Joey, this is your first job, and I want to make sure

you don't mess things up, understand?

Don't worry, Eddie.

When a client welshes on a loan, the boss don't like it.

The boss says this bum's got to be taught a lesson.

No sweat. I'll give him a real good talking-to.

Look, Joey, you ain't hired to talk.

This guy needs a little roughing up.

Gotcha.

[ Sighs ]

Here -- I wrote it down for you.

His name's Tony battochio.

Uh-huh.

And, Joey, take care of him

or don't come back.

Hi. Can you tell me where I'm supposed to be?

Well, that all depends on who you are.

Oh, I bet you're with the Anderson party.

You're on -- for 100 bucks.

Pay up -- you lose.

You don't want her money.

The last batch she printed

didn't even have the right picture on it.

I keep telling her it's ulysses Grant, not Cary Grant.

Well, I'm with you.

I'd rather look at Cary Grant any day.

I'm Julie McCoy, and this is Isaac Washington.

You're, uh...

Well, on your list,

it's antoinette Valentino Renee carmela Francesca battochio.

I hope you don't have a personalized license plate.

That could block traffic.

Oh, here you are.

Yes, you're on the aloha deck, cabin 206, miss battochio.

Thanks. Oh, and everybody calls me "Tony."

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Did April get here yet?

Yeah. We thought we heard a cuchi-cuchi.

No, not yet.

Besides, when April boards, you always know it.

The ship always shakes a little.

I think I'm beginning to feel a little tremor now.

Aaaah! capitán, capitán.

April!

Vicki!

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Julie!

You're a sight for sore eyes.

It must be the smog, 'cause my eyes hurt, too.

April, we're so glad you're here to perform for us again.

Yes, welcome home, April.

Thank you.

I expect to see you at my table for dinner.

Oh, you mean we are not eating out tonight?

No. My table for dinner.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

[ Child screaming ]

I'll get you!

Julie, help me!

Hold on. Just be calm.

Ay chihuahua!

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Oh, there they are. Children!

Miss Chadwick, I hired you to take care of them.

You don't need a governess.

You need a u.N. Peacekeeping force.

Um, I'm Mr. Younger.

Have my children been bothering you?

Oh, no.

Now my guitar is just like my English -- broken.

All right.

Which of you did that, hmm?

I didn't mean it.

It was her fault for chasing me.

I'm very sorry.

I apologize for the way my children have acted.

They're only acting?

I can't wait to see the real thing.

I'll take care of everything, miss.

Just let us get them settled in their cabins, okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

And, uh, let's try to keep them under control.

Have you got my nerve gas?

Don't worry, April. He'll make good on that promise.

Do you know who that is?

No. Who?

That's Ty younger.

He's the biggest sportscaster in the business.

That's great for him,

but what's April supposed to use to perform with tonight?

Uh...no problem, Julie. Not to worry. I can fix it.

For a girl who earns her living with a guitar,

you don't seem very upset.

Well, that is what I wanted to tell you.

I am quitting show business.

Goodbye, current boss.

What are you talking about?!

Why?!

I got my reason. I tell you later.

It is a long short story.

[ Sighs ]

Hello! Gopher Smith's my name, assistant purser's my game.

This here's our sawbones, Dr. Bricker.

Arnold Simmons, Kansas City. This is my wife, flora...

How do you do?

Hello.

...and our daughter, Cindy.

Hello.

We would like to sign up for all of your side trips.

Take it easy, Cindy. We just got onboard.

Why don't I start you out with a couple brochures?

Oh, that would be great. Come on.

Thank you so much for bringing me on this trip.

You have a ball.

I will.

Whoa, whoa!

You've got my bag.

I'm sorry.

They look exactly alike.

And they told me mine was one of a kind.

I'm sorry about that.

No, that's okay. Bye.

Well, anyway, puerto vallarta, right?

Oh, doctor, I'm really thankful

for this opportunity to talk to you alone.

I was just concerned over your medical facilities.

Can you take blood tests?

Blood tests -- yes, of course.

Is there a medical problem?

Just something we want to keep an eye on.

