Love,
exciting and new.
Come aboard.
We're expecting you.
Love,
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.
Love,
won't hurt anymore.
It's an open smile
on a friendly shore.
It's love!
Welcome aboard.
It's love.
Dr. Akers?
Bricker?
It can't be.
Adam bricker, the boy wonder.
What on earth are you doing
here?
Well, I finally found a way
to combine business with
pleasure.
I'm the ship's doctor.
Lorna, you remember Adam bricker.
Of course.
Good to see you again.
I see you've already met Julie
McCoy.
Yes, we have.
Mmm...
I can still taste that chili you
used to make.
Well, that's the longest
case of heartburn I've ever
heard of.
Well, you can see where I
ended up.
What about you?
Are you still chief surgeon at
city hospital?
No, no.
I'm no longer practicing.
Actually, I had nothing to say
about it.
It seems our car got into a
slight misunderstanding on the
freeway with a station wagon,
so...
Plastic.
Naturally, I had to retire.
Well, what good's a doctor who
can't play golf?
Well, it was a pleasure meeting
you.
We'll be seeing each other.
I'd love to.
Ahhh...
What a shame.
He was a brilliant surgeon.
Oh, he seems to have
adjusted very well.
I've never seen anything
phase that man.
I once saw him operate on two
emergency cases at the same
time.
Quite a doctor.
Well, you must have been
quite a doctor yourself
"boy wonder."
Actually, that name was
given to me by the...
Nurses.
Oh.
Oh!
Excuse me.
Oh...I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I was just looking for my
make-up.
Make-up?
You don't need it.
How can you improve on
perfection?
Well, thank you.
Listen...
Could I interest you in the moon?
Huh?
I'm an expert on the moon.
Really.
I'll tell you what, meet me on
the promenade deck tonight at
eleven o'clock...And I'll point
it out to you.
Oh...well, I'll have to
have time to think about that.
I just thought about it.
I'll see you at eleven.
Ah, excuse me, could you tell me
if Gwen winters has come on
board yet?
Not yet.
Oh, well, when you see her,
could you ask her to call me
in my cabin right away?
I'd be glad to.
But first you're gonna have to
tell me who you are.
Oh...sorry.
Carol...carol gilmore.
Oh, yes.
Are you and miss winters
travelling together?
Sort of.
We're old friends from college
and she's engaged now and she's
coming on board with her fiance.
Hey.
Gwen (o.C.): Carol?
Gwen!
How are you?
You made it.
Hey.
Well, where is he?
Where is the victim?
He should be here.
Wait'll you meet him.
You're gonna love him.
Uh-huh.
And if I don't, we can always
find you somebody else.
Isn't it fabulous.
It's gonna be such a romantic
cruise.
Yes.
I was just thinking the same
thing myself.
Captain stubing!
Yes?
Ah, your copy of the
passenger list, sir.
Thank you. Mr. Smith.
Mr. and Mrs....
What's this?
Marmalade, sir.
Mr.and Mrs. Marmalade.
No, it's just plain
marmalade.
I was going over the list at
breakfast.
Here's your copy of the weather
report.
Thank you.
Southwesterly winds, five knots,
light seas and a possible
increase in....
Maple syrup.
When I told you I
wanted you to eat, sleep and
drink your work, I meant it as a
figure of speech.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
Yes, well, from now on
bring me reports with less
calories.
Oh, captain, are you
always so informal with your
crew, captain?
Well, I'm not exactly
captain bligh...Mr...
Schmidt...karl schmidt.
Ah, herr schmidt.
Tell me captain, do you
like your job here?
Like it?
I love it.
Why?
Because you may not
have it much longer.
Carol.
Oh, hi.
Well, where is he?
Don't tell me you've broken up
already?
He's not getting away.
He's one in a million.
Well, he certainly must be.
Conservative old Gwen marrying a
man she's only known a couple of
months.
Well, when you meet Mr. Right,
you know it.
I was just thinking the
same thing myself.
Don't tell me.
Hm-hm.
I met someone.
And you think he's Mr. Right?
Well, he may not be Mr. Right
but he is certainly Mr. Smooth.
We barely met when he asked me
for a stroll in the moonlight.
Well, where is he?
Don't tell me you broke up
already.
Oh, Gwen, wait till you
see him.
You will go absolutely bananas.
