[ Telephone rings ]

Excuse me.

I'm Bradford York,

and I'd like to know if my tutor has come aboard yet.

Your tutor?

Yes. You see, I'm the headmaster

of a boys' school in new england,

and I'm due to speak at a symposium in acapulco.

Hmm. Very impressive.

Well, my Spanish isn't very impressive.

That's why I'm working with a tutor.

Her name is April Lopez.

April Lopez?

April Lopez?

You mean you've heard the name before?

By all means.

There she is...

...i think.

Oh!

Uh, miss Lopez.

Welcome aboard, miss Lopez.

A pleasure to have you with us again, miss Lopez.

[ Spanish accent ] The feeling is prudential.

Mutual.

Same difference.

Is your baggage all taken care of, miss Lopez?

Yes. Thank you, Mr. jork.

York.

That's what I say -- jork.

Spanish pronunciation is quite different.

Yes, it is, Mr. jork -- York.

April!

April, April, am I glad to see you!

Boy, can you help me?

The singer I booked for this cruise just canceled --

I'm sorry. Miss, miss, I'm sorry.

You got the right month but the wrong April.

Shall we go, Mr. jork?

It's a long story.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Yes.

Could you tell me

where I might find the promenade deck,

cabin 112?

If I can't, I don't know how we're going to find acapulco.

Down the hall and to your right.

Oh, thank you.

By the way, I'm captain stubing.

This is my daughter, Vicki, and assistant purser Smith.

Oh, how do you do? I'm grace boswick.

I love your pin, Mrs. Boswick.

It's very pretty.

Oh! Thank you, dear.

It was an anniversary present from my late husband, Roy.

It's very dear to me.

Uh, Mrs. Boswick,

the gopher Smith triple-deluxe, super-duper tour of the ship

is about to start, and your cabin is the first stop!

Boy, either my workouts are paying off,

or you're traveling awfully light.

I'm planning on buying a lot of souvenirs in acapulco,

and I need the room.

Thank you. I can manage myself. Thank you.

I could swear there was nothing in that.

Strange.

I wonder why she rushed off like that.

I guess you've never taken one of gopher's tours.

Hello, grace.

Hello.

Do I know you?

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Gabriel.

Oh. Your name is Gabriel?

Yes, and I've been waiting for you.

Well, how did you know my name?

Well, to be very blunt,

there's very little I don't know about you.

You see, I'm your guardian angel.

Welcome aboard.

George Finley.

Welcome, Mr. Finley.

Ah, Mr. Finley, you're on aloha 124.

It's right --

thanks, I'll find it.

Hello.

I'm Gwen Finley.

Welcome aboard, Gwen Finley.

Well, what a coincidence.

We just checked in a George Finley.

Maybe you two are related.

We were related... For 10 years.

Mr. Finley and I are separated.

But not by enough distance at the moment.

What are you doing on this cruise?

Trying to forget everything that happened during our marriage.

Ah, Mrs. Finley, you're on fiesta deck.

Thank you.

I'm sure you'll both have a wonderful cruise.

Wanna bet?

This could easily be the worst trip of my life.

Good. Then you'll know how I felt on our honeymoon.

Bon voyage.

Bon voyage.

[ Air horn blows ]

Captain stubing, since my husband passed away,

my life has been so lonely,

but after midnight tonight, I won't be lonely any longer.

By the time you read this, I will --

[ knock on door ]

Just a moment, please.

Oh.

Excuse me, ma'am. I just want to put these in your closet.

Oh, thank you. I can take care of that.

Well, thank you. Have a nice cruise.

Thank you.

[ Gasps ]

Hi, there.

What are you doing in my closet?

Well, I had planned to appear in the middle of the room,

but I miscalculated a bit.

Even angels aren't perfect.

I don't know what you think you're doing here,

but if you're not out of this room in two seconds,

I'm going to call the captain.

I'm sorry, but I have a higher authority to answer to.

Yes, I would like to talk to the captain, please.

