Whoo, whoo!

Watch out, watch out.

Whoo, get out the way.

Whoo!

Whoo, whoo!

Wow!

Hey, you wanna see some skin?

Go for it, go for it.

Wait for me.

Come on, come on.

Ooh, naughty boy.

I don't think I can make it.

Yes, you can.

Ida, don't you have

to close up the shop?

The party's just beginning.

Let's go for a ride.

I can't.

I had too much to drink.

That's no excuse.

I drank more than you did.

Let's just both

rest here for a while.

Don't poop out on me, now.

Come on!

I'm too drunk.

You don't know

what you're missing.

I'll see you later.

Whoa, whoa, ho, ho.

Whee... this is fun.

Keep an eye on the store for me.

I'll be right back.

Yee-haw!

And now, I'd like to

give a few parting words

of advice to you fine

business school graduates of

northern Chicago university.

Your university has trained

you well for the

responsibilities that lie ahead.

Walk proud... fear not that

sixty two percent of you

will not be able to find jobs.

Alan, I can't believe you.

It's graduation day.

Alan Finston: I KNOW,

but this might be important.

That ninety four percent

of today's successful

business heads never

attended college.

Dave: CONGRATULATIONS, Alan.

Hi, uncle Dave.

Thanks a lot.

How was your trip out here?

It was just fine.

Last time I saw you,

you said you couldn't wait

to get out of Chicago

after graduation.

You were going to take

a year off and see the world.

Yeah, I-I guess that

was a lot of kids' stuff.

Well, anyway, that

was before I met Jane.

Uncle Dave, this is Jane.

We're gonna be married

in September.

Jane Rutledge: AT

the biltmore.

Our colors are pink and gray.

I'm, very pleased

to meet you.

You two must be

so proud of Alan.

Fran Finston: YES.

He's our pride and joy.

Lou Finston: I GUESS ONE

out of two isn't so bad.

Yes, how is Todd doing?

Have you heard from him lately?

And I spent the whole day

looking, but there's simply

nothing that's livable under

a hundred fifty thou, hon.

A hundred and fif...

No, Jane, that's...

I'm gonna ask daddy

to give you a raise.

But, Jane, I haven't even

started working for him yet.

Sylvia Rutledge: Jane,

honey your diet.

Mother!

Jane, I'm not the one

who insisted on buying a

twenty five hundred dollar

wedding dress two sizes too

small to give myself a goal.

But the wedding's

three months away.

Jane!

There's plenty of time.

Right, daddy?

Mr. Rutledge: WHATEVER

you say, Princess.

How's my future son-in-law?

Just fine... I want

to thank you again for

giving me this wonderful

graduation party, sir.

Quite all right, Alan,

but after September,

no more of this sir business.

You may call me Mr. Rutledge.

Daddy... there's something

I want to talk to you about.

Now, I'm not sure that Alan's

starting salary is realistic.

I mean, just to get by,

the minimum amount to buy a...

Princess, do you know

what my starting salary was?

Daddy, I...

Excuse me, sir,

but if I could

just say one thing.

I'm sure we'll be able

to get by just fine on

what you've offered me

to start with.

Hon, please,

now let me handle this.

But, Jane,

I want your father...

I'm thirsty.

I think I'll have a refill

too, son, if you wouldn't mind.

Well... sure.

Isn't he the cutest thing?

Can I help you?

Yes, is there an

Alan finston here?

Yeah, that's me.

Telegram, sir.

Sign here.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I hope it's good news.

"Mr. Alan finston,

"sorry to inform you

"that your aunt ida Miller

"has passed away in an

"unfortunate drowning accident.

"Advise you come to California

"for settlement of the estate.

"Richard Remington esquire."

Well, it was very

nice of you to pick me up at

the airport, Mr. Remington.

Richard Remington:

my pleasure, Alan.

After all, your aunt and I

were good friends.

Remarkable woman, crazy,

unorthodox, and not the

world's best business woman,

but, how she

loved that shop.

Is this your first time

in California?

Yes, it is.

But, I'm afraid I can

only stay a few days.

I'm starting a

new job next week.

Ooh, what a place to live.

If I were only young

and single, like you.

I'm engaged.

This was your aunt's home.

Yeah, ida was rather extravagant

with her purchases.

Yeah, I'm afraid she had a

little trouble keeping up

with her payments.

Wow!

Well, Alan, I think

I should tell you now.

Fifty one percent of

everything your aunt owned

now belongs to you.

You're kidding me?

No... she felt that with

your business education,

that you could be trusted

with the controlling interest

in her estate.

So who owns the other

forty nine percent?

Todd Finston: HOW'S IT GOING?

Todd?

Hey, little brother.

Isn't this a kick?

Hi, counselor.

Do you want a brew?

Please, don't get up.

I'd rather remember you

just as you are.

Alan, you and your, brother

are now the sole owners

of your aunt's entire estate.

Why don't you get settled

in, and I'll come back in a

couple of hours and show you

the rest of her holdings.

Thank you.

You.

Come on, man...

I'll help you unpack.

I got in yesterday.

So you still majoring

in accounting?

Todd, I graduated

a few days ago.

I was going

to send you a card.

Aunt ida's bedroom.