Here comes Paul.
Paul..
Hi, hon. Hi.
Well, my two favorite
people finally meet.
Carol...right?
Gwen's told me so much about you,
I feel I...Already know you.
Yes,
I feel I know you
already, too.
Well...isn't...isn't this
wonderful?
All the sun and everything?
Yeah.
I'll bet it's really something
in the moonlight, as well.
Bet it is.
Anybody for margaritas?
Me.
I'll get 'em.
No talking behind my back.
He's trying a little too
hard.
But you do like him, don't you?
Yeah.
Sure.
Something you don't like
about him?
Let me work on it.
Mr. Schmidt?
May I sit down?
Oh, by all means, herr
kapitan.
Thank you.
This morning you said something
that...
I must say has left me a bit disturbed.
Oh, that...That you may
not have your job much longer?
Yes.
Forgive my bluntness, but...What
exactly are we talking about?
Nothing sinister, I
assure you.
Tell me captain stubing, have
you ever heard of a ship called
the Lorelei?
That's like asking a
quarterback if he's ever heard
of the Superbowl.
It's only the finest luxury
liner afloat.
Have you ever seen her?
Yes.
Once.
They broke the mold when they
built that ship.
If she were a painting, she'd be
hanging in the louvre.
Then what would you say,
captain stubing, if someone
told you that you are being
considered for the...
Captain of the Lorelei?
What would I say?
Any captain would sell his soul
to stand on that bridge.
I represent the owners
of the Lorelei, captain.
And you are being considered for
the position.
And my feeling is...
That you're our man.
You're serious?
Quite serious.
Carol!
I've been looking for you.
We have to talk.
Do we?
Yes.
There you are.
Please keep our date
tonight.
It's important.
Hi, I...
Was just picking up some magazines.
Well, don't be long.
I don't want to waste this
sunshine.
So, Carol, where's Mr.
Smooth?
Oh...things got a little
rougher once I got to know him.
It seems that he...He has a
girl.
Ah, that's too bad.
That never stopped you in high
school.
You were on the top of the
senior girl's enemies' list.
This isn't like you.
You used to get anybody you
wanted.
Yes, well, life is much
more complicated than high
school.
You...coming with us,
Carol?
Ah, no thanks.
Postcard time.
We'll see you for dinner,
won't we?
Hm-hm.
For sure.
Bye.
Look, she likes you.
I know.
She'll warm up to you.
You'll see.
I remember the first time I
assisted at one of your
operations.
Las Vegas show girl,
appendectomy.
How could you possibly
remember that?
Well, for one thing, it
was the first time I ever saw a
patient asked out for dinner in
the middle of an operation.
I bet she would have said yes,
if she'd been awake.
You know, Adam, you were
almost as good with that scalpel
as you were with the ladies.
You would have made a damn fine
surgeon.
Well, I guess my heart was
always in general practice.
You know what they say
about gp's?
In this age of increasing
accomplishment...
The gp learns less and less about more and
more, until finally he knows
nothing about everything.
While the specialist learns
more and more about less and
less till finally he knows
everything about nothing.
Touché.
But why here?
Well, what's wrong with
here?
Well...look around you.
This isn't exactly the front
lines of medicine.
I mean there's important work to
be done, lives to be saved.
And here you are, Adam.
Lying in the sun.
Giving aspirin to vacationing debutantes.
Now what kind of professional
accomplishment can you get from
that?
Well, it's not all aspirins
and sunburn.
We've had emergency cases.
Adam,
get the most out of life that you can.
You never know when it might
suddenly be taken away from you.
See you later.
The captain's in the
running for skipper of the
Lorelei?
Huh?
You sure you heard that right?
Positive.
I majored in eavesdropping at
bartender's school.
It'll be kinda sad losing
the captain.
Yeah.
But what a break for him.
Yeah.
Well, when does he find out if
he gets the job?
Well, I think it all
depends how much he impresses
schmidt on this cruise.
Well, then let's make
sure the captain does impress
herr schmidt, huh?
Ooh, look, dear,
there's a bridge tournament
later and a shore excursion in
the morning.
I think it's wonderful how you
manage to entertain so many
people so well.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you.
Actually, it's the right
captain that makes or breaks a
cruise.
If you're having a good time,
it's the captain you should
thank.
We'll do that.
The next time we see him.
Well, just turn around.
