Post by bunniefuu »

[Theme - Jack Jones, "the love
boat theme"]

Theme song: 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 will
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.

Hello.
Welcome aboard.

Hi.

Hey, I saw that you
were smiling at him.

I just said hello.

Honey, just say
hello without smiling.

Wendell, don't
start in on me again.

I've never given you any
reason to be jealous.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hello.

This is Suzy rand.

And I'm Wendell shamer.

Adam: Suzy, Wendell.

I've got the tickets
here someplace.

Suzy: Oh.

Those are disgusting.

Suzy: They're supposed to be.

Wendell's a makeup
man for the movies.

No kidding.

Just another pretty face.

Are you free for dinner?

That's my aztec
pyramid monster.

I'm using it for a
film in the Yucatan.

By the way, did you ever see
"the creeper from the ooze?"

I did the ooze monster, too.

Really?

I had nightmares for
weeks after that one.

Thank you.

Uh, miss rand, you are on
the aloha deck, cabin .

And Mr. Shamer, you are on
the fiesta deck, cabin .

Great.

- Have a nice cruise.
- Thank you.

- We will.
- Thank you.

Ah, there you go
again, smiling at him.

Wendell.

Isaac, she's late.

Gopher, relax.

Now, Tina's reliable.

She'll be here any minute.

And I know she'll be the
best barmaid I ever hired.

How can you say that?

You've only known
her for two weeks.

Because for two
weeks, I've been

giving her private instruction.

And she's more than
qualified for the job.

Isaac.

Hi, Isaac.

So sorry I'm late.

Oh, it's all right.

You're well worth waiting for.

Uh, Tina burnell, I want
you to meet gopher Smith.

He's the ship's purser.

Hi, Tina.

Hi, gopher.

I hope you know
how grateful I am.

This job means so much to me.

Well, Isaac recommended
you so highly,

it's just a darn
shame there aren't

any openings for captain.

Oh, uh, frank, listen.

I want you to take Tina below,
help her get her uniform

and fill out the
insurance forms.

I'll meet you at the lido
deck bar right after we sail.

Great.

I can't wait for
us to get started.

And working with her
should be fun, too.

Julie, I want you to
notify me the moment

congressman Gibson arrives.

Yes, sir.

Well, consider
yourself notified, sir.

That's what I call efficiency.

Congressman, welcome aboard.

It's an honor to meet you, sir.
I'm captain stubing.

Right, captain.

It's nice to meet you.

This is my daughter, penny.

And this is Gayle
Ludwig, my campaign

manager and my wife-to-be.

Well, only if he wins
the election for governor.

She's kidding, I hope.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice meeting you.

Dad?

Yes, honey?

Why is that man
always with us?

Is he coming on the cruise, too?

Uh, he's a friend
of mine, honey.

He-- he comes along
just in case somebody

tries to throw a
rotten egg at me.

Why don't you run
along with Gayle

and try to find out where
our cabins are, all right?

Ok.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

See you later.

Captain, I think there's
something you should know.

Besides, I may need your help.

What is it?

I started receiving
these when I announced

my candidacy for governor.

Captain stubing: Drop out.

You'll never see your kid again.

That's why the
bodyguard is here.

Do you have any idea who's
been sending those notes?

Well, a lot of people disagree
with my law and order platform,

particularly those who
are on the wrong side

of the law and order.

I can see.

Blake Gibson: The
authorities have launched

a full-scale investigation.

But they thought it
would be best if I

kept penny with me for a while.

That's why we brought her
along at the last minute.

Yes.

Blake Gibson: Of course,
I haven't told penny yet.

Captain, I'm not going to
feel safe until whoever

is responsible for these
notes is behind bars.

Naturally.

Well, your daughter
will be safe here.

I hope you're right, captain.

[Foghorn blowing]

[Music playing]

You've listed
all of the drink.

Make sure you have them sign.

And next to where
they sign, have

them put their cabin number.

