All language subtitles for Riverboat S02E06 Trunk Full of Dreams

Blake, set her back!

Set her back?

We're behind schedule now.

There's a mermaid in starboard!

A mermaid?

I can't even see the
bend in the river, and

you can see a mermaid to starboard. Quick!

Blake, you're a good pilot, but
you haven't got an eye for women.

Now reverse the engines. That's an order.

Kearney. What are
that? Reverse the engines.

Before you lay a hand on us,

I'll nail you river
rats to your own guttles.

You better think about
saving the Enterprise. Well,

we just can't leave them
in the middle of the river.

If you won't save our trunk first,
sir, we'll catch the next boat. Guy,

get that bosun seat rigged. Aye, sir.

All right, in the bow!
Rig the bosuns, champ!

Here, Connie, bring that line
in. All right, straight now.

My way!

All right, all the way.

This is piracy, sir! We
river rats call it Shanghai!

Juliet, don't let them do this!

Now, why don't you all get in
the yawl like a nice old gent?

Not without his trunk! Well, he
didn't seem very worried about you.

He knows I can take care of
myself, and I can't. Oh, you can't, huh?

Ow!

There's no Messiah without his cross.

Does that really mean so much to you?

No, but it does to him.

All right, well, that
looks like I'm the one that's

really hooked. All
right, Connie, let me down.

All right, you heard what he
said. He wants it down. Let her go.

The night air will mild
you, my customs, right there,

Trump, my customs. An
actor, Carney, just an actor.

Not just an actor, the
greatest actor in the world.

Now, are you warm enough?

May I present myself,
Captain, and my gratitude.

Sir Oliver Garrett of the
Royal Repertory Company.

That's what went down. A showboat.

Boy, you're a hard man to get
aboard. Glad to know you, sir.

Are there any other survivors?

I dare say they reached the
shore without their trunks.

And now we require hot baths, some
beef bouillon, a bottle of port,

and two of your best
cabins adjoining, of course.

Anything else?

Yes, my good man, my wife.

Uh, uh, uh, Carney! Carney, uh,

see that these fine
people get cabin number one

and two. Yes, sir. This
way, if you please, sir.

All right, get this truck up
topside. Bring it up, bring it up.

I've alerted the boiler room, and your
bath water will be up shortly, my lord.

You're being very helpful, Mr.
Carney. Oh, it's a pleasure, my lord.

How long will you and your lady be
traveling upriver with us, my lord?

As far as the Enterprise
can take us, or vice versa.

I don't quite grasp your meaning, sir. As
far as we can go, perhaps the whole way.

Good cheers.

You want steam? Will you ask
Carney where the steam is?

I've been asking him for it ever
since we fast-kelled in the Benz.

He won't even answer me on the two.

Huh?

Well, Mr. Carney will
give you steam, partner.

Either that or you'll be in
the boilers. Now, tend to them.

What do you think you're doing down
there? He ain't doing nothing down here,

Captain. Where the place is he?

Well, he's with his lordship.

He's with his lordship, but not for long.

Then we played Covent
Garden, Mrs. Siddons and I.

That was before my marriage
to Lady Garrett, of course.

Oh?

You know, Carney, you would
make a superb second gravedigger.

I would, sir?

The water has
moistened some of my posters.

They dry much better hanging on the wall.

You look disturbed, Captain.
Anything I can do for you?

Well...

As a matter of fact, I was wondering if
there was anything else we could do for you.

Oh, there is a slight draft, but
Carney can put up a shutter. Yes,

I see he's repaired your trunk
already. A versatile fellow,

as fine a valet as I've ever had.

We pay him to be the ship's engineer.
What a waste of a natural talent. Yes.

I wonder if we could borrow him this
afternoon just to get up a little steam. Oh,

yes, of course. Proceed,
Carney. Thank you, Your Lordship.

Lower register,
Carney. From the diaphragm.

From the diaphragm.

I shall remember, sir.