Ooh, captain.
Yes?
Captain, we want to just
compliment you on the
beautiful job you're doing
making all of us feel so
comfortable.
Thank you very much.
Excuse me, captain, would
you sign this for me, please?
Of course.
Thank you, sir.
Ah, thank you again,
Mr. and Mrs. Magwich.
Ralph, he remembered our name.
Nice to have you aboard again.
The third time, isn't it?
Captain, I'm impressed with your
passenger relations.
Well...
To think that you
remembered their names.
Oh, it's nothing.
May I buy you a drink, herr
kline?
Oh, thank you.
And the name is schmidt.
Dr. Akers,
I understand you were a
pioneer in open heart surgical
techniques.
It must be very satisfying for
you knowing that you've saved
many lives that would have been
lost twenty years ago.
Well,thank you very much captain,
it's the job of a doctor to save lives.
Although I've noticed lately
some of my colleagues are much
more interested in...
Having a good time.
I used to be much more handy
with a knife.
Here, let me help.
I don't need any help.
Thank you.
If this steak were a patient,
we'd have to notify the next of
kin.
Excuse me, captain stubing sir,
sorry to interrupt,
but we have an emergency that
requires your immediate
attention.
What kind of emergency,
gopher?
I'd rather not say, sir.
No need to alarm the passengers.
Oh...just the captain,
hm?
Duty calls.
Excuse me, ladies and
gentlemen.
Isn't the captain
magnificent?
I don't know what we'd do
what's happening, miss
McCoy?
Oh, the digiplot computer
is out of order.
And captain stubing's gonna have
to navigate by the stars, like
they did in the old days.
I imagine we won't see
more of the captain this
evening.
Well, you never can tell.
The man is a wiz with electronic
equipment.
He knows how to repair it?
The man's a genius.
Oh...excuse me, won't you?
That is the emergency?
You took me away from my dinner
guests to show me a nail
sticking out of a rail?
Yes, sir.
How do you think we ought to
handle it?
I suggest that you find
a hammer and hit the nail until
it is no longer sticking out.
Oh, why didn't I think
of that?
I guess that's how you got to be
captain and I didn't.
This isn't like Carol.
She's never late.
Honey, she'll show.
Have your soup, it'll get cold.
I was hoping you two would
like each other.
Gwen, I think she's super.
I'm glad.
I'll bet I know what it is.
What what is?
Carol.
She's probably still upset about
that guy.
What guy?
She met him when she was
coming on board.
Apparently he turned out to be a
real creep.
Oh...
Well we really shouldn't judge.
Believe me, if he hurt Carol,
he's a creep.
I'm sorry it took so long.
Back so soon?
Well, everything's back
to normal.
Oh, you fixed it.
Yes.
Just needed a few whacks with a
hammer.
Good as new.
Dr. Akers
glad I ran into you.
I was wonder,
would you like me to show you
and Mrs. Akers around
puerto vallarta tomorrow?
Well, thank you very much,
Adam.
But I think I'll spend the day
lying on deck with the other
invalids.
Art...
But, thank you very much,
Adam for the offer.
I'm glad to see that you're
branching out.
Part time doctor.
Part time tour operator.
Not bad.
Well, Dr. Akers,
goodnight.
I'm sorry.
He gets like this sometimes.
He doesn't mean the things he
says.
I don't know him anymore.
Surgery is his whole life.
It's the only thing he ever
wanted to do.
Since the accident...
He feels useless.
But he's not useless.
With his surgical knowledge,
he could teach at any medical
school in the country.
He could write books.
I know.
I've tried to tell him, he won't
listen to me.
He won't listen to anyone.
I keep hoping that in time.
I'm sorry you had to see him
like this.
He was always so fond of you.
If there's anything I can do.
No, I'm afraid there's
nothing anybody can do.
Good night.
Goodnight, Mrs. Akers.
So there you are.
I thought maybe you ran off with
the charming Dr. Bricker.
Why did you have to be so
rough on him?
Oh, come on.
I was just kidding.
You know I wish this ship had
television.
I'd like to watch a re-run of
the fugitive and root for the
one-armed man.
Please, art, no more jokes.
Well, you know what they say,
darling.
Laughter is the best
medicine.
After all, it's the only kind of
medicine I'm practicing these
days.
Carol?
Where have you been?
