[Theme - Jack Jones, "love boat"]

Theme song: Love, exciting and new.

Come aboard.

We're expecting you.

And 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.

And love won't hurt anymore.

It's an open smile on a friendly shore.

It's love.

Welcome aboard.

It's love.

[Music playing]

Hi.

I'm Edie Franklin.

I'm Julie McCoy, your cruise director.

And this is burl Smith, our assistant purser.

Ms. Franklin, I know you.

You're our new chef.

Ah.

Assistant chef.

No one could ever replace your Claude.

Oh, well he's marvelous.

Yeah.

Does he know why I'm here?

No, not exactly.

You see, he's pretty excitable.

And we didn't know the best way to tell him.

(Laughing) You were afraid he'd kill me.

Hmm, well, he can't be that bad.

I'll tell him.

Julie, my love.

Claude has returned.

I had a miserable lunch ashore.

Oh, Claude, look.

This is Ms. Franklin.

She's one of your admirers.

[Inaudible].

And how fortunate I am that an admirer

should also be so appealing.

Why, thank you.

It's so nice to meet you at last.

I consider you the most gifted chef since prosper montaigne.

Chef Claude: Do you?

Come, let me take you on a tour of my kitchen, a unique honor.

It is my personal province where no stranger is ever permitted.

Shall we?

Go tell him.

I think he likes you.

Well, I kind of like him, too.

But when he finds out why i'm here, he probably will kill me.

[Music playing]

Look, Isaac.

That man looks just like Dr. Bricker.

Hi.

I'm Vicki stubing.

And this is my--

is that stubeek or stubing?

Stubing.

Stubing.

So tell me, fraulein, when was the last time

you were arrested?

Arrested?

I'm gertrude Turner.

And this is Mr.--

but my name is Jones, a common name, very simple.

You forget it the minute you hear it, right?

Right [inaudible].

Sure.

And you also forget that in the case

Ms. Turner carries is the priceless star

of zambique diamond.

You understand?

Priceless diamond. Sure.

Absolutely.

Good.

[Speaking German]

[Music playing]

Jenny?

Oh, my dear old friend.

Jennifer Langley.

How are you

you get younger and more beautiful every time I see you.

What's your secret?

Vitamin e, hard work, and hope.

Oh.

[Laughter]

Stan.

Stan Ellis, it can't be.

Jenny.

It is you.

Oh, Stan, after all these years.

Oh.

Forgive me for not getting up.

I'm surprised you recognized me like this.

Merrill, i'd like you to meet--

well, he used to be lieutenant Stan Ellis.

Stan, this is merrill stubing.

Lieutenant Ellis.

Mr. Ellis for many years now.

How do you do, captain?

Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to do much socializing, Jenny.

I-- I have a lot of reading to catch up on.

Excuse me, captain.

Brr, captain.

Did we just hit an iceberg?

Did get a bit chilly there.

You know, he used to be one of the warmest, loving men.

I wonder what happened.

[Horn blowing]

[Music playing]

Right here.

No, no.

There, there, there.

What is wrong with you people?

With these things pointed that way.

Absolutely. That's it.

No, more, more [Inaudible] anymore.

That's it.

Oh, isn't it lovely?

I just know we're going to have the most

wonderful time together, Kurt.

No, no.

Mr. Jones.

How can I be a good detective and guard your valuables

if my identity is known?

I remember, Mr. Jones.

Hmm?

What?

Oh, [non-English] I'll get us some schnapps.

Ok.

Hi, Ms. Turner.

Vicki told me about your valuables.

And I can arrange a safe deposit box if you'd like.

Oh no.

That won't be necessary.

The gentleman who was just here, Mr. Jones,

I've hired him to guard them.

Oh, I see.

It's working out splendidly.

I mean, he's a very good detective.

You are?

Isaac.

Isaac--

Washington.

Washington?

Washington.

You were named after a monument.

You see, I have both sharp eyes and a trained mind.

That scratch on your hand.

From its shape, it could be made only by the recoil of a Ripley

[inaudible] Elephant gun.

