Love,

exciting and new.

Come aboard,

we're expecting you.

Love,

life's sweetest reward.

Let it flow,

it floats back to you.

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.

Yes, love

Welcome aboard,

it's love.

Good afternoon, ladies and

gentlemen, and welcome aboard.

This is your Captain speaking.

As a point of special interest,

during this cruise, we will be

selecting a young lady who will

serve as 'Ambassadress-At-Large"

for the cruise line for one
year.

This lovely lady will be one of

five beautiful models who will

be joining us on our three-day

cruise to Mexico.

All: Hello, hi, welcome.

Wait, wait, here,

wait......Ladies, ladies,

just....just set it right there.

How do you do?

How do you do?

I'm Waldo Linden from head

office.

I will be taking care of these

ladies while they're on board.

It's a pleasure to meet...

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh......You may look, but don't

touch.

Welcome aboard, Mr.Linden.

I'm Captain Stubing.

Ah, Captain.

A pleasure to meet you.

Thank you.

I understand that you've agreed

to be the Master of ceremonies

for our competetion

Um, I only hope it won't be

too much of an imposition

on your time.

Well, it's just part of my job.

Oh, excuse me.

Allow me to introduce our young
women,

each an example of looks,

talent and brains.

This here's Rita....

Hello...

How nice to meet you.

And Susie...

Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Teresa...

Si....

Hello.

Alma...

Hello.

Jeanette....

Good grief, we've lost Jeanette.

I'll get her.

It's my ship.

Hi..

Oh, oh....oooo, this

this is so exciting.

I've only been on this ship two

minutes and I've already won

something.

What?

The booby prize?

Well, you see, I went down

the wrong gangway and I end up

in the engine room, and the boys

down there voted me

"Most Likely To.."

Most Likely To What?

They didn't say.

Jeannette, you're going to be

the death of me.

What a way to go.

Robin Brant.

Ah, Miss Brant.

Yes.

You're in room one-oh eight on

the Promenade Deck.

That's right up these stairs and

to the right.

Thank you.

Hm-hm.

Smith.

Jim Smith.

Yes, Mr.Smith you are in cabin

one-sixteen on the Promenade

Deck.

That's right up those stairs.

Thank you.

You'd think he'd come up

with something a little more

imaginative than Smith.

Pardon me?

J.P.Whitcomb, the congresman.

You mean the one who....?

The one whose wife is divorcing

him because of the chorus girl.

Oh, you know, I heard the

House of Representatives is

considering impeaching him.

Yeah.

His wife's throwing him out of

the house, and the House is

throwing him out of the House.

He looks like a nice guy.

I feel sorry for him.

Well, you're the only one

in the whole world who does.

Where can I make a phone call?

In your cabin, but the phones

aren't operative until we

leave port.

Oh, okay.

Oh, excuse me, your seating for
dinner?

Oh, Mr. Smith's table will be

just terrific.

Hoist the anchor without fear.

Virgil Gibson is here.

Well, Mr.Gibson.

Welcome aboard.

That's it?

Ain't you gonna pipe me aboard?

Oh, we're sorry, sir.

We don't normally do that.

Oh, that's all right.

I'll pipe myself

aboard....Oooh...ooohh....See?

I'm takin' a cruise to lose the

blues.

With a smile on my face and a

shine on my shoes....

Excuse me...excuse me!!!

But the rest of us would like to

come aboard.

Oh, I'm sorry, Sugar.

But you see, when my jaws starts

flappin', my brain stops

knockin'.

The other models are inside,

but you are by far the most
beautiful.

Models.....Sweetheart, I'm here

to work on my doctorate.

I'm not a piece of cheesecake.

Well, she don't like you

and she don't like me.

But lucky for us there's other

fish in the sea.

Ahh!!

That's enough mac....

Oh, Isaac.

Go.

Oh wow....

isn't this nice?

Oh, great.

Ah.....

isn't this wonderful.

One whole cabin for

all three of us.

Yeah, we don't have to share

with anybody.