You got it?

Piece of cake.

Angel's food, in your case.

Save the flattery,
Isaac, till I come back.

Tina, there are three
things you should remember.

Be courteous, smile,
and only accept

dates from the chief bartender.

Hi.

Hi.

I just got off the
phone with the FBI.

They still don't have any leads.

Where's penny?
- Oh, don't worry.

She's with the captain.

Not exactly the romantic
vacation we planned, is it?

So you owe me one.

You know something?

Maybe taking this cruise
wasn't such a good idea.

What if whoever threatened
penny is on this ship?

Then we're trapped.

Blake, you've taken
every possible precaution.

I'm sure penny
will be just fine.

I hope you're right.

If anything should happen to
her, I don't know what I'd do.

Well, careful.

Here she comes now.

Daddy, daddy!

Guess what?

The captain let
me steer the ship.

Did he really?

Just one more cruise,
and she'll have my job.

The first time
he let me do it,

we ran around in
circles for hours.

Thank you very much, captain.

You too, Vic.

Can we play shuffleboard now?

You promised.

Shuffleboard it is.

If there's one thing a
politician should learn early,

it's to keep his promise.

Let's go.
Bye-bye.

Have fun.

I know it's in here somewhere.

Just put it on
my tab, Charlie.

Thank you, Dr. Bricker.

You're welcome, Suzy.

That's very kind of you.

That's why they call me
a kindly old Dr. Bricker.

Well, you're kindly,
but you're not that old.

Darling, I'm glad to see
you're enjoying yourself.

Wendell, you
remember Dr. Bricker.

Hi.

Of course.

I wonder if Dr.
bricker remembers me--

sure.

--The man you're
going to marry.

I mean, you realize, of
course, that she's spoken for.

Well, I'll see you two later.

Wendell.

I'm two minutes late.

Already, you're trying to
pick up on some sailor.

Wendell, I am not going
to spend this entire cruise

not talking to people.

It's abnormal.

You're abnormal.

If you want to marry me, you
better start trusting me.

Honey, I'm sorry.

It's just that I don't
want to lose you.

I know I'm not handsome,
like some movie star.

Wendell, how can I
make you understand?

I don't want somebody handsome.

I want you.

You know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Honey, I'm sorry I've
been acting like this.

I won't do it anymore.

I hope you mean it this time.

I can't go through the rest of
my life being tested every day.

Of course I mean it.

Here, finish my drink.

All right.

I'm off to the hairdresser.

I'll see you at dinner.

Well, maybe one more test.

Gopher: Isaac, have
you seen Tina anywhere?

She's supposed to be
working the starlight deck.

Nobody can find her.

Hey, goph.

Will you give her a break?

It's just her first
day, you know?

Yeah, I know.

I just wish she were
off to a faster start.

Tina: Come in.

Oh, hi, Isaac.

Tina, what are you doing here?

You're supposed to be working.

I just had to take a break.

I'm not used to being
on my feet all day.

My legs are just k*lling me.

Your legs have been k*lling
me since the first minute

I saw you.

Really?

Yeah.

I don't know about you,
but I feel a lot better.

Sorry, I have to
get back to work.

This chief barman who hired
me is mean, mean, mean.

Julie, can I borrow
a pair of scissors?

There's an article in a
magazine I want to cut out.

Sure.

There you go.

Thank you.

I'll return them later,
first thing in the morning.

No problem.

[Music playing]

Where's Gayle?

I don't know, honey.

But she'll be here.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's all right.

You look real pretty.

Well, thank you.

That's why I'm late.

Takes a long time to look
this pretty naturally.

Blake Gibson: Campaign
manager with looks and brains.

Richardson doesn't stand
a chance of b*ating me.

Well, Jim never
stood a chance anyway.

Jim?

You know him on a
first-name basis?

Well, when you work for a guy.

I didn't know
you worked for him.

Well, it was years
ago, when he was

running for city councilman.