Remember the summer she stayed

with us, when mom and dad

were on vacation.

Yeah, Todd, I remember it.

It took me four years of

psychotherapy to get over it.

That's probably why she

left everything to us.

All right, let's hit

the beach.

Same old Todd.

Same old Alan.

So tell me, Todd, what

have you been up to lately?

Well, I was up

in Seattle for a while.

I finally found a backer for

my solar powered hotdog stands.

Then it rained for

sixty days in a row.

The guy backed out,

so I've just been traveling

around, staying with friends.

How about you?

Todd, I have taken the most

important step of my life.

You finally got up the nerve

to ask a girl out on a date.

Yeah, and I'm

getting married to her.

You're kidding?

No, really, I'm engaged.

Her name is Jane.

Here, look I-I have

a picture of her.

It all happened so fast.

We met on a blind date,

and the next thing you

know, I'm meeting her parents.

You know, it's like

Jane says though,

"when you're sure, why wait?"

But, Alan, it's...

And, Todd, I'd really

be honored, if you'd

be my best man.

You really love her.

Yeah.

Um, sure... sure.

Whoo!

Pick me up.

Here it goes.

You see that?

Duh.

Well, here we are.

I think you boys may find

this place rather amusing.

Coasting through

another beautiful day,

here at k-g-n-a.

Well, fellas,

this is all yours.

Mister r., I think I've

found my calling in life.

Really... and I had you

figured for a brain surgeon.

Hi, Mr. Remington.

Hello, girls.

Hi.

Hey, gentlemen, I want you

to meet your new sales force:

Kathy, Cindy.

Cindy: HI.

And Ronnie.

Ronnie: HI.

Hey, girls, these

are the new owners:

Alan and Todd finston.

They're ida's two nephews.

Perhaps she mentioned

them to you.

Yes, she did.

Kathy: WHICH ONE

of you two is Todd?

I am.

Mr. Remington, I'd like

to look over the store's lease

as soon as possible.

Of course, Alan.

Why don't you meet me at

the office tomorrow morning,

and we can go over

everything then.

If you have to,

you can bring him.

That's-that's okay.

Alan's the business man

in the family.

No kidding.

See you tomorrow, Alan.

Good-bye, everyone.

Todd, would you mind...

Todd?

Would you mind holding this end

at the corner of the floor,

over there, please.

Sure.

We have to measure the store.

Hi.

Aah!

What a life!

You and me, living here

running a bikini shop.

It's gonna be great.

Of course, you and Jane

can have aunt ida's bedroom.

I'll give you guys your privacy.

Here, Todd, take a look

at this figure.

Well, what about it?

Well, based on some

ballpark estimations,

this is how much you and I

will divide when we sell

the bikini store and the house.

Sell them, are you nuts?

It's going to be so much

more fun staying right here.

Fun?

I'm a college graduate

now, Todd.

I have my future all planned.

I had plenty of fun in college.

I'll bet.

Look, anyway,

aunt ida left me the

controlling interest, Todd.

She knew she could trust me

to do what was best for us.

Best for you, you mean.

As for me, it was ordain

that I live out the rest

of my days, right here.

It's my destiny.

Well, you can live out

your destiny for about a week,

Todd, 'cause that's how long

it's gonna take me to get

everything taken care of.

It's, it's

almost opening time.

Don't you, girls,

think you should be

getting dressed for work?

They are dressed

for work, Alan.

Show him, girls.

Todd.

Alan, you can't expect to

sell the merchandise, unless

the customer knows what it

looks like when it's on.

I don't have time

to argue with you, Todd.

I have to go over

aunt ida's books.

All finished, young man.

Got to hand it to you.

It's a very clever idea of

yours, installing a two-way

mirror for security.

Too much shop lifting

among kids these days.

That's right.

You can't be too careful.

So keep it right here

on k-t-n-e Santa Monica.

Hello... welcome to

ida's bikini shop.

Yesiree, the old size five rack.

Yeah, you certainly

are a size five.

That's some mighty fine

article of swimwear

you've chosen there.

However, I think you might

find some of our other suits

to be equally well crafted.

Yup, yup, here it is.

The good old dressing room.

I hope you'll

find it comfortable.

This new mirror,

we recently had installed,

is for your convenience.

If you'll excuse me,

I'll, I'll just...

I'll be, I'll be going.

I can't believe it, man.

This is going to be so great.

I'm just glad that aunt ida

is not around to see this.

Alan, if I ever get married,

it's gonna be to a size five.

Todd, you should be

ashamed of yourself.

I am... I'm ashamed.

I'm ashamed... sure.

May I help

you find something?

I need a new bathing suit.

How about this?

You must be crazy.

Honey, I want to

get sun tanned.

Get out of my way.

My god!

I'm going out there,

and see if she needs any help.

Aaah!

In case you're interested, Todd,

I finished going over aunt ida's

financial records last night.

Yeah.

Whoo.

Seems the bikini shop's

been doing a decent vine

of business, but it's been

losing money all these years.

Why is that?

Aunt ida spent much more

on her extravagant promotions

and her parties than

she took in from sales.

She had a lot of fun,

but she didn't know

how to run a business.

Can I borrow your hair dryer?

Definitely.

So, anyway, she put all

her divorce settlement money

into the store.

