Post by bunniefuu »

[Theme - dionne Warwick, "love
boat theme"]

Love, love exciting and new.

Come aboard, we're
expecting you.

And love, love is
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, love
won't hurt anymore.

It's an open smile
on a friendly shore.

The love boat soon will
be making another run.

Welcome aboard.

It's love!

Welcome aboard.

It's love!

Nice-- the Italian
riviera of France.

I think it wold be better
if you'd be yourself.

Ok.

Nice-- a real fun place to
have fun and meet fun guys.

Ok, don't be yourself.

Try and be me.

Ok.

Nice-- city of cute
shops, cute clothes--

ah, and cute men!

If you're not going
to concentrate,

I am not going to
help you anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'll do better.

The sand, the
sun, the surf, all

blending together in a
kaleidoscopic vacation

paradise.

I think I'm getting
the hang of it!

Scott, I'm sorry I've
been acting so childishly.

You know what I
love about you, Kelly?

Your kindness,
your understanding.

I don't want
you to race again.

Your perception.

I've got to ride
in the cote d'azur.

Oh Scott, please.

It would only be one
more race, I promise.

It's always one more
race, one more season.

You told me we would go back
home and build a life together.

We will.

Not if you start
racing again, we won't!

Kelly, it's for charly.

The job he was offered
depends on this race.

Is that what he told you?

Oh come on, Scott.

He just wants you
to keep racing.

He doesn't really
care about you.

That's not true.

Charly's been like
a father to me.

It's only one more race.

I don't want you to do it.

I've got to.

Why didn't you tell me?

Jack, I couldn't tell you.

I-- I couldn't.

What's going on, justina?

Nothing could make
you sell the villa.

Family debts are
my responsibility.

I'm the last of the downeys.

I'm sorry, justina.

The last vestiges of
the downey fortune

going on the auction block.

What business is
it of yours, Lukas?

Well, you're the last person
I expected to find here.

You two know each other?

Oh, we've sat across a
gaming table from time to time.

Tell me Viktor, do
you still cheat?

I guess a fool with
money is still a fool.

Listen Lukas this is--

Jack.

If it's of any
interest to you, powers,

I intend to buy the downey
villa and tear it down.

I think it's a superb
site for a condominium.

Don't you, justina?

Of course, your father
would hate the idea.

But he's not with us, is he?

Have a good day.

You're right, Millard, wealth
is a tremendous responsibility.

A lot of poor people just
don't understand that.

Well, we've been
shopping, seen

all the sights, dined in
small, dimly lit cafes,

spent time on the beach.

There's only one
thing I can think

of that we haven't done yet.

Oh really?

And just what might that be?

Well, we, uh, we
haven't got wet yet!

Brenda Adams-Rosenberg:
It's that boat person!

[Cheering]

Ah.

You know, you
can win this thing.

Yeah, piece of cake.

How come Kelly didn't
come out with us?

Let's just concentrate
on the race, huh, coach?

Well, that's
enough for the day.

Let's load up the bike.

No, I'll tell you what.

I'm going to ride this
bike into town, ok?

Charly fields: Don't overdo it!

Here they come.

Look like a racer!

The things I do to
help you get a date.

Bonjour.

Gina!

Gina.

Portofino.

Rabbit!

Gopher.

Scusi.

Ah, Gina, this is my racing
partner, Isaac Washington.

Hello.

Hello.

Isaac, this is my friend Sophia.

- Piacere.
- Hello.

Piacere.

Are you racers?

- Well--
- yeah, sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We've, uh, we've been
in a tour of France,

tour of Spain, tour a--

tour a-- tour a--

that's a Japanese race.

We don't want to
interrupt your training.

Oh, hey, we've been
training for hours.

Time now for some fun and food.

Andiamo!

Oh, yeah, good.

Captain (on loudspeaker):
Sightseeing tours to ile

des rimains are now leaving.

[Speaking French]

Departure to ile
des rimains will

take approximately minutes.

You will have two hours of
sightseeing before we return.

My father used to take
me to the island on picnics

when I was a little girl.

It was always such a treat.

Let me help, justina.

I have money.

Nope.

What will you do?

Well, I have a small
apartment in Paris.

There will be money
left after the auction.

Not much of a life
for justina downey.

The downeys have had
generations of good fortune.

Nothing lasts forever.

It's strange.

My not having money is
what forced us apart.

Now I have it.

Isn't there anything I can do?

You're doing all right.

This has been a wonderful day.

Yeah.

Have you ever
heard of the legend

of the chateau of la lapore?

The legend?

Mm-hmm.