I'm sure I told you.

Well, maybe you did.

Daddy, after dinner, can
we play some video games?

Oh, sweetheart, Gayle and I
were thinking of going dancing.

Oh, ok.

Will you come and
tuck me in later?

I wouldn't miss
that for the world.

Thanks, daddy.

Julie, you should see
some of the character

masks Wendell creates.

He's a genius-- a jealous
genius, but he's a genius.

Well, they say geniuses
are hard to live with.

I know I am.

Is that who I think it
is, or am I dreaming?

That's Burt Reynolds.

I didn't even know he
was eyeing this cruise.

Good evening, ladies.

Good evening.

Mr. Reynolds, it's a
pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure is all mine.

Know what I mean?

Uh, Mr. Reynolds, do
you know Wendell shamer?

Wendell shamer?

No, I don't believe I do.

Really?

Well, I thought you
might be engaged to him,

since you're wearing his ring.

Wendell, how could you?

Wendell?

I'll show you.

Suzy, please, allow me.

Honey, it was just a joke.

So how come I'm not laughing?

Come on, honey.

Give me a break.

Sorry I'm late, sir.

Had a problem with
the Neptune lounge

with one of the barmaids.

Oh, which one?

Tina, the new one.

Well, what happened?

She spilled a drink on a
lady wearing a silk dress.

And the lady demanded
that we pay for it.

I don't know what to do
about this Tina, sir.

A lot of people are complaining.

Well, I'm sure one
of them isn't Isaac.

No, it's hard to complain
while you're drooling.

Well, if there is a problem
with this barmaid, as purser,

you know whose job
it is to handle it.

Yes, sir.

I'm sure you'll do a fine job.

Oh, thank you.

[Music playing]

Honey, do you think that
penny really likes me?

Sometimes I get
the feeling that--

Gayle, please.

Penny likes you a lot.

She's crazy about you.

Oh, I hope so.

I don't want to end up the
wicked witch stepmother.

You could never be that.

Oh.

Tell you what.

Mm-hm?

After I put penny to bed--

uh-huh?

--Why don't you and I take a
very romantic stroll on deck--

mm.

--And then go back to
your cabin for a nice,

quiet nightcap?

Sorry.

Isaac, can I speak
to you a minute?

Sure, goph.

What's up?

Isaac, I don't think
Tina's mind is on her work.

Well, can you blame her
with such a devastatingly

handsome bartender around?

I'm serious.

She's disappearing from shifts.

Her work is sloppy.

Hey, wait a second, gopher.

Now, this is my department, ok?

If it'll make you
feel any better,

I'll give her a
little pep talk, ok?

Fine.

Just make sure you use
more than body language.

Hi, gopher.

Isaac, you're so sweet.

I haven't had a chance to thank
you for the roses you sent me.

Oh, they're beautiful.

So are you.

Tina, have you found this
job difficult in any way?

Well, it was a
little tough at first.

But I think I'm catching on.

Ok.

Of course, it helps to be
working with someone as nice

as you.

Thanks.

You know, we get off
in a couple of hours.

How about if I give you a
couple of pointers over drinks?

Sounds like fun.

Oh, good.

But first, you have
to deliver these,

because you know what they
say, business before pleasure.

With you around,
business is pleasure.

Thank you.

Doc, can we have
a serious talk?

Sure.

What's on your mind?

Do you think there's
something psychologically

wrong with Wendell?

I mean, he's so jealous.

And he does such bizarre things.

Well, i-- do you mean
bizarre like hiding in a palm

tree right behind you?

Is he really?

Unless it's a coconut
with tiny, jealous eyes.

Well, then, here's to us.

Agh!

Ah.

Oops.

Vodka and tonic.

And the gin and tonic.

This is the gin and tonic.

And this is the vodka and tonic.

[Music playing]

We'll have that ping-pong game
tomorrow morning, I promise.

Thanks, daddy.

That'll be fun.

