A REAL MILLIONAIRE...

- OBVIOUSLY HE DOESN'T KNOW THERE'S

A CAMERA THERE. - MY BROTHER'S SO SHY.

...PRINCESS MARINA

- 'CAUSE SHE DON'T CARE.

- Pat:
OH YEAH.

LET'S HEAR I FOR LANCE LOUD.

- GO LANCE!

- I LIKED IT.

MOM.

PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NO ABOUT TO START WHINING.

WELL, YOU SAID THA WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT.

AFTER JUST 10 DAYS,

DELILAH?

MOM, 10 DAYS IN TAOS

IS AN ETERNITY.

MISS LOUD, MY MOM SAID I CAN TAKE

THE BUS BACK IF DELILAH COMES WITH.

- HELLO?

- WHO IS IT, SWEETIE?

HI.

MR. GILBERT.

DAD SAID THAT WE COULD COME BACK

WHENEVER WE WANTED, JUST CALL ANYTIME.

HE SAID HE'D HAVE DINNER

ON THE TABLE. MOM.

FINE.

TAKE THE BUS TOMORROW.

YES!

AT LAST,

A GROWNUP TO TALK TO.

- HOW'S YOUR TRIP?

- Fine.

I was kind of hoping that you

might turn up here tomorrow.

- Why? - FEELING A LITTLE SULTRY,

I GUESS.

Listen, this is...

VERY HARD FOR ME

TO DISCUSS.

I'VE BEEN DEBATING

WHETHER TO CALL OR NOT.

But as a friend,

I felt that I should.

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

I saw Bill

before I left

AND HE TOOK ME:

FOR A RIDE TO MALIBU

to see a friend.

WHO?

ANDY PLATT?

NO NO, NOT ANDY PLATT.

HER NAME WAS SALLY.

And she gave me

an 8x10 glossy

AND A TAPE OF HER SINGING

"THE SOUND OF MUSIC."

LOOK, I CAN FLY OU TO SANTA BARBARA TOMORROW

AND YOU CAN:

MEET ME THERE:

and we'll talk

things through.

I understand

what you're feeling.

I'M STILL RAW

FROM MY OWN SITUATION.

- Patty.

- WE'RE FILMING TOMORROW.

WELL, I'M THE PRODUCER.

I CAN CHANGE THE SCHEDULE.

No.

IF SINGING SALLY

EVER SEES ME ON TV,

I WANT HER TO SEE ME HERE

IN THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

HONESTLY, IF I HEAR

ANOTHER ACCORDION,

I'M GOING TO VOMIT ALL

OVER THIS TABLE. I REALLY AM.

I'M SERIOUS, CAN'T YOU ASK

YOUR FATHER FOR MORE MONEY?

I'M GETTING BORED HERE.

BORED IN PARIS-- WHO KNEW

THAT WAS POSSIBLE?

I ACTUALLY MISS:

SANTA BARBARA.

In Santa Barbara, firefighters

continue to battle a wildfire

that started in the ridges

above Mountain Drive.

One home has been lost

and many more are threatened.

Police and firemen

are evacuating residents...

OH, MOM, IT'S BURNING

AROUND HERE.

I'm here alone.

I don't know what to do.

PUT YOUR FATHER:

ON THE PHONE.

NO, HE'S NOT HERE EITHER.

HE DIDN'T SHOW UP.

- WHAT?

- He called to say

THAT HE WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS,

BUT HE WOULDN'T SAY WHERE.

SON OF A B*TCH. LISTEN,

GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

- THE POLICE ARE HERE.

- I'm still 10 hours away.

OH, MOM, I THINK

THE COPS ARE HERE FOR US.

GO GO.

FOR GOD'S SAKE, GO.

MOM!

GRANT.

- OH BABIES.

- MOM.

- DELILAH. - MOM, THE ENTIRE

HILL WAS BURNING.

I WAS SO WORRIED.

- WE'RE OKAY.

- IT'S OKAY, MOM.

I'M FINE.

REALLY, IT'S OKAY.

- OH MY GOD.

- MOM, LANCE IS COMING HOME.

WHAT?

MY BABIES:

ARE COMING HOME.

A TRUE UNIDENTIFIED

FLYING OBJECT.

OH MY GOSH.

WHO IS THIS?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

HI! YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

- I FOUND THIS IN FRANCE.

- OH MY GOD.

I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE IT.

YOU CAN THROW IT ON.

YOU CAN WEAR I FOR A CONCERT,

JUST TO REALLY SPARK UP

SANTA BARBARA AND ALL THAT.

HEY, DAD'S HOME.

WELL, IT'S

THE LONE RANGER.

- HI, DAD.

- MY WORLD TRAVELER.

HI.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

YOU LOOK GOOD.

OH WAIT, LOOK.

I GOT YOU A PRESENT.

OH, THANK YOU, LANCE.

THAT'S A SHARP-LOOKING

TIE THERE, LANCE.

- YOU LIKE IT?

- IT SURE IS. YEAH.

- IT HAS LOTS OF COLORS.

- THANK YOU.

THAT'S FOR YOU.

OOH, WHAT'S THIS,

KEMOSABE?

$300,000 WORTH

OF SHOVEL TEETH.

THAT'S MORE THAN WORTH

THE WEEKEND:

IN THE HELL HOLE OF FRESNO,

WOULDN'T YOU SAY?

WELL, I'M SURE

IT WAS HELL, BILL.

SAY, ISN'T THIS

FIESTA DAY?

WHO WANTS TO GO:

TO THE PARADE?

PATTY?

WELL, I'M SHOPPING

FOR HELEN HARRISON.