You've recently been on safari in Africa.

Actually I got this scratch opening

up this can of mixed nuts.

How do you think up such far-fetched stories?

What you are, Isaac Washington, is an ivory smuggler.

I could turn you in.

You've been shooting elephants.

Elephants?

I don't even shoot pool.

I met Kurt while I was traveling to Germany.

He was an insurance investigator.

His head is kind of in the clouds,

but he's really very sweet.

I'd almost rather lose the diamond than lose him.

There's something so--

hello.

I'm Julie McCoy.

Of course.

And I suppose you have the funny papers to prove it.

[Inaudible]

Stay away from the bartender.

Hired assassin.

Oh, Julie.

Oh, Julie, it's been wonderful.

Claude showed me all over the ship.

I had no idea he was so young, so young and attractive.

Have you told him why you're here?

Not yet.

I didn't want to spoil anything.

Well, the way you two are getting along,

I'm sure he'll go for the idea.

Yeah.

[Sigh]

It's-- it's magnificent.

Understated, but approximate.

Um, Claude, there's something I have to tell you.

Oh?

Your career has-- has been an inspiration to me.

So I hope you'll understand what I have to say.

Wait.

What you've got to say, wouldn't it

be better said this evening under the stars

when maybe I've got some things to say too?

You know, never before has a passenger ever--

i'm-- I'm not a passenger.

I'm a chef.

[Music playing]

I've been hired to work in your kitchen

preparing nouvelle cuisine.

Nouvelle cuisine?

Well, the company wants to see if any passengers would

like it. - Nouvelle cuisine?

Well, nouvelle cuisine recipes are--

[interposing voices]

I know what they are.

And they are terrible.

You are nothing but a saboteur, an assassin.

Oh, Claude, please!

You-- I've been betrayed by the world!

I guess he didn't go for the idea, huh?

Now I'm beginning to understand.

You're not Stan Ellis at all.

You are an imposter.

Hmm?

I beg your pardon.

Well, the Stan Ellis I used to know very well

wouldn't have had his nose buried in a book like that

with all these luscious young beauties bouncing around.

Come on.

Confess.

What'd you do with him?

Well, I was hoping we might reminisce.

But if you'd rather just tell me to jump into the pacific,

I won't bother you for the rest of the cruise.

I see the years haven't made you any less

forthright, have they, Jenny?

I hope not.

Tell me, what ever happened to that girl

you went back to america to see and then married?

[Quiet music]

I lost Ellen a little over a year ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

When she died, everything else died with her,

including what was left of me.

Please don't say that.

It's the way I feel.

The automobile crash that took her

left me like this, good for very little.

You were right when you said I was an imposter.

I am.

I may have Stan Ellis's name and face and maybe

a few of his memories.

But the man you knew is gone, Jenny.

Don't try to bring him back.

You're only wasting your time.

This is the captain.

Tell the engineer that the starboard engine is

missing on a cylinder or two.

El capitan.

Yes?

Might I have a word with you?

Captain merrill stubing: This is highly irregular, sir.

But what do you want?

I know.

I know you are a busy man, standing

here watching the wheel.

But--

well actually, the ship doesn't have a wheel.

Somebody took the wheel?

Today they steal anything.

When did you first notice it was gone?

About 10 years ago when the ship was built.

10 years?

You should report these things sooner.

I'll see what I can do.

No, no.

You don't understand.

The ship never had a wheel.

We operate with maneuvering levers.

Then it wasn't taken?

There was no crime?

I wish they were all that easy.

El capitan.

Yes.

Since I may need your help later,

I want you to know my true identity,

but strictly confidential.

Absolutely no one else is to know that detective Kurt

kleinschmidt is secretly aboard to keep

Ms. Gertrude Turner's million-dollar diamond

from being stolen.

Don't say a word.

I won't have to.

You just told everybody.

You turned on the public address system.

[Inaudible] You may forget what I just said.

[Inaudible]

Mr. Kleinschmidt.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, but passengers are not allowed on the bridge.

