[Theme music]

Theme song: Love, love exciting and new, come aboard.

We're expecting you.

And love, love is life's sweetest reward.

Let it flow, it flows back to you.

The love boat.

Soon we'll be making another run.

The love boat promises something for everyone.

Set a course for adventure, your mind on a new romance.

And love, love won't hurt anymore.

It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

The love boat soon will be making another run.

Welcome aboard.

It's love.

Welcome aboard the boat.

[Music playing]

Ah.

Gracias, senor.

[Chuckles]

Look at it.

[Chuckles]

Eddie, coming to the marbella beach club

was a wonderful, wonderful idea.

It is so beautiful.

And so is the Rose.

Did you know that every flower has its own meaning?

No, I didn't know that.

It's true, really.

Oh, you don't believe me?

Ok.

You name a flower, and I will give you its meaning.

A flower?

Uh-huh.

Ok.

I'll play.

A tulip. - Tulip?

Uh-huh.

A tulip means, come live with me and share my windmill.

Yeah.

All right.

How about a Petunia?

Gesundheit.

Gesundheit?

Yeah.

And a single Rose?

That's a good one.

A single Rose can mean one of two things.

It could mean, a dozen roses are how much?

Or it could mean there are many roses and many women,

but I found the most beautiful of each and put them together.

That is just possibly the corniest line

I have ever, ever heard.

And I think it's time that we went for a swim.

Cold water isn't exactly what I had in mind.

I don't know what to say.

You've been a real friend.

And I didn't mean to cause you any trouble.

You know that, don't you?

Now, listen.

If you're worried about the captain, don't be.

I can handle him.

Oh, yeah?

How?

By staying out of sight for the rest of the cruise.

[Chuckles]

Say, let's have a goodbye and good luck cup of coffee, ok?

Senor, [Spanish].

You know, thanks to you, I spent a super day in Barcelona.

I got to sail on a beautiful ship

for the first time in my life.

I spent the morning in puerto banus with a handsome man.

And for all three of those days, I ate like a bear.

I think I'll just hibernate for six months.

Well, when you come out of hibernation, I want you to--

no, Isaac.

You've done enough.

Well, here.

At least take this so you can go to Lisbon

and join your friends.

Isaac, I don't have any friends in Lisbon.

I just told you that because I feel real safe with you.

And right now, i'm going through-- well,

a real scary time in my life.

Keep it.

I'm going to pay you back for this, I swear, somehow.

I promise.

You just take care of yourself, ok?

On my word.

Oh!

What is it?

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh!

I think the way I've been pigging out,

it's finally catching up to me. Oh!

Oh!

I'm taking you back to the ship.

No, no.

The captain said--

screw whatever the captain said.

I said let's go.

Taxi!

Thank you.

It's obvious Dana likes you as a friend.

Are you ready to tell her it's more than that?

I don't know.

I feel so close to her now.

Maybe that's enough.

Maybe it's better to be satisfied with that,

not to risk losing her.

What if she--

what if she forgives you?

She was five years old the last time she saw her mother.

A lot can change in 20 years--

even a little girl's feelings.

You're her mother, Laura.

She has a right to know.

Now, that's the village of mijas up ahead.

It looks charming.

It even has its own bull ring.

Everything I always wanted in a Spanish town.

[Music playing]

To appreciate, you must understand.

Bullfighting is a challenge to a man's spirit,

a test of his skill, his courage, his soul.

And if a man should fail that test?

Then he is only a man.

He is not a [Spanish].

It looks almost playful.

I thought Portuguese bullfighting

was done on horseback.

It is.

This is just an exercise-- you would call it a warm-up--

to sharpen Antonio for his debut in Lisbon.

Even a calf without horns instinctively attacks.

But a skilled toreador can handle even the most

dangerous bull and prevail.

But this is only a calf.

What are the toros, the bulls in the ring like?

Huge, some over 1,200 pounds, and dangerous.

A charging bull can hit a man with the force of a locomotive

going 60 miles an hour.

Facing one of them must be terrifying.

But exhilarating.

It's one of the greatest thrills in the world, [chuckles]

Like your first love affair.

It's hard to think about love where

then is a chance of death.

That is why you must outsmart the bull.

