Attention,
ladies and gentlemen.

Our celebrity cruise
to acapulco

is now ready for boarding.

Come on, Julie.

Can't you tell me
any of the stars

that'll be sailing with us?
-No.

Sorry, Vicki.
It's a big secret.

Not even a hint?
Sounds like?

First syllable?

Well, to tell you the truth,
I don't know.

-You don't know?
-No.

See, my friends
Doris and Marsha

have opened a public relations
firm in Hollywood,

and they've arranged
the whole thing.

The only thing I do know

is that they've booked cabins
on this cruise

and promised to fill them up
with really big stars.

-Hi!
-Julie!

Oh, there they are.
Vicki, I'll fill you in later.

-Oh, hooray!
-Marsha, Doris,

have I been
looking for you!

Listen.
I'm so sorry we're late,

but we had last-minute details,
everything, you know.

Julie, we told you we'd
bring you a lot of surprises,

-mm-hmm.
-The biggies, huh?

We didn't let you down,
did we?

Well, I don't know.
I haven't seen anybody.

What do you mean?
You haven't seen anybody yet?

No, I -- I thought
they were coming with you.

Oh, well, now,
don't worry about it.

I'm sure
they're just waiting

to make
a last-minute entrance...

Entrance. Right?

Well, I certainly
hope you're right

'cause captain stubing's
getting very excited

about this cruise,

and I'm very excited
about keeping my job.

Woman: Did you say...

You did tell 'em the right ship,
didn't you?

Well, sure,
the island Princess.

Afternoon, ladies.

Welcome aboard
the pacific Princess.

Oh, no.

Uh, excuse me.
I'm Eddie riggins.

Has a Ms. Gloria Baxter
boarded yet?

Let's see. Baxter...
No, she hasn't.

Strange.

Lawyers are usually
on time.

Well, maybe she got stuck
in traffic or court

or maybe traffic court.

She doesn't handle
petty cases like that.

She's a criminal lawyer.

Well, I hope you're not one
of her clients.

I was.

Eddie!

-Oh, hi!
-Hi!

Ready for Mexico?
-Yeah, I guess so.

But I still feel funny
about this,

you paying for my cruise

after all you've done
for me already.

Oh, Eddie.
Please.

I just want to make sure
that your new life

starts out
on a high note.

Besides, you deserved
to be pardoned.

Well, I wouldn't have been
pardoned if you hadn't

believed in me,
Ms. Baxter.

Uh, our attorney-client
relationship is over, okay?

It's Gloria.

Gloria.

Right up these stairs
to the boat deck.

That'll give you the best sight
in the harbor.

Doc, speaking of sights,

look who's on our celebrity
cruise -- Phyllis Faraday!

Adamo!

Buongiorno!

Phyllis!

Oh, what a surprise!

It's so good to see you.
-Oh, caro mio!

What's with the Italian?

I'm traveling incognito.

Que Bella fegato.

You ought to try
another language.

You just said,
"what a beautiful liver."

Ms. Faraday --

shh, shh, shh.

...you are one
of my favorite performers.

This is gopher Smith,
our assistant purser.

Gopher, you remember,
uh, Connie carruthers,

my ex-mother-in-law?

Well, Phyllis and Connie
are very close friends.

They must've starred in
more Broadway shows together

than you and I
have taken cruises together.

I didn't know you were gonna be
on the celebrity cruise.

Neither did I!

Oh, well, that makes
uno, due and...

Tre.

Grazie.
three.

Then this is just
a pleasure trip?

Oh, no, no, no, no,
adamo.

A mission muito importante.
And only you can help me.

Moi? How?

May I come to your office
right after we sail?

Of course.

Oh, I knew I could count on you.
I just knew it.

Ciao!

Oh, it's just our luck.

You can't make a call
when the ship's in port.

And I checked the brochure,

and the island Princess
is on its way to Alaska.

Oh, Doris.

How could we mess up
this way?

Ooh, I don't know.
Forget it.

It could happen
to anybody.

Let's just go find a rail
and jump off.

Good.

Doris, Marsha, I'd like
you to meet captain stubing.

Captain stubing,
Doris Talbot...

How do you do?
Welcome aboard.

-Marsha stern.
-Hi, how are you?

I can't tell you
how pleased I am

about
this celebrity cruise.

I'm very proud of Julie
for having worked it out.

It's quite a feather in her cap.
-Thank you, sir.

I'd like very much

to officially greet the stars
before we sail.

Uh, look, captain...

Captain, this is very,
very embarrassing.

Yes,
it is very embarrassing.

You see, captain,

all of our stars
are indisposed at the moment.