Good idea.

I'll help all I can to keep them away.

[Buzzing]

Yes?

Oh, the engine that's missing.

What about it?

Somebody stole your engine?

No wonder you don't need a wheel.

It's not stolen.

Oh, good.

Well, [speaking German].

Now, tell me about it.

But if anything else is stolen,

please don't wait 10 years to tell me.

I can't perform miracles.

[Music playing]

[Piano music]

Something long and cool, please, Isaac.

Certainly.

Coming right up.

[Clapping]

Won't you please play some more?

Yes I will if Mr. Ellis will sing.

He had the best voice since nightingale

sang in Berkeley square.

[Piano music]

Well maybe he needs a little encouragement.

Everybody.

[Clapping and piano music]

If you like, I'll bring your drink to the piano.

[Music playing]

Stan.

Just what exactly did you think you were doing?

Oh, I am sorry.

I didn't mean to embarrass you.

I'm not aboard to be a part of anyone's entertainment.

Didn't I make that clear?

I was just hoping to persuade you to join the living.

All the hoping in the world can't manage that, Jenny.

I'm grateful for your good feelings.

But just leave me alone.

That is a very easy request to fulfill.

But there's one thing you ought to know.

You have turned into the most miserable--

that's right.

Now you are finally beginning to understand.

Oh, I do.

You've made it emphatically clear.

[Music playing]

Well, this is my kitchen.

And I and only I decide who works here.

So I say to you, out!

Out!

I'm really reaching the end of my Patience.

Claude, I got your message.

What's the problem?

Captain, we have an impossible situation here.

The company has no right to impose an amateur on me

to experiment in my kitchen.

Have her removed immediately.

My friend, I think we should talk.

There's nothing to discuss.

This is an insult to my reputation.

Passengers choose this ship because they know I prepare

the finest dishes in the world.

And they're entitled to just that,

not some sorry substitute.

As you say, you have a reputation.

You are very gifted.

You're the youngest chef ever to win

the virtuoso De cuisine award.

Twice.

You have nothing to worry about.

Now, look.

Continue to prepare your food as you always have.

We'll put a note on the menu stating

specifically which are yours.

And we'll let the passengers decide.

You're not afraid of a little competition, are you?

Of course not.

Afraid of what?

[Music playing]

Edie, is this enough space for you to work?

That'll be fine.

Thank you.

Nouvelle cuisine here.

Cuisine De Claude there.

And don't prepare too much.

You'll be the only one eating it.

This has been such fun.

And tomorrow we dock in Mazatlan.

Yeah, gertrude, when we get to Mazatlan,

I think it would be better if I go directly home from there.

But why Kurt?

Because i'm beginning to realize

I'm not really a very good detective.

Those stupid accidents, like on the bridge for the speaker.

Now everyone knows who I am.

Well, it doesn't matter.

But also I am beginning to know

who I am, just a small time insurance investigator.

That's all I'm good for, finding out who

and which smacked into what.

Please stay, Kurt, to the end of the cruise at least.

I'm worried about my diamond.

Somebody might take it.

But you know and so do I there is

a safe place for your diamond.

So the fact is, I'm useless to you.

Good enough, gertrude.

In the morning, I must say good morning and goodbye.

[Music playing]

I give them [inaudible].

You give them this.

What's next, chili tamales?

Oh Claude, please.

It's not so bad.

Here, taste my sauce soubise.

You call this sauce?

I can't believe people are actually eating this.

They must be using it to paste pictures in their photo albums.

Claude!

Which pot has the antidote?

- That's not fair. - Fair?

You talk to me about fair when you're destroying the stomachs

of 600 innocent people?

My food is good!

You see all the orders, don't you?

It's just the novelty.

It will wear off.

Oh!

But word will get around quickly.

Second sitting tonight, you'll not get one order.

Not one single order.

You'll see.

Oh!

[Music playing]

Jenny.

Oh.

Did you find out what changed Mr. Ellis?

Well, his wife died in the same accident that

put him in that wheelchair.