I've asked Gayle
to play with us.

Oh.

Well, maybe you'd rather
play alone with your father,

since you hardly ever get
to spend any time with him.

No, that's fine.

Three of us can play.

Good.

Now, Gayle and I are going to
take a walk up on the deck.

And I expect you to be
asleep when we get back here,

all right?

Have good dreams, sweetheart.

Night.

Don't leave this door
unguarded for one second.

When I came on this
cruise with Wendell,

I never guessed he'd
act the way he has.

I don't know what I would
have done without your help

and understanding.

Aw.

Oh.

You all right?

I think I have
something in my eye.

Well, let me take a look.

Agh!

Agh!
Oh, god.

Get the doc.

Get the doctor!

Get the doctor!

Get the doctor!

No, no, no.

He's out on the promenade deck.

Oh, no!

Could've been a contender.

Ah!

Doc!

Doc, come quick.

There's been a
terrible accident.

Ok, come on.

Hey, what happened?

It was Wendell.

He had a sword through him.

Oh no.

Well, he was right here.

Maybe he staggered
to your office.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Wendell.

You're a sick man, Wendell.

Honey, I just [inaudible]--

I never want to see you again.

And if do, that sword
is going to be real.

[Music playing]

Hi.

Hey, goph.

I had a talk with
Tina, and I don't think

there'll be any more problems.
- I know there won't.

I want you to fire her.

You what?

You heard me.

No way.

Now, you've been on her
case ever since she started.

And I know the only reason is
because I'm involved with her.

The only reason is
because she's incompetent.

You're crazy.

And who I hire and who I fire
as bar workers is my business.

And it's my business to make
sure that everyone who is hired

is doing the job
they are hired for.

That's my responsibility.

I'm the purser of this ship.
I--

hey, wait a minute.

Now, don't start that
rank stuff with me,

because it doesn't work here.

And starting tomorrow,
neither will Tina.

If you won't fire her, I will.

- You can't do that.
- Oh, no?

Watch me.

Oh yeah, Mr. Big sh*t?

Well, if you're going to fire
her, you have to fire me first.

Isaac, don't be ridiculous.

You're the one that's
being ridiculous.

I am not being ridiculous.

This is a matter of principle.

Oh yeah?

Well, I got principles, too.

And what I say goes.

If you fire her, you fire me.

Ok, you're fired.

[Music playing]

Come on, sleepyhead.

We're going to play
ping-pong this morning.

You better get up.

Penny: Ok, daddy.

Captain stubing: Obviously,
your daughter isn't out

of danger, even on our ship.

I'm afraid you're
right, captain.

With your permission,
I'd like to assign

two of my ship's officers to
help with penny's protection.

I would appreciate
that very much.

I'll notify the authorities.

I'll also arrange for your safe
conduct back to Los Angeles.

Thank you, captain.

You've been a great help.

I'm a father to congressman.

Well, it's already after.

Does anyone know why
Isaac isn't here?

No, sir.

No.

Gopher?

Yes, sir.

Isaac isn't here
because I fired him.

- You what?
- Are you kidding?

Oh, come on.
You can't be serious.

You fired Isaac?

That's right, I fired him.

Sir, you'll have a complete
report on your desk

by this afternoon.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'd like to be excused.

Excused.

Thank you.

Dad, are you going
to let Isaac be fired?

Well, I'm sorry, honey.

But gopher is the purser.

And he's in charge
of all personnel.

But you're the captain.

Can't you overrule him?

Yes, I can.

But I don't know if I will.

I want to read gopher's report.

Honey, please.

I said I was sorry.

You're right.

You're one of the
sorriest men I ever met.

Look, I don't know
what came over me.

Just give me one
more chance, please.

No.

But where does that leave us?

When we get to puerto vallarta,
I've got to go to Yucatan.

The film starts sh**ting
tomorrow morning.

Honey, the plane will
be waiting for us.

Wrong, Wendell.