Oh, please, feel free anytime, night or day, to call me

if there's anything I can do to help you, sir.

It's not me.

It's my daughter, Cindy.

I see.

Hey, let's find our cabin.

Thanks!

Bye-bye!

[ Air horn blows ]

Here you go -- another instant refill.

Oh, thanks, Isaac.

I think I'll try my friend again.

Yeah, hi.

Could you ring me Tony battochio's cabin, please?

Hi.

Hi.

I think I'll have one of those.

Right.

No answer, huh?

No, that's all right. I'll try again later.

Thanks.

Hey, peanuts, that's my seat.

Mmm, sorry.

No, that's okay.

I just didn't want you to take my drink.

Wouldn't want to get Isaac in trouble for serving a minor.

You find your friend?

No, no. He's still not in the cabin.

Ah. Here you go.

Thanks.

Hey, I sure guessed right when I called you "peanuts."

You really like those things, don't you?

Yeah. I think I've got a salt tooth.

I used to go with a guy that loved peanuts.

He was always throwing them up in the air

and catching them in his mouth.

Who can't do that?

Bet you can't.

You're on.

Well, now, wait a minute. If we're gonna bet, let's bet.

$10, $20?

No, I don't gamble money.

I work too hard for it.

What do you do?

I'm, uh, sort of like a physical therapist.

Sort of like you straighten people out?

Exactly. My name's Joey delmont.

Mmm, hi, Joey.

My name's not that simple.

Ready?

Mm-hmm.

It's antoinette Valentino Renee --

wait, wait, wait. Hold it, hold it. Timeout.

I don't think I can remember all that.

I'll just call you "peanuts."

Okay.

I still can't believe you're quitting show business.

Oh, yes.

Yeah, April. What's that all about?

I thought you wanted to become a star.

I am a star -- a falling star.

But what about your boyfriend, Tex?

I thought he got you a job in Las Vegas.

Some job.

And by the way, Tex is not my boyfriend anymore.

You got that?

Got it.

You know what they wanted for me to do?

They want me to sing and play the guitar...

Naked!

April, that's terrible.

I know.

Yeah, at least they could have given you a cello.

Ha! Qué simpático.

I was just trying to make things lighter.

I know. Listen, I know all of you are my good friends,

and you want to help me, but let's face it.

Show business is not for me.

One night here, one night there.

I don't like to live in motels

and eat alone in restaurants.

You know what I want? You really want to know?

I want a home.

I want children.

Ohh.

Now, you come back here.

Oh, are you sure about that -- children?

I said no swimming without my permission!

Now, come on!

I am gonna tell your father on you!

You are driving me crazy.

Aaahhh!

Well, maybe -- maybe just a home.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

No children.

Salud.

Salud.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, watch it.

Hi, there.

Hi. I'm sorry.

Don't be. I'm glad you dropped in.

I'm sorry I left my bag sitting out there like that.

No, it was my fault.

I guess I don't have my sea legs yet.

Well, the ones you're using look just fine to me.

Hi, i-I'm Paul Harris.

And I bought my one-of-a-kind red bag in Denver.

Where'd you get yours?

Kansas City. And I'm Cindy Simmons.

Well, you have great taste in luggage.

Hi. Your daughter seems to be getting on just fine.

Could you join us, Dr. Bricker?

Oh, of course.

Yes, Cindy might look and feel fine, super,

but it's only because she's -- well, she's...

She's in remission, doctor.

She has leukemia.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

The physicians at home, they insisted that we tell you.

Of course.

I'm sure they'd want me to check her white-cell count

to guard against infection.

Well, what's their prognosis?

It's not good.

She could live a year, two years, maybe even more,

or it could be six months.

She certainly is a brave young lady.

Cindy doesn't know.

She thinks she has it licked.

Hi.

Hi.

You know everybody here, right?

Well, I try. Why?

I'm looking for this guy, Tony, um...

Ooh.

Never mind. I'll get back to you later.

Okay.

Hi. Ooh, you look très chic.

Who -- me?

You look très chic, mademoiselle peanuts.

Have a seat.

Ooh, wait. Let me help you. I know you've had a hard day.