They say that when the sun
is in exactly this position,

the shadow of the chateau falls
on this lovely little land down

the beach.

Lovers have to make a difficult
decision whether they want

to go back the way
they came or stay

and spend the night in the inn.

How far back does
this legend go?

About five
minutes, but legends

have to start somewhere.

[Laughter]

Justina downey: I
never thought today

would've been one of the
loveliest days of my life.

But I'm a fun guy--

charming, clever, sensitive.

If not humble.

I figure charming and
clever make up for that.

So where do you want to go next?

Surprise me.

I will.

Surprises are my specialty.

Jack powers: Here we are--

Saint Paul De vence.

Justina downey: You remembered.

Hasn't changed, has it?

Of course it has.

It's just that some things
change slower than others.

Hi, Kelly.

Hello, coach.

Where's Scott?

Do you know how often I hear
those words-- where's Scott?

I don't know where Scott is.

We haven't been seeing
much of each other lately.

I never meant to come
between you like this.

I'd hate to think what
you could do to our marriage

if you worked at it.

It's just that I was
counting on this job

with the bicycle company.

Save your story.

You got what you wanted.

Scott's going to win your
race, and I'm sure after

that he'll be yours for life.

I hope you're both
very happy together.

Kelly, I wouldn't do
anything to hurt you two.

That boy's like a son to me.

All I've ever wanted
is for him to be happy.

If I'd known this was
going to come between you,

I never would have asked him.

You and me, we've got
him between a rock

and a hard place.

He doesn't want to let
either one of us down.

Well I guess he's made
his choice, hasn't he?

Jack, look-- the inn where we
planned to spend our honeymoon.

It is?

Bonjour madame,
bonjour monsieur.

[Speaking French]

We'd like two rooms.

[Speaking French]

One.

Well, I'm just learning
to live more economically.

[Speaking French]

Those poor kids.

What's going to happen to them?

I've got to do
something to help.

Hey, quit punishing
yourself, huh?

You told the guy to
go to the hospital.

He didn't listen.

You're not response.

Yeah, but I feel responsible.

Adam, there's
nothing you can do.

Yes, I can.

I've got some money saved.

And I'll get as much
as I can of them.

That's up to you.

It's the least I can do.

Listen, I'm going
to tell Marcel's wife.

This is going to make
her really happy.

Are you sure you want
to go through with this?

Yeah.

Helping Marcel's family is
more important than buying

a condo in Mexico.

I think I can raise
about $ , .

You're a sweet lovely man.

I'm proud of you.

Good morning, darling.

Oh, good morning.

You were asleep when I left.

Oh, they're lovely!

And you'll have more just like
these for your bridal bouquet.

My bridal bouquet?

I proposed to you
while you were asleep,

and you said yes, I think.

Did I?

Did I say anything else
while I was asleep?

You said I love you.

And what did you say?

I said I love you too.

Well I hate missing
the love scenes.

Maybe you should start over.

I love you, justina.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

I do enjoy these conversations
better when you're awake.

You double crosser!

What are you talking about?

Oh, don't play
innocent with me.

I saw you laughing
and giggling

on the beach with that
blond boat person,

and I assume that last night--

now you just hold on a minute.

No, you hold on a minute.

I have not finished
overreacting.

I'm out there spending
my days and nights

with men who have the
personality of a gauze bandage

just so you and I can raise
ourselves up in the world.

And all you care about is
your own personal happiness!

Brenda, I'm falling
in love with him,

and I think he's
falling in love with me.

Look, I'm not going
to give that up.

If you want a rich
man, fine, get one.

But I'm happy with
exactly what I have.

You and I made a commitment
to help each other out,

and you are going to honor it.

Remember, I paid for this trip.

Brenda, please--

Brenda Adams-Rosenberg: Miller
has requested that you and I

accompany him to
some charity thing

they're having on the ship
tomorrow, and you're going.

I can't.

I have a date with ace.

Ok, ok, fine!

Have you date with ace--

a little later.

Please, please, Edie.

I really need you there.

Millard said he wants
to meet my family.

Meet my family!

Do you have any idea
what that means?

Marriage?

Better than marriage!

Community property!

Please, just do this
one last thing for me

and I promise I won't
give you any more trouble.

- Ok.
- Great!

Thanks!

Oh, now let me fill you in
on our family background.

We were born in
Switzerland, where

our mother was buying diamonds.

Diamonds!

Our father was the
inventor of chocolate.

I don't understand.

It works in the camera
sh*t but doesn't work here.

Well, maybe it's
not the camera.

Maybe it's the TV.

Did you check the TV?

Yes, Vicki, I checked the TV.

But I didn't check that.

