Now, Van, you are my brother.
I have to tell you, you're crazy.
You could live for a couple of months on what you're spendin' on this cruise...
Now, Peter....Well then, where would I be?
I'm still unemployed.
Look if I'm goin' broke, i'm goin' out with a bang.
Peter, look, after a year it turned down, so I'm beginnin' to get a little picture.
These companies want younger men, okay?
So when I get back, maybe I'll get a paper route.
All right?
Okay.
Julie: Hello.
Welcome aboard.
Sue: Hi.
Julie: Hi.
I'm Julie McCoy.
Your cruise director.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
We're the hardman's.
Larry and sibil.
Otherwise known as the temporary twosome.
Julie: Temporary?
We're expecting a baby.
You don't look....
Oh...
You know, that's what I keep telling her.
We're adopting.
A baby boy.
He's waiting for us at the
St. Theresa orphanage in puerto vallarta.
Well, that's wonderful.
But it sure seems like a long way to go to get a baby.
Well, we've been on a waiting list for four years.
Well, you see most tourists bring back pottery from Mexico.
We just wanted to be a little different.
It worked.
Oh, April darling, look...
Isn't this beautiful.
I never should have left Jerry Hamlin in charge of the hospital.
Oh, believe me, April, your hospital will be there when you get back.
Jerry Hamlin is perfectly capable of running it.
Running it into the ground.
Yes.
Hey, come on.
Will you relax?
We're supposed to be here enjoying ourselves.
Van?
Oh, my god.
Les, how are you?
Van milner.
I haven't seen you in a dog's age.
Right. Well, how are things at....Larson box and paper?
Right?
Well, I've grown a lot since then, old buddy.
Yeah?
It's Larson industries limited.
Well, great...Great.
And the only thing that isn't limited are the profits.....
Hey, come on say hi to Renee. Okay?
Oh, yeah. Sure.
Renee....honey, you remember Van milner.
Hi.
Oh, how are you, Renee?
Renee: Van....Of course.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Oh, this is a friend of ours.
April dunleavy.
Hi.
How are you?
Hello.
Can't get over it.
Van milner.
McCullough marketing's boy genius.
Genius?
Boy?
Hey, you're not on this cruise alone, are you?
Well...yes, but...I'm not gonna make a religion out of it.
As a matter of fact, does anybody want a drink?
April: Sure.
Wes: Great.
Oh...wes, I think we ought to get checked in first, don't you?
Why don't you two go ahead and we'll join you later.
That sounds good.
What do you think, April?
Fine.
Good. I think it's this way...
April: See you later.
Van: We'll see you later then.
Have fun.
Good to see you.
Wes: Okay...
Well, well, well, well, well....
Maybe we won't have April on our hands after all.
Wes....
Well...maybe she's found somebody that'll take her mind off of business.
Uh-huh...
Get the bags, honey.
Gentlemen, I would like you to meet my good friend Karen maynard.
Karen, this is captain merrill stubing.
How do you do?
And Adam bricker, our ship's doctor.
Hello.
Hi.
Hey, you know, this is my very first cruise.
Now it may take some doing to make me into a sailor.
I wouldn't try to make you into anything.
I like you just the way you are.
Karen, maybe I'd better show you your cabin.
Yeah.
If you need anything, just holler.
Or better yet, just pick up your phone and dial number one.
That's me.
All right.
Let's take the elevator.
Bright...
Good.
Charming.
Gorgeous.
Provocative.
Gorgeous.
Well, what do you know.
We agree on a woman for once...
Oh, come...Come...Doc, we're behaving like a couple of school boys.
Yeah....yeah.
I'll just let her come to me.
Right.
Can you believe those two.
That's the latest event in the middle-aged Olympics.
The second yard hop, skip and lust.
[Ship horn]
Oh, this is so fabulous, Julie.
You are so lucky to be working here.
Oh.
Hey, don't let this sunshine and the sea and all the glamour fool you.
It's just a job.
And if I lost it, I'd kill myself.
Hi.
As the ship's doctor, I know how all this sunshine can dehydrate a person.
So I'm prescribing...
Captain: A dose of champagne...
I think you took that one away from its mother too soon.
How terrific!
It's just a simple toast for a bon voyage.