-All of them?
-Yes.

You see, um,
they're just resting up a bit

so that they can be
at their very best to entertain

all of your passengers.

Yeah.

Well, guess
I'll just have to wait.

Not too long, I hope.

-No.
-No.

Sir.

Are you crazy?

Well, we've got Julie
into this

and we've got
to get her out.

I...

Ahh.

Eh...

Ahh!

Oh, Doris, no.

You are not thinking
what I think you are thinking.

No.
-Do you have a better idea?

Oh, Doris, it's been five years
since we did the act.

And even when we did it,
it wasn't that great.

It's gonna be great now,

or our next appearance
is on the unemployment line.

Ooh.

Next to Julie.

[ Air horn blows ]

Hi!

Wow, you look great.

Oh, thanks.
I bought it for the cruise.

It's a good thing
you didn't wear that

on your weekly visits
to the prison.

I probably
would've jumped right

through the chicken wire
between us.

Well, I'm glad you didn't
because it wasn't chicken wire.

It was glass.
Remember?

No.

I was too busy
looking at you.

I do remember that blue dress
with the puffed sleeves

you wore the first time
you came.

And, uh, a white flannel skirt
with a red angora sweater.

Wow.
You've got some memory.

Well, I try to remember
the pleasant things.

Remember
what I was wearing?

Oh...

♪♪

I'm sure your throat
will feel better in no time.

All right.
We're alone now.

Why all the mystery?

Oh, Adam.

I have the greatest opportunity
of my entire career.

They want me to play the lead
in a Broadway musical

based on the life
of Florence nightingale.

Sounds like a fun show.

But in order to get into
the soul of the character,

i have to know what it's really
like to be a nurse,

to actually experience
the hardships,

the sacrifices,
the suffering,

the pain...
Florence went through.

But what can I do to help?

What indeed, Adam.

Let me be your nurse
on this cruise.

Oh, Phyllis.

Isaac sees more pain
and suffering than I do.

Well, maybe
you'll get lucky this time.

Please, Adam.

Please let me be
your nurse.

It would mean so much
to me. Please.

Well, I -- I don't have
any nurse's uniforms.

Oh.

Oh, silly boy.

Ta-da!

Little something from medical
supplies by halston?

Please, Adam.
I want this part so badly.

Okay.
We'll give it a shot.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Oh, grazie.

What the heck, my malpractice
insurance is all paid up.

Ah, one thing, though.
I don't think

Florence nightingale
wore all those diamonds.

Oh, of course not, Adam.

But Florence nightingale
never played Vegas.

♪♪

Julie, you know, people

are so anxious to see
celebrities on this cruise

that a couple actually thought
I was Reggie Jackson?

No.

Billy Dee Williams?
Robert redford?

-Oh!
-Will you cut that out?

You've been doing that
every minutes.

Why don't you wait
until you see a real celebrity?

Oh!

[ Crowd murmuring ]

[ As Dolly Parton ]
Hi, y'all. Hi!

Dolly Parton!

[ Humming ]

I'm Dolly Parton.

I just wish
my autograph was clear.

But that's as close
as I could get to the book.

Julie,
what do you think, huh?

Oh, Marsha.
I knew you could do miracles,

but I never
expected Dolly Parton.

I've got to meet her.
-Uh, wait a minute, Julie.

We have to talk
about the celebrity

cabaret tomorrow night.
-No...

Let's go someplace nice
and quiet.

There.

That looks
so much more inviting.

[ Knock on door ]

Yes, may I help you?

Oh, the doctor isn't here?

Are you sick?

Please, come in.
Why don't you lie down?

-No, no. I just -- I...
-Are you in terrible pain?

No, I got
a little splinter...

Oh, no. No, that could mean
a terrible infection.

You know,
I'd better look at that.

Just sit down on the table
there, please.

Thank you.
Yes.

-Well, it's just that...
-Oh, no. No. No.

Oh, now I know
what Florence nightingale
went through.

-Well, what have we here?
-Oh.

A splinter case, doctor.

It's really nothing,
I mean, just...

Oh, what does he know,
doctor?

I'll take over, nurse.

Little -gallon braiding
here is, uh...

Oh, that should
come out easily.

Yeah.

Uh...ah.

All set, mister...

Zacchary.
Sam zacchary.

Thank you.
Thank you, doc.

-Oh, you're welcome.
-That's nice.

-Just when I...
-Shall I close him up, doctor?

No, let's take a chance

that it will heal
without stitches.

I hate a doctor
who takes chances.

Hold these.

Thank you.

Um, haven't I seen
you someplace before?

Uh...uh, no.

No, I don't think so.