There's a man here --

well, never mind.

[ Knock on door ]

Just a second.

Ap--

shh!

May I come in?

Sure.

Oh, Julie, I'm sorry for what I said before,

but -- [ Speaking Spanish ]

Oh, come over here.

Why don't you sit down?

Now, let's try it one more time

more relaxed, and this time in English.

Okay. Sure.

You see, I am in show business.

One day I have a job, and the next day I don't.

And there was this ad in the paper for a Spanish tutor.

And I say to myself, I say,

"April, who can 'toot' Spanish better than I can 'toot'?"

So you answered the ad.

How'd you know that?

Well, just a lucky guess.

Well, Mr. jork is a very dignified man,

and he will not like if he knew I did "coochie-coochie."

Oh!

He's from Boston.

They don't coochie-coochie there.

They don't even "cooch."

Well, I guess it's tough to "cooch" in all that snow.

Are you saying

you'd really rather not do the show tonight?

This job is very important to me, Julie.

You understand, yes?

Oh, yes.

And besides, Mr. jork is a very cute man, no?

No -- I mean yes.

You really like him, don't you?

Oh, yes.

But he doesn't seem to know I'm a woman.

He's so proper.

Oh, well, don't worry. He'll notice.

Nobody could be that proper.

Mr. Finley!

You look like you could use some cheering up.

How about one of my Isaac Washington specials?

It cures all problems.

Better make it a double.

I know!

Oh, boy.

I see it didn't take you very long to find company.

I met Mr. Baker at lunch,

and he happens to be a very nice gentleman.

Look up the word if it isn't familiar.

While you're here, there are a few things

I'd like to work out on the property settlement.

I want the color television set.

Well, you can have it!

You spent more time with it than you did with me, anyway.

I want all the pots and pans.

Fine. You can use them as planters.

I'll bet you're a marvelous cook.

Oh, I am.

Are you kidding?

Natives used to come from South America

to dip their arrows in her gravy!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Very amusing, George.

You'll have to excuse my husband, Herman.

He always had a terrible sense of timing --

especially in the bedroom.

Oh, yeah?!

Well, you can keep the electric blanket --

the one with the controls that you can set on "headache"!

Aaahhh!

Ow!

Mr. Finley! Mr. Finley!

Wait, wait, wait. Be careful, be careful.

Ow, my leg. My leg. Don't touch my leg.

George, is it terribly painful?

Compared to our marriage, it's painless.

It's this leg.

Oh, Vicki...Would you do me a favor, please?

Well, sure, Mrs. Boswick.

Would you see that your father gets this letter?

Sure. I'll give it to him right now.

No, no. Don't give it to him until tomorrow.

That's very important.

Okay. Not until tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Thanks.

Okay. Let's try it again.

Estoy muy contenta De estar aquí.

[ Mispronouncing ] Estoy muy contenta De estar aquí.

No, no. You got trouble with your vowel.

Spanish vowel -- [ In Spanish ] A, e, I, o, u.

What is "a" for me is "e" for you.

"E" for you, "a" for me.

Watch my mouth.

Estoy muy contenta De estar aquí.

[ Mispronouncing ] Estoy muy contenta De estar aquí.

I'm sorry. My pronunciation is terrible.

No, no!

For Boston, is good!

Okay, why don't you sit down right here

and study your vocabulary?

Meanwhile, I take a swim, okay?

Okay.

[ Mispronouncing ] Estoy muy contenta De estar aquí.

Estoy muy contenta De estar aquí.

Estoy muy contenta...

Estoy muy contenta De estar --

hi. How's it goin'?

Nothing is happening.

He's concentrating so hard on his lesson,

he still doesn't notice me.

Oh!

Mmm.

I gotta get this up a little bit.

Yeah, but slowly. Take it easy.

It's gotta be elevated.

Ooh! Aah, aah, aah!

Just a little bit more.

No, no, no, no!

Aaah!

How does that feel?

