They convince Susan she has an opportunity to fulfill all her dreams, and the trio heads for Palm Beach. Susan meets John Wheeler who says he is shopping for a sailboat.

But John shows up as a guest of Fenwick and he tells "Linda", not knowing she was part of the scam, that he has a detective after the fake captain that sold him the boat.

Here, I pray.

Do not touch it.

Dry your hands, wet you

can electrocute yourself.

Yes, let's wear it.

Se or McKay.

Yes, I just saw your ship.

I swam to take a look.

It's not what I'm looking for.

I need a big yacht.

Do you have something else?

Something with pure lines...

?What?

A ketch?

? "The Aurora"?

A big big stick? I see.

I like the work.

Good stuff.

Yes, beautiful and well preserved...

soft and beautiful

?What?

Oh, I saw it, yes.

The projection is good

for speed and stability.

It has slender stern, is not it?

Its dimensions?

54.9 in length

14 tons, it does not look like...

And his legs?

Anchors, anchors...

And his mainmast?

61 long.

Line of the motor, 38.

OK, very good. I will do it.

Do you want paper and pencil?

No, I'll remember.

? Yes?

Thanks for saving my life.

You're welcome. Saving lives

is normal for us, sailors.

We can not call ourselves

"sailors", mother.

We want to buy a boat.

? Yes?? That look for?

Gulet, ketch, sloop?

That's why we did not get it.

We confuse jibs and approaches.

If I can help you with something,

my name is John Wheeler.

Wheeler?? We do not know eachother?

The party last night, yes.

I have arrived this morning.

We are the Worghington,

mother and daughter. Haunted.

Wheeler

Is it a Wheeler from Bedford?

They were always on boats.

No. Finance, New York.

?Banks?

Funds and investments.

Oh it's pretty.

He will be very busy, will not he?

Not anymore.

?Retired?

Well, for a time.

If we stayed sitting,

looking for where we met...

we need to eat You accompany us?

Very nice but I'm going to

swim until that mooring...

to see the dimensions of the

boat that they sell to me.

Will you swim with a meter in your mouth?

Simple mathematics. Knowing

the height of the mast...

I'm going to bore you.

Not boring. It is wonderful.

How do you do it in your mind?

Yes, how do you do it?

Mathematics has been my

trade for so long...

which is already elementary.

It's a weird mix, Mr. Wheeler.

Something dry like mathematics and

something romantic like ships.

In truth they are inseparable.

Without maths you

could not navigate...

Do not even take out

"the boat dock".

Well, I want to get

to that mooring.

Why do not you go, dear?

There may be something that we like.

Yes, it would be a pleasure.

I want to observe this

matter of mathematics.

Beautiful...

Be careful, dear.

Do not try too hard.

Start soft

I will take care of it.

Warren Worthington, please.

Warren? I think we have exactly

what you were looking for.

He wants a yacht with

many beautiful candles.

A kind of romantic fool.

And another thing, do not try to

deceive him with the numbers.

He knows how to count.

I'm glad you came.

It gives a sense of security

to go with a sailor.

Captain Beasley can

have something we like.

There you are.

The "Sheherezade".

It seems to come out of the

One Thousand and One Nights.

Is not it wonderful, mother?

Do not you think so, Mr. Wheeler?

"Wonderful" is little to say.

?You see? And he knows about boats.

It does not suit us, it's a sailboat.

Let's look at it.

Look at it

I confuse the sexes

of ships and trains.

- Captain Beasley?

- I am and I will be.

We want to look at it, if possible.

Worthington, from New York.

And Mr. Wheeler.

Hi. They are welcome.

I should be better but I

have so much to do...

and with only one leg.

It makes you want to go to the sea...

to hunt whales or

to catch pirates.

For the time it takes, I

could buy the Queen Mary.

Well, it's done.

Here is the receipt,

Captain Wheeler.

Do not worry, I'll

take it to customs.

Thank you.

My check is 15,000 dollars.

That I put on the receipt.

I owe him 500 dollars.

I'm going to look for them and Mr.

Blanchard will confirm it.

I'm not at all late.

My boat is fast.

There is beer in the snowfall.

Go ahead.

Come on, let's take another turn.

No thanks.

It is a great event.

My feet do not know it.

He seems crazy with joy.

I am.

How do you feel about

getting what you wanted?

I do not know if I can describe it.

I do not know, it's like a Sunday.

That's. And I'll feel like that

7 days a week.

Every day will be Sunday.

It sounds pretty good.

I believe that time will change.

On Friday there will be

a storm to prove it.

,Storm! Will not it come out...?

Yes, there is nothing better.

You'll see when it happens.

The wind blowing hard,

the sky bursting...

the waves crushing you,

fighting not to fall.

You grab the tim n.

You can not breathe or

see, the salt blinds you.

In the end, you go

home shattered.

Yes, it's wonderful.

What a fuss is this?

What is happening here?

, Pick up those bottles!

Wait for your boyfriend?

What are you doing here?

The ship is mine.

They were mistaken for a ship.

- A pedante, huh?

- I'm calling the police?

Look, it's not funny.

Who are these bigmouths?

Call the police, Harvey.

This is very silly.

Mr. Wheeler bought the ship.

- What bought it?

- To Captain Beasley.

I am Captain Beasley.

They are false.

I will teach you the true ones.

I bring the papers.

The ship is mine. They have ripped him off.

? Timado?

? Timado?

False.

,That awful!

We started to buy that boat.

Why do not you stop it?

Chill chill.

It must be easy. It's lame.

Write down the description.

Limp on the right.

No, from the left.

No, the right.

Remember when he was walking away.

Yes, when it approached

it was the left.

- So he limps.

- Yes.

And it's very high, 1m. 80.

It is not higher than you.

He has black eyebrows.

Pulling brown n.

Something bald and...

Voucher.

Sam, I sent this description.

He is a tall man, short,

bald and with hair.

Brown, black eyebrows...

and limps both legs.

Thank you, you pray,

thank you very much.

It will do the maximum, right?

Yes, that's what I'm for.

Thank you very much.

Do you mind if we leave?

They are already more than 5.

Uncle Warren arrived at 4.

He will be restless.

I stay if I can help.

No thanks.

I already wasted your afternoon.

I'm sorry it happened like that.

Not for the money, but

because it was so beautiful.

There are other boats in the world.

Lets go beautiful.

Can I call her tonight?

I would like it a lot.

Maybe we are not. Warren will want to

Go to Florida, you already know him.

If we are not at the hotel,

we will be on your island.

When you have a boat, come.

We will see each other again.

We go to New York a lot.

I guess we will not see

each other for a while.

No, I suppose not.

I suppose not.

I'm sorry...

Nothing happens.

I will not think that I'm used to...

I will not think anything like that.

Thank you.

Well, goodbye, Mr. Wheeler.

Adi s, Miss Worthington.

Do not worry, Mr. Wheeler.

We will find you.

Does not matter.

I'll find you.

But today, tomorrow.

Or in a week or in a year.

When I get it, I'll

flay it into pieces.

I will find him, I will find him.

One is oritated.

I played as a little princess.

See how it falls.
