he always gets an "a."

Mm-hmm.

How about that?

What?

Right on cue.
There's your boy now.

I'm Judy McCoy,
your cruise director.

Hi.

Oh, no!

Oh, here you go,

That's promenade deck,

Oh, well,

Have a wonderful time.

Oh, I always do.

out of the bushes now.

He's gone.

You know, you're gonna have
to face him sooner or later.

I know.
I know that, Johnny.

I'm just --
I'm just not ready yet.

You waited this many years.

I guess another hour
won't hurt.

My throat's dry.
Let's get a drink.

Anything.

Sir?

Gopher, did you and I

for Vicki's birthday party?

Sir, we talked

Good.

Isaac, did, uh...

Yes, I did, sir.

Everything we talked about
for the party, taken care of.

Captain, you have to relax.

We've all taken care

Good. I want her to have
a great birthday party.

She'll never be again.

No.

You may find this hard
to believe, but neither will I.

I believe it, but only
because I'm sweet and innocent.

Oop.

Excuse me. Hi.

Hi, goph.

Hi, doc.

Hi.

Where's everybody going?

Are we having
a lifeboat drill in port?

[ Laughs ] No. It's
just that everybody has
a lot of work to do.

Oh.

So, how's
the birthday girl?

I'm all right,

except for you're the only one
who's mentioned my birthday.

Nobody else
has said a word.

Well, everybody has
a lot on their minds.

I know.

Oh, well.
It doesn't matter, anyway.

It's only
my th birthday...

A precious

in every young girl's voyage
to womanhood.

to marry me, remember?

I know.

And that's the shock
that caused Arthur's amnesia.

Roger, look,
we'll never be happy

until I do everything
in my power

to help him
get his memory back.

I feel so guilty.

You are such a good person.

I'll pick you up

Okay.

Bye-bye, foo face.

Well, does anything
look familiar?

Looks like a ship.

It is a ship --
the pacific Princess.

That's why we're here.

Ah.

How about people?

Um, do these two
look familiar?

Mm, I don't think so.

Nope.
Names don't ring a bell.

Can we play, too?

I'm Ruth Justin,

Arthur smalley...
I think.

You know
you're Arthur smalley.

He's suffering from amnesia,
three months now.

Oh, sorry
about the levity.

An accident?

No, it was emotional.

Um, it happened
when I broke off our engagement.

Oh.

Arthur:
You shouldn't have done it.

I hear
I'm a wonderful guy.

Well, gee.

Glad to see you haven't
lost your sense of humor.

Yeah.

I don't know
if I even had one.

He mentioned the pacific
Princess a couple of times,

so I thought maybe he took
a cruise before he met me.

Well, you know, you do look
kind of familiar to me.

I was thinking
the same thing.

That's wonderful!

Maybe this trip
will jog his memory.

Mm-hmm.

Well, see you later.

Okay. Bye.

Bye-bye.

I would have,

You don't even drink.

Not anymore,
but I used to...

And too much.

Dad...

You don't have to exaggerate
so that I won't drink.

Last night was a special
occasion, that's all.

Vicki, I'm not exaggerating
about my past drinking.

It was a long time ago,
but I drank.

I drank all the time.

[ Sighs ] Dad.

One evening, when I was
drinking and driving,

I almost hit a child
in the street.

Well, I'm sure
that was a terrible experience

for you, dad, but...

Everybody drinks too much
sometimes.

That doesn't make you
an alcoholic.

Vicki, I am an alcoholic.

I am.

The reason
I didn't tell you before --

I didn't want you
to lose respect for me.

And I wouldn't have any respect
for myself if I let you think

I just drank too much
sometimes.

Well, I'm sure
it wasn't that bad.

I can see
you're embarrassed and confused

about what I'm telling you,

but it was that bad...

Most every night.

In the morning,
I'd look in the bathroom mirror.

I'd be staring at somebody
I never saw before in my life...

...somebody you never
saw before in your life.

Dad, I think I'd like
to be alone for a while.

[ Sniffles ]

I understand.

I can tell by your face

you don't think of me
as a close friend.

Yeah, well,
that's an understatement.

I just want a couple
of minutes of your time, okay?

Sure. Come in.

I really blew it
this morning.

Don't ask me why. Maybe I got
too much sun or something.

Yeah, well,
don't worry about it.

You're not the one
I should be angry at.

In fact,
you probably did me a favor.

Yeah?
Maybe I can do you another one.

So, how goes it with Arthur?

Oh, fine.

He has his memory back.

Hey, great!

That's marvelous.

You must be pleased
and relieved.

Yes, relieved.

I guess it does give one
a sense of accomplishment.

You're not exactly
bouncing off of the ceiling.

You know what's strange?

When I first broke up
with Arthur,

it seemed to make a lot
of sense,

but since I've been helping him
these past few months,

I really see him
in a different way.

Good evening, all.

Hi, Ruth.

Hi.

Hey, gopher.

Hmm?

You better stay
away from Arthur.

He got his memory back.

I know that.

Boy, I can just imagine
how you felt.

Can you imagine that guy
faking his amnesia like that?

So, Ruth,
can I buy you a drink?

Um...oh, no, no.

I-I've got to be going.

I'll see you all later.

Bye-bye.

She didn't tell us the part
about faking it.

Unh-unh.

No?

Well, I guess
she was too embarrassed.

Leave it to you
to make sure she was.

Well, you're being
too hard on yourself.

You had the courage
to tell Vicki your story.

If she can't seem to accept
it now, that's not your fault.

Maybe it is...

Because I probably
waited too many years

before I told her.

You used
your best judgment.

To you,
this was the time.

You know, Adam,
there's a greater chance

for children of alcoholics
to turn out the same way.

All these years,
I've been thinking,

"I have to warn Vicki
without frightening her."

[ Sighs ]
I'm afraid I failed.

Merrill,
however she took it,

I think
you did the right thing.

When you have the courage
to do the right thing,

it's supposed
to turn you into a hero.

I'm afraid
I'm not Vicki's hero anymore.

Isn't this a beautiful bracelet

Looks beautiful on you.

Vicki, before we start talking

there's a subject
we have to finish.

And for your own sake,
you can't sweep under the carpet

what I told you
about my alcoholism.

I guess the reason
I didn't accept it at first

was because it didn't seem
like the man, the father,

I'd known.

I'm glad you didn't know
that man, that father.

But after I thought
about it for a while,

i realized that maybe you