Why didn't you join us for
dinner?
Oh...I'm not hungry.
All right.
Out with it.
What don't you like about him?
Oh, nothing.
You're just imagining things.
Carol...
Look, believe me, it's
not important.
It's very important to me.
I'm gonna be spending the rest
of my life with this guy.
Well, remember you're the
one that dragged this out of
me.
Go on.
Well...
Your fiancé and I bumped into
each other before you came on board.
So?
He's the man that asked
me out for a date tonight.
No.
I'm supposed to meet him
on the promenade deck
at...eleven.
I don't believe you.
Well, why would I lie?
Paul wouldn't do that.
Why don't you go up to
the promenade deck and see for
yourself.
I just might do that.
Hey, I thought only
dentists were allowed to look
down in the mouth.
And I thought only henny
youngman was allowed to make bad
jokes.
Well, I'll stop if you will.
What's wrong?
Oh...nothing.
Oh, it's just something Dr.
Akers said.
I don't think he's very
impressed with the job I do
here.
Why do you care so much what
dr.akers thinks?
Oh, gopher, the man was a
giant.
You could fit my whole career on
his thumbnail.
Well hey, you're a giant
in your own right, too.
I mean every port we've ever
anchored in there are women who speak
your name with awed whispers.
Thanks.
Come on.
I've always wanted to dance with
a living legend.
Okay, I'll dance with you.
I didn't mean you.
You mean there's another
living legend here tonight.
I know.
But we really weren't helping.
Doc needs some time to figure
things out for himself.
Ah, there might be
somebody else we could help.
Oh, good evening, herr schmidt.
Oh, good evening, miss McCoy.
Mr. Smith.
Won't you sit down?
Thank you.
Call me Julie.
Thank you Julie.
I'm gopher.
Gopher?
Hey, there's something I can do for you?
Oh, no, sir, we're here
to do things for you.
Yes.
The captain insists that a good
passenger is a happy passenger.
Hm...
A happy passenger is a good,
a good happy passenger is
good...happy.
I see.
Your captain must be a truly
remarkable man.
Oh, he is.
We all know that it's just a
matter of time before some smart
far-sighted cruise mind just
grabs him and moves him onto
bigger and better things.
You know, it's quite a
coincidence that you should
mention that.
Because I represent the owners
of a ship called the Lorelei,
whose captain is about to
resign.
You're kidding.
Did you hear that?
He's from the Lorelei.
Doesn't that beat all.
And they are looking
for the right man to take over
the captaincy.
He must be authoritive.
Oh, captain stubing is
very authoritive.
Exceedingly authoritive.
Understanding.
Except when he's being
understanding, then he's being
understanding and authoritive
authoritive with...With
understanding.
Our captain must be strong.
Oh, captain stubing's
very strong.
He has a lot of...
Yeah...yeah tactful.
Strong tactfulness.
That's what captain stubing's
got.
In fact, the captain
must care for his ship like a
mother.
Well, captain stubing is a real..
Hey...
Wait captain stubbing is a great dancer.
Sometimes we call him the dancing skipper.
And other times we just call him
old soft shoe stubing.
Sometimes just happy feet.
Are you still there?
I'm still here.
But what happened to Paul?
Well, maybe he got cold feet.
Or maybe you just can't
stand to see two people happy
together.
Hey, I'm your best friend.
I don't want him to show up as
much as you do.
Carol?
Sorry.
I've been trying to get
you alone all day.
You must think I'm a heel, huh?
Huh-uh.
First class.
Well, it's quite nice to
be tops in your field.
Look, I don't have much of an
explanation, except that some of
my friends threw me a farewell
party.
They were kidding me about all
the fun I was gonna miss on this
cruise now that I'm practically
an old married man.
Anyway, I guess it kind of got
to me because when I saw you
i...
You thought you'd have a
fling with me.
Uh-huh.
With the most beautiful girl I
could find.
Of course, one minute after I
made the date, I was sorry.
'Cause Gwen means everything to me.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I,
won't be meeting you
or anybody else in the
moonlight.
I mean that Carol.
I'm very much in love with your best
friend.
Yayyyy...
Hey, Gwen, you were absolutely right!
Ah...
Oh, I think that you,
no, we've got a problem.
Yes,
a problem.
Ah, captain stubing.
Yes.
Oh, captain.