What are you, crazy or something? Come on, sit down.

How was your business meeting?

Oh, I haven't found him yet,

but when I do, I'll bet he doesn't look as good as you.

Mmm.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

I can't tell you how wonderful it is

to have you with us again, April.

Well, try it anyhow.

Julie told us that you were thinking about giving up show business?

Yes, but don't worry, Vicki.

I'll always be willing to come and sing on the ship.

But what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Well, I know you'll be successful at whatever you undertake.

Undertaker? Ha!

No way. Nope.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

Well, I must admit that your conduct at dinner

has been better than it was this afternoon.

Sorry about today, dad.

And when I'm away next week covering the fight,

i don't want you giving miss Chadwick any trouble, okay?

We'll be good, dad.

[ Children shouting ]

If you want to cover a fight,

you should stay home with the children.

Can I go, too, dad?

I just love fights.

No. If you keep acting up, you might be seeing my left hook.

[ Laughs ] That's your right.

Yes, I know.

Just wanted to see if they were on their toes.

What are we having for dessert?

I'll just have something light.

I'll have a hot-fudge sundae

with vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream,

maybe a little marshmallow

but not too heavy on the whipped cream.

I'll have the same.

Me too.

Oh, no, dears. You should have gelatin.

It's better for you.

No, I want ice cream.

I'll have ice cream.

Cherry gelatin --

mmm, mmm! Yummy!

Dad, that's not fair.

Why can she have it?

All right, all right!

I think we could all use some fresh air, yes?

Oh, here. Let us help you, miss Chadwick.

Why, aren't you dears?

Thank you.

[ Clanging ]

You were terrific!

Thank you so much!

I second the motion.

Muchas gracias.

So, how do you like me?

Not bad, especially that "cuchi-cuchi" part.

[ Giggles ]

Yes, well, you're not exactly a captain kangaroo.

Nobody's perfect.

Ah, miss Chadwick, I think the children have had a full day,

and I'll be with you shortly.

I have some business to discuss with miss Lopez.

I'll bet.

Good night, children.

Bye!

Bye-bye!

Bye!

They are so nice.

Mucho mischief, but I like that.

After what they did to you today?

Well, kids will be children.

Well, yes, but they did a lot of damage.

And while we're on the subject,

why did you return the check I sent to your cabin?

$500 is too much for a guitar I am not going to use again.

But I don't understand. You're an entertainer.

No more -- you have just seen my farewell performance,

my last show, my duck song.

Uh, swan.

Yes, I "swan" it was my duck song.

[ Light dance music plays ]

So, tell me about living in Denver, way up in the rockies.

It sounds so beautiful.

Oh, it is.

I'm crazy about mountain climbing.

I mean, whenever I have any spare time,

I just go climb something.

Then what are you doing on an ocean cruise?

You don't meet many pretty girls

hanging on the side of a mountain.

I'll bet the rockies would be beautiful to paint.

Are you an artist?

Well, I'm studying to be.

Someday I'd like to live in a garret in Paris

and paint and paint.

Someday I'd like to climb the matterhorn.

[ Sighs ]

I'd really love to create something

that would live forever.

I don't think I want to live forever.

But I could take 100 years like tonight.

Thank you, sir.

You got it. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Yeah, hello.

Could you ring me Tony battochio's cabin, please?

Thank you.

No answer?

Look, could you tell me what cabin he's in?

Maybe I'll pop in on him a little later.

Yeah, wait. Hold on a second. Let me write that down.

Hey, peanuts, you got a pen?

Oh, uh, will lipstick do?

Yeah, that's great.

Here you go.

Let me lean on your back. What's that number again?

Thanks.

I don't know why that guy bothered to even pay for a cabin.

He's never in it.

Maybe he got lucky, like I did.

Yeah, maybe.

Your wife pick up and left you?

Poof! She walk out?

Yes, over a year ago.

Wow!

Well, she wanted a career of her own.

Ha! And she has stuck you.

I mean, she left you with the children.

Well, they've always been high-spirited kids,

but since then, they've gotten a little out of hand.

Sure. They feel neglected with a mother flewing the Coop.