And you'll have my dress
clothes in time for dinner.

That I will, sir. Steam, Mr. Carney.

Steam, Captain. Right, from
the diaphragm. From the boiler!

Will you join me in a cup of tea,
Captain? I might as well. I paid for it myself.

Juliet, bring some more tea, please.

Now, as to these cabins, are
they the best you can give us?

Couldn't we have something a
trifle more spacious? Yeah, well,

I'm glad you brought that up.

You see, Mr. Blake, my
partner, keeps the books,

and he likes to get passage in advance.

Of course, of course. As soon as my
papers are dry, I'll give you a check.

Bank of England, all right?

Well, yeah, I've heard
they're all right, yes.

Don't you have any funds closer than that?

How do you like your tea,
Captain? Weak or strong?

I like it hot.

Lady Garrett Brew's the most
delectable tea. Somehow or other,

she manages to get a tang into
it. Yes, I can understand that.

She has very trim lines.

Yes. I'd like to make you
an offer for her. What?

All the enterprise.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were interested in it.
Well, I shall have to replace my showboat.

Your craft would do admirably. You know,
I'm afraid the Enterprise isn't for sale.

Well, we don't need to buy her then. We
can come to some partnership arrangement.

Sugar.

No.

For a showboat? No.

But Captain, you'll be rich and famous.

Across your decks will
come the finest people.

The carriage trade all your river towns.

Milk.

No.

No, no, I'm afraid my partner would
never agree to running a showboat.

He only runs half the boat.

We can make some proposal
more advantageous to him.

I'm sure he has an eye
for a bit of profit.

You know, for a shipwreck whose gear
isn't even dry yet, you're pretty well set up.

Lady Gareth and I will be on
board permanently, of course,

but we won't distract
from your normal business.

By day, you'll be a
riverboat. By night, a showboat.

You're moored in some port
every night anyway. Dead time.

What happened to the
boat? You know very well.

She sank. Yes, I know she sank, but how?

Did the boilers explode? I see that you're

commended for your
gallant rescue, Captain.

Will you have a trumpet?

Why...

Crumpet.

Your cook has been most cooperative.

What did you say was the
name of your boat? Marmalade.

Well, as a matter of fact,

I was about to change her name to
the Royal Floating Theatre. Yes.

Want more tea?

No, no, thank you. No, but her
registered name. Her registered name.

Oh, it slips my mind, you know, details.

Well, what was the name of her captain?
The one who went down with the ship? Yeah,

yes, the one that went down with the ship.

His name was, uh, his name was... I
can't remember names, dates, places.

Well, then how do you remember your lines?

I am an actor, sir, not a clerk.

I am not expected to
remember petty details.

Dear, we can be frank
with the captain, can't we?

Her name was the Floating Hippodrome.

Captain Smiley Showboat.

Why didn't you say so?

We actors are strange people, Captain.

Vanity, I suppose.

It was not the kind of
engagement I was accustomed to.

Forty years in the theater.

But this is a new country.

I had hoped to bring some
culture to the new frontier.

What's this?

My check, sir.

Well, there's enough
money down here to pay for

your passage to Canada
and buy the boat to boot.

You're a smart young man.

You can persuade your partner.

I'm afraid you don't know my partner.

See, all he's interested
in is just the three cents

a mile passage. Keep it.
My guarantee. All right.

All right, fine. Well, tell you
what, the next town we come to,

we'll go to the bank and we'll get
this whole thing straightened out.

Good show town. Your next port?

Louisville. Louisville? Oh, no, no, we
won't be in Louisville for five days. No,

you'll be going ashore in hatches.

Thanks for the tea.

In the fog, I thought we'd pass Natchez.

Well, he's just not going
to put us ashore in Natchez.

I'll think of something.

They're too ready.

Juliet, the way he looked at you...

He did.

Didn't he?

The way you looked at him, that's
what worries me. Come in, Blake.

Captain?

We can't go ashore at Natchez, and I
would like the bank draft back, please.