It was a great idea your changing course
like that.
It's like sailing on glass.
He's incredible, isn't he?
Ah, excuse me.
Pina coladas, gentlemen?
Oh, thank you.
Oh, too bad.
Ever since the captain
suggesting adding grenadine, we
haven't been able to make enough
of these.
Mr. Smith.
Miss McCoy.
What's come over you two?
Us?
I think I know,
captain.
They're obviously trying to help
you make a good impression so I
will hire you for the Lorelei.
That's impossible.
I haven't told anyone about
that.
Crews have a way of
finding out these things.
Is that what you were doing?
I apologize for them,
herr schmidt.
Oh, please don't,
captain.
Crew loyalty is an excellent
sign.
Although I've already made my
decision.
The job is yours...
If you want it.
Captain, you did it!
Congratulations, sir.
You're gonna be a biggie.
Wait a minute.
I haven't said yes yet.
Oh, but you will, won't
you?
Of course he will.
If he didn't, he'd be a stupid jerk.
Uh...
A less than intelligent person.
In my opinion.
Now what am I gonna do?
Lorna darling...
It's time for breakfast.
Keep up this pace and we'll be,
we'll be late for dinner.
Go ahead.
I'm not hungry anyway.
I'd rather spend the morning in
you want me to roam
around the decks all alone?
All by myself?
I'm sure you'll find
something to do.
Ah, I'm sure I will.
Maybe I'll find a bridge game
that's short a hand.
Oh thanks.
Any luck?
She won't even talk to me.
I nearly banged in her cabin
door.
I phoned.
Even laid in wait for her in the
passageway, but she gave me the
brush.
I don't know what to do.
It's all my fault.
No, you were only looking
out for your friend.
I'm sorry.
And to think I was afraid
you two wouldn't get along.
Oh...
Gwen..you're making a mistake.
Paul is a...A wonderful guy.
Then you take him.
Adam?
Hello.
Hi.
I was wondering if you could
refill this prescription for me.
Well, let's have a look.
I've been having a little
trouble.
This was just filled a week
ago.
Fifty pills.
I...i spilled them in the
sink.
They got a little wet.
I threw them out.
Very clumsy of me.
Oh, well, nobody's perfect.
Do you mind if I get them to you
a little later.
Don't you have any here?
Well, I don't have that
much call for Diazepam.
And they're below.
I'll have to dig them out.
But I promise you'll have them
before the end of the day.
Good.
That'll be just fine.
Thank you.
Thank you, Adam.
Quite all right.
In that case, I'll
take a piece of that.
Mr. Smith!
Yes?
I will not stand for
dawdling when we have passengers
who may be needing your
assistance.
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, but I was just
telling a joke, sir.
See this.
Ah, if we want jokes, I'll
hire Bob hope.
Get back to work.
And forget the ad-libbing.
And you, Mr. Washington.
Did you forget your
breakfast this morning?
Or are you planning on eating up
all our profits?
Captain!
It's a beautiful day today,
isn't it?
Well, thank you for the
weather report.
But I would prefer your report
on the guest entertainers for
next week.
Your report that is two days
late.
Good morning.
Captain?
Yes?
Weren't you a bit severe?
When I command a ship I
do things my way.
But, you can't...
And I would greatly
appreciate it if you would tend
to your business and allow me to
tend to mine.
In short, herr schmidt bug off.
Good afternoon.
And welcome to Puerta vallarta.
All those wishing to go
para-sailing meet on the Karl
deck gangway in ten minutes.
Dr. Akers.
Oh, hello, Adam.
How are you?...
How is medical Disneyland?
Any confetti overdoses today?
Um...
Mrs. Akers asked me to refill
this prescription this morning.
So?
Well, tranquilizers are
easy to become dependent on, and
in my opinion...
I wrote that prescription
for lorna after the accident.
You think you have any
qualifications to second guess
me?
Well, I'm not trying to
second guess anyone.
Lorna has had difficulty
relaxing.
She takes these to help her.
Is that so difficult for you to
understand?
I think maybe you ought to stick
to what you're qualified for, Adam,
and leave the medicine to
the real doctors.
Hi.
Can I help you?
I have an appointment
with the doctor.
Oh.
The doctor isn't in right now
and he didn't mention any
appointments this afternoon.
I'm early.
I'll just wait in the
examination room.
