[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.

This is frederiksberg.

Lisa: It's magnificent.

It's over 400 years old.

[Music playing]

The castle was originally the residence of king Frederik ii.

Now it's a museum.

It is, to the Danes, what versailles is to the French.

[Music playing]

[Breathing heavily]

I'm sorry I had to disappear for so long.

But i-- I wanted to buy you a special gift from Copenhagen.

Oh, where is it?

Oh, it's here.

It's safe.

May I see it?

Uh, now?

Yeah.

On the street.

Mm-hmm.

[Music playing]

You do know that I'm in love with you, don't you?

Oh, Erik.

There's so much that we don't know about each other.

[Music playing]

We will in time.

[Music playing]

Erik.

Please, Lisa.

It will make me the happiest man in the world

if you say you will be my wife.

[Sighs]

[Music playing]

Gopher (over loudspeaker): Attention, passengers.

Don't forget, the ship sails for Amsterdam promptly at 10:00 pm.

Well, now I know why they sing about wonderful,

wonderful Copenhagen. Because I had a wonderful, wonderful time

today.

And so did I. And you're the one who made it that way.

[Music playing]

[Kissing]

See you later.

Bye.

Judy: Peter!

Two men just came on board asking for you.

They did? Where are they?

Well, they're down in the captain's office.

Is something wrong?

[Sighs]

Look, Judy, I've got to get off the ship.

Will you stall them for me?

What?

Look, I don't know who they said they were.

But I've got to get out of here. Judy: Wait.

Wait.

I'm not going to do anything until you

tell me what's going on.

All right.

Back in england, I witnessed a murder.

I reported it to the police.

And a week later, I got a phone call

saying, if I was to testify in court,

I'd never see my family again.

Peter, I'm sorry, but--

Judy, if they find me, they'll kill me.

Please help me.

[Music playing]

Gopher (over loudspeaker): Good afternoon,

ladies and gentlemen.

For those of you who hated to leave Copenhagen as much as I

did, there is one consolation.

Our next stop is beautiful, romantic Amsterdam, the capital

city of the Netherlands, where windmills stud the horizon,

tulips carpet the landscape, and people still wear wooden shoes.

Helen?

Helen?

Mm-hmm?

Hi.

For you.

For me?

Oh, look at those flowers.

[Laughing]

And champagne.

Oh, my.

That's an incentive.

To what?

To spend a quiet, romantic evening in our stateroom

by ourselves.

Oh.

[Chuckling]

Thank you, Milton.

It's been such a long day, and I am so tired.

Why don't you go find Tracy?

Such a long day.

I'm so tired.

Aren't you?

No, I'm not.

[Knocking]

- Hi. - I'm sorry.

I have the wrong cabin.

Of course you've got the right cabin, milty.

It's me.

Oh, how thoughtful.

I'll put them in water.

Now I hope you remembered to get a little something

special for Helen.

[Scoffs]

Bye.

[Music playing]

Mm.

Look how swiftly the ship moves through the water.

Much too swiftly.

Inga, I want to stop the ship, stop the clock.

Well, you're the captain.

I mean, if you can't stop the ship, then who can?

Yes.

But there's a man in the home office

who has the power to hire a new captain.

[Scoffs]

You know something?

I had a wonderful, wonderful day.

It doesn't have to end.

But it does.

It does before somebody gets hurt.

No one's going to get hurt.

We're two adults, their eyes wide open.

Eyes can play tricks.

Sometimes, they see more than what's really there.

And worse, sometimes-- sometimes,

they don't see enough.

My eyes see the most beautiful,

the most wonderful girl in the world.

[Music playing]

I can't believe he left the ship, ran away.

Vicki, apparently he had to.

The guys that we're after him were from Interpol.

I guess whatever he did must have been pretty big.

You know, he told me those two guys

were hoodlums who were after him,

because he witnessed a murder.

I feel like such a fool

how do you think I feel?

I bought the sick grandmother story.

Well, you know what he told me?

He told me he was a novelist.

That was the closest to the truth.

He sure could make up a story.

[Music playing]

Gopher (over loudspeaker): Guten tag, viking passengers.

And welcome to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.

As visitors to this richly historic city,

you'll find yourselves constantly

encountering the past, the numerous museums,

merchant mansions and churches date

as far back as the 16th century.

Two thirds of Holland has been reclaimed by the sea thanks

to a great system of dykes that hold back the water and canals

that drain it, giving us three times as much

of this charming land to enjoy.

