the price.

I know what you paid.

Everybody on
the waterfront

knows what I paid.

You have to want
to buy her more

than I want to sell her

and, uh, I'm
betting you do.

Not that much.

Good. Then we can
forget about the boat.

Have a little lunch,
take a drive?

Seven?

O'clock? Dinner?
That's even better.

$8,000,
that's all I've got.

Would you like me to
make you a little loan

till next week's allowance?

The interest
would be too high.

Well, stay a while.

I'm not as tough I seem.

I'm sure of that,
but you're as greedy.

I'm just trying
to be nice, honey.

If you want
to sweet-talk me, Mr. Johnson

do it in numbers.

Temper, Miss
Dodge, temper.

$10,000?

And you're calling me collect?

I've got $8,000
in my checking account.

I know, I just gave it to you.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

Then what are you going to do
with that much money?

I'll tell you when I see you.

Tell me now!

You'll only start making
a big thing of it.

Please, just deposit the $2,000
in my account and trust me.

Are you sure
it's nothing... medical?

Is that you breathing?

All right, who is he?

A marlin fisherman?

No, Daddy,
not that kind of fisherman.

Not marlin, tuna.

Tuna!

I'm going to write
that check now, Daddy. Bye.

Okay.

Thanks.

Mr. Johnson.

That must be it.

You're
from Alcoholics Anonymous.

You're gaping,
Mr. Johnson.

Uh, it's on
a Chicago bank.

It'll take
a few days to clear.

The boat can stay here.

I'm not asking you
to wrap it up for me.

Well, I, uh...

You're in the big
time now, Mr. Johnson.

Let's not be so shook up.

That I'm saving
for someone else.

Just one condition.

What's that?

That you don't tell
anyone I bought it.

I promise.

Now let me show you
what you bought, huh?

That won't be necessary.

Well, I have show
you how to sail her.

I wouldn't want you
to get your diamonds

caught in the rigging
or anything.

Thank you, but I'll
manage somehow.

How about that
drink, then?

To toast the new owner.
It's a custom of the sea.

I'll look
forward to it.

Please remember,
Mr. Johnson

I'm very serious
about keeping this a secret.

Want me to sign
in blood?

Would you?

Bring in another one.

Come on, Irwin.

That-a-boy, Irwin.

Bring in another one.

Hey, Chen, we're really
hitting them today, boy!

Bring in another one.

That-a-boy, Irwin, that-a-boy.

Bring in another one. Yeah.

Bring 'em in.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

What did you do,
hijack another boat?

Well, get 'em unloaded.
Fast.

You heard what the man said,
get 'em unloaded, fast!

Sure is a happy one, ain't he?

You got to say
one thing for him.

He's sure a...

He sure is.

Weigh 'em and
load 'em, fellas.

That's the last truckload.
Take it away.

What's that figure,
Mr. Johnson?

Gross weight. And that?

Today's price per ton.

What's that sneaky
little figure

over behind
the percent sign?

Sliding scale differential.

Now what does that mean?

Well, that means your share
is $71. 59 on the button.

Your differential friend

has thrown you a curve,
Mr. Johnson.

I make it out
$103 on the button.

Well, that's without
the sliding scale.

So was our agreement.

The bigger the load,
the smaller the percentage.

That's standard
business practice.

In what,
the numbers racket?

Everyone accepts it. Mr. Johnson...

in other words,
the more tuna I haul

the bigger your cut?

Now look, Skipper, I was nice
when you blew your first run

don't push me.

Johnson...

I don't want
you to be nice.

I'd rather
you'd be honest.

$71 is pretty good pay
for a day's work.

$103 is a little better

and that's what we
agreed on, remember?

$71. 59.

Count out the rest,
Mr. Johnson.

You just don't understand
business, Skipper.

Johnson.

The "For Sale" sign's
off the boat.

It usually is when you sell.

Who bought it?

That's classified material,
Skipper.

Pick up your money.

This just came in.

I know it's new.

But is it really me?

Oh, I think it
captures your image

extremely well, Mrs. Figgot.

Oh, now that one over there

has just a teeny weensy
bit more élan.

