Well, hi.

Hi there.

I'm Mac o'brien.

This is my wife Maggie.

Ah, yes.

The honeymoon suite is right up the stairs.

Oh....watch out for this one.

Next he'll be selling us maps to buried treasure.

Mmm, now that you mention it...

Oh...

Hi - Adam bricker.

Hi.

Welcome to our mother's day cruise.

Well, thank you.

Listen, do you have information on all the ports,

you know, that we stop in, because we've never visited

Mexico before, and we want to paint all the towns red.

Well, sure.

We've got some brochures over on the counter.

Let me check your cabin assignment.

Don't run off without me.

Oh yeah.

Mrs. O'brien,

you and Mac are in cabin three-forty-seven on...

Hey... you all right?

Yes...

Yes, I'm fine.

If there's any problem, I am the ship's doctor.

No, please, it's just... it's just all the excitement.

Really now I'm fine.

Good... good.

Stop flirtin' with the help, Maggie Mae.

See you later, Adam.

You bet.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Robert: Hi. We're the nobles.

Oh hello. Welcome aboard.

Julie McCoy.

Let's see.

Oh, you have adjoining cabins.

You're in aloha three-fifty-five, and aloha

three-fifty-seven for your father and mother.

She's not our mother.

Mary...

Look... why don't you kids go and explore the ship

while we unpack?

Yeah.

Come on I'll show you.

Where's the pool?

Where's the disco?

Give them some time, Bob.

We've only been married a month.

The cruise is a great chance for us all

to get to know each other.

Do you know how terrific you are?

Yup.

Oh...

Come on.

The train stops in minx for dinner.

But the borscht will turn the cat's tongue blue.

Burl, it's so good to see you.

Good to see you, mom.

You look great!

Thank you.

Oh, mom, listen, I want you to meet my boss.

Captain merrill stubing... he's our... captain.

That's why they call me captain stubing.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Nice to see you. Thank you.

Where's dad?

You haven't misplaced him again, have you?

You know how forgetful I am.

No, no, no.

He's supervising the luggage.

Oh.

Yes. You know how efficient your father is...

Elliot!

Hello there, burl.

Hi, dad.

You're looking well.

Thank you.

You look in the pink yourself.

Captain stubing.

Like you to meet my father Elliot Smith.

How do you do? How do you do?

It's nice to meet you, sir.

You got a fine son here.

Oh, you don't have to tell me.

You know he gave us this cruise as a present.

Well, it is mother's day.

And nothing's too good for my mom.

Come on, I'll show you to your cabin...

Walk this way.

Oh, it's not the same without my cigar.

But where you gonna find a good cigar these days?

Uhhh... this is the life.

Huh, Maggie?

Sun...sea air....

Oh... oh...

Oh, I wish joanne could have come with us.

Oh, honey.

Come on, joanne's happy where she is at college

with her friends.

The last of our babies.

Mmm it's gonna be lonesome at home.

Mac: No, no.

It's gonna be wonderful.

What, for the first time in thirty-one years, no more

diapers to change, no more lollipops stuck to my pants,

nobody botherin' me about the car keys.

Oh... oh heaven.

Oh, come on, Mac, you know you love kids.

Only other people's from now on.

I'm gonna go see where the

shuffleboard tournament's being held.

Mrs. O'brien, you okay?

I... I don't know.

I feel kind of dizzy again...

Guess I'm not a very good sailor.

I'd really like to take a look at you.

Okay.

But don't say anything to Mac.

I... I really don't want him to worry.

Be in my office in thirty minutes.

Okay.

You can imagine how I felt when I found out he really

was Reggie Jackson.

Hi.

Mind if I join you?

I didn't know we were coming apart.

So, dad... you enjoying the cruise?

Oh, sure.

I just hope I don't go out of business while I'm here.

Dad, come on.

This is supposed to be a vacation.

Will you stop worrying about the business?

Oh, son, I'm not really worried.

The business is just fine.

Where's mom?

Oh, she'll be here in a minute.

We're gonna take a stroll around the ship.

Gopher...

I mean burl.

Um...

Gopher.

Okay...

Gopher.