Would you care to join Karen and me?
Well, you know what they say?
Two's company and three's....
Four...
Four is a crowd.
Yes.
They do say that, don't they?
See you later, crew.
Yes, sir.
Bye, Karen.
Bye.
How 'bout that, man.
Captain just beat doc in his own game.
Doc's just saving himself for later.
What later?
The lady likes our leader.
A hundred bucks says...Our leader loses to the dashing doctor.
You're on.
Everything is ready for little Robin.
Do you think he'll like his name?
Well, it was good enough for my old man, it's good enough for him.
Well, I hope I'm a good enough mother.
Well, if you're not, we can always send for my mother.
I'll learn.
[Knocks on door]
Maybe that's him.
He swam to meet us.
Hi.
Hello.
I hope I'm not disturbing the parents to be, but I wanted to
drop by with a little something I got at the gift shop.
Larry: Oh...Julie. Sue: Oh that's sweet of you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Let me guess what it is...
Gee, I hope it's not another color television set.
No.
Here let's see...
Oh, it's a baby spoon.
Look at that.
Oh, thank you.
You're very welcome.
I always knew my son would be born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Looks like he's got everything else.
Almost, not quite.
[Rambling]
...a baseball mitt.
You're crazy.
Yeah, you're right.
Maybe he'll go out for football.
P.a voice: Attention.
Jackpot bingo is now in progress in the starlight lounge.
So, anyway, last year I made...What?
Six...six million, all right?
But this year, it looks like....
Honey....honey....
We are on a holiday.
And I'm sure that Van and April don't want to hear about how much money you're making.
I do.
That way I can hit you for another donation to my hospital.
Good.
You don't happen to have your checkbook handy, do you, Wes?
I paid at the office.
Honey, we're gonna be late for the bridge tournament.
Come on.
What bridge tournament? There is no bridge tournament...
We'll see you two later...
Okay.
Don't get lost.
April: Bye.
Let's see you...You're running a hospital, huh?
Hm-hm.
The dunleavy institute.
My father founded it.
He was the pioneer in gerontology.
Gerontology?
Hm-hm.
That's the study of...
No. Don't tell me.
It's the study of....Diseases of the aging, right?
Hey...that's right.
Are you impressed?
Yes!
I am...
Anyhow, I worked with dad until I got married, and then when my
marriage bit the dust, I went back to work.
And then when dad died, I took over.
Well, I'm impressed.
That's quite a load to carry.
Yeah, but I love it.
But, you know, Van you ought to meet the people who come to us.
They really make it all worthwhile.
Van: Yeah.
April: You know?
Sure, I know.
I think, you know, actually that's what it's all about...The people.
What do you do, anyway?
Well, I...I used to be the president of a marketing company
and then a few years ago my wife died, so I...I took a
sabbatical...
I did a couple of years in the peace corps.
The peace corps?
Van: Yeah.
April: Really?
I went...I went down to this little village in Bolivia and
tried to teach them how to market their crafts.
Listen, it's my turn to be impressed.
I'd like to buy you a drink.
No, no...No.
You can't buy me a drink.
See I...I have to buy the drinks.
I'll...what I'll do is I'll just...Write it off as a
donation to your hospital, see...It's shifty, but it's very
effective.
Karen, do you mean to tell me that you had dinner with each of them...Separately?
Yes, I did.
Oh, if I keep this up, I'm gonna give the goodyear blimp some competition.
Oh, come on, don't you think it's time you started thinking about making a decision?
I can't.
I mean I really can't.
They're both great guys....
Look at the captain....
He's so strong...And handsome...And look at the doctor....
He's so...He's wonderful...
He's romantic, too....
By the way, was he ever a surgeon?
No. Why?
Because he's got great hands...I'll see you later.
Hello.
Uh-huh...uh-huh...
Hey, gonna tell him... Now watch me...
She's gonna sit right down with the captain.
Come on, Karen.
She's headed for doc.
What are you guys worried about?
The doc and captain are behaving like perfect gentlemen.
We have more at stake here than love.
Hi.
Hi!
Care to join me in a drink?
I'd love to.
Oh, I'm sorry, Karen, but unfortunately doc is gonna be tied up tonight.