I tried to jolly him up a bit.

But I'm afraid it was a mistake.

Oh, merrill, when will I learn to mind my own business?

But you were just looking for a way to make him happier.

Oh well, if that's what I was looking for,

I certainly found it.

Oh, I can make him very happy, all right, by leaving

him completely alone.

He made that extremely clear.

But you know, it's not as simple as all that.

We met in London during the war.

And of course we fell in love and planned

our whole lives together.

And then when he could, he went back

to america to break the news gently

to the girl he was engaged to.

Then the next thing I knew, I received his dear Jenny letter.

And I never saw him again, not till he came aboard the ship.

You know, meeting you again could be the best thing

that's ever happened to him.

Well obviously, his personal problems

have taken over his life.

But maybe you, someone from his past,

his happy past can make him forget.

Yes, but suppose it just makes him

more unhappy and more bitter.

But how would you feel if you didn't give it a try?

[Music playing]

That's Ms. Turner's cabin.

She has that character kleinschmidt

guarding her jewels. - Yes.

Talk to her.

Try to convince her to use our safety deposit boxes.

Sir, from what Julie told me, I

don't think Ms. Turner wants to use our safety deposit boxes.

Why not?

Personal reasons.

Well, listen.

Julie gets off in a few minutes.

Why don't I send her up to the bridge and she can explain.

[Music playing]

[Knocking]

Kurt!

Kurt, come quickly.

Kurt!

[Knocking]

Kurt!

What's that?

I woke up.

Somebody was here.

[Gasping]

My ring!

It's gone.

So it's you.

Don't move a step.

- Are you sure it's gone? - Oh, yes.

Don't play the innocent.

A criminal face if I ever saw one!

You're accusing me?

A good performance, capitan.

And look!

Very good, but not good enough.

The old story.

Fast horses, fancy women, expensive gold stripes to buy.

So an easy answer.

But who would suspect the honorable capitan?

I'll notify the security people immediately.

Go ahead.

I won't bother to search you [inaudible]..

[Inaudible] Please talk to Julie first.

I don't--

and furthermore, don't try a getaway.

Don't take one step off this ship tonight.

Now, tell me everything you remember.

Start when you were a little girl.

Don't you think we should let the ship's

security people handle it?

After all, you'll be leaving tomorrow.

Leaving?

How could I leave you after you lose

a ring like that, at a time like this, to a man like him?

Brutal.

The second sitting tonight was as bad as the first, worse.

That beautiful scheming female got almost half the orders.

But why blame Edie?

She didn't invent nouvelle cuisine.

To think when I first met her, I thought at last, a woman

with understanding, with whom I could share so much.

I was wrong about her.

That's finished.

But So am I. My clientele rejected me.

This is my life.

I'll never cook again.

Never.

[Quiet music]

What did he say?

Will he share his kitchen with me?

He'll never be able to accept anything less than everything.

He's been a king too long.

[Sighing]

Are you telling me Ms. Turner's in love

with kleinschmidt?

Yes, sir.

That's why I'm sure she took the ring herself.

So there's really no reason to notify security.

I suppose not.

No need to alarm the entire ship.

Check into it, will you, Julie? Talk to her.

Let me know immediately.

Yes, sir.

I'll be easy to find.

As you heard, I've been ordered not to leave my ship.

[Music playing]

Good evening, you miserable man.

I thought you might like some bubbly.

Well, what about a toast to those foggy

days in London town?

[Glasses clinking]

Why weren't you this persistent then?

Well, chalk it up to youth.

I was only a timid little art student then.

Who later became--

a very forthright museum director.

Oh, you have to be a fire breather

when you're a fundraiser.

But all that's finished now.

I resigned last month.

For any special reason?

Mm-hmm.

Quite a few, but mainly because--

well, I just want to take a leisurely look

at all the wonders that I've been too busy rushing past

to notice.

Ever thinking of doing the same thing

Jenny, I appreciate what you're trying to do.

And I'm sorry about the way I acted.