When that ran out, she

re-mortgaged the house

to the hill, just to

keep the business going.

Well, what can we do?

What it means, Todd,

is that we're gonna have

to work awfully hard

to sell the store.

You see, it's gotta be turned

into a profit making business

in order to attract a buyer.

Now I figure, it'll take

a couple of weeks to get

everything taken care of.

In the meantime,

we can just live here.

Now you, Todd, can either

help me out or not.

It's up to you.

No offense, Alan,

but I think living with you

is gonna drive me crazy.

I said no offense.

Hi, Ronnie.

Hi, Ronnie.

Hi.

How was your cooking class?

Not so good.

Yeah, the teacher

gave us a "d" on our project,

just because we were

trying to be creative.

What did you make?

Pineapple inside out cake.

You want to taste?

Um, that looks really

delicious, but I just ate.

Maybe Alan and Todd

would like some.

I bet Todd will.

I think he's real cute.

Yeah, but Alan's

kind of a nerd.

You know, he's so

Mr. Business man.

I think he's really nice.

Can't help it if he's smart.

Yeah, well, if he's so smart,

then how come he's

getting married so young?

God, I can't imagine

being married at our age.

Yeah.

He's engaged?

Yeah, you didn't know?

No, I didn't.

Hey, doesn't he

need to sign this?

No, let's see.

They're not ready yet.

Yeah.

So what else is new?

Yeah.

But, Jane I don't have

a favorite style of cumberbund.

Look... the wedding

isn't until September.

Couldn't you just pick one out

for me, and I'll look at it

when I get back?

All right.

But I wish you could

come home sooner.

Daddy says his company has

connections in California,

and if you want, he can

help you sell the store.

Jane, I'd really like

to do this on my own.

But I'll be home

as soon as I can.

You better be.

Talk to you tomorrow?

Sure.

Kissy, kissy, kiss.

Um, kissy, kissy, kiss.

Alan, you are in luck, man.

I've been doing

some brainstorming.

I've come up with

some great new ideas

for improving business.

Well, I'm really glad you

wanna help, Todd, but I've

come up with my own ideas.

Less expensive merchandise,

no free gift wrapping,

longer hours?

Alan, didn't they teach you

anything about human beings

in college?

People wanna have fun.

This woman's name is

Berta hilgard, and I think

we stand a good chance

at selling her the store.

She's had no experience

in retail, but she's always

dreamed of owning a shop

on the boardwalk.

Let's hope it works out.

Thanks a lot for

your help, Mr. Remington.

Thank you... it's been

a pleasure serving you.

Thanks.

Well, look who's dressed

like a grown-up today.

Thanks a lot for

dressing up, Todd.

I really appreciate it.

No problem.

Great.

Berta Hilgard: SOL,

isn't this marvelous?

Sol: MARVELOUS.

Mrs. Hilgard, welcome

to ida's bikini shop.

I'm Richard Remington, and

this is Alan and Todd finston,

the store owners.

It's a pleasure

meeting all of you.

This is my attorney, sol levine.

Sol.

How do you do?

Nice to meet you.

Mrs. Hilgard,

I've heard so much about you.

I'm so pleased to meet you.

What a darling look,

sol?

Darling, darling.

May we look around?

Yes, yes!

Absolutely... feel free.

Charming.

Charming?

Yeah, charming.

Sol, look.

Isn't this lovely?

It's interesting.

Listen, I really think we

wanna examine the books now.

Books, sol, books.

I don't think that's necessary.

They're doing excellent

business here.

Yo!

I got a delivery here from

double exposure swimwear.

I'll take that.

Great.

Hey...

Yes?

I need a check.

It's a COD.

Wait a minute.

Are you trying to tell me

that we don't have credit?

Credit?

Ida's bikini shop?

How are you?

Thanks a lot.

Sure.

Sol, maybe we better

look at the books.

Don't tell me

those were books.

Because there were no books.

It was a disaster.

I just wanted to get

into the clothing business,

like my best friend, sissy.

Come on!

These people should

pray for a fire.

Sol!

The worst thing I've

ever seen in my life.

Listen... couldn't you

use a good tax write off?

We can talk price.

Hey, let's do business.

Hey, Alan.

How would you like to make

five hundred extra bucks,

this month, that we can put

back into the business?

Sure, Todd, how?

Kathy and Cindy and Ronnie

were telling me how

their rent just went up.

So I thought, since we had

so much extra room,

we could just...

They could move in.

Wait a minute, Todd.

There is no way they

can move in here.

Now, first of all,

it's hard enough just

you and I getting along.

Secondly, well, how do you think

Jane would like it if she knew

I was living with three girls.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Okay.

There's just

one problem, though.

What's that, Todd?

I already asked them.

All right!

Welcome!

You guys are so nice.

It's gonna be so much fun.

Ronnie will be here

in a little while.

Well, I'll take your

stuff down to your rooms.

They happen to be

right next to mine.

Hey, you guys make plans

for dinner yet?

Well, no, we haven't.

We'll make it.

Yeah, we're gourmet cooks.

Come on, Kathy.

See, al, our own

private chefs.

I hope you guys like

tuna sandwich casserole.

Oops!

Hey, just looking

for the bags.

