[music playing]

You know what they've
come up with now?

Male beauty contests.

What's so new about that?

They've been having a
Mr. Universe and Mr.

America contest for years.

I am not talking about
the body-building stuff.

I'm talking about beauty
contests, with models.

There was a swimsuit
competition.

Guys parade up and
down in their tuxedos.

I bet they even have
Mr. Congeniality.

Oh, so what?

You know, we're looking
for equality in the sexes.

Hey, don't get
me started on that.

All I'm saying is that men
are not supposed to be pretty.

Men are supposed to be men, not
parade around in bathing suits.

What, not even on the beach?

Well, that's different.

Now, if this were Hawaii,
then it would be different.

Funny you should
mention Hawaii.

Why?

That's part of
our next assignment.

You're kidding?

You mean, you and--

come on, you're
kidding me, aren't ya?

Hey, we go where we're needed.

That's great.

Where are we going
to be staying?

How does this sound?

The Hawaiian Sands, huh?

Turn left here.

Oh, right.

The Hawaiian Sands,
that's great,

swaying palms, tropical wind.

JONATHAN SMITH:
Oh, pull over here.

MARK GORDON: Oh, great.

[humming]

Boy, Jonathan, I tell you, I
never thought, me in Hawaii.

Oh, man.

Jonathan, I got to tell ya--

I tell ya, I never
thought that we would--

Aloha.

Oh, that's cute,
Jonathan, cute.

[music playing]

JONATHAN SMITH: Excuse me.

We're looking for the manager.

You found her.

What do you want?

I understand you have
an apartment for rent.

Who told you that?

A friend of mine lives
around the corner, on Vista.

Probably that old
busybody, Watkins, huh?

Hey, look, if you don't
have a vacancy, well just--

I didn't see that.

I got an apartment.

But I was just wondering how you
found out so soon, that's all.

Oh, can we see it?

Well, it's kind of small.

Oh, here, let me
give you a hand.

I don't need your help.

Well, my name
is Jonathan Smith.

This is Mark Gordon.

I'm Aulani.

What do you do for a living?

Oh, different
things, odd jobs.

Hmm, I could use a handyman
around here, you know?

Yeah, well you don't manage
this place all by yourself,

do you?

Well, I have this one
friend who's supposed

to help me out around here.

But lately he-- uh,
hasn't been too reliable.

Like I said, a little
small for two, you know.

Oh, that's fine.

We'll take it.

OK.

Come on over to my
place and we'll get

the paperwork out of the way.

Uh, were you serious
about getting somebody

to help you out around here?

You're looking for
a break in the rent?

Just trying to be friendly.

I might take you up on that.

Here's your receipt.

You understand the
rent is higher only

because you're month to month.

Uh, that's fine.

That's fine.

[knocking]

Aloha.

AULANI: Where have you been?

I've been looking for you.

I went to the store.

They just got some
fresh poi in and mango.

And look at this laulau.

It won't taste like
the ones in Kaimuki.

Nothing grows right over here.

What's wrong this time?

These two gentlemen over
here just rented apartment 7.

And the faucet in the
kitchen is still leaking.

I thought you were
going to fix it.

You rented it already?

That was quick.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it just
as soon as I take the rest

of this stuff back to my place.

And what about the gas
leak in Mrs. Herman's?

I didn't find any leak.

I think Mrs. Herman
just likes to complain.

Well, I don't like it
when she complains to me.

Hey, I might be able to
help with that gas leak.

I used to work on
installing appliances.

I mean, if you don't mind.

You'd be doing
him a favor, give

him more time for doping off or
whatever you're doing nowadays.

You got something
going on the side?

No, some errands just
piled up and I've been

trying to take care of them.

I'll meet you back
at your place.

All right, wait.

While you're doing
that, I'll go see

what I can do for Mrs. Herman.

Let me have the screw.

That manager, Aulani,
is she always like that?

What do you mean?

Can I have the Phillips?

You know, growling
and, you know,

picking on people all the time.

Ah, don't pay any
attention to her.

Her bark is worse than her bite.

I'm glad to hear
that because she

has got one fierce bark on her.

Well, a lot of bad
has happened to her.

Oh, you mean being cripple?

That and a lot of
things, but mostly that.

She was a big star in Hawaii.

What?

Her?

Hey, don't judge her
by the way she is now.

When she danced,
it was the best.

It was like a breeze blowing
through the kiawe trees.

And sing, like an angel.

Well, what happened?

She was on her way
to church to sing for

a special Thanksgiving service.

A truck hit her broadside.

The driver was drunk
out of his mind.