Oh, I wasn't going to try and cash that.

You think we're fakers, don't you?

You think we've just been trying
to take you, putting on a big act.

Well, you know what actors
are supposed to do, act.

They're supposed to pretend
that they're somebody else.

I didn't come here to pretend.

Does your husband know you're
here? Or did he send you up here?

No.

No, he doesn't know you're
here. No, he didn't send you.

No, he's not my husband.

He tells everybody that we're
married to keep other men away from me.

How do you feel about that?

I never minded.

Till now.

Now, let's just stop
this stage business now.

What do you want?

You want free passage?

How far do you want to go?

How far would you like to take me?

You know, you're quite
an actress, Lady Garrett.

And I'm not a lady.

Oh?

I mean, the title is just make-believe.

Well, a lot of things in
the theater are make-believe.

His lordship.

All the time it's just a hand bone
from Captain Smiley's slideshow.

Don't you call him
that. He is a great actor.

Yeah, he is.

Captain Smiley didn't know how to
treat a great actor, and neither do you.

Yeah, now just a minute. You just
tell him to leave my crew alone.

I almost wrecked a boat on the sandbar
when I was trying to get that trunk aboard.

And now he's got my whole
crew yelling from the diaphragm.

He just makes loud noises so we won't
hear the sound of his heart breaking.

Oh, come on, come on, now turn
off the tears now, will you?

I may work on water, but water doesn't
work on me. Now, how far do you want to go?

Captain, we're broke.

Stranded.

We haven't even got the three
cents a mile passage upriver.

If you put us ashore and we go to
a hotel, they'll hold his trunk,

and if they do that, you might
just as well have let him drown,

because that trunk is all
he has in the world next to

me. He's got every memory,
every dream he ever had.

I don't understand it. I don't
understand how a beautiful young girl like

you can end up with an old man
like you hanging around your neck.

Let's sit on the stand, Captain.

He's my father.

Those footlights are
excellent. Let's go on here.

We'll use this door for entrances and
exits, and later on we'll cut one there.

How can you do this to him?

Doesn't look much like a theater yet,

but once we've built a
proscenium arch and cut

an exit in that wall...
He's a wonderful man.

If it weren't for him,
we'd have no place to stay.

I thought we'd give our first
performance in Louisville. That's five days away.

We'll skip Natchez, of course.

You mustn't do this unless
you can go through with it.

What do you mean? Of course I can go
through with it. Forty years in the theater.

Father, look at me.

Do you think I want charity, my dear?
It's the only way I can pay our way.

But, Father...

Can you really go out on that stage
again and face a strange audience?

One audience is like another.

Father, can you really do it?

Can you really go on? Can
you really do another show?

What's his Lordship so
nervous about? Well,

you'd be nervous too if your daughter was
going for a buggy ride with Grey Holden.

Ah, Carnius, more than
that. He's got the shakes.

Well, all great actors get nervous
before a big show. Even I'm nervous,

and I'm only pressing his costume.

You are really
stage-struck, aren't you? From

the diaphragm, Mr. Blake, stage-struck.

All right, boys, come on, drop her in.

Lower it down. Come on,
Joe. Come on. Lower it down.

Come on. All right, there you go.

Dyer off!

What?

Let me talk you out of this.

Not a chance. Now, what's that
old saying? The show must go on.

What's wrong with that? As long as
there's a profit in it for Blake.

But what if something goes wrong?

What can go wrong? Come on.

Well, you see, Natchez
is really two towns.

Now there's Natchez under the hill,
that's where the river rats are. But up here,

Natchez on the bluff,
this is where the money is.

Now then, you just stay here in the
carriage and show us a nice smile.

My little ankle.

That's for the men. I'll
take care of the women.

I'm sure you will.

Yeah.

How are you? That's the young
riverboat, Captain, I was telling you about.

Very responsible young man.

So many young bucks on the
river today are fly-by-nights.