Maybe just a little

more of the crust.

This stuff is great,

but I've never had

tuna sandwich casserole made

with wonder bread before.

And mayonnaise.

That's our secret recipe.

Well, who feels like dancing?

I do.

Yeah, and there's this

new place that opened up

on venice boulevard.

Um, I think

I'll pass tonight.

Me, too.

I never dance on a full stomach.

Well, come on, Cindy.

Let's go get our stuff.

Yeah.

Okay, I'll see

you guys later.

Um, Alan, if you're

not gonna finish that.

Be my guest.

Hey, Kathy,

what's this place like?

I don't want to be over dressed.

Should we get rid

of the evidence?

Definitely.

You know, I think it's nice

you know what you want to do

so early in your life.

Thank you... you know,

you're the first person

that said that since

I have been out here.

I mean, you obviously

already found the right girl.

Obviously.

And a college education

is a real asset.

I'm going to college part-time.

You are?

I didn't know that.

What are you studying?

Well, right now,

I am studying art.

But I'm trying to get

into the fashion institute.

I have this dream that I'm

gonna be a fashion designer.

No kidding... that's great.

Do you have any designs yet?

Only about a thousand.

Nice.

And I experiment on

the machine in the back of the

shop whenever I get the chance.

Well, that's great.

I'd like to see some of

your designs sometime,

if-if you don't mind.

Thanks, but I never

show my work to anyone.

I guess... I'm afraid

they'll say it's no good.

Yeah, but you'll never

know, unless you try.

Yeah, I know.

Well, I guess this

is the last of it.

Yeah.

Will you excuse me, please?

I think I'll just go

take a jog on the beach

before I go to bed.

Well, you go ahead.

I have a lot of work to do.

Hello.

Mr. Remington.

Hello... this is Alan finston.

Do you have a minute to go

over some figures with me?

Sure.

Thanks.

This is the operator.

I have an emergency phone call

for Alan finston

from Jane Rutledge.

Will you release?

I guess I will, operator.

Thank you.

Mr. Remington, I better

get back to you.

Of course.

Thank you.

Jane?

Alan!

Jane, honey, nice and slowly.

Take it easy.

Now, tell me what's wrong.

It's the photographer,

Jay Samuels!

He's already booked for

the night of our wedding!

Jane that's not

the end of the world.

We-we can get

another photographer.

But he's the best!

He shot my brother's wedding,

and he always promised

that he'd do mine!

Well, Jane, I...

If it means that much to you,

I guess we could always change

the date of the wedding.

I already tried that, and

then the caterer can't make it.

And we have to have that.

He's the only one

that makes those cute

little watermelon sculptures.

Janie.

Mother, I'm on the phone!

Then why are you

talking in the kitchen?

Jane, are you snacking?

Mother, get off the phone

right this instant!

Alan, are you still there?

I had the worst day today.

Alan, what do you think

about the melons?

For the food sculpture, Alan?

What do you think?

Alan, I wish

you'd pay attention... I asked

you, when do you think...

Yes, I do, and watermelon

look too christmasy together.

Jane, do you think

we can discuss this

some other time?

I'm really tired.

Okay.

Kissy, kissy, kiss.

Same to you.

Alan!

Kissy, kissy, kiss.

Kissy, kissy, kiss.

My fiancée.

How nice... does she

call you every night?

It seems like it.

You two must have a very

trusting relationship.

I mean, for her to let you

have three girls staying here.

Yes, very trusting.

Come on, girls.

Let's get started.

Here.

This is gonna be great.

Todd, don't you think

you should have

told Alan about this?

Nah, I want to surprise him.

Wait till he see's what kind

of business this place can do.

Yeah.

Well, Mr. and Mrs. Bender,

we're certainly happy that

you're going with us

to see our little store.

I'm sure that you will find it

one of the most charming

retail establishments on

the market... an ideal situation

for a happily married

couple like you.

Hey, don't forget.

You said we'll get to sit in

the front row for helping you.

Don't you guys forget

you promised to keep

your hands to yourselves

during the contest.

Yeah.

Kathy, Kathy!

What?

Come on, you got to hurry up.

There are a lot of girls.

I'm working as fast as I can.

This suit will show off

your tan lines.

Loraine Bender: FIX YOUR TIE.

Julius Bender: YES, DEAR.

Sit up.

I'm sorry.

Tell me, Mr. Bender,

what sort of qualities are

you looking for in the shop?

Well, I was thinking...

The main thing we're

looking for is an atmosphere

that is peaceful and quiet.

Peaceful and quiet.

Well, then, I'm sure

ida's bikini shop is the

ideal situation for you.

Isn't that right, Alan?

Yes, you've never seen

a more peaceful

and quiet shop.

We want skin!

We want skin!

We want skin!

We want skin!

All right!

Hey, how's it going, folks?

Hey, all right... let's party!

We're having some fun, now.

We want girls!

We want girls!

We want girls!

Okay, I'm glad to see that

everyone is so enthusiastic.

Now on behalf of

ida's bikini shop,

I'd like to welcome you all

to the sexiest tan contest.

Well, I see we still have

a few minutes here

before 12 o'clock.

So if I may, I'd like to

tell you a little bit

about our humble establishment.