The plane will be
waiting for you.

I've had enough.

Agh.

Isaac: Who is it?

It's gopher.

Isaac: Nobody's home.
- Come on, Isaac.

Open up.

What is it now,
an eviction notice?

Ok, look.

I didn't sleep a wink
last night, all right?

I just kept lying
in bed and thinking,

how can I fire my best friend?

So Isaac, I'm sorry.

I don't know what got into me.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sorry, too.

I guess we both got a
little carried away.

A little?

Hm.

Actually, I should
be thanking you.

This is the first
time in seven years

since I've been on
this ship that I've

been able to sleep late.

Can you do me a favor?

Just forget it.

Just forget the whole thing.

Yeah, sure.

Good.

And would you do me a favor?

Hm?

I'd like Tina to keep her job.

Oh, Isaac.

Oh, come on.

I--

gopher, gopher, please.

This is very important to me.

Ok, but only one more chance.

Great!

You know, just
between you and me,

I think Tina's the kind of
girl I can really fall for.

Yeah.

By that look in your eye,
I think you already have.

[Music playing]

Woman: Buenos dias,
amigos mios, and welcome

to fabulous puerto vallarta.

Spend the day browsing
in its quaint shops,

dining in one of the town's
charming restaurants,

or just stretch out
on a sparkling beach.

As they say in Mexico,
[Spanish],, which, loosely

translated, means, go for it.

[Music playing]

I still don't understand
why we have to leave

before the cruise is over.

Well, like your
dad said, sometimes,

things come up unexpectedly.

And he has to go back for
a very important meeting.

Now, let's get this packing
done as quickly as possible.

Your father is in a hurry
to get to the airport.

I bet you are, too.

What do you mean?

Bet you just can't
wait to dump me back

in that dumb boarding
school so you can

have my father all to yourself.

Penny, what's come over you?

Why would you say
a thing like that?

You don't have to act
like you're my mother,

playing up to daddy,
pretending to be

so worried about those notes.

How do you know
about those notes?

Penny, penny, answer me.

How do you know
about those notes?

Please don't tell.

No need to rush.

The plane doesn't
leave till tonight.

You're almost packed.

Good.

Yes.

I was just checking
to make sure we got

everything out of the drawers.

Two bloody Marys,
extra spicy, Isaac.

Two bloody Marys, extra spicy.

Mm-hm.

Um, Tina, please give it
your best sh*t today, ok?

I kind of stuck my
neck out for you.

And I need you to do well.

I won't let you down.

I promise.

Ok.

There you go.

I guess you have a lot
to learn about this game.

If you use the three
to cover that point,

then you can hit her
plot with your five.

Tina?

Tina?

Tina?

People are waiting for
their drinks over there.

Oh, sorry.

Catch you later.

- Isaac.
- Yeah?

Hey.

What's up, goph?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Woman: Attention, passengers.

All those with reservations for
the puerto vallarta city tour,

please report dockside.

Buses will be leaving
in minutes.

Wendell.

What are you doing back here?

I thought you left
to fly to Yucatan.

No, I changed my mind.

I got about a block away.

I called the producer.

I told him I quit.

You quit?

Yeah.

I mailed the masks
back to my assistant.

Suzy's more
important to me, doc.

I want her back.

Will you talk to her for me?

I don't know what I could say.

She likes you.

I'm sure you could think of
something to convince her.

Yeah, you're just
the guy I need, doc.

You're just the
guy who can do it.

Thanks a lot.

Great.

Uh, wait, wait a minute.

Uh-oh.

[Music playing]

[Knocking on door]

Come in.

You wanted to see me, captain?

Yes, Isaac.

Read this.

"Dear captain
stubing, I consider

the seven years I
spent working for you

the happiest of my life.

That's why it was
so difficult for me

to come to this decision."

Gopher wants a transfer.

I tried to talk
to him about it.

But he said it was
a personal matter

and didn't want to discuss it.