Well, your face
sure is familiar.

Oh, well,
I just happen to have

one of those
kind of faces.

You know,
the girl next door.

By golly, not next door
to any place I ever lived.

[ Both laugh ]

Oh, I didn't know
if you heard,

but my name
is Sam zacchary.

Sam.
What's yours?

Uh, Phyllis.

Oh, I like Phyllis,
Phyllis.

I like Sam, Sam.

I wonder
if I could persuade you

to have dinner
with me this evening.

Uh, no.

No, you see,
they don't like the help

to mingle
with the passengers.

But I might need
some constant care, here.

Okay, dinner it is.

♪♪

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Ah...

You ordered wine?

Yeah, well, I figured
it's the least I could do.

And this is
a very special occasion.

Well, Eddie,
that was very nice.

To the greatest woman lawyer
in the world.

No, wait.

Make that to the greatest lawyer
in the world.

Wait.

Better yet, to
the greatest woman in the world.

You should write a book
of toasts.

So, how's the job hunting
coming along?

Mm, not great.

The bank came up
with a million excuses

not to give me
my old job back.

Seems people are wary
of hiring an ex-con,

even though
he was proven innocent.

Well, you'll find something,
I know you will.

Maybe I already have.

You know, Ms. Talbot, we were
kind of hoping you'd bring

some of your, um,
celebrity guests to dinner,

so we could get to meet them.

-Gopher.
-Well, no, he's right, dad.

The only celebrity we've seen
so far is Dolly Parton.

And she didn't stay
very long.

Yeah, I was hoping
to have dinner with Bo Derek.

You know, Ms. Talbot,
they do have a point.

Well, sir, I'm sure someone
will show up soon.

[ Normal voice ] Oh, i'm
willing to make a bet on it.

[ As Bette midler ]
Hi, ho, people.

[ Applause ]

It's Bette midler!

Oh, this is her own
divine Ms. M.

Showered, powdered and painted
into the ravishing beauty

you see before your eyes.

You know, I would've been here
sooner, oh, of course I would.

But I been working
on a sequel to "e.T."

In this one, e.T. And I,
we're sitting on the porch.

And we're smooching like crazy.

And e.T. Says, "what the hell,
I'll call home tomorrow."

Excuse me.

Could you persuade her
to join us?

Bette!
Over here!

Oh, hi, honey.
Oh, no. I can't.

Oh, no. I've got to get out
of this sun suit.

Oh, I see I'm almost
out of it already.

It's my time.
Oh, dear.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

[ Applause ]

Isn't she wonderful?

Well, I reckon I just don't
cotton much to show people.

Oh, really?

Well, I like real people...
Like you.

Like me?

Uh...you're an angel
of mercy.

Mercy?

Mercy, mercy.

[ Slow music plays,
indistinct conversations ]

Well,
it's hard to believe

you haven't danced
in a year.

You're fantastic!
-Hmm.

Maybe I should get a job
as a dance instructor,

spend
the rest of my life

teaching lonely ladies
how to waltz.

Oh, Eddie, please.
Don't worry.

I believe in you.
I really do.

Oh, thanks.

Without your faith in me,
I guess I wouldn't be here.

You know, when you're locked up
in prison for a year,

you have a lot of time
to think.

I used to fantasize
just to keep my sanity.

Well, we all
fantasize sometimes.

I always had
the same fantasy --

finding the perfect lady,

getting married,
raising a family.

Well, you know what they say,

sometimes what you're looking
for is right under your nose.

I'm beginning to think that
calling this a celebrity cruise

was misleading.

What do you mean, sir?

Bette midler,
Dolly Parton...

Those are two big ones.

Bette midler
and Dolly Parton

played peekaboo
with the passengers.

As for
the other celebrities,

their favorite game
seems to be hide-and-seek.

Well, sir,
Doris and Marsha

promised me
that tomorrow morning...

Tomorrow morning,
Ms. McCoy?

What about
the autograph party

you promised the passengers
tonight?

[ Gasps ]
Oh, yes, sir.

I'll get on that
right away.

[ Normal voice ] I can't believe
we are pulling this off.

But it's not gonna work,
Doris.

They're gonna find us out.

Well, maybe they won't.

And we'll just keep doing
what we're doing.

We'll sort of make a brief
appearance here and there.

Just sort of a hit-and-run.

Good evening.

We'd like to remind you

of our gala celebrity autograph
party later tonight

in the purser's lobby.
See you then.

Forget the hitting,
let's start running.

You just said it,
we can't quit now.

We can't do that
to Julie.

Huh?

Now, let's see.

Who can we go as?