No responsibility for a man's cargo. Well,

I might not trust Captain
Holden with my daughters,

but I would trust him with my cotton.

He travels in mighty good-looking company.

Captain Hogan, just who's that young lady?

Well, I'll tell you all about
her in due time, in due time.

But we were expecting you alone, Captain.

Captain, we are having a ball
tonight. You all got to stay.

Yeah? Well, now, we're having a party
ourselves on board the Enterprise. Yes,

it's a theater party, and you two
ladies are going to be my special guests.

We're having a show. A show?

Oh, we were looking forward to
having you dance with us, Captain.

If you're not otherwise engaged.

Well, now, now, Bertie Bell, you see,

we're going to have some dancing
ourselves on board the Enterprise tonight,

on the deck, under the stars in
that big old fat Mississippi moon.

Just the two of us. I
mean, the three of us.

Papa! Papa!

Captain Holden, madam. Mr.
Beauregard, my new cotton broker.

Well, Mr. Beauregard,
sir, it's a pleasure.

I imagine we'll be doing a lot
of business together. Something.

I, uh, found the impression you were
running a riverboat. Yes, by day, sir, by day.

But at night, we offer entertainment
to satisfy the most discriminating.

A cultural gathering spot for cotton
planters, bankers, and brokers, sir. Oh,

it's good for business and a
sheer delight for the ladies.

Sir Oliver Garrett? Yeah,
yes, and Lady Garrett. Oh,

I want you all to meet
her lovely ladyship.

Her ladyship? You haven't gone and
left that old Garrett on your boat.

Well, yes, what's wrong with that?

And that husband that travels with him?

No, no, no, dear, that's his daughter.

Oh, y'all don't believe that.

Where do you know the Garrets
from? You ever seen them play?

No, but we've heard plenty. They were
here just last week, tried to play natches.

Try?

People said, heard it was just
awful, hooted right off the stage.

Why, it was the talk of the town.

Passing off that young hussy as his
wife, trying to make himself look younger.

She's a lady, sir. A lady.

That's more than I can say
about some people I know.

Perhaps we better wait until after
your show to discuss shipping our cotton.

Perhaps we should, sir.

Wait and see what
condition your boat's in.

Those rowdies from under
the hill come to your show,

they may tear your boat apart
the way they did Captain Smiley's.

I hope we have room for
your cotton, Mr. de Lesseps.

Mr. Beauregard, you?

Oh, but Granny, we do want you to
come to our barn. We was planning on it.

Well, sometimes plans have
a way of not working out.

Oh, um, Captain, we, uh...

You are going to meet your friend
before you go. Yes, you insist.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, great. Now, you know, I just
can't stand formal introductions,

especially when everybody's so sweet and
pleasant like these wonderful people here.

Yeah.

By the kind of you,
ma'am, to offer those words.

I wouldn't say them if they weren't true.

Now, would I, Greg?

Well, that's true. You are a
stickler for truth. That's a fact.

That's why I was so interested in
your discussion about the showboat folk.

They do seem like dreadful
people, don't you think?

That's the talk. We know
people who were there.

But you weren't there, dear, were you?

Oh, no, we don't
associate with show people.

That's a pity. I think
we'd better get going.

Oh, Captain, you are going to
introduce the lady before you go, aren't you?

Well... Oh, Gray, why not,
being that we're leaving?

Yes, yes, of course. How careless of me.

And this is Lily Bell and Bertie Bell
and their father, Mr. de Lesseps and Mr.

Beauregard. May I
introduce to you, Lady Garrett.

It's been such a pleasure.

He's not angry with you?

Of course not. What for?

Oh, I should have told
you the whole truth.

Well.

I just kept hoping if
he had another chance.

Forget it.

There's still Natchez under
the hill. We're not beat yet.

He didn't belong on that
honky-tonk showboat of Captain Smiley's.

Who are you calling honky-tonk,
Captain Gray, holding web? Captain Smiley.

