Love,

exciting and new.

Come aboard.

We're expecting you.

Love,

life's sweetest reward.

Let it flow,

it floats back to you.

The love boat

soon will be making another run.

The love boat

promises something for everyone.

Set a course for adventure,

your mind on a new romance.

Love,

won't hurt anymore.

It's an open smile

on a friendly shore.

It's love!

Welcome aboard.

It's love.

Dr. Akers?

Bricker?

It can't be.

Adam bricker, the boy wonder.

What on earth are you doing

here?

Well, I finally found a way

to combine business with

pleasure.

I'm the ship's doctor.

Lorna, you remember Adam bricker.

Of course.

Good to see you again.

Good to see you again.

I see you've already met Julie

McCoy.

Yes, we have.

Mmm...

I can still taste that chili you

used to make.

Well, that's the longest

case of heartburn I've ever

heard of.

Well, you can see where I

ended up.

What about you?

Are you still chief surgeon at

city hospital?

No, no.

I'm no longer practicing.

Actually, I had nothing to say

about it.

It seems our car got into a

slight misunderstanding on the

freeway with a station wagon,

so...

Plastic.

Naturally, I had to retire.

Well, what good's a doctor who

can't play golf?

Well, it was a pleasure meeting

you.

We'll be seeing each other.

I'd love to.

Ahhh...

What a shame.

He was a brilliant surgeon.

Oh, he seems to have

adjusted very well.

I've never seen anything

phase that man.

I once saw him operate on two

emergency cases at the same

time.

Quite a doctor.

Well, you must have been

quite a doctor yourself

"boy wonder."

Actually, that name was

given to me by the...

Nurses.

Oh.

Oh!

Excuse me.

Oh...I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I was just looking for my

make-up.

Make-up?

You don't need it.

How can you improve on

perfection?

Well, thank you.

Listen...

Could I interest you in the moon?

Huh?

I'm an expert on the moon.

Really.

I'll tell you what, meet me on

the promenade deck tonight at

eleven o'clock...And I'll point

it out to you.

Oh...well, I'll have to

have time to think about that.

I just thought about it.

I'll see you at eleven.

Ah, excuse me, could you tell me

if Gwen winters has come on

board yet?

Not yet.

Oh, well, when you see her,

could you ask her to call me

in my cabin right away?

I'd be glad to.

But first you're gonna have to

tell me who you are.

Oh...sorry.

Carol...carol gilmore.

Oh, yes.

Are you and miss winters

travelling together?

Sort of.

We're old friends from college

and she's engaged now and she's

coming on board with her fiance.

Hey.

Gwen (o.C.): Carol?

Gwen!

How are you?

You made it.

Hey.

Well, where is he?

Where is the victim?

He should be here.

Wait'll you meet him.

You're gonna love him.

Uh-huh.

And if I don't, we can always

find you somebody else.

Isn't it fabulous.

It's gonna be such a romantic

cruise.

Yes.

I was just thinking the same

thing myself.

Captain stubing!

Yes?

Ah, your copy of the

passenger list, sir.

Thank you. Mr. Smith.

Mr. and Mrs....

What's this?

Marmalade, sir.

Mr.and Mrs. Marmalade.

No, it's just plain

marmalade.

I was going over the list at

breakfast.

Here's your copy of the weather

report.

Thank you.

Southwesterly winds, five knots,

light seas and a possible

increase in....

Maple syrup.

When I told you I

wanted you to eat, sleep and

drink your work, I meant it as a

figure of speech.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

Yes, well, from now on

bring me reports with less

calories.

Oh, captain, are you

always so informal with your

crew, captain?

Well, I'm not exactly

captain bligh...Mr...

Schmidt...karl schmidt.

Ah, herr schmidt.

Tell me captain, do you

like your job here?

Like it?

I love it.

Why?

Because you may not

have it much longer.

Carol.

Oh, hi.

Well, where is he?

Don't tell me you've broken up

already?

He's not getting away.

He's one in a million.

Well, he certainly must be.

Conservative old Gwen marrying a

man she's only known a couple of

months.

Well, when you meet Mr. Right,

you know it.

I was just thinking the

same thing myself.

Don't tell me.

Hm-hm.

I met someone.

And you think he's Mr. Right?

Well, he may not be Mr. Right

but he is certainly Mr. Smooth.

