All boarding passengers -- to
celebrate our cruise to Japan,

we're now serving sake and
Sushi in the purser's lobby.

[ Speaking Japanese ]

Enjoy.

Yes, you folks are in
for a real treat in Japan.

Thank you, Isaac.
I'll take it from here.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we are going to be sailing

from the port of Los Angeles
directly to Japan's

second-largest port
right here, Kobe.

-Gopher.
-Hmm.

It is not pronounced "kobee."
It is pronounced "kobeh."

The "e" is
pronounced "eh."

Excuse meh.

It's quite all right.

Anyway...
-Oh, please.

Thank you.
From Kobe,

we will travel on
to the ancient city of Kyoto,

and we will also
make a side trip down

to the fabulous shrines
in nara.

And both of these,
by the way,

happen to be
the ancient capitals of Japan.

From there,
we'll get back on the ship,

go here to Yokohama,
Japan's largest port.

And then, we get off and go
inland for a few days in Tokyo.

-Gopher.
-Hmm.

It is not pronounced
"tokio."

It is pronounced "Tokyo,"
two syllables, Tokyo.

-Tokyo.
-Tokyo.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

From Tokyo,
we will then go back to L.A.

It's not pronounced "l-a."

It's not?

It's "la."

[ Laughter ]

I just love our cabin,
mother.

Isn't this a beautiful ship?
-Yeah.

You know what I like
about it most?

-What?
-Soon,

you could be
rich enough to buy it.

Oh, mother.

Oh, excuse me.

Um, um, I think I got off
at the wrong deck.

Is the fiesta deck up or down?
-Sorry.

My daughter and I
don't know our way around yet.

Wish I could help.

Why don't you ask
one of the crew?

Because they don't look
as good as your mother.

Oh.

-Uh, I'm Harvey Willis.
-How do you do?

Uh, I, uh, hope we'll be
seeing each other again.

Definitely.

Wow.
This is gonna be some cruise.

[ Telephone ringing ]

[ Japanese music playing ]

No, thank you.

The elevator is right
over there, Ms. Pearsell.

You're one deck down.
-Thanks.

Anything else
we can do for you?

Yeah, you can hand me
a telegram from my boss,

saying I don't
have to go to Japan.

Oh!
-Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Uh, you look loaded down.
Can I help you out?

Absolutely.

I'm, uh, bud O'Hara.

Lila pearsell.

Nice to meet you.

Well, you sure
got a lot of cameras.

Should've waited
till you got to Japan.

You know,
you get them there cheaper.

So I've heard.

Oh, you're gonna
love Japan.

I'll show you some great places
to take photographs.

I've been here before.

Lucky you.

Ah, yeah. So far,

I think I've been
pretty lucky.

Hey, gopher!
Hey, gopher!

-What?
-Wow.

Listen, do you know
who's coming on this cruise?

No. Who?

Barney and Gladys Gordon.

That's the dockworker

that won $ million
in the state lottery.

Oh, wow.

I love it when a little guy
like this gets lucky.

And then,
when I saw the stoplight...

[ Laughs ]
...It's gorgeous.

Let me ask you,
Mr. Gordon,

what do you plan to do
with the $ million?

Uh, well, uh, the missus
and I are simple folk.

Money isn't gonna
change our lifestyle any,

right, honey?
-Amen.

Uh, folks, what say we let
the Gordons enjoy their cruise?

No more pictures, okay?

-Hey, kid.
-Hmm?

Bring it to my room.

-Oh, and, um, kid...
-Mm?

Would you send a bottle of
champagne to our room, pronto?

Hey, what do you mean,
a bottle of champagne?

Make that a six-pack.
-Oh, Barney.

Welcome to the club elegant.

-Excuse me.
-Yes, hi.

-Uh, we're the Hoffmans.
-Hello.

Hi. Can we put something
in the ship's safe?

See, my daughter
bought this at an auction,

and it once belonged
to an ancient Japanese emperor.

-Mother, please?
-Well...

Oh, it's magnificent.

It is.
Thank you.

It's very valuable,

and I will feel a lot better
if it's in the safe.

Oh, I understand.

-Very lovely.
-Oh, thank you.

And the silk's
not bad either.

I'll have gopher --
he's our purser --

open the safe for you.

Good.

Then I'll find a safe place
for my daughter.

Excuse me.

[ Speaks Japanese ]

That's Japanese
for "welcome aboard."

Oh, hi.
That's English for "hello."