She has great measurements,

Thirty-six,

twenty-four, thirty-six, zero.

Listen, Rita...

Hey....now come on, you two.

I'm gonna go throw confetti.

Me too.

Only I'm gonna be throwing

most of it at her.

Guess who?

Rick!

Oh!

Oh....

Well, tell me, young lady,

do you kiss every man that

sneaks into your room?

Only those that I'm engaged to.

I was hoping that you'd come to

see me off.

Oh, I did better than that.

I bought a ticket.

Hey....that's great.

You don't seem too

thrilled about it.

Well, I just didn't want

anybody to know about us.

You know the rules of the

competition.

I'm supposed to be unattached,

free to travel.

Yeah, I know all that, but

I just couldn't stand to be away

from you, that's all.

For three days?

Look, what if I win this thing?

I'd be gone for a year.

I guess I'll just have to

stow away in your trunk.

Rick, look, this is a

really big chance for me.

I'd get to do three national

commercials.

I mean, that's at least five

thousand dollars.

Hey, wait a minute.

What's more important?

Commercials or me?

Five thousand dollars

would be an awfully nice wedding

present.

Hm?

Anybody ever tell you,

you'd make a heck of an

ambassadress?

Yes?

Thank you.

Hello, Frank,

Listen, I think I got a goody
for the magazine.

Not what,

who,

John P. Whitcomb.

He's here and Robin's got him.

Yeah, he's alone, but he

won't be for long.

Yeah, people would come from

miles around just to buy my

peanuts at the ballpark.

Well, that's incredible.

You mean you actually saved

enough money to pay for this

cruise by selling peanuts at a

ballpark?

No way.

You make peanuts selling
peanuts.

I sold popcorn too,

Of course, you had to have

a little showmanship.

Now like if you was to buy a bag

of peanuts and a bag of popcorn,

I'd throw in the hambone.

Oh, but who could eat

that much?

Honey, hambone ain't somethin'

you eat.

Hambone is somethin' you do.

Why don't you show her.

I never could resist a

command performance...so stand

back and I'm gonna give it a

whack.

Hambone, hambone,

where you been?

Been around the world and I'm

goin' again.

Hambone, hambone, whattya say?

Hambone, hambone every day......

Oh, no, no,

that's...that's all right, but I

detect a distinct Southeastern

influence in that particular

rendition.

Now back home in Oakland, we

have our own refinements.

Young man, I hear more

jawbone than I do hambone.

Is that so?

Yeah.

Well, then stand back .

Hambone, hambone, get on down,

I do hambone to the disco sound.

Boogie with the

hambone day and night...

Hambone, hambone, outta sight.

Out of sight!

Yeah!

Do you realize, young man, how

many peanuts we could have sold

together?

Congressman Whitcomb?

You must be mistaken.

I couldn't be.

I'm one of your constituents.

Really?

And you're still talking to me?

I believe a man's private life

is nobody's business but

his own.

I wish the press felt the same
way.

They're out to sell newspapers.

What do they care about honesty?

Unfortunately, there's a lot of

people that believe what they
read.

I don't.

I voted for you once and I

intend to vote for you again.

The way things are going,

you might not get a chance.

I'm sure I will.

Well, a vote of confidence,

like that deserves a drink.

Would you care to join me,

Miss....?

Brant.

Robin Brant.

Robin Brant.

It's very nice.

How 'bout the Starlight Bar?

Perfect.

Yes.

Ah, Mr.Linden.

Ah Captain,

Have you been going over

your script?

Well, that's what I wanted

to talk to you about.

This is the first time,

I've done this, and...

I don't usually tell jokes.

There's nothing to worry about.

You'll be wonderful.

Well...

Trust me.

I've written for all the top

comedians.

Bert Parks, Monty Hall.All of
them.

Got to get the girls ready.

Wow!

Bert Parks.

Good afternoon, ladies and

gentlemen.

This afternoon we begin our

search for the young woman who

will represent us during the

year ahead.

She will be judged for her
beauty,

poise and personality.

