[Theme music]

Love, exciting and new.

Come aboard.

We're expecting you.

And love, life's sweetest reward.

Let it flow.

It floats back to you.

The love boat, soon we'll be making another run.

The love boat, promises something for everyone.

Set a course for adventure, your mind on a new romance.

And love won't hurt anymore.

It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

It's love.

Welcome aboard.

It's love.

[triumphant music playing]

Wow.

This bowers-bradbury wedding is really going to be something,

isn't it?

Yeah.

Those people must be loaded.

Bringing an entire wedding party to Alaska for the ceremony--

can you imagine having that kind of bread?

Only in a world without alimony.

Well, are you gentlemen looking forward

to your first Alaskan cruise? - Yeah.

Yes, sir.

I've been reading up on it.

Did you know that Alaska has 5,000 glaciers, three million

freshwater lakes, and a farming community where

it is not uncommon to find cabbages

weighing more than 70 pounds?

Those alaskans must eat an awful lot of coleslaw.

Well, is all this going to be on the exam?

[Laughter]

Afternoon, sir.

Afternoon.

Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith?

Speak up, sir.

Why on earth are you wearing that?

Because it's too heavy to carry.

Sir, I'm prepared for anything-- ice storms, blizzards, sleep.

Gopher, we are sailing from Vancouver, Canada, past prince

Rupert on to Alaska, Juneau, skagway, glacier bay, sitka,

and back to Los Angeles.

We are not sailing to Santa's workshop.

Now you should be due outside, assisting Julie.

The bowers-bradbury wedding party

will be arriving any time.

Well, I was--

and please take that off.

You look like a sick sheep dog.

Maybe I just need a flea collar.

[Triumphant music playing]

Oh, that's ok, friend.

I've been opening doors for years.

Can't stop now, just when I'm getting the hang of it.

Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Bowers.

Now that's another thing.

Back where I come from, they call me buddy.

Mr. Bowers is my daddy.

Uh, thank you, buddy, uh, sir.

Now, this is for getting me here from the airport on time.

Oh, I can't take that, sir, i--

I don't care if Mrs. bradbury stands on her head

and whistles "Clementine."

Now I'll pay for a society wedding and all

that other stuff and whatever else it takes for my Carol

to have the best.

But you get yourself a good bottle of whiskey with that.

Oh, hey, yes, sir.

Thank you, buddy, sir.

Hey, buddy, bon voyage!

Hello, everyone.

Hi.

That is Alicia bradbury, the groom's mother.

Name sounds familiar.

[Chuckle] She is formerly Alicia Fairchild.

Her father left her $8 million.

Only eight?

What a piker.

Which one's the father of the groom?

No, he's not coming to the wedding.

He's the black sheep of the family.

Oh.

How do you know all this?

Captain's intuition.

And I also had a report from head office.

Well, well, well, how's my little sister?

Oh, fine, portia.

Ah-ha.

I see you found yourself yet another

color-blind hairdresser.

Yeah.

Well, at least I found one--

jesting, darling, only jesting.

As usual, you're impeccably groomed.

Oh, Dougie is getting married.

[Giggle] Can you stand it?

[Giggle]

Are you ecstatically happy, Alicia?

Actually, I'm wondering why there aren't

more flowers in this lobby.

And why only one photographer?

Well, isn't that up to the bride's family?

Oh, darling, the bride's only living

relative spent 2/3 of his life riding

a mule through the tundra.

Ha.

The only thing he could arrange is a barn dance.

Don't tell me.

Let me guess.

You have volunteered to arrange everything.

Yes.

And give me one more little guess--

you are allowing the bride's only living

relative to foot the bill.

What's that supposed to mean?

Of course, it's none of my business,

but I hear that you've been borrowing from uncle Percy.

You're right, darling.

It is none of your business.

I just hope you haven't blown the whole bundle, Alicia.

Part of that money belongs to Doug, you know?

Enjoy your cruise.

Announcer: All wedding passengers, please use gate 17.

Ship will sail from Vancouver at 15:00 hours.

All aboard for Alaska.

All wedding passengers, please use gate 17.

If you ever get to la again, maybe you could look me up.

Sure.

If you ever get up to Alaska--

you know, that's not altogether impossible.

We have cruises.

And I could get on one of them accidentally,

and maybe on purpose.

Sure.

Well, if you do, look me up.

Yeah.

[Crying] Yeah.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Do you work here?

Yeah, I'm supposed to.

I'm Julie McCoy, your cruise director.