The doctors never
expected her to live,

much less ever walk again.

And when she started
to get better,

they told her she'd be
stuck in a wheelchair

the rest of her
life, and there was

nothing she could do about it.

It doesn't look like
she believed them.

Aulani doesn't
like people to tell

her what she can or can't do.

I tell you, I got bills to
pay and I count on that check.

Give me a break.

I can't deliver
what I don't have.

It should have been
here four days ago.

I know.

What do you want from me?

Did you check back
at the post office?

You know how they're
always losing things there.

Did you ever think that
maybe the trucking company

didn't send it out this month?

They never make a mistake the
whole time they've been paying.

There's always a first time.

Maybe you should go yell
at the trucking company.

Aulani, I found
Mrs. Herman's problem.

She just had a valve
that was sticking.

You'd have thought that clown,
Danny, would have known that.

I doubt it.

Unless you know
just where to look,

you'd miss it nine
times out of 10.

I was just lucky.

Are you serious
about wanting to help?

Sure.

Why, you got another gas leak?

No, no, no, no, I need
a ride downtown tomorrow.

And I'm not sure
Danny's not going to be

off at one of his errands.

Yeah, sure, any special time?

The earlier the better.

You got it, 8 o'clock?

That would be fine.

All right then, I'll
see you at 8 o'clock.

Hey, you got a problem?

I guess so.

Darned if I can figure it out.

It was running fine an hour ago.

And now, nothing.

Want me to take a look?

I know a little
bit about engines.

Yeah, sure thing,
except I think it's

too late to do any good today.

I have to be at work in an hour.

What, do you work nights?

Yeah, a singer at
the club, Waikiki.

You're kidding.

What-- what do you sing
Hawaiian songs and stuff?

Mm-hmm, mostly stuff.

Boy, I love Hawaiian music.

Wait a minute.

How are you going to get
to work without a car?

Well, I'll catch
a bus, no problem.

Hey, no way.

I'll drive you.

I can't ask you to do that.

Besides, the bus passes
right near the club.

It'll take you twice
as long in a bus.

Besides, I got a perfectly
good car right here.

I tell you what, you and
Jonathan drive me to the club,

and then the both of you stay
and watch the act as my guests.

Hey, I wasn't angling for--

I know that.

Come on.

What do you say?

All right, you've got a deal.

Give me five minutes to change.

You got it.

All right.

Jonathan, Jonathan, guess
where we're going tonight.

To the club to
see Danny's show.

Why don't you get dressed?

I don't want to be late.

I should have known.

I should have known it.

Any time anything
mechanical breaks down,

and you're within a
half a mile of it.

[music playing]

DANNY: (SINGING) Whenever you're
watching a hula girl dance,

you've got to be careful.

You're tempting romance.

Don't keep your eyes on her
hips, her naughty hula hips.

Just keep your
eyes on the hands.

Remember she's telling
a story to you.

Her ohu was swaying, but
don't watch the view.

Don't concentrate on the swing.

It doesn't mean a thing.

Just keep your
eyes on the hands.

And when she goes
around the island,

swinging hips so
tantalizing, just keep

your eyes where they belong.

Because the hula
has a feeling that

will send your senses reeling.

It makes a weak man strong.

He's great, you know.

It's almost like
being in a Hawaii.

What?

I said it's almost
like being in Hawaii,

not quite, but almost.

DANNY: (SINGING) But if you're
too young to date, or over 98,

just keep your eyes on
the hands, not on her ohu.

Just keep your eyes on the
hands, not on her nanas.

Just keep your
eyes on the hands.

Hey, listen, you
enjoy the show.

I'll see you back
at the apartment.

Where are you going?

I gotta work on
the assignment.

Aloha.

OK, let me hear
it again, aloha!

ALL: Aloha!

Good evening.

Where's your partner?

Oh, he's still
back at the club.

He's waiting for Danny
to finish his last set.

Two shows?

He must be some kind of
glutton for punishment.

Mark, he's crazy about
Hawaii and anything Hawaiian.

Then what's he doing
in that phony club?

Oh, you never let up, do you?

How do you like it?

I thought the
show was terrific.

Danny's a great entertainer.

He's a clown.

He's a clown.

Come on.

You think singing "I'm the
Cockeyed Mayor of Kaunakakai"

and making all those funny
faces, you think it's good?

Well, the audience
certainly did.

They loved the show.

Piu.

He used to sing with me,
back home in Kauai He

was a real singer back there.

You should him sing our
songs, like "Akaka Falls"

and "Kalamaula," "Kuuipoi"--

music that had real meaning for
us, not those hop Haole songs,

like "The Princess Poopooly
has Plenty Papaya."