On a scale of one to ten? Zero.

Okay. That ought to do it.

Ohhh!

Ahh.

Okay.

I'll be back to check on you in a little while.

Excuse me.

[ Groaning ] What are you doing here?!

I wanted to make sure you're not gonna die

and cheat me out of my settlement.

How's the old leg doing?

Ow!

Till you came in, I was in pain.

Now I'm in agony!

I broke my leg once.

Same leg.

Always felt a lot better if it was up a little higher.

Ohhh!

I was only trying to help.

You're gonna help me into my grave.

Well, I'll come back when you're less cranky!

Good. And take gentle Ben with you.

[ Groaning ]

Hi, grace.

I, uh, came as soon as I got your message.

What are you talking about? I never sent you any message.

Well, maybe not in writing, but through your brainwaves.

And in all due respect to gypsies,

angels make much better mind readers.

What do you want from me?

I want to see you smile again.

Why don't you just leave me alone?

Oh, I can't.

Besides, we're having dinner together.

We most certainly are not.

Oh, come on.

The chef is baking a very special cake --

angel food.

The answer is still "no," Mr. Gabriel.

Of course. How stupid of me.

I forgot you, uh --

you didn't bring anything to wear, did you?

What's your favorite color?

Blue. Why?

Blue.

Blue.

Blue. Yes.

♪ Ta-da ♪

Let's see. That, uh, that ought to do it.

I'll see you at 7:00.

[ Piano music playing ]

You know, grace,

you really do look fantastic in that dress.

Thank you.

How did you do it? Are you a magician?

I told you, I'm an angel.

Miracles come with the territory.

Well, if that's true, how about another miracle,

like, oh, lifting this ship out of the water

or something like that?

Our boss doesn't like us to show off.

Well, Roy told me you'd be difficult.

What do you know about my husband?

Well, among other things,

he's the biggest football fan we have in heaven.

That's right.

Oh, Roy was crazy about football.

He'd bet on anything.

We don't let him do that anymore.

He always knows who's gonna win.

[ Sighs ]

I miss him so much.

Hey, come on.

Roy doesn't want you to be sad when you think about him.

Hey, grace, you know what he'd say right now

if he saw you crying, huh?

He'd say, "come on, 'punkin.'

turn off the faucet or you'll start to rust."

H-How did you know that?

Oh!

[ Gasps ] Oh!

La comida estaba muy deliciosa.

Bravo.

Bueno. you are a wonderful student.

Oh, not really.

Yes!

In fact, I would say you're the best I ever had.

Oh, you're much too kind, miss Lopez.

But whatever success I've had,

I owe it to your excellent instruction.

Uh, you have a doctorate, I assume?

Yes.

In Spanish?

No, in Los Angeles --

ears, nose, and throat doctorate.

Ha ha ha!

Miss McCoy?

Yes, sir?

There's a rumor going around

that there'll be no entertainment

in the acapulco lounge tonight.

Is there any truth to that?

Uh, well, sir,

there'll be lots of music and plenty of dancing

and no entertainment.

Whatever the reason, miss McCoy,

when we disappoint our passengers,

it's a reflection on all of us.

Yes, sir.

I'll talk to you later.

Yes, sir.

Julie, it is not your fault that somebody canceled.

No, but it is my responsibility.

Excuse me. UN momento, por favor?

Oh, yes.

Julie, I heard the captain,

and I'll do the show.

Oh, April, thank you,

but I couldn't ask you to jeopardize your job.

Well, if jeopardizing is no good for my job,

it's no good for yours.

Julie, do you still have my old costume?

Well, I do have one in the storeroom, but --

no "buts."

But...you have to keep Mr. jork away from the acapulco lounge

until the show is over.

Oh, um, I could get him into a chess game.

That'd keep him busy all night long.

Good! tremendo.

Oh, great!

I'll go get your costume and put it in your cabin!

Thank you!

[ Slow music plays ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

I can't believe it.