He has to prepare his weekly medical report.
But, captain, that report isn't due till we dock in San Pedro.
Then you'll get an early start.
But, captain...
Carry on...
Excuse me...
Shall we?
Captain?
We're not gonna eat again, are we?
Maybe just a nibble.
Oh...
This way.
Looks like the perfect gentlemen have just taken off the gloves.
Excuse me, would you play "yes sir, that's my baby?"
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, Julie.
Julie, that is the most appropriate song in the world.
Thanks for requesting it.
You're welcome.
Well, tomorrow's the big day.
Anybody nervous?
Us?
Nervous?
More like...Petrified.
It seems like we've been waiting forever...And now it's finally happening.
Well, what do you say we have a drink?
Great idea.
I'll get 'em.
Sue: Okay.
Pour enough for everyone.
Thanks...
Oh boy, can I understand how you two must feel.
Well, you know, I'm fine.
It's just that Larry, I mean, I keep telling him to relax.
It's only a baby.
Oh, my lord.
A baby!
Sybil, would you and Larry like me to come with you tomorrow?
You might need some help finding your way around town.
Oh, Julie, I thought you'd never ask.
Oh, good.
Tomorrow then.
Thanks.
Well, I'll bet at your level the pressure is really incredible.
Mmm....
Hey, you know what I was thinkin'?
What?
Suppose you and I just...Drink and be merry and......
What do you...What do you think?
Huh?
All right. No business.
But could I ask you one question first?
What?
Well....well, Van, I've been thinking about what you do
and....i really could use some expert advice.
Do you mind if I asked you a question?
Uh-huh.
You do?
Yes.
Oh.
Well, I'm gonna ask it anyway.
All right.
How do you market a hospital?
A hospital?
See...our big problem is raising the funds to pay for the work.
Yeah. Sure.
Yeah, I understand that.
What....see I think...
I've got this chief administrator...Jerry Hamlin,
but he...He just can't handle it.
Yeah, what's...What's his problem?
He's incompetent.
Yeah, that's...Well...
Plus he won't take advice from anybody...Including me.
Yeah...yeah, I know the type.
Now why don't...
Why don't you just...
Fire him.....I can't.
He's got eight months to go on his contract.
And he won't resign.
Well...in that case, what I would do is just...
Hm-hm...don't say pay him off.
I can't afford that.
No...no, what I was gonna say is what...
Is what I first suggested.
You mean fire him?
No.
That we just, you know, suggest that we drank and be merry and
cut up a little bit and don't talk about business at all...
All right?
Oh, look at that ocean...And the stars...Just beautiful.
You know...I really should fire that Jerry Hamlin.
You know, you really are impossible.
Why?
With this business talk.
I'm sorry.
I just can't seem to stop talking business.
Oh...
Sorry.
Well....actually, you know, there...There is one way to stop you.
How?
Voice: We hope you enjoy your day in port.
The Princess will be leaving puerto vallarta at eleven o'clock this evening.
Wait here please.
The padre will come.
Thank you, pepito.
Can I bring you some water or a piece of bread?
I'm sorry, but that's all we've got here.
Bread and water?
Well, sometimes we eat a little piece of dried cheese.
Oh, poor kid.
What do you call that thing up there in English?
Oh, you mean the ceiling?
That's correct.
Hey, you're smarter than you look.
Senoris...senora hartman?
Ah, padre.
Yes, I'm Larry hartman and this is my wife Sybil.
Senoris...
Sue: Hi. Nice to meet you.
And this is Julie McCoy from the ship.
Mucho gusto.
Julie: (Speaks Spanish) Padre: Pepi, go to lunch your roast beef is getting cold.
I guess they all ran out of bread and water.
I thought I had my...Glasses.
Pepito!
I was only trying to surprise you and clean them up.
Yeah, you mean clean me out.
I told you you were smarter than you looked.
Padre: (Speaks Spanish)
Well, how's the baby, padre?
Is he healthy?
Si, senora.
But there is something I must tell you......
Por favor will you please sit down?
What is it, padre?
Is there something wrong?
Well, when I called the hospital this morning about your
baby...the mother had changed her mind.
She's decided to keep the baby?
Oh Larry...
Oh, honey, I know how long we've been waiting, but maybe next time.