Come on.

Those kinds of songs make
him look like a clown.

Let me ask you a question.

If you love Kauai so much,
why didn't you ever go back?

Well, it's time to go to bed.

Won't you just bring
in my chair for me?

That's fine.

Right there.

You still haven't
answered my question.

Why didn't you go back?

Nothing back there for me.

Oh, that's not true, Aulani.

What do you know about it?

Well, I'd say that someone
who was as famous as the Waikiki

Nightingale would
have no trouble

finding an audience back home.

You know who I am?

Come on, anybody who's
spent any time in Hawaii

knows who you are.

That was a long
time ago, a long time.

What brought you here?

You ask too many
questions, you know that?

Yeah, I know that.

What brought you here?

When I was 19, I worked
every hotel on Waikiki.

I was a big star in Hawaii.

Then one day, this
fellow from the mainland

came backstage and
said, we're going

to do a big Hawaiian show in
Las Vegas, build it around me.

And all my friends said,
you better not do it,

Hawaiian shows don't
work on the mainland.

The magic fades, you know.

When you leave the
island, it fades.

Gotta have-- gotta
have tropic night.

Have to have
tradewinds, whatever.

I knew better.

The show closed in three weeks.

And you stayed here.

I wasn't going to let
all those people say, I

told you so.

No way.

I would go back when
I was good and ready,

when I was a big star here,
like I was back in Honolulu.

Then of course-- then
of course the truck.

And Danny was in
the show with you.

Oh, sure, one of
my backup singers.

And what about him?

Why didn't he go?

He likes it here.

He's got no drive.

He wasted his talent.

Hey, what are you writing?

A book about Hawaiian has-beens.

No, no, I'm just interested.

Yeah, well, I'm
interested in going to bed.

OK, I'll see you tomorrow.

Don't forget my ride tomorrow.

I won't forget, 8 o'clock.

Goodnight, Aulani.

All right, Miss, uh, Kealoha.

Let's stop beating
around the bush.

Just what kind of a shakedown
are we talking about here?

What do you mean, shakedown?

You think I'm faking this?

Oh, not at all.

I-- I know that
injury is genuine.

I also know that that particular
claim was settled long ago,

and with a rather large payment.

I know that.

I was there and I
signed those papers.

Then what are we
talking about here?

I'm talking about the
other checks, the ones

that you send to me every month.

Uh, Miss Kealoha, there have
been no additional payments.

Are you trying to
tell me that I'm--

Just a second, Aulani.

Are you saying that your
company has not sent Miss

Kealoha a check each month?

Not to my knowledge.

And it couldn't be done
without my knowledge.

Aulani, were they
company checks?

They were cashier's checks,
drawn on the Western Bank.

Well, there you are.

We don't even do business
with that particular bank.

[knocking]

It's open.

Have you seen Aulani?

Uh, Jonathan
drove her downtown.

What for?

Well, she said something
about a trucking company

not sending the monthly
check or something.

She was going to go down
and talk to them about it.

Damn.

Damn.

[music playing]

Hey, you're going
to be all right?

Jonathan, stay
for a minute or two.

It's scary.

Somebody has been sending
me money every month,

money that's been keeping
me alive all these years.

Oh, I think that's a
little strong, don't you?

No, it isn't.

Without those checks
every month, I don't know

how I would have gotten along.

I've come to depend
on those checks.

I have a feeling now, I--

I'm not going to
get them anymore.

Yeah, well, maybe that's
a blessing in disguise.

Easy for you to say.

You're not a cripple.

How am I going to come up with
that kind of money on my own?

Oh, come on, Aulani.

You still got your mind,
your voice, your hands.

You could go home and
make a good living.

You want me to sit around
Waikiki, making coconut hats

for those haole tourists?

No, thank you.

Not Aulani.

[knocking]

I'll get it.

Oh, I didn't
mean to interrupt.

What do you want?

This is for you.

The mailman must have put it
in my box a couple of days

ago by mistake.

What is it?

Must be your monthly check
from the trucking company.

Should have noticed it
sooner, but you know,

I sort of let my
mail pile up, sorry.

Well, see you later.

Take care.

Well, you could
have said thank you.

What for?

Oh, come on.

Danny's the one who's been
sending you those checks,

and you know it.

He's been lying to
me for all these years.

What do I want to thank him for?

Yeah, well, maybe he wanted
to save you the embarrassment

of taking money from him.

You know, as a lie, that's about
on a par with the tooth fairy.

It's still a lie.

Would you have taken the money
if you knew it was from him?

No way.