I'm actually dancing with an angel.

Well, So am I.

Oh.

What's the matter?

Well, if I'm the only one that can see you,

I must look very silly dancing with myself.

Relax.

On this job, I'm not invisible.

Oh.

You're the handsomest angel I've ever met,

if you don't mind my saying so.

I don't mind at all.

And I think what I like most about you is

you're so down-to-earth --

uh, for the time being, that is.

You know something?

I could, uh, really get in trouble dancing with you.

Why?

Because you bring out the devil in me.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

I'm afraid you'll have to share the infirmary, Mr. Finley.

That's okay. I could use the company.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. I like my arm out like this.

Mrs. Finley's arm is broken.

It happened on the dance floor.

I knew your friend Herman was clumsy,

but it's hard to step on someone's arm

when you're dancing.

I slipped and fell.

You never could hold your liquor.

Doctor, I would prefer to stay alone in my own cabin.

Don't. You won't like the company.

It would be better than staying here with Attila the hun.

I can take better care of you here.

You don't mind if Mrs. Finley stays, do you?

It's all right. I've had my tetanus shot.

And after this I take my leave.

Julie will send down one of your nightgowns.

She only has one -- with a drop seat and feet.

Play nice.

[ Sighs ]

I'm sorry about your arm.

Mmm. I bet you are.

No, I am. How'd it happen -- you trip over your tongue?

Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen circumstances,

the show originally scheduled for this evening

has been canceled.

Aw!

Aw!

Aw!

Aw!

But don't worry, because luckily for all of us,

our substitute show is even better.

On behalf of the Princess,

may I proudly present our very special friend --

April Lopez?!

Good evening, Mr. York.

Good evening. Who is that singer?

Talented, isn't she?

Well, I'm not a judge of talent,

but I can understand why she covers her face...

Ha ha ha!

...whoever she is.

Oh! The stars are really out tonight.

Every star in heaven.

You know, it's a funny thing about stars --

by the time their light reaches your eyes,

some of those stars are already burned out,

but you can still see them sparkle.

[ Bells clanging ]

Mmm. Kind of like memories, aren't they?

Eight bells -- midnight.

Midnight?

What are you thinking?

I was thinking...

What a very special time midnight is.

Yes, it is special. It's the end of a day.

No.

No, it's the beginning of a brand-new day.

Thank you for coming into my life, Gabriel.

Come on. I'll walk you to your cabin.

I'd fly you there,

but I'm afraid it'll look a little too flashy.

Ha ha!

There's that guy in the white suit, man.

Mm-hmm.

He is weird.

Yeah. His name's Fred janofsky.

You know what he did this afternoon?

Drove an ice-cream truck through the lobby?

Almost as strange.

Gave me $10 to put an evening gown in a storage bin.

Must have been a practical joke.

The joke's on Mrs. Boswick. She's wearing it.

Buenos días.

Oh, good morning, good morning.

Tsk-Tsk. Buenos días.

Ah -- buenos días. Ha ha!

Would you like some coffee?

Oh, gracias.

I'm sorry I had to go to bed so early last night.

Did you have a nice time?

Wonderful.

Really?! Oh, I'm so happy to hear that.

I never played chess better -- really.

But then I went into the lounge

and I saw the most outrageous singer imaginable.

You didn't like her?

I've seen a great many singers,

but this is the first one

who said more with her hips than with her lips.

But let's not take up your time

talking about some insignificant little singer.

Now, come on. We've got work to do.

We'll be in acapulco at noon. And you know what?

I thought I should open my speech by saying,

"what a beautiful day" in Spanish.

Qué lindo día.

Huh?

Qué lindo día!

Qué...lindo...día!

Qué lindo día.

Qué lindo día. Oh, yes, I like that.

I like that -- qué...Lindo...Día.

Good morning, grace.

Oh! Good morning.

Would you care to join me for some milk and honey?

I'd love to. I'm so happy to see you.

I thought by now you'd be back in heaven.