Well, I try to spend as much time with them as possible,

but being a sportscaster, well, I'm away from home a great deal.

At least you got miss chapped lips.

Oh, miss Chadwick! Yes, yes.

Do you know she's the 21st governess we've had this year?

No kidding.

Yes.

One even offered to pay me two weeks' salary to let her out.

[ Laughs ]

Well, listen, thank you for listening to my problems.

I hope I wasn't too boring.

Oh, no, no.

You was just boring enough.

[ Knock on door ]

Yes? Come in.

It was our fault

you didn't have any dessert tonight, miss Chadwick,

and we thought maybe you would like some.

Why, that is very considerate of you.

Yes, I would like a little sweet.

Aah! Ohhh!

You are giving me nightmares,

and I'm not even sleeping!

[ Crying ] Let me out of here!

I've seen better children in jail!

Miss Chadwick, what happened?

Ask your lovely children.

I quit, Mr. Younger. I quit!

I'm gonna look for a job in a nuclear plant.

I want to live!

[ Sobbing ] I want to live!

I want to live!

Look at those moonbeams dancing on the waves.

That's one thing Denver doesn't have.

Or Kansas City.

Or the matterhorn.

Or Paris.

I'm sure glad I came down off that mountain.

So am I.

Mmm, that's the best good-night kiss I've ever had.

Well, that's only my good-evening kiss.

The good-night kiss comes later.

Hello!

Where have you been, huh?

Do you realize what time it is?

I have been with Paul.

He is so wonderful!

[ Laughs ]

Oh, I'm so glad you're having a good time.

You know, if things keep going the way they are,

I would not be surprised if you lose your little girl.

[ Sighing ] Whoo-hoo!

I'll see you early.

We'll go to puerto vallarta.

[ Sighs ]

Hey, Joey, looks like you had a good night.

Hey, doc, uh...Listen.

Could you tell me how I can get to cabin a-206?

You're warm, but you're getting cold.

It's back there.

This deck?

Yeah, aloha deck.

It's a little confusing till you've been around a while.

Yeah, how about that? I was so close.

Thanks a lot, doc. I appreciate it.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Good morning and welcome to the Mexican riviera's

puerto vallarta.

You can sign up in the purser's lobby

for deep-sea fishing trips and tours of the city.

Well, there's a week's salary and airfare home.

Now, isn't there anything that'll make you change your mind?

Just one -- a lobotomy.

Goodbye.

Well, nice going, guys. You did it again.

You know, instead of a sign,

you should have put a number on her back -- 21.

That's how many governesses you've gone through.

We're in a lot of trouble, aren't we?

I guess being a mother and father isn't easy, is it?

No, but you'll just have to get used to it.

You're stuck with me.

And I'll never leave you.

Hey, why don't we all go into puerto vallarta?

Yeah.

Just us -- the family.

Well, that...

No, I'm sorry.

Your chance to go into town just walked out that door.

But I love you.

Now I have some work to do,

so I want you two to go and amuse yourselves,

but stay out of trouble, okay?

Okay. Bye!

Who am I kidding?

Hello, young lover! You ready for puerto vallarta?

Beat it.

Very funny.

Would you come on, please? I'm starving.

I said, "beat it."

Joey, is that you?

No, he's gone out of town.

Joey, would you open the door, please? It's me, peanuts.

That's exactly why I don't want to open the door.

Now, get lost.

Could we ask your advice, doctor?

Oh, yes, of course. Please.

Do you think we're doing the right thing

in not telling Cindy the truth?

Huh...that's the age-old controversy in medicine,

and there are pros and cons on both sides.

The answer really depends on the individual

and how well-equipped she is to cope with this.

I'm afraid that's a decision you'll have to make.

Yes, we realize it's our decision.

But, well, it's nice to hear a third voice, doctor.

Uh-huh. There is something --

perhaps I shouldn't even ask this question,

but what about Paul?

If the two of them really get involved,

it could be devastating for him.

I know.

Don't think we haven't lost sleep over it.

Well, that's another decision we may have to make,

but we certainly appreciate your help, doctor.

Oh, please.