What're you gonna do for the show?

Uh, crew show.

Tomorrow night for mother's day.

Oh...

Featuring an evening with Isaac Washington.

Featuring three and a half minutes, tops,

with Isaac Washington.

Well?

Well...

Hey, don't worry about Smith.

Okay.

But you be sure and let us know.

Okay.

As soon as you know.

Okay.

Okay.

Next stop the kitchen.

Oh, no.

Don't tell me the chef is going to play his tribute to Elvis

on the spoons again.

It's either that, or he'll hum a medley of his

favorite recipes.

Some choice.

Recipe.

Hello.

Hi.

Can we have five dollars?

We want to get some postcards.

Five dollars for postcards.

Ah, we have a lot of friends.

Here's two dollars.

Make some enemies.

Ooh, let me pin that for you.

I can do it myself.

Judy...

It's all right.

It's not all right.

Apologize.

I'm sorry.

Could we go now?

Go ahead.

You can't make them like me.

There is no excuse for that kind of behavior.

Try to understand how they feel...

They don't want to share you with me.

I don't blame them.

Well, I want to share you with them.

There's been a big void in our lives since Meg died.

The kids need you as much as I do.

And I need all of you.

But you can't force them into accepting me.

They have to decide that for themselves.

Well, I'm just sorry it's so tough on you.

Anything worth having is worth working for.

I knew that when I said "I do".

You never know what you're gonna get

at these crew shows.

Remember last year?

We had an engineer who did his imitation of an anchor.

How was it?

Heavy.

Oh, by the way, when roz and I were in college, we used

to do a touching version of... Of "Sonny boy".

Dad... mom told me about that.

That's a great idea.

What's a great idea?

Mom... I'm gonna do Sonny boy tomorrow night

for the crew's show.

Of course it takes two people.

Yeah...

Do you want to do it with me?

Has your mother ever let you down?

Well then, let's go rehearse.

Me?

Rehearse?

Maybe you need a little rehearsing.

Honey, aren't we gonna take our stroll?

What... and give up show business?

Oh... see you later, honey.

I'm sorry to be so long.

I was just double checking your tests.

Is something wrong?

Well, we have good news and good news.

Hey...?

The good news is... you're not sick.

Okay... what's the good news?

Maggie... you're gonna have a baby.

Ah...

You all right?

Yeah...

Well see, I just wasn't expecting to...

Be expecting...

Hey... hey, that's wonderful, isn't it?

Yeah.

Hey, that's... that's terrible.

I have to tell Mac.

Doc: Well, yes...

A woman usually lets her husband in on this sort of thing.

Unless, of course, he happens to be planning a trip

around the world.

Hello.

Hi.

Good evening, ma'am.

Oh, don't look now.

Here she comes.

Where's daddy?

I don't know.

Your dad'll be down in a few minutes.

Business call.

He said to go ahead and order...

Mary, what're you gonna have?

I dunno...

Ooh, how 'bout the lobster?

I hate lobster.

How 'bout you?

I want to wait for my father.

Yeah it's a lot more fun with the family.

Look guys...

I'll level with you.

I've got a problem.

Can't go on like this.

I know it's not easy to accept me as part of the family...

And believe me, I'm not trying to replace your mother.

But I would like to, you know, fit in...

Maybe as friend?

You gotta help me.

What is it that you want from me?

We don't want anything from you.

I see.

Well, I... thought it was worth a try.

Your table's right over there.

Enjoy your dinner.

Here we are.

Good evening.

Hey, good evening.

How you doin'?

The captain is expecting you at his table.

Well, tell him to be patient.

I'll be there presently.

Not you.

Your mother and father.

May I show you the way?

Have a nice dinner.

You know your folks are really a gas.

Yeah.

And your dad seems like a really nice guy.

Yeah.

Don't you two get along?

Yeah, sure...

I guess.

You know my dad died when I was pretty young.

But I remember we used to go to the park on Sunday... and we'd

shoot baskets or fly kites... or you know,

just kinda...Hang out.

Well, my dad wasn't too much for hanging out.

That's too bad.

Yeah...

Maybe he didn't like me.