You mean I'm not?

When I'm with you, it's hard to tell.

Oh. [ Chuckles ]

How you feeling this morning?

Well, I am on cloud 9.

I'm very jealous.

They never let me get past cloud 7.

I still can't believe it -- my very own guardian angel.

There are so many questions I want to ask you,

I just don't know where to begin.

What kind of questions?

Well, like why did god make mosquitoes?

It would be wrong for me to give you all the answers.

Why?

Well, because part of the beauty of life

is exploring the mysteries for yourself.

You're right -- or with someone you care for.

Exactly.

Say, uh, speaking of exploring,

how would you like to go into acapulco with me?

Oh, that'd be nice. Where do we go first?

Oh, I don't know.

We angels usually just like to wing it.

Welcome to acapulco, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sorry about the weather.

There's one little cloud in the sky.

Just a touch of Princess humor.

Enjoy your day on the Mexican riviera.

We sail at 9:00.

I'm gonna elevate your leg just a bit.

Yeah. Get it a little higher

so his foot will be at its normal position --

in his mouth.

It'll still taste a lot better

than anything you've ever cooked.

You don't need a doctor. You need a referee.

I'll be back to check on you in a little while.

Hey, Julie.

Hi, doc. Hello, you two.

Look what I found -- scrabble --

something you can play together.

Thanks, anyway,

but Gwen has trouble spelling "cat."

I know how to spell "boor" --

g-e-o-r-g-e.

Glad I could help.

Hi, guys.

Hi.

Hello.

How's everybody doing?

That good, huh?

Well, we brought you some magazines --

time, newsweek, Saturday review.

Oh, thanks.

That takes care of my reading.

See if you can find some comic books for George.

Have a nice day.

So long.

Mr. and Mrs. Finley, anything I can do to help?

Yeah. Drive fast.

Oh, I never had such a good time shopping in my life -- ever!

Made yourself quite a haul.

About the only thing you didn't buy

was the guy behind the souvenir stand.

Oh, and I thought I made him

a very reasonable offer, too.

Mrs. Boswick.

Oh, hi, Vicki.

I just put that letter you gave me on my dad's desk.

I'm sorry I didn't do it earlier. Excuse me.

Oh! Oh, the letter. I-i-i-i completely forgot.

What letter?

Oh, I wrote a silly letter, and if the captain reads it,

I'll just kill myself.

Oh -- just a figure of speech.

Hmm.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in.

Mrs. Boswick.

Oh, don't open that letter.

Why not? It is addressed to me.

Yes, I know. I wrote it.

When I wrote it, I was a very unhappy woman, captain,

and now something has happened to turn my life around.

That's wonderful. May I ask you what it was?

I know you'll find it hard to believe.

I can hardly believe it myself.

Why don't you try me?

Well, I know it sounds silly, but, um, I met an angel.

Oh, that's nice.

I'm sure he feels the same way about you.

No! No, I mean a real angel from heaven.

He's my guardian angel. He came down to save me.

You -- you don't believe me, do you?

Well...

Oh, come -- come with me.

What's the matter, April?

You're not yourself today.

Because I am not myself.

You're not?

No. I am miss Lopez. I am not April.

And Mr. jork likes miss Lopez, who I'm really not,

and not April, who I really am.

You understand?

Who wouldn't?

Miss Lopez?

You're terrific.

The speech was okay?

Okay? It was great.

Uh, can we talk privately, please?

Sure.

I haven't felt this good in a long time,

and do you know the reason?

Because your speech was fantástico.

Well, that's what I thought at first,

but then I realized that I've felt this way

ever since I met you.

You're the reason, miss Lopez.

Me?

Oh, I know this must sound strange to you,

but I don't want to lose you when this cruise is over.

But, Mr. jork, you live in Boston, and I live in Los Angeles.

That is this far apart on a small map.

[ Chuckles ] Not if you come with me.

Oh, I know you don't know anything about me

and I know very little about you,

but what I do know is that i'm happiest when I'm with you.