And right now, if our judges are

ready, and I see that they are.

We will begin by showing you

some of the cruise wear designed

especially for our shops on

board by Carita of California,

modelled by our five lovely

ladies.....

First Miss Alma Hodges,

nineteen....

A sophomore at Oklahoma A&M.

She's studying veterinary

medicine.

You lucky dogs.

Now next Miss Teresa Chen,

twenty-one,

from San Francisco.

She's a student of Marine
Biology

and I know a lot of marines

who'd like to study her biology.

Miss Suzie Corbett

twenty-two...

Suzie is a music major,

as you can tell from

her rhythm section.

And now Miss Rita Almirez,

twenty,

A history student from

San Antonio, Texas.

One look and you'll forget the

Alamo and remember Rita.

And finally, Miss Jeannette
Arno,

twenty-two.

Jeannette was the most popular1

girl at the University of
Nebraska,

which is a remarkable

accomplishment since she went

to the University of Oklahoma.

How 'bout a big hand for all of

them!!

What did I tell you?

You were terrific.

Oh, yes, I was good, wasn't I?

Now don't forget, tonight

is the modeling of the evening

gowns.

Right.

Get me the script an hour early.

I want to punch it up.

Well, Alma's a shoe-in.

Come on.

Jeannette's got winner written

all over her.

And I hope it's in Braille.

I don't know.

I'm betting on the sister.

She's not even in the
competition.

She may not be in your
competition,

but she is definitely in mine.

Excuse me, Mr.Gibson, but

would you teach me

how to do the hambone?

Why, sure, child.

You see it goes like this.

Hambone, hambone, ain't so
tough.

Hambone, hambone, that's enough.

Hambone, Hambone, make up a

rhyme...

I can do that any time.

Okay.

Honey, you are a natural.

Is there anything that I

can get you?

Yes.

Earmuffs.

Oh, we were just having a

little fun.

I have nothing against anyone

having fun.

I just don't think it's

necessary for that man to make

such a fool of himself.

That's just Mr.Gibson.

I mean,

he's a nice old dude.

Really?

Then how long before he starts

strumming on the old banjo?

Ah,

I can only stay a minute.

Ah, well, that's long

enough for this.

I love you.

And I love you.

Hey listen, how 'bout tonight?

When your roommates are asleep,

you come and stay here.

Ah, Rick...

I know.

I know.

The rules.

you're supposed to be brainy and
talented and

beautiful and sexy but most of

all you're supposed to be moral,

right?

Right.

Right.

It doesn't say somewhere in fine

print that it's okay to be
human?

Nope....

No.

But I am.

I'll see you tonight.

That's my girl.

Wait.

I don't believe it.

I....I'm sorry.

Wow!

Look at all these books on black
history.

What are you trying to do?

Rewrite Roots?

I'm working on my dissatation.

Dissatation?

Are you a teacher?

Well, you might say,

I'm a teaching fellow.

Ah, none of the fellas I knew

ever looked like you.

That means I'm a teaching
assistant.

Ah, a teacher.

Boy, if I had a teacher like
you,

I'd still be in school.

Oh, we never got to names.

I'm Isaac Washington.

Stephanie Hayden.

How do you do, Stephanie Hayden?

"Slave Families of Virginia."

Well, this looks interesting.

Well, if you think the cover's

interesting, you should read

what's inside.

Does that mean you'd loan

it to me?

Hm-hm.

And I suggest you start with

Chapter Nine.

Ah....okay,

Teach....When's the first test?

Oh, hey, Isaac, good.

Hey...how does that hambone go
again?

'Cause this is the way the old

guy did it, but I want to.....

Ah, ah, ah...Gopher, later.

okay?

Later.

Mr.Washington, please I never
stand

in the way of higher learning.

Continue with your class in

Advanced Hambone.

Thank you.

Gopher, Gopher.

You are out of my will.

Frank...Frank,

I haven't called you because I
haven't got anything to tell
you.

Yes, I know who Nicky is

Whitcomb's girlfriend.

