Dangerous When Wet Page #5

- Oh, come on.

You know, it's most becoming,

the wind blowing through your hair.

- It is?

- It does nothing for me.

Now, what's the matter with you,

Windy?

- You're not getting seasick, are you?

- Who me?

- Have another piece of fried chicken.

- Don't, don't.

Now, what is it? You look green.

My mother was Irish.

- Why don't you go down below?

- I will for a few minutes.

- I'm tired. If I lie down...

- Don't do that.

- That's the worst thing he can do.

- I know. I hate myself.

- I think we'd better get the charts out.

- The charts?

Well, yes. We came out hero to study

the wind, the currents, the rip tides and...

- Yeah.

- Well, didn't we?

Yes.

Andre, aren't you interested

in my problems?

No, I have problems of my own.

What problems could you possibly have?

Really, now.

In my wildest dreams

I never thought we'd meet

I never knew how sweet

You'd be

Believe me

In my wildest dreams

If I combined them all

I never dreamed you'd fall

For me

How could I know

That I could love someone so?

Someone so meant

For me alone

Oh, no, my poor old heart

Never was more beguiled

Never in all my

Wildest

Dreams

- I'll call Windy.

- Go ahead.

Windy.

- Too bad you got sick like that, Windy.

- Watch it now, watch it.

- Come on.

- You all right, Windy?

- You'll be all right.

- Soon as you're on solid ground...

...you'll be fine, Windy.

I'll be right there.

- Goodbye, Andre.

- See you tonight.

- No.

- What do you mean "no"?

- Andre, I'm in training.

- Yes.

And I just don't think you have any idea

what that means.

- Oh, yes, I do.

- No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

I've got lot of things to do,

swimming and everything.

And, well, it's just that you distract me.

- I mean to.

- I know you do and it's nice of you, but...

- Well, distract me some other time, huh?

- Okay, tomorrow we'll go on a picnic.

We don't go on a picnic tomorrow.

I've got to swim all day tomorrow.

- You swim beautifully.

- I don't.

- I'm having trouble with my breathing...

- Me too.

Andre, will you stop?

- Sit down.

- All right, all right.

But what is it? What? What?

Now, take today.

We came out here to study the charts.

I was supposed to learn about the currents.

- Didn't you learn anything?

- The wind, the rip tides...

Didn't you learn anything?

Well, not about the currents and rip tides.

But there is so much time.

No, no, there isn't.

There isn't any time at all.

I'm gonna be going to France

in a few days and...

Well, you know how busy I'm gonna be.

It's like I said before.

You distract me.

Andre, I just think we better not

see each other anymore.

Okay.

Okay. If you don't want us

to see each other, we won't see each other.

Well, I...

Well, what?

Well, I...

I just thought you might

fight me a little on it.

Oh, no, no, no. No fighting.

We'll have it your way.

Okay.

Maybe it's just as well, huh?

Goodbye, Katy.

Oh, thank you, fellas.

Aren't you sweet? Cute too.

I'll see you later.

Now, America's own Miss Kathryn Higgins

would like to say a few words.

- I don't have any words, Windy.

- The speech...

Why do I always have to make a speech?

"Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen...

...you have no idea how thrilled we were

at our first glimpse...

...of your sparkling shores.

When I look around

and see all your smiling face..."

"Faces..."

"I..."

We'll try very hard to swim your channel.

Thank you.

After all, it's only water.

I asked for it.

- Gigi, it is so cold.

- Is it? Oh, Katy, why we do this?

Oh, I don't know. I had a crazy notion

I wanted to buy a bull.

What's your excuse?

Me? I see a little flower shop.

I want to make a down payment.

I'm good with flowers, you know.

I have green fingers.

It's "green thumb."

Katy.

In England, I always see you with Andre.

In France, nothing. Why?

He's a nice kid.

He is handsome and rich too.

You do not like this combination?

I like it all right, but, well,

I talked myself out of it.

- You should not have listened to yourself.

- I've got to swim the channel.

Oh, a man is much more important.

You swim the channel, and what?

You get the money, you win the medal...

...but when the cold night comes,

it doesn't keep you warm, you know.

Look, isn't it time

you started knocking yourself out?

Oh, yeah, I know.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...as you know, we were scheduled

to start tomorrow morning.

Obviously, the weather makes

this impossible...

...and the latest reports indicate that

there may be a delay of several days.

Well, if there are no further questions,

will the swimmers please form a line...

...and draw for starting positions?

Thank you.

All right, just through here.

Thank you very much.

That's fine. Would you mind

going through there? Thank you.

You find a place?

All right.

Seven. It is a lucky number, yes?

- Thirteen.

- It's a lucky number, no.

Oh, Mr. Higgins,

didn't Mr. Webbe speak to you?

No. What about?

Yeah, Pop, come on outside,

will you, Pop?

Family, I got something to tell you.

I didn't get a chance.

- What's the matter?

- I'll tell you outside, Ma. Come on.

I still want to know why. Why?

Pop, I don't make the rules.

All I know is that they disqualified

the whole family.

- All except Katy.

- They can't do that.

Haven't they watched me train?

Yeah, that's when they disqualified you.

- Well, I won't take it.

- Sit down, Pop.

Look, the Daily Mail decides who will swim

and who won't.

They just don't want to take a chance,

that's all.

I don't blame them.

What are you talking about?

We'd never make it, Pa.

You know that and so do they.

I'm in perfect shape. Perfect!

Pa, why are you making such a fuss?

Gee, I'm delighted.

They got no right.

Telling a man that he can't swim.

What's come over him anyway?

You'd think it was the end of the world.

- I'd better go talk to him.

- That's good, Katy.

Why don't you go on? I'll see you later.

Come on, kids.

- Katy, you know l...

- Oh, oh, I know, it's all right.

I'll talk to him.

Pa, oh, come on. Don't take it so hard.

I could do it.

At least, I have a right to try.

What difference does it make?

Look, it isn't as though

we're swimming for a living.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

Look, in a few days

it's gonna be all over...

...and in a couple of weeks,

we'll be on our way to the farm.

Yeah, the farm.

Hey, hey, there is something the matter.

Well, come on, Pa, what is it?

Katy, I should have told you before.

I made some changes on the farm.

What kind of changes, Pa?

Well, you were always saying

how we needed a new roof.

- New paint job.

- Yes?

And fences mended

and a new milking machine...

...and a pasteurizer

and a bottling machine and so, well...

- So?

- I did it. I did it all.

Well, how did you do it, Pa?

Well, I just told them

to go ahead and do it.

- On credit?

- Yes.

You bought all those things on...

Without paying?

Yeah, I even tried to buy Sir John

of Ralwyn, but they wouldn't sell.

Thank heaven for that, Pa.