Well, April, if you're really serious

about giving up show business,

you're gonna have to start thinking

about something you'd like to do.

I don't know, Julie.

Hey, what do you think I should be when I grow up?

Well, let's see. What do you like?

You like kids. How about a nursery school?

No, you got to go to school a long time to be a nurse.

Aaah!

Aaah!

[ Giggles ]

[ Giggles ]

A mouse! A mouse!

Estos niños con estos ratones que barbaridad.

Don't ask me what that means.

I'm a lady.

I don't know what got into him. I don't know what to say.

And if I did know what to say,

he wouldn't open the door and let me say it.

Well, I thought you two were getting along great.

Yeah, me too.

Well, there he is.

Joey! Joey, what's going on?

I don't understand this. It's crazy!

I mean, last night it was a whole different story.

You told me you love --

shh! All right, cool it. Sit down.

Tony, shh!

Now, look, don't be mad at me. I'm mad at you.

Why are you mad at me?

'Cause you're Tony.

A guy's supposed to be named Tony, not a girl.

Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.

You don't like my name, so you're gonna dump me?

You know, I'm really glad I got a chance to clear this up.

Believe me, life would be much simpler

if girls had girl names and boys had boy names.

Captain?

Yes?

What is your first name?

Merrill.

You've been a great help. Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I don't understand why you're so crazy about names.

Okay.

How about the name friendly loan company?

Ring a bell?

Yeah. What business is it of yours?

'Cause that's who I work for.

And the boss sent down an order to hurt Tony battochio

for running up a debt and not making good on it.

And I'm the new guy, so I got the assignment.

Ooh.

Look, I'm gonna pay it back. I swear I am.

I just haven't been able to save any money lately.

See, sometimes I like to gamble.

Yeah, I noticed.

And I'm having a bad streak.

The horses, baseball, football -- you name it.

You're betting on the wrong things.

You never bet on other people, just yourself.

I should race against a horse?

No.

Things like poker -- something you can control.

I don't know how to play poker.

Yeah? Maybe it's time you learned.

Wait a minute. We're gonna play for money?

Yeah, that's a good idea -- strictly cash.

Come on.

[ Squeaking ]

Dad'll kill us for this.

He told us to amuse ourselves, didn't he?

[ Growls ]

Aaah!

Aaah!

[ Laughs ]

Wow!

So, big shoots, how you like getting a scaring to your wits?

I knew it was you all the time.

Is that so?

Then how come your knees is still knocking?

Well, I've got work to do.

I can't stand around all day talking

to two juvenile delinquents and a gorilla.

Say goodbye to miss Julie.

Bye, miss Julie.

Hey, April, why don't you take us into puerto vallarta?

Are you kidding?

I come from Mexico. I cannot do that to my people.

Please?

Sure. You made miss chapped lips a fruitcake,

and now you want to make April a banana.

No way.

We'll be good. I promise.

What about your father? It's okay with him?

Oh, yeah. He just told us not to get into trouble.

Then I better don't leave the two of you alone.

Let's vamoose.

Puerto vallarta, forgive me for what I'm about to do.

Let's go.

Gopher, gopher, I'm taking the bambinos into town.

Dressed like that?

Sure. They look fine.

Tell Mr. Younger.

Don't forget it, don't forget it.

Buenas tardes, señores y señoras.

We hope you enjoyed your day in puerto vallarta.

We lift anchor and sail in one hour.

Thank you.

If you see them, let me know immediately.

Well, they're not in the movie theater,

and they're not playing bingo.

Oh, no. This is ridiculous.

Three hours and you can't find two children?!

I'm sure they're here somewhere, Mr. Younger.

This is a very big ship.

And they're very little children.

♪ La cucaracha, la cucaracha ♪

[ Trilling ] Hey, hola!

Hi, dad.

Where have you kids been?

April took us into puerto vallarta.

I ate ticos and tatillis.

Hey, tacos and tortillas.

April, how could you have done a thing like that?

He was hungry.

No. I mean how could you have taken my children away

without asking me, without leaving a message?

Dad, she --

I was worried sick!

You had absolutely no right to do that!

Oh!

Oh! Oh, Mr. Younger, I had a message for you.