It was founded

way back when in 1960...

On the other hand,

there is no reason that we

have to wait until exactly noon

to get the whole thing started.

So, would you welcome, please,

contestant number one,

miss sharene ambers.

Come on out here.

Sensational.

Well, listen...

Okay, that's a very nice

tan you've got there.

But sharene, before we let

our audience vote on you,

I'm sure they'd like to know

just a little bit about you.

Am I right?

Okay... what are

your goals in life?

I don't know.

Okay... good answer, okay.

Let's here it for

contestant number one.

Beautiful.

How about introducing

contestant number two.

And what is

your name, sweetheart?

Hi... I'm Linda Ryan.

Hey, I wouldn't exactly

say you're gonna make a

million dollars out of the

business, but you won't find

a more restful, peaceful place

than which to spend your time.

Beautiful salt air, lovely

sunshine... an ideal situation

for a happily married

couple like you.

I want a bikini like

the second contestant's wearing.

Okay... hey, Ronnie,

another sling shot.

Size seven.

I want a bikini, too.

Unbelievable... let's hear it.

Now, Kathleen, it seems to me,

you have an unfair

advantage here.

But that's okay.

Would you welcome, please,

contestant number four,

miss Margie hill.

Are we here?

No, we're still home.

Why don't we, walk

around to the front so that

you can get a feel of

the peace and Serenity

of the shop?

I wonder where that

music's coming from.

Margie, it's-it's gonna

be kinda hard to judge you.

You don't seem to have

any tan lines at all.

Well, that's because I

sunbathe a natural.

No.

Whoa!

Will you come on?

What's that?

We'll take it-we'll take it.

I think we've got a winner.

Ladies and gentlemen,

here comes Alan finston,

the principle owner of

ida's bikini shop, and

he's the man responsible

for today's event.

Why don't you let him know

how you like it so far?

Alan, your brother was

just trying to impress you.

Just relax and enjoy

yourself for once.

Take it all off.

Join the party.

Come on... join the party.

Yeah!

I'm with the show!

Okay, everybody,

now this is a public beach.

We're going to have to shut this

whole thing down, right now.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute... it's okay.

We'll continue the party

later tonight.

All right!

At our house,

1200 ocean beach drive.

Todd, I need one bloody Mary,

one Tequila sunrise,

and a Tom Collins.

Comin' up.

And, it's on.

And I usually use

number six for my face.

Now, I start with number four

for my arms, and if I don't

get too burned, I move

down to number two.

You don't use sunblock, do you?

I once broke up with a guy

because he used sunblock.

Cindy, have you seen

Ronnie anywhere?

Well, I think she's upstairs.

Margie, this is Cindy.

She uses number eight.

You do?

I use number eight, but only

when it's really bright outside.

It's too hot, and I don't

wanna burn my face.

You have a great tan.

What else do you use?

Hello... what?

I can't hear you!

What do you mean who's this?

Who's this?

Come on!

Whoa!

Hors d'oeuvres?

Thanks.

What is this?

Pork tar-tar.

Ew!

Come on, the sumo

wrestling finals are on.

Whoa.

I didn't know aunt ida

had it in her.

All right, this is it.

Whoa.

She always said she wanted

to go around the world.

All right, this is

the last button.

This has got to be it.

Aunt ida.

Remington.

Can I join you?

God.

Don't let me wake up this time.

Alan, um, I think

you're getting drunk.

Maybe so,

but while I am,

I wanna tell you something.

I think I'm gonna be sorry

when I sell the store.

I mean, you probably

wouldn't believe this,

but I have had a lot of fun

these past few weeks.

I even started to enjoy

being around Todd.

I'm really gonna miss

working with you girls.

We're gonna

miss you guys, too.

Look, Ronnie, there's

something I wanna say to you.

Well, it's...

Well, it's just this.

Alan, Alan, what's wrong?

Alan, Alan, what do you...

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

Hi, Jane.

Alan, what's going on here?

I came out here tonight

because I thought

you might be lonely.

Well, this is sort

of a promotion for the store.

Ronnie, this is Jane,

my fiancée.

Jane, this is Ronnie.

She works in the store.

Hi.

I'm gonna leave you two alone.

I'm just gonna up

to my room and change.

You live here?

I thought you knew.

No, I didn't!

Well, at least you

have your own bedroom.

No... I share it

with the other two girls.

I-I-I can't just tell them

to leave tonight, Jane.

They gave up their apartment.

Okay fine, then we'll

just go to a hotel.

Hey al, what's goin' on?

Jane, this is

my brother, Todd.

Todd, this is my fiancée, Jane.

Hi, Jane.

Welcome to the family.

Nice girl.

And another shrimp cocktail

for the lady.

So, daddy said to tell you

that you drive a hard bargain,

but you could have your first

raise after three months, hon.

But, Jane, I didn't

even ask for a raise.

Alan, just take

what's coming to you anyway.

I haven't told you what

the best new is yet.

What's that?

We now have a beautiful

new home to move into

right after the wedding.

It's got tennis courts, a pool,

maid service, and it's not

gonna cost us a penny.

You don't mean...

My parents guest house.

Alan you're always

telling me to be more

practical, and daddy says

we can live there

for our first year.