I don't care if she is gonna

spill her guts in somebody's
column.

It's gonna take a little time to

find out if Whitcomb's wife is

gonna divorce him.

Or if he's gonna resign before

Congress throws him out.

Just give me a little time,

Frank...

An hour isn't exactly the kind

of time I had in mind Frank.

Frank?

Dinner was terrific,

wasn't it?

Yes.

It's funny, too, because I came

on this cruise to get away from

people and now.

Well listen, everybody needs

someone to talk to.

It's just that ever since my

relationship with Nicki.

The dancer?

I'm sorry.

I haven't had a moments peace

since that story broke.

My entire life has been examined

and re-examined, investigated,

probed.

No one's life can live up to

that kind of scrutiny.

We all make mistakes.

I never said I made a mistake.

Look, how would you feel

if right now on this ship there

was a reporter watching us,

together holding hands.

Saw me kissing you.

Tomorrow the headlines would say

"Congressman And His Conquest

Seen Living It Up On The Love

Boat."

Good evening, ladies and
gentlemen,

this evening our beautiful
models

will be showing you some

of the evening wear designed

especially for us by Carita of
California.

But before we begin,

a funny thing happened to me

on the way to the Acapulco
lounge tonight.

I saw a passenger standing on

the deck going like this.

I said what are you doing that

for?

He said, It keeps the elephants

away.

I said, Elephants?

We never had an elephant on this

ship.

He said, see that,

it works.

It's one of my favorites.

I got a million of 'em.

I've created a monster.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

comes the poise portion

of the competition.

Whoever is selected to be our

ambassadress will be required to

deal with the press and the

dignitaries of foreign
countries.

Now to see how she thinks on her

feet, we'll ask each young woman

to answer one completely

impromptu question.

Jeannette, in fifteen seconds,

please tell us what is your goal

in life?

Oh...well, I would like to bring

all the people in the whole

world together, so that they can

live together in harmony

and they can love together
forever.

Do I have any time left?

Ah, two seconds.

Together.

Thank you.

You know I want to apologize.

All I've done since we met is,

talk about me and about my

troubles.

Listen, you need to get it out.

Sometimes it's easier to do it

with a perfect stranger.

Ah, you're not a stranger.

What you are is,

the first person I've met so far

that's interested in

my side of the story.

You see,

my wife and I were planning

to get divorced before Nicki

came along.

There were no ugly moments,

no bad times.

It's just that, my life was

politics and she couldn't handle

it.

The traveling, the campaigns.

We lived separate lives.

But we were, and still are good

friends.

When this thing with Nicki

happened...the press made it

look like I was leaving my wife

for some chorus girl.

Then it was love?

It was love.

But it didn't work....Big deal.

The worst part of it was,

I was working on a piece of tax

reform legislation at the time.

It was a bill that would have

benefitted millions of

Americans.

Now the whole thing is in doubt

because of this cloud hanging

over my head.

I never heard anything about

a tax reform bill.

Oh...and you won't.

People are more interested in

sensation than legislation.

But you have to get your

side of the story out.

No, no.

I just gotta get out before they

throw me out.

Resign?

But, John...

It's a losing battle.

Tired of fighting it.

Well, maybe it would be
different

if you weren't fighting all
alone.

Rick,

Do you think we should?

No, I don't think we should.

But I know we're gonna.

What...what if somebody finds
out?

Nobody's gonna find out.

Now come on.

Get in.

Rick, you're gonna think

I'm crazy, but I can't go

through with this.

You what?

Um...I can't stay here tonight.

It would be dishonest.

But, Suzie, I mean....

Look, please, try and
understand.

Okay?

We'll see each other tomorrow.

Suzie...Suzie!

Rick, no.

But, Suzie,

wait.

You see, I told you.

Waldo, I can explain.

It doesn't mean...

Miss Corbett, I'm sorry to say

that you're guilty of conduct

unbecoming a possible

ambassadress for the Princess

Lines.

You are hereby disqualified from

the competition.

Baby, I'm sorry.

Oh....

I told you.

