Can I go swimming?

Sure.

Don't you think we oughta change
into our suits first?

This is the most enormous boat
I ever saw.

Oh, not enormous enough.

Excuse us.

Oh, it is big.

You know,
if they stood this baby on end,

it would be as tall
as a -story building.

But why anyone would wanna
stand it on end is beyond me.

I'm merrill stubing,
the captain of this baby.

I'm Cal Gerard.
This is my son Brian.

I'm gopher Smith.
I'm the purser of this baby.

You two are on
aloha deck .

That's right into
the elevator there.

Thank you.

Well, Mrs. Lester,
why don't you meet

some nice people right away
and start breaking the ice?

You're absolutely right.

Let's start chipping away.

Okay.

Welcome aboard.

Oh. Well, I'm just tickled pink
to be here.

[ Chuckles ]

My name is Milly brown.

This is my husband, Marvin.

Well, I'm Isaac Washington,
chief barman.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown, I'd like to
introduce you to Heidi Lester.

Oh, hello.

Hi, Heidi. Hi, Isaac.

Marvin, say hi to Heidi
and Isaac. [ Chuckles ]

Marvin?

Huh?

Oh. [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Um, um, hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, I'm sure
you can handle it from here.

I am so excited.

I mean, we didn't know
till a couple of days ago

that we were going
on this cruise.

Marvin came home very early
from work and said, "pack.

We're goin' to Mexico."

Why, it almost felt like
we were running away.

[ Laughing ]

Running away!

What a sense of humor
she's got. [ Chuckles ]

Oh, she really
cracks me up sometimes.

Ooh. Oh, dear.

I-I think I'd better go see

if I can find a-an antacid
somewhere.

Oh, and I better go
fix my hair.

Wanna look pretty.

Mm.

That is, um,
relatively speaking.

Well, let's go, fellas.
I'm headed that way.

See you guys later.

It's gonna be fun
having them on board.

Uh, let's get one thing
straight, miss, uh...

McCoy.

This is not a pleasure cruise.
We're here working.

I am sh**ting a video,

and I need you
and the passengers

to respect the fact

that a great deal
of time and energy and money

have gone into this project.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

Well, hi.
Welcome aboard.

Oh, my.
You almost didn't make it.

I bet you got stuck
in traffic.

Oh, I hate that --

sitting there,
checking your watch.

You know you're gonna be late,
so you lean on the horn.

Of course,
that doesn't do you any good.

I didn't get stuck in traffic.

Huh?

I only decided to take the trip
on a spur of the moment.

Oh, spur of the moment!
I like that.

I'm impulsive myself.

Say, how 'bout dinner
tonight?

Uh, I don't think so.

Well, hi.

May I help you, sir?

Oh, excuse me.

Have you anything
for an upset stomach?

I don't know.
That's not much of a trade.

That's not much of a joke.
Let me check.

Oh, gee. Thanks.

Wait...jack.

I didn't know
you were taking this cruise.

Neither did I,

till I found out that you were
planning on leaving the country

without paying back
the grand you owe me.

Oh, don't worry.

I-I've got the $ , .

Good,
because if you didn't,

I can't tell you
how broken up I'd be,

or vice versa.

It's nothing personal,
you understand.

It's just business.

Well -- well, the money
isn't here.

Well, why don't you
take me there?

Ooh, you don't look
so good.

Huh?

Listen,
if you feel like talking,

I am a very good listener.

I've been worried lately.
Business is bad.

Well, I thought that's why
you came on this trip,

to get away
from your problems.

My problem came with me.

Well, mine didn't.

I left my husband at home.

Oh, I didn't know
you were married.

Yeah.
Well, I'm separated.

Of course, I don't think my
husband noticed it yet, however.

I'm sorry.

Ah, don't worry about me.

There are a lot of fish
in this sea.

Yeah.

I'll probably wind up
sleeping with them.

Huh?

[ Sighs ]

Well, it's just that
I've gotten myself

into a little
financial difficulty.

My business was failing,
and I borrowed some money.

Ooh.

