(orchestra plays soft jazz)

Thank you.

To the most magnificent
cruise line in the world... mine.

And to the only ad agency
that can do it justice... mine.

Always selling,
aren't you, Amanda?

Put your money where your
mouth is and find me Eve.

Oh, there she is.

TONY: Is this your idea

of a joke?

I had no idea Peter was coming.

If you want my account, you
better keep him out of the way.

Well, that'll be
easy. This is a cruise.

Peter will find
lots of things to do.

Not good enough.

Want you to keep an eye on him.

When I'm in the sack
with Eve, I don't want

to be looking over my shoulder
for her jealous husband.

You didn't think this was just

about holding hands,
did you, Amanda?

Um...

Welcome to my ship, Dr. Burns.

Oh, thank you.

Peter. What a surprise.

This'll be great. I'll have
someone to play with

while Eve is off
becoming a big star.

Yeah, yeah, that'll be great.

Well, here's to a
memorable cruise.

For all of us.

RYAN: Terry, calm down.

Okay, look, the reason that
I didn't put her on that plane

is because she didn't want
to go back to New York.

You don't let a child
make a decision like that.

I am her legal guardian.

Look, eight years
ago, I was a kid myself.

It made sense that the
courts awarded you custody.

But now I can take care of her.

Sarah wants to live with me.

I'll do whatever I have to.

And so will I.

Send her home now!

- (sighs)
- (dial tone, beep)

I need a hell of a lawyer.

Oh.

(car approaches, car door opens)

(seagull cawing)

(car door closes)

Hi.

Hey.

I thought you might be out here.

(Jane sighs)

Listen, I-I know I've
never stopped by before.

Um... this is nice.

Yeah.

(Jane sighs)

Listen, I thought...

maybe you might want to talk.

(Kyle sighs)

My marriage... is over.

Amanda and I are through.

I didn't want to
come between you.

- Who says you did?
- Amanda.

Every time

- she looks at me.
- KYLE: Yeah.

She thought there was
something going on between us.

Is there?

You tell me.

I can't.

Okay.

(car door opens)

(car closes, engine starts)

(Megan laughs)

It's fun being here.

Before Dad, I
just had vacations.

Yeah.

This is real family.

Oh.

Are you and my
dad getting married?

Well, I don't know.

Um... we were engaged,

but your dad
called it off, so...

Probably 'cause of his
promise he made me.

Ooh.

I told him it's okay if he
wants to get married now.

Daddy!

Uh.

No!

- Sarah.
- Whoa, whoa.

It's okay.

I want to stay with you, Daddy.

RYAN: Yeah.

(garbled radio transmission)

Wait. What's-what's happening?

Terry decided to play hardball.

Just tell her. Just
tell her I want to stay.

I did, but Aunt
Terry doesn't think

that's such a good idea, honey.

This is Nancy. You're gonna have

to go with her
for a little while

while I talk to a lawyer,

help work things
out, okay, honey?

Wait a minute. Where
are you taking her?

Sarah will go to a
special center for children.

And she'll stay there until her
plane takes her to New York.

Uh, can I go with
her? She's a little girl.

She's not gonna know anyone.

That's not allowed.

It's okay, Megan.

I'll be all right, Daddy.

(Ryan sighs)

(Michael and Lexi moaning)

Huh?

Let's go raid the fridge!

- Oh, yeah.
- (Lexi laughs)

- Yeah.
- Oh, come.

- I'm coming.
- Come on.

(both panting and groaning)

(sighs)

Oh. Ah.

God.

hours straight.

I don't think I've ever done
that with any guy before.

Yeah, well, you know,
I'm not just any guy.

- I'm like rolled into one, and the...
- Oh. Oh.

- Erotic permutations are endless, my dear.
- Mmm.

Mmm. Oh!

- Mmm, mmm.
- Oh.

Let's see what we got
in condiments, huh?

- Ha, ha!
- (laughs) Mustard.

- (knocking)
- A little mustard for that dog?

Oh, whoever it is, go away!

- It's Julie.
- (Lexi sighs)

And it's really important.

God. All right.

- I'll be right back.
- All right.

- Think dirty thoughts.
- Thinking.

Mmm. (laughs)

(clears throat)

Sorry, but you weren't
answering your phone,

and I have got amazing news

about Amanda
Woodward Advertising.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Uh, ooh. Um... Amanda
dropped half of her clients,

and she fired half her staff.