It's gonna be so much fun,

Alan, and we can have dinner

with my parents every night.

Daddy told me

to tell you that he wants

to teach you tennis.

Jane, I-I really don't

think that moving in with...

All the hard work is

gonna be the decorating.

What do you think

about aqua, Alan?

Jane, honey, you've been

talking all through dinner,

but now I'd like to say

something to you.

What, Alan?

Well... now I know that

we've had our future planned

for a long time,

but you should see how

great it is living out here.

It's-it's so relaxing,

having a place on the beach,

and I think that

if you gave it a chance,

you'd really enjoy it, too.

What are you saying, Alan?

Well-well-well, just this.

We could get married,

and then live out here.

I really enjoy running

my own store, and you could

become involved, too.

It may not be a whole lot

of money at first,

but after a while...

I cant believe

what you're saying.

I've worked so hard to make

these plans for us, and now

you wanna throw it all away

on the bikini store.

I think you care more about

those show off sales girls than

you do about anything else.

No, no, Jane,

that's not it, really.

I've done everything

I can to make you happy.

I know that.

I-I-I know, Jane.

Promise me you'll sell

the store right away?

God!

Excuse me, sir.

Would you like to see

the dessert cart?

No, not now.

Maybe we'll just take a look.

Alan?

Was it good for you?

Yeah, Jane, it was.

Now, aren't you glad you

decided to sell that store?

Sure I am.

I still feel nauseous

from last night.

Why'd you let me eat

so much, Alan?

I'm sorry you're not

feeling very well, Jane.

Maybe you should just

take it easy today.

I have a lot of things to

take care of at the store.

No, you don't.

It is my first time

in California.

You're takin' me

sight-seein', hon.

But, Jane,

if you're not feeling...

I wanna go sightseeing.

You're not gonna make me

cry again, are you?

No, no, you're right.

Let's go sightseeing.

Where would you

like to go, Jane?

Disneyland?

No, rodeo drive.

Now, I'm gonna

take a shower, hon.

Would you be a dear

and call room service?

I'd like some

blueberry pancakes.

Jane, you asked me to

help you stay on your diet.

I can't shop

on an empty stomach.

I'll start my diet

right after breakfast.

Sure you wanna wait,

Mr. Remington?

Yes, yes.

Okay, see you later.

Right.

Hi.

Jane and I were out shopping.

I came as soon as I could.

What's up?

Alan, I think we have an

excellent chance for a sale.

No kidding.

Who's the buyer?

Well, his name

is Eric Greene.

I don't know anything about

him except that he has a lot

of money, and he's willing

to pay cash.

He's coming by to see the place

first thing in the morning,

so I had the girls clean it up.

Yeah... great idea.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Remington.

You bet.

See you tomorrow.

Singing: TINY BUBBLES

aloha, Mr. R.

Aloha means "hello"

and "goodbye!"

Goodbye!

Singing: FROM Hawaii

pure cane sugar

now you say

pure cane sugar from Hawaii

Todd, what are you doing?

We're talking very high

concept marketing strategy

for tomorrow.

Inside one of these balloons

is a free trip to Hawaii, man.

Buy a bikini, pop a balloon.

Todd, this is ridiculous.

We just had the place

straightened up.

Mr. Remington found a buyer.

Wait a minute... I thought

you were beginning to like

what we had going on here.

Todd, I never said I

wasn't gonna sell the store.

It's Jane, isn't it?

Alan, are you gonna let

the girl run your life?

No-no-no... no one runs

my life, Todd, including you.

Now, why don't you just get

rid of this mess you just

made, okay, because I say

we're selling the store.

Well, I say we're not

selling the store.

I think we should...

Goddamnit, Todd, it doesn't

matter what you think.

It never has mattered.

I own 51%

of this store, Todd.

I guess I'd

forgotten about that.

Do whatever you want.

They owe me my share in Hawaii.

Hey, look out.

Hey, Mr. Greene.

I'm Richard Remington,

we've talked on the phone.

Eric Greene: CHARMED.

Yes!

This is Alan finston,

the principle owner,

in case you have any

special questions.

Hello.

If you'd like to,

feel free to look around.

That won't be necessary.

The escrow papers, please.

I'm ready to sign.

Yes.

I have them right here.

Mr. Greene, before you

decide, don't you think you

wanna look over the stock

a little bit?

No, thank you.

Well, the books.

Don't you think you

better check those books?

I'm not concerned with

your books, Mr. Finston.

Everything seems

to be okay here.

So, Mr. Greene, have you

always been involved in retail?

Retail?

I find it utterly repugnant.

No, I'm going to make a few

structural changes to this

place, and then turn it into

recruitment and meditation

center for my organization...

The holistic church

of truth and tranquility.

We are offering

an alternative life-style

for young people seeking

inner peace through mediation,

prayer, and forfeiture

of all worldly possessions.

Perhaps you and the rest of

your staff might be interested

in joining our church.

You may find yourself seeking

a new direction in life,

now that you will be unemployed.

Good day.

Mr. Greene, wait a minute.

I'm afraid I've changed my mind.

I beg your pardon?

This store is not for sale.

Mr. Finston,

you've already sold it.

I own it now.

Well, then I want

to buy it back.

Alan finston, just what...

