to make a move...

- Mr. Jamison?

- Yeah, Charlie.

I put that new prop on,

set her in the water, waitin' for ya.

I'll be right there.

Ladies, as much as I hate to leave you.

- Don't go. Finish your story.

- Oh, well, to make a long story short...

I won.

And I set a new record

when I was doing it, too.

But right now my very first love

is this coming race,

so I'm gonna take The Scarlet Lady out

to North Point, put her through her paces.

And I might, just might, be able to squeeze

in one passenger. Any volunteers?

- I'd like to go.

- You would?

Mr. Jamison, I just love to squeeze.

So do I. Come here.

- Yes?

- I'm Wilson. Tom Wilson.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.

We're really very full up.

- Oh, I'm not looking for a room.

- Oh, good.

I'm the new ski instructor.

Oh. Oh, Wilson!

- The employees' quarters are...

- Excuse me, Mr. Hathaway.

- You're the new ski instructor?

- Care for an appointment tomorrow?

- Not tomorrow. Now.

- Mr. Wilson doesn't start until tomorrow.

Well, Mr. Wilson, could you, as a special

favor to me, start your lessons today?

I guess I could.

I have to check in my room, drop this off.

Fine, fine. Let's meet at the ski dock

in five minutes?

- Five minutes?

- Unless you can make it sooner.

- Mr. Hathaway.

- Yes?

Exactly where is North Point?

- Are you sure you need lessons?

- Oh, yes, yes.

Thought you'd wipe out for sure that time.

Guess I was lucky.

- Sure is a beauty.

- Yes, isn't he?

- Somebody you know?

- Not yet.

What are you tryin' to do?

Anything else I can teach you?

So then what happened?

I was teachin' her to keep her balance

and then this hot boat goes by.

She starts doin' stunts like she

was born and raised in Cypress Gardens.

- Where may I ask did you get that?

- Nifty, huh? I knew you'd like it. 20 bucks.

- I never paid 20 bucks for a tie in my life.

- You did today.

Next time, let me pick 'em out.

It is my reputation.

And, boy, am I gonna have fun with it.

Tonight I'm double-dating with

a fellow millionaire, name of Jamison.

- Maybe you know him. He's in jammies.

- In what?

Jammies, those things girls wear that are

supposed to be nightgowns. He's in 'em.

- He wears 'em?

- No, he makes 'em.

- The jammies?

- Yeah.

He comes down once a year for the race.

He's won the last three in a row,

which is no wonder, considering

that boat of his. It must've cost a fortune.

I wonder if he's got more money than I do.

Anyhow, she's a big red job, you know,

and as she comes out of that water...

- That wouldn't be The Scarlet Lady?

- Yeah.

That's the boat Dianne put on the show for.

Oh, I've got it. She's after him too, huh?

As far as tonight is concerned, her little

prank of this afternoon came to nought.

Jammies Jamison and I

have made other plans.

- Straighten your tie anyway.

- Thank you. Make yourself comfortable.

Should you need anything, just call for

room service. Feel free to sign my name.

Oh, thanks. Get outta here.

- Hey, Mr. Jamison.

- Hi, Paul. Same as always, please.

JJ special, right? Got it waitin' for you.

Hey, Mr. Jamison,

I wanna ask you somethin'.

You've come in here for years.

My wife's been buggin' me.

She wants me to ask would it be possible

to get some Jamie Jammies wholesale?

- Hate to ask you, but...

- Your wife?

- Yeah.

- Sure!

Yeah, my wife, really. My wife!

- Really?

- Yeah.

Sure, Paul. I'll take care of it

as soon as I get back to New York.

As a matter of fact, we have a new item

that's coming out this year.

Well, it is so sheer, you don't know where

the jammie stops and the girl starts.

Hey, hey, hey!

- Forget it.

- Huh?

I got six kids already.

More I don't need, right?

Oh, yeah.

- How 'bout something in flannel?

- Flannel?

Yes, Miss. What'll it be?

- What is that?

- That? That's a JJ special.

That looks interesting.

Or would dangerous be a better word?

That all depends on your mood. It can be

interesting or dangerous, or both.

Oh, I see.

In your case, it would make you

dangerously interesting.

- I'll have one.

- You got one.

Pardon my curiosity, but haven't I

seen you before, like this afternoon?

- I doubt it. I was skiing this afternoon.

- Oh, then it was you.

Remember the racing boat that stopped?

- The Scarlet Lady?

- Oh.

- That was me.

- Oh, really.

- That was some fancy maneuvering.

- Oh, that was nothing.

Well, I'm James Jamison.

- And you're?

- Dianne Carter.

How do you do?

Hey, ole saddle-buddy.

Yahoo!

Oh, Scotty.

Excuse me.

Oh, Gloria, this is JJ Jamison.

- How do you do?

- Likewise, I'm sure.

Come on, JJ, let's bust outta this here

corral and stampede us some excitement.

- You ready to go?

- Ready, willing and able.

Be right back.

I'll see you.

We're off.

- Well, hi.

- You waitin' for someone?

- Not any more.

- Well, in that case, may I?

Yes.

- About that ski lesson this afternoon.

- I guess I do owe you an apology.

That's all right.

Just don't let it happen again.

This is my first time in Miami

and you're the first girl I've met.

Thought I'd look around.

Would you like to come along?

Why not? It sounds like fun.

- I got it. See you as soon as we change.

- Change?

Sure. Slacks are your best bet

on a motorcycle.

- A motorcycle? You must be kidding.

- Sorry. That's the way I travel.

- I'll meet you in...

- Five minutes.

- Five minutes?

- Unless you can make it sooner.

Touch.

- How you doin'?

- Fine.

- Hey, come on.

- OK.

Oh, I must be getting old.

Look, I get off work tomorrow at four.

How'd you like to go for a boat ride and...

No.

Tom, don't waste your time with me.

I'm not rich and my family's not rich.

- What do you mean?

- I understand.

You guys come here for the season,

cabana boys, lifeguards, ski instructors,

all hoping to find a girl

with money, lots of it.

- Oh, I see. I was that obvious?

- Oh, no. No.

It just takes one to know one.

We're two of a kind.

What do you think I'm doing down here?

I mean, for years I scrimped and saved.

I even went into hock.

Half my clothes are borrowed and

the other half I sewed Saks labels into

- just so I could come down here and...

- Land a millionaire.

Right. I admit it.

I don't know why I'm telling you this.

I don't even know why you went out

with me. It's not in your plans.

I guess I kind of like you. Besides,

who knows, might even make him jealous.

- Him being Jamison?

- Yes.

- Maybe you need a few more ski lessons.

- You'll help me?

Why not? If it pays off,

you might return the favor.

And who knows? Maybe he's got a sister.

They tell me if you look deep enough into

a fire, you can sometimes see the future.

Well, what do you see?

I can see you now

Living like a queen

In a house that has everything

Everything but love

Crystal chandeliers

Chauffeured limousines

Yes, you'll really have everything

Everything but love

I see diamonds and sables

sapphires and pearls

And as the picture clears

Poor little rich girl sitting all alone
