Hey, good -- there's the doc.

Now, trap him in the elevator, and remember --

he's the only thing standing

between us and half a million dollars,

so do your stuff, baby, hmm?

Someday, somebody's going to like me just for myself.

Well, hi.

[ Coughs ]

Which deck, please?

[ Hoarsely ] The one where the doctor is, please.

Oh, I'm the doctor.

[ Coughs ]

Sounds like you're coming down with something.

I think it's just a frog in my throat.

Well, nobody ever croaked from that.

[ Laughs ]

A little medical humor.

[ Chuckles ]

That's my favorite kind...

Next to funeral jokes. [ Chuckles ]

Well, why don't we go to my office,

and, ahem, I can take a look at you?

Thank you.

It'll only take a second.

Oh, take as much time as you like.

I have no plans for the evening.

Did anyone ever tell you you're a very attractive man?

Well, yes, quite a few times.

[ Normal voice ] Really?!

[ Hoarsely ] I mean, I can really understand that.

Would you pass me the salt?

Wanna pass me the salt?!

Would you pass me the butter, please?

Thank you.

I got a great idea --

afterwards we can all go into a phone booth for dessert.

[ Giggles ]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

If you would behave yourself, we wouldn't have to eat in here.

If you keep this up, it's gonna cost me my job.

Ahh, horsefeathers!

Horsefeathers?

I read a book once.

Whatever.

I do not want you speaking to your father like that.

He's not my father.

I know that. I was only practicing my character.

How was I?

You had warmth up to your eyeballs, honey.

Ellen, let's go to dinner.

I'm not hungry. You go on without me.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm -- I'm just tired.

I'm going to bed.

But I'm sure that you and Wendy can carry on without me.

Are you sure you're all right?

Good night, bill.

Good night.

Well, now, miss --

Norma.

You see, you can't be too sick. You remember your name.

[ Both laugh ]

I just love medical humor.

Um, it seems dark in here.

Are you sure you have enough light to examine me?

Yeah, uh...Plenty.

Now, let's take a look at those throats --

I-I mean, that throat.

I'm sure you'll make me feel a lot better.

Well, I hope so. Say, "ahhh."

Ahhhhh.

You'll have to open your mouth for me to examine you.

Is, um, is that your bedroom in there?

Could you maybe examine me in there?

Um, examination rooms make me nervous.

Well, the patient, like the customer, is always right.

Mmm, lovely room.

Well, thanks.

Julie helped me decorate.

Yes, it has a woman's touch.

Oh, I'm sorry. What I meant was, well...

If I'd have decorated it, I would have, uh --

well, take that lamp there --

I would have picked something more manly,

like something to go with your rugged personality...

Like something with a ship motif.

I told Julie I had one just like that, but she took it out.

She said it looked awful.

Oh.

Look, if you don't like this one, I'll get rid of it.

I'll put it in my waiting room.

[ Normal voice ] Oh! [ Giggles ]

What is it?

My throat -- it's all better!

You're the best!

I'd like to thank the academy, but especially miss Julie McCoy,

without whose help this could have been a memorable evening.

What did you write down?

Well, I wrote down the day, the date, and the time.

What for?

Well, when our grandchildren come up and they say,

"when did you first kiss grandmommy?"

I'll have the, uh, exact answer.

Oh, Paul!

I love you, Lisa.

I love you, Paul.

I hate to leave you.

Leave?! You can't leave!

I have to. We have a curfew.

I mean... Can't you stay a couple minutes?

I can't.

No, no, don't go now.

Well...just a little while longer.

Aw, no.

Well, that's long enough. Night-night!

But, Paul!

I love you too much to get you in trouble.

Nice talking.

Not bad.

While we're all cooped up in the cabin,

you're playing games with the cheerleader!

The wife's always the last to know!

A cheerleader!

Give me a "k"! Give me an "i"!

Give me an "s"! Give me an "s"!