A transfer?

First, he fires you.

Then, he'd rehires you.

And now, he wants to
go to another ship.

Will somebody please tell me
what's going on around here?

I'll talk to him, captain.

Gopher tells me everything.

Well, at least he used to.

[Knocking on door]

Hi.

You ready?

Blake.

Where's your bag?

There's something
I have to tell you.

We better hurry, daddy.

We're going to be late.

Yeah, she's right.
Can't it wait?

We got a plane to catch.

We don't have
to leave the ship.

Penny's in no danger.

She's safe here.

Gayle, what are
you talking about?

You know the situation.

If there's something I
should know, just say it.

Sometimes, it takes
a great deal of courage

to own up and admit you've
done something wrong, no matter

what the consequences may be.

Gayle, what are
you trying to say?

What she's trying to say
is, I wrote those notes.

You?

Perhaps you two
should be alone.

Penny, I don't believe this.

You wrote those notes?

Yes, all of them.

I asked Gayle not to tell.

It's all my fault.

Why did you do
something like this?

I wanted us to be together.

Honey, we are together.

But at home, when
you're working,

you're always with Gayle.

You have no time for me.

I was afraid, if you
were elected governor,

I'd never get to see you.

Penny, you should have
told me how you felt. No.

No, I should have
seen how you felt.

I'm sorry I did such
a bad thing, daddy.

Penny, what you
did was very wrong.

But I can promise you this.

I will never again
be in such a hurry

that I don't have time for you.

Woman: Ladies and
gentlemen, we're

now leaving puerto vallarta.

We hope you've gathered some
very nice memories to carry

back to Los Angeles and home.

Buenos noches.

Hi, Suzy.

Mind if I join you?

Hi, doc.

Please do.

Good.

Look, I know it's
none of my business,

but I think you
ought to reconsider

your feelings about Wendell.

He's really a terrific guy.

I know he is, sometimes.

And loyal.

Wendell is really a
very loyal fellow.

Never once did I see him
look at another woman.

He had eyes only for you.

Yeah, well, i'm
loyal too, but Wendell

would never believe that.

I just can't stand
his insane jealousy.

He's working on
correcting that.

Well, how do you know?

Uh, well, before
Wendell went to Yucatan,

he and I had a little talk.

He said, doc, I'm going
to change my ways,

because trust is what
love is all about.

He said that?

Yes.

Wendell really is
a terrific guy.

[Music playing]

Wendell!

I'm not Wendell.

He's Wendell.

Well, I'm going to rip that
mask off his stupid face.

Wait a minute, don't.

I did it because I love
you with all my heart.

You got to believe it.

You're weird,
Wendell, really weird.

But you must really love
me to go through all that.

Look, from now on, you can
smile at anybody you want.

You can talk to
anybody you want,

because I not only
love you, I trust you.

Oh, Wendell.

Are you smiling at some
guy over my shoulder?

[Laughs]

[Knocking on door]

It's open.

Gopher, I just spoke
with the captain.

What's this about a
request for a transfer?

If this has anything
to do with Tina--

no, it has to do with me.

I let my personal
feelings interfere

with my professional judgment.

And I can't be effective
on the ship anymore.

Would you run
that by me again?

Isaac, today, people were
waiting for their drinks

while Tina was playing
backgammon with passengers.

I should have fired her
right then, but I didn't.

I couldn't, because of the
way you feel about her.

And that really opened my eyes.

I'm too close to the
people I work with here

to do my job effectively.

It's better I transfer
to another ship.

Gopher.

That's your box there.

Anything I ever borrowed from
you is probably in there.

Jimi Hendrix album.

I haven't seen this since--

first day on
the ship together.

Yeah.

You remember how great
it was when we found

out we were both into Hendrix?

Right then and there, I knew
we were going to be friends.

Come on, Isaac.

We're not just friends.

You're the best
friend I ever had.