Sir Hambone. Oh, I fired him, him
and his highfalutin Shakespeare,

all the time shaking from stage fright.

I hear your boat went down,
huh? Shame you didn't go with it.

Stubborn old fool. He could have
got picked up by the rest of us,

but he wouldn't leave his trunk.

You should have let him drown.
You're a bigger fool than he is.

What'd he do, throw that
good-looking wench at you? Showtime's 8.30!

Food and drinks for everybody.

You ain't taking my customers out of
here to eat and drink someplace else. Well,

now, I'll tell you what I'll do now here.
We'll split it right down the middle, huh?

Give us half of everything. To
see Sir Hambone Garrett? Well, now,

don't you listen to Captain
Smiley Sour Grapes here now.

Now, we'll make a separate side deal, you
and I. I'll give you 50% of everything.

Over Blake's dead body, your
partner don't split with nobody.

I'll give you half of my half.

Well, maybe if he let his young
wife dress up in something fancy,

then you'd have an attraction.

Sheila, she'll give you a
great show. With her clothes on.

He's got her covered up to
her neck. If she's got legs,

he's sure keeping them secret.

Do you mind holding this for
a moment, please? Oh, hey!

Where's your lordship?

Where's your audience?

Well, I lost them. I lost the
cotton shipment, too. Yeah, I heard.

What passengers we did have got
tired waiting and all went ashore.

Yeah.

We're going to be eating
it for the next month.

And they'll be eating it if you can
dig up the money to pay the crew.

After you pay for the
pigs and the whiskey and for

my share in the
profits in the cotton cargo,

which we are not carrying. We
had no contracts for that cotton.

We had an agreement. And I figure you
owe me for the profit I might have made.

I thought I might
borrow the money somewhere.

Who from?

From you.

Sure, sure, Greg.

At the usual collateral? That means
you take over the enterprise, huh?

Well, I don't want to be
harsh about these things.

I'm just taking your own philosophy.

Take everything that comes?

You'd stay on as captain. Oh, you'd be
willing to give me a job, huh? Thanks.

Well, business is business.

Business is business.

Why didn't you let me open at Louisville?

What would have happened in Louisville?

I don't know.

Perhaps the same thing.

Only by then you would have had five
more days of free boardroom and passage.

I'll pay you back, sir, every farthing.

Well, what?

I don't know why I said that.

One gets in the habit.

Well, get out of it.

And get off my boat.

My boat.

Before Blake takes it
over and holds your trunk.

We'll go. And take your
royal red curtain and pack it.

I know.

I'm through.

Is it back up?

It's a tradition with the Garretts.

The curtain always goes at
the bottom of the trunk.

Hurry it up.

This was Hamlet's dagger.

This was the chalice that
held the poisoned wine.

Yeah, that's for me.

I used it in Romeo and Juliet. Didn't
have a very happy ending either, did it?

They were all great tragedies,
and they were great triumphs.

Through these curtains, I have taken
calls to a king, a command performance.

Magnificent, they said, my Brutus, my
Hamlet, Othello the Moor, Macbeth, King Lear.

Where do the years go?

Into the trunk.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

And tomorrow, and tomorrow.

Weeks in this petty place from day to
day. To the last syllable of recorded time.

And all I...

Have lighted fools the way to dusty death.

Out!

Out, brief candle!

Lice with a walking shadow.

A poor player who struts and frets his
art upon the stage and then is heard no more.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full
of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Act five, scene three.

How'd you get stage fright?

I'm too old. I've lost my touch.

Not too old.

Not from what I just saw.

You know your river.

Every channel, every
bend, every shoal. Do you

think you could run
your boat alone, Captain?

Every captain needs a pilot.

But every pilot needs a captain.

Blake's gonna find that out.

I'm a boat without a captain or a pilot.

My Romeo was great because of my Juliet.

No.

Not this little girl of mine who
thinks she's fallen in love with you.

Her mother.

She was fair Desdemona to my Othello.

My wicked Lady Macbeth, my Ophelia.