Unlike the girl, the bull is not apt to give

you a second chance.

Hey, Antonio.

That better not happen in Lisbon.

[Chuckles]

Ah, what a day.

I think we've seen the costa del sol from top to bottom.

Definitely from the top.

It's so romantic.

I wish Mark were here.

I wonder what uncle merrill needed him for.

To help out an old friend.

What do you mean?

Anna, you can't imagine what these past few days with you

have meant to me.

I don't understand.

You told me you sense some special feeling between us.

I-- I have, but--

there's a reason.

There's a very real reason.

Jamison was only my maiden name.

My married name was Colton.

I'm your mother.

This is some kind of joke?

I don't find it funny.

Oh, no, please, it's not a joke.

It's been 20 years, but--

my mother is dead.

Your grandfather told you I was killed

in an automobile accident.

He felt it would be easier for you that way--

easier for him, too, not having to explain to his grand friends

that his daughter-in-law was in prison.

But I'm not dead.

I'm alive.

And I'm here.

I don't know who you are, why you're doing this to me.

But my mother is dead.

No, I'm not.

I want her dead.

Captain: We hope you all enjoyed your stay

on the beautiful, sunny southern coast of Spain.

Our next stop--

Lisbon, Portugal.

Hasta luego.

Doc, is she all right?

She's fine.

But the pain-- you weren't there.

It was really bad.

I'm pregnant, Isaac.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Well, maybe you should run another test

to really make sure.

Isaac, do I tell you how to make martinis?

He doesn't need to run another test, Isaac.

I know I'm pregnant.

I'm in my seventh month.

You don't even show.

From what Lois tells me, it's a family trait.

And the pain?

Another family trait.

Long history of premature births.

Huh.

You did well today, Antonio, with one exception.

How are things with miss Kennedy?

Well, they actually seem to change from minute to minute.

She's-- she's very strong-willed,

grandfather, very opinionated, and very beautiful.

As a matter of fact, when we're not talking about bullfighting,

she's actually quite sweet.

She sounds like your grandmother.

[Chuckles]

Tell me something.

Was there ever a time that you doubted you could

live up to the family name?

No the first time I rode into the arena in Lisbon,

I knew I could do it.

Just as you will.

[Laughter]

And what about a morning glory?

A morning glory?

Morning glory means we could have

a beautiful breakfast together.

My cabin or yours?

And the Rose?

Why don't we forget the Rose?

I should have gotten you a morning glory.

You know, the flower shop is still open.

[Music playing]

So I came to Europe.

I knew if I told my folks I was pregnant,

they'd just try to talk me into giving the baby up.

I didn't want to do that.

Who's the father?

His name is James Russell.

He's a good-looking guy.

Does he know?

No.

Besides, it was just a college romance.

Anyway, he's just been accepted into medical school.

The last thing he needs is a wife and kids.

Listen, why don't you rest, and we'll

talk about this later?

Ok?

Are you going to tell the captain I'm back?

Sure.

First thing next year.

[Music playing]

Antonio, I've been looking everywhere for you.

I've been right here, sorting things out.

About Lisbon and the bulls?

Yes.

And about you.

I hope they were nice thoughts.

Those ones were the best ones.

Antonio, I don't want my personal prejudices

to come between you and your grandfather.

If bullfighting is what you have to do--

that's not what I want to do.

And you haven't caused this, Elaina.

You've simply opened my eyes to it.

You see, before I met you, it was always tradition, yes?

Always family.

I never followed my heart.

Until now.

[Music playing]

Oh, please, not yet.

This is a case of bad timing.

Ms. Hendrix?

Where is Dr. Bricker's office?

Last door on the left.

Thank you, captain.

Ms. Hendrix?

How did you find out?

I passed her in the hall.

In the hall?

She's not supposed to be on her feet.

For any particular reason?

Yeah, she's-- pregnant.

How pregnant?

Oh, very pregnant, sir.

She asked me directions to doc's office.

Hello.

If you're running where I think you're running, relax.

She had it?

It was a false alarm.

For now.

Hi. Wow.

You look terrific.

Thanks.

So do you.

Special plan?

Oh, I thought I'd pay a surprise

visit on that special friend of mine,

see if he has any lunch plans.

