Did... Did she say that?

She said she wants you

in her room...

A.S.P.C. A...

A.S.A.P.

Her room? Now?

Her exact words were...

Well, I don't remember them

off-hand, but, uh...

- Come on, man.

- Uh, "If not sooner. "

- Get on that dance floor.

- Yes, sir.

- Hi there.

- Yes?

Gotta deliver Godwyn's shirts

to his room.

- Oh, you need the key.

- I'm not gonna slip them under the door.

They'll get wrinkled.

Hello, hello, hello.

Oh, hello. You sure made

a fast recovery, didn't you?

Nothing like being young.

Why do you look at me as though

I were nothing but trouble?

- I like trouble.

- I like you too.

- How about a game of poker?

- Poker, okay.

But I gotta warn you, Carswell. This time,

I'm not tearing up any of your checks.

Domo.

I think you're a phony, chum,

and I'm going to prove it.

- Oh, boy.

- Nice to see you're relaxing tonight, Carswell.

- I beg your pardon?

- Take a hike. Hi.

To what do I owe

this pleasure?

- Two vodka stingers, and I lost my key.

- Oh.

- How about you?

- I work here.

You do?

Uh, do you do...

C.P.R.?

How does it go?

It's open.

Mrs. Carruthers?

Ellen.

Bit of bubbly?

Ace, queen bets.

I will check.

Check, check.

I check.

Two, please.

- I bet 20 grand.

- I'll take one.

- Hmm.

- Too rich for my blood.

I fold.

- Hmm.

- How much you bet?

- Twenty thousand dollars.

- Twenty thousand dollars.

Right.

Oopsy doopsy woopsy.

Call.

I'm out.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- You all right?

- Yes, of course I'm all right.

- Does anyone have a napkin or something?

- Card in sleeve. He's a cheat.

You were right, Mr. Gordon.

- Pretty sloppy, Carswell.

- That's disgusting.

- But to prove that he was a fraud.

I'm gonna overlook this whole thing

because you are an a**hole.

Monsieur Gordon is right.

You are an a**hole.

Gentlemen, I've never done anything

like this before in my life.

I'm afraid you'll have to leave

the casino, sir.

- Gentlemen, please believe me.

- It doesn't matter what we

believe, does it, Carswell?

Tra la.

All right. This hand is dead.

Everybody will get their money back.

- What say we go someplace

quiet for a night cap?

- Someplace quiet?

- Yeah.

- Right. Like your room, right?

- Wonderful suggestion.

- No.

No, that wasn't

my suggestion.

- Oh.

- Madam.

-Thank you. Oh,this is a nice suite,Charlie.

- Isn't that nice?

Charlie, about your cologne.

Oh, it's not cologne.

It's aftershave lotion.

You ever thought of,

uh, growing a beard?

- Oh, yeah. Sometimes.

- Oh. Uh-huh.

Uh...

Charlie?

Oh, Charlie.!

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

It should be another day

of calm seas and smooth sailing.

For your convenience, if you're in a hurry

to meet your shore tour for the eclipse...

Oh!

That's above and beyond

the call of duty.

Yeah. He should

make captain for that.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

Oh!

Armor All?

I really had a good time

last night, Charlie.

- I really enjoyed myself.

- L-I... I just wanted...

Shh, shh.

You don't have to.

Oh. What happened

to the good-lookin' one?

This is

a good-lookin' one, Ma.

See you later.

Huh.

Yah! I'll race you

around the ship, pal.

Bravo! Bravissimo.!

Bravo!

After a lifetime of wandering

through the deserts of humanity...

- I find in you my oasis...

- That's terrible.

The doctors say I have

only a few more months.

Let's be married before

one more grain of sand...

flows through

the hourglass of mortality.

You barely know

this woman.

Liz, I would be honored

if you took my last name...

and put it

on your bank account.

That's the one.

All passengers

going ashore to view the eclipse...

please remember to wear

your protective eyewear.

Well, the one-ounce bottle

is beautiful.

- I'll take it.

- Okay.

I finally figured it out,

seeing you here in the gift shop.

Back at St. Vincent's? Seems like I was

always running into you in the gift shop.

St. Vincent?

Oh, my God.

It's Nurse Collins.

- Oh. I can't believe

that I didn't recognize you.

It's probably not one of your

better memories.

Oh, no, no. Come on.

Suzie was nuts about you.

- The feeling was mutual.

- Yeah.

You, on the other hand,

were a complete pain in the butt.

Yeah.

- I've got exactly 20 minutes.

How about a cup of coffee?

- Love it.

Passengers going ashore,

please report to tender deck, midship.

Even towards the end,

th-there were moments...

when-when...

when we both felt...

I don't know how...

That we weren't going

to let this thing beat us.

-Yeah.You guys were one of those couples.

- Yeah.

I remember on the last night... By

that time, there's so much medication...

who knows whether they understand

what's goin' on, but...

I remember you leaning

right down next to her ear...

telling her you'd be in love with her

always and forever.

Shejust had this...

I don't know.

It was like a light

in her eyes.

You knew she knew.

I shouldn't be saying this.

Oh, no, no.

It's nice, really.

It's fine. It's...

- Oh. Weren't you going ashore?

- Huh?

The eclipse.

I don't wanna miss it.

Oh, yeah.

Well, uh, listen, uh...

It-It was great...

- Oh.

- You know, seeing you.

Really. Very, very nice.

- Me too.

- Thank you.

The last tender

for shore departs in five minutes.

Please remember that all passengers

must return to ship by 4:30.

Liz, life drifts away...

- Like grains of sand

through an hourglass.

Charlie,I'm sorry.L-I...I just don't get

what you're trying to say to me.

- Liz.

- Yeah?

Even though we've only

known each other a short time...

That's true.

It's been short.

Liz, after a lifetime...

of going through a desert

of humanity, you...

Charlie! Charlie, Charlie!

Charlie, look!

Look! Look, Charlie!

It's happening,

and we're here to see it.

Even though...

Liz, will you listen to me for a minute?

- Even though we're like two ships

passing through the night...

- Why don't we get married, Charlie?

- Good idea.

Liz, will you marry me?

- Is that a yes?

- Yeah. That's a yes.

- Oh.

- I think we're missing it, sweetheart.

Always and forever, kiddo.

- Oh, no.

- Maybe he's in thejohn.

Mom?

- Hi. How'd it go?

- Great. We got it all on video.

Fine. I won't speak

for the rest of our marriage.

- Mom, how are you?

- I'm going home.

- All right, then we're gonna go with you.

- No. No. It's your anniversary.

- Celebrate it while you can.

- No,Mom,really.We can all go.That's fine.

I want to take care

of myself.

Do you understand?

I need to take care

of myself.

Explosions]

How'd it go

with Daddy Warbucks?

We're gettin' married.

Hot damn!

I knew we'd snag

one of'em.

Now here's

what we're gonna do.

We can plan a... What the hell's

the matter with you?

- Nothin'.

- Hallelujah.

I'm tellin' you, Liz,

we are in clover.

- What do you figure he's worth?

- I don't know. I don't care.

Well, I don't know...

but I do care.

We have spent our last two dimes

on this highfalutin' stateroom.

- Ma, I like him.

- Good for you.

He's... He's so sweet.