[Music playing]

Uh, thank you very much.

Inga, where are you going?

Oh, well, you see, i--

I tried to say goodbye to you, but you weren't in your cabin.

Goodbye?

Well, we're in Amsterdam, my hometown.

This is as far as I go.

But my ship is in port for a few days.

I want to see you.

Merrill, I don't know how to say this.

But, uh, this is not only as far as I go.

This is as far as we go.

Inga, last night--

I know-- a mistake.

You see, merrill, I tried not to get involved all along.

And that's why I did my best to discourage you.

But we are involved!

You have become very important to me.

Yes, merrill, you to me, too.

And that's why I do not want to hurt you.

I care for you, merrill.

I really, really do.

[Chatter in background]

I don't understand.

Can you do me a favor?

[Honking in background]

Don't follow me.

And don't try to find me, all right?

Inga, i--

please!

Please?

Goodbye.

[Music playing]

[Car engine starts]

[Speaking Dutch]

[Music playing]

This is great!

We look like real dutchman.

Not a real dutchman.

[Music playing]

[Kissing]

Peter.

I couldn't resist.

Well, I can.

Oh, come on, Vicki.

Don't be mad at me.

Look, I'm sorry I just jumped ship like that.

But I had to.

Why?

Well, what does it matter why?

The important thing is I came all the way

to Amsterdam to see you again.

Oh, well, I'm surprised you found the time

with a sick grandmother, a novelist,

and not to mention a murder on your mind.

Can I help it if I lead an exciting life?

[Laughing] - Peter, stop it.

The police are after you.

And I want the truth.

What did you do?

Ok.

It's kind of a long story.

But the truth of the matter is I come from a long line

of royal blood. And my family--

[sighs]

Peter, look, I'm not going to turn you in.

But if you don't face reality and take

responsibility for who you really are,

I don't ever want to see you again.

[Music playing]

I wish you were coming with us.

[Kissing]

Good luck at your medical convention, dear.

[Kissing]

I don't give a damn about the medical convention.

I just-- I want to talk to you.

Please?

See you later tonight.

Helen!

I've got to talk with you, ok?

Some place where we can have some privacy.

Please?

[Sighs]

I'll meet you at the American hotel

just as soon as your meeting is over.

I'll be there, ok?

[Bus honking]

Ok.

[Chatter]

[Honking]

[Music playing]

Hey.

Don't you want to stop, and get something

to remember Amsterdam by?

No, I don't think so.

Vicki, you got to try to take your mind off of Peter.

Peter, that jerk?

Now why do you think I would ever waste

my time thinking about him?

[Music playing]

In the 1970s, Amsterdam attracted hippies

from all over the world.

This was one of their favorite meeting places.

Lisa, is something wrong?

[Music playing]

He's the one.

[Non-English speech]

Elisabeth, how can you do this to me?

How can you do this to me?

[Echoing]

All those things we said to each other, they can't be.

What are you saying?

[Crying]

What's this?

[Music playing]

How can you do this to me?

How can you do this to me?

Traitor!

Traitor!

[Echoing]

Oh, my god.

Elisabeth.

I thought you were dead.

I-- I didn't know what to say.

When I saw you boarding the ship, i--

I wanted to tell you.

I just-- I couldn't find the words.

You found the words easily enough when you turned me in.

Everything isn't what it seems.

I did it for a reason.

I was beaten.

I was tortured.

I'm sorry!

Oh--

you're sorry?

Yes.

That makes everything better, does it?

Please, Erik!

Erik, you don't understand.

Erik!

[Crying]

Erik!

Erik!

[Gasping]

[Music playing]

Hello, captain.

Oh, hi.

I, uh, was getting nervous.

How did you do?

Well, we went over the entire passenger list.

And the only thing we could find on Ms. Van damme

was her passport number and place of birth, Amsterdam.

No address?

[Honking in background]

No, sir.

[Sighs]

Wait a minute.

Hm?

The accounting department keeps records of all billings.

Sir, she wasn't billed.

Oh.

Well, then if she paid by check, there

might be a photostat of it.

And her address would be on that.

She didn't write a check.

Well, then what credit card did she use?

She paid for the entire cruise in cash.

Cash?

It's not against the law, sir.

Captain, what if we get an Amsterdam phone directory?

That's a good idea.

You, uh, don't think i'm getting carried away, do you?