I'll tell you what I'm going to give you --

well, together as always, I see.

Oh!

Just teaching my son how to throw a knuckleballer.

Ah, wonderful.

Yes.

Should have been here a second ago to see the curves.

Listen to dad. He knows.

Seeing a family like yours gives me a feeling right here.

It does me, too -- right here.

Don't ever lose them.

Now, where were we?

Oh, nothing like a hot bath before bed.

You were in there long enough to get webbed feet.

[ Laughter ]

Only me, girls -- bed check.

All the beds are here!

[ Laughing ]

[ Laughing ]

Jan, Paula, Stacey... Where's Allie?

Ooh, when she wakes, be sure and tell her "good night."

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

She looks like she's out for the duration.

Out is right...

...with Mark in the moonlight.

Stella.

Elliot, I need to talk to you.

Is it too late?

Of course not. Come in.

Thank you.

I, um, have nothing to offer you here, except myself.

Care to have any?

No, thank you.

I'm still allergic.

Aw, pity. Well, sit down, please.

Thank you.

I was reluctant to come here

because you're probably the wrong person to ask,

but what I need to know is how would you --

that is, if you wanted to --

spare an artist's feelings if you didn't like their work?

Well, now, where is it written that one has to?

A criticism, to have any meaning at all, must be totally honest.

Truth as the critic sees it -- that's his job.

And if the truth hurts once in a while,

well, then the artist must just learn to live with it.

I see.

Why did you want to know?

Are you having trouble with somebody in the show

for tomorrow night?

Oh, no, this has to do with that young playwright,

a friend of captain stubing's.

I just read his play, and it is horrendous.

What?

It is banal, inane, trite.

The characters are cardboard. The plot is ludicrous.

The dialogue is childlike.

It is the worst piece of trash I have ever read.

What do I say to captain stubing?

Hmm?

Captain stubing.

Uh...

Well, as I said, be totally honest.

My instinct was to be...

Compassionate.

Well, I guess that's why we have critics like you --

to protect audiences from such garbage.

Thanks, Elliot.

Good night.

Mmm.

Good night.

[ Door slams ]

Garbage...inane...stupid...

She told me that.

[ Muttering ]

Gopher: Good morning and welcome to acapulco.

We hope you enjoy your day.

Now, if Julie doesn't have that lamp, we're in big trouble.

Let me do the talking, okay?

You always do the talking. I never do -- always you!

You're the only one who can talk.

I always have to be as quiet as a clam.

Maybe our marriage wouldn't be breaking up

if you let me talk once in a while,

but no -- you --

Norma!

See? I told you.

Oh, hi!

Hi. Can we bother you for a second?

No bother. Come on in if you don't mind a little mess.

No problem.

Okay.

Listen, we're going into acapulco

and thought maybe you could tell us the best places to shop.

Sure. What are you looking for?

Uh, c-clothes.

Clothes! Right. Clothes for my wife. Right.

Oh. Well, in that case, I really like the casa Rosa.

Write that down, sweetheart.

Oh? Okay.

Oh, do you know what else we need?

Uh, I promised our son that we'd get him a lamp.

You know, he's been dying for one shaped like a --

do you know the address of casa Rosa?

No, but it's right next to the hotel Miranda.

He's been dying for one shaped like a --

I hear the hotel Miranda's really nice!

Yes, it's really nice -- really nice. Yeah.

About the lamp for our son -- he's, uh --

oh, I'm sorry. How old is he?

7.

14.

I mean, well, he's 7 now,

but he's going to be 14...Someday.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ] Yeah.

He's a great kid, and, uh,

and we promised him a lamp for his desk,

one with a nautical motif --

you know, like with a captain's wheel on it.

Oh, yes! You mean like this! Oh, darn! I forgot --

I had one just like you're describing,

but last night Vicki came around

collecting donations for the orphanage,

and she was taking clothes, bedding, lamps, anything.