Got something in your eye?

Uh-huh.

Wait, wait, wait.
I'm real good at this.

All right.

Hold on.

Yep.

Ooh.

Okay, now.

There.

Any better?

No.

Hello, Marvin.

Lovely day for a cruise.

Aren't you going
to introduce me?

Heidi, uh,
this is Jack Hamilton.

Pleased to meet you.

Oh, I, uh, thought that things
might be getting

a little too hot for you,
Marvin,

so I ordered some drinks.

Oh.

Why, thank you.

Uh, put these
on Mr. Brown's tab, please.

And, Marvin, don't forget
our appointment in acapulco.

Nice meeting you, Heidi.

Well...
He's a nice-looking guy.

Is he a friend of yours?

I'm afraid
we're almost inseparable.

Mm-hmm.

[ Knock on door ]

Yo.

It's me, dad.

Look who I found.

Hello, Cal.

Catherine.

Surprised?

Nothing you do surprises me.

I thought it was your idea.

It's all right, Brian.

Come in.

You didn't do a very good job
of covering your tracks.

I didn't want you to worry.

How thoughtful of you.

You could have left a note --
"dear Catherine,

I'm stealing your son.
Have a nice day."

He's my son, too.
I wanted to see him.

Well, I never stopped you
from seeing him.

You can both see me.

You moved to California.

I got a better job.

Well, I've got a job, too,
but I can't travel , miles

every other weekend
to be with Brian.

So your solution to the problem
is to just take him?

What choice did I have?

And what were you going
to tell the judge?

"I'm sorry, your honor.

"I know kidnapping
is a federal offense,

but what other choice
do I have?"

Please, don't start this again.

do you think it's possible
that maybe we could get

the temptations to do a concert
for the passengers?

Well, maybe
if we hit an iceberg,

they'll sing
"nearer, my god, to thee."

Now stay out of the way!

Please, call me Jack.

Hi, Marvin.

Uh, excuse me for a minute,
girls.

What were you talking
about over there?

Marvin, your wife
is one hot-looking lady.

Well, uh, she did
just have her hair done.

Marvin, I know you don't have
any money in Mexico.

How did you know?

Experience.

I've seen these things happen
time and time again.

A guy gets in trouble
with his business,

and he borrows money.

And he gets in
a little over his head.

And I sympathize.

You do?

Absolutely.

But in all fairness
to my profession,

I have to injure you,

and badly, I'm afraid.

But why?

Because if I let you
off the hook, Marvin,

people are gonna think
I'm soft.

And in my business,
we don't do TV commercials.

We depend on word of mouth.

Please, please.
I'll do anything.

Anything?

Whatever you want.

I've got to ask you a question.

No matter how crazy
it may sound, believe me,

I wouldn't ask it if it
weren't absolutely necessary.

Okay, Marvin.

You...um...

If you...

You want dessert?

Judy, do you have a minute?

Sure, Vicki.

You -- you've had a lot
of experience with men,

haven't you?

Yeah, with some.

A little.

Once or twice.

Why?

Well, I was just wondering,

have you ever used the fact
that you're a woman

to get something you wanted
from a man?

Well, uh...

Some women can, uh, turn a man
to putty by batting their eyes

and saying, uh,
"I've met a lot of men,

but you're really
something special."

[ Both laugh ]

You're kidding.
That works?

Well, I've never tried
that particular line myself,

but I've heard
men are suckers for it.

Well, if you could turn a man
to putty like that, would you?

Of course.

It sure beats sitting at home
with a book on a Saturday night.

Thanks, Judy.

And by the way,

don't write off having a concert
by the temptations just yet.

What are you doing?

We're getting off the ship
when it docks in acapulco.

Why?

'Cause we have to.

get off the ship.

on your mother showing up.

She will be just as nice as she
can be until the cruise ends.

she'll have two policemen
waiting for me.

You want me to go to jail?

when she learned
her son was gone?

I suppose so.

Well, what do we do now?

You should sit down
and find an equitable solution

to the problem.

I'd like to help,
if you'll let me.