Oh well, certainly.
I guess that will be fine.
Is anything the matter?
I just...Stumbled.
I'll see the doctor some other
time.
I don't know what's
gotten into the captain.
I heard he almost fired a member
of the crew today for wearing a
dirty uniform.
Oh, well, neatness is
important.
For a guy who greases
engines?
I think this job
opportunity is getting to him.
He is trying so hard to impress
schmidt.
He could louse himself up.
Well, it's up to us to
tell him.
Give him some advice, huh?
That's exactly what we
should do.
Yeah.
Am I late for the
afternoon coffee break?
Call us when you've
spoken to him, McCoy.
Excuse me.
Sir...
These people...
You have to stay on their tails
constantly.
Ya...
You still haven't given us your
answer, captain stubing.
Are you accepting our offer?
Ahhh...oh,
excuse me,
Mr. Powell, I need to talk to you.
Adam?...
Adam...
I'm sorry I blew up at you. I know you meant well.
But, I'm just not
qualified.
Oh, come on, now.
I didn't mean that.
Arthur...
I don't feel very well.
Lorna!
What's the matter?
Oh...
Lorna!
It hurts.
Can you walk?
Help me, please.
Go down to my office.
Ask the nurse for my medical kit
and bring it to your cabin.
Maybe all she needs is to
lie down for awhile.
Don't argue.
Go.
Come on.
Well?
Your wife is suffering from
withdrawal.
Withdrawal?
You mean that she's addicted to
Diazepam?
You're gonna be just fine,
Mrs. Akers.
I never realized.
She said they helped her.
She must have been boosting
the dosage substantially to be
affected like this.
And I kept writing those
prescriptions.
I never thought of keeping
track.
Well, sometimes we're too
close to a problem to be able to
see it clearly.
But I should have been
able to see it.
I'm a doctor, aren't I?
Or I was a doctor.
I guess I'm not much of anything
anymore.
Do you know what it feels like
to wake up in a hospital room
and find out that your life is
over?
Well, I do.
I'm about as useful as a...
As an airplane with one wing.
All because of your wife.
Say it, Arthur!
For god's sake, will you finally
say it?
I'm responsible for your life
being over.
I insisted on driving that
night.
You would have seen that station
wagon before it was too late.
No, lorna, I never
thought that way.
I can't stand it anymore.
I can't face what I've done to
you.
You pretend it doesn't bother
you.
You make jokes about it.
Please...
No more jokes.
No more.
I'll be in my office.
Come on.
Cheer up.
How?
How am I supposed to live my
life without Gwen?
Come on.
Can I get you something
to drink?
You can get me something
to throw.
Look, I know you're sore
at them, but...
You're only hurting yourself.
What business is it of
yours?
How do you figure that?
Well, all they ever talk
about is you.
I can imagine what they say.
Basically, they say that
they both care for you very
much.
Well, they sure have a
funny way of showing it.
May I have this dance?
You lead very well.
They think they're gonna
get away with this?
Over my dead body.
Ah, excuse me.
If there's going to be a fight,
why don't you take him
and I'll handle her.
You have some nerve
hitting on my best friend.
And you.
You led him on.
You know I wouldn't do a
thing like that.
You just said I was your best
friend.
Was is the key word.
She is your friend.
All she tried to do was protect
you from me.
And a good thing, too.
We all know what kind of person
you turned out to be.
Well, I have to go now.
Now, hold it!
I've had enough!
I'm up to here with this.
Carol is not my type at all.
Don't you insult my friend.
Hey...
What's wrong with my type?
Nothing.
I like you very much.
Ha!
Then you can have her!
Listen, honey, when I
want a man, I'll get him for
myself.
I don't need your leftovers.
Leftovers!
Paul is a very desirable,
handsome, terrific guy...
Any woman would love to get her
hands on him.
Oh, she wanted you.
Until you made a complete jerk
out of yourself.
Now you owe her an apology.
Listen, I don't have to
apologize to her.
I happen to love her.
Well, I love her, too.
Oh, yeah?
Well...
You guys.
Don't you just love
happy endings.
Come in.
Ah, good evening,
doctor.
Captain?
Ah, re...Retiring
early?
Working late.
Yes, well...
I don't want to interrupt.
It wasn't important.
Merrill.
The big decisions are never
easy, are they?