Vicki? Vicki?

Yes, that's the captain's little girl.

Oh. Well, thank you. You've been a great help.

Sure. Sure.

Let's go, sweetheart.

Do you know a nice place for silver?

All right, everybody, this way.

Stick together, boys.

Be very, very careful, especially you, pepito, eh?

Especially you.

Children, you know --

they are so excited. They couldn't wait to get here.

Oh, we couldn't wait to see them.

Where are the others?

I think Vicki lured them to the pool.

Captain...

Yes?

...miss Logan...

I don't know the words to thank you

for your kindness and your generosity,

but I think the expressions on these faces

will give you an idea.

Yeah. It's our privilege, padre.

Believe me, working for the orphanage

has been a labor of love.

Lead on, mon capitaine.

Aye, aye.

Aw.

Oh, those poor kids!

They're not gonna have an easy life.

So? Why should they be different?

You're all heart!

Did you ever think that having kids

might have saved our marriage?

Listen, dear Abby, Ann landers, and Dr. Joyce brothers

on their best day couldn't have saved our marriage.

Now, come on. Let's knock off the sentimental stuff

and find Vicki, okay?

Can you help us?

Anytime.

We can't find Mrs. Ames anywhere.

We've banged on her door and called her cabin.

She left the ship about a half-hour ago.

Oh. Well, then she's in acapulco.

No, I think she went to the airport.

She had her suitcase.

Airport? Why?

Well, I don't know why, but we've got to find her.

Come on!

Hey.

You look like a cheerleader with nothing to cheer about.

Well put.

Oh?

How would you feel if you gave a guy away,

then you decided you wanted him back,

and somebody else already had him?

Well...

You're talkin' to the right girl.

It's the story of my life.

Sorry.

Oh, he's a wonderful man.

He lives in Alaska, and he has two kids...

And he asked me to marry him, but I wasn't sure.

I said I needed a little time.

What happened?

I took too much time.

While I was thinking, "do I or don't I?"

Somebody else did.

The good ones don't come around often enough

that we can afford to give them away.

I think I'm too late.

Oh, no.

It's only too late after they say, "I do."

Hey, that must be Vicki.

Now, remember, let me do the talking, okay?

Don't I always?

[ Grumbles ]

Hi. Uh, you Vicki?

Yeah. Hi.

Hi. Uh, Julie told us

you were collecting things for the orphanage,

and, well, if you could tell us where the bundle is,

we could add some of our things to it.

That's really nice of you, but the truck already came

and took everything to the orphanage.

Oh. Oh, well, Julie mentioned that you got a lamp from her --

a ship design with a captain's wheel.

Oh, yeah. Ramon loved it!

Ramon?

One of the orphan boys. He took it for himself.

Uh, I -- w-w-w-- which one's Ramon?

Oh, he's not here.

Oh.

Oh, here's Ramon now.

It's no good, Vicki.

When I turn it on, it goes "zzzzt!"

Hey, I can fix that for you, Ramon.

No, no, no. Really, really. I'm an electrician.

Huh? Huh? It's okay.

Now, you, uh, you wait right here, okay?

Hey, Norma, come on. Let's get going.

Norma!

So what's the rush?

Oh!

You know what i'm in the mood for, dear?

A good game of bridge.

Well, that's fine with me if we can dig up two other players.

Excuse me.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I'd love to play.

Oh, wonderful! Then all we need is a fourth.

Maybe my boyfriend -- well, if he plays.

You see, we just met on the ship.

Oh, how romantic!

Or we can get my new vice-president

if he'll leave his wife and family long enough.

There he is!

There he is!

Turner!

Your new boyfriend?

Wife and family?!

Hi, everybody.

Turner, you're fired.

Uh...

Sir?

Turner, we're through!

This mean lunch is off?

[ Chuckling ]

Oh, they're in there. I can hear 'em.

Be careful! Remember, Ramon says it goes "fffft!"

