Right through

Hi.
I'm Helen Williams.

I'm in
on the promenade deck.

Could one of you
please direct me to my cabin?

Yes, Mrs. Williams.
That's just up the elevator

and aft of the ship.

-Oh, thank you very much.
-Hello, Helen. Remember me?

No. I don't believe I do.

Well, Walter love.

May I direct you
to your cabin?

We met at a novelty convention
about five years ago.

Ever since, I've been
sending you my novelties,

and your assistant
has been sending them back.

Oh. Well, Mr....

Love. Walter love.

This happens to be
my vacation.

And if you don't mind,
it's starting right now.

Well,
struck out again.

Ah, too bad.

That woman owns one
of the largest

mail order businesses
in the country.

Boy, would I like to get
my novelties into her catalog.

Well, don't give up.

This is a long cruise.

Anything can happen.
-Yeah.

Let us know
if you need a hand.

I hope your date for this cruise
is as pretty as mine.

Merrill: Oh, she is
very attractive.

We'll see
whose date she is.

I have a feeling
I've seen her somewhere before.

Well, if that's the line
you plan to use, forget it.

That went out
with high-button shoes.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, hi.

-I'm Jaime Sloane.
-Hello.

I'm captain merrill stubing.

And this is Dr. Adam bricker.
-Hi.

In case you're interested, i'm
an old-fashioned ship's doctor.

I make cabin calls.

[ Laughs ]

I'll keep that in mind.

Wait a minute.
I know who you are.

You're the, uh,
you're the jungle mystery girl.

That's it.
That television commercial,

the one with the girl
draped over the lion.

Jungle mystery,
the only thing you need to wear

when your man is
king of the beasts.

[ Both laugh ]

If there's anything I can do

to make your cruise more
comfortable

or hopefully
more memorable...

Thank you.

As a matter of fact,
there is.

Would you give this...
To the kitchen staff?

It's a list of
my dietary restrictions.

-A problem?
-Oh, no.

Just watching
my weight.

My theory on food is,

if you can't see it,
you can't eat it.

Yes.
And while you're doing that,

I'll show miss Sloane
to her cabin.

But remember,
if I'm not here,

I'll be there.

-Good evening.
-Good evening.

I hope I didn't come
at a bad time.

Oh, no. No.

Uh, you came at a great time,
Julie.

You just saved my lipstick

from being smeared
all over my face.

[ Laughs ]

He was making me late.

Well, I must hurry
and get ready.

Yes, the place
is gonna be packed.

Oh, good.

Here. Let me help you.

Now, what dress
would you like to wear, Rose?

Julie, don't.

So Barry's just a friend.

Julie ---

oh, I get it.

Barry brought
so many clothes

he just didn't have enough room
in his own closet.

It's still hard to understand,
Adam.

One minute,
Jaime was fine.

And the next,
she blew up at me.

Well, sudden outbursts
and extreme mood swings

are typical of anorexia.

Well, isn't there anything
we can do for her?

I'm afraid not.

As long as she keeps
denying the anorexia,

there's nothing
anyone can do.

There must be some way
we can convince her.

Jaime!

I need help.

What is it?

I have pain.

Ladies, and gentlemen,
we've just lifted anchor

and are setting
a course for home,

the port of Los Angeles.

Join us later tonight
in the acapulco lounge,

where we're featuring
the fabulous miss Rose York.

You're okay, Jaime,
for now.

You're a lucky girl,
Jaime.

Oh, yes.

But the stress of overdieting
and strenuous exercise

has taken its toll.

The chest pains
were a warning.

Next time...

You mean I could have
a heart att*ck?

It could happen.

I thought that,
if I were thin enough,

the thinnest,

that I'd be better,
the best,

and everybody
would love me.

But then,
I -- I couldn't stop.

I tried to stop dieting,
but I couldn't.

[ Crying ]
You must think I'm a fool.

No, no.

It's just that you
wanted something so much

you lost sight
of what you were doing.

[ Cries ]

I'm...frightened.

I don't know
if I can b*at anorexia.

It can be done.

I'm betting on you.

Hi, Isaac.

Hi, gopher.

Golly,
what the heck is this?

Oh, something
I found in my travels.

It's a drunk light.

Oh, I get it.

This is what a drunk uses
to find his way home.

No, gopher.
Uh, put it in your mouth.

What?

Come on.

Put it in your mouth.

Oh, come on, Isaac.
What is this, some kind of joke?

I'm serious, gopher.
Open your mouth and put it in.

Okay.

See? You're not drunk.
You're sober.

But when a person's blood
has, mm,

more than /

it lights up.

Isaac, are you making sport
of me?

No, gopher.

Watch this.

Excuse me, sir,

but, uh, would you put this
in your mouth?

What is this?
A light snack?

No, sir.
Would you try that?

Surely.

Ah. No, sir.

The other end.

Oh.

That's incredible.

Yeah. That guy
could light up a city.

Thank you, sir.

Hey, I could sell
a million of those.

Where did you get it?

We thought
you'd never ask.

♪♪

Julie, where's that guy,
Barry,

we've been hearing
you talk so much about?

Yeah. I thought you were gonna
bring him to the show.

We haven't even
met him yet.

Well, you're a lot luckier
than I am.

Excuse me. I've got to get
this show on the road.

Hi.

Oh. Hello.

Would you put this
in your mouth, please?

What?

Isaac and gopher
gave me this bulb

because it lights up
when you're drunk.

And I want to make sure
that you're sober

when you hear
what I have to say.

Forget it.

Walter, this bulb
is extremely commercial.

As soon as we get back,
I'll have a contract drawn.

It should make you
a lot of money.

I am not interested.

If you want it,
I'll give it to you.

But I will
never, ever again

try to sell you anything,
ever.

Okay.

Besides,
it's already accomplished

what I wanted it to.

It gave me a good excuse
to come and find you.

You know, Walter,

i have been working on
a little novelty of my own,

and I was wondering

if you would give me
your professional opinion on it.

Sure. What is it?

A new kind of kiss.

A new kind of what?

Here. Try it.

Well?

I'm not sure.

Why don't we start off
with an order of, uh,

Barry, you were one

we've ever had
in the lounge.

You sure fooled me.

Well, there's no business

Do you think you could do
a return engagement?

Well, you have to remember,
Julie,

I mean,
I'm not the real Rose.

Well, I meant a return
engagement with me.

I thought maybe we could go
together to hear the real Rose.

You bet.

Ah.

I hope this doesn't mean

we won't ever see
each other again.

I'll write.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, Jaime.
Uh, Dr. Alan holsted's number.

He specializes in anorexia

and has a very impressive
rate of success.

You'll be in good hands.

Thank you, Adam.

I called my agent
this morning.

Want to hear
a little irony?

I lost the job
because I was too thin.

I'm gonna put a hold
on my career

until I've got this --

till I have my illness
under control.

I think
that's a wise decision.

I'm gonna miss you both.

I'm sorry
I messed everything up.

Oh, please.
You didn't.

Tell me something
just to satisfy my curiosity.

In the race
for Jaime Sloane's affection,

who was ahead --
merrill or me?

It was a dead heat.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

-Well, Isaac...
-Ah, Walter.

...gopher, thank you
for a very inventive cruise.

You're welcome.

What's that,
one of your novelty items?

Oh, no.
This is my cigar.

-Smells like perfume.
-That's right.

It's for women
who like to smoke cigars

but hate the smell.

Should sell
for about...

$.