Mr. jork, I like you, too, but --

miss Lopez, I'm not talking "like." I'm talking "love."

Mr. jork, there is so much to find out...

For both of us.

Oh, well, as you know,

I'm a headmaster of a boys' boarding school --

200 perfect little gentlemen.

And what I've never told you

is that I've been a widower for four years

and I've got three children of my own --

two boys and a girl.

And we have a big old house with lots and lots of room.

Oh, you'd like the house,

and I know you'd like my children.

Mr. jork, you don't know nothing about me.

Well, I know you and I both come from good families.

We're both well educated, and anyone would know

from just looking at you that you're a perfect lady.

Uh, miss Lopez, don't go.

The last thing I want to do is scare you off.

You don't scare me off. I scare off myself.

You mean he asked you to go back to Boston with him?

Yes.

And live in his house with his three children?

Yes.

Well, from a proper bostonian like Mr. York,

that sounds like marriage to me.

To me, too, Julie.

Well, then why the long face?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Oh, yes. But he loves miss Lopez, the teacher,

not me, the real April.

Oh. But he's never even met the real April.

I know.

Well, maybe it's about time he did.

Oh, Mr. Janofsky, how's it goin'?

Ah, gopher, great. Couldn't be better.

So, everything worked out with that evening gown, then?

Oh, yeah, yeah. I owe you one.

Well, actually,

I think I look a little better in pants.

Well, in that case, if you're ever in peoria,

you just stop by my men's shop

and I'll suit you up at half-price.

Hey, that's a deal.

Ha ha ha! Oh, captain, there he is.

Captain, this is who I was telling you about.

Oh, captain, right!

You haven't met Mr. Fred janofsky.

He is a great guy, and if you are ever in peoria, look him up.

He'll give you a great deal on a suit, right, Mr. Janofsky?

Mr. Janofsky?

What does he mean, peo--

what is he talking about, Gabriel?

He's talking about me, grace.

I'm sorry.

Did I do something wrong?

[ Sighs ] No, gopher, I did.

So...

You're the angel.

Not anymore, I'm not.

Here we go, Mr. and Mrs. Finley.

Oh!

Candlelight dinner for two.

Compliments of your friendly crew.

Oh, Isaac, how nice! Thank you!

Yeah, great!

I didn't know they had room service in war zones.

Please thank everybody in the crew for us, will you?

I certainly will.

Now all this infirmary needs is strolling violinists.

Good night, and enjoy.

Thank you.

Now, that was very thoughtful of them.

George! Look at this -- your favorite.

Filet mignon and French fried onion rings.

Yeah! Great!

Bon appétit.

Mngh.

Mngh.

Bring your plate over here.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Oh. Thanks.

There.

Thank you very much.

Mm-hmm.

It's been a long time since we've had a candlelight dinner.

We used to do it to celebrate something special.

I know.

We had a lot of special things to celebrate, too.

Yeah.

Too bad we didn't break an arm and a leg years ago.

Our marriage might still be going strong.

We hope you enjoyed your stay in acapulco.

Our next stop is the port of Los Angeles.

That won't solve anything.

Go away!

Grace!

Grace, I can't let you do it.

No!

Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you or embarrassed you,

but please give me a chance to explain.

I've listened to you far too long already.

Not as long as I've listened to you.

[ Sighs ]

You know, for years, you and I used to ride the same bus

on the way to work every morning.

Do you know that?

You never noticed me,

but I sat right behind you and your friend Ethel.

Really used to make my mornings

to hear you tell stories about your husband.

You remember the time

you put too much detergent in Roy's laundry

and he got caught in the rain?

You said that he -- that his clothes got so foamed up

that he looked like a snowman.

[ Chuckling ] Yes.

Oh.

So that's how you knew so much about Roy.

And about a year ago, everything changed.

All of a sudden you weren't laughing anymore.

When you said that you were taking this cruise,

I knew what you were planning to do.