I truly am.

Enough said.

But you must understand one thing.

I can't feel anymore.

My emotions are as paralyzed as my legs.

Nothing touches me, nothing moves me.

But you wouldn't understand that, would you?

You live every day as though--

as though it were my last?

Yes, because, well, I believe that's the way life

should be led.

You know, I'm not a gambler.

And I know I'm on this earth just one time.

And, oh, I don't want to waste one minute of it.

I envy you, Jenny.

Tell you what.

Tomorrow we're going to dock at Mazatlan.

Come ashore with me.

There's a picturesque old Plaza and a mission

that was built by--

Jenny, please.

Oh, come on.

Say yes, just for once.

You know, it might get to be a habit.

[Music playing]

Man (on speaker): Attention, please.

Our fun tour of Mazatlan will leave

the dock area in 15 minutes.

Now to get started.

I have the names of every person aboard, all 992 of them.

The capitan has convinced me it wasn't him.

So one of these is our thief.

[Inaudible] I'd love to go ashore.

Impossible.

We have to strike while the jewels are hot.

Here we go.

Kleinschmidt.

No, we know it isn't me.

We Mark it out, which brings it down to 991 suspects.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Kurt.

[Inaudible] We start first with the officers.

You there.

[Music playing]

Excuse me.

Might I ask you a little question?

Of course.

Why did you do it?

No [inaudible].

You're dealing with kleinschmidt.

Yes, I know who you are.

Kurt, I really don't think that Dr. Bricker is involved.

Oh, so you are a doctor.

Then you may go.

No more questions.

Thank you.

Doctor wouldn't take jewels.

Doctors already have more money than they know what to do with.

Are you going to do this all day?

And all night if necessary.

And when I do catch this swine who took your diamond,

whoever it is, man or woman, [Non-English] Kleinschmidt

will have his revenge.

You know what I mean?

[Music playing]

Man (on speaker): Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

The last tour bus into Mazatlan leaves in five minutes.

Didn't Mr. Allison show up?

I'm not sure.

Jenny's done about all she can.

That's a pretty thick wall he's built around himself.

Well, if anybody can do it, your Jenny can.

Captain.

Oh, I was beginning to think you wouldn't be here.

I wasn't going to be.

My mind was all made up.

Oh, well, what changed your mind?

I suddenly discovered I couldn't miss

[inaudible] Ever again.

She did it.

She got through to him.

She's quite a lady.

I never met anybody with so much to give.

And so little time left to give it.

What?

Last night she told me why she quit the museum.

She's losing her eyesight, Julie.

About six or eight months, she'll be totally blind.

[Music playing]

Well, there are just a few things, some knives and things.

And we weren't sure if they were yours or the ship's.

So if you don't mind taking a look.

Thank you.

[Clapping]

All right, this is my kitchen now.

And things will be done my way, the right way for a change.

First of all, get rid of all this disgusting butter

and cream.

Those rich sauces, out, out, out.

From now on, my nouvelle cuisine is the only cuisine.

Not mine.

Nothing is.

And if anyone doesn't like it, they

can just work for someone else.

Oh, Julie, my plan didn't work.

I destroyed his pride.

Doesn't care anymore about anyone or anything.

I've lost him forever.

Captain merrill stubing: Plus went ashore together.

Don't think he'll have any, you know, trouble being

in that wheelchair, do you?

No. He should be ok.

Would you like a little more?

Yeah, thank you.

Strange his doctor allowed him to come on the cruise.

Oh, his doctor insisted on it.

I got a full report from him.

You see, he thinks Mr. Ellis's paralysis

might be largely psychosomatic.

You mean it's all in his mind?

Mm-hmm.

He may be overwhelmed with guilt about his part

in the accident that killed his wife.

And he won't allow himself to walk.

Well, if it's just a mental block, then that's great news.

Not necessarily.

See, broken bones usually heal.

Sometimes a broken will never does.

[Music playing]

Man (on speaker): We hope you enjoyed your stay in Mazatlan.

Our next stop is puerto vallarta.