Oh, Mrs. Hartman...Sybil... There'll be other babies.
I mean, I can understand her for wanting to keep it, but it's just...It's not fair.
I know, senora.
I know how you must feel.
Padre, is there anything that you can do?
I mean...
We've come so far.
We've waited so long...
We've planned.
Well, there is another child up for adoption.
He is...
Another boy?
Oh, Larry, did you hear that?
Well, yes, perhaps a little older...
Oh, it doesn't matter. When can we see him?
You already have.
Pepito.
Pepito?
Ah, padre, you've gotta be kidding.
I mean, we wanted a baby.
He's practically ready for high school.
He's a dear boy, padre, but...
He needs much love and understanding.
It has not been easy for him.
He has problems.
Yeah, like....Stealing.
His problems could be solved if he found the right parents.
It takes Patience.
But you would not be sorry.
He is worth it.
Well...we do have a lot to offer him.
Honey, I don't know.
We're set up for an infant, not a juvenile delinquent.
Well, so he swiped your sunglasses.
Big deal.
He is an awfully cute kid.
I see that you have a very big decision for you.
But please...Por favor...Do not feel pressured.
Take plenty of time to think it over.
I'm all packed up, padre.
Are they taking me?
So tell me, Van, what's goin' in the market business?
Well, you tell me, Wes.
You know, I...I dropped out for a while.
Yeah, but you're back with McCullough marketing, aren't you?
No, they...Evidently like the...The guy that took my place, so....
They let you go?
Yeah.
Man, you put that company on its feet.
Well...do me a favor, will you, and...Tell them that.
That's their loss, old buddy.
The lucky guys are the ones that picked you up.
Who would that be?
Oh, don't tell me you're looking for work?
I've been looking for almost a year now.
I'm...I'm almost busted.
I'm broke.
I don't know what to say, Van....
Well, I figured you're...You're on this cruise...First class cabin....
That's just a last fling....
You know, the funny thing is that when I bumped into you I...I thought maybe....
Look, Van...A couple of years ago....I mean we would have been begging you, you know?
But right now....I mean it's not just up to me now.
I mean there's the whole board.
Yeah.
Well, don't, you know, don't worry about it, Wes.
As a matter of fact....Lately I've been thinking about giving
up on marketing and...
Becoming a golf pro.
What do you think?
Wow!
I can't believe I'm really steering this ship.
You're doing swell.
I really had a good time last night.
Yeah, me too.
Too bad it had to end so early....
Karen...i think you....
Here are the medical reports you asked for, sir.
Captain, I'm surprised at you.
A passenger on the bridge, not to mention letting her steer the ship.
I thought that was strictly against regulations.
Yes, well...This is a special....
Now believe me this is for Karen's benefit.
We wouldn't want her to be in violation of maritime regulations, would we?
No.
No need to thank me.
I can see the gratitude in your eyes.
You got to be kidding with this stuff.
I ain't sleeping in no crib.
We already told you, we were bringing in a cot.
Okay.
But believe me, you won't be comfortable on it.
Ah, not me...You.
Look, we just want you to be happy, Robin.
Who can be happy with a name like Robin?
My name's pepito.
Okay, pepito.
And look at all those diapers.
If you want I'll sell them for you...We'll split the profits, okay?
Instead of Oliver twist, we got fagan.
Larry....
Look, Rob...Pepito...What do you say we play a game of go fish?
Go fish?
You treat me like a little baby.
I'm a man.
Okay, man, where're you goin'?
To check out the boat.
Maybe I can find some action.
Ah...
Look, honey, be patient with him.
He's just testing us.
And I'm on the verge of walking out.
It's been such a beautiful day.
Well, let's make it a beautiful night.
You know, I promised Renee we were gonna join them for dinner.
I know that.
You rascal you.
Well....
Van...
What?
Can I make you a proposition?
Yes, you can, darling.
I mean a business proposition.
Oh, I don't know.
Just two minutes. All right?
There's something about my situation that I want to explain to you.
Okay, well let me go first.
All right.
I want you to take Jerry Hamlin's place at the hospital.
And I'll tell you why
Van because we need you down there.
We need your business sense.
We need your marketing skills.