Well, good night.

Good night.

Will I see you in the morning?

You bet.

Hello.

Ah, come on, Frank.

I thought you were gonna give me

some time.

Yes, his wife is going to
divorce him,

but they've been talking about

divorce for a long time.

No, I don't know the details.

The chorus girl thing is over
but,

Frank, you're pressuring me.

Yes, I think he's going to
resing,

but now don't print that.

Look, there's a lot more to
this.

I'll tell you what.

I will call you first thing in

the morning with a full story.

All right?

Okay, I will talk to you then,

and don't print anything, Frank.

"And God stepped out on space,

and he looked around and he
said:

"I'm lonely...and I'll make me a
world." James Weldon Johnson.

Our ancestors made the crossing,

below the deck.

In shackles,

they never got to see any of
this.

That's heavy.

But is that all you can think of

right now?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm...thinking, about,

this night,

the moon,

the stars,

the sea,

and you.

Isaac,

I'm trying to get you serious

about our people,

not get you serious about me.

It always worked in grammar
school.

Isaac.

GIBSON: [SINGING CAMPTOWN

RACETRACK]

Thanks for the apple.

Thanks for the apple.

Jeannette?

Jeannette, you called for me?

What's the emergency?

Oh, Waldo,

I can't get my zipper down.

You called me for a zipper?

Hm-hm.

Why didn't you call one of the
girls?

Well, you're in charge, aren't
you?

Oh, please.

I have a little itch right in

the middle of my back.

Could you scratch it for me,

please?

Scratch?

Please.

Here?

Lower.

Lower?

Lower.

Jeannette...Jeannette,

you're making me crazy.

Waldo, I'm surprised at you,

What kind of a girl do you think
I am?

Why you burst in here while I'm

half naked and try to take

advantage of me.

Stephanie, this book is
incredible.

It...it makes me realize how

little I know.

But now you know more than you
did yesterday.

You see, we do have a past we

can be proud of.

We have a rich and valuable

culture.

It's up to us to let people know

about our poets and
philosophers,

our soldiers and scientists.

Instead of perpetuating these

stereotypes.

You mean Mr.Gibson?

Exactly.

We have to let people know that

we're not just entertainers.

We have more to do with our

lives than dance.

Yeah, but Stephanie, Mr.Gibson,

he's a nice old guy.

Isaac, he's the type of man who

makes it harder for you and me.

People think all blacks are like

that.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh my head.

Is there a doctor on this ship?

Oh, your eyes look real good.

You should see them from my
side.

Isaac man, we had a ball

last night.

Oh, Mr. Gibson know how

to show us a good time.

You should have been there, man.

I have more important things

to with my life than dance.

Come on, baby,

don't be depressed.

So you got disqualified.

Maybe it's the best thing that

ever happened to us.

Now we don't have to pretend
anymore.

Suzie, I've got it.

Look, we're in Ensenada....

Let's get off the ship and get

married.

Right now.

What do you say?

Really?

And we'll have our honeymoon

right here on the ship.

Oh, honey.

Let's.

Okay.

That's better.

Are you decent?

So decent we're gonna be
married.

Oh, wonderful.

And do I have a great wedding

present for you.

You're back into the
competition.

What?!

Jeannette, you're kidding me!

See like....Waldo and I had kind

of a heart to heart talk.

Yeah?

And I convinced him that your

moral standards were just as

high as his.

Oh, Rick, honey, can you

believe that!

I'm back in.

Oh, Jeannette, I...I can't

believe it.

Thank you.

Certainly.

Stephanie,

I want you to try this.

A peso for your thoughts.

There's something I want

to tell you, and I don't know

quite how to put it into words.

Oh....two pesos?

I think you may have to throw in

a piña colada.

You got it.

I'm falling in love with you.

I feel the same way Robin,

Boy, we've got great timing.

I mean, if you involve yourself

with me now you're

you're putting yourself

right in the firing line.

I don't care.

I believe in you.

And I want to be with you.

Stateside papers,

just flown in.

