# In your heart

- Where's the bathroom?

- # You hear it call you

- Over there.

- Gotta get out of here!

# Come to me

Come to me

Orman getting senile.

Used to do only one number.

- Get me to a phone.

- Now?

Right now.

You have a problem with that?

No, no. Just, on this side,

so many beautiful things to see.

- Really?

- Yeah.

We got the five reflecting pools

of Maaoma.

The five pools are here?

- Yeah.

- Jesus!

- Come. We go.

- What are we waiting for?

- Oh, sh*t!

- What?

My keys must have fallen out

when I was in the bathroom.

- Could you do me a monster favor?

- No worry nothing. I get 'em.

You're the best.

- Everybody here is so friendly.

- Hey!

Don't say anything.

This wasn't Donna's?

What? God, no.

This is, uh, Betsy's.

It's so beautiful.

Really, I mean...

I've never gotten

anything remotely like this.

I just... I can't accept it.

I want to marry you.

I mean, like, tomorrow.

I can't just marry you.

Why not?

'Cause we just met?

Well, yes.

Look... Just listen to me.

You know, life is so...

what... very short.

We all think too much.

We don't act on our,

you know, impulses.

Korman's address is near Kapaa?

Is it "Kapa-a-a" or "Kapa-a-a-a"?

Is it two "A"s?

Is it A-A-A or A-A?

Two "A"s. OK, thank you.

No, I'm in Waimea.

Listen... I have to get back

to my real life.

This is just way too much

for me to handle.

- Betsy, I love you.

- Tommy...

Oh. I want you in my life.

I want to be married.

- I can't marry you like this.

- Like what?

Like this.

Like just jumping into it.

It just doesn't make any sense,

and there's Jack, too.

I can't just turn around

and marry someone else.

There's stuff to work out with him.

There's feelings there.

What?

The man put you up

in a card game.

No, not really.

You made an arrangement.

I wanted cash. He put you up.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Korman and Miss Nolan

are where exactly?

The Kauai Club.

It's about 20 miles down this road.

- Thanks very much.

- Are you a friend of Dad's or Betsy's?

Both, actually.

They're really great together.

It's so good to see Chris's dad in love.

Yeah, well, that's just

so wonderful to hear.

- OK.

- Goodbye.

I thought that it was your idea.

You told me that you arranged a game.

- You saw me in the lobby...

- Yes, honey. Listen.

I told you that to protect you.

Because I love you so very much.

Honey, and the truth was so...

...horrible!

It embarrassed me.

He put you up like a...

...like a ring, like a watch.

That's how cold it was.

I can't believe it.

Maybe he was frantic.

Listen, people get frightened.

They do crazy things.

He was so terrified

of marrying you.

Come on, that's unfair.

He didn't have $65,000.

What...

That's what he owed you.

He owed me $3,000.

What?

Honey, look.

The man's a head case. He's a head case.

But we all make mistakes.

Life goes on.

He did this for $3,000?

Honey, don't. Please, darling.

Don't torture yourself like this.

Let's just fly to Vegas and...

...get married

and go on with our lives.

I need to be alone for awhile.

Keep it close by.

Betsy!

Betsy!

Betsy!

Get off!

Get off me!

What the hell are you doing here?

We had a deal.

We never said Hawaii.

Get off me.

We never didn't say Hawaii.

Look, you want to stay

on the island, fine.

But you stay the hell away

from her or give me 65 thousand.

I've got it.

I brought it with me.

No. That's bullshit.

You never wanted the money.

You wanted her!

Get off me! Somebody!

Help! Get off me!

- Betsy!

- He's crazy!

Betsy!

- Get him out of here!

- Betsy!

Betsy!

Come on. Don't.

You're making a big mistake.

Listen to me.

My girl's out there. My wife!

You OK?

- That was the weirdest thing.

- What?

It was like Wuthering Heights.

I thought I heard my name

being called in the wind.

It sounded like Jack.

Can you believe that?

Yeah. I used to think

that I heard Donna calling...

Almost shouting.

It's very spooky.

It's the shape of the rocks

or something. It echoes.

- It's so strange.

- Yeah.

So what do you think?

I'm gonna want children very soon.

You just tell me when, sweetheart.

Having children

with you would be heaven.

Then let's do it. I want to.

Are you sure this is not

a reaction to what I told you?

No, no, I want

to get on with my life, Tommy.

I want to get married.

To me?

Yes.

I'm shakin' like a leaf.

Look, I have to make

a phone call now!

You're kidding me!

You're in a Hawaiian clink?

- Vito, you believe that?

- Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Vito's in the chair.

He can't believe it.

Listen. The bail is five grand.

OK, let me work on it.

But, Jack, listen to me.

Make sure you ask approval

to leave the state.

Otherwise you'll be stuck there

even if you make bail.

OK, but, Sally,

as fast as you can, please.

Just seeing her there,

staring at the ocean...

I know that look, man.

She's doing some serious thinking.

Well? Ready?

This is really such a great spot.

We'll be back real soon.

- Thanks.

- I want to say one thing, ma'am.

Anybody who would put you up

for $3,000...

Hey, Niko,

what's the matter with you?

- Sorry.

- That's all right. Really.

- Sorry.

- Jesus.

Perfect.

Don't tell me

you still want the cab fare.

Nah. I dropped the charges.

I feel sorry for you, man.

I don't want your pity.

Just take me to Korman's house. Korman.

No do you any good.

Him, your girlfriend,

both went back Vegas.

Gonna get married.

Married?

Married.

Hey, Jack.

Jack, Jack.

- Good luck, brother. Hey.

- Thanks.

Always remember:

It means, "Always have the good words

come out of your mouth. "

That just doesn't help me at all,

but I appreciate the thought.

Aloha, brother!

Hello.

I gotta get on

the next flight out of here.

The next flight out of here

goes nonstop to...

Auckland, New Zealand.

New Zealand?

No, I gotta get to the States.

We are a state.

The mainland, OK?

I gotta get to Vegas.

Well, the Los Angeles flight

left Honolulu 20 minutes ago.

Sh*t!

- When's the next flight out of here?

- Tonight at 8:
30.

Ma'am, I'll be sucking

on an exhaust pipe by then.

Just get me anywhere where I can get

a connecting flight to Las Vegas.

You know, you shouldn't live...

... where Donna lived.

I don't think that's fair.

So, I was thinkin'...

...we buy a place

in Westchester or Connecticut.

I can't think about that yet.

That's OK. I'll think about it.

You sit back and you relax.

OK, sweetheart?

Congratulations to the two of you.

Penthouse A is ready.

That's great, Bud. I appreciate it.

Mr. Korman's getting married.

Don't take too long with the makeup.

I like you au naturel.

Don't worry.

You don't need any, anyway.

He left Kauai.

But he couldn't get an LA flight.

So where is he?

- San Jose.

- San Jose...

San Jose. Well...

Who do we know

at the airport in San Jose?

- Frankie Cargo.

- Give him a phone call.

Go on.

- This flight is history?

- Yes.

Apparently there's

bad weather in El Paso.

- Hail the size of golf balls.