But most of all...I need the way you feel about people.
All right, let me...Let me explain...
Wait a minute now. I'm on a roll.
Don't interrupt me until I'm through.
I know you have details to work out.
And I know that the salary i'm going to offer you isn't nearly what you're making now.
That's...that's not the problem believe me.
Good, because you know there are more important things than money.
I know that.
Like the satisfaction we get out of watching somebody get well.
And you know the research we're doing...
Some day we'll even be able to prevent
disease....hopefully.
But I think...Most...Most important is...I think you and I would make a terrific team.
When I heard you talking the other day about....
So do I.
...the peace....
What?
I said so do I.
What? Think we'd make a terrific...
Yes.
Well, what does that mean...
Yes?
Yes.
You'll take it?
I'll take it.
Oh, Van!
Well, now wait a minute.
Now do we shake on this, or do we kiss on it?
I'm shaking already.
Well, then we should kiss.
I think so.
Well, the captain's been with her now for a full ninety seconds.
Ah...ah...don't talk so fast....
Look at this my man is moving in again.
You know I have enormous respect for you.
But will you respect me in the morning?
Seriously...after overcoming five years of
alcoholism.....you're really lucky to have a man like captain
stubing to lean on.
I mean that's a tough time.
Yeah.
I don't know what i'd do without him.
She is well under his spell.
Wait a minute.
There he goes.
The captain is making his move.
Ooh, do these ever get heavy?
Never.
That's what I like about you.
You are so strong.
Thank you.
And confident.
Thank you.
You seem to be in complete control.
Thank you.
That's really good to bounce back after running two ships aground.
Oh....yes....
How 'bout some fresh air?
I think I'd like that.
This way.
I knew she was gonna leave with the captain.
You want to pay me now?
Are you nuts?
The doc is just pacing himself.
He's a stretch runner.
Well, if he stretches much further, he's gonna snap.
Oh, it's so beautiful out tonight, isn't it?
Yes.
So romantic....I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be.
Well, I can think of one.
My cabin.
P.A. voice: Captain stubing to the bridge immediately.
Excuse me.
Captain stubing to the bridge immediately.
What's a nice girl like you doing in a stuffy deck like this?
Well, where should I be?
In a doctor's stuffy cabin.
It's kinda late.
Yes, but if you count the actual time we've spent together...It's still early.
Come on, doc.
Lifeboat drill.
Lifeboat drill?
Yeah.
I didn't hear a bell.
Ah, there was no bell.
This is for the crew.
It's a new regulation.
I've got to tell the other guys. Come on.
Yeah...
Well.....well, I gotta go.
See you later.
Bye.
Lifeboat drill?
[Knocks on door]
Renee?
Wes (o.C.): And Wes.
Are you decent?
Yes...yes.
I am.
Just a minute.
Come in.
I'm sorry to keep you guys waiting.
Van ready?
We wanted to talk to you before he got here.
What about?
About Van...
You see...April, we feel sort of responsible, because we kind of pushed you two together.
Oh, I want to thank you for that.
He's a phony, April.
He came on this cruise trying to pass himself off as some high-level executive.
Well, isn't he?
He's...he's washed up.
Broke....
Even tried to hit me for a job....
And I figured maybe he might try to....Well, I don't know, charm you into the same thing.
Oh....
Oh no...
Oh, April, you didn't...
April: Oh, I did.
I...i offered him a job at the hospital.
And he jumped at it.
Would you please excuse me?
Of course...
I'm so sorry, April.
I am too.
See you later.
Van: Hi. April: Hey.
You ready?...
Are we...Are we meeting them here or at the dining room?
I can't remember...
What's the matter?
Am I late?...
No...
What's the matter?
Everything.
Wait. What does that mean?
Van, will you just answer one question?
Sure.
Is it true that you've been....Looking for a job for almost a year?
Why do you ask?
Why don't you answer?
Is it true?
Oh...what difference does it make?
Does it make any difference to you?
Yeah, it could.
Yeah, it's true.
Tell you something else, too...
I'm almost broke....
Does that make any difference?
Maybe.....
Van, I don't think we better see each other anymore.
Yeah...yeah....
That thought had occurred to me too.
[Dealer calls numbers]
Did you see my watch?