Shut up, Jane!

Mr. Greene, how 'bout it?

Mr. Finston, I'm a

reasonable man and not

without sentiment.

There is another location

available up the street

which may suit our needs.

You know, I think I'm gonna

let you buy your store back.

You are?

Yes, and I estimate

the place is worth $66,000.

But that's $6,000 more

than you paid for it.

Precisely, and I'll expect

the 6,000 in cash two weeks from

today, or there's no sale.

Good day.

Wow, Alan, you were great.

But we can't possibly

raise $6,000 in two weeks.

Yes, we can.

We'll find a way.

Alan finston,

what's come over you?

If you intend to go

through with this idiocy,

you and I are through.

Jane... you're right.

You and I are through.

Wow, Alan, what made

you decide to do that?

I don't know.

I guess I just hate aqua.

Never mind... point is,

I love this store,

and I love all of you.

And I intend to fight

to keep what we have.

We're gonna have to work

together night and day

to pull this off.

Right!

Right!

I just wish I knew

where to reach Todd.

Did you mail

the invitations, dear?

Yes, on the way home,

all 300 of them.

Good.

Now, who are we going

to seat at the head table?

Hello?

Daddy!

Princess?

Princess, what is it?

Well, this is all we have.

Yeah.

I've got it.

We have a giant sale.

It'll be the biggest

promotion this store

has ever had.

Hey, Todd.

What happened to you?

The Honolulu airport

was snowed in.

Look, Todd.

I know I haven't given you

much of a chance since I got

out here, but if you just

give me another chance,

I'd like to see what we can

accomplish when we join forces.

Okay?

Sure, you got it.

And I just know

it's all because of

that stupid bikini store.

Son of a bitch... you know

what I've spent already

on the catering alone?

Isn't there something

you can do, dear?

You have connections

in California.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, promotions

cost money.

We barely made a profit

on that suntan contest.

Do you know how many

bikinis we'd have to sell

to make $6,000?

I'll go get the coffee.

We don't even have enough

bikinis in stock to bring

in that kind of money.

We could order more?

No, I'm afraid not.

We don't have any credit,

and we don't have the cash.

The house?

Aunt ida worked it

to the hill, just to keep

the business going.

Mr. Remington?

He stopped returning

my calls.

Hey-hey.

What?

All we need is a

fantastic new line of bikinis

that everybody will wanna buy,

that won't cost us a dime.

Hey, if only

one of us knew how to...

Ronnie!

What?!

You are gonna design

our new line of bikinis.

But I don't know if I can.

Well, Ronnie, I think

it's time you found out.

But you must find it.

One of your sales girls

said she put it away for me.

I know, I'm looking.

How are you supposed

to tie this?

I'm not sure.

Wait for one minute while I...

Don't you have

any tops with dart?

Darts?

This is ridiculous!

Where are your

sales girls, anyway?

No, it's still not right.

It's okay, Ronnie.

You'll think of something.

Yeah, we still have time.

Come in.

I thought this day

would never end.

How'd it go in here?

Well, you can't rush

these things, you know.

Yeah, I'm a lousy model.

Can't even stand still.

Thanks, but it's my fault.

I haven't come up with a thing.

Wait till you guys see this.

We're all set.

This hospital supply house

is going out of business.

I got all this stuff...

For almost nothing.

Surgical gowns,

dozens of them.

There must be hundreds of

yards of material in here.

We can use it to

make the bikinis.

Look at this... surgical thread,

needles, scissors...

Everything we need.

Well, I had to spend

the rest of our money,

but from now on, these bikinis

are gonna be 100% profit.

What's with him?

Todd, what are you gonna do

with all this green stuff?

Yeah, what kind of

a look would that be?

The latest in

high fashion hospital.

The coolest.

I got it.

What?

Attention... get set for ida's

bikini shop fashion preview.

The look this summer

is military.

So look out because the troops

have landed on the beach.

I never wanted to register

for the draft.

Where do I enlist?

Fantastic, you did it.

They were absolutely fantastic.

Unbelievable.

Yeah.

Just remember, you guys,

we have to sell 150 of these

by a week from Saturday.

Let's think about

that in the morning.

I'm going to bed.

Yeah, me, too.

Can I come with you?

We can practice

military maneuvers.

I know some great war games.

Wanna see my bayonet tricks?

I'm really proud of you.

I've been really proud of

you, too, these past few weeks.

Hey, Alan.

Todd.

I'm sorry... I'm too busy.

Look at this...

At the rate we're going,

we're gonna be lucky to

finish these bikinis by

next Friday, all right?

Right.

Well, that gives us just

one day for your big sale.

How are we gonna sell 150

bathing suits in one day?

Don't worry, we can do it.

This is gonna be the biggest

beach party anybody

around here has ever seen.

I don't know, Todd.

If this is another excuse

for one of your big parties.

Hey, I thought we were

working together now?

You're right, we are.

Besides, it is a good

excuse to have a party.

Just kidding.

And now they're making

their own bikinis in the store,

so they can raise $6,000.

I have a client out here

who holds a seat on

the planning commission.

I think he'll be able

to help us.

Don't you worry, Princess.

Alan is going to marry you.

I don't even

wanna marry him anymore.

I just wanna ruin his life.