Ah, do you have the Times?

Yeah.

John, I can help you in this
fight.

I've got connections in the

newspaper business.

Well, why don't I just come

right out and say it.

I'm a reporter.

You're a what?

Do you have a copy of
Scuttlebutt?

Ah, yes, ma'am.

This is the paper I work for.

Oh, really.

Oh, my God.

What?

What's the matter?

Whitcomb quits...

dancer splits.

Exclusive.

John P. Whitcomb will end his
political

career by throwing in the towel.

According to a source aboard the

Pacific Princess.

You'd think I'd learn.

John, wait.

Ah, Miss Brant, there's a long

distance phone call for you

from a Mr.Frank Davis of
Scuttlebutt.

Newspaper in New York.

Tell him I just quit.

Well, wait a minute.

Why should you have all the fun?

I'll tell him myself.

You're just the two

I'm looking for.

You see, I'm having a party down

in my cabin a little later on

and I'd like for you folks to be

in on the festivities.

Thank you, but no thanks.

Yeah, you better count me out,
too.

Whatever you say, boss.

I'm not your boss.

I'm your boss and I'd like

to have a word with you.

Captain, it's time to start

the talent contest.

I'll speak to you after the
show.

Here's your script.

I can ad lib better than that.

Isaac, what's the matter with
you?

I thought you liked Mr.Gibson.

Why are you turning on him?

Let me put it this way.

I've seen about all the

shuffling I can handle.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's time for the talent contest

and the final judging.

This is part of the competition

which allows our judges to see a

different facet of our young

ladies.

The ability to be in the
spotlight.

Which reminds me.

my mother-in-law was in a talent

show once, she was the only one

in it.

She came in second.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And now, without further ado,

Miss Alma Hodges will sing for
us

The Bell Song from Lakme.

You know, she told me she never

had a lesson in her life.

Where the beavers built

their lodges.

Where the squirrels,

hid their acorns.

He talked with them wherever he

met them.

And he called them,

Hiawatha's brothers.

[SUZIE PLAYING PIANO]

Wow....she's terrific.

Yeah.

She looks like a winner to me.

And the winner is

Miss Suzie Corbett.

GIRLS: [SCREAM FOR SUZIE]

Thank you.

Thank you, everybody.

I...I really can't believe I've
won.

A moment ago I thought

representing the Princess Lines

was the most important thing in

the world, but I've realized

there's something much more

important to me, and he's

walking out of the room this
minute.

I'm very grateful that you've

chosen me, but rather

than being the ambassadress for
a year,

I'd rather be Mrs. Rick Leonard

for the rest of my life.

Well, what can you say.

They do call this the Love Boat.

Thank you.

Our new ambassadress will

be the first runner up,

and she is.

Miss Jeannette Arno.

Robin,

I want to apologize.

You want to apologize,

but I'm the one who.

No.

Julie told me that you quit your

job because of me.

Oh, it wasn't just because of
you.

It was because Frank Davis

double-crossed me.

He wasn't supposed to print that

pack of half truths.

I wanted him to print your side

of the story, and I'm glad I
quit.

No.

I want you to get your job back.

What?

That's right.

I'll need someone in the press

to help me when I go back to

fight this thing.

When we go back to fight this
thing.

Oh, John.

Oh, Captain, I'm on my way to

Mr. Gibson's party.

Are you coming now?

In a minute.

You go ahead.

Oh, all right.

Isaac,

I, I've noticed that you're

reading a lot of black history
lately.

Yes, I loaned him the books.

Oh....Well then,

I'm glad you're here.

You see,

a little knowledge is a
dangerous thing.

You two have had your noses

buried so deeply in the history
books,

that you missed seeing some

living black history in the

person of a certain peanut

vendor, named Virgil Gibson

or perhaps you'd know him

better if I called him

Scattergun Gibson.

You mean he's Scattergun Gibson?

That's right.

Who's Scattergun Gibson?

Only the greatest pitcher the

Negro league ever had.

They used to say that he could

pitch the ball so fast that it

crossed the plate before its

shadow did.

