May I have
your attention, please.

We hope you have enjoyed
your day in acapulco.

We will be leaving in hour
and ask that all new passengers

please check
in at the purser's lobby.

Ace:
Uh, hold that pose.

Enjoy your cruise.

Hold that pose.

When he says hold that pose,
he means hold that pose.

I -- I'm sorry, it's just
that you look an awful lot

like Randy Jackson,
the professional golfer.

He is
Randy Jackson.

Really?

Well, you know,
I'm a big fan of yours.

I once followed you
around the U.S. open one year.

Well, you must not have had
that camera,

or I'd remember you.

[ Laughs ]

This is
Christine Bradley.

Oh, hi,
uh, ace Evans.

Well, you look great.

That was a tough break,

you having to go into
the hospital.

Oh not really.

If it hadn't been
for the surgery,

I'd never
have met Christine.

I think he just
wanted a new caddy.

-Yeah...
-Come on.

-Bye-bye.
=hey, bye.

-Enjoy your cruise.
-Thanks a lot.

-Golfer, huh?
-Yeah.

What was wrong with him?
Shoulder, wrist?

Heart transplant.

-Heart transplant?
-Yeah.

Vicki...

I thought you were gonna
be back early to help me.

I was.

But Judy, I found this terrific
little shop in acapulco.

Nobody spoke
a word of English,

but I think
I got some terrific deals.

So I see.
Well, hurry and change, okay?

Okay.

What's this?

Vicki, I thought
you were staying on board

to study
for your college entrance exam.

Well, dad, I was going to.

But then, I found out

that there was
this terrific little shop...

Vicki,
it is very important

that you get into
Richmond college.

There are very few schools
that allow students

to pursue their studies
on board a ship.

-I know.
-Well, if you know,

perhaps you better
start hitting the books

instead of
the bargain tables.

I'm on my way.

-Vicki!
-What?

You can't sleep in your cabin
this cruise.

Why?

Well,
see if this rings true.

An attractive young girl,
not unlike you,

rushes out to this fantastic
sale in acapulco.

She forgets
to check her sink.

So while she's shopping,
oh, no!

The drip, drip, drip
of her partially open faucet

turns into a raging river,
which --

-my clothes!
-Your clothes are alive.

You're clothes are fine,
all right?

We could not, however,
save the carpet.

And the smell of wet wool
in your room

was enough to make
a strong man weep.

I get the picture.

We had to tear it all out.

I'm sorry.

Have a nice day.

He was waiting
for a heart donor,

just like you.

He was very hopeful.

He always had such a --
a positive attitude.

He just knew
a donor would turn up

and he'd make it.

He even promised me
that he'd live.

And then
a donor was located

and my father
was passed over.

They chose you to live.

My father d*ed.

I'm sorry
about your father.

I...

I hated the hospital
for choosing you.

[ Sighs ]

They don't make these decisions
on a whim.

Committees of doctors
decide.

Donors are matched up
by blood type,

body weight, age,
a lot of things.

They told me all that.
I didn't care.

All I cared about was
that my father was dying,

and some hot-sh*t golf pro
was gonna live in his place.

I hated them,
and I hated you.

Revenge isn't as sweet
as I thought it would be.

That's too bad

because your plan
worked beautifully.

I really
fell in love with you.

My plan
didn't work at all.

I fell in love
with you, too.

I know you can never
forgive me for what I did.

I'm not sure
I can forgive myself.

Oh,
I can't believe this.

Well, believe it.

Everything is just the way
you like it.

Perfect.

Your beds are made
perfectly.

The shoes are arranged
perfectly.

And just to make your life
a little more perfect,

i'm leaving.

Sit.

Now look, Vicki.

The problem here isn't
that I am a neat freak

and you are less neat.

Well, that seems like
the problem to me.

Vicki, you straightened up

the mess you made in my cabin
easily enough

but now we have to straighten
out things between us.

I cleaned your room.
What more do you want?

What I want --

what I want...

Is to know why you are going
out of your way

to flunk this exam.

Oh, you know, it always
goes back to that, doesn't it?

Well,
let me tell you something.

Even if I studied
from now until Christmas,

there is still no way
that I could pass.

And that's why you haven't
tried to study at all?

I have tried.

But every single time I do,

all I can see is myself
opening a letter that says,

"we're sorry Ms. Stubing,

but you're just
not college material."

Oh..

It's scary having all
that pressure on you, isn't it?

I just...

[ Sighs ]

I just don't wanna
let my father down.

Oh, honey. Honey.

