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.