Hi. How do you do?

Cruise director, huh?

Yeah.

Well, I'm Marv prine.

My friend, Doug bradbury, is getting married.

Marv prine, of course-- yes, you're the best man.

Well, maybe not the best, but close enough.

Ah.

Have you been to Alaska often?

No, first trip.

Oh.

Well, you know, I know a really nice restaurant in sitka.

Oh.

Well, I really haven't made my plans yet.

I-- I might look up an old friend.

Well, listen, before you say no,

I have to warn you that I respond

very badly to rejection.

[Laughs] How do you respond to a maybe?

Oh, there's reverend mcguffey.

Hi.

It's good to see you.

Yes.

I always hoped I'd be around to officiate at Doug's wedding.

I'll bet you never thought you'd be going

to skagway, Alaska, to do it.

Oh, yes, I suppose it would have been more convenient

if he'd married the girl next door instead

of the granddaughter of an Alaskan oil man.

But not nearly as romantic.

Reverend: Oh, I agree.

However, you might get an argument from that young lady.

She was the girl next door.

Reverend!

[Laughs].

Oh, have you met Carol's bridesmaids?

It's Nancy birken and Sandy--

how do you do.

Where's Doug?

He and Carol aren't here yet.

Oh, well, I guess we better [inaudible]..

Hey, look.

At this time of the year, the sun stays

out until almost midnight.

Well, that's extremely interesting, Isaac.

But where the heck are the bride and groom?

Well, maybe they decided to skip the wedding

and go right to the divorce.

You're about as romantic as a mud puddle.

You know that?

I try.

Thank you.

Well, it's now or never.

Yeah.

Guess we better got on board, huh?

Mhm.

Sure you wouldn't rather elope?

You know I would.

Look, anything to avoid this mess.

But if it's going to make your grandfather happy and my mother

happy, hey, I'll go for it.

How about you?

Let's run for it.

Oh, wait a minute.

No, no, come on.

Doug, stay close to me, ok?

For the rest of your life.

Woman: Oh, here they are, everybody.

[Applause and cheers]

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Doug.

Dougie, hi.

Hi.

Come with me.

I've got a million people you've just got to meet.

Excuse us.

Excuse us.

[Triumphant music playing]

[Ship horn]

[Ship horn]

[Cheering]

[Background voices]

Hello, young fella.

Hi, Mr. Bowers.

Buddy.

Buddy.

This is quite a spread.

I haven't seen this much food since the day

my mother quit weight watchers.

Heh.

What this is costing me, you--

you'd think they'd make the sandwiches a little bigger.

That wouldn't make lunch for a fruit fly.

Mm.

Hello, sweetheart.

How's it going?

Hi, buddy.

Well, are you guys getting warmed up for the wedding

to end all weddings?

Working on it.

Yeah.

Buddy: Good.

Back in the old days in Alaska, somebody wanted to get married,

they'd just jump over a broom and then go back

and chop wood and haul water.

Oh, grandpa.

You make it sound like it was all work and no play.

But even in the old days, people had time for love.

Oh, I suppose they did.

I'm just getting too old to remember.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

[Laughs] But I'm glad of it.

I'll leave the billing and cooing to you young 'uns.

That reminds me.

I met this fantastic girl who works right here on the ship.

I think I'll try and interest her in a bill, maybe

even a coo or two.

[Laughs]

Hi, darling.

Hi.

So how are you making out?

Ok, I guess.

Lot of crumbs in the upper crust, aren't there?

[Laughing]

Hello, darling.

Hello.

Oh, sweetheart, Mrs. B's been looking all over for you.

Some relative or other wants to give you the once-over.

I think he's an ambassador or something.

Ambassador?

Don't be nervous, dear.

Just picture him in his underwear.

Gopher: Ah.

I think I see the future Mrs. Burl Smith.

Which one?

Don't bother me with the details, doc.

I'm in love with both of them.

I'm glad you're not fickle.

Wonder if bigamy is legal in Alaska.

Hi.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Please accept these assorted num-nums

as tokens of my admiration and possible future affection.

Mr. Smith.

Pardon me.

Yes, sir?

Yes, sir?

We have a lot of guests to take care of here.

This is no time for a picnic.

Yes, sir.

Why don't you try the little brown ones, sir?

They're either pheasant pate or peanut butter.

On the other hand, you may not be hungry right now.

Some party, huh?

Yeah.

Sort of makes you want to run right out and get married,

doesn't it?

Yeah, it does.

How about it?