I'm Martha chambers.
-Well, how do you do?

I'm Julie McCoy,
your cruise director.

And this is captain stubing.
-Welcome aboard.

-Thank you.
-Hmm.

Oh, "Japan today,"
"history of the samurai."

Looks like you're loading up
on information about Japan.

-Well...
-First visit?

No, my third.

I teach oriental studies.

Oh, I envy you.

I've always found the history
of the orient fascinating.

Oh, if you'd like,
feel free to browse.

Oh, thank you.

It's not often the student

gets a chance
to carry the teacher's book.

Thank you.

-He's a charming man.
-Mm-hmm.

-Is he, um...

Single? Yes.

Available?
That's up to the captain.

Oh, Ms. Chambers, you're
on the fiesta deck, cabin .

Is that,
uh, near the captain?

No, I'm afraid not.

Too bad.

I'll give you yen for a map
to the officer's quarters.

[ Air horn blows ]

♪♪

Ohayo.

Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

Word from the bridge
is that in the last hours,

we've traveled , nautical
miles on our journey to Japan.

To make it
even more enjoyable,

we'll be offering exciting
illustrated lectures

and movies
on the culture of Japan.

Check your Princess patter
newspaper daily for times

and locations.

Hi.

Hi.

You have nice muscles
when you smile.

Uh, well,
you never told me,

what's a nice and sexy lady
going to Japan alone for?

Well, your editor says,
"go take pictures,"

and you go take pictures.

Didn't want to go?

-Not particularly.
-Why?

I think you'll like it
if you give it a chance.

What have you got
against Japan anyway?

I've never seen
my father walk.

I never will.

Oh, uh, world w*r ii.

Sorry.

So am I.

-Ms. McCoy.
-Yes, sir?

Excuse us, please.

Will you return this book
to Ms. Chambers for me?

Oh, yes, sir.

Tell her
I read it last night,

and I found it
very interesting.

Thank her for me,
will you, please?

-I will.
-Uh, Julie, have you

assigned any of the passengers
to my table for dinner?

Well, not yet, sir,
but I was thinking...

Well, if she's not busy, I think
Ms. Chambers might re...

I'll ask her.

Fine.
I'd love to see her there.

Yes, sir.

So tell me, Celia,
what brings you to Japan?

Well,
can you keep a secret?

A gentleman in Japan's
paying for my trip.

No, it isn't
what you think it is.

Mr. Yasamoto's
paying our way

'cause he's interested
in a piece of silk

that joanie owns.

That must be
some piece of silk.

Mm-hmm.
According to Mr. Yasamoto,

hundreds of years ago,
a Japanese emperor

cut a valuable silk artwork
into three equal pieces,

and joanie has one of them.
-Go on.

Well, when the three pieces
are put back together again,

the picture they form

will lead us to the emperor's
hidden treasure.

That's some story.

How does this, uh,
man in Japan figure into it?

Oh, he's got one
of the pieces.

And in his letter,
he said we'll meet the owner

of the third piece
when we get there.

And when we find the fortune,
we'll split it three ways.

Well, I hate to dampen
your spirit, Celia,

but the emperor's fortune

could turn out to be like
the emperor's new clothes --

invisible.

Hey, I haven't seen you around
since we sailed.

I'm -- I'm Ben cummins.
-Hi.

Joanie Hoffman.
-Hi.

I was afraid my mother

might've scared you away
for good.

Oh, not a chance.

The minute I saw you with
that beautiful silk artwork,

I knew I had to meet you.

Are you interested
in Japanese art, too?

No, just Japanese
art collectors.

Can I sit?

Ah, this is the life,
huh, Gladys?

Yeah.

Remember the days
when we had nothing?

How could I forget?

It was my whole life
till Thursday.

-Mr. Gordon?
-Hey.

-Mrs. Gordon.
-Hi.

You're standing
in her light.

Sorry.

-Hey, gopher.
-Hmm?

Treat your taste buds to
a party, Havana, bucks a pop.

Oh, thank you.

Forget it.

I mean, when's a fella
on your salary

gonna afford
one of those babies?

Oh, Martha.

The captain asked me
to return this to you.

He said he found
it very interesting.

Oh. I guess if he found me
interesting,

he would've returned it
himself.

Why don't you ask him
at dinner?

He wants you
to dine with him.

He does?

Julie?
-Yeah.

I accept.

Late seating dinner

is now being served
in the coral dining room.

Our special courses tonight

will include a variety
of Japanese cuisine.

