[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.
Isaac, this is my friend Sophia.
- Piacere. - Hello.
Piacere.
Are you racers?
- Well-- - yeah, sure.
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 25 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 $20,000.
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 shot 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 $35 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 $4 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.
50 million francs.
[Gasp]
[Speaking French]
75 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
died 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 23 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 $100, but I got us into the race.
$100?
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.
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 100 kilometers long.
So?
Kilometer's less than a mile.
Can't be that far.
So that works out to 62 miles over those mountains.
So what's the problem?
Half of it's got to be downhill.
Ok, you go ahead and kill 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?
[Gunshot]
[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 30 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 $10
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 died.
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, beating 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 90 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.
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 kill 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.
$5 million us against the villa.
Why should I do that?
You know I've paid $7.5 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 15 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!