We barely met when he asked me

for a stroll in the moonlight.

Well, where is he?

Don't tell me you broke up

already.

Oh, Gwen, wait till you

see him.

You will go absolutely bananas.

Here comes Paul.

Paul..

Hi, hon. Hi.

Well, my two favorite

people finally meet.

Carol...right?

Gwen's told me so much about you,

I feel I...Already know you.

Yes,

I feel I know you

already, too.

Well...isn't...isn't this

wonderful?

All the sun and everything?

Yeah.

I'll bet it's really something

in the moonlight, as well.

Bet it is.

Anybody for margaritas?

Me.

I'll get 'em.

No talking behind my back.

He's trying a little too

hard.

But you do like him, don't you?

Yeah.

Sure.

Something you don't like

about him?

Let me work on it.

Mr. Schmidt?

May I sit down?

Oh, by all means, herr

kapitan.

Thank you.

This morning you said something

that...

I must say has left me a bit disturbed.

Oh, that...That you may

not have your job much longer?

Yes.

Forgive my bluntness, but...What

exactly are we talking about?

Nothing sinister, I

assure you.

Tell me captain stubing, have

you ever heard of a ship called

the Lorelei?

That's like asking a

quarterback if he's ever heard

of the Superbowl.

It's only the finest luxury

liner afloat.

Have you ever seen her?

Yes.

Once.

They broke the mold when they

built that ship.

If she were a painting, she'd be

hanging in the louvre.

Then what would you say,

captain stubing, if someone

told you that you are being

considered for the...

Captain of the Lorelei?

What would I say?

Any captain would sell his soul

to stand on that bridge.

I represent the owners

of the Lorelei, captain.

And you are being considered for

the position.

And my feeling is...

That you're our man.

You're serious?

Quite serious.

Carol!

I've been looking for you.

We have to talk.

Do we?

Yes.

There you are.

Please keep our date

tonight.

It's important.

Hi, I...

Was just picking up some magazines.

Well, don't be long.

I don't want to waste this

sunshine.

So, Carol, where's Mr.

Smooth?

Oh...things got a little

rougher once I got to know him.

It seems that he...He has a

girl.

Ah, that's too bad.

That never stopped you in high

school.

You were on the top of the

senior girl's enemies' list.

This isn't like you.

You used to get anybody you

wanted.

Yes, well, life is much

more complicated than high

school.

You...coming with us,

Carol?

Ah, no thanks.

Postcard time.

We'll see you for dinner,

won't we?

Hm-hm.

For sure.

Bye.

Look, she likes you.

I know.

She'll warm up to you.

You'll see.

I remember the first time I

assisted at one of your

operations.

Las Vegas show girl,

appendectomy.

How could you possibly

remember that?

Well, for one thing, it

was the first time I ever saw a

patient asked out for dinner in

the middle of an operation.

I bet she would have said yes,

if she'd been awake.

You know, Adam, you were

almost as good with that scalpel

as you were with the ladies.

You would have made a damn fine

surgeon.

Well, I guess my heart was

always in general practice.

You know what they say

about gp's?

In this age of increasing

accomplishment...

The gp learns less and less about more and

more, until finally he knows

nothing about everything.

While the specialist learns

more and more about less and

less till finally he knows

everything about nothing.

Touché.

But why here?

Well, what's wrong with

here?

Well...look around you.

This isn't exactly the front

lines of medicine.

I mean there's important work to

be done, lives to be saved.

And here you are, Adam.

Lying in the sun.

Giving aspirin to vacationing debutantes.

Now what kind of professional

accomplishment can you get from

that?

Well, it's not all aspirins

and sunburn.

We've had emergency cases.

Adam,

get the most out of life that you can.

You never know when it might

suddenly be taken away from you.

See you later.

The captain's in the

running for skipper of the

Lorelei?

Huh?

You sure you heard that right?

Positive.

I majored in eavesdropping at

bartender's school.

It'll be kinda sad losing

the captain.

Yeah.

But what a break for him.

Yeah.

Well, when does he find out if

he gets the job?

Well, I think it all

depends how much he impresses

schmidt on this cruise.

Well, then let's make

sure the captain does impress

herr schmidt, huh?

Ooh, look, dear,

there's a bridge tournament

later and a shore excursion in

the morning.

I think it's wonderful how you

manage to entertain so many

people so well.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

Actually, it's the right

captain that makes or breaks a

cruise.