Well, I certainly didn't tell that to Ethel.

No, not in so many words, maybe, but...

You said you were gonna "sail the ship

that carries the soul on its longest journey."

Ethel didn't understand what that meant, but I did.

It comes from a poem

by d.H. Lawrence -- "the ship of death."

I knew you weren't planning to come back.

But, um, why this elaborate charade?

I don't understand.

I figured it would take something pretty drastic

to get you interested in life again,

so I, uh -- well, maybe I made the wrong choice,

but, then again, I'm only human.

No. If you went to all this trouble just for me,

you really are an angel.

Gabriel?

Ahh, that was nice, wasn't it?

Very.

It's been a long time

since we did anything nice for each other.

Could you do something else nice for me?

What?

I got an itch in the middle of my back

I won't be able to scratch for weeks.

Allow me.

Aahhh.

Right here.

Here?

Yeah. Oh.

Oh, you always were the best scratcher in town.

Ahh.

Enough?

No. No. More, more, more.

Uh...huh.

Just like the old days.

Yes...

Isn't it?

Is someone back there with you?

I feel two hands.

What's with the cast?

I don't need it.

I just thought that...

Well, if we were together for a while,

we might be able to work things out.

I still love you, George,

and I didn't want to give you up.

Then...you never had a broken arm?

No -- just a broken heart.

I know just the guy who can mend it.

Oh, George!

[ Knock on door ]

Yes, who is it?

It's me.

Oh! Miss Lopez.

Good heavens.

May I come in?

You are surprised, yes?

Should I explain, no?

Please do.

Okay. I am not really a tutor.

I am really... What you say...

An insignificant little singer.

But if I told you the truth,

you will not have hire me, will you?

No. I'm sure I wouldn't have.

I figured that.

Miss Lopez, uh,

I can't believe my eyes.

I don't know what to say.

I'll tell you what to say --

adiós.

Uh, miss Lopez!

Miss Lopez...

April...

Yes, Mr. jork?

You're still tutoring me, aren't you?

Your speech is over.

You don't need me to "toot" you anymore.

But there's another speech I want to give,

and I don't know how to say it in Spanish.

You sure speech a lot for a quiet man.

Well, this is my last speech.

I, uh, just want to learn how to say...

"I love you very much...

"...and I don't care if you sing or dance

"or pilot jumbo jets.

I just want to be with you -- always."

Well, um, how do I say it?

Very simple.

Like this.

Oh, bye-bye, Dr. Bricker, and thanks for everything.

Just call me the miracle worker.

See how quickly I healed your broken arm?

Hey, Gwen and I are calling off the divorce!

Just think how much money we'll save

with no property settlement.

One house, one set of furniture...

One wheelchair.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

Hi!

Oh, Herman! Hi!

Thank you for being so wonderfully understanding.

Yeah, thanks, Herman.

Oh, forget it.

You two just have a wonderful, happy, healthy life.

Ow!

Herman, when we all get back to town,

please...don't come and visit us.

Bye-bye, Herman.

Wait a minute, Gwen. Let me help.

Take it easy.

Herman, we don't need your help.

Here we go.

Watch it! Herman!

There we go!

[ Thud ]

Ow-w!

Bye-bye.

Lovely couple.

Yeah.

Hey, Julie! Wish me luck.

I am going with Mr. jork to Boston.

Oh, that's fabulous!

Hey, he's a big shot!

He's a head "monster" at the boys' school.

Headmaster.

Oh, I was close.

You're getting a wonderful girl there, Mr. York.

Uh, jork --

it's beginning to sound more natural that way.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, captain, Vicki, oh, it was a lovely cruise.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

We certainly did.

All's well that ends well.

It's good to see you so happy, Mrs. Boswick.

Oh, Vicki, i am so happy!

Well, all I can say is

i think you two really are a match made in heaven.

Oh, captain! Goodbye!

Are you ready for that?

He actually had her believing that he was an angel.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