[Music playing]

[Knocking]

[Sighs]

Tracy?

I'm glad you remember me.

I thought you said you were going

to deliver a medical address.

Well, I did.

Oh?

Where did you deliver it, back in the states?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ok, lookit.

Tracy, I, uh--

I, uh-- I was out with Helen.

And [scoffs] we caught in traffic.

In a canal?

[Scoffs]

Is that the kind of lame excuse you used to give Helen when

you were spending time with me?

No.

Well, yes-- but no, no.

With Helen, see--

frankly, Milton, I suspect another women.

Tracy, how could you say that?

I swear to you, you're the only other woman in my life.

[Sighs]

The truth is we took a hotel room.

In the middle of the afternoon?

Oh, god, Milton!

You might at least have had the decency to call.

Calm down now.

Come on now.

You-- we both know how completely irresponsible

he can be at times, don't we?

True.

Helen, you're such a wonderful person.

Thank you.

You deserve much better.

Let's get some air.

Ok?

Ok.

Thank you, Helen.

[Door closes]

That was wrong of you.

I mean, something is-- a woman comes in,

and catches me with my wife.

No, no, no.

[Bells dinging]

[Music playing]

[Ducks quacking]

Mm.

Now I know why edam is famous for their cheeses.

This is fantastic.

Well, can you name one thing in the Netherlands that isn't?

Eh, it looks like Mr. Larson isn't.

[Kids chattering]

Hi, Mr. Larson.

Hi, Isaac.

Hi, ace.

Listen, we're sorry to hear about Mrs. Anderson.

What do you mean?

Oh, I thought you knew.

She's leaving the ship tomorrow.

Ace: She's flying back to the states.

She said something about trouble at home.

Yeah, I hope it isn't serious.

Yeah.

Yeah, I hope so, too.

[Ducks quacking]

[Music playing]

Uh, ladies, [Clears throat] I have,

uh, been thinking about us-- not us but-- us, all of us.

And I have come to a very--

a very important decision.

Which one of us gets you labor day weekend?

No, Tracy, that is not what I was thinking.

Well, what is it, dear?

Well, what it is, dear, is that, basically, this

arrangement is not working out.

Of course, it is.

You're just overtired.

No, I'm not overtired.

I'm hypertensive.

I'm anxiety-ridden.

I'm well on my way to a nervous breakdown.

But I'm not overtired.

No.

Milty, maybe you should see a doctor.

I am a doctor!

Tracy: When he gets like this, there's

just no reasoning with him.

Helen: A nice, warm bath and a back rub,

he'll be just as good as new.

A hot tub, I'll be as good--

I tell you.

That's it.

That it's!

That's the last straw.

I am through.

I am divorcing myself from this arrangement!

Ok, you don't have Milton foster to kick around anymore!

Now I'm going over there to sit down.

And I'm going to sightsee and enjoy myself.

[Music playing]

This is great!

[Music playing]

I love everything about Amsterdam.

It's so colorful and exciting.

I know.

I wish we didn't have to leave tomorrow.

Nah, I wish we were leaving today.

Hey, look at this.

Some big ear or something is leaving the embassy.

Let's go check this out.

Oh, you go ahead.

I think I'm going to go back to the ship.

Vicki, you didn't come 6,000 miles just to see

the inside of your cabin.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Who is everybody waiting for?

Prince Anton of lidenborg.

Prince Anton of lidenborg.

[Applause]

[Cheering]

It's Peter!

[Music playing]

Excuse me.

I'll be back in a second.

[Applause]

Meet me at central station in an hour.

Yes, your highness--

I mean, your majesty.

[Scoffs]

I mean Anton.

[Music playing]

I can't believe he's from royal blood.

It doesn't surprise me.

[Music playing]

May I help you?

Yes, I'm looking for Ms. Van damme.

That is me, ya.

Do you live here?

Ya.

Is there an inga Van damme here?

No, just me.

I'm sorry.

[Music playing]

Ok, driver.

The next address is on the zaanse schans.

Let's go.

[Music playing]

Excuse me.

Does a Ms. Inga Van damme live here?

Sure, yes.

But she's not home now.

She's working.

Working?

Do you happen to know where she is working?

In town, single.

Single?

Single 295.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

Single 295, please.

[Music playing]

Imagine.

Vicki's boyfriend is a prince.

Yeah.

I got to tell you, i'm very impressed with that.