If you're having a good time,

it's the captain you should

thank.

We'll do that.

The next time we see him.

Well, just turn around.

Ooh, captain.

Yes?

Captain, we want to just

compliment you on the

beautiful job you're doing

making all of us feel so

comfortable.

Thank you very much.

Excuse me, captain, would

you sign this for me, please?

Of course.

Thank you, sir.

Ah, thank you again,

Mr. and Mrs. Magwich.

Ralph, he remembered our name.

Nice to have you aboard again.

The third time, isn't it?

Captain, I'm impressed with your

passenger relations.

Well...

To think that you

remembered their names.

Oh, it's nothing.

May I buy you a drink, herr

kline?

Oh, thank you.

And the name is schmidt.

Dr. Akers,

I understand you were a

pioneer in open heart surgical

techniques.

It must be very satisfying for

you knowing that you've saved

many lives that would have been

lost twenty years ago.

Well,thank you very much captain,

it's the job of a doctor to save lives.

Although I've noticed lately

some of my colleagues are much

more interested in...

Having a good time.

I used to be much more handy

with a knife.

Here, let me help.

I don't need any help.

Thank you.

If this steak were a patient,

we'd have to notify the next of

kin.

Excuse me, captain stubing sir,

sorry to interrupt,

but we have an emergency that

requires your immediate

attention.

What kind of emergency,

gopher?

I'd rather not say, sir.

No need to alarm the passengers.

Oh...just the captain,

hm?

Duty calls.

Excuse me, ladies and

gentlemen.

Isn't the captain

magnificent?

I don't know what we'd do

what's happening, miss

McCoy?

Oh, the digiplot computer

is out of order.

And captain stubing's gonna have

to navigate by the stars, like

they did in the old days.

I imagine we won't see

more of the captain this

evening.

Well, you never can tell.

The man is a wiz with electronic

equipment.

He knows how to repair it?

The man's a genius.

Oh...excuse me, won't you?

That is the emergency?

You took me away from my dinner

guests to show me a nail

sticking out of a rail?

Yes, sir.

How do you think we ought to

handle it?

I suggest that you find

a hammer and hit the nail until

it is no longer sticking out.

Oh, why didn't I think

of that?

I guess that's how you got to be

captain and I didn't.

This isn't like Carol.

She's never late.

Honey, she'll show.

Have your soup, it'll get cold.

I was hoping you two would

like each other.

Gwen, I think she's super.

I'm glad.

I'll bet I know what it is.

What what is?

Carol.

She's probably still upset about

that guy.

What guy?

She met him when she was

coming on board.

Apparently he turned out to be a

real creep.

Oh...

Well we really shouldn't judge.

Believe me, if he hurt Carol,

he's a creep.

I'm sorry it took so long.

Back so soon?

Well, everything's back

to normal.

Oh, you fixed it.

Yes.

Just needed a few whacks with a

hammer.

Good as new.

Dr. Akers

glad I ran into you.

I was wonder,

would you like me to show you

and Mrs. Akers around

puerto vallarta tomorrow?

Well, thank you very much,

Adam.

But I think I'll spend the day

lying on deck with the other

invalids.

Art...

But, thank you very much,

Adam for the offer.

I'm glad to see that you're

branching out.

Part time doctor.

Part time tour operator.

Not bad.

Well, Dr. Akers,

goodnight.

I'm sorry.

He gets like this sometimes.

He doesn't mean the things he

says.

I don't know him anymore.

Surgery is his whole life.

It's the only thing he ever

wanted to do.

Since the accident...

He feels useless.

But he's not useless.

With his surgical knowledge,

he could teach at any medical

school in the country.

He could write books.

I know.

I've tried to tell him, he won't

listen to me.

He won't listen to anyone.

I keep hoping that in time.

I'm sorry you had to see him

like this.

He was always so fond of you.

If there's anything I can do.

No, I'm afraid there's

nothing anybody can do.

Good night.

Goodnight, Mrs. Akers.

So there you are.

I thought maybe you ran off with

the charming Dr. Bricker.

Why did you have to be so

rough on him?

Oh, come on.

I was just kidding.

You know I wish this ship had

television.

I'd like to watch a re-run of

the fugitive and root for the

one-armed man.

Please, art, no more jokes.

Well, you know what they say,

darling.