He's right,

for Brian's sake.

Hi.

Hi.

Heidi,
where have you been all day?

I just went into town,

did a little shopping
with my friend Milly.

You remember Milly?

Mm-hmm.

Then we just had a long talk,
you know?

About what?

Well, she's having problems
with her marriage, too.

And she says she's gonna
hang in there

because a marriage is worth
fighting for when it's right.

I realized she is right.

And what about us?

There is no us, Jack.

Last night was wonderful,

but it made me remember that
my marriage was really something

when it was right,

before it went bad.

We just got off the track,
I guess,

somewhere along the way.

But my husband is
a great guy.

I think the man I married
is still there,

and I think it's time that I try
a little harder to find him.

You know?

You tell your husband
for me...

That he's one lucky guy.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Great, Otis.

Tell the guys
I really appreciate the favor.

Yeah, you won't have to do
a long show.

They'll do it?
They'll sing?

Unless you'd rather
have 'em juggle.

Tony, you're wonderful.

Well, I do my best.

Uh...you really
came through for me.

Well, I-I always try
to keep my promises.

Uh, I-I just want you to know
how much I appreciate it.

Thank you.

[ Laughs ]

That's cute.

Uh... [ chuckles nervously ]

L-Listen, if you wanna
change clothes,

I can just wait outside.

No. Hey, quit kidding around,
Vicki.

Let's get on with it.

What are you talking about?

Our deal --

you get the temptations,

and I get you.

Now, wait a minute.

I-I didn't make any deal.

Oh, come on, Vicki.

Now when a girl says,

"let's pick up where
we left off last night,"

she's not talking
about a game of checkers.

Now, listen,
a lot of people knock checkers.

But I gotta tell you,
out of all the board games

that I've ever played --

yeah?

Well, I'm getting a little bored
with this game, Vicki.

Now, come on.

It's your basic
fair exchange.

I lived up to my half
of the bargain.

Now, it's your turn.

No!

Okay, then I can
go back on my word, too.

That is not fair!

You know how much
this concert means to me!

Yeah.

And I thought I meant something
to you, too.

I heard you bragging
to your friend,

how you had me
wrapped around your finger.

You heard that?

You shouldn't tell secrets
in crowded elevators.

You really didn't arrange
for that concert, did you?

I would have,

as a favor to a friend.

But we're not really friends,
are we?

I don't see

I already told you,
I wanna go away from them.

Brian, I think
you should listen

to what your parents
have to say.

Mrs. Gerard?

Well, sweetheart,

your father and I both made
big mistakes.

See, daddy got mad
because we moved to California,

so he tried to get back at me
by taking you away.

And you tried to get back at him
by calling the police.

Yes.

Brian, sometimes it's hard
to realize that,

when we're being angry
with each other,

the person that's being
hurt the most is you.

And your parents have figured
out a way to stop that, Brian.

How?

Well, first of all,

daddy and I both decided it'll
be best if you live with me.

You do?

Yes.

But since
I'm not gonna be able

to visit you every weekend
as I used to,

we've also agreed that you
spend your school holidays

and your summer vacations
with me.

Okay?

You'll be with both of them.

Do you still have to go
to jail?

No. Your mother dropped
the charges.

It's a great idea.

I'm having the best time

I am so sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

It's just that
I wanted so badly

to prove that I could do
what I said,

that nothing else mattered.

Maybe not to you.

I must be really stupid.

I thought we were having
a good time together,

that we actually
cared about each other.

We do.

I really like you, Tony.

Hi, guys.

Oh, how you doin'? Hi.

Hi! How was the shopping today?

Terrific,

but we didn't get much done.

Yeah, the cab driver turned out
to be a fan of ours.

So he, uh, took us home
to meet his mother.

Oh.

Which wasn't so bad,

until she started
singing our songs in Spanish.

Yeah.

"My love is true"

just doesn't have the same feel
as "mi amor es verdad."

at the concert tonight?

What concert?

The one that Vicki set up?

Nobody asked us to play.

Oh, dear.

So embarrassing.