I had the same idea.

Want to double? - Sure.

Sounds great.

Oh, you're going this way too?

Uh-huh. You too?

Uh-huh.

Vicki, what is your friend's name?

Eddie.

Something tells me we are one short of our double date.

The champagne--

We'd like to talk to you.

Now, Eddie.

Look, I can explain everything.

I really, really can.

But not now.

I'm just--

yeah, I bet you wanna.

Well, hello, ladies.

This is Vicki.

I'm Judy, your social director.

But then I guess you're not really

interested in a fast game of shuffleboard today, are you?

Judy.

Vicki.

Ok, ok.

I suppose I deserved that--

not that exactly, but something like that.

Captain stubing.

Oh, Mark, good morning.

Dana.

Well, she did it.

Our little girl said yes.

Yes?

To our marriage.

It's set for this summer in the Hamptons.

We hope you'll join us.

Mark, could I speak to Dana alone for a moment, please?

Sure.

I'll meet you in the lounge.

Have you told him about your mother?

How could you do that to me, uncle merrill?

You know who she was all along.

Your mother spent 20 years in prison for what she did.

She deserved it.

She killed my father.

But don't you even want to know why, Dana?

No.

There is no justification for murder.

My father was a wonderful man.

My grandfather told me all about him.

That woman deserves what she got, and more.

You know, I don't think your grandfather

told you all about your father.

Oh, he had many good qualities, qualities

that made your mother fall in love with him and marry him.

But he also had a vicious temper.

And when something set him off, especially

after he had been drinking, he'd go into a blind rage.

He take it out on or whatever was handy.

Most of the time, that was your mother.

If he was some kind of monster the way

you're making him out to be, why didn't she just leave him?

Because she loved him.

She knew he was sick.

After every time he begged her not to leave him,

he promised her he'd go for help.

And?

And he did.

For a while.

If she loved him, if she wanted to help him,

how could she have killed him?

I think you deserve an answer to that.

But that answer has to come from Laura, not from me.

You know, you mean everything to her.

She means nothing to me.

Do you know what Mark's family would think?

He didn't marry a girl whose mother is a woman like that.

You're not a little girl anymore, Dana.

I think it's about time you grew up.

[Music playing]

[Knocking]

Yes?

Message for Eddie Conrad.

Uh-huh.

Who's it from?

I don't know.

But she makes Raquel Welch look like Mr. T.

Ooh.

I've seen you around the ship, and i'd

like to see you in cabin 416.

Oh, Mr. Conrad, you are one lucky dude.

Listen, if you're ever too busy--

I'm never too busy where women are concerned.

Thank you.

So I've heard.

Come on in.

I'm waiting for you.

Yeah.

When you're hot, you're hot.

[Humming]

Hello?

Hello, Eddie!

Barbara!

Shirley!

Veronica, Susan, Lucy, Terry, everybody.

Fancy seeing you all at once like this.

Now, now, girls, let's take it easy.

This is just a guess, but have you all been comparing notes?

That's what I was afraid of.

Now it's our turn, Eddie.

Eddie: Somebody let me out!

Woman: We'll give you something to remember.

You said I was the only girl.

Well, do you think we should let him out?

Right after we do one more thing.

What?

Get a good night's sleep.

Eddie: Please, I need that!

Come on!

Can anybody hear me?

Help!

[Music playing]

I-- I'd like to talk to.

I thought there was nothing left to talk about.

In fact, it's probably better that way.

I shouldn't have tried to find you.

You were better off thinking I was dead.

I knew you were alive.

You knew?

How?

A letter came in the mail one day.

I saw where grandfather hid it.

Later, I found all your letters.

I read them.

I tried to understand.

But you didn't?

No.

Merrill told me that to you and he talked.

Was it true that my father beat you?

Yes.

Yes, he did.

No one talked about it back then.

It was something people swept under the carpet,

not talked about in polite company, even in court.

And your grandfather would never believe it,

not from the impossibly middle class girl who

married his upper class son.

Why did you have to kill him?

When your father got mad, he went into these terrible rages,

became violent, beat me, sometimes

until I couldn't stand up.

I made excuses for it.

But when he turned on you--

no, my father loved me.

He cared for me.

Yes, he loved you.