Laughter is the best

medicine.

After all, it's the only kind of

medicine I'm practicing these

days.

Carol?

Where have you been?

Why didn't you join us for

dinner?

Oh...I'm not hungry.

All right.

Out with it.

What don't you like about him?

Oh, nothing.

You're just imagining things.

Carol...

Look, believe me, it's

not important.

It's very important to me.

I'm gonna be spending the rest

of my life with this guy.

Well, remember you're the

one that dragged this out of

me.

Go on.

Well...

Your fiancé and I bumped into

each other before you came on board.

So?

He's the man that asked

me out for a date tonight.

No.

I'm supposed to meet him

on the promenade deck

at...eleven.

I don't believe you.

Well, why would I lie?

Paul wouldn't do that.

Why don't you go up to

the promenade deck and see for

yourself.

I just might do that.

Hey, I thought only

dentists were allowed to look

down in the mouth.

And I thought only henny

youngman was allowed to make bad

jokes.

Well, I'll stop if you will.

What's wrong?

Oh...nothing.

Oh, it's just something Dr.

Akers said.

I don't think he's very

impressed with the job I do

here.

Why do you care so much what

dr.akers thinks?

Oh, gopher, the man was a

giant.

You could fit my whole career on

his thumbnail.

Well hey, you're a giant

in your own right, too.

I mean every port we've ever

anchored in there are women who speak

your name with awed whispers.

Thanks.

Come on.

I've always wanted to dance with

a living legend.

Okay, I'll dance with you.

I didn't mean you.

You mean there's another

living legend here tonight.

I know.

But we really weren't helping.

Doc needs some time to figure

things out for himself.

Ah, there might be

somebody else we could help.

Oh, good evening, herr schmidt.

Oh, good evening, miss McCoy.

Mr. Smith.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Call me Julie.

Thank you Julie.

I'm gopher.

Gopher?

Hey, there's something I can do for you?

Oh, no, sir, we're here

to do things for you.

Yes.

The captain insists that a good

passenger is a happy passenger.

Hm...

A happy passenger is a good,

a good happy passenger is

good...happy.

I see.

Your captain must be a truly

remarkable man.

Oh, he is.

We all know that it's just a

matter of time before some smart

far-sighted cruise mind just

grabs him and moves him onto

bigger and better things.

You know, it's quite a

coincidence that you should

mention that.

Because I represent the owners

of a ship called the Lorelei,

whose captain is about to

resign.

You're kidding.

Did you hear that?

He's from the Lorelei.

Doesn't that beat all.

And they are looking

for the right man to take over

the captaincy.

He must be authoritive.

Oh, captain stubing is

very authoritive.

Exceedingly authoritive.

Understanding.

Except when he's being

understanding, then he's being

understanding and authoritive

authoritive with...With

understanding.

Our captain must be strong.

Oh, captain stubing's

very strong.

He has a lot of...

Yeah...yeah tactful.

Strong tactfulness.

That's what captain stubing's

got.

In fact, the captain

must care for his ship like a

mother.

Well, captain stubing is a real..

Hey...

Wait captain stubbing is a great dancer.

Sometimes we call him the dancing skipper.

And other times we just call him

old soft shoe stubing.

Sometimes just happy feet.

Are you still there?

I'm still here.

But what happened to Paul?

Well, maybe he got cold feet.

Or maybe you just can't

stand to see two people happy

together.

Hey, I'm your best friend.

I don't want him to show up as

much as you do.

Carol?

Sorry.

I've been trying to get

you alone all day.

You must think I'm a heel, huh?

Huh-uh.

First class.

Well, it's quite nice to

be tops in your field.

Look, I don't have much of an

explanation, except that some of

my friends threw me a farewell

party.

They were kidding me about all

the fun I was gonna miss on this

cruise now that I'm practically

an old married man.

Anyway, I guess it kind of got

to me because when I saw you

i...

You thought you'd have a

fling with me.

Uh-huh.

With the most beautiful girl I

could find.

Of course, one minute after I

made the date, I was sorry.

'Cause Gwen means everything to me.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I,

won't be meeting you

or anybody else in the

moonlight.

I mean that Carol.

I'm very much in love with your best

friend.

Yayyyy...

Hey, Gwen, you were absolutely right!

Ah...

Oh, I think that you,

no, we've got a problem.

Yes,

a problem.