Oh, I'm sort of saving myself for Mr. Right.

It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Ambassador, sir.

Good day.

Bye.

Carol, you're not supposed to shake his hand.

He was going to kiss yours.

Sorry.

It's all right.

I guess you have to be born to all this

to understand all the protocol, right, Alicia?

Nobody can ever learn at all.

[Laughs] What the hell is he doing here?

What's who doing here?

Carol, darling, that is Peter bradbury,

Alicia's ex, Dougie's father.

Doug, is that your father over there?

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I'm very well, thank you, Alicia.

And how are you?

Alicia: [Laughs]

Well, aren't you going to say something to him?

If he wants me, he can find me.

You weren't invited, Peter.

Why are you here?

I'm trying to be a father.

And I wanted to see my son.

What makes you think he wants to see you?

He's done well enough without you up until now.

Yes, I imagine you've seen to that.

I also intend to see that nothing interferes

with this wedding, especially not

a drunk who suddenly decided he wants to be a father.

Well, I've been on the wagon for a long time.

And you know that.

Yes.

Yes, Peter, I know that.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter now, you see.

It's-- it's just too late.

Always the ringmaster, Alicia--

well, I may have the same old face,

but I am not the same old clown.

Anything I can do for you?

No.

No.

I was just fascinated.

I've never seen a man hang himself before.

I don't know why people wear these outfits.

And I look like I should be handing out menus.

You mean you're not?

Oh, da, da.

Never could tie one of these things.

Well, don't look at me.

I wasn't looking at you.

Good.

Hey.

Who are you?

Portia Fairchild.

Oh.

Well, who are you?

Buddy bowers.

Oh.

You are supposed to me protecting my interests.

Stock broker (on phone): I can't control the market, Alicia.

The price is dropping.

I don't know when it's going to go up.

Well, how much has it gone up?

Stock broker (on phone): Down, Alicia--

it's going down.

You've got to sell.

Well, I can't sell.

I'm using that stock as collateral for a loan.

Stock broker (on phone): Your what?

Collateral-- it's a private thing from my uncle.

Stock broker (on phone): Then my hands are tied.

Let's just hope the market stabilizes.

Yes, let's.

[Hangs up phone]

[Applause]

Did you know they have these worms

in Alaska that live in ice?

I hope they like scotch.

Isaac: Did you know that Alaska was originally settled

by three different groups--

the aleuts, the Indians, and the eskimos?

No kidding.

Isaac: The name Alaska comes from the native word alyeska,

meaning great land.

And did you know that there's a native term

in Alaska that means quiet?

Hm.

Zip your lip.

Fine. Fine.

Just don't come running to me when you want to know where

the word tundra comes from.

All right.

Where does the word tundra come from?

Beats me.

I'm just a bartender.

Hi.

Hi, you two.

Hi.

Well, I see you got it tied.

Yeah.

I like Carol.

Yeah, me, too.

When her folks died, she was just a little one.

I brought her up.

You did a good job.

Gave it my best shot.

We were poor a long time.

But she never complained.

I struck it lucky.

And well, there isn't anything she might

want that I wouldn't give her.

Well, I'm glad she gets Doug.

He's good people.

I'll drink to that.

Oh.

To Doug and Carol.

[Glasses clinking]

Anybody else we can drink to?

I'm thirsty.

[Laughs] Well, how about, um, to young love?

Hm.

And thank heavens we don't have to go through it again.

Yeah.

[Glasses clinking]

Let' see-- Sandy, Nancy, Nancy, Sandy.

Nancy, Sandy.

Good.

Now I'm out two girls and my life savings.

[Applause]

Hello, Doug.

You're a hard man to find.

How are you?

Fine, dad.

Fine.

Uh, long time no see.

Yes.

This must be Carol.

That's right.

Uh, Carol, this is my father.

It's nice to meet you.

How are you?

You're a very lucky man.

Well, I won't spoil your fun.

Very nice meeting.

You, too.

Good night.

Gosh, he seems really nice.

Oh, Carol, we've been over this before.

I just have absolutely no respect for the man.

Maybe if you talk to him.

Oh, Dougie, listen.

They're playing our song.

Why don't we show them how we won the dance contest, huh?

Oh, I don't know, Natalie.

I--

oh, you wouldn't mind, would you, dear?

Not at all.

Come on.

Woo!

Oh!

Woo!

Julie?

Hm?

You feel like dancing?

I don't think so.

I guess I'm just not in the mood tonight.

Oh.

Ok.