Let me see. Uh...

April took your children into --

April took your children into puerto vallarta and...

Oh, you're back.

Disregard previous message.

That's what we were trying to tell you, dad.

It wasn't April's fault.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry, guys.

How many?

Um, two.

Thanks.

I'll take one.

I can't believe we've been playing for three hours.

It sure doesn't seem like it.

Okay, I'll bet you $200.

Oh, you don't have that much, do you?

What do you have?

8 bucks.

8 bucks it is.

Call. Full house.

[ Sniffs ]

Four 9s -- it's higher, isn't it?

Yeah. [ Clears throat ]

Just what I needed -- now I'm broke.

You got all my money, every penny of it.

I knew there was a reason I don't gamble.

Well, you're the best teacher in the whole world.

Yeah, thanks a bunch.

Look, it was great running in to you.

I always wanted to be flat busted.

Have a nice life.

Joey, wait a minute! Where are you going?

Joey!

[ Sighs ] Well, that's me --

lucky at cards and unlucky in love.

[ Sighs ]

Oh, Cindy! [ Laughs ]

Excuse me a second.

I think I'm gonna powder my nose.

You know, Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, frankly,

when I came on this cruise, I came to have a wild time.

But instead, I've run in to

the most wonderful girl I've ever met.

Well, Cindy is something special.

I hope you don't mind,

but you're gonna be seeing a lot of me from now on --

I mean, even after the cruise is over.

I've fallen in love with your daughter,

and unless I'm greatly mistaken, she feels the same way about me.

But, Paul, you've only just met.

I know. It's been like lightning striking.

I mean, this never happened to me before.

I just know the only future I want is one with Cindy in it.

Did I say something wrong?

Oh, no.

No.

Uh, could we, uh...

Could we have a walk on the -- on the deck?

Yes.

Excuse us.

Hi, April. Thanks for coming.

Hey, hey, what's up?

Why you have to see me for?

You know, you should be snoring by now.

We're sorry we got you into trouble.

Oh, don't you worry.

"Trouble" is my name in the middle.

Thank you.

Hey, you two, hit the sacks.

She means "hit the sack."

Yes! Go, go!

It's very late. You're leaving tomorrow?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Having a good time?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

You're going to remember this trip forever.

Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, now it's the older younger's turn to apologize.

A peace offering -- puerto vallarta's finest.

Thank you.

It's beautiful.

You no have to apologize me.

Worrying about your children is good.

It shows how much you love them.

Yes, but, um, I acted very badly.

See? Now I know where we get it from.

All right, you two. Let's get some shut-eye, okay?

Hey, could I beddy-bye in a song?

We'd love it.

Thank you.

I'm going to sing for you a song that my mama sing for me.

I hope you like it.

That's one thing we learned, Paul.

This world isn't always fair.

Well, I go to powder my nose, and you take a powder.

Sorry. We just decided to get some fresh air.

Um, I'm tired.

I'm sure Cindy and Paul wouldn't mind

if we left them alone, dear.

I'm sure.

Good night.

Good night, Paul.

Good night.

I love you.

I love you.

Aren't my folks great?

What? Oh, yeah, sure.

They're super.

What were you and dad talking about?

When?

Uh, I don't know.

I was telling him about the mining business,

and he was telling me about his business.

It really sounds interesting.

He's retired.

How did he take it?

Well, how'd you expect him to take it?

He loves her.

What happened? Everything all right?

Look...

[ Sighs ]

You know I adore you both...

But you told Paul that I've been sick, didn't you?

Paul...

I was gonna tell you myself,

but I've never fallen in love before.

I mean, it hit me so quick,

I didn't know what was happening.

And besides, I'm feeling better and stronger

than I've ever felt in my whole life.

Pretty soon, I'm gonna be as good as new.

Please...somebody say something.

What's going on?

Cindy, darling...

[ Voice breaking ] I am getting better, aren't I?

Oh, dear god!

[ Sniffling ]

Why didn't you tell me?

I suppose I should have.

But the words just couldn't get past my love.

I want to be alone for a while.

[ Sobbing ]

Thanks for taking me to the top of the mountain.