I just checked with lost and found about your purse.

And nobody's turned it in yet.

Oh, well it was silly of me to lose it.

Ah.

Something strange is happening, Jenny.

Until today, I had nothing to look forward to.

Nothing.

Now I suddenly see I may have a future ahead of me.

That's a pretty good start for one day.

And Jenny, I'd like you to be part of the future.

Stan, what you're saying-- well, it--

it just can't be.

That's all.

It already is.

It's an old Chinese proverb that says if you save a man's life,

you're responsible for it.

You know, I think that it's been a pretty

long day for both of us.

If you'll excuse me, I'd like to lie down before our dinner.

[Music playing]

Don't worry about a thing.

I'll just hide in the closet until the both of you leave,

and then I'll put the ring back in the box.

And I'll make sure that Mr. kleinschmidt sees that the ring

isn't there when I leave here. - Ah, right, right.

Right. Oh, right!

That way, he'll never suspect that you're

the one who returned it.

Are you ready, gertrude?

One minute.

I really appreciate this, gopher.

Part of the job.

Ready, Kurt.

Oh, gertrude, you look beautiful.

Thank you.

If only I had my ring to wear.

You will have it back soon, I promise.

Well, shall we go?

This is the door, Kurt.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

[Music playing]

Ah, just a minute.

I wanted to talk to you.

I have some questions.

Oh, my notebook.

I must have left it in my cabin.

Not that door, Kurt.

That's my cabin.

Gopher Smith: Now wait a minute! No, no, no.

You don't understand.

Will you let me go, please?

[Inaudible]

Look, I didn't--

I'm trying to exp-- sir.

As you see, capitan, I caught the criminal red

handed in the cookie jar.

See?

Here's the stolen diamond.

He came back to steal the rest.

Sir, I didn't steal anything.

I can explain.

I was just trying--

I will explain to the hangman.

[Non-English] Kleinschmidt has caught his first criminal.

[Music playing]

Woman (on speaker): Attention, please.

Main seating dinner is now being served

in the coral dining room.

[Knocking]

Come in.

The door's open.

You're not coming to dinner?

Hi.

No.

You're old Beau was in the dining room sitting alone.

I know.

But it's easier this way.

You see, merrill, I'm afraid he's

about to ask me to marry him.

Oh.

Well, is that so bad?

Oh, you've seen what his accident

did to him psychologically.

After a year, he's just beginning to get over it.

And now if he receives an emotional jolt from me,

I just don't know if he'll be able to handle it.

But what about you, Jenny?

Don't your feelings count?

I'll tell you a secret, merrill.

In spite of two bad marriages of my own,

I never did get over him.

[Quiet music]

And when you love someone, it's infinitely

more important what happens to him than to you, see?

Jennifer Langley, I love you.

[Music playing]

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'm sorry I'm late, especially since it's the first time

we've had the pleasure of chef Claude

dining with us as a passenger.

Thank you for inviting me, captain.

Bon appetit.

Oh, yuck!

Vicki.

Children.

Anything new and different.

How's yours?

Oh, it's awful.

I'm sorry everyone.

We have a new chef.

Perhaps she got a bit carried away.

What's it supposed to be?

It's supposed to be sauce soubise.

What it is, is--

I'll have a word with Edie.

We can't have this.

Captain, with your permission, I'll handle this.

Oh, everything is--

everything's being returned, Claude.

What did I do wrong?

In a word, everything.

Attention, my staff.

An apron, my toque.

Oh.

You may leave, Ms. Franklin.

Cuisine De Claude has come to the rescue.

Well, don't just stand around.

Everybody move.

[Inaudible]

Great.

Let's get cooking over here.

[Music playing]

Gertrude!

Gertrude, I've been looking all over for you.

I have your ring.

The captain has Smith.

He'll make a confession, I'm sure.

So it's over.

Not quite.

There's another confession.

Mine.

I don't understand.

Kurt, I took the ring.

And I gave it to gopher to put back.

You took it?

You had it all the time?