I'm not your best
friend, because a friend

would never make you
choose between friendship

and your job.

Gopher, there's nothing
wrong with being

close to people you work with.

I took advantage
of that closeness.

If anyone should
leave, it should be me.

So if you don't take back
your request for a transfer,

then I'm going to turn
in my resignation.

You'd do that for me?

You're the only
one I'd do that for.

Ok.

We'll both quit.

[Laughs]

Gayle, I think
penny has something

she wants to say to you.

I'm sorry for
writing those notes,

for everything bad I did.

Admitting that is a very
grown-up thing to do, penny.

I'm very proud of you.

Can you forgive me?

Oh, of course I forgive you.

I love you.

And I love your
daddy very much, too.

But will you still love me
if I don't win the election?

Well, your campaign
manager, remember?

Now, the question is,
will you still love me

if you don't win the election?

[Music playing]

Oh, hi.

Isaac, what a nice surprise.

Hi.

You look like you've
had a rough day.

Oh, you could say that.

Well, don't you
worry about it.

Now that I'm here, you
have someone on this ship

to take care of you.

Why don't you just
relax, and I will--

well, Tina--

--give you-- shh--

a back rub.

Sit down.

Turn around.

Tina, um, the
reason that I'm here--

well, what I have
to say is, Tina,

I'm going to have to fire you.

Fire me?

Why?

Isaac, I've really been
trying to do a good job.

I know you have.

But it's just not working out.

But I thought you
liked having me around.

I mean, I even thought
that's why you hired me.

It is.

And that wasn't fair to you,
and it's not fair to me,

and it's not fair to the
people that I work for.

Tina, some people just aren't
cut out to be barmaids.

Well, maybe if we didn't work
so close together, or maybe

if I worked in the gift shop--

no, no, no, no.

We cannot work together.

Now, a woman as beautiful as
you, and with your personality,

you'll be able to find
another job easily.

I know.

But I can't find a
man like you easily.

If I'm not here, what's
going to happen to us?

I don't know.

We'll have to wait to see.

Tina, sometimes, your
heart gets in the way

of doing what's right.

That's what happened to me.

And now I have to
do what's right.

And you think that
f*ring me is right?

Yeah.

Then I guess there's
nothing left to say.

Sorry things with Tina
turned out the way they did.

Yeah.

I wish there was
something I could do.

I feel kind of
responsible about this.

Don't worry about it, goph.

It was my decision.

In the end, it came
down to what was

more important, doing my job
right or my feeling for Tina.

Well, I think you
made the right choice.

Me too.

Mm.

A man must stand
up for principles.

Right on.

After all, Tina's just a warm,
beautiful, intelligent, sexy

lady.

I must be out of my mind.

[Music playing]

Bye, Vicki.

Bye-bye, penny.

Captain stubing, I'm sorry
about all the trouble I caused.

Apology accepted, provided
you promise never to scare

your father like that again.

I promise.

The first thing
we're going to do

is take penny out
of boarding school

and have her come live with us.

Good luck with your
campaign for governor.

Well, with these two on
my side, even if I lose,

I'm a winner.

Thank you very much.
- Bye-bye.

Bye.

Thanks for sailing with us.

Well, it looks like everything
worked out fine between you

two.

Everything's great.

And Wendell has promised,
no more impersonations.

Well, maybe one more.

I'm going to impersonate
a loving, trusting person

forever.

Goodbye, Suzy.

Goodbye, doc.

See that?

I don't mind you
hugging that man.

It's a new me.

Ok, Suzy, cool it.

Bye.

Well, guys, I'm sorry it
ended up the way it did.

But thanks for
giving me a chance.

And if that captain job ever
opens up, I'm available.

Bye, Tina.

Good luck.

Will I see you again?

I hope so.

Me too.

You know, goph?

Hm?

I learned a very important
lesson this cruise.

What's that?

Never to let you
use my records.

My Jimi Hendrix album is
scratched beyond belief.