Ah, captain stubing.

Yes.

Oh, captain.

It was a great idea your changing course

like that.

It's like sailing on glass.

He's incredible, isn't he?

Ah, excuse me.

Pina coladas, gentlemen?

Oh, thank you.

Oh, too bad.

Ever since the captain

suggesting adding grenadine, we

haven't been able to make enough

of these.

Mr. Smith.

Miss McCoy.

What's come over you two?

Us?

I think I know,

captain.

They're obviously trying to help

you make a good impression so I

will hire you for the Lorelei.

That's impossible.

I haven't told anyone about

that.

Crews have a way of

finding out these things.

Is that what you were doing?

I apologize for them,

herr schmidt.

Oh, please don't,

captain.

Crew loyalty is an excellent

sign.

Although I've already made my

decision.

The job is yours...

If you want it.

Captain, you did it!

Congratulations, sir.

You're gonna be a biggie.

Wait a minute.

I haven't said yes yet.

Oh, but you will, won't

you?

Of course he will.

If he didn't, he'd be a stupid jerk.

Uh...

A less than intelligent person.

In my opinion.

Now what am I gonna do?

Lorna darling...

It's time for breakfast.

Keep up this pace and we'll be,

we'll be late for dinner.

Go ahead.

I'm not hungry anyway.

I'd rather spend the morning in

you want me to roam

around the decks all alone?

All by myself?

I'm sure you'll find

something to do.

Ah, I'm sure I will.

Maybe I'll find a bridge game

that's short a hand.

Oh thanks.

Any luck?

She won't even talk to me.

I nearly banged in her cabin

door.

I phoned.

Even laid in wait for her in the

passageway, but she gave me the

brush.

I don't know what to do.

It's all my fault.

No, you were only looking

out for your friend.

I'm sorry.

And to think I was afraid

you two wouldn't get along.

Oh...

Gwen..you're making a mistake.

Paul is a...A wonderful guy.

Then you take him.

Adam?

Hello.

Hi.

I was wondering if you could

refill this prescription for me.

Well, let's have a look.

I've been having a little

trouble.

This was just filled a week

ago.

Fifty pills.

I...i spilled them in the

sink.

They got a little wet.

I threw them out.

Very clumsy of me.

Oh, well, nobody's perfect.

Do you mind if I get them to you

a little later.

Don't you have any here?

Well, I don't have that

much call for Diazepam.

And they're below.

I'll have to dig them out.

But I promise you'll have them

before the end of the day.

Good.

That'll be just fine.

Thank you.

Thank you, Adam.

Quite all right.

In that case, I'll

take a piece of that.

Mr. Smith!

Yes?

I will not stand for

dawdling when we have passengers

who may be needing your

assistance.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, but I was just

telling a joke, sir.

See this.

Ah, if we want jokes, I'll

hire Bob hope.

Get back to work.

And forget the ad-libbing.

And you, Mr. Washington.

Did you forget your

breakfast this morning?

Or are you planning on eating up

all our profits?

Captain!

It's a beautiful day today,

isn't it?

Well, thank you for the

weather report.

But I would prefer your report

on the guest entertainers for

next week.

Your report that is two days

late.

Good morning.

Captain?

Yes?

Weren't you a bit severe?

When I command a ship I

do things my way.

But, you can't...

And I would greatly

appreciate it if you would tend

to your business and allow me to

tend to mine.

In short, herr schmidt bug off.

Good afternoon.

And welcome to Puerta vallarta.

All those wishing to go

para-sailing meet on the Karl

deck gangway in ten minutes.

Dr. Akers.

Oh, hello, Adam.

How are you?...

How is medical Disneyland?

Any confetti overdoses today?

Um...

Mrs. Akers asked me to refill

this prescription this morning.

So?

Well, tranquilizers are

easy to become dependent on, and

in my opinion...

I wrote that prescription

for lorna after the accident.

You think you have any

qualifications to second guess

me?

Well, I'm not trying to

second guess anyone.

Lorna has had difficulty

relaxing.

She takes these to help her.

Is that so difficult for you to

understand?

I think maybe you ought to stick

to what you're qualified for, Adam,

and leave the medicine to

the real doctors.

Hi.

Can I help you?

I have an appointment

with the doctor.

Oh.

The doctor isn't in right now

and he didn't mention any

appointments this afternoon.

I'm early.