Then kleinschmidt did not catch his first criminal.

Oh, I know how much that must hurt you.

So tomorrow, for us, I guess it has to be [speaking German]..

Well, I must apologize to the boy.

You did it to test me, and I failed.

No, I understand.

No, Kurt.

I only did it because i--

I couldn't bear the thought of you leaving me.

Now I'm just a foolish woman in love.

Is it possible?

And I only wanted to be a success because I couldn't

bear the thought of losing you.

Kurt, you mean that?

And you're not angry?

How could I be angry now?

Because finally I am a success.

I did catch a thief, a very beautiful

one, who's stolen my heart.

Save room on the other finger for a gold band.

Your ring!

It's gone again.

Someone stole it while you were standing here.

Kurt, it's still in your hand.

[Laughter]

I thought you might come back for that.

[Gasp]

I guess I really messed things up, didn't I?

Come on.

I may sometimes be stubborn, but I am never, ever stupid.

You forget, I tasted your sauce soubise before.

That time it was delicious.

Delicious?

You said it was only good to paste pictures.

Well, a master chef is entitled to a little white lie

now and then.

Besides, how could I tell you that your sauce

was almost as good as mine?

But tonight you purposely destroyed it.

To think that you would jeopardize your career for me.

Well, I've returned the favor.

I've convinced the captain that he should

keep you on here with me.

Oh, well, what about--

you may say the words in my presence.

Nouvelle cuisine.

Oh, as much as I love--

love you, and I think I do love you, Claude, I can't

give up something I believe in.

You will never have to.

You see, before I met you, I'd forgotten the words

of the great escoffier, who said,

a man who refuses to accept the new grows quickly old.

And if you're with me always, that will never happen.

[Music playing]

So this is where you've been hiding.

I'm not really hiding.

I'm just feeling quiet, that's all.

Oh, I see someone's found my purse.

Thank you.

One of the passengers found it in the mission.

You, um-- you don't think very much of me, do you?

If you did, you wouldn't lie to me.

I have never lied to you.

Not even by omission?

I did a miserable thing.

To make sure it was yours, I looked inside the purse.

And there was a letter from your doctor.

You should have told me.

You should have had more faith in the new Stan.

You helped make him.

This doesn't change a thing.

In a few months, I won't be good for anything.

Oh, nonsense.

You sound like the old me.

Use my eyes, Jenny.

We'll both look at life together.

That would never really--

have you forgotten your own [inaudible]??

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

You made a believer out of me, Jenny.

The only way you can stop me is if you tell

me you don't believe it now.

Well, I do.

At least-- at least I did.

Well, then it's settled.

There's one thing you should know,

the reason I didn't return to you.

When I got back to america, there was a surprise

waiting for me, a daughter.

My daughter.

Ellen never told me I was a father.

She didn't want me to come back to her just because of that.

But when I saw the child, i--

I do love you, Jenny.

Always have, always will.

[Music playing]

Going to shore for a while?

Yes, I have a very special lunch planned for my Edie.

Oh, a little romantic cafe, right?

Well, not quite.

Claude knows a place where they

make the best barbecued ribs.

Barbecued ribs?

With a hot sauce that will burn your socks.

Which one will bake the wedding cake?

[Laughter]

[Speaking German] For everything.

You've been most understanding.

We hope to see you again.

You might, in the honeymoon suite.

Providing you put a very strong

lock on the door, [non-English]

Oh, of course.

With Ms. Turner's jewelry, you need a good lock

to keep everybody out.

Nein.

I want it to keep everybody in.

Remember, I expect to see you every year

from now on, both of you.

Well, I imagine we'll make the reservation

as soon as we get settled.

No need to make a reservation.

Next trip's on me.

Oh!

That is an invitation the ellises can't refuse.

Maybe next time I'll be without these wheels.

Meanwhile, we're going to New York.

There's an eye specialist I want Jenny to meet.

Wonderful.

Yes, it is wonderful.

One question, captain.

Tell me.

Why ever do people call this the love boat?

They do?