I'm not kidding. Even Jane.

(Lexi scoffs)

After Jane put a
roof over her head.

I swear, that woman
knows no shame.

Rumor is, Amanda's going
after Tony Marlin's account.

Tony Marlin.

Oh, my God, that guy
is rich and powerful.

He owns casinos
and cruise lines.

Oh, this is a huge account.

This could be a coup.

(Michael clears his throat)

All right, Julie, run along.

Oh, uh...

Yeah, mm-hmm.

Amanda is making deep cuts.

Honey, that usually means
that there's big money problems.

I think this is time
to go in for the k*ll.

Hey, you're not gonna
have time to do any k*lling,

'cause I got plans for you.

(Michael stammers)

Michael, honey,
think monopoly, baby.

Look, I already own
her apartment building.

Now it's time to
take over her agency.

It's time to dig my
heels in deep, Michael.

I got some big plans to do.

Good thing I do my
best thinking on my back.

(moaning)

(seagull cawing)

EVE: This is the
vacation of a lifetime.


I love it, and I
feel like I'm falling

in love with you all over again.

Cut!

Geez, she'll never
get the kiss right

with her husband
breathing down her neck!

Let's get him out of here.

Let's take a minute.

Check the lights, guys.

MAN: All right.

How was I? Does
it look all right?

It's a little tough
to judge the kiss.

You know, I'm on
a dry spell myself.

Oh, I'm sorry
about this morning.

No. It's been a great
honeymoon so far.

No sex, these hair and makeup
people flying around all over,

and some weirdo
sending you flowers.

Tony sent them. It's a
professional courtesy.

- Right. Tony.
- TONY: Dr. Burns.

I'm stealing this
beautiful woman from you.

Crew is waiting.

Come on. Eve doesn't
watch you in surgery.

Right.

MAN: Is that camera ready?

You... you're
rushing the moment.

Make her want you.

Like that.

RYAN: My lawyer said he'd come
by when he knew something, but


Sarah's been gone for hours.

I mean, where the hell is he?

It's my fault.

I told you at the airport
to keep Sarah here.

I feel terrible. Oh.

No. Let's not... let's not
worry about that now.

(knocking)

Hey, what's going on?
We've been waiting on you.

Ryan, there's been
a development.

Has Sarah ever mentioned
to you anything about

any physical abuse?

What the hell are
you talking about?

If anyone ever laid a
finger on my daughter...

She's claiming that
her Aunt Terry hits her,

and she's afraid to go back.

No. No, that's impossible.

Terry would never hurt Sarah.

But maybe Sarah
was afraid to tell you

'cause she thought
you wouldn't believe her.

Megan, you don't
know Terry, okay? I do.

- I'm just saying, it's possible.
- RYAN: No!

There's been a mistake, okay?

We need to get Terry out
here, get to the bottom of this,

get the whole thing resolved.

Okay, Terry and I'll
straighten this out.

(seagulls cawing)

AMANDA: Okay,

so you took the shuffleboard,
the skeet sh**ting.

Don't forget the ping-pong.
I b*at you at ping-pong, too.

The ping-pong prize
is, you have to at least

let me b*at you in badminton.

No. Come on, I'm done
with the games, okay?

It's been fun.

Yeah, it has been fun.

Well, don't sound so surprised.

Don't sound so sarcastic.

What can I say; you
bring out the best in me.

Oh, well,

if this is the best, it's
gonna be a long cruise.

So, you sunk your whole ad
agency into this commercial.

Why are you spending
all of your time with me?

I don't want to interfere
with the creative process.

You know how
testy actors can be.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I've heard that.

Well, I am on my honeymoon,

so I'm gonna go find my wife.

Don't give me that look.

What look?

I didn't give you a look.

- Yes, you did. N-o, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

I must be drunk.

You were fantastic today.

I was nervous.

I couldn't have
done it without you.

You're a natural.

Camera loves you.

All you need is more experience.

I'm an experienced guy.

PETER: Hey.

Oh, honey.

Oh, we were wondering
where you were.

Were you?

Get out of the pool.

Now.

Back off, Doctor.

Easy.

Come on, get out of the pool.

Hey, we were just unwinding.

Well, I'll be back in
our room, unwinding.

Peter!

Tony.

Peter! Peter!

Peter, Peter, slow
down; I'm dizzy.