Not me.

I'm just jealous.

Excuse me, guys.

Hi, doc.

Oh, hi, doc.

Everything all right?

Well, I'm alone.

And my wife is off at the rijksmuseum sightseeing

with my mistress.

Everything is fine.

You know, it's funny.

Oh, it's right.

Most women would have a hard time dealing

with a situation like yours.

But a lot of guys would give anything to be in your shoes.

It's all in the attitude you take.

You're right.

You really are right.

Excuse me, would you, doc?

And, uh-- and thanks.

All those rembrandts, [Inaudible]..

Oh!

[Laughing]

I'm so glad we came here.

Oh, yes.

Milton: There you are.

Milton, please.

Please don't cause a scene.

Why would I cause a scene?

I'm the luckiest man in the world.

What?

I've been thinking about our situation.

And I've come to the conclusion that, um, you were right,

and I was wrong.

This arrangement is the best thing.

It is?

Absolutely!

I mean, what have I got to complain about, right?

Two beautiful women-- they love me.

And they want to share me.

I've decided just to, you know, kind of relax, and enjoy it.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

Hi, folks, hey!

I've got somebody I want you to meet.

Yeah.

Hi.

This-- this my wife.

And this is my mistress.

[Laughing]

Milton, what has got gotten into you?

Helen, why shouldn't the whole world know?

We can make an announcement.

What kind of an announcement?

What are you talking about?

An addition to the family--

it's a mistress!

[Music playing]

Peter: Vicki!

Peter!

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I tried.

Well, you tried to tell me a lot of things.

I just don't understand why you saved this till last.

You know, being a prince really isn't a disgrace.

I know.

And I'm grateful for all the advantages I've had.

But Vicki, I've been involved in royal duties

since I was six years old, public appearances, state

functions, formal ceremonies.

I never had a moment where I wasn't guarded or chaperoned.

I just had to get away.

So the prince became a deckhand.

How did you do it?

I gave some money to one of the, uh, members of the crew.

And I took his place.

Oh.

But what made you change your mind?

Did they catch you?

No.

Actually, I owe it all to you.

To me?

Yes.

When you told me I should start taking responsibility for who

I was, it really hit home.

You're the last person in the world

whose respect I'd want to lose.

Excuse me, your highness.

Our train is ready to leave.

Oh, thank you-- but one second.

Vicki, I've got to go.

I'm giving a speech in Rotterdam this evening.

Do you have time for a goodbye kiss?

I wouldn't leave without one.

[Music playing]

Well, at least my prince didn't turn into a frog.

Ribbit.

[Laughing]

You know something, Vicki?

No matter how far apart we are, you'll always be my Princess.

[Music playing]

Hello.

Come in.

[Music playing]

Would you like a drink, sir?

I'm afraid not.

I think I have the wrong address.

Inga: Anna, you're needed upstairs.

Well, is everything to your liking over here?

[Music playing]

Oh, merrill.

[Music playing]

[Chatter]

- 45. - 30.

45.

35.

40. 40.

35, all right?

38.

38. - 35.

- 38. - 37.

37.

All right, 38.

[Music playing]

I hear you are leaving the cruise.

Yes, tomorrow.

It's because of me you're going, isn't it?

No.

No, i--

[scoffs]

Yes.

It's because of you.

You'll never be able to understand what I did.

Lisa, don't condemn yourself.

I do understand.

You survived.

That's what counts.

I was too judgmental.

You and me, we all had to do anything we could to save

ourselves, to stay alive.

No, no, that's wrong!

That's not why I betrayed you, not at all.

[Music playing]

He's the one.

[Non-English speech]

Elisabeth, how can do this to me?

Traitor!

Traitor!

Traitor!

Traitor!

[Non-English speech]

[Gun cocks]

[Gunfire]

[Music playing]

Oh, my god.

They would have shot me, too.

I knew they interrogated you.

It would take more time.

The allies were so close.

Every-- every minute counted during those last days.

I knew you'd hold back.

[Sniffling]

You wouldn't tell.

It would give you a chance to live, survive.

[Crying]

Forgive me, Lisa.

Oh, you couldn't know.

How could you have known?

But how could I have doubted you?

[Sighs]

[Sniffling]

Forget the past regrets.

It's over.

[Sniffling]

What's important is we found each other again.

[Sighs]

Oh, yes.

That-- that's the only thing that matters.