What are you in the mood for?

You sure you wouldn't rather be dancing?

Uh-uh.

Would you?

No.

I'd rather--

what?

I'd rather be kissing you.

Julie?

Oh, Marv.

Yeah, Marv.

Marv, can I take a rain check?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

I'll see you later. - Ok.

Excuse me.

That kid's crazy about me.

[Knocking]

[Sigh] Hm.

Captain?

Yes?

- May I? - Of course.

Thank you.

Captain, I'm Peter bradbury, the groom's father.

Well, how do you do?

Fine, thank you.

Actually, I came to turn myself in.

I am by way of being what you call a stowaway.

I don't understand.

Well, I didn't know where my son's wedding until I

read it on the society page.

I was quite prepared to pay for my passage.

But when I inquired about this cruise,

I found out it had been sold out months ago, solid.

So I got this silly idea that I'd show up anyway and perhaps

find a place to sleep.

You see, it's important that I see my son.

Have you?

Yes.

I'll get off at the ship's next port of call.

What, and miss the wedding?

Captain, I don't belong here.

One of the nice things about being captain

is there's nobody around to yell at me if I bend the rules.

Tonight, you can stay in my cabin.

And tomorrow, I'll see if I can find

you private accommodations.

Well, that's very kind of you.

But it's quite--

or I could give you a blanket.

And you could sleep in a lifeboat.

I can't wait to see your cabin.

[Laughs].

Don't tell me--

you're contemplating forgetting the marriage

and running off to become some exotic dancer

in a skagway saloon.

[Laughs] Can we talk a minute?

Sure.

What's up.

Natalie.

She's really getting to me.

Yeah.

I kind of thought so.

Well, I've known for a long time how

she feels about you and all.

But I don't know.

She's just never been this blatant.

Carol, look.

That lady has been kicked around from pillar

to post by her folks.

They used to park her with us every summer.

Yeah, I know.

But I just--

I grew up with her.

I've traveled halfway around the world with her.

And I like her.

Most of all, most of all, I feel sorry for her.

She's in love with you.

Carol, she does not know the meaning of the word.

But we do.

Mhm.

Better be careful-- people are going to talk.

[Laughs].

Hey, what about your dad?

That, my lovely lady, is a closed subject.

Now what do you say we go get some breakfast?

Well, I really think you should--

hey, come on.

We'll have champagne and caviar.

Yeah.

Fish eggs for breakfast?

Sure.

Come on.

I think I'll have mine scrambled.

- Ok. - Come on.

Let's go.

You know, after a while, I realized

there was a hell of a lot more to life than just

the bottom of a whiskey glass.

So I went back to teaching.

That [inaudible] pretty rosy, except for a few odds and ends.

When we first started out, Alicia and I were just two kids

madly in love with each other.

Her father at that time had all the money.

That was his problem.

But I loved talking to her.

I loved being with her.

I love looking at her.

And even now, with all we've been through,

I still can't say I've met anyone like her.

My poor Alicia, buried under the mountain of all those millions.

I thought you told me you were here to see your son.

Oh, I did.

But you know, weddings tend to make you sentimental.

Oh, by the way, would you mind pointing

me to the doctor's office?

I have a prescription which must be refilled.

Oh, I'll take care of it for you.

Thank you.

Oh, I've arranged for a cabin for you.

One of our passengers had to fly home on business.

Well, thank you, merrill.

Thank you very much.

You know, i--

I feel I've made a friend.

So do I.

Did you know we sailed past prince Rupert last night?

Yes.

And?

And what?

Well, don't you have any facts about prince Rupert?

No.

But I can look something up.

No, no, no.

No.

Hey, gopher.

What?

Have you ever wondered about prince Rupert?

I haven't even wondered about Princess grace.

Hi, Mr. Bowers.

Oh, say, listen, what's this trousseau tea

you're setting up?

Oh, ah, well, this is, uh, it's an old tradition.

The gifts are laid out for the guests to ooh and ah over.

That's why Mrs. bradbury wanted

them gifts lugged aboard, huh?

You mean you didn't have anything like this

when you got married, huh?

Ah, me?

Pretty tough to make an impression with two

snowshoes and a washboard.

Well, look on the bright side-- could have been two

washboards and one snowshoe.

Nice day.

Thank you.

You know, you never gave me your answer.

About what?

Dinner in sitka--

all I got was a maybe.

Oh, I don't think so, Marv.

It's another guy, right?

Mhm.

Every time I like a girl, there's another guy.

