[ 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 ?

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 .

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 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 : .

[ 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?!

I couldn't help it.

He had me checkmated

Why didn't you play
another game?

We played four!

is the long one.

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 $ 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 .

I'm very jealous.

They never let me
get past cloud .

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 : .

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 k*ll 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 --

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 w*r 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!