Well, of course it goes "fffft!"

The diamonds are making it short-circuit.

Or maybe it's the plug.

Aahhhhh!

Plug!! The plug!!

Aahhh!

Every little thing!

You're always yelling at me!

Oh!

Oh!

Half a million dollars!

Oh!

$250,000 for you, $250,000 for me,

and we can each start a new life.

And live happily ever after.

Look -- there's a blue one, and a there's a yellow one...

Mother!

Please, I left the ship to avoid this scene.

Look, I've lost a daughter, and I've lost a fiancé.

At least leave me my dignity.

To think that I was afraid you wouldn't like bill.

I know men your age prefer young girls -- I accept that.

That's a fact of life I understand --

what in the hell are you talking about?

Wendy's a Dallas cowboy cheerleader.

She's beautiful. I understand that.

You'd be a fool not to love her.

Well, of course I love Wendy...

As a daughter.

Since when do you buy daughters wedding rings?

That's right -- somebody saw you.

I didn't buy any wedding rings --

Wendy did!

For you two!

It's your wedding present.

I love you, Ellen -- you.

Come, my love.

Grow old with me, for the best is yet to be.

Oh, bill!

Sweet pea.

Now, Isaac, my friend, tell me --

in all your lifelong experience,

how many drinks does it take the average man to get blottoed?

Oh, four...Or five.

Well, as I've always considered myself above the average,

you'd better leave the whole bottle.

Here's to you.

Certainly.

There you are!

Do you know that I have been looking all over for you

the whole day long?

Be still, my foolish heart. I've been right here.

I, uh, regret being so harsh

with that young playwright last night.

Oh, please, don't apologize to me.

You didn't like the play. That's your prerogative.

It means nothing to me.

Oh?

Have you ever thought of why you didn't like it?

Could it be that you're afraid to do a play...Now -- any play?

Between you and me,

you have been getting away with murder for years, Stella.

You know I love you very, very, very much indeed,

but you are a very limited performer.

I choose to ignore those remarks.

Of course you do.

The ability to avoid reality is a very special talent.

Elliot, you have been drinking.

And now something new has been added -- insight.

Oh, Elliot.

Why don't you stick to organizing charities?

You do that very well.

Oh, Elliot, this is ridiculous!

Oh, captain stubing!

Yes?

Do you remember the request you made to me

the other day, when I first came aboard ship?

You mean about appearing in the show tonight?

Yes. Well, I've decided to take you up on that.

Oh, hi.

Hi. I haven't seen you all day. Can we talk for a minute?

Yeah. Well, a minute. I don't want to be late.

I'm having an early dinner with Allie.

Oh.

Yeah, well, it's the last night on the ship.

I'm trying to squeeze in every minute I can.

I don't blame you. Allie's a sensational girl.

She is. She's terrific. I have to thank you for that.

I never would have met her if it hadn't been for you.

I know.

I mean, I know.

Well, they're all terrific -- missy, jan, Liz, Paula --

all of 'em.

I'm sorry. I'm doing all the talking,

and you wanted to talk to me. Go ahead.

Um...it was really nothing.

I just wanted to make sure you were having a good time.

Couldn't be better.

That's really sweet of you to be so concerned about me.

See you later.

I know how you feel.

I've been around a lot longer than you,

and he fooled me, too.

He best thing you can do is to forget him...

And his family.

I'll try.

Darling...

Mr. Hartnett...

I mean, darling, Mr. Hartnett...

There's something I gotta say to you.

Don't listen to him.

We're not interested in anything he has to say.

You're going to listen whether you're interested or not.

Well, first of all, I'll admit that I was wrong.

And I'm sorry I lied when I said I was married and I had a family.

Just I knew you wouldn't hire me in your company.

I mean, I thought that once you saw my work, it wouldn't matter.

Then when you insisted that I take my family on this trip,

I did even a dumber thing --

I went through a theatrical agent and I hired one.