Will you look at those desserts.

I could eat 'em all.

Maybe I will.

Ah... I'm gonna start with that chocolate eclair,

'cause I gotta have it.

Maggie... oh, I tell you, these cruises are sensational.

Let's go to Alaska next, hah?

Yeah... get a look at glacier bay.

Um... hey... that's terrific, but...

Don't like Alaska?

No problem.

Here we have your Trinidad and Tobago...

And your Caribbean...

Or... or we could go for the big one.

Huh?

Take a year off...

Take a trip around the world....

Oh, Maggie, I tell you, the freedom we have now.

I feel like a kid again.

Mac?

Hm?

I have something to tell you.

Yeah.

Oh, I'll have the chocolate eclair.

Mmm... yes, what... what is it, hon?

Okay.

How would you feel...

I mean...

Okay.

What would you think if I told you...

Well, come on, come on, Maggie.

I mean, you know, the suspense is killing me.

Ah...

Okay...

If... if I... if I... if I have that chocolate eclair...

Oh, what the heck.

It's mother's day.

Oh... I'll just have a little cherry thing.

Or maybe an apple tart.

Oh well, let's... let's have a look at the whole thing.

Hey.

Hey, Mac! How are you?

Hey! Good evening. How

are you, doc?

Come on, Maggie may, let's show 'em how it's done, huh?

Huh?

'Cause dancin'... dancin' is my life.

Yeah, maybe we could just sit and talk.

Oh... well, all right.

I wouldn't want to make 'em look bad anyway.

Hey first, I'm gonna get us one of those fancy drinks.

Doc, would you find ginger a seat...And old Fred will be

right back.

All right...

Now there goes a happy man.

Now, he's happy.

Wait'll he finds out i'm pregnant.

You mean you didn't tell him?

Well, he's so busy having a good time making plans.

I can't get a baby in edgewise.

You're gonna have to tell him.

Yeah... maybe in my fourth month.

Here you go, Mr. O'brien.

Two pacific purple passions.

Hey, what are they?

Two bucks a piece.

Oh, I haven't danced

like that in years.

Where did you learn those moves?

In college I majored in applied disco.

You know, I...

I learned a few moves in college, too, you know.

Oh yeah?

Hm-hm.

Like this.

There we go.

I'm parched.

Oh, well now, that's not heavy work we've been doin'

there, ma'am.

Matter of fact, I was wonderin' if I could get you a

sarsaparilla to wet your whistle, or... or maybe even a

whistle to wet your sarsaparilla.

Choice is yours.

Well now, that's mighty noble of you, son.

And I'd be beholden to you if you'd flavor that sarsaparilla

with a little moonshine.

One whiskey and sarsaparilla comin' up.

How 'bout you, dad?

You want something?

No, noth...Nothing for me.

Thank you, son.

I'm fine.

Hold down the fort.

Evenin', Tex.

Tex?

I'm from Maryland.

Evenin', Mary.

Well, excuse us.

Never saw him kiss mom like that.

Hold it!

Honey, I'll...

I'll meet you back in the lounge.

I want to talk to the girls.

All right.

It's time we had a little talk.

Now I knew there would be a period of adjustment with

Lee, but it's gotten out of hand.

Well, why don't you two just tell me why it is you feel the

way you feel?

Well, you didn't ask us how we felt before

you married her.

I see.

I should have asked your permission?

Oh, daddy.

Look, I married Lee because I love her.

Why should that change anything between us?

What about mom?

Oh, I loved your mom, you know that.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of her.

When I look at you, I...

I see her eyes.

And you have her hair.

When Meg died, I thought I'd die too.

But we go on... we have to... And she'd want us to,

don't you think?

It's hard when you lose somebody you love, but that doesn't

mean you can't ever care about somebody else.

Or let somebody care about you.

Do you understand?

I guess so.

Sure, daddy.

Good.

Come on.

Isn't this fun?

Don't you think you're overdoing it just a little?

What?

Well, all this clowning around is fine at home,

but this is where burl works.

That man over there is his boss.

I'm afraid you're embarrassing your son.

I'm sorry...

I just wasn't thinking.