We?
I just did Bette midler.

Doris, it is your turn.

Now -- now, just a minute.
We're in this together.

Now, let's dream up
something.

I'm gonna go
change my clothes

and I'll see you
at the party.

Doris!

Who are you going as?

Well, I don't know yet,
but you'll recognize me.

I'll be the only
other celebrity there.

Isn't it lovely?

Better dancing out here

a real good dancer, too.

You really mean that?

Well, for a nurse, I...

Oh. [ Laughs ]

Come here.

Where are we going?

We're gonna go

Not always.

You love me?

with the captain.

Julie, Phyllis has problems
of her own.

This may be just the thing
I need.

I'm going
through an identity crisis.

♪♪

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Ah, here you go, Mr. Riggins,
a little pick-me-up.

Another pick-me-up,
I'll fall flat on my face.

May I join you?

Sure.

I've been
looking everywhere for you.

Vicki said the last time
she saw you,

you were staring out
at the sea.

Yeah, well,
now I'm staring down into this

and I'm trying to decide
which one to drown in.

I was packing to leave,

but I couldn't go
through with it.

I love you too much
to give you up.

Eddie, I'll marry you.

That's great.

If you'll go back
and admit your guilt.

Oh, Gloria,
I love you, too.

I really do.

But that's just asking
too much of love.

I couldn't stand
going back to prison.

You don't know
what it's like there.

Being locked up
day and night,

the monotony,
the degradation...

It's like a living death.

You grab at any shot
at freedom you can get.

If you're guilty,
there is no freedom, Eddie.

Look, I know I did wrong.

And I will pay back
the money I stole

if I have to work
the rest of my life to do it.

But I am not going back
to prison,

not for you
or anybody else.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight,

our celebrity cruise
continues

in the acapulco lounge

with the lovely
Ms. Phyllis Faraday.

Won't you join us?

[ Indistinct conversations,
soft music plays ]

Uh, good evening,
Mr. Zacchary.

Thanks for agreeing
to see me.

Hey, doc. Yeah,
what can I do for you?

Well, I just want to apologize
to you in person.

Apologize for -- for what?

Well, for allowing Ms. Faraday
to be my nurse on this cruise.

If I hadn't,
you two wouldn't have met

and had all that trouble.

I didn't say a thing
about trouble, I...

Well, I know any man
enjoys the company

of a beautiful woman.

But what good is beauty
without warmth, understanding,

a sense of humor,
compassion?

Well, Phyllis,
she has all those qualities?

Oh? Well,
I don't know her that well.

But you can't get
around the fact

that she's
a professional entertainer.

Hmm.

Yeah, she --
she fooled me.

Oh, me too.

So even if she is beautiful,
warm, understanding,

compassionate
and delightful,

she's still an actress.

And that spoils everything.

Am I really
that big a fool?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Excuse me.

Ms. McCoy, I think it's time
to tell the passengers

that our celebrity cabaret

will be featuring
only one celebrity.

Yes, sir.

But, first,
may I give Ms. Faraday

a proper introduction?
-Of course.

[ Introduction plays ]

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen,

and welcome to our, uh,
celebrity cabaret.

May I present a performer
that was not originally

scheduled
for tonight's performance,

but she's agreed to sing for us?

Ladies and gentlemen,

the toast of Broadway,
Ms. Phyllis Faraday.

See, all the other celebrities
that you've seen on this cruise

have actually been
impersonators.

There are no other celebrities
onboard this ship.

[ As Mae west ] Uh-uh.
That's what you think, honey.

Good evening, everybody.
Good evening, everybody.

A big surprise, a big surprise.

I wanted to join you tonight

When I'm good,
I'm very, very good.

But when I'm bad, I'm better.

I even gave up sex once.

It was the longest night
of my life.

All right, folks.

I'm gonna take a little leave

I'll miss you all.

One ringy-dingy,
two ringy-dingies

and a gracious hello
from Alexander Graham's

little southern belle.
Oh, Felicia, listen.

I'll have you know I am
a unique combination in a woman.

I'm a sex symbol
and a high school graduate.

[ As liberace ] Oh, Lily.
You were so wonderful.

I've admired you
for years, Lily.

Where's my candelabra?

[ As dinah shore ] Oh,
liberace, you're so wonderful.

Dinah, dinah shore.

-Yes, it is me...
-I've loved you.

I always wanted
to play for you.

Oh, you're just so sweet.

Mm-hmm, nice hands...

You're even sweeter than I am,
and that's hard to be.

Let's just throw a kiss
to the people.

-Mwah!
-Mwah!

[ As prissy ]
Ms. Scarlett!