I like you.

I know, like a brother.

I've memorized the speech.

I've got so many sisters, I could start my own sorority.

This other guy, does he live in sitka?

Yes.

Is it serious?

It was.

He asked me to marry him.

That's pretty serious.

Yeah, but he has two daughters.

And I didn't think I was ready to become a wife and a mother

all at once.

So I said no.

But now you're thinking about changing your no to a yes.

I'm thinking about it.

You know what this means, don't you?

What?

We'll have to have dinner in Juneau.

[Laughs].

No.

No.

Uh.

I think that one's a refrigerator.

How could you possibly have put

a cast iron hibachi next to sterling silver tea set?

You told me to arrange the gifts.

I arranged the gifts.

I should have remembered you have

the taste of a longshoreman.

What's the hibachi I gave the kids doing over there?

I was just moving it.

I thought it would look lovely over here by the tea set.

[Inaudible]

Good.

[Laughs].

Oh, come on.

You didn't really give this to them, did you?

Nah.

I just kind of liked the way it looked over here.

What do you know, a moldy old prospector from the boonies?

Mrs. Bradbury?

Yes?

There's a ship-to-shore phone call coming in for you.

I think it's your broker.

Now, it will take about 15 minutes to make the connection.

So they'll ring you in your cabin, all right?

Fine, thank you.

You're welcome.

- Carol, dear? - Uh-huh?

I have a phone call coming in.

I'm afraid I have to leave.

Oh, well, I'll take care--

Natalie, you've been to a million of these things.

Hold down the fort for me, will you?

Of course I will.

Thank you.

Isn't this pretty?

Oh, it's one of my favorite gifts.

Oh, yes.

I have one just like it.

Oh, really?

Yes.

It was a gift--

from Doug.

Well, have you made your choice yet?

Hm?

The future Mrs. Smith--

which is the lucky girl?

Doc, I've hardly had a chance to get near either one of them.

This wedding is interfering with a potentially

beautiful romance.

Well, you better make up your mind soon.

Well, let's see.

Captain stubing (Over loudspeaker):

Mr. Smith to the purser's lobby.

Mr. Smith to the purser's lobby, please.

Maybe I was meant to be a monk.

Thank you.

Doug.

It's all right.

It's ginger ale.

You can taste it if you like.

No.

I believe you.

I'm sorry.

Why, dad?

Why did you have to change from being my father

into some kind of--

Douglas, well, I got mixed up in a triangle, I suppose--

Alicia, me, Alicia's money.

It's awfully hard on a man when his wife pays all the bills.

Great-- blame everything on mom.

I'm not blaming anything on anyone.

I take full responsibility for my life.

I'm only sorry that I hurt you.

It was never that I didn't care, just that I couldn't cope.

Are you sure?

Stock broker (on phone): Yes, I'm sure.

Even if I sold the house?

Stock broker (on phone): I'm sorry, Alicia.

That's it.

You're at rock bottom.

Well, then I guess there's nothing else to do.

Declare bankruptcy, but not for another three days--

three days.

You've got to hold them off that long.

Stock broker (on phone): Ok.

I'll try.

Oh, howdy.

Howdy.

Howdy yourself.

[Chuckle] Hey, hey, doesn't it ever get dark around here?

Dark around here?

Yeah.

Ma'am, I got to tell you something.

This is god's country.

Even the sun can't stand to leave.

[Laughs] Hey, where's your dinner jacket?

Aren't you going to go to the party?

I just couldn't face wrasslin' that tie again.

[Chuckles]

Oh, yeah?

Did you ever try getting into a girdle?

No, I never have.

No.

Make a deal with you.

What?

Next time you help me with my tie,

I'll help you with your girdle.

[Laughing]

No deal.

Say, I'm going to do a little exploring.

Would you like to--

sure, why not?

We're too old to get in any trouble anyway,

wouldn't you say?

Portia, I like the way you think.

[Laughing]

Has cinderella left the ball?

Oh, Peter, please--

I'm in no mood to match wits with you tonight.

All right.

I talked to Doug today.

He's a wonderful boy, Alicia.

And all the credit should go to you.

You raised him singlehandedly.

And you should be very proud.

Thank you, Peter.

Thank you very much.

Captain stubing: Adam.

- Captain. - How are you?

Just fine. How are you?

Ok.

Oh, look.

Can you, uh, fill that for me?

Bradbury-- relative of the groom?

The father.

Oh.

Adam?

This prescription is for dilaudid.