Yeah, well you owe me
$ for a service call.

What are you doing?

I don't want to
watch this alone.

That's no fun.

Come on, honey.

Come on.

That's the negresco.

Remember the fun we had there?

That's the floor
of the negresco.

[Speaking French]

Please, let's go.

I don't want to watch
the villa being sold.

Bear with me, darling.

[Speaking French]

Jack, what are you doing?

That's $ million!

I told you, I've done
well in the stock market.

You might say I have a
flair for picking winners.

[Speaking French]

I can exist without
the villa, Jack.

We'll need a place to live.

Besides, you know how I
like a high stakes game.

million francs.

[Gasp]

[Speaking French]

million francs.

[Gasp]

[Speaking French]

I'm sorry, justina.

He knows I can't afford that.

He must want to
hurt you very badly.

He hated my father.

I almost thought he felt
cheated when my father

d*ed before we could ruin him.

But he can't hurt me now.

[Speaking French]

No offense, dad, but
this is really boring.

Yeah, I wish I could
disagree with you.

Boy, you get going and don't
realize how much of this stuff

you've taken.

Well, I will
look at it with you

later when you get it cut down
to the five minute version.

You're going to
miss the good stuff.

I'll catch it
next time around.

[Speaking French]

It's Marcel.

He's alive!

Hi.

Uh, I don't know
if you remember me.

Sure, you're
Brenda, Edie's sister.

Yeah.

Is she all right?

She was supposed to meet
me here an hour ago.

Oh, she's fine.

Listen, I don't
have a lot of time,

so let me get
right to the point.

Edie and I are not
who you think we are.

In fact, we're complete liars.

We made up a lot of phony
stuff about our backgrounds

so we could find rich
men and marry them.

Anyway, the point
is, we're not rich.

So Edie has decided she wants
nothing more to do with you.

You two are over,
finished, ancient history.

Now if you'll excuse me, I
have to get back to the ship.

I have a party to go to.

Bye.

Announcer (on loudspeaker):
Welcome to the tour De

la cote d'azur.

On hand today, we have the
best racers in the world,

representing countries.

Last year's champion,
Carl Mueller,

will be defending his crown.

Challenging will
be Pierre lemond,

previous gold
medalist at the world

championships in Budapest.

Also we have as a late entry,
last year's winner of the tour

De France, Scott Barret.

I'm going to win this
race for you, coach.

It's not worth what it's
doing to you and Kelly.

I'll be fine.

I'm a grown man.

I can find a job.

I could even go on coaching.

Carl Mueller: Barrett.

So you did show up.

Did they raise the prize
money for second place?

Mueller, you must save a lot
of money living under a rock.

Why don't we set
the race right here?

Boys, come on, come on.

We'll settle it at
the finish, if I don't

get bored waiting for you.

Jerk.

He's just trying
to psych me out.

You'll never win
this frame of mind.

I'll win it, coach.

You won't win.

Not with all you've
got on your mind.

Mueller's going to blow
you away in those hills.

Ok, I did it.

It cost me $ , but I
got us into the race.

$ ?

Listen, why don't you
buy Gina a nice present

and tell her the truth?

Because this is better.

This way, she'll have to
comfort me after the race.

Hey.

Hey.

Bellissima!

Ok, turn around.

What?

Oh.

Announcer (on loudspeaker):
Racers, please

move to the starting line.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the racers will

be following the same course
as last year's race, which

will take them out of the
city and through the mountains

before reentering
the city once again.

The race will finish
here at the Plaza

in approximately three hours.

[Speaking French]

Gopher, I'm not doing this.

Now what's the problem?

I just found out that this
race is kilometers long.

So?

Kilometer's less than a mile.

Can't be that far.

So that works out to
miles over those mountains.

So what's the problem?

Half of it's got to be downhill.

Ok, you go ahead and k*ll
yourself over some stupid lie,

but Isaac Washington
is getting out of here.

Oh, I get it.

You're afraid you can't make it.

Well that's cool,
I understand that.

And you think you can?

Well, let's face it.

I am in better shape than you.

We both know that.

What are you talking about?

[g*nsh*t]

[Cheers and applause]

So you're in better
shape than me, huh?

The racers are now passing rue
De brulee, with Pierre lemond,

in the lead, followed by
Mueller, Spencer, and Barrett.

[Speaking French]

Oh my, yes.

Saving endangered species
such as the wallaby

is of great concern to us.

We try to sponsor as many
of these events as possible.

So do we!

Oh, really?

Uh, which other animals have
you supported this year?

Gosh, there have
been so many of them.

I mean, who could possibly
remember all their names.

The tasmanian
freshwater limpet.