Do you think it's enough for
an actor to stand up and hear

the applause with no one
there to share it with him?

Flattery can fool you.

It's like the river, it's treacherous.

It's a risk every actor must take.

She was my partner.

My faith, my confidence
in myself, my courage.

She always told me the truth.

Every night,
tremendous, thunderous applause.

And we'd stand there, hand in
hand, and we would take our calls.

We were a team. We shared a dream.

And now, without that dream,
Every stage has become a nightmare.

Forty years on the boards.

And I'm afraid, Captain.

I'm afraid.

That was great, Gerard.
That was a great act.

That was not an act. That was the truth.

I was only trying to tell
you what is frightening me.

Don't give me your troubles. I don't
want to even hear my own troubles.

You?

A young man with troubles?

Look, you're in the dream business. Give
me a dream, will you? I'm losing my boat.

You're supposed to be an
actor, an entertainer.

Well, entertain me!

Oh, Debbie!

Father.

Father, you were great.

Even Gray knew you were great.

Will you stop this? You're tearing
him apart. He can't do it anymore.

Yes, he can.

I just saw him do it.
He's a fine, fine actor.

I know he's a fine, fine actor, but in
front of an audience. What's an audience?

I'm an audience.

What's the difference? One person
or a hundred? It's an audience.

You don't understand.

I have no choice.

He's got to do it.

Father, now listen to me.

This isn't any longer a
question of just you and me.

We've involved somebody who's
going to be ruined because of us.

You've got to try.

Well, I'm coming back
here with an audience if

I have to Shanghai
everybody in the riverfront.

Our captain may have to
go down with his boat,

but I'm not having mine slipped out from
under me because of a little stage fright.

Now you get this curtain back up.

And you be behind it when it opens.

All right, Mike, grab these lines. What
do you want these for, to hang yourself?

Just string along,
boys, just string along.

Thought we threw you out
once. Do you want an encore?

Showtime!

Don't you ever give up.

Captain Hambone, showboat,
tickets, one dollar. No, no,

make that two dollars the first.
Now, don't push and don't shove, folks.

There's plenty of room for everybody.

Who says?

Captain Hambone says.

And he says that everybody in
this place is going to come down to

the Enterprise and behave
themselves like gentlemen and ladies.

They're going to buy food and drink.

They're going to pay for it with cash.
All right, throw him out on his head.

Just a minute, I'm not finished.

You want to bet?

And anybody gives me a fighter on here,

I'm going to pull the saloon right
down into the river. You're crazy.

Maybe you'd like your head bashed in.
You afraid to bet me, Captain Smiley?

What do you want to bet on?
That I can pull this saloon down.

You do it and I buy everybody
here a ticket for your show. Yeah.

And the food and the drinks are on me.

Yeah?

That's the deal!

All right, the tickets are on
me. Me and Smiley. Stop! Showtime!

Showtime!

¶¶

The lords and ladies.

Blow wind, come wrack!

At least we'll die
with harness on our back.

Steam!

Gold.

Bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready,
she strike upon the bell, get thee to bed.

Is this...

A dagger, which I see before
me, the handle toward my hand.

Come, let me clutch thee.

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.

Art thou not...

False vision, sensible
to feeling as to sight?

Or art thou but a dagger of
the mind, a false creation,

proceeding from the heat-oppressive brain?

I see thee yet.

In form as palpable as
this, which now I draw.

I go, and it is done.

The bell invites me.

Hear it not, Duncan, for
it is a knell which summons

thee to heaven or to
hell. Listen to him up there.

He could play Natchez forever.

You don't talk too much.

You know, Julie, you were honest with me,
so I think I'd better be honest with you.

Now, show business is fine.

But... This is just a one-night stand.

Well, that's life on the river.

Different town every night.

Different girl.

Well, I just wanted you to know...

I didn't want you to get any wrong ideas.

Oh, I understand.

You do?

Well, in that case, honey, you just...