Rent a family?

You mean these people are actors?

I was afraid you'd recognize me.

You're not really married?

Oh, Lisa, I love you.

Well, um, that explains a lot.

Oh, you were just fooled by our great performance, honey.

But our company policy remains unchanged.

We only hire family men.

Oh, well, uh, I mean, i will be married...

I hope.

I'm glad someone's makin' out on this tub.

[ Laughter ]

Brindemos, muchachos.

Hey.

Salud.

Salud.

Salud.

I am really --

con permiso, padre.

Por supuesto. Por supuesto, Ramon.

What I am really afraid is one of the boys is gonna get sick.

Muchas gracias for fixing my lamp.

You're welcome, Ramon. It was my pleasure.

You could say that again.

You got kids?

Uh...no.

Aw, too bad. You go good with kids.

Adiós.

Adiós.

Why do you think it'll be pepito?

Pepito -- he's the one who gets sick most of the time.

Muy bien, Ramon.

When I was a kid, I lived in an orphanage.

Oh, sweetheart --

until I ran off.

You know, if I had people care for me

the way those people care for those kids,

well, maybe I'd have turned out different.

It's never too late.

Yes, it is.

But I owe you this, Norma --

when you were in that cabin with gopher...

Yeah?

...i was jealous.

Oh, Lou! Lou, couldn't we --

no, no, no, no. It's too late, too late.

What good is the money and all my shopping...

If I can't dress up for the guy I love?

You know what our problem is?

We're both too damn selfish.

[ Drumroll ]

Excuse me, muchacha, muchachos, padre.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome.

I knew this was going to be an extraordinary night.

I also know you didn't come here to look at me,

so here, let me introduce the one, the only,

the original Dallas cowboys cheerleaders!

[ Musical introduction plays ]

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

[ "Love boat" theme plays ]

Hey, did you see that? Did you?

She winked at me.

Yeah.

Who is "she"?

Who cares? Tonight's the night, whoever she is.

I'll tell you who that is -- that's my daughter.

Our daughter.

Oh. How nice for all of you.

[ Music continues ]

[ Music stops ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey, hey, hey!

This evening is even more than I had hoped for.

Tonight I applaud you, each and every one of you,

for without your contributions,

the acapulco orphanage just wouldn't be.

But because of you,

a lot of children will be smiling for another year.

On behalf of all of them, muchas gracias.

Captain...

I would like to donate $250,000 to the orphanage.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

[ Applause ]

Thank you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Uh, captain, please, there's been a mistake.

My wife didn't mean to say that.

She meant to say, uh...

She meant to say...

$500,000.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

[ Applause ]

Thank you, sir, thank you.

You and your wife are the type of people

that make this a better world to live in.

Truly an extraordinary evening. How do you top it?

Well, if anyone can, here is the lady who can do it --

I am honored to introduce our chairperson,

a star who is loved and respected the world over --

the incomparable miss Stella Logan!

[ Slow music plays ]

Oh, did I step on your toe?

No, I have a headache.

Can I get some aspirin and bring it to you?

It's not that kind of headache, doc.

It's a heartache headache.

I think I just need some time alone.

Oh...sure.

This is it -- she's leaving...Alone.

Did she look unhappy?

I haven't seen a face like that

since my absent-minded aunt put my uncle out

and went to bed with the cat.

That bad?

You better hurry.

I wouldn't want her to be alone at the rail.

Thanks for everything, Allie.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Good luck, Mark.

Good luck, Mark.

Hi.

Just the girl I've been looking for --

I need your help, uh, as a friend.

What's the problem?

Well, um, you see, I'm a little on the shy side.

To tell you the truth, I'm in love with one of the cheerleaders.

I'm too bashful to tell her.

I was wondering if you had any ideas.

Why ask me?

Because you're a woman.

I'm surprised you've noticed recently.