Oh yeah, we back
him all the way.

And the Hawaiian
dark-rumped petrel,

and don't forget the delmarva
peninsula fox squirrel.

Yes, I've heard the
squirrels are in deep trouble.

Announcer (on
loudspeaker): The racers

are passing the
kilometer point

and will soon be
entering the mountains.

We have just received word that
lemond has taken a bad spill

and is out of the race.

Now with a slight lead
is Mueller, followed

by Barrett and Spencer.

They have passed the
third aid station,

and they're getting to the
steepest part of the course.

Mueller's pulling
away from Barrett.

Mueller's trying
to break away.

Here they come!

Let's go, son!

Come on, Scotty,
keep your Cadence up!

Stay on him!

How long do I
have to stay here?

All right, just give
me another hour or so,

and then I'll say you have
to go meet the queen of--

something.

Oh, ok.

Fine.

Brenda?

Mm-hmm?

Where's your ring?

I knew it.
I knew it.

It was too big on me.

I should've put some tape on it.

Consuelo's going to
charge me another $

if I don't find that thing.

Ok, all right, well I know I
had it at the chopped liver.

It must've fallen
into the mousse!

Do you mind?

Allow me.

Ok, go.

The ship's sailing tomorrow.

Why don't we stay on it and
let the captain marry us?

Anything.

I don't care.

I just want to be with you.

Taxi!

I still have some
things left to do,

so I'll meet you back
on the ship at nine.

Are you sure you'll be there?

You ran out on me once before.

There's no way I'm going
to leave you again ever.

[Speaking French]

Merci.

Ca va.

All right, here's
the address where

Marcel's family can contact
me, and here's the check.

Ooh, this will be a big help.

Adam!

Don.

May I join you?

Well sure--

sorry, captain stubing.

I was just leaving.

Please, not yet.

May I see that?

A check?

It's a lot of money.

Hey, man.

What are you doing?

That was supposed to
be for Marcel's family.

They won't need it.

I've got some good
news for them.

Marcel.

He looks rather well for
a man in his condition,

wouldn't you say?

On the other hand, Don,
you look a little pale.

Yeah, well, hey, doc.

Look, no hard
feelings, all right?

See you.

Merrill, I don't understand.

How did you find out?

Marcel turned up on one
of my videotapes two days

after he was supposed
to have d*ed.

Ah, captain, i'd
like to buy you lunch

and a lifetime supply
of videocassettes,

as long as I never
have to watch them.

Could I talk to you
for a moment, please?

Uh, would you
excuse me, Millard?

Brenda, I'm leaving.

I've had enough of this party.

You can't go yet.

Millard's barely gotten
the chance to talk to you.

Besides, he invited both of us
to join him for dinner tonight.

Well, I can't.

I have a date with ace.

Relax, will you?

I already took care of that.

You what?

I already dumped him for you.

That way, you don't have
to go through the pain

of dumping him yourself.

I don't believe this.

Well, I've got to go find him.

And when I do, you
are going to have

to explain everything to him.

You can't go yet!

Leave me alone.

How's Scott doing?

Kelly.

Was that Mueller?

Yeah.

If Scott loses more than
a minute in these hills,

he'll never catch
up on the flats.

[Cheering and applause]

Kelly Barrett: Come on, Scott.

You can do it!

Come on, Scott.

Win!

I love you!

He's behind a minute five.

There's no way he
can make that up.

[Speaking French]

Mr. Lucas wins
with a natural eight.

Perhaps we can play
again sometime, monsieur.

Is that chair open?

Oui, monsieur.

Wow.

Mr. Powers, apparently
you're not satisfied with the,

uh, b*ating you
received at the auction.

This is a different
game, Lukas.

One million francs, please.

Oh!

Are you going to tell me
what's going on or what?

Just hold your horses.

Ace, my sister has
something to say to you.

So what else is new?

Brenda?

This was all my fault. I lied.

I was the one who was
looking for a rich man.

I was the one who
wanted you dumped.

She couldn't care
less about the fact

that you hang out on
ships for a living.

She loves you.

She thinks you're
wonderful, fantastic,

and a million other
adjectives of that ilk.

Oh, and she wouldn't trade
you for any other man

on the face of this earth.

Can I go now?

Yes, you did good for
the first time on his trip.

Well, is all of
that really true?

Yes, it's all true.

Especially the part
about the adjectives.

Oh yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Announcer (on
loudspeaker): The leaders

are now leaving the hills
and re-entering the city.

Mueller is still ahead,
followed closely by Barrett.

Ladies and gentlemen,
here they come.

