Now, Voyager Page #4

- We're being girls.

We're getting into the harbor.

One of the few sights

that doesn't disappoint you.

- What was Deb saying?

- She was rattling on.

I want to know. About me?

She was telling me

about your life at home.

You mustn't miss this. There's only

one first sailing into Rio harbor.

This is where I get off.

Your boat goes on in three days.

Will I see you?

Not unless you pay more attention

to your guide.

Thank you.

There's Sugar Loaf.

Yes, it is. Sugar Loaf.

The stretch of sand

is Copacabana beach.

Copacabana.

There's music in the word.

There's something for your architect's

heart. The Christus statue.

Serves me right for getting a car

because I liked the driver's face.

- It doesn't matter.

- We promised to meet Deb for dinner.

How much farther is it?

Don't look, just listen.

- How far is it?

- Oh, banana trees.

No. Distance, miles, kilometers.

- Parakeets, parrots, rubber.

The rubber.

The card said

"English-speaking driver."

He needs

Portuguese-speaking passengers.

Sit back. He knows where he's going.

- Where are we going?

- Must be the shortcut.

Past the old church.

- Are you sure this is the right way?

- I bet he doesn't know.

- I'll make him turn around.

- He'll say, "Banana tree."

- Turn around.

- Okay, seor.

I told you.

Stop. Turn around. Go back.

- No good?

- Turn around.

Go back.

I think so. Try it anyway.

Stop!

- Take it easy. Go forward.

- Yes, forward.

Mister, please not be dead!

Not be killed!

Please, not be dead!

All right?

- I guess so.

- Sure?

It's all right. Don't cry.

Don't cry, Giuseppe.

I'll try.

Please, mister.

All right. What does he say?

I think he is going to get a horse

and a rope.

No, no. Not cavalo e corda.

Not now.

Get another automobile and chauffeur.

Seorita must go Rio immediately.

- Catch big boat.

- Boat?

Giuseppe stay here.

Seor and seorita go Rio.

Get cavalo e corda later.

Haven't you got paper?

Draw it for him.

What's the word for "tonight"?

Draw the face of a clock.

Tonight.

Big boat go. Depart.

Goodbye, seorita e seor.

We'll either have to bundle

or freeze tonight.

They say bundling is a New England

custom both reverenced and honored.

Thank you. Goodbye.

- The tourist company is sending a car.

- Good.

- The boat waited for two hours.

- Did it?

- Did you wire Deb and Mac?

- Yes.

You can rejoin them in Buenos Aires

tomorrow by plane.

Another plane is going in five days.

You'll get there the same day

as your ship.

You know anybody in Buenos Aires?

No.

Seems a shame to spend

five days there alone.

- You'll be busy.

- My business can wait.

- We did start off on a tour.

- We started off for somewhere.

If I promise to sit

at a different table and say:

"Good morning, Miss Vale.

I hope you slept well."

So people will hear and never guess

I'm head over heels in love with you.

Don't say no, Camille.

Say, "I'll see."

I'll see.

May I have this dance?

- I'm afraid I don't know how.

- Try it.

Just this once.

- How did you get here?

- Along the balcony.

My room is down there.

The whole hotel has gone to bed.

- So must I. It's late.

- Not by your Boston clocks.

It's a little before dinner there.

Please, don't yet.

- I'm not going to struggle with you.

- That's right.

No telling what primitive instincts

you might arouse.

Isn't it beautiful?

Do you believe in immortality?

I don't know.

Do you?

I want to believe happiness...

...can be carried on somewhere.

- Are you so happy, then?

- Close to it.

Getting warmer and warmer,

as we used to say as kids.

Look out or you'll get burned.

Are you afraid you'll get burned

if too happy?

I'm immune to happiness

and therefore to burns.

- You weren't immune on the mountain.

- You call that happiness?

Only a small part.

There are other kinds.

Such as?

Having fun together.

Getting a kick out of

simple little things.

Out of beauty like this.

Sharing confidences you wouldn't share

with anybody else.

Won't you say you are happy too?

Since that night when

you told me about your illness, I...

I can't get you out of my mind.

Or out of my heart either.

If I were free...

...there would be only one thing

I'd do.

Prove you're not

immune to happiness.

Would you want me to prove it?

Tell me you would.

Then I'll go.

My darling, you are crying.

I'm such a fool.

Such an old fool.

These are only tears of gratitude.

An old maid's gratitude

for the crumbs offered.

- Don't talk like that.

- No one called me darling before.

Let me go.

I was lucky.

I got them from a vendor.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

I hate goodbyes.

They don't matter.

- It's what's gone before.

- No, it's what can't go after.

We may see each other sometime.

No, we promised.

We are both to go home.

Will it help you to know

I'll miss you every moment?

So will I, Jerry. So will I.

What am I here for?

Be nice to Charlotte.

It won't hurt you.

- Be nice to Aunt Charlotte.

- Yes.

It's Charlotte!

- Here I am.

- Charlotte!

I didn't see you, Charlotte.

This is Mr. Hunneker.

Two more Vales for you.

How do you do?

Tell me all the news.

Did you have a good trip?

I got your cable.

Is Mother worse?

- Hamilton Hunneker, polo player?

- Is that a question or accusation?

I have to go. Don't forget

Glen Cove and the boat races.

Be good. Say your prayers, Camille.

- I'll be at the ceremony.

- What ceremony?

There go the Ricketts. Wave goodbye.

- Mother, pinch me.

- I'm too busy pinching myself.

Ham, dear, you better go now.

- I'll see you again soon?

- I hope so.

- Anything else I can do?

- No, thank you.

We better get to customs.

- We thought we'd lost you.

- We wanted to say goodbye.

Don't say goodbye. Just au revoir.

It's a sad time.

I want to tell you one thing.

There was no lady as popular as you.

- Thank you.

- Au revoir!

- Don't forget to write soon.

- I promise, Deb.

- Make a point of it.

- Goodbye.

What is this?

Hellos, goodbyes, look-me-ups...

- I wonder where my luggage is.

- There are the Vs.

- Knock me over with a feather.

- Not you, roly-poly.

Where did you get your new figure?

- I met a very clever doctor in Rio.

- Keep quiet.

Johnny, my boy, how are you?

- What's the program?

- Dr. Jaquith.

I cabled him I would be half an hour.

Will you tell him

about your boyfriend?

Which one?

Cigarette?

- Thank you.

- They're cork-tip.

Make sure you get the right end.

Thanks for the instructions.

If I were you, I'd give up.

After Dr. Jaquith?

Back to Boston. I'm flying at 3.

- Back home.

- I'll come with you.

Hello, Jerry.

Welcome.

June is staying in New York.

No, I wouldn't miss

this show for the world.

I'll stand on the corner

and sell tickets.

- Wish me luck.

- Want me to come in?

No, thank you.

Oliver, take Mrs. Vale home.

Bring the bags up later.

See you tonight.

- Good luck.

- Goodbye.

Hello, William.

- Yes, William, it's me.

- Welcome home, Miss Charlotte.

Your mother's waiting upstairs.