Looks to me like you're more
in the feeling-no-pain category.

Oh, we were celebrating.

This was a big day for
me, and you ruined it.

Why? Because I got there before
you made it with Tony Marlin?

We were working
together, that's all.

How stupid do you
really think I am?

Well, h-he's in show business;
he's an important man.

He was just giving me pointers.

Pointers?

Oh, come on, Eve.

Please, he was trying
to get you into bed.

That's not true.

Are you really that naive?

Okay, maybe that
is what he wanted,

but that doesn't
mean that I would do it.

It looked like you were
halfway there in the pool.

Peter.

Peter? Peter?

What the hell is going on?

Oh, Amanda,

I'm so sorry.

Tony and I...

we were celebrating, and
Peter, he just took it all wrong.

Damn him.

He's messing up everything.

No, it's not Peter.

Tony's so fascinating.

(exhales)

Everything about him,
Vegas and the celebrities,

Oh, God,

I think I'm drunk.

Right, you're drunk.

You should get some sleep.

Not just that.

On the set,

Tony had the actor...

He was showing
him how to kiss me.

And I liked it.

Sleep it off.

I'll take care of everything.

Hey.

Lexi, baby, you making
me breakfast, honey?

Why? Do I look like
Martha Stewart to you?

Wow.

I d*ed and went to heaven.

- Come to Mikey boy.
- Hey,

Watch it.

It's not for you.

Honey, I'm going after
this really hot account.

The Duchess Cruise Lines.

And you're wearing
this hot little number

underneath your work clothes
for what? Added confidence?

Baby, these are my work clothes.

- Huh?
- Oh, please don't look so shocked.

It's not like he's
gonna see me naked.

(giggles) For at
least ten minutes.

So, you're gonna have sex

with a guy you never met
before on the chance you might

get his account? You know...

- You know what that's called?
- Yeah.

- It's, uh...
- Business.

And how am I supposed
to feel about that?

Uh, proud.

Oh, Mikey, honey.

With you,

I have no ulterior motives.

Sleeping with you... (moans)

is nothing but...

really hot...

sex.

(moaning)

- You know what?
- Hmm-mm.

That's very flattering.

Mmm... woo!

Got to go; don't
forget to lock up.

(groans)

You would enjoy
the cruise a lot more

if you could control your temper
and let your wife do her job.

Please, I spent the night last
night on a chair on the deck.

The only thing I'd be
receptive to right now

would be a couple of aspirin.

Uh, folks, if you haven't heard,

the, uh, the launch is
heading for a day excursion

on the island of Cencerro.

Lot to do there, lots to see.

Sign me up for that, will you?

- Okay.
- Would you excuse me, Amanda?

Thanks.

Where's Mike
Tyson rushing off to?

You're in luck; he's spending
the day on the island.

Good, I'll put you to work.

Oh, I look forward to
it, to being on the set.

I'll handle things on the set.

I want you on the
island with Peter.

Make sure he
misses the boat back.

Hi. Tony, how are you feeling?

Oh, much better
just looking at you.

(exhales) Amanda,
have you seen Peter?

Uh, he'll be on deck five.

I believe he's going
on a day excursion.

I have to talk to him.

Excuse me.

Eve?

Be sure Peter knows the
launch comes back at : ?

I wouldn't want him to miss it.

Thank you.

So, what time

- is the launch really coming back?
- : .

But Peter will be
much too busy with you

to ever stumble onto
that information, won't he?

Peter?

I'm sorry.

I was an idiot last night.

- Let's not fight.
- Well, that shouldn't be

a problem because I'm gonna
spend the day on some island.

It was all my fault.

I got drunk, I
said stupid things,

I did stupid things.

There's no excuse for any of it.

You have feelings for this guy?

No.

I got caught up in
the glamour, that's all,

the commercial.

It's you that I want to be with.

You know, we do this a lot.

We fight, we make up.

Relationships are new to me.

I'm sorry.

I just want things
to get better.

Hey, the launch
comes back at : .

Why don't we have
dinner in our cabin tonight,

just you and me?

I'll make up for all
the things I've done.

I don't know.

Please?

Okay.

(knocking)

Uh, I-I was looking
for Ryan McBride.

Yes, uh, you must be Terry.

Come on in.

Uh, Ryan went down
to Children's Services

to see where they're
keeping Sarah.

Uh, I'm Megan.