I couldn't find it in the cabin.
No...maybe you put it away when you went swimming...
Julie?
Hmm?
Have you seen pepito?
Not so far.
Oh, he's over there.
Now look, young man....
Pepito!
What...where have you been?
And where did you get that money?
Well, it's...It's mine...From shining shoes.
Hm-hmm...
I make big tips.
Is that the truth?
Sure.
Oh, pepito...Did you take Larry's watch?
I didn't do nothing.
Come on, now who would buy a watch from a kid for ten dollars?
Anybody...
It's worth at least a hundred.
Fourteen karat gold, man.
Alright, that does it.
You're coming to the cabin for a spanking.
Pepito: No way!
Nobody puts a hand on me.
Ah, except your loving father.
Larry, don't spank him.
Just a talking to...Okay?
This kid's a thief.
Well, maybe if you just sent him straight to bed.
Black thirty-one.
That's my number.
I could have been a winner.
You're a winner all right.
We're the ones who lost out on this deal.
Dealer: Put your bets down please.
How's it goin', Van?
Well, not so good, Wes. Not so good.
Dealer: Place your bets please.
Same lucky shooter coming out.
Forget him April.
What...what's your lucky number?
Oh, don't do that, Van.
No, what is it?
Seven or what?
Eleven.
Eleven...
Let's have a one hundred dollars on eleven, please.
Dealer: Eleven black.
Okay, let's put it on black.
He's crazy.
Dealer: Thirty-one black.
Thank heavens.
That's seven thousand dollars.
Just let it ride.
Dealer: Twenty-seven black...
That's fourteen thousand dollars.
Oh wow.
Here you go, April.
There's something for the hospital.
Van, that's fourteen thousand dollars.
You need that.
No I don't.
No I don't...
I don't need anything.
Pepito!
Pepito, where are you?
Well, knowing him, he's probably trying to crack the ship's safe.
Larry...you remember what father ramos said.
Pepito's never had a decent home.
He's full of hostility.
Well, that makes two of us.
Maybe if we're lucky, he'll stay lost.
I know you don't mean that.
Come on, let's find him.
Pepito!
Oh...
Larry, I'm worried....
Where can he be?
It's all my fault.
I should have talked to him...
Ah, Sybil, I'm sorry.
[Knocks on door]
Pepito!
I'm sorry.
The crew's been searching all night.
There's no sign of him.
What if something's happened to him?
He's just a little boy.
Oh, look, he's got brains.
He knows how to take care of himself.
We'll find him...
If anything happens to him I'll never forgive myself.
Crew: Pepito!
Pepito!
Pepito...pepito... Pepito!
Pepito: Here we go, amigo.
Now we put you in the ocean and it's back to Mexico where I
belong...with or without parents.
Larry: Pepito!
Wait!
No pepito!
Wait...
Leave me alone.
I want to go home to the padre.
Pepito, you have a new home...With us.
We love you, sweetheart...
Pepito, they love you... All of us do.
Then why was he gonna give me a spanking?
'Cause you were stealing.
I always steal.
Before I went to the padre I had to steal so I could eat.
You don't have to steal anymore.
You'll always have plenty to eat.
But you don't want me.
You want a baby.
Oh, pepito....What's a guy like me gonna do with a baby?
Except wait for him to grow up into a boy like you.
I mean babies can't even talk.
You can speak two languages.
We can go places together.
We can do things...Play baseball.
I don't know how to play.
Well...
I'm not much good either, so...Maybe we can learn something together, no?...
What do you say, son?
I think I'm getting a cold.
Julie, I'm gonna need your help.
This thing has gone too far.
I know what you mean.
They're like armed cans.
What am I gonna do?
I think you're just gonna have to choose one or the other, and let it go at that.
I really can't do that.
I mean they're really both great guys.
I wouldn't hurt either one of them.
Besides doc he could start drinking again....
And the captain he could run this ship aground again.
Oh, sorry.
Excuse me.....
Would you like to have lunch with me this afternoon?
I think we should talk.
Gopher: Right.
Oh, you don't want to associate with a guy who stoops to fake boat drills, do you?
Isaac: No way.
Knowing you, I wasn't interrupting anything important.
...that's tellin' him, captain.