[Crying]

Oh, i-- I do love you, Lisa.

I love you.

I've always loved you.

[Kissing]

[Music playing]

Gopher (over loudspeaker): Attention, passengers.

We hope you enjoyed your visit to the Netherlands.

We are starting our return voyage to southampton

and expect clear sailing all the way.

By the morning, we'll be back in merry old england.

[Music playing]

[Sighs]

Hi.

Where's Tracy?

Oh, I have no idea.

Um, Milton, [smacks lips] I have to talk to you.

Uh, when, uh, Tracy first came to me

and told me that you were, uh, having an affair, I was,

um, [scoffs] Devastated.

I felt that I could, uh, hold on to you.

But i-- i--

I had to know if I was the one that you really loved,

the one you wanted to be with.

So this whole thing was your idea?

Yeah.

[Inhales sharply]

But obviously, it hasn't worked out the way I intended.

Well, Helen, how could it?

[Scoffs]

And I, uh--

I can't tolerate it any more.

No, neither can I.

You can't?

No.

That's why I did something to bring it to an end.

Because I love you.

[Sighs]

I really love you.

[Sighs]

[Music playing]

And I swear by my hippocratic oath never to do it again.

Well, you're going to have to tell Tracy.

I know.

So let's, uh-- let's go, and do that right now.

Milty, Helen, I'm glad I found you both together.

Is something wrong?

[Scoffs]

This isn't easy for me.

But our relationship has always been an honest one--

sort of.

[Scoffs]

And-- and I know that this is going to break your hearts.

But, uh, I can't live this way anymore.

Tracy.

Please, don't try to talk me out of out it.

My mind's made up.

Are you certain?

I've never been more certain about anything in my life.

[Scoffs]

Goodbye, Helen.

Goodbye.

Milty.

Goodbye.

Damn good nurse.

Hush.

[Kissing]

[Music playing]

[Knocking]

Merrill?

I thought your were in.

Hello, Adam.

Merrill.

You haven't had a drink in 10 years.

I haven't felt like this in 10 years.

Well, couldn't you find inga?

Yes, I found her.

Uh, one of the addresses you gave me was the right one.

Well, what happened?

She wasn't home.

The gardener directed me to where she works.

It was a brothel.

She runs a brothel.

[Sighs]

I don't know how to tell you this, Adam.

I have never been more disappointed in my entire life.

Intellectually, I can understand.

Emotionally-- I need something to help me get through this.

Yes, you do.

But that isn't it.

Try the people here who love you.

Thanks.

[Music playing]

Gopher (over loudspeaker): Good morning, ladies and gentleman.

And I welcome you all back to southampton

and say, on behalf of the captain and crew,

it's been a pleasure having you aboard.

[Music playing]

Ok, how about a final shot?

Why not, ace?

Great.

All right, here we go.

Oh, wait.

[Chuckles]

Ok, big smiles now.

Here we are.

Wait.

Wait.

Great.

Well, congratulations.

That engagement ring is beautiful.

Oh, not as beautiful as the lady who is wearing it.

[Gasps]

Tell me.

When did you first realize you were in love?

1940.

You're really weren't kidding.

This is the experience of a lifetime.

Mm-hmm.

It certainly has been all that for me.

Oh, I'm glad.

I should be glad, right?

Oh, yes, you should be glad.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Are you married?

No.

Are you a doctor?

No.

Oh.

That's a good start.

[Chuckles]

Ah, there's someone here to see you, merrill.

Inga.

I begged you not to try to find me.

I loved you.

Yeah.

And I think I love you.

And that is why i'm here to tell you how--

how terribly sorry I am for all the pain I've caused you.

Why, inga?

Oh, that's ancient history that shouldn't matter now.

It matters to me.

All right, merrill.

You see, after the war, we had nothing,

I mean, no money and no home.

And to support her children, my mother turned to prostitution.

And that's how I grew up.

That-- that was the only world I knew.

I see.

In Amsterdam, it's not against the law, you know?

Does that make it right?

Well, the life I have lived it is not easy to feel for a man.

But you-- oh, I will never-- never forget you.

Goodbye.

[Music playing]

Goodbye.

Dad, when do you think we'll get

to go back to Amsterdam again?

I don't know, sweetheart.

[Scoffs]

I can't stop thinking about prince Anton.

When you love someone, does that feeling ever go away?

Not if you don't really want it to--

sometimes, not even if you do.

[Music playing]