I get carried away.

Here we are.

Ta-da!

Hey, mom, I'll bet I can balance that cherry on the end of my

nose longer than you can.

Oh, I'm pooped.

If you don't mind I think we'd better call it a night.

No, of course, I don't mind.

I'll see you tomorrow, dear.

Goodnight, son.

Goodnight, dad.

Mac, you know what just popped into my head?

The apartment we lived in when we were first married.

Now isn't that strange?

Mmmmhmmm.

Freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer.

Plumbing was always breaking down.

Furniture was coming apart.

You suppose I was thinking about that because that's where

Ken was born?

Yeah...

I guess it's probably the happiest thing that can

happen between two people, a child coming into their lives.

The beautiful thing is, it can even happen to people

at our age.

In fact, it is happening to people at our age.

Mac, we're going to have a baby.

Well, with the baby coming, you'll need all the

sleep you can get.

Morning, daddy.

Good morning.

Hi, Lee.

Hi.

Can we go into puerto vallarta this afternoon?

Hey, sounds great.

Well, we could rent a car.

We wanted to go by ourselves.

Well... oh.

Ah, I don't know.

We're old enough.

Come on, daddy.

Mary takes Spanish.

And we'll only be gone a couple of hours.

Well...

I don't think they should go by themselves.

Ah, come on.

I'm sorry.

I just don't think it's a good idea.

Two kids alone in a strange country.

Daddy?

Mmm... now that I think about it, Lee's right.

I'm sorry.

Ah, dad...

Now look, if you want to leave the ship, we'll be glad to

come with you.

You can go any place you want to go.

Never mind.

It's not the same.

Thanks a lot.

Now I feel like a parent.

Thank you.

Hi, dad.

Hey, mom...

What do you get when you cross one rooster with

another rooster?

Two very cross roosters.

You like that?

You're gonna love this.

Watch this.

It's my pet.

Hello.

My name is Henry the handkerchief, what's yours?

We're the swinging swizzle sisters.

Join us in a drink!

Please, excuse me.

What's wrong with dad?

Oh... nothing.

Well, he doesn't seem like he's having a very good time.

Oh,honey, he-he's just concerned about you.

What?

I get carried away.

You do have your job to think of.

What are you talking about?

Your father's right, dear.

I act like a lunatic.

It must be a little embarrassing for you.

He said that?

I'm gonna have to have a little talk with him.

No, burl, wait.

No, mom someone has to straighten him out.

Burl, please wait.

He didn't mean to hurt you.

I don't mind if he hurts me.

I'm a big boy now.

But if he hurts you, then he's gone too far.

Good morning and welcome to puerto vallarta.

All those wishing to go para-sailing, meet on the Carl

deck gangway in ten minutes.

Honey, all set for a day in puerto vallarta?

Well...

Oh, Isaac says there's a,

you know, a little, a

little restaurant that specializes in chicken mole,

you know, the chocolate sauce.

Honey, I, I don't think I'm up to chocolate covered

chicken today.

I.... in fact, I don't think I'll even go into town.

Why don't you go without me?

What's the matter, honey?

Mac, do you know what I would really like?

A strawberry malted and a pickle.

Oh no.

Hm-hm.

I'm pregnant.

It-it's a joke.

Right? Huh?

It's a...

It's mother's day.

Hey!

I'm not joking.

Maggie, how did this happen?

I know how it happened.

It's just, it's just...

I don't know what it is.

Please, Mac, please be as thrilled as I am.

I know this means a change in your plans, but don't be mad.

No, I'm not mad.

I...

I'm stunned...

Are you... are you all right?

To tell you the truth, I'm exhausted.

I think I'll go lie down for a while.

I'll help you.

Honey, I've been through this six times.

I can handle it.

I just want to be sure that you can.

Good.

Enjoy the sun.

I'll see you later.

Boy, she acts like she

owns daddy.

Yeah, and now we have to do what she says.

I don't care what she says.

I'm going to Puerta vallarta.

But daddy said we can't...

How's he gonna find out?

We'll be back before dinner.

Besides, he would have let us go if she hadn't butted in.