You know about the Lorelei,
too?
I think there's one crew
member that doesn't and he's on
shore leave.
What would you do?
Ah-ah...that's too easy.
Doesn't it depend on what you
want out of life?
Health.
Happiness.
Love.
Success?
What is success?
Hm...
Believe me, that's something
I've been thinking about all
week.
But I think you just answered
your own question.
Hm?
Health.
Happiness.
And love.
Arthur?
I'm right here, baby.
I'm so sorry I made that
scene before.
Shh...shh.
You need sleep.
Maybe you'd be better off
without me.
Baby...
It was an accident.
It was nobody's fault.
I was so busy feeling sorry for myself,
I didn't see what was
happening to you.
And I'm sorry....
Lorna, I know I said my life
was over.
Well, I was wrong.
But my life will be over the day
that I lose you and I'm not...
I'm not going to let that
happen.
Ever.
Yes?
May I come in?
Oh, please do.
How's Mrs. Akers doing?
She's sleeping.
Adam, I want to apologize to
you.
Oh, please.
You don't have to.
I want to.
I realize I've been criticizing you for
the way you've been using your
medical training, while I have
been using mine to turn my wife
into a drug addict.
Well, we both know it's not
as simple as that.
Drug dependence is a very
complex problem.
Any drug can be abused and there
are human factors involved.
As a doctor, I shouldn't
have let it happen.
It happens, but you can
still help her.
Not only as a doctor, but as a
husband.
I'll see that she gets
the best medical treatment there is.
I know of a clinic in los
Angeles that does very good
work.
But she's gonna have to work,too.
Adam,
thank you.
Oh, look what time it is.
I hate to push you out, but I do
need my beauty sleep.
Thank you.
I'm sure you have enjoyed everything.
We've had the most beautiful weather, we've had before.
(Both talking)
Excuse me, captain.
Yes?
Mr. and Mrs. Conroy
are celebrating their
fortieth anniversary this
evening, and I took the Liberty
of saying that you'd join them
for a moment.
McCoy, if I joined
every couple celebrating their
anniversary, I'd never have a
second to myself.
Captain stubing, i'm
saving this dance just for you.
Thanks for the warning.
Herr schmidt, please
forgive captain stubing.
He's not himself.
Miss McCoy.
Really, he never behaves
like this.
He's actually a wonderful, kind,
friendly man.
You're overstepping.
Do you read me?
And everybody loves him.
Well, it's true.
He's only reacting to
the pressure that I've put on
him.
Believe me, Julie...It would
take more than this for me to
change my mind about captain
stubing.
That's what I was afraid of.
The truth is I don't want the
job.
But, sir.
The Lorelei is everybody's idea
of success.
But your idea of
success is something else?
Yes.
To me there is nothing more
successful than this ship,
and this crew.
So, if you'll excuse me, I think
I'd like to celebrate with the
conroys and boogie with Mrs...
Haskell.
Thank you.
Again.
You are fortunate to
have such a man as captain
stubing.
Now tell us something we
don't know.
Isaac, thank you.
Ah.
If it weren't for you,
I might be leaving alone.
And thank you dear Isaac,
for all your really good
advice.
And I want to thank you,
too.
Well, what for?
I dunno.
I just hate to be left out.
Bye.
Bye bye.
Adam.
Thank you for the name of the
clinic.
Oh, don't mention it.
But don't expect lorna's problem
to disappear overnight.
I don't.
And it's our problem.
And we'll solve it together.
Adam.
I'm so glad we didn't miss you.
What can I say?
We're leaving this ship with a
whole new lease on life.
Ahhh.
Did Arthur tell you.
He's going to write a book on
surgical techniques.
I want the first copy that
rolls off the presses.
Suitably autographed, of course.
Of course.
"To Adam bricker.
The boy wonder."
Never has an intern taught so
much to a chief surgeon..
That didn't want to learn."
See us again.
Thank you for sailing with us.
Auf wiedersehn,
captain.
Auf wiedersehn, herr
schmidt.
I sincerely hope you find the
right captain for the Lorelei.
Well, I found him,
and I lost him...
But I'm sure your crew will
agree that it does not show
weakness in a man to know what
he wants in life.
And when he's got it...To stick with it.
Captain stubing, I salute you.
Welcome home, sir.
Yeah, welcome home,
captain.
Thank you.
