[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

MAN:

Bravo, bravo.

- I'm afraid I'm gonna have to be going.

- I'll see you to your cabin.

- Now, you go right to bed, young lady.

MRS. HARRISON:
Yes, get plenty of sleep.

MRS. WARREN:
Good night, my dear.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Night.

Excuse me.

It's so peaceful here,

it makes you forget your troubles.

Guess it does.

Nancy, it may be hard

to understand now...

...but believe me, time heals everything.

You know, sometimes

a person gets in trouble...

...and things look pretty hopeless.

You mustn't worry about it.

I'm sure everything will be all right.

That's it. Everything will be all right.

MASHER:

Well, well, well.

It sure is a small world, isn't it?

I see you changed your mind

about dinner.

Why don't you go scrub

a deck someplace?

Oh, I forgot. She's your wife, isn't she?

Well, I found out different.

- And that isn't all I found out.

- Come on.

Look here. Let me talk to the lady now.

Don't get me mad, man. Don't get me mad.

[THUDDING]

Thank you and good night.

Oh, Paul. Are you hurt?

It's funny how much better

the stars look from down here.

Poor man.

And you did it all because of me.

I needed a rest. It was nothing.

- Are you sure you're all right?

- Fine.

He double-crossed me,

hit me when I was looking.

You were so wonderful. I'm terribly sorry.

- That's all right. Let's forget it.

- No, no, no, you must rest.

Thank you.

Nancy, before we were interrupted,

I was about to say something.

I do hope you won't misunderstand me.

This isn't very easy for me.

Nancy, sometimes you meet

the wrong person.

You have an experience

that leaves you bitter.

Yes.

Well, if you'll allow it to,

it can ruin your whole life.

I suppose it can.

You get to the point where you think

you'll never love again...

...and no one will ever love you.

But then you meet someone...

...and you realize how wrong you are.

How wrong you are,

and life is still ahead of you.

I think I know what you're trying to say.

Nancy, the companionship

of someone who loves you...

...is the most important thing

in the world.

And any decent man loves children.

- You mustn't say any more.

- But you should know that...

Oh, you're very sweet,

but I'm in no position to listen.

I know. That's why I...

I'm terribly touched

and I'll always remember this moment.

No. No, don't move.

I want to remember you just as you are.

What happened?

I'm not sure, but I think she just imagined

a proposal out of me.

She did?

Not only that, she turned me down.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Come in.

- Well, we'll be landing shortly.

- You're all set, I see.

- Almost.

- And good luck to you, my dear.

- Thank you.

Oh, and you'll find that the doctors in Rio

are excellent.

- So nice to... Excuse me.

- Hello, doctor.

- I just had to say goodbye to you.

- Thank you so much.

- Is your mother meeting you?

- No, I'm surprising her.

- Oh, dear. It's going to be quite a surprise.

- Uh-huh.

- Here's a little gift for you.

- Well, my goodness. Thank you.

Not at all. You'll be able to use it.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Sorry.

- Nancy, dear.

- Oh, Marina.

- I come to say goodbye.

We leave the States,

boom, zoom, we get here so quick.

Oh, you've been so sweet.

Thank you very much.

- Is there anything I can do?

- Nothing. Everything is just fine.

You're a very sweet little girl.

And take care of yourself, will you?

- Goodbye, Nancy.

- Goodbye, Marina.

- I see you in Rio.

- All right.

- Hello, Nancy.

- Oh, hello, Paul.

I thought you might need some help.

That's very nice of you, but I have

more help than I know what to do with.

I never met such friendly people.

You've been so sweet.

I do hope what happened the other night

didn't upset you too much.

No. Well, I just wanted

to say goodbye and...

- Goodbye, Paul.

- Goodbye.

If you should change your mind and do

wanna see me, you can find me here.

- Well, thank you. I'll remember.

- Goodbye.

[HORN BLOWS]

Wait, please. I'm Miss Nancy Barklay.

Are my mother and grandfather at home?

- Oh, yes, miss. I will announce you.

- Oh! I'd rather...

I'd rather surprise them.

There's some luggage in the car.

- Grandfather.

- Hello, Nan.

Aren't you glad...?

- Father, I was just going to...

- Mother.

Hello, dear.

Would you like fish for lunch

or chops?

Let's have chops.

No, no, no, it's too hot for chops.

Let's have something nice and cool

like chili peppers.

I don't know. How about

ice cream and cucumbers?

No, no, no.

I think some lemonade,

baked beans and sauerkraut, eh?

[GREG CHUCKLING]

Oh, you two.

- Oh, Mother.

- Hi, baby. How are you?

- Hi, Grandfather.

- Bless you, baby. It's good to see you.

You knew I was coming.

It was supposed to be a surprise.

How did you find out?

When I tried to call you,

they told me you were on your way here.

That's why we didn't meet the boat.

Mother didn't wanna spoil your surprise.

- Mother. Oh, goodness.

- Tell us about your trip.

- Yes, come on. Tell us.

- There were so many things.

It was simply heavenly.

But the most exciting thing of all...

...I met the most wonderful man

and he proposed to me.

- Proposed to you?

- Oh, yes, Mother. He was a darling.

- But of course I had to say no.

FRANCES:
Well, I should hope so.

And I had dinner at the captain's table.

And, oh, wait.

I have the lead in the most terrific new play.

I'm just too happy.

You sound like you've been

a very busy little girl.

I have. I can't wait

till I tell you about my new play.

- It starts out where...

- Wait a minute. Simmer down.

Let's get our coat off first, huh?

You can tell me about everything at lunch.

Alfredo, will you show Miss Nancy

to her room? Here you are.

Wait right there.

I'll be down in a jiffy.

- I have to tell you all about it.

- All right, fine.

- Isn't she wonderful?

- Naturally.

Consider her predecessor.

And in all the years I've had her,

she's never caused me a bit of trouble.

- Help me with the second act, will you?

- Certainly.

- Page 63.

- All right.

FRANCES:

Let's go over that scene again.

GREG:

The sun is shining...

The sun is shining as though

the whole world hadn't come to an end.

I'm glad I'm going to have the baby.

No matter what happens...

GREG:

There's a part of him...

FRANCES:
There's a part of him

that will always be mine...

...and I need never be ashamed

because he's a part of our love.

That's no good.

And I need never be ashamed

because he's a part of our love.

Well, hello, darling.

All fresh and ready for Rio?

Yes, Mother.

- What were you rehearsing?

- The new play I'm going to do for Arthur.

Ricardo Domingos wrote it.

- It's simply wonderful, isn't it, Father?

- I tell you.

Exactly what I've always been looking for.

You want some lemonade, darling?