[ Indistinct conversations,
soft music playing ]

Good evening.

Oh, uh, fella. Here, uh,
would you see the missus

and I get the best, uh,
table in the house?

Sir, I'm the captain.

Well, then split
that with the maître d'.

Thank you,
but no thank you.

Oh, bucks doesn't seem
to go as far as it used to.

Waiter?

-Hi, Julie.
-Oh, hi.

I hope the captain
likes my gown

and, um, what's in it.
How do I look?

If you looked any better,
it'd be illegal.

Well, I guess it's time
to forget my oriental studies

and go study
the American man.

Yeah.

Vicki: Dad, why do they
call this shabu-shabu?

Well, that's because you're
supposed to put the meat

in the boiling water

only as long as it takes
to say shabu-shabu.

-Good evening, sir.
-Good evening.

Sorry I'm late, captain.

Oh, that's perfectly
all right, Ms. Chambers.

You're definitely worth
the wait.

Everybody,
this is Martha chambers.

Ms. Chambers is an expert
on Japan.

That's why I invited her
to join us.

Um, two orders of toro,
two orders of yellowtail

and two orders
of salmon roll with quail egg.

You're gonna love
the Sushi.

And if I don't?

I'll get you a hot dog.

You ever hear
of the expression,

"male chauvinist"?
-Yeah.

In old Japan, the male
was always dominant,

and there was practically
no divorce.

It's tradition.

The man
pours the woman's drink,

and the woman
pours the man's.

Satisfactory, my master?

I think you'll find
the Japanese people

among the most gracious
in the world.

Uh, by the way,
Ms. Chambers, um,

I almost forgot to ask.

Uh, a friend of mine
wanted me to ask about

the, uh, what do you call 'em,
the, um, well, you know,

the, um, geisha girls.

Oh, um, well,
actually, gopher,

they're never referred to
as geisha girls, just geisha.

That's singular
and plural.

And, gopher, uh,
you can tell your friend

that you have the wrong idea
about the geisha.

Oh, in fact, geisha
are very respectable women

who are trained
professional hostesses.

They date back
to the th century.

What does "geisha" mean?

Literally translated,
it means "talented person."

They're experts
in practically everything

and can converse on every
subject from sports to business.

As long as they stay
out of medicine.

I've got
enough competition.

Well, they sound
like fascinating women.

I hope we can meet some.

Oh, maybe in Kyoto.

The Japanese cruise people

are going to have
a welcoming party for us.

Oh, well, then,
you probably will.

Great.
I look forward to it.

I wish to propose a toast
to Ben and myself for having

the two loveliest dates
on this whole ship, uh,

except for you and joanie,
of course.

[ Laughter ]

-Hi, folks.
-Good evening.

Mm, hi.

So how are the silk twins
tonight?

Silk twins?

Well, you and Ben
may not look much alike,

but those two pieces of silk
you put in the safe sure do.

Uh...enjoy your, um, dinner.

You have one
of the other two silk pieces?

Why didn't you tell me,
Ben?

Well, I got a letter
from Mr. Yasamoto,

and he said to be discreet.

That's what he said
in my letter too, Ben,

but the word is discreet,
not deceit.

Yeah, joanie.
I was gonna...

Hey, wait a...
Oh, joanie.

Joanie?
-Excuse me.

-I was going to...
-No, please.

♪♪

Ladies and gentlemen,
Konichiwa,

which means "good day."

We're now passing
the outer islands of Hawaii.

Get your cameras because
you won't want to miss this.

[ Laughter ]

Oh.
Oh, Barney...

-Hmm?
-Get some mats, huh?

Me?

My getting days are over.
-Oh.

-Hey, gopher.
-Mm?

$ for this number,
gopher.

For bucks,

it'd be a shame to get even
a speck of dust on it.

Can't you get a mat
or something?

One mat coming up.

Okay.
Here ya go.

Lucky you.
You just got our $ mat.

Now, it just
matches your belt.

Joanie.

You're not being fair.

You haven't given me
a chance

to explain about my piece
of the silk.

Give me one good reason
why I should.

Because I don't want to ruin
what's building between us.

If you cared about me,
you'd be honest with me.

I know. It's just...

I guess
I'm just cautious by nature.

Well, maybe I need someone
a little more straightforward.

Is that straightforward enough
for you?

That's a start.

♪♪

[ Rock music playing ]

Is this the way
they dance in Japan?

Little bit closer.

Oh, no wonder
you go there so often.