I'll just wait in the

examination room.

Oh well, certainly.

I guess that will be fine.

Is anything the matter?

I just...Stumbled.

I'll see the doctor some other

time.

I don't know what's

gotten into the captain.

I heard he almost fired a member

of the crew today for wearing a

dirty uniform.

Oh, well, neatness is

important.

For a guy who greases

engines?

I think this job

opportunity is getting to him.

He is trying so hard to impress

schmidt.

He could louse himself up.

Well, it's up to us to

tell him.

Give him some advice, huh?

That's exactly what we

should do.

Yeah.

Am I late for the

afternoon coffee break?

Call us when you've

spoken to him, McCoy.

Excuse me.

Sir...

These people...

You have to stay on their tails

constantly.

Ya...

You still haven't given us your

answer, captain stubing.

Are you accepting our offer?

Ahhh...oh,

excuse me,

Mr. Powell, I need to talk to you.

Adam?...

Adam...

I'm sorry I blew up at you. I know you meant well.

But, I'm just not

qualified.

Oh, come on, now.

I didn't mean that.

Arthur...

I don't feel very well.

Lorna!

What's the matter?

Oh...

Lorna!

It hurts.

Can you walk?

Help me, please.

Go down to my office.

Ask the nurse for my medical kit

and bring it to your cabin.

Maybe all she needs is to

lie down for awhile.

Don't argue.

Go.

Come on.

Well?

Your wife is suffering from

withdrawal.

Withdrawal?

You mean that she's addicted to

Diazepam?

You're gonna be just fine,

Mrs. Akers.

I never realized.

She said they helped her.

She must have been boosting

the dosage substantially to be

affected like this.

And I kept writing those

prescriptions.

I never thought of keeping

track.

Well, sometimes we're too

close to a problem to be able to

see it clearly.

But I should have been

able to see it.

I'm a doctor, aren't I?

Or I was a doctor.

I guess I'm not much of anything

anymore.

Do you know what it feels like

to wake up in a hospital room

and find out that your life is

over?

Well, I do.

I'm about as useful as a...

As an airplane with one wing.

All because of your wife.

Say it, Arthur!

For god's sake, will you finally

say it?

I'm responsible for your life

being over.

I insisted on driving that

night.

You would have seen that station

wagon before it was too late.

No, lorna, I never

thought that way.

I can't stand it anymore.

I can't face what I've done to

you.

You pretend it doesn't bother

you.

You make jokes about it.

Please...

No more jokes.

No more.

No more.

I'll be in my office.

Come on.

Cheer up.

How?

How am I supposed to live my

life without Gwen?

Come on.

Can I get you something

to drink?

You can get me something

to throw.

Look, I know you're sore

at them, but...

You're only hurting yourself.

What business is it of

yours?

How do you figure that?

Well, all they ever talk

about is you.

I can imagine what they say.

Basically, they say that

they both care for you very

much.

Well, they sure have a

funny way of showing it.

May I have this dance?

You lead very well.

They think they're gonna

get away with this?

Over my dead body.

Ah, excuse me.

If there's going to be a fight,

why don't you take him

and I'll handle her.

You have some nerve

hitting on my best friend.

And you.

You led him on.

You know I wouldn't do a

thing like that.

You just said I was your best

friend.

Was is the key word.

She is your friend.

All she tried to do was protect

you from me.

And a good thing, too.

We all know what kind of person

you turned out to be.

Well, I have to go now.

Now, hold it!

I've had enough!

I'm up to here with this.

Carol is not my type at all.

Don't you insult my friend.

Hey...

What's wrong with my type?

Nothing.

I like you very much.

Ha!

Then you can have her!

Listen, honey, when I

want a man, I'll get him for

myself.

I don't need your leftovers.

Leftovers!

Paul is a very desirable,

handsome, terrific guy...

Any woman would love to get her

hands on him.

Oh, she wanted you.

Until you made a complete jerk

out of yourself.

Now you owe her an apology.

Listen, I don't have to

apologize to her.

I happen to love her.

Well, I love her, too.

Oh, yeah?

Well...

You guys.

Don't you just love

happy endings.

Come in.

Ah, good evening,

doctor.

Captain?

Ah, re...Retiring

early?

Working late.

Yes, well...

I don't want to interrupt.

It wasn't important.

Merrill.

The big decisions are never

easy, are they?