Julie...
Excuse me, guys...
Pardon me.
Karen has just told me that she's made a decision.
I did?
Yes I did.
Now she can't go on like this any longer, so she asked me to
tell you that she'll meet you both on deck tonight at eleven o'clock.
Karen: I will?
Yes. I will.
And that's when she'll tell you who it's gonna be.
Now are you both willing to abide by her decision?
I can live with that.
Sounds fair to me.
It's fine with me.
Me too...
Until tonight.
I'll be thinking of you.
I'm gonna what?...Julie!
Isaac: Don't worry, doc.
Look, listen...Don't worry.
If she chooses the captain, I've got a foolproof plan to put him out of action.
Now first...
Now hold it, Isaac.
This is nuts.
I like Karen a lot, but...Merrill stubing and I are good friends.
I don't want to risk hurting that friendship.
I'll just let him have her.
But doc!
Isaac, my mind's made up.
You got a hundred bucks I can borrow?
Hmm?
Gopher: I love the way you laid into him back there, sir.
Definitely came out the winner.
Who are you kidding?
We're both a couple of fools.
I mean this is ridiculous.
I'm the captain.
I'm becoming a spectacle.
I'm gonna bow out and let Adam have her.
You're gonna what?
Well, you know how doc is about women.
His ego needs this kind of thing.
There's no telling what he'll do once Karen chooses me.
I mean, he could go to pieces....
There's no woman who's worth that.
She is to me.
Van...
Van, I'm sorry for what I said.
Well, i'm...I'm sorry for what I didn't say.
I...i am broke...And I did ask Wes for a job, but I didn't ask you for one.
I know you didn't.
I know.
I'm...I'm very good at what I do...
And I'm sure that I'll get a lot of job offers...But there's only one you.
You too.
The captain's probably with her right now.
Yeah.
Well, it's her loss.
You're right.
Unfortunately, I feel a certain loss myself.
It's your move, sir.
Oh.
I already made that move, gopher.
I guess it was the right one.
Well, it was the noble thing.
Thank you, gopher.
It was an awful choice to make...
Lose doc's friendship or break Karen's heart.
Not to mention gopher's bank account.
What was that?
Ah...ah, nothing, sir.
Your move.
Oh, yes.
Karen!
Hi.
Make your decision?
Yes I did and neither one of them showed up to hear it.
Oh....
I guess it's my fault.
I kept them dangling too long.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Who was it gonna be?
What's the difference.
I really blew it.
Oh, you can tell me.
What's the point?
Who cares?
I care.
I mean I'm interested.
Karen!
Now how am I supposed to get any sleep tonight.
Here you go, pop....
Good as new.
My wristwatch.
Pepito, you....
No...
I make him good trade.
The baby silver spoon and a couple of (speaking Spanish).
Come on I'll give you caliente...
She said she'd meet us right here...
There she is. Hi. April: Hi.
Hi there, big winner.....
Boy, that was some king-size donation....
Lot of style, old buddy.
You know there might be a place for you at Larsen after all.
Van: Well, Wes....You'll have to talk to my new boss about that.
Oh, really?
Well, the dunleavy institute is getting a good man....
So is April dunleavy....
Wes: Congratulations.
Renee: Oh, that's terrific.
Congratulations.
Julie: Karen!
Karen: Oh, Julie.
Thanks for everything, honey.
Sure, I'm sorry that things turned out the way they did with captain and doc.
No that's okay.
I'm the big loser.
What are you doing here, captain?
I thought you'd be saying goodbye to Karen.
Oh...oh...very funny, Adam.
It's not enough I bowed out and let you have her, now you're gonna rub it in.
You what?!
You bowed out and let me have her?
Yes.
I bowed out for you.
You did?
Well, of course.
You mean more to me than she does.
Well, me too.
Oh, I mean...You do too.
Doctor...
Captain...
We didn't lose a girl...We kept a friendship.
Will you say goodbye to them for me?
I will, but Karen....
Now could you tell me who you were going to choose?
Mmm...well, let's just put it this way.
In case they bother to ask you...You honestly don't know, do you?
Oh...bye-bye...
Captain: Se la vie
doctor: Se la vie
au voir, my love.
Au voir.