Yeah.

Who cares what she thinks, anyway.

Let's go.

I just can't understand why everybody calls him gopher.

Doesn't he like the name burl?

Not much.

Burl was my father's name, you know.

I love it.

I tell you, it's awfully disconcerting having to ask a

stranger about your own son.

Well, it's hard to be close

when he's at sea all the time.

Captain stubing, to the bridge.

Captain stubing, to the bridge, please.

To tell you the truth, captain, we were never really

very close.

When he was just a little fellow, I was out on the road

ten months a year.

And well, we seem to have missed all that wonderful

father and son stuff.

Fortunately, I had a desk job by the time Jennifer came along.

But by that time burl was already off and on his own...

And I...

I guess we'll just never...

Elliot, only the past can't be changed.

Excuse me.

Dad!

What are you thinking of?

Mom is not embarrassing me.

And you have no right to ruin her vacation.

Wait, burl, I, I just...

Look, even if you don't care that much about me,

don't take it out on her.

Don't care about you?

You're my son.

I care about you very much.

Well then, why do you act the way you do?

I've always felt like an outsider around you

and your mom.

I guess I'm jealous.

I-I guess I wish you'd let me in on all the...

All the fun.

It's probably too late for that now.

Son, I hardly know you.

And you don't know me at all.

I suppose I wouldn't mind if you didn't want to...

Oh, dad.

Oh, son, son, son.

It's okay.

Gopher.

Oh, dad!

Son, son.

This one's on me, Mac.

To help you celebrate.

Celebrate?

Isaac, I'll be seventy-six years old before this kid's

on his own.

My dad was in his fifties when I was born.

Lots of people have children at your age.

I know, I'm just not through

feeling sorry for myself yet.

Well, with a family of six, at least you know

which end to powder.

Yeah, yeah.

I remember Kenny, our first.

Gee, yeah he was so little.

I was afraid to touch him.

By the time joanne came along, I was a real pro.

Well, I could diaper her with one hand, tie Gina's shoes with

the other, make a tuna sandwich in between.

Oh, we had a lot of laughs in those days.

Good times, huh?

The best.

Well, it looks like you're not gonna have much time

for memories.

You'll be making new ones.

Well yeah...

Yeah!

I guess I will.

Oh, hi.

Hi, Julie.

Mac.

Hi, Mac.

Maggie's had a little accident.

Is she... is she okay?

I mean what happened?

Well, she's all right.

She's fine,

just tripped and fell on some steps, but she's with doc now.

Oh, well...

She's okay, Mac.

Yeah.

Oh, now that tickles.

You think that's funny, you should hear my

Jimmy Carter impression.

Okay.

How's that?

That's pretty good. That does it.

Good.

Oh hi, hon.

You okay?

Sure.

I just twisted my ankle.

I fell off my shoes.

How's the baby?

Just fine.

Oh, thank god.

Well, come on, don't just sit there.

I gotta go out and buy some cigars.

Hello?

It's Judy.

Judy, where are you?

Your dad's been looking all over...

Is he there? We've got to talk to him.

No, he-he's not here right now.

Just tell me where you are.

We're in jail.

You're what?

We're in jail.

All-all right.

Calm down.

Listen, everything's gonna be okay.

I'll come and get you.

Oh, mom. Good.

Hi.

Hi.

Listen, about tonight...

You go ahead.

You first.

Well, I was thinking, you know that Sonny boy number is

really your father's idea.

And...

And I was thinking the same thing,

and...

Would it be okay with you if he went on in my place?

I love you.

Of course you do.

I'm your mother.

Happy mother's day.

Good evening.

For all those not dining ashore tonight, we are serving a buffet

dinner in the Carl dining room.

Thanks again, captain, for all your help.

No problem, Mrs. Noble.

I'm just sorry the girls had an unpleasant adventure.

If you'll excuse me, I have dinner guests.

And the captain's table isn't the captain's table

without the captain.

Excuse me.

Come on.

We'd better find your father.

He probably thinks I fell overboard.

Lee?

Mary and I just wanted to say that...

Well, you-you didn't have to go to

all the trouble...