You have any suggestions?

Most women like the straight-ahead approach, Mark.

Be honest.

Just say, "Allie, I love you."

Allie...

I love you.

Just like that.

That's beautiful. You'll make her very happy.

Well, there's just one thing wrong.

What?

You see, her name's not Allie.

It's Stacey.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Stella...

Stella, don't go. Please, please.

There is something that I would like to tell you.

Well, if they're anything like the other remarks,

I'd rather not hear them.

Oh, darling, those were the ravings of an idiot

who'd had a beaker too many and not enough character,

but, uh...

I saw the show tonight, and...

You really are the best there is.

And, well, I-I guess it's confession time,

but I am the "young" playwright whose work you said was, um,

"banal, inane, and," um --

trite?

Trite, thank you. Thank you, mm-hmm.

And when you tore it apart, ouch.

It hurt so much that for the first time,

I realized how much pain I had been dealing out.

Well, now that you're confessing,

I may as well, too.

I knew it was your play.

I've read your reviews too long

not to recognize that inimitable style.

And it's a wonderful play.

I said the things I did

because I wanted you to have a taste of your own medicine,

and I've had terrible guilt feelings ever since.

Say that again.

I knew it was your play.

No, no! I want to hear the part where you said it's wonderful.

Well, it is, and if you let anybody else play it,

I'll never speak to you again.

You know what that means, don't you?

Months of preparation.

Oh, months -- of course.

Constant rehearsals.

Rehearsals -- naturally.

We'll be together day... And night.

Day and night continuously.

You think we can stand each other?

Well, we haven't had much practice.

I suggest we start now.

Don't worry, captain.

You'll have our check for $500,000 as soon as we get home.

I'm not worried, and thank you again.

Oh, don't thank us.

You did a lot more for us than we did for you.

You know, you two are really jewels.

Jewels!

[ Laughing ]

Was that funny?

Jewels!

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

You take good care of her.

Oh, I will. You know that.

Oh, I hate to go. I love you.

I love you, darling.

And I love you.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

Bye-bye.

You take care.

Okay, bye-bye.

You know, in all my life, I don't think I have ever

been surrounded by quite so much beauty.

Wendy, the cheerleaders -- they're all beautiful.

I'm talking about you.

Oh, bill!

Well, I expect to see you in the office

first thing Monday morning.

I'm sorry, sir. We're going to be in Las Vegas getting married.

Oh, I just love weddings! They make me cry.

My baby.

I can't wait to meet your real family.

Oh, you'll love them, but you'll have to wait a while.

They're traveling with the circus.

Circus? That's a thought.

Hmm!

...the best.

Those orphan kids will never forget you.

Now, Stacey, don't you ever let Mark go again, okay?

Don't worry. The two of us are going to be very happy together.

The two of you?!

[ Laughter ]

Stacey!

Hey, I mean, two's company and three's a crowd,

but that's ridiculous!

I sure hate to see you people leave.

Having you onboard was a great thrill for me.

Oh. It was that and more for us.

Oh, but you have to come back

or else I'll never get another dancing lesson.

Well, I'll try, but you don't need me.

You've got captain stubing to teach you.

Besides, he's as graceful as a gazelle.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Are you sure you're all right?

On second thought, I'll send you a book.

I taught him that.

Excuse me, but I just heard the good news --

you two are going to be working together.

Well, it may go down as the first miracle on water

since the parting of the red sea.

I know this show's gonna be a big hit.

Well, we'll give it our best.

Should we, uh, ask captain stubing now?

He is the right type.

He's perfect for the part, if he's available.

Wait a second --

do you mean that you want me to --

I say we should make him an offer.

I go along with that.

Well, I'm flattered, but I don't think so.

I mean, the show could run for years, and, uh,

well, I've got my job to think about.

It'll only take a few minutes.

What kind of a part is that?

Best man at our wedding.

Congratulations.

She did like your play after all.