But he hurt you that night.

He took a pot of boiling water from the stove

and threw it at you.

The scarring.

I could never remember what happened.

I pulled you away from him.

When he came at you again, I grabbed the only thing

I could reach to defend you--

a kitchen knife on the counter.

I don't want to hear any more of this.

I'm sorry.

I tried.

I've spent my whole life hating you.

I just can't stop now.

Don't you see?

He was my father.

[Music playing]

Captain: Welcome to historic Lisbon, truly a city

to satisfy every taste.

See the beautiful swan lake and campo grande garden

or take a side trip on the sparkling beaches of estoril

on the Portuguese riviera.

And don't forget the bullfights today at the Plaza De toros.

I appreciate everything you've done, merrill.

I only wish it could have been more.

I know that one day, you'll--

no, no.

I think it's best I don't live in that hope.

I've hurt her enough as it is.

How can you be reached?

I don't know.

Any plans I've made are different now.

I guess I might as well look around Lisbon for a while.

After that, I'll just have to start life over somewhere.

Well, if you ever want to reach me,

just contact the ship.

I'll surprise you one day.

[Music playing]

Be careful, now.

Take smaller steps.

Isaac, that gentleman said you sent for him.

Lois!

Jimmy!

Oh, you!

Oh!

How?

Oh, I reached out and touched someone--

your mother.

She said that he was in Madrid looking for you.

You were looking for me?

I just had to find you.

Nothing makes any sense without you.

I need you, Lois.

Marry me.

Marry you?

Rich or poor, sickness, health, you may now kiss the bride,

that kind of marriage?

What do you say?

It's not just because--

Lois, I didn't tell him everything.

What's-- what's everything?

Why is it I get the feeling that i'm

the only person here who doesn't know what's going on?

M it's a long story.

Woo!

My education is very important to me, grandfather.

I want to start graduate school next month.

In less than an hour, you'll be facing the bull.

This is no time to argue.

I know you.

And if we do not talk now, next month you'll have

me on a tour in South America.

You will uphold the family honor.

I won't disgrace you.

I will fight today, but that's all I can promise.

It is her influence, that girl's, isn't it?

Will you please leave Elaine out of this

she's already too much a part of it.

If you have something to say, say it yourself, Antonio.

Belmontes are caballeros, not scholars.

If you're afraid you cannot live up to that expectation--

oh, now you think I'm a coward?

You said it.

Not I. If you're afraid that what happened to your father

in the ring will happen to you--

my father's death weighs on your conscience, not mine.

He was my son.

I loved him.

And he was a great bullfighter.

But he was arrogant, overconfident.

Antonio, he became careless.

What happened to him was his own fault.

No, grandfather, it was not his fault.

It was your pride in a family honor

that puts tradition above a man's life.

Well, I won't be a part of it anymore.

I'm not going into that ring today

or ever-- for family honor, for you, ever again.

You are a coward.

No.

In fact, I'm braver than I thought.

I was never afraid of the bulls.

And now I'm no longer afraid of you.

[Music playing]

Dana?

Bulls won't wait all day.

They have problems of their own.

Mark, we have to talk.

About our wedding arrangements, darling?

About my mother.

She is alive.

I've talked for.

Alive?

After dropping out of your life for 20 years?

I'm still her daughter.

You don't owe a woman like that anything.

I owe her everything.

Dana, she killed your father.

She abandoned you.

Now she wants to be a part of your family?

Our family?

If you could just try to understand why it happened--

what she told--

darling, once the shock wears off,

you'll understand why I don't want you

associating with someone like--

you don't want?

It's always what you want, your plans.

You tell me how to dress, how to act, what to think.

Everything always revolves around you and your family.

Well, I finally found something that's for me, somebody for me,

my own mother.

If you can't accept her, then you can't accept me.

I can't marry you.

Dana.

Ok, here goes.

We are gathered here today to witness

one of life's most fulfilling--

oh, oh, oh!

Please tell me this is another false alarm.

I'm sorry, Isaac.

I think this is the real thing.

- Oh, no. - Doc!

A mother always knows these things.

I better get her to my office.

Not until we get married.

There isn't time, Lois!

Can-- can-- can-- can-- can-- can-- can we do it on the way?