[ Music ends, applause ]

I enjoyed that.

If you enjoyed that,

I've got some other ideas
you might enjoy.

All in good time,
my dear.

All in good time.

Excuse me.

Well, looks like you
and Ms. Pearsell

are hitting it off nicely.

That's only for now,
though, Isaac.

She, uh,
doesn't like the Japanese.

Uh, you lost me.

Oh,
I didn't tell her yet,

but, uh,
my father's Japanese.

Oh.
Well, that's funny

'cause, uh,
you don't, uh...

Look Japanese?

Yeah.

Well, my mother's Irish.

I don't look Irish,
do I?

Hey, tell me something,
Isaac.

I mean, I'm sure
you've ran into this problem.

How do you deal
with prejudice?

Well, my situation's a little
different than yours.

The prejudice
I've had to face

is 'cause of something
I can't hide.

Maybe it's better
that way.

Oh, I don't know
if it's better that way,

but, uh, you meet
the problem head-on.

Cheers.

Julie, the captain
doesn't know I'm alive.

I don't think
he'd notice me

if someone yelled,
"woman overboard."

-Oh.
-Hi, Julie.

Martha, you're just the woman
I've been looking for.

-I am?
-Yes.

Could you loan me
another book,

one that tells
about the geisha?

I'm really fascinated
by them.

Oh, sure.

This one should do it.

Oh, why, thank you.

Thank you.

See what I mean?

You want me to yell,
"woman overboard,"

and see what happens?

You know, joanie --
thank you.

I -- I'd really like to see

what our pieces
of silk look like together.

Maybe we should take a look.

Oh, I think ours is just fine
in the safe.

Maybe
we should wait, Ben.

It's only two more days

till we see
Mr. Yasamoto in Kyoto.

Uh, excuse me
for butting in,

but if this artwork
is really worth something,

you'd better be careful.

I mean, what do you know
about his guy?

People have been known
to do funny things

where money is concerned.

[ Radio chatter ]

Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.

This is
your captain speaking.

We have now passed
midway island

and the international
date line.

For the next hour, we will
experience gusty tradewinds

on the upper decks.

Have a nice day.

Barney and Gladys Gordon
are driving me crazy.

I asked Barney if he
wanted a Tequila sunrise.

-Mm-hmm.
-He said, "are you crazy?

I'm not getting up at the cr*ck
of dawn to see that."

I know what you mean.

He's driving the passengers
away in droves.

Mr. Gordon
is telling everybody

that he has
a summer house,

a winter house and one
for unpredictable weather.

Hey, you guys are not gonna
believe what Barney and Gladys

just ordered
for an afternoon snack.

-What?
-Caviar and ding dongs.

-Yuck.
-Yeah, I hate caviar.

Your mother
sounds like a great woman.

She was.

What's your dad do?

He's a manufacturer.

Oh.
Mine's a lawyer.

He never let his handicap
slow him down either.

I mean,
you should see the way

he maneuvers that wheelchair
around a courtroom.

He's the best trial lawyer
there is.

He said it's because he
thinks faster on his feet.

I mean, that's the kind
of humor he has, too.

So, what's
your dad manufacture?

He makes cameras.

He's got a factory in L.A.
and one in Japan.

Oh, so, well,
no wonder you've been there.

Mm.

How does he get along
with the Japanese?

They treat him as one
of their own.

Does he speak

Wonderful.

This painting?

His face.

His painting...

Well, with all
due respect, you know,

you can't look at his work
as you would a --

a European artist
or even an American.

The whole approach
is different.

How?

Well, he's not so much
an observer

of what he paints
as he is a part of it.

I mean, the subject, his hand,
the brush, his work,

himself,
one thing, one essence.

Sounds very profound.

Uh, Japanese
are not simple.

Konichiwa, Julie.

Martha!
I can't believe you.

How could you
have done that,

try to pass yourself off
as a geisha?

Huh, it wasn't easy.
One of the girls

tried to give me
a -year course in hours.

Sorry, Julie.

I just had to figure a way
to be near him.

Well, no harm done.

I'm just glad it's over.
-You're glad?

Ah, good afternoon, ladies.

-Hi.
-Good afternoon, merrill.

Martha, you really
missed something.

I just met the most
captivating geisha, myoshi.

I wish I'd been there, merrill.

It was like
a dream come true.

Come on, papa-San.

See ya.

Bye.

for an hour,

Today, in Kyoto,
Princess passengers will see,

with its lovely gardens.

