Honeymoon in Vegas Page #5

We have a report from Connie Wong.

Mount Kilauea,

dormant for the past eight years...

erupted last night

with spectacular force.

Rivers of fire streamed down from

the volcano beginning around midnight,

and word spread quickly

throughout the islands.

Natives and tourists alike

thronged to the base of Mount Kilauea

to watch nature's fury unleashed...

with awe-inspiring force.

Government officials stress no one was

in immediate danger from the eruption.

If I take the 7:
00 p. m.,

I get to Milwaukee when?

- 8:
35.

- 8:
35. And that's Central Time?

Yes, sir.

Now, would it be any cheaper

if I stop in Nashville?

- Same price, sir.

- I hold an AAdvantage card.

That won't make any difference

in the price.

Sir, there seems

to be a very long line.

- Tell me again about the Super Saver.

- There are several restrictions.

What's this guy doing?

Around the world in 80 days?

- Lighten up.

- You lighten up.

You can only fly on a Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday...

That's it. Look. Look.

I've got a major problem.

OK? My fiance was kidnapped

and taken to Hawaii.

I've got to get there now.

Well, I'm trying to make arrangements

to get to Milwaukee...

for my nephew Douglas's wedding

on the 21st.

You're not even flying today?

No. Consumer Reports said

if you make your travel arrangements

two weeks in advance at...

You see this line?

We're all flying today.

- Sir, if you don't get back in line...

- Then what?

I'll be arrested? Put in airport jail?

Just get your ticket and move on.

Get your goddamn ticket and move on!

Yeah!

The whole point of the game

was me? Getting me here?

All right.

Why keep it a secret any longer?

My heart's on my sleeve.

From the minute I saw you

in that lobby, I knew...

- So you sort of lied to me.

- How's that?

I understood that this was like

a settlement of the game,

when, in fact, it was

the whole reason for the game.

Yeah. So? Aren't you flattered?

You told me

the game was legitimate.

The game was legitimate.

But, I mean,

I play cards professionally,

and no amateur's gonna beat me.

That's what I had to do to get you.

If I was a medieval knight,

I'd have jostled for you.

Jousted. That's jousted.

Jousted. Whatever the hell they did.

Look, if that is

your preoccupation here...

If you want to leave tomorrow

instead of Wednesday,

believe me, I understand.

I'll call and make reservations.

- No.

- "No?" No calls?

No. No, I'm having a wonderful time.

It's just, you know, this is...

It's just a little overwhelming

to be pursued like this.

Well, no one ever...

...ever was as crazy

about you as I am.

I mean, it's up there with...

...Romeo and Juliet,

George and Gracie... All the big ones.

I'll take care of you forever.

I would throw myself

in front of a train for you.

Just stop me at any time.

Was that wrong?

It didn't feel wrong to me.

I don't know.

It's OK, honey.

Let me see here.

- What are you doing?

- She's got a great spitball.

That's a tremendous natural athlete.

- Yeah?

- Telephone, Mr. K.

- Do you want to hold her?

- Yes.

- Can I hold you?

- Yes.

Oh, hey. That's great

how she goes to you like that.

I can't believe it. She doesn't

go to people like that.

Gimme.

What's the story?

Bad news.

He's on the morning flight in.

I'm surprised

and I'm not surprised.

Look. All right. We gotta keep him

away from here for at least a day.

How 'bout a nice hit-and-run?

Look, no violence.

Unless it's absolutely

necessary, all right?

Just stall,

and get the chief. Get Mahi.

Just take care of it.

Look, I'm getting very close

with her, you know?

And if he shows up over here,

it's over, and...

Are you goddamn eating again?

No, I swear, I'm not eatin'.

He checked out Sunday?

At 8:
07.

Can I help you

with any future reservations?

- No, thank you.

- Thank you for calling Bally's.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hi, this is Jack Singer.

Sorry I can't take your call now,

but if you'd leave your name

and number, I'll get right back to you.

Sh*t!

Hey, Mahi,

will you pay some attention?

This guy, Jack Singer's

six-one, about 180.

He's coming out of that terminal.

Keep him away from Tommy's all right?

I don't care where you take him.

Just keep him away from Tommy's.

- Sure.

- All right, Mahi.

Hey, brother, you like ride?

Yeah, I need a ride,

but I don't know where yet.

- I take your bag.

- Thanks.

My name Mahi.

Mahi Mahi.

- Like the fish?

- Yeah. My father was a fisherman.

My father left home when I was five.

That's why I'm named Jack.

As in "Jack, tell your mother

I'm going to get the paper. "

- I gotta make a couple calls.

- Hey, Jack, Jack.

Where you like go?

Tell me. I take you anywhere.

Do you have any idea where a guy

named Tommy Korman lives?

Sure. Everybody know that.

You're kidding?

- No, it's a small island.

- This is great.

Thought I was going to have

to go through a whole number.

- Cab's over here.

- All right.

Welcome to Kauai.

You like this, Jack?

Beautiful, huh? So romantic.

The women, when they come here,

oh, they get crazy.

They like "freaky-freaky"

all night long.

That's really great news.

We almost there?

Yeah. Right up here

about a mile and a half.

This can't be it.

Tommy Korman lives here?

Korman?

I thought you said "Orman. "

You know, Chief Orman.

I didn't say Chief Orman.

I said Tommy Korman,

loud and clear. Come on!

I fly for two goddamn days,

I haven't slept, I can barely walk!

That goes double for me, chief.

There was a little mix-up here.

Listen, Mahi.

I don't have time

for this horseshit!

Hey, Jack, no make insult

for the chief, OK?

This man get plenty influence

in this place.

"Influence"?

He lives in a shack!

He's a man of great simplicity.

Come on. You spend

ten minutes with the guy, OK?

If you don't do that, the word

gonna get around Kauai so fast.

Next thing you know,

ain't nobody gonna help you, brother.

- Parakeet brandy.

- Are you serious?

- You are from mainland?

- That's right.

Do you find Chief Orman attractive?

Uh... You're

a striking-looking figure.

If by "attractive"...

Hey, chief.

He looking for a man

named Tommy Korman.

If you know where he is...

Have you seen the musical

Grand Hotel?

I... I don't go

to the theater that often.

Do you know if it

will come to Kauai?

I don't, really, but I'll

ask around when I get back.

Now, could you tell me...

Did you hear me before

about Tommy Korman?

Chief Orman favorite is,

of course, South Pacific.

- Well, everybody loves that one, chief.

- Oh, everybody.
