fingerprints Lonnie use Adam stationery huh I never thought I'd see the day when
I'd be forging Adam it's gonna be very angry yes - make up your mind Mac Feeny I can
get someone else you know timbrel is in town okay narrator could spark Emily's work well he's not emotionally involved
I'm not emotionally involved Adam was a good friend when he was one but Adam
isn't what he was anymore they change his spots no I did like the young lady
she favored mrs. McPhee knee around the eyes yes or no Mike Feeny
yes it's his own good but if you can't see that for himself then someone else mercy for him far away
my darling Claudine I have been thinking
about you ever since you got on that plane I can't understand why I was fool
enough to let you get on my very dear
could you possibly entertain the thought of marrying me
[Music]
back to adventures in paradise
[Music]
came I couldn't believe it but I must have believed it because here I am do you know what I did when I read your
letter I got so excited I started to cry and I got tears all over it kiss me yes
I called right up for a plane reservation and I left that very same night I've been in the air more than I've been on the ground the last week
but why not my head's in the clouds please kiss me Adam I'm so happy I'm so
happy at him are you as happy as I am no I mean yes I mean this isn't making any
sense to me I know it didn't me either every once awhile on a plane down here I
said to myself it isn't true it didn't happen I didn't read it I thought I read
then I'd read your letter again and I'd be right back in the cloud Mary don't
you remember what you wrote but not exactly oh I'm keeping this letter for as long
as I live Oh fourteen yeah there's something I have to tell you
but I'll tell you later [Music]

leave vegetables like this lying around I'll be back babe Alec break down a door
[Music]
well what's new jump you know exactly what's you and you know
that I know that you know exactly what's new hey would you mind running through that again there's only one mind in this world that
could have conceived of such a plan only one pair of hands it could have written that letter only one pair of hands I
could have stolen that letter and when I get my hands on those hands I'm gonna tear them off with the wrists ah Dave
wrists you're an estate friend you got to keep cool in the tropics you're not making
sense where's McGee Nino - whoo yeah babe Oh feel and make to me
there's no time to be funny where are they well I'll be your responsibility if
you've mislaid them it's hardly fair to come yelling at bean I don't know it keeps me I'm k*lling you well for
starters shall we say the law you know that Claudine came all the way down here from Massachusetts to get married to George oh no she didn't come down here
from Massachusetts to marry George wrong with my hearing shop she came here to marry me congratulations
count on me for a pair of silver candlesticks where's McBean E&O - I don't know but if they come in I'll tell
them that you were asking for all right it's gone far enough you've got to tell him what you did I
don't dig your chump what am I gonna say to her well I'm afraid I can't help you
there every man and maid have to find their own communication system you know
I didn't write that letter didn't you all right I'll tell her
myself I'll see you in church [Music]
[Applause]
[Applause]
Telenet if you thought we were the only people in the world yeah I wanted to
talk to you someplace where we could be completely alone you know privacy isn't always so easy to find on an island
beautiful everything is well surely it wasn't this beautiful a few days ago I
suppose you're wondering why I was gone so much today well you haven't been wandering I know you're busy and no I
ride without any warning there's something I've got to explain to you you
don't have to explain anything to me at him I'm not going to be one of those nagging wives and what to know where her
husband is every hour do you know what
mother said when she read your letter good she said My aren't you a lucky girl
and daddy said he couldn't have wished anything better for me yeah what did George say George was perfectly
wonderful he said I guess the best man won well that's not putting out much of
a fight George says people must marry for love and that if I love you he has
no right to stand in the way
there's something I have to tender yes Adam
[Music] I'll tell you tonight now what would you
like to have for dinner tonight French food Tahitian Chinese food better dance with
me Adam why didn't I once tell you a lady always waits to be asked okay
you did but I was only 10 and very cynical I knew you were saying it just
keeping dancing well I had to dance for you had to your mother made me what
fifty cents an hour to teach you how to dance gigolo that was hard work mowing lawns
was fifty cents an hour and that was easier to know you've been proved die I mean you used to spend most your time
dancing on top of my feet didn't you think you did a good job well I think
somebody has I cried when you went away to college I was jealous of all the
girls you were going to beat I remember you you asked me to marry you when you
were 13 I knew that was a terrible disadvantage but I was desperate do you
know what your answer was something salty not
you said if you still feel the same way when you go with school ask me again
and now here we are and I didn't have to ask you it all came true
[Music]
Adam what did you want to tell me [Music] tomorrow
[Music]
how to hit you right in the face sure
why did you marry her who Lily what her
father was willing to settle for second best as a matter of fact he insisted on it since her lover I became very very
fond of Lily in time have you ever been
in love many times how did you know a
man knows he's in love when a woman tells him i seven to kid about
oh hello - hello McPhee
he said today we simply had to have a long serious talk you know you haven't
said a single word but I've been thinking you know for about four or five
years my life's been a ship see and
what's yours been growing up getting educated getting launched in society
yeah when you came down there a couple of weeks ago huh why did you come down
George asked me to marry him and I found myself unable to the answer yes oh no without seeing you again you see
when a girl grows up with one idea in her mind she has to find out whether she's in love with a reality or in love
with a romantic figure she's made of herself if you hadn't gotten that letter
from me would you have married George I don't know but I think it we've been
very unfair to George up ahead
well I'm happy you hear me I'm happy you're here
[Music]
dear George George dear George and Adams handwriting you saw how he looked when
he came in the bar last night he was desperate we got him into this and we're gonna get him out of it well here the last man I thought would ever develop a
conscience I'm surprised myself but I felt sorry for him last night he he looked as though he'd gone into shock
start writing Mac Nene dear George the
more time I spend with Claudine the more I realize you're the man for her she
needs someone who goes to work in the morning and comes home at night and I am
a wanderer
bring over about a dozen Navy garage this is going to be a party hey what's the happy occasion
ah Dean and I are engaged well I'm certainly glad to hear that