Why not?

Why not?

I don't want to be
obligated to anybody.

He doesn't want you to
feel obligated to him.

He loves you.

Oh, you are--

he's madly in love with me.

Come on.

What's the matter
with you, Aulani?

I mean, why do you think
he's been taking care of you

all these years?

And I'm not just
talking about the money.

I'm talking about
running errands for you,

fixing things around this place.

He feels sorry for me.

Oh, no, he doesn't.

He doesn't have to.

You're too busy feeling
sorry for yourself.

I don't have to sit
around and listen to this.

Where do you get off?

Just where do you
get off thinking

you've got the right to butt
in other people's business?

And where do you get off
thinking being handicapped

gives you the right to
take and never give?

[music playing]

Damn.

[car engine whirrs]

Not again.

Yeah.

And you her running good too.

Yeah.

I got a feeling I know
what the problem is.

I don't think there's anything
we can do about it right now.

You've got to be
someplace, right?

How did you know?

Intuition.

Come on, I'll give you a lift.

No, really, I
can't impose again.

Hey, you're not imposing.

We're friends, remember?

We stayed in this
great hotel on Waikiki.

You could walk through the
lobby of this place right

onto the beach.

It was great.

Then we went to
see everything, you

know the Polynesian Cultural
Center, the Arizona Memorial

Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head.

Oh, boy, was that place great.

Hey, I forgot to ask you,
where are we going anyway?

Um, anywhere around
17th and Carpenter.

Hey, I'll take
you right there.

You just say when.

You know what got me most?

Was the water.

Is it always that warm?

Mm?

Oh, well, yeah, all year round.

What a place.

Oh, you can let me out here.

But we're not to 17th yet.

Oh that's OK.

We're close enough.

Thanks for the lift.

You want me to wait?

Oh no, I don't know
how long I'll be,

so I'll take the bus back.

All right.

Thanks, Mark.

[music playing]

Hey, Danny.

Danny!

Come on, get in.

I can't park in a
bus loading zone.

It's against the law.

Come on!

Danny, come on.

Take it easy.

I'm sorry.

You want to talk about it?

No.

Sometimes it helps.

No.

Come on, maybe you'll find
out it's not so bad, huh?

You're right.

It's not really that bad.

Could we stop on the way back?

I'd like to get Aulani
some papaya juice.

It's their favorite.

You've got it, pal.

[music playing]

You're going to be OK?

I'll be fine.

You sure?

Would you come
with me to Aulani's?

I have to tell her
something, and, uh--

Need a little
moral support, huh?

Yeah.

You got it.

[music playing]

[knocking]

It's open, come in.

I brought you some
fresh papaya juice.

Well, put it in
the refrigerator.

I like it cold.

Aulani, I'm going home.

So go home.

No, I mean, really
home, to Hawaii.

How long will you be gone?

Forever.

I'm not coming back.

Why?

Because I didn't thank you for
lying to me about those checks?

Hey, I never asked
you for money.

It has nothing to
do with the checks.

Then why?

Because it's my home.

And what about your job?

You think you're going
to get a job back home?

You're only a backup singer.

I don't care.

I'll be where I want to be.

I hope you'll be all right.

I'll be fine.

What?

You think I need you?

I let you hang around
because I feel sorry for you.

Go on, go back.

Well, go on!

[music playing]

I got to tell you, Jonathan.

I don't blame him.

I mean, all the stuff
he does for her,

and she treats him like dirt.

Well, Mark she treats him that
way because she's frightened,

she's afraid.

What are you talking about?

Danny's all she's got.

He does everything for her.

She's totally dependent on him.

And in a way, she hates
him for it because she's

afraid someday he'll be gone.

Yeah, he'll be gone all
right and it'll be her fault.

Oh, no, he's not
leaving because of the way

she treats him.

If that were the case, he would
have been gone a long time ago.

No, he loves her
too much for that.

Then why is he going home?

I think he's
going home to die.

Yeah, beautiful
sky tonight, huh?

The stars look close
enough to touch.

The skies are
clearer in Kauai.

Oh, the garden aisle.

Is that where you're from?

Yes.

You know there is a
God when you see Kauai.

Mark tells me
you're going back.

Yes, I-- I leave
day after tomorrow.

They're having a goodbye
celebration for me

at the club tomorrow
night after the show,

sort of a bon voyage party.

Ah, it should be fun.

Aulani going to the party?

No.

Did you ask her?

You don't know Aulani.

She doesn't go out.

And she doesn't want
people to see her.

I've tried before, many times.

I tried to get
her to sing again.

I tried to get her
to go back to Hawaii.