[Cheers and applause]

It's Mueller, with
Barrett close behind.

[Speaking French]

Come on!

You can do it!

Announcer (on loudspeaker):
It's Mueller and Barrett--

Kelly Barrett:
Scotty, I love you!

You're almost there, come on!

Announcer (on loudspeaker):
Barrett is closing in.

It's going to be close!

And at the finish, it's Barrett!

There is the defending
champion Carl Mueller!

[Speaking French] Carl Mueller,
four time winner of the tour De

cote d'azur has been beaten
by Scott Barrett, who's placed

second three times before.

[Speaking French]

Beautiful race!

Thanks, coach.

Well done, Barrett.

It was a great race.

Promise you'll retire now.

You've got it.

Auf wiedersehen.

Did you really mean that?

I always did.

Hello.

Hi.

Uh, listen.

I just came to tell you i'm
flying back to New York.

I need a vacation.

What happened to this one?

Millard asked me to marry him.

Well that's great!

That's what you wanted.

No, money is what I wanted.

Millard also asked me to
sign a prenuptial agreement.

It essentially says
that I get nothing

and he gets a day free
home trial on my body.

Tell him to forget it!

In his good ear.

Well, it's too bad you have
to go back so soon, Brenda.

I had a little surprise
planned for you and Edie.

I thought we could all fly
up to my dad's hunting lodge

in Scotland.

Said I could use the
jet this weekend.

Your family owns a
hunting lodge and a jet?

Well actually,
it's a castle, but it

has all the comforts of home.

A castle and a jet?

I swear, Brenda, I didn't
know a thing about this.

So how come you never told me?

Well, there's a lot of
gold diggers out there.

Getting tired, Isaac?

I'm doing just
fine, buddy boy.

You're not really
racers, are you?

Adamo, Sophia.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We-- we took a wrong turn
and we had a flat tire.

We had lots of flat tires!

Well I'll bet you're not
even Italian, are you?

What are you doing?

If I get my hands on
you, I'm going to k*ll you!

Your luck seems to be
running out, Mr. Powers.

Or is it that you're
facing a superior player?

It must be luck, Viktor.

I've played against
more skillful amateurs

for matchsticks.

Two million
francs on the bank.

Let's raise the stakes--

one time only, for
a personal wager.

Such as?

Everything I have.

Everything I own.

$ million us against the villa.

Why should I do that?

You know I've paid $ .
million for the villa.

Gambling is no challenge
unless you're willing to risk

what you can't afford to lose.

The amount is relative.

I am not interested in
amusing you, Mr. Powers.

I have better things to do.

Oh, forgive me, Viktor.

I had assumed you
were a gambler.

Courage is rare these days.

Deal.

Captain (on loudspeaker):
Ladies and gentlemen, we

will be sailing in minutes.

Good evening.

Oh captain, have
you seen Mr. Powers?

Isn't he back yet?

What do you mean?

Well, I saw him earlier.

He said he was
going to a casino.

Thank you.

Nicole.

Adam.

Oh Adam, I am so sorry.

I never thought
I'd see you again.

I couldn't go
without seeing you.

Aren't you're
taking a big risk?

A risk?

Yeah, that I'd turn you in.

You don't think I had
any part of this, do you?

I don't know what to think.

When you didn't come
back to the ship, i--

well, I had to make
arrangements, get a lawyer.

He's my brother.

Don has always been in
trouble, but I never thought

he'd do anything like this.

Then you didn't know anything
about what he was doing?

No, but I had to stay
and see him through it.

I understand.

Will you be able to
rejoin the cruise?

No.

I have to leave the ship
first thing in the morning.

But, well, I do hope you'll
come back to Europe someday.

All I need is a
friendly travel agent.

[Knocking on door]

Jack, how could you do this?

I had some
unfinished business.

You were gambling?

Yes.

Well, I thought all
that was over with.

It is now.

What's that?

That's a note deeding
the villa back to you.

Viktor Lucas insisted we
have it as a wedding present.

Oh, boy.

By the way, what did Nicole
think of the travel brochure?

Oh, thought it was terrific.

- She did?
- Yeah!

In fact, she wants me to
help her on another one,

so I said yes.

Exactly where is upper Malta?

Probably above lower Malta.

Hi, guys!

Oh, hi Vicki, Judy.

Well, now that
you're all here, I

want to take a picture
of all of you together.

I'll use my tripod for the first
time and get the picture too.

Now just form a group here
right in front of the airport,

please.

I'll be with you in a second.

Big smiles, please!

Big smiles.

Good, good, good.

A lot of activity,
a lot of movement.

I want everybody to
be doing something.

All right!

Here we go!