It's an extremely strong painkiller usually

used for terminal patients.

Oh.

Announcer: Good morning, and welcome to Juneau,

the capital of Alaska and home of the world

famous medenhall glacier.

We hope you enjoy your day.

Lady, you must be in love.

You don't even have enough sense to come in out of the rain.

[Laughs]

I am in love.

Mm.

Well, what do you think--

one more day till the big event?

Yeah, if I make it.

What?

I don't know.

I mean, some people aren't cut out for all these parties

and events and things, even though your friend

Natalie seems to thrive on it.

Wait a minute.

My diagnosis is that you are suffering from an overdose

of high living. - Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

And what you need is some clean, fresh air.

Ok.

So we're on your home turf, so show me Alaska.

All right.

Man, you won't believe the spot I've

found that picnic in Juneau.

- Where? - Juneau.

No, I don't know.

That's why I'm asking.

Funny.

Worked for abbott and costello.

Sandy, hey.

Listen, I was wondering if tonight--

Mr. Smith.

What, sir?

[Gasps].

Hi, Alicia.

Looking for me?

Peter.

Oh, no, actually, I wasn't.

Well, I'm sorry I spoiled your trip for you.

What's done is done.

I'm sure we shall all survive.

Yes.

It is rather beautiful though, isn't it,

even though it is raining?

Yes, it is.

It reminds me of that cabin we rented

once up in the north woods.

That was a long time ago.

[Laughs].

Yes.

We did have some fun, though, didn't we?

Yes, we did.

Oh, I have to go.

What's the rush?

Well, there's the wedding rehearsal

and Doug's bachelor dinner and the bridesmaids' party.

Oh, wait awhile.

You mean not show up?

Sure.

Why not?

Oh, Peter, you don't understand.

This is important.

I've spent months planning.

Yes, you're the world's greatest planner--

parties, lives, finances.

The trick is to stop planning and start living.

Oh, you're hopeless.

Oh, no, on the contrary--

I'm full of hope.

I'll take you back to your wedding.

Oh.

Alaska king crab-- mm, a meal fit for a king.

Or a doctor.

Julie, what did you put in this mustard sauce?

Ah, mustard and [inaudible].

Let me see this for a minute.

Ok.

Know what this place needs?

Nothing.

Right on.

Sitka-- this is Juneau.

Yeah, well, uh, I was just interested

in this one particular town.

That's all.

Ah, for any specific reason-- the weather,

the scenery, the people?

The guy from sitka that you almost married last year, Jack?

Hm?

I haven't thought of anything else since we left Vancouver.

The wedding is really getting to you, huh?

Well, maybe the wedding got me started thinking,

but what's wrong with that?

Julie, there are a lot of good reasons

for wanting to get married.

But I don't think keeping up with the bradburys

is one of them.

Do you?

Jack chenault is the most wonderful man I ever met.

And he asked me to marry him.

How many chances like that does a girl get?

But I thought you decided--

I know what I decided.

But it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, isn't it?

Oh, sure.

Matter of fact, my uncle used to say that a woman's

mind is kind of like motor oil.

If it isn't changed often enough,

it gets all gummy and sludgy.

My uncle was great with cars but lousy with women.

[Laughter]

I know it's kind of soggy today,

but how do you like it so far?

Oh, god, it's beautiful.

It was almost worth it, letting you drag me all the way

up here to see it.

Oh.

I dragged you?

I asked do you if wanted to come along.

I would have come here with you and without you.

Ah, yeah, well, I didn't have anything better to do anyway.

Well, you never saw anything like that in Paris or Rome,

now did you?

Boy, I never saw anything like that any place.

I can see why you love it so much.

You know, I remember one time I came here with my wife,

Lillian.

Yeah.

And we were standing, I guess around

where we're standing now.

And all of a sudden, the most beautiful rainbow

came off that glacier.

And it was so beautiful, we just stood here and cried.

What uh, what happened to your wife?

She passed away.

What about you?

Now how come you never got hitched?

I guess I just never stayed in one place

long enough to get hooked.

[Gentle laughter]

So you, uh, you never took the plunge again, huh?

Well, just never came up.

Yeah.

Well, you get older.

And you figure, well, once is enough for any man.

Of course, I had Carol to take care of.

Oh, sure.

I got plenty to keep me busy.

Plenty.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

[Laughs].

Portia, i--

I don't quite know how to say this.

But, well, I'm beginning--

well, I'm beginning--

to catch pneumonia.

Yeah.

Let's get back to ship.