You could've saved us
a lot of pain

if you'd just told me
how you felt before this.

I don't know...I --
I didn't think you'd understand.

I mean, everything
is always so easy for you.

I said school was fun.
I didn't say it was easy.

Do you still
wanna help me?

Of course I do.

Only this time,
I wanna do it right.

Now, are you ready
to work hard?

What are
we waiting for?

Okey-dokey.

Uh, you can do that
later.

This has been
a wonderful time for me.

Me, too.

I hate to see it end.

Does it have to?

I mean,
couldn't we see each other

after the cruise, I mean.

No, I'm afraid
that's not possible, Gina.

I mean, it's not
that I don't want to.

It's just that I, uh...

[ Sighs ]

You see, I'm not exactly
what I appear to be.

I don't understand.

I see hope shining
in people's eyes.

I wanna make that hope
a reality.

So I tell them I can.

But you can't?

Well, not exactly.

But it's not my fault.

It's my brother, Edgar.

He won't let me spend
any of the family money.

He says if it was up to me
I'd give it all away.

Well, would you?

Sure.

What good does it do

sitting around in banks
and stocks and bonds.

I mean,
my way's a lot more fun.

But what happens
when people find out

you can't keep
your promises?

Well,
I'm not usually around.

Look, I don't mean
to harm anybody.

I just see people hurting
and I wanna make them happy.

My father always said
I lived in a dream world.

That's why he left the control
of all the money to Edgar.

It makes me angry.

I want to make people happy.
I don't see why I can't.

Don't you see, cabot?

Promising me my own school
wasn't what made me happy.

It was you --

being with you.

Money didn't matter.

I'm sorry for you
that you can't see that.

Hi.

Ace gave me a bottle
of champagne,

and I told him I couldn't
drink it all by myself.

I'm a former heart patient,
you know?

Yeah, I know.

Know anybody
I can share it with?

How 'bout
a former self-pitying jerk?

You, uh, know
where I can find one.

How about the one
you're holding in your arms?

Mm, I don't know.

I'm pretty picky about
the jerks I hang around with.

Are we gonna keep up
this patter all night

or are you gonna kiss me?

♪♪

Captain, I --
I want to apologize to you

if I've caused you
any trouble.

Oh, no.
No apologies necessary.

I -- I didn't get a chance
to say goodbye to Gina.

But I have a feeling

we'll be seeing each other
again very soon.

I'm glad to hear that.

Captain, would you
do me a favor?

Would you give these
to Isaac and gopher?

It's an explanation

for why I can't buy them
that hotel.

I'm sure they're going
to be terribly disappointed.

My pleasure.

Well, goodbye.

Goodbye.

There's Edgar,
my tight-wad brother.

He looks very nice.

Sure, but just get him
to try to part

with a lousy
couple of million.

The man steals magazines
from his barber.

Uh, Edgar, over here.

Well, cabot,
you've done it again.

Well, you know me, kid.
I keep trying.

Oh, this is my friend,
captain stubing.

-Hi.
-Hi, captain.

You should be proud of me.

This time
I only spent grand.

A new record.

You know, he's made some
outrageous promises in his day,

but last night
after he called me,

I did some checking.

Miss Caldwell has
a quite a reputation

in the field
of special education.

You see, I told you.

Well, this time
I'm going to help cabot

follow through
on his promise.

The Fairfield foundation
is going to finance her school.

Would you please give this
to miss Caldwell,

courtesy
of cabot Fairfield.

Well, well.
Feels good, doesn't it.

I'm sure Gina
will be very grateful.

Well, thank you again,
captain.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

-Good news, Edgar.
-Mm.

I've got a suitcase full
of those little soaps you like.

♪♪

Have you seen cabot?

Oh, I'm afraid
he's already gone.

But, uh, he wanted me
to give you this.

That's her check.

I don't believe it.

He really did it.

I guess some of us
underestimated him.

Yes.

I owe him an apology.

Goodbye, captain.

Goodbye, miss Caldwell.

-Bye-bye.
-So long.

Well, I guess you saw that.
Cabot bought her a school.

Hotels, schools,

who says
there isn't a Santa claus.

So you two are still going
through with the hotel?

Oh, it's not that
we're dissatisfied, merrill,

but we really enjoyed
working for you here.

But there comes a time

when a man's
just gotta move on.

Right on, move on.

Yeah, you've gotta
go for that brass ring.

You've gotta go for that pot
at the end of the rainbow.

-Uh, where's cabot?
-I'm afraid he's long gone.

But he left a little something
to put in your pot.

Isaac: Mm.