YOU KNOW, HER HOUSE

BURNED DOWN.

OH YEAH, I HEARD

ABOUT THE FIRE.

YEAH, I ALMOST DIED.

YOU ALMOST DIED?

WOW.

WELL, THAT'S AWFUL,

BIG D.

WHEN I GOT HERE ON WEDNESDAY,

THE WHOLE PATIO WAS COVERED IN ASH.

IS THAT WHY:

THAT POOL'S SO GREEN?

NO, THAT'S ALGAE.

THE POOL MAN LEFT A NOTE.

HE COULDN'T GET IN.

APPARENTLY YOU LOCKED

THE PATIO:

WHEN YOU WENT TO,

UM, FRESNO.

BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS,

THAT WAS QUITE SOME TIME AGO.

WELL, I MADE IT BACK

FOR FIESTA.

HOW ABOUT I FLIP

SOME BURGERS:

FOR THE COMMUNITY BUFFE AT EL PASEO TONIGHT?

WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT, BILL? WHY DON' YOU FLIP SOME BURGERS FOR THE BUFFET?

I'M SURE THE CREW WOULD LOVE

TO GET A NICE SHOT OF THAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT THE SAD

TRUTH IS?

THE KIDS ADORE:

THEIR DADDY.

EVEN LANCE,

BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

BUT SOMEWHERE:

ALONG THE LINE:

HE LOST THE LINK

TO ANYTHING THAT'S REAL--

TO ME, TO THEM,

TO HIS HOME.

AND I'VE FINALLY GIVEN UP

ON PULLING HIM BACK.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

WOW, THE MENU

HASN'T CHANGED.

OH, YOU'VE BEEN

HERE BEFORE.

I ACTUALLY--

I PICKED UP A MAN

IN THAT BAR ONCE.

REALLY?

WELL, I'M ASTONISHED.

WHAT, THAT I COULD

DO SUCH A THING?

NO, THAT YOU WOULD

TELL ME.

BACK WHEN I CAUGHT BILL

RUNNING AROUND,

HE KEPT GOING ON AND ON

ABOUT AN OPEN MARRIAGE.

I GUESS I WAS:

ALREADY IN ONE,

JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT.

ANYWAY, HE ACTUALLY

ENCOURAGED ME:

TO PARTICIPATE.

I GAVE IT A TRY.

IT WASN'T FOR ME.

AND THEN I--

I GAVE HIM:

AN ULTIMATUM.

I THINK THAT MEN HANDLE

AGING DIFFERENTLY THAN WOMEN.

ALAN, ALAN, ALAN,

ALAN, ALAN.

READY?

HERE WE GO.

- WOW.

- NO NO, WAIT.

CUT. ROLL AGAIN.

HERE WE GO.

READY? ALAN, READY?

ALAN, READY?

LANCE, ARE YOU

SEEING THIS?

WHERE'S PATTY?

SHE LOVES THIS.

AH, THERE SHE IS.

SHE CERTAINLY ISN' WINNING ANY POINTS

FOR ELEGANCE NOW,

IS SHE?

YOU'D THINK I'D BE HAPPY

SHE'S NO BEAUTY QUEEN.

SOMEHOW IT JUST MAKES

IT ALL A LITTLE WORSE.

DID I DO THE WRONG THING

SHOWING IT TO YOU?

NO, I--

I'VE BUILT AN ENTIRE LIFE

LOOKING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

I THINK IT'S TIME

I LOOKED THEM IN THE EYE.

WELL, THERE'S MORE

TO TELL:

IF YOU'RE READY

TO HEAR IT.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO HEAR

THAT TAPE OF HER SINGING.

NO, YOU WOULDN'T.

I COULD REALLY:

USE A LAUGH.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

IT'S UP IN MY ROOM.

I'LL GO GET IT.

WAIT, I'LL GO WITH YOU.

- REALLY?

- WELL, WHY NOT?

I'M USED TO RAISING

EYEBROWS IN THIS PLACE.

ALL RIGHT.

DID YOU READ THAT LAST ONE? YOU

DIDN'T READ THAT LAST ONE, DID YOU?

KAY, I INSIS YOU SIT RIGHT HERE.

VIVA LA FIESTA,

PATRICIA.

I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE

TO SAY IT, KAY,

BUT I ENVIED YOUR HUSBAND

FROM THE MOMENT WE MET.

AND I PITIED:

YOUR WIFE.

OH, SHE'S ALWAYS

MAD AT ME, KAY.

I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY.

I'M AT A DANGEROUS AGE.

- ARE YOU GETTING THIS?

- UNBELIEVABLE.

TELL JERRY I HOPE

HE FEELS BETTER.

PAN RIGHT AND PREPARE

TO SH*T YOUR PANTS.

WHAT THE HELL DOES

HE THINK HE'S DOING?

- SOMETHING TO EAT?

- SOME STEAKS.

- RARE?

- THANK YOU.

KEEP IT COMING.

THANK YOU, SENOR.

HEY, DARLING, I SAVED

THIS SPACE JUST FOR YOU.

HERE, USE THIS.

OH, THERE YOU ARE.

WHAT'S THAT FOR?

- HER PHONE NUMBER.

- THERE YOU GO AGAIN.

OH, LOOK WHO'S HERE--

CECIL B. DeMILLE.

WELCOME TO FIESTA,

MR. DeMILLE.

- VIVA LA FIESTA, BILL.

- VIVA LA FIESTA.

CRAIG, YOU CAN'T BE

IN THE SHOT.

JUST FRAME ME OUT.

PATTY AND I HAD A LONG TALK