You know about the Lorelei,

too?

I think there's one crew

member that doesn't and he's on

shore leave.

What would you do?

Ah-ah...that's too easy.

Doesn't it depend on what you

want out of life?

Health.

Happiness.

Love.

Success?

What is success?

Hm...

Believe me, that's something

I've been thinking about all

week.

But I think you just answered

your own question.

Hm?

Health.

Happiness.

And love.

Arthur?

I'm right here, baby.

I'm so sorry I made that

scene before.

Shh...shh.

You need sleep.

Maybe you'd be better off

without me.

Baby...

It was an accident.

It was nobody's fault.

I was so busy feeling sorry for myself,

I didn't see what was

happening to you.

And I'm sorry....

Lorna, I know I said my life

was over.

Well, I was wrong.

But my life will be over the day

that I lose you and I'm not...

I'm not going to let that

happen.

Ever.

Yes?

May I come in?

Oh, please do.

How's Mrs. Akers doing?

She's sleeping.

Adam, I want to apologize to

you.

Oh, please.

You don't have to.

I want to.

I realize I've been criticizing you for

the way you've been using your

medical training, while I have

been using mine to turn my wife

into a drug addict.

Well, we both know it's not

as simple as that.

Drug dependence is a very

complex problem.

Any drug can be abused and there

are human factors involved.

As a doctor, I shouldn't

have let it happen.

It happens, but you can

still help her.

Not only as a doctor, but as a

husband.

I'll see that she gets

the best medical treatment there is.

I know of a clinic in los

Angeles that does very good

work.

But she's gonna have to work,too.

Adam,

thank you.

Oh, look what time it is.

I hate to push you out, but I do

need my beauty sleep.

Thank you.

I'm sure you have enjoyed everything.

We've had the most beautiful weather, we've had before.

(Both talking)

Excuse me, captain.

Yes?

Mr. and Mrs. Conroy

are celebrating their

fortieth anniversary this

evening, and I took the Liberty

of saying that you'd join them

for a moment.

McCoy, if I joined

every couple celebrating their

anniversary, I'd never have a

second to myself.

Captain stubing, i'm

saving this dance just for you.

Thanks for the warning.

Herr schmidt, please

forgive captain stubing.

He's not himself.

Miss McCoy.

Really, he never behaves

like this.

He's actually a wonderful, kind,

friendly man.

You're overstepping.

Do you read me?

And everybody loves him.

Well, it's true.

He's only reacting to

the pressure that I've put on

him.

Believe me, Julie...It would

take more than this for me to

change my mind about captain

stubing.

That's what I was afraid of.

The truth is I don't want the

job.

But, sir.

The Lorelei is everybody's idea

of success.

But your idea of

success is something else?

Yes.

To me there is nothing more

successful than this ship,

and this crew.

So, if you'll excuse me, I think

I'd like to celebrate with the

conroys and boogie with Mrs...

Haskell.

Thank you.

Again.

You are fortunate to

have such a man as captain

stubing.

Now tell us something we

don't know.

Isaac, thank you.

Ah.

If it weren't for you,

I might be leaving alone.

And thank you dear Isaac,

for all your really good

advice.

And I want to thank you,

too.

Well, what for?

I dunno.

I just hate to be left out.

Bye.

Bye bye.

Adam.

Thank you for the name of the

clinic.

Oh, don't mention it.

But don't expect lorna's problem

to disappear overnight.

I don't.

And it's our problem.

And we'll solve it together.

Adam.

I'm so glad we didn't miss you.

What can I say?

We're leaving this ship with a

whole new lease on life.

Ahhh.

Did Arthur tell you.

He's going to write a book on

surgical techniques.

I want the first copy that

rolls off the presses.

Suitably autographed, of course.

Of course.

"To Adam bricker.

The boy wonder."

Never has an intern taught so

much to a chief surgeon..

That didn't want to learn."

See us again.

Thank you for sailing with us.

Auf wiedersehn,

captain.

Auf wiedersehn, herr

schmidt.

I sincerely hope you find the

right captain for the Lorelei.

Well, I found him,

and I lost him...

But I'm sure your crew will

agree that it does not show

weakness in a man to know what

he wants in life.

And when he's got it...To stick with it.

Captain stubing, I salute you.

Welcome home, sir.

Yeah, welcome home,

captain.

Thank you.