You know what I mean?

And you're very welcome.

And thanks for not telling dad about coming to get us.

I mean he'd absolutely kill us.

We didn't mean to do anything bad.

We didn't know you had to have a tourist card.

And Judy didn't mean to be rude to that policeman.

Well, it wasn't just me.

Look, it's all over now and everybody's safe and sound.

I didn't tell your dad, but I really think you should

tell him now.

There you are.

Is everybody playing hide and seek around here?

You never showed up in the bar.

And where have you two been all day?

Uh, some kids had a cabin party.

Great disco music.

I really worked up an appetite.

Yeah, me too.

Race you to the buffet.

Yeah.

Kids.

Well, no harm done.

I'll be back in a minute.

I want to get us some more munchies.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a flute.

I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but when I play

it, I don't want you to say, "what is that?"

This is for mothers everywhere.

(Julie plays flute)

Wasn't this afternoon a trip?

I've never been so scared in my whole life.

Till you showed up with the captain.

You're a real friend.

Frankly, I don't know if I want to be your friend.

I tried to help you out and you repaid me

by lying to your father.

I thought you had a lot more going for you than that.

Think about it.

Oh, I can't, I can't.

For heaven sakes, I haven't sung Sonny boy

since I was in college.

But it's an emergency.

I can't go on like this.

Dad, we're all counting on you.

You remember the words, don't you?

How could I forget the words to the only song I ever learned?

Oh, that's great!

I mean, that's great that you'll do it.

No, no.

Wait a minute....

What have I got to lose?

Sure, sure.

The show must go on.

The show must go on.

I wish I'd said that.

Knock 'em dead, you two.

The show must go on.

The show must go on.

Must go on.

Yipppeeee!

More hide and seek?

Hey, what's wrong, hon?

It's nothing.

It's just...

Oh, Bob, as a parent, I'm a total flop.

Oh, well now, what are you talking about?

The girls really seem to be coming along.

That's the problem.

Things just aren't what they seem.

Dad?

Dad, we have something to tell you.

We lied to you before.

We didn't go to a party.

We went to puerto vallarta this afternoon.

Oh?

And... we got arrested.

Lee came and got us out of jail.

Jail?!

And you didn't tell me?

Well, I...

I am their father, you know.

I'm sorry, Bob.

But it wasn't as bad as it sounds and...

I just thought...

You thought.

Well, you thought wrong!

Don't pick on Lee, it wasn't her fault.

Yeah.

She wanted us to tell you... Only we let her down.

So, if you're gonna yell at anybody, yell at us.

Well, if you want me to yell at you...

Bet you'd rather go dancing, right?

Yeah, dancing with mom.

Oh.

Come on.

Oh, and another thing.

We'll always have babysitters.

And if our kids are busy, well...

By golly, we'll do just what the young folks do.

We'll put the baby on our back and hike off

into the wild blue yonder.

You know one thing bothers me.

What, what darling?

Well, we've already got six kids.

We're really runnin' out of names.

Okay, folks, and now for our final act,

we have a real treat.

I wish that they were brothers, so I could make a joke about

cough drops, but they are father and son.

Ladies and gentlemen, Smith and Smith.

Dad, you know I love you.

I love you, too, son.

Encore!

Encore!

Encore!

Encore!

And just what happened to your laryngitis?

Oh, that old thing?

Oh, it just needed the right medicine.

A good dose of happiness.

"The love boat will continue in a moment."

Hey Lee, are you any good at baking?

Not bad.

Why?

I'm on the food committee for the spring dance and I've

got to make cookies for two hundred fifty.

Well, that makes it official, mother.

Girls: Bye.

All: Bye bye.

Now don't feel you have to name the baby after me.

Gee, that never occurred to me.

Me, neither.

Yeah.

Who'd want to name a baby doc?

All: Bye bye.

Be sure to come see us again, soon.

Oh, we will.

But until we do, please take care of our little boy.

And see that he gets some singing lessons.

Me, too.

You know something?

This has been the best possible

mother's day ever...

The day I discovered my dad.

Hey, maybe we can do it all over again on father's day.

That's what I call a happy ending.