Oh, I don't think so,
this is...

I've always loved roses.

Oh... Oh...

This one is so
beautifully understated.

Don't you think?

Oh, absolutely muted.

I'll take it.
Put it on my account.

Yes, Mrs. Dick.

Now.
I must try...

Nope.

I'm sorry,
we ran out of boxes.

Oh, that's quite
all right, dear.

I just love the hat.
Thank you so much.

Bye.

Laurel, did you know the...

What is it, Ross?
Where is it?

It's been sold. It was mine.

I know.
You know?

If you knew, why didn't you
do something about it?

Are you just going
to stand there?

Could we get out of here,
please, I'd like to talk to you.

This is absolutely outrageous,
I will not stand for it.

I'm a customer and... Oh, Mr. Peabody.

I heard the sound
of conflict, Miss Dodge.

You must be the manager. Yes, madam.

I'm Mrs. Figgot.

Now that's a name
you don't fool around with.

I'm taking my coffee
break, Mr. Peabody.

Oh, Miss Dodge, Miss Dodge.

The-The penalty
for desertion under fire...

Mr. Peabody!
Yes, madam.

Laurel, how did you know
Johnson sold the West Wind?

Uh, I went down to
the docks to look for you

and they were just taking
the "For Sale" sign off.

Good afternoon.

Afternoon. Good afternoon.

Come with me, please.

May I take your order?

Oh, two coffees,
two salads, please.

Okay with you?
Mm-hmm.

And bring the coffee
now, please.

Thank you.

Ross, there's something
I must tell you.

The man I told you about...

Well, that wasn't the
first time I've been fooled.

With you...

With me, what?

With you
it was different.

It wasn't me before.

It was my money.

Oh, that's the mystery.

You're rich.

Yes.

Try to live with it.

Don't.

You don't know
what it's like.

No, I don't know
what it's like.

You get so that you look
at every man suspiciously.

I had to find someone
who'd love me for myself.

I've been very lucky.

Well, we've both
been lucky that way.

Well, why are you
telling me all this now?

I bought
the West Wind, Ross.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

I'm going with you.

What have I done?

Look, when I was a kid,
after my father died

I lived on what
other people gave me.

Clothes that other
kids had outgrown

that didn't fit me.

Toys that'd broken
and thrown out.

I even got to where I
thought the food I ate

was given to me
because someone had
finished with it.

I understand, Ross. No, you don't understand.

You can't understand.
And you never will.

A man has to work
for what he wants.

I have a right
to do this for you, Ross.

I love you.

I don't take handouts
from anybody.

I don't want to be kept.

Aren't we out working
a little early today?

You sing very well.

Thanks. I've heard tell
you're talented, too.

I want you to know
I'm sorry

about the way
things turned out.

Boo-hoo.

If it'll make you feel
any better, we had a fight.

Tough.

Do you know where he is?

You know, I ought to have
you thrown out of here.

I have to find him.

He does this
all the time.

He gets in a mood,
he just disappears
for a while.

Where?

Paradise Cove.

That'll be home now that
the Stavroses are gone.

You know, I'm being
much too polite to you.

I must be over the guy.

Ready, Robin? Sure.

Well?

I would like to thank you.

You'd better not.

Too late.
I already got my drink down.

May I use that man
out there?

I'll pay you for him. That all depends.

You want to rent him,
or buy him?

I want him to sail
the West Wind for me

to Paradise Cove.

Oh, I... I couldn't
possibly spare him.

There must be somebody
in this boat yard you can spare.

There's only one man
this business can spare.

That's me.

I'm sure of that.

I'll take you.

How much?

It won't cost you a dime.

Just what do you
expect from it?

Dinner Saturday night.

And that's all?

I don't have to push.

I know I'm irresistible.

Oh.

When can we start?

I'll get my hat
and go with you.

Ed, stand by
to cast off.

Yes, sir.

Make yourself comfortable.

I've always heard
that sailboats

needed sails to sail.

They do.

You didn't tell me
this had an auxiliary.

You didn't ask.

Well, I could have
done this myself.

I've been had.

Not yet.