so did my old chums yeah you're not angry any longer laddie angry you've
made me a very happy man we I hear congratulations are in order then I'm surprised aren't you how much

winters in Massachusetts in the summers in Tahiti that's fair isn't it what am I gonna do with the old Tiki
cellar no of course not it'll be wonderful for outings when it's
all painted and picked up things
I take my hair done I see a boat a later [Music]
they say there's always a period of readjustment but no two people are born
in the world understanding each other I know I just naturally assumed that you
wanted to live part of the time in Massachusetts I know you can give it a
thought I guess we're both pretty dense huh I guess so
little workout don't worry [Music]
Oh No I hope you're in a better humor
than you sound I'm not well a short life but a merry one uh Chum I I'm afraid
I've got you in a little hot water and it seems to be the best thing to do is to make a clean breast of things yeah
well I I've sent for George George Bennett ah what well I thought that you
wanted out of things with Claudine and it seemed to me the best thing to do was to get good old George down here so I had Mac fini write him a letter in your
handwriting where you stand still I'm just trying to keep out of striking range all right what did you say that
George ain't my hand well I uh well I said speaking for you that Claudine was
the kind of a girl who wanted a house in the suburbs and that George seemed to be the kind of a man who wanted a girl who
wanted a house in the suburbs and that you were a seafaring man who couldn't even stand a port LeBron well that was
just about it except that I you suggested that he gets an X plane down
here and talk some sense into Claudine and take her back where she belongs he thinks I wrote that letter he must have just found out he's on the 12
o'clock plane he's coming down actually thinking that I'll step aside so that he
can marry Claudine yes good good good
now you keep out of this [Music]
you don't know right
right [Music]
sure [Music]
a lucky man George I know and I've gotta say you've been darn decent about the
whole thing not at all I think the important thing here is our Dean's happiness I hope I didn't hurt
you Adam well muddle through you know we
never really could have been happy with George's ghost standing between us well
I hate to break this up but if we're gonna catch our plane just a second I wanted to tell you that I don't think