We have a wonderful day
ahead of us,

Celia: It says here

that the buddhas
at the renge-ji temple

are years old.

Wow, I hope I look as good
as that when I'm that age.

You are something,
you know that?

You're so positive,
so full of life.

Well, that's what my husband
used to say.

I wasn't so full of life
after he d*ed.

But joanie was wonderful.
She was a big help.

She really
pulled me through it.

-She's a terrific girl.
-Mm.

She and Ben
are quite a hot item, huh?

Yeah.
Too hot, if you ask me.

What if he's planning
to steal joanie's piece of silk,

run off to Mr. Yasamoto,

and keep two-thirds
of the fortune for himself?

That's what I'm wondering.

You know what else
I like about you?

What's that?

Your wild imagination.

Do you know
what I'm imagining right now?

Can't imagine.

You're about to kiss me.

Oh, I'd hate to leave that
to your imagination.

You'd like it, wouldn't you,
if I walked behind you?

I didn't say anything.

But, of course,
you approve?

I just pointed it out,
babe.

I love you, I think.

I'm glad...
I think.

We gotta stop
thinking so much.

You're right.

Oh, I just
got the greatest picture.

Great!

-What's that castle called?
-Nijo castle.

Isaac:
It was built in .

Well, I'll tell you,
they sure don't make castles

like they used to.

I can't wait to show everybody
that new ring I bought you.

-Barney, hold it a minute.
-Huh?

-You don't flaunt wealth.
-What?

You gotta wait
for them to notice it.

It's the class way.
-But...

Hi.

-How you doing?
-Hi.

-How are you?
-Fine, thank you.

Oh, captain, my captain.

Sure is hot.

Anybody mind
if I take off my ring?

Oh, you bought a new ring.

Yeah,
isn't it gorgeous?

It's beautiful.

Yeah, it's a genuine Pearl,
cultured.

For you, Barney,
what else but cultured?

Oh, well, cost a bundle.

But I figure, uh,

my tax expert said
I should make some investments,

so I thought I'd get
the ring, and...

Well, we gotta run.
We gotta see this temple.

So you guys
have a good day.

-Bye.
-See ya, bye.

Barney,
you know what I think?

I think we are
driving people away

with all
of this money talk.

Huh?

And since when do you
have a tax expert?

Well,
what do you call moe?

-Moe?
-Yeah.

Is a tax guy with an office
over a barbershop.

He is not an expert.

So what is he?

A barber
with a night job.

Julie.

Konichiwa,
my captain-San.

Konichiwa, myoshi.

How nice it is
to see you again.

What are you doing here?

I stay with you rest of time
in Japan.

My services
have been purchased

as a gift to you
by your friends.

That's wonderful.

What friends?

Uh...uh, Mr. Takagi.

Mr. Takagi has made me
very happy.

And you've arrived
just in time, myoshi.

Maybe you can tell us
more about the nijo castle.

Hai, captain-San.

Nijo castle built by ieyasu,
first tokugawa shogun,

to serve as his residence
when he visited Kyoto.

Well, myoshi,
what exactly is a shogun?

Shogun were warriors, samurai,

who ruled, uh, Japan
in the name of the emperor.

So the highest power
was the emperor?

Emperor was head of government
only in name.

Shogun was m*llitary commander
appointed by the emperor,

but real head of government.

Shogun very strong,
very powerful.

If captain-San
lived back in that time,

he would be a shogun.

Really?

Hai.

[ Echoing ] Shogun.

Hai.

What do you wish?

Lord Yoshida, I have come to ask
for the hand of your daughter.

Which one?

I have two.

These are my daughters.

-Hmm.
-Hmm.

Lady norico.

Lady kokugon.

Either one.

He is, uh, very handsome,

I pick her.
Smart one.

Hai, but it is my desire

I will defend his choice...

Uh-oh.

I did not get to be shogun
for nothing.

Tall one not bad either.

She does not feel well.

Oh.

Take two herbs

The source of my fever

Oh. In that case,

Mama-San always wanted me
to marry a doctor.

Oh.

Ha, doctor a smart one.

But I wish both of my daughters
to marry princes.

Oh.

-Excuse me, shogun-San.
-Mm.

I have a suggestion.

Why not make
the physician a prince?

Good idea, general.

You are a prince.

You are not a bad guy,
yourself.

You are a very wise shogun.

And you are a smart general.

Let us leave these lovers
and fight a duel.

A duel?
To the death?

Aye.

Oy vey.