I think your eyes
are a little bigger

than your stomach,
Mr. Johnson.

Guests don't work, Ross.

This one does.

We'd better
get it finished.

Radio says Paradise Cove
will have heavy rains

the next few hours.

Oh, they did, huh?
We find out.

Kapu! Kapu!

Ka-pu!

There you are,
my little kitty.

That's the first time
I ever saw a cat come
when he's called.

He must know
he's gonna be fed.

No food.
He tells weather.

It's gonna rain.

I heard it
on the radio.

What they know
about weather?

Oh, I suppose
Kapu knows.

White spots
in eyes if rain.

No spots, no rain.

No spots, no rain.

You'd better
stow this gear

if you don't want
to get it wet.

Very dangerous animal
when contradicted.

Oh, oh!

Oh, uh, terribly sorry.

I'll bet.

Chen.

Chen!

Yes, sir?!

Do you see anything?

Yes, sir!

Fish?

No, sir!

Captain! Hey, Captain!

Fish off the starboard bow!

Fish off
the starboard bow!

Oh. Thank you.

You're very kind.

This is WY two-seven-six-eight.

Calling marine operator. Over.

This is the marine operator.

Shh!

Come in, WY two-seven-six-eight,
come in.

Get me Paradise Cove.

Kin Yung house.

Emergency.

Ross, you stop now.

Save strength for party. What party?

Big catch, big party. Aah, I'd rather work.

I don't feel much
like a party.

You will, Ross.

Plenty wine, plenty girls.

Not interested.

Whew. It's hot.

So true. Sun is out.

Okay, okay, the cat
was right, wasn't he?

Should be. Very hep cat.

Ross! Ross!

What, madam?

Call for you
from number one son!

Okay, I'll be right there!

Be back in a second.

Chen on telephone.

Ship to shore.

This is Ross, Chen.

What's your location? Over.

About four miles south
of Paradise Cove.

We passed the West Wind
just now.

Laurel Dodge is on it. Over.

So what? She bought it. Over.

Johnson's on it, too.

It doesn't look good, Ross.

What's he doing on...?

Never mind. Thanks, Chen.

Thank you, madam.

Come on, Kin, let's get
in the skiff, come on.

What's up?
I'll tell you later!

Step on it, Kin. What's all the rush?

Laurel's on the West
Wind with Johnson.

Where?

About a half a mile
out, straight ahead.

All right, I step on it.

Why don't you
let go of me

and put this boat
back on course?

Well, don't worry.
She's on automatic pilot.

Open her up, Kin, open her up!

You want to fly, Ross?

If we can, yeah.

Okay, we fly.

Now we're flying, Ross!

Now I'll ask you
a question.

What's so special
in Paradise Cove?

You know what I think?
Ross Carpenter.

What about
Ross Carpenter?

I think you bought
this boat for him

or you bought him
for this boat.

Now, there's boy
on a man's errand.

Now take it easy. Relax.

I see 'em!

Hi, Skipper!

Just pull up alongside them!

Welcome aboard.

Ross!

Get off the white
horse, Skipper.

You've got it
all wrong.

Stop it, Ross.

Stop it!

Relax and enjoy
it, Miss Dodge.

You can't stop him. Come on, get up. Get up!

You finished? No, I'm not finished.

Yes, yes,
yes, you are.

You haven't got
the heart for it.

I'll tell you what
you're gonna do.

You're gonna to buy
this boat back from her.

Am I, Miss Dodge?

If he says so.

I say so. For you, anything.

Like I said.

Kin!

Come on out
and get us!

Bring it in closer, Kin.

Okay, Jump.

He still reminds me of me.

You know something?
I should win a medal.

What for?

For being the world's
biggest jackass.

Well, say something.

Okay. You're the world's
biggest jackass.

No. I thought the only
thing in the world

that could make me happy
was owning the boat.

But it isn't.

I'm over it,
I'm over it.

I love you anyway.

Hey, I'll tell you what.

We'll build a new
boat. You and I.

Is that a proposal
or a proposition?

Well, either you marry me
or live with me in sin.

Couldn't I have
a little bit of both?

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Here we go again.

Yea, yea, yea.