Hi.

Do you, uh, live here with him?

No, I live in an
apartment on the first floor.

Ryan wanted me to wait
here to let you in, um...

We're, uh, friends.

Ryan.

I swear to God

I never, ever hit Sarah.

I mean, how could I

hurt my sister's child?

I mean, you have to believe me.

Yeah, I never thought
it was true, Terry.

I'll, uh, get you

some water.

I gave up my whole life for her.

I did the best job that I could.

Yeah, what we
have to concentrate

on now is getting
Sarah back, okay?

It's okay; we're
gonna work together.

Hey, Jane?

I heard about your new job.

Yeah, yeah, I'm, uh,
managing the place.

Congratulations.

Guess it'll tide me
over until I figure out

what I'm gonna do with my life.

Um, do you mind getting
those new orders started?

I'll meet you in there. Thanks.

What happened the other night?

I mean, did you know?

Because I've thought about
it and I can't figure it out.

Yeah, I don't know
what I was thinking.

I mean, you just
broke up with Amanda.

- You were confused.
- It's not about Amanda.

(sighs)

Maybe we should
just try to be friends.

We're already friends.

So, I guess we're back
where we were the other night.

No, we're not.

I'm not gonna blow this.

If I wait, I could lose you.

Oh, admit it, you
had a good time.

- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.

I didn't.

Look at me, look at me.

You laughed, you were silly.

Some of your best sarcasm.

I wasn't being sarcastic.

This place is a dump;
the whole island's a dump.

You know, you give new meaning
to the words "ugly American."

You know, it's all
coming back to me now,

why we got divorced.

This constant ridicule,

the abuse.

I'm a very fragile
person, you know?

And your constant sarcasm.

Look, it's : .

So, what are we gonna do

for the next couple hours, huh?

Enough of the piña coladas.

Bartender?

Tequila.

- I don't know if that's such a good idea.
- Doubles.

- Okay.
- Mmmm.

Oh, hi, Tony.

Um, I was expecting Peter.

He and Amanda missed the launch.

They'll be staying on
the island overnight.

I-I'm sorry about your dinner.

Peter missed the launch?

We won't be able to
pick them up for two days.

I wonder if he did
that on purpose.

Maybe he's still mad.

Well, maybe he's getting even.

Stranding himself on an
island with a beautiful woman.

How far can you trust him?

Weren't they married once?

Yeah, but that was
a long time ago.

(chuckles) We're
all friends now.

I trust them completely.

No, you don't.

You don't trust them at all.

You don't even trust yourself.

I, um...

You're not ready, are you?

Don't worry,

we have plenty of time.

Hey, hey, hey, wait
up. Wait up, up, up.

You know, if you hadn't
ordered that extra tequila,

we wouldn't have
missed the launch.


We missed it by two hours

because Eve gave
me the wrong time.

I'm sure it was an
innocent mistake.

Oh, innocent, my butt.

Hi. I feel like I'm being
set up or something.

We've been set up.

Sorry.

MAN: Muchas gracias.

Dr. Burns, I regret that
we are experiencing

a labor strike at this time.

There are not flights
leaving the island

for a week.

A week?

I'm stuck on this
island for a week?

The only way you can leave
the island is by private plane,

private helicopter,

or private launch.

All right, well, get me
a ticket to something.

- I don't care, please.
- What I meant was

if you own the private
plane, helicopter, or launch,

you could leave
whenever you want.

Fruit?

Peter, good news.

I got a hold of the cruise ship,

and they're gonna
circle the islands

and pick us up tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night... well,
that's not good news.

Tomorrow night?

That is very good news.

Tonight, my daughter's
getting married.

I'm inviting you both.

Weddings are the best
parties on the island.

- Thank you, but we're...
- We'd love to come.

Good.

I have to admit,
I'm sort of in shock.

I mean, there I was,

I'm thrown for a loop.

Yeah, change isn't all bad, huh?

No, I guess you're right.

Sometimes it can be good.

Oh, yeah, no, the

Sorry, Dad.

Now, we're gonna

Are you crazy about me?

Yes, I am.

You are so easy to be with.

When I moved out, I realized

how much I missed
being here with you.

I missed you, too.

So, uh,

does that mean
we're friends or more?

That depends.

If friends can spend

Oh, she's not my woman.

right when the plane landed.

Signed for right here.

I-I can't read this.