Ms. Scarlett,
Ms. Scarlett.

I don't know nothing
about birthing

no babies, Ms. Scarlett.

The Yankees is coming,
Ms. Scarlett.

The Yankees is coming.

[ As Ethel thayer ]
All right. All right.

Oh, dear, dear,
so they are, my dear.

Oh, my.
I found my calla lilies.

I love my calla lilies.
Oh...

I made a garden
on golden pond.

[ As Edith bunker ]
Oh, you want to go
on golden pond? Huh?

Yes, but I have to go now.
Bye.

Oh, well, I'm Edith,

and I think
you're terrific.

'Course,
Katharine hepburn

has always been
my favorite and Archie, too.

[ As Bette Davis ] Hello.
I'm happy to be here.

My name is Bette Davis.

Won't you join me?

Thank you.

Ah, well.

Take a hike, Turkey.

Right.

Ah, you sound like me.

Do I?

And you look like me.

Do I?

You've got Bette Davis...

Eyes.

And you've got
Bette Davis...

Eyes.

Both: And we've got
Bette Davis eyes.

We've got Bette Davis eyes.

We've got Bette Davis eyes.

We've got Bette Davis eyes.

We've got Bette Davis eyes.

We've got Bette Davis eyes.

We're now leaving acapulco,
ladies and gentlemen.

I hope you've enjoyed
your evening

as much as I've enjoyed mine.

Hey, did I ever tell you
about the accident

I had down
on my daddy's ranch

when I was just
a little fella?

No.

No, you didn't.
-Yeah, well, one day,

they was breaking this real
high-spirited horse, see?

And I was,
oh, I don't know,

, years along --
along in there.

And I had -- you wouldn't
believe this of me,

but I had
a pet bunny rabbit.

Well, he went hippety-hopping
to that corral,

and I went hippety-hop right
after him.

And that horse
kicked me right in the head.

-Oh, no.
-Oh, yeah.

And for
the next several years,

I did some
of the stupidest things

that you can just imagine.

Now, you would think
after all these years

that a fella like me
would kind of smarten up,

and...well, Phyllis, I --
I believe I've smartened up.

I -- I love you.

Oh, Sam.

I love you, too.

Well...

And it doesn't matter to you
that I'm an actress?

Nope.

And you don't care
that I'm the toast of Broadway

and I could be
called back to Hollywood

and probably win
an academy award?

Nope.

Oh, oh, Sam,
who cares, anyway?

Even if I don't win
an academy award,

I can always go back
to nursing.

Could you kiss it
and make it well?

Oh, Sam.

You win.

I'll marry you
on your terms.

No, I can't let you
do that.

You'd be compromising everything
you believed in,

including your ethics
as a lawyer.

I was a woman
before I was a lawyer.

I can stop being a lawyer,

but I've found out
I can't stop being a woman.

Well, that's too bad
because I'm gonna need both now.

What do you mean?

A woman to love me and
a lawyer to represent me.

Gloria, I'm going back
and confess what I did.

We can't have this hanging over
us for the rest of our lives.

I love you, Gloria.

Oh, Eddie.
I'm so proud of you.

Well, if you can't stop
being a woman,

Hey, doc.

Oh, Phyllis.

You look absolutely radiant.

Oh, thank you, Adam.

Sam and I are going
to tie the knot.

That's great!

We're going to live six months
of the year in New York

and six months in Wyoming.

-Uh-huh.
-Lucky lady.

Oh, I love spending half
of the year out of the country.

Well, I'll tell you,
pretty lady,

we'd better get back
to that ranch because,

according to my calendar,
my prize heifer

is about to give birth.

Oh, and I'm keeping one
of the puppies.

Ta-ta!

Oh, you look like
a happy couple.

We couldn't be happier.

Aren't you glad
you didn't get off in acapulco

and fly home?
-More than you'll ever know.

Eddie and I
are gonna get married.

Yeah, as soon
as we clear up a few details.

That's terrific.
When's the big day?

Well, that depends
on my lawyer.

When do you think,
counselor?

-I'd say a year to months.
-Hmm.

Oh, I get it.

You want a little freedom

before you tie on
the old ball and chain, huh?

[ Both laugh ]

I didn't think
it was that funny.

Well, I never thought I'd be
complimenting someone

for disobeying my orders.

You were terrific.

Well,
thanks for everything.

Besides,
we had a marvelous time.

Oh, in that case,
perhaps we

can persuade you
to sail with us again,

properly advertised,
of course.

Oh, are you kidding?
We'd love to.

Well, until our next trip,

[ as Humphrey bogart ]
Here's looking at you,
sweethearts.