I'll look after Cindy.

Joey, I looked for you at dinner.

Yeah, I skipped dinner.

I lost my appetite about the same time I lost all my money.

Got anything planned for tonight?

Yeah.

I was supposed to slap you around a little,

but now I don't even have that to do

since you got all the money back to pay back what you borrowed.

Well, great. Then I can show you a trick.

Ready?

Queen of spades. Ta-da!

King of hearts.

That's you.

King of hearts.

You left your marked cards at the table today.

I couldn't figure out why you wouldn't let me deal.

[ Sighs ]

You let me win all that money

so I could pay your boss back, didn't you?

Oh, Joey, I can't take your money that way.

Well, hey, hey.

If we were married, the money would belong to both of us.

If we were married?

Yeah.

I mean, how could I marry you and kill you at the same time?

I don't know.

You are a killer.

Hi, Mr. Younger.

Oh, hello, April.

You know, that song you sang for the children really worked.

They're still sleeping.

Poor kids --

no one to take care of them.

You will just have to stay home and don't go to work anymore.

Well, I don't think I'll have to go that far.

No, I'll just have to hire another nanny.

What?

Oh, that's what they call them in england.

I like that word better than "governess."

Me too.

Well, I hope you got a good one next time.

Too bad you don't know somebody the kids like already.

Well, to tell you the truth, April,

since their mother left,

you're the first person they've taken to.

Okay, I'll do it, but I cannot promise to stay forever.

What?

You smart cookie, you -- making me feel guilty

if I don't come and take care of your children.

April!

Where do you live?

Uh, Beverly Hills.

Well, everybody got to start someplace.

April, this is ridiculous.

You're an entertainer. You have a career.

I don't want that no more.

All of those are smoky rooms.

[ Coughs ]

I want to sing beddy-bye song for Gayle and Jerry.

They love me, and I love them.

Please say yes. Please say yes.

It's yes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Julie, guess what! He said yes!

Aaaaahhhhhh!

Cindy, I love you.

Paul, please, I need to be by --

this doesn't change the way I feel.

I love you.

You can't.

I won't let you.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

You have no choice.

I found what I want.

[ Voice breaking ] I don't know how much time I have to live.

Cindy, I could step off a curb tomorrow

and be gone just like that.

[ Crying ]

Nobody really knows how much time they have.

That's why time is the one thing that we never should waste.

I'm frightened!

Oh, hold me!

You were wrong.

I didn't take you to the top of a mountain.

We're not even halfway there yet.

And we're gonna climb it together.

Hey, Isaac, would you do me a favor?

A guy's coming onboard looking for me.

Would you give him this and tell him I quit?

Sure.

And I want you to have this, please, for all your help.

Are these cards lucky?

You bet they are. We're getting married.

Oh, that's great!

Hey, listen, instead of having them throw rice,

tell them to throw peanuts.

Take it easy.

Bye-bye!

Thank you, doctor. We'll always be grateful.

You know, in a way, it's a relief that she knows,

if you know what I mean.

I understand.

This is the name of a doctor in New York -- tops in the field.

He's had surprising success with leukemia patients.

Thank you, doctor.

Oh, there's something we have to tell you.

Let's let Cindy tell him.

Well, what's the news?

You are definitely invited to the wedding.

Wedding?!

Yes.

Paul and I both know that it's not important how long you live,

it's what you do with that time.

Amen. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Cindy's always dreamed of painting in a Paris garret,

and I've always dreamed of climbing the matterhorn...

So we compromised.

A Denver condominium in pikes peak.

Goodbye. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Thank you.

We're gonna miss you, April.

Thank you, mis amigos.

I got the best friends in the whole world.

Yes, you certainly do.

Oh, and now you have a new one.

Right. Mr. Younger, the big sport.

Uh, sportscaster.

Yeah.

Did you hear, doc?

April's gonna be working for Mr. Younger

taking care of the children.

I'm gonna be a ninny.

She's been a ninny as long as I've known her.

She means a nanny.

Oh.

I bet you guys are happy.

Both: [ Spanish accent ] Oh, yes!

[ Laughter ]