Whoa, the jungle look.

Yeah.

Hey.

Here... put this on.

Marshal's office.

You're being cited for

a zoning violation.

All right, step

over here, guys.

What?

We have a cease

and assist order.

Not more manufacturing

on the premise.

What?!

Joey, wanna give me

a hand with these?

No, you can't take these.

Come on.

We were instructed to

impound these until your

SCHEDULED HEARING ON July 19th.

That-that-that's

two weeks away.

Hey, you got

a real smart kid here.

Another stinkin' sweat shop.

Come on, Joe.

Okay, look, we still

got a week, right?

So, we'll stay right here,

and we'll sew as many

bikinis as we can by hand.

But we won't be able

to get half as many done

as we could have.

Well, that's all right.

We'll promote the fact

that they're hand sewn,

and we'll double the prices.

I just wish you

two knew how to sew.

Tell 'em, Alan.

Todd.

Tell us what?

Tell us what?

In high school, I got

an "a" in home economics.

He was tops in his class

at sewing.

Okay, Betsy Ross,

get to work.

But, Todd and I

have a lot to do this afternoon.

Don't worry... I'll take

care of the promotion, and

getting everything ready

for the sale.

Todd, there's-there's

much too much labor involved for

you to handle it by yourself.

No problem.

I got it all arranged.

Okay, man, we're ready.

What do we do first?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

How'd you get them to help?

I made 'em an offer

they couldn't refuse.

Hi.

This is great!

Welcome to the front lines.

Nice job!

This is for you.

Thank you!

All right, guys, let's do it.

Attention... the look this

summer is military, so watch

out 'cause the troops

have landed on the beach.

Daddy, we still have

two hours to get to the airport.

Can't we go by and watch them

close the shop down?

Okay, Princess,

whatever you want.

Can I help you?

That one's so cute on you.

I love it.

Thanks a lot.

Have a good day.

Gentlemen, welcome.

Remember, peeping is a

privilege, not a right.

Please remain seated at all

times, keep your hands

at your sides.

If you need oxygen,

a mask will fall from

the console above your head.

Thank you... have a nice day.

Hey, thanks, man.

We'll work for

you dudes anytime.

Anything to further the

education of young Americans.

Thanks again.

What's going on out there?

Daddy, careful,

it's my new dress.

I know that.

I just shelled out

eight hundred bucks for it.

Thank you very much.

Thank you... we'd like to

direct your attention to

the obstacle course.

Daddy!

Come on!

All right, girls,

on your Mark, get set...

One, two, three,

six, seven, eight.

All right, I want everybody

to stop what they're

doing right now.

I want all you customers

to step outside the store.

Come on, back there.

Let's go.

Move it-move it-move it.

Come on, let's go.

Step-step-step.

Move it.

Come on, what is this?

Come on... all right.

Are you Alan finston?

Yes, I am.

Do you have a permit to

promote the sale of merchandise

on a public beach?

I'm not sure.

I mean, I guess we don't.

Well, in that case, I'm gonna

have to shut this sale down.

No, come on.

Hey, baby, how's it goin'?

That dress cost me more

than you make in a month.

Now you catch

those little bastards.

Last chance to buy a

camouflage bikini... hurry up.

Come on.

And now they've humiliated me.

Wait-wait... don't buy this.

You don't really want this,

do you?

Thank you.

So long.

Wait... that looks

terrible on you.

Hey.

I'll give you $200

not to buy this suit.

Back off, bitch!

There you go, bye-bye.

Okay, kid, end of the line.

There... now let's go back

and stop that sale.

5,870, 5,900...

And 20.

No... wait a minute.

I-I-I don't understand.

Neither do I.

Our agreement was for $6,000

and not a penny less.

I know that, but we sold out.

Maybe I miscounted.

Alan, look.

Miss if you don't want that

suit, I'd like to buy it.

I want it, all right.

Jane, we need that bikini.

I beg of you, Jane.

Just please make

a deal with us, okay?

We can still work this out.

All right, look, Jane,

whatever you do, for god sakes,

please, don't rip it, Jane,

because if you do...

Then you're gonna have

to pay for it.

Isn't that right, officer?

Ha... that's right.

Daddy?!

Now, listen here, officer.

No, you listen

to me, daddy warbucks.

I said, pay up.

Pay him.

Excuse me.

Mr. Greene, your money.

Mr. Finston, your contract.

Art.

Yeah, we did it!

Whoo!

Aw, shit.

Would you like a bag

for that?

Come on, daddy.

This comes out of

your allowance, Princess.

That dress, too... come on.

Excuse me... may I join you?

Take a number.

Okay, girls, this is

the final contest of the day.

The winner will receive

a $500 gift certificate

to ida's bikini shop.

But I want everyone

to keep in mind that you

are all winners,

simply for being here today.

Now, I wanna see a good,

clean race out there.

No bumping, no bare peaking

at your neighbors paper,

and if you wish to pass,

please do so on the left.

Okay, it's time to get wet.

Are you ready?

Todd, I just read

the invoice from that

surgical supply house.

On your Mark...

So?

The thread,

the surgical thread we used

to sew the bikinis...

Get set...

What about it?

It's for dissolving

stitches, Todd!

I know!

No!