It's-- it's no use.

So I say to myself, Danny,
stop wasting your time hanging

around where you're not wanted.

Time to enjoy myself.

Lots of pretty women and Kauai.

You know, you're not
a very good liar, Danny.

You love Aulani, don't you?

Don't you?

Four years ago,
I had an operation.

It was nothing, my gallbladder.

In the hospital a few
days and then out.

They gave me a
blood transfusion.

Big deal, right?

I have AIDS.

Hey, I'm so sorry.

Does Aulani know?

No.

I don't want her pitying me.

And I don't want her there
when it begins to happen.

And I don't want her to se--

Jonathan, I know what's
going to happen to me,

barring some miracle, or some
decision by the government

to spend more money saving
lives than taking them,

but what's going to
happen to all Aulani?

It's always Aulani, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm tired.

I think I'll go up to bed.

Will you come to the
club tomorrow night?

It should be fun.

Mark and will be there.

[music playing]

[knocking]

Come in.

Oh, Danny.

Boy, this is a funny show.

I though you left
for Kauai already.

No, I--

I leave in the morning.

Oh, yeah, well,
have a good flight.

I will.

This is so crazy.

I thought you might
like this plant.

I can't take it with me
and I don't want it to die.

Leave it over there.

Leave it over there
on that table.

[laughs]

Well, I better get going.

I have to work tonight.

Aloha, Aulani.

Aloha, Danny.

[laughs]

All set?

Yeah.

All right.

Hey, I like your shirt.

Oh, well, you know, I
wanted to wear something

Hawaiian for your show.

Where's Jonathan?

He said he would
meet us later.

[music playing]

Showtime.

JONATHAN SMITH: You
can't live in the past.

Why not?

It's better than the future.

So Danny was crazy in
love with me, right?

He's got a funny
way of showing it.

He's going back to Hawaii,
in case you haven't heard.

Yeah, I heard.

I always knew
he would someday.

In a way, it's a relief.

He was always hanging around,
talking about the island.

At least now I'll get a
little peace and quiet.

You're really
frightened, aren't you?

Me?

Of what?

Of being alone, of
losing the only person who

ever really cared about you.

Are you back to that really
cared about me business?

He's going.

He's walking out.

He makes me depend on
him all these years,

and then suddenly he leaves.

Of course I'm scared.

Who's going to take care of me?

Who's going to help me?

Would you listen to yourself?

Who's going to take care of me?

Who's going to look after me?

Do you ever stop to think
there are other people

in this world besides you?

You don't know what
you're talking about.

You're not crippled.

JONATHAN SMITH: Oh, I
know you're crippled.

How could I forget it?

You talk about it all the time.

Do you know how many
handicapped people

there are in this country?

Do you?

30 million.

And I'll tell you
something else.

Most of them-- most of
them are trying to put

their disabilities behind them.

They want jobs.

They want to work and
be part of this society.

They don't want to sit around
and feel sorry for themselves.

Why don't you get out of here?

Go be with Danny,
who loves me so much,

he leaves me a lousy plant.

See this?

After all these years,
this is what I get.

As a matter of
fact, I don't want

to take care of this plant.

Take it.

Let him take care of it himself.

After all the years
he took care of you,

you can't even take
care of his plant.

That's right.

I can't!

He cared more about this
lousy plant than he did me.

Danny cares about all life.

Life becomes very
important when you die.

What do you mean?

Danny is dying.

What are you saying?

That's not true.

Oh, yes it is, Aulani.

No, he's lying if
he told you that.

Yeah, he had an operation.

But it wasn't cancer.

It was benign.

Oh, he's just
looking for sympathy.

He has AIDS.

He got it from the
blood transfusion.

That's why he's going home.

Wait a minute.

What are you saying?

Why didn't he tell me?

Why?

Because he didn't
want you to pity him.

And he didn't want you to
see it him when it got bad.

You're not the only one
with too much pride.

You've needed him all these
years, now he needs you.

(SINGING) Just keep your eyes
on the hands, not on her nanas.

Just keep your
eyes on the hands.

Thank you all, very much.

As most of you know,
tonight is my last show.

I'm going home to
my lovely Kauai.

I'll miss you all.

But it's-- it's time to move on.

I only wish that--

that--

They still like us.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe we could get the
act together in Kauai again.

You would go home?

To be with you,
I'd go anywhere.

Aulani.

I love you Danny.

I love you.

I was so afraid to say
it before because I

didn't believe you could
really love me the way I am.

But love goes beyond all things.

I know that now.

Please let me be there for you.

I love you.

And I need you.

And I love you.