Well, don't blame me.

Well, I will blame you.

That film was not to be
released to anyone but me.

Look, lady, I'm busy.

Does the lab usually
pick up the negative?

Yes, but...

Well, maybe there
were crossed signals.

That's usually what happens.

Check with them.
I'll put a trace on it.

There's nothing more I can do.

MAN (over P.A.): Dr. Richardson,
Physical Therapy, main floor.

Dr. Richardson, to
Physical Therapy, main floor.

Okay, crank up
that X-ray machine.

Enough to penetrate these
cans. I got to ruin this film.

You know, all we got
to do is open these.

No, I don't want to look
like I've tampered with it.

Why do you want
to ruin this film?

- Because it's Amanda's.
- Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

What is this? What
are you wearing.

It's lead to protect me
from radiation... and you.

Though, I don't know why
I'm doing you any favors.

Did you, uh, did you sleep
with that Tony Marlin guy?

No. He was out of town.

Oh, but you would've?

Forget it.

Mikey... are you so mad at me

that you want to just to
call the whole thing off?

Well, I don't believe I said
anything quite that definitive.

Hmm. Well, I,
uh, I think I'll stand

behind my Superman
for protection, hmm?

(both moan)

- Zap it. Zap it.
- (machine clicks, hums)

I'm zapping.

(both moaning)

Hey, you two look
pretty cozy over here.

Is there something
I should know?

- Well...
- I don't want to talk about it.

I don't want to
jinx a good thing.

Daddy, our sandcastle.

Oh, right.

How's it going?

- Oh, thanks.
- Sure.

So tell me about Ryan and Megan.

How long have
they been going out?

Oh, about a year
and a half, off and on.

Off and on?

Yeah, you know, just
the regular hurdles.

Why, are you wondering if Megan
will be a good mother to Sarah?

No.

Just wondering if
Ryan is really happy.

SARAH: Hi, Megan!

Oh, hi.

MEGAN: How are you? (chuckles)

- I'm good.
- Hey, how's it going?

Everything okay?

The film from the cruise
line commercial is lost.

It's somewhere in L.A., and
I'm trying to track it down.

Amanda's gonna go ballistic.

Ugh!

Sarah saved a seat
for us... Dinner's ready.

All right.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt?

No, no, it's all right.

Okay.

- Hey.
- Hi.

So do you like her?

(both chuckle)

Oh, you mean am I happy
she's staying the entire summer?

Well, I, uh, I
didn't get a vote.

I'll help Kyle with the burgers.

Oh, Mr. Marlin, the
photographs don't do you justice.

Who is she?

Mr. Marlin, I'm sorry,
but... I'm sorry. I...

I begged this gentleman for
just a moment of your time.

I'm Lexi Sterling.

I'm president of
Sterling-Conway advertising.

I've heard about you.

Mmm, good. Then
you're aware that I could

take care of all your needs.

I already have a deal on the
table with Amanda Woodward.

She just finished a
commercial for me on spec.

Yes, I'm sure that she's
doing a bang-up job.

And I'm sure the footage
will really burn up the screen.

But I just want you
to keep me in mind

for a backup position.

Look, I'm not really in the
mood for business right now.

Yes, well, um, my philosophy
is just to spend an hour or so

to warm you up to my
plan, and, uh, well, then,

spring on you a fabulous body...

of ideas.

And, uh, one that you'll
give you a plan that

you just can't resist.

You got my attention.

Good.

Oh, and listen,

when you're interested
in doing some business,

just give me a call.

(knocking)

- Hey.
- What do you want?

- What?
- Where's Peter?

Uh, he got a phone call on
the island from the hospital.

Some kind of emergency.

And he had to charter
a plane back to L.A.

Have you seen Tony?
He's not in his stateroom.

Oh, he's gone, too,

because I wouldn't give
him what you promised.

What are you talking about?

Tony told me the whole story.

He gets me in bed,
and you get his account.

Get out of my face.
You make me sick!

Eve, you have to
understand my position.

It's always about your position!
Did you ever stop to think

what this might do to me and
Peter?! Do you even care?!

- Of course, I care.
- I want you out of my life!

You don't care about anything

but yourself and what you want!

And if that means using me

and hurting Peter
in the process,

well, that's just too damn bad!

Now get out of here
before I rip your throat out!

You got it all wrong.

I said get out if you
don't want to get hurt!