Well, i-- i--

i-- i-- i-- i--

I guess so.

Do you, James dressell, take Lois

to be your lawful wedded wife, to love

and honor in sickness and health,

for better or for worse? - Oh!

Try to relax.

Take short, deep breaths.

I'm talking to her.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm just a little nervous.

I've never performed a ceremony on the run before.

Captain, the ceremony!

For rich or for poor, and to Cherish

till death do your part?

Oh, I do.

Isn't there an abridged version of this?

I'm trying.

Oh!

Easy, easy.

And do you, Lois Hendricks--

could talk a little faster, merrill, sir?

Take James to be your lawful wedded husband,

to love and honor in sickness and in health,

for better or worse, for richer or poorer, till death do you

part?

I do!

By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife!

God bless you both!

Lois: Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

God bless all three of you.

[Music playing]

Well, I see a lot of Portugal turned

out to see Antonio belmonte's debut in the ring, huh?

[Music playing]

[Applause]

Elaine, I'm surprised to see you here.

I didn't think you were a bullfighting enthusiast.

True.

Well, let's just call this the first step

in my open mind policy.

Let's get out of here.

What's the matter?

I'm not going to fight today.

My grandfather doesn't understand.

He thinks I'm a coward.

Announcer: [Speaking Spanish]

They're changing the program.

Antonio belmonte will not be fighting today.

He's indisposed?

Let's go.

He looks pretty disposed to me.

Yeah.

Announcer: [Speaking Spanish]

Now he says that Carlos belmonte, Portugal's

greatest bullfighter, will be fighting

in place of his grandson.

That's crazy!

He hasn't fought in years.

You can't let him do it.

[Music playing]

Announcer: [Speaking Spanish]

[Applause]

Grandfather!

Grandfather!

Poor Carlos.

Please let me through.

Grandfather.

How is he, doctor?

Very fortunate for a man of his years.

He will recover.

Thank god.

Can I see him?

For a few moments, yes.

This was my duty, not yours.

I failed you.

I failed you.

No, no.

It was I who was foolish.

I tried to defend an honor when I was not prepared.

If there is not to be another bullfighter in the family,

there is not to be.

The belmontes have already made their name in this arena.

I think it is time they were known elsewhere.

I adore you, grandfather.

He needs to rest.

I must fight for him.

Uncle merrill figured I'd find you here.

He says no one who comes to Lisbon

can pass up this view of the city.

What will you do now?

Go back to the states, I guess.

I'm so sorry.

Back to the states.

That's a coincidence.

So am I. Maybe we can go together.

What?

You know, maybe one of the airlines

will give us a special rate for a mother and daughter.

Oh, my lovely daughter.

[Music playing]

Announcer: [Speaking Spanish]

Now the announcer is saying that Antonio del

monte will complete the [Spanish] in dedication

to his grandfather.

[Applause]

[Music playing]

[Applause]

Looks like this is where he changes

horses for the final passes.

[Applause]

[Applause]

Bye bye.

Thanks for sailing with us.

Goodbye.

Eddie, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

We wanted to teach a lesson, but I guess we overdid it.

No, no.

It's so right.

I'll live.

Eddie?

Oh, I'll take this down to the cab for you,

and then I'll come back for mine.

My poor, sweet injured baby.

[Chuckles]

Yeah, you taught me a lesson all right.

I should have thought of this idea years ago.

Bye.

I could learn a lot from that guy.

Well, you two gave us some real excitement on this cruise.

I take it you're off to South America now.

Yes, but not to fight--

for our honeymoon.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

And then on to graduate school.

My grandson, the writer.

I guess it will grow on me.

Adios. - Bye bye.

Take care.

Thank you.

Did I hear something about another wedding?

Nothing like the last one, I promise.

Oh, my husband, my little girl and I would like to thank

you for everything you've done.

Oh, she is adorable.

Have you decided on a name yet?

Jennifer Isaac Russell.

I love it.

And I love you too, Isaac.

You know, you are the best bartender

a girl could stir away with.

I've had a wonderful trip.

But with the brawls, the bulls, the bandages,

and Jennifer's birth--

yeah.

It seemed less like the love boat

and more like "general hospital."

[Music playing]