I saw him pitch when I was a
kid.

It was an exhibition game

against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

He mowed them down like they

were Little Leaguers.

I'd never seen anything like it.

But, Captain, if he's

such a great black athlete,

why does he bother

to tap dance for everybody?

Because in his day that's what

you had to do to get along.

You not only had to be a great

athlete, but you had to make

people laugh while you were

beating them.

But that was then.

Today is different.

Young lady, you're darned right

it's different.

It's because of men like him

that there are blacks playing in

the major leagues today.

And tending bar on ships.

And teaching history

in colleges.

Captain,

where is that party?

Follow me.

Tell about the time you struck

out Babe Ruth.

Oh, yeah.

Which time?

You mean you struck him out more

than once.

Does a peanut come in a shell?

Come in.

Hi, Captain.

Scattergun.

Hey, hello there, youngsters.

Hi.

Hi.

Now I recall the first time

the Babe and I ever faced

one another.

It was in nineteen thirty-two,

an exhibition game

at the Yankee Stadium.

We leadin' the Yanks one to

nothin' goin' into the bottom of

the ninth.

One out and a man on first,

then the Babe steps up to the
plate.

So I calls out to him I said,

"Mr.Ruth,

I want to take this

opportunity to apologize for

what I'm about to do to you."

And he yells back.

"Just throw the ball, kid" and I
did.

Three times

Hah.

He never seen one of 'em.

Well the Babe walks out to the
mound still got

his bat in his hand.

But you know what he said?

He said, "The way the world is,

you ain't never gonna be in the
majors,

but I want you to know this.

You are the best there is."

Then he shook my hand and

walked off the field.

Wow.

That's great.

You beat the Yankees.

No.

Lou Gehrig come up next and hit

a home run.

Mr.Gibson,

we,

we owe you an apology.

Oh, don't be shaken.

No offense made and none taken.

Mr. Gibson,

Scattergun.

We both behaved very rudely to
you and

we're sorry for it.

You know, I've been studying

black history for the last five
years,

but there seems to be a

big gap in my education.

What's that?

I never learned to do the
hambone.

Would you teach me?

Would I teach you?

Okay.

Hambone, hambone, sing the song.

Hambone, hambone all night long.

Come on baby it's your turn.

Hambone...hambone.......

ALL: [EVERYONE SINGING HAMBONE]

Well, I guess I'll see you

at the wedding, huh?

Yes.

Oh, I'm so excited for you guys.

Hey, I'm really excited for you,

too.

What are your plans?

Well, I guess I'll be pretty
busy,

you know, traveling around and

making commercials, and

and then at the end of the year,

I'm gonna marry Waldo.

You and Waldo?

He doesn't know it yet,

but that man is one heck of

a back scratcher.

Goodbye, Miss Brant, and

Mr.Smith.

It's Whitcomb.

Congressman Whitcomb.

I know.

Oh,

Well, bye bye now.

And thank you very much for

everything.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

There she is,

Jeannette, where have you been?

Oh...mmm.

Oh, okay, everybody.

Let's go.

Captain, thank you for being a

wonderful emcee.

Well, it was fun, but for me

it was just a one time thing.

Ah, you don't happen to know

the name of a good agent, do
you?

Don't call us, we'll call you.

Thank you, we had a wonderful
time.

Thank you.

Goodbye, girls.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Suzie, have a wonderful wedding.

You did the right thing.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Rick.

Bye bye, Rick.

Mr.Gibson,

can I offer you a ride home?

Dear one,

just call me Scattergun.

Because it's true,

I'd go anyplace with you.

Scattergun, is it true

you could throw a grape through

the hole of a doughnut at sixty

feet?

Don't be ridiculous.

You see, that's one of those

tall stories that get taller

every year.

It was a raisin.

Stephanie, I hope I'm gonna

see more of you.

I really dig you.

Isaac, not in front

of all these people.

That's perfectly all right.

We're just one big happy family.

Yeah,

Dad,

could I use the ship tonight?
