Clambake Page #3

Counting her treasures in tears

Better just a shack

Where two people care

Than a house that has everything

Everything but love

I see diamonds, sables

sapphires and pearls

And as the picture clears

Poor little rich girl sitting all alone

Counting her treasures in tears

Better just a shack

Where two people care

Than a house that has everything

Everything but love

Than a house that has everything

Everything but...

Love

- I think we better go.

- Yeah.

They better advance that engine.

It's running too cool.

That boat came in second

in last year's regatta.

She's not comin' in anywhere this year,

if they keep that up. Listen to it.

You've got a pretty good ear.

- Name's Burton. Sam Burton.

- Tom Wilson.

- I haven't seen you here before.

- I'm the hotel's ski instructor.

Oh. I thought you had something

to do with one of those outfits.

No. I'm just interested.

I've been around 'em.

- We lost one on that south turn last year.

- Yeah? What happened?

It was an experimental model

I was working on.

When she got up to 85 she began to

vibrate. At 90 she started coming apart.

I couldn't hold her

and we rammed into a pylon.

- Maybe you'll have better luck this year.

- I'm not entering this year.

Costs too much to rebuild her, with

the hope we'd find out what went wrong.

If you know of anybody that wants

a busted-up outfit, send 'em to my place.

- Your place?

- Burton Boat Company.

- Oh, you're that Sam Burton.

- Yes.

- Nice talking with you, Wilson.

- Same here, Mr. Burton.

- Water-skiing, anyone?

- Oh, hi.

I just saw JJ heading down to the beach.

In that case, you'd better get busy.

But this time I'll drive.

- Are you ready?

- Hit it.

Hey. Hey, who's that?

- Funny you should ask. That happens...

- Never mind. I'll find out for myself.

Let's go.

Pour it on! Let's go!

Go, go, go! Follow that boat.

- Get the girl!

- Yeah! Go! Go!

- Hi. Hi there.

- Hi, beautiful.

Hey, wait a minute. Turn, turn, turn!

Let's go! Come on! Go!

Wait for us. Not so fast.

Wait for us!

Hey, hey, hey, wait for us.

Hey, beautiful.

Slow down there!

Closer, Phil. Closer.

Hey, beautiful. Hold out your hand. Hey!

Give me your hand.

Easy, easy, easy. No, no, no!

Hey, look.

Come on.

- Are you all right?

- No. Turn around.

- What's the matter?

- I lost my top!

Oh, good timing.

Jamison's swimming over here.

Go back. Please go back. Go away!

Hey, that was really some

tricky skiing you were trying.

- I wasn't trying.

- Oh?

I lost my balance. Will you please go away.

- Her balance wasn't all she lost.

- Oh? Oh.

- Is this what you're looking for?

- Oh, please may I have it?

No. Not till you promise

to have a few drinks with me.

- All right, I promise, I promise.

- OK.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Say, can I help?

- No, I can manage all by myself, thanks.

- Turn around, please.

- Oh, oh.

- Back together?

- Yes, I'm fine now.

Come on, we'll go back in my boat.

- All right.

- You could start a whole new fad.

- What?

- Topless water-skiing.

Come on, let's go.

Yeah. Well, you can't blame a chick for

wantin' the finer things in life, can you?

Hey, Scott. Wait for me!

Hey, come on. Was it something I said?

It's a long way back.

Here, Flipper. Here, boy. Yoo-hoo!

- So the funny thing is she thinks...

- Oh, speak up. I'm a little waterlogged.

I said the funny thing is she thinks

I'm here for the same reason she is,

to marry for money.

If she's so interested in money,

how come she never made a play for me?

- Too much competition.

- Yeah. Guess so.

It'll be interesting to see

how she makes out with old JJ.

Of course, with Jamison

there's only one way.

What's the matter? That bother you?

No. It's her problem, not mine.

Hey, hey, kids. Hey, kids.

Kids, hold it down.

Quiet!

- What's the matter?

- They think I'm afraid to slide down.

- Why don't you show 'em they're wrong?

- Cos I am afraid.

- Come on. Try it.

- No.

- I'll stand right here and catch you.

- I can't.

You'll be surprised what you can do

if you only try.

When everyone thought

the world was flat

Columbus said it's round

He went down in history

And America was found

Cos he had

confidence

A little thing called

confidence

There's no job too immense

when you've got

Confidence

With a C and an O

and an N and an F

And an I and a D

and an ENCE

Put 'em all together

and what have you got?

Confidence

You'll be surprised what you can do

If you will only try

Remember the tortoise and the hare

Who had that famous race?

The speedy hare wound up nowhere

And slowpoke took first place

Cos he had

confidence

A little thing called

confidence

There's no job too immense

when you've got

Confidence

You'll be surprised what you can do

if you will only try

How do you know that you can't ride

a rainbow in the sky?

You'll be surprised what you can do

if you will only try

All you need is

confidence

A little thing called

confidence

There's no job too immense

when you've got

Confidence

- With a

- C

- And an

- O

- And a

- N

- And an

- F

- And a

- D

- And an

- ENCE

Put 'em all together

and what have you got?

Confidence

- Ice cream for everybody.

- Yeah!

- You have a way with children.

- I believe it's the other way around.

Wilson, the binding on my ski

needs an adjustment. Fix it, will you?

This'll take care of your trouble.

I thought we might take The Scarlet Lady

for a run. Then there's a clambake tonight.

Now I ask you, how

you gonna compete with all that money?

- One way would be in the race.

- We have a boat?

- We have three, but they're in Texas.

- On your salary, that's where they'll stay.

- But with your bank account...

- Hold it, pal.

Aren't you trying to prove something,

without using your money?

Thanks. Just forget the whole thing.

Hey, I just thought of something.

I know where I might get a boat.

For ten bucks?

Ten thousand would be more like it.

Even then, you couldn't get it in shape

for the Orange Bowl race.

- Could we see it?

- Sure. Come on along.

But I want to tell you one thing. I spent

a lot of time and money on this boat.

The condition it's in now,

I don't think you've got a prayer.

Hull needs rebuilding, and the engine.

Too much money for you, Tom,

unless your friend wants to sponsor you.

Well, ole sport, here's my checkbook.

If you say so, I'll fill her out.

I'm tempted, but no, thanks.

What... What makes you so sure

you can solve the problem,

when my engineers feel it's a lost cause?

I'm not sure, but I'd like to try.

- You know you've two weeks to the race?

- I sure do.

- And still you wanna do it on your own?

- Yeah.

Well, I admire that.

The Orange Bowl Regatta

has a purse of $10,000.

If you win it, we'll split it fifty-fifty.

Fair enough?

- You're not kiddin' me, are ya?

- No, son, I'm not.

- Hey!

- How 'bout that, pal?

- OK. Where'd you like to work on her?

- Well, the ski shop at the hotel is fine.

All right. She's all yours.
