-It's gonna be a piece of cake, barnett.
-But Australians have been racing these boats for years.
We've been doin' it a week.
-So what's your point? -My point's simple.
We're not that good.
-Barnett, we will be by the day of the race.
Come on, let's do it! Woo! -Come on, gator, come on! You've got to go faster! Come on, come on! Woohoo! -Next group.
It's once around the course and back.
The winner of each heat will automatically qualify for the finals.
Good luck, gentlemen.
On your Mark, get set.
-Oh, look.
There's barnett and Matt.
-You know, I'd really like to know why they call those things rubber duckies.
I mean, they may sound really innocent, but look how dangerous they are.
I know.
-I've tried to talk Matt out of entering the competition, but of course, when he found out Logan was the rubber ducky champion of Australia, he had to try and beat him at his own game.
-Who's that with Logan, any way? -Oh, that's his old partner from tasmania.
Gator.
- Gator? - Gator.
-So, let's have your scouting report, mate.
Any local talent we need to worry about? -Well, I'd keep my eye on those two.
-No worries there, mate.
C'mon, I wanna hear all about your adventures in the states.
-Well, unfortunately, they may soon be coming to an end.
-No.
-My visa expires in two weeks.
-Well, didn't you get your green card? -Shh! No.
-Well, what happened to that rich widow you wrote to me about? -I thought you'd be married by now.
Wasn't that your plan? Then you could stay here as long as you wanted.
-Well, I prefer to stay without havin' to get married.
Or at least not right away, any way.
That's why I was counting on you to help me out.
-Oh, how's that? -Well, didn't you know of a guy that bought his green card that last time you were here in the states? -Yeah, I did, yeah.
You think he's still around? Yoo hoo! -That the future Mrs.
Fowler? -Mhmm.
-I'll check things out for ya, mate.
-Thanks, gator.
-She looks like a-- -what? -Like a feisty one, mate.
Careful when you break her heart, eh.
-Later.
-There goes Logan, just like he's on a leash.
-I thought you accepted the fact that Kathleen and Logan are together.
-Oh, I have.
It's just that every time I see them together, it makes me sick to my stomach.
-You're crazy, you know that? I mean, you are definitely worse with men than I am.
-There they are.
See? -Oh, yes, I see them.
What kind of a boat is that? -It's called a hovercraft.
Watch really close.
They're so cool.
-My goodness gracious.
What will they think of next? Pretty awesome, huh? -I remember when your father first started lifeguarding.
All he had was a rickety old dory for a boat.
Every time he went out, my heart was in my mouth.
My goodness, now everything is so high tech.
-Hey, mom! -Hi, darling! -Nervous? -About meeting your mother? Why should I be? Haven't you told her what a wonderful person I am? -Hi, mom.
-Hi, darling.
-You look great.
-Oh, thank you, darling.
So do you.
-What do ya think of this guy? -Oh, he's grown so much I barely recognized him.
What have you been feeding him? - Raw hormones.
Mom, I'd like you to meet Tracy dodsworth.
She's filling in here at Baywatch and training me on the scat.
-It's nice to meet you, Mrs.
Buchannon.
-Nice to meet you, too, dear.
-What do ya say we all go to Kay's and get something to eat, huh? We'll just change and meet you there.
-Well, I, uh, I don't think so.
I'm exhausted from flying and I just thought I'd go back to the house and take a little nap.
-Sure.
Whatever you want.
-I'm sure I'll be seeing you.
Come on, darling.
Let's go.
Come on, here we go.
Back to the house.
I have so many things to talk -Working up a good sweat? -Hello, Logan.
Were you gonna work out? 'Cause if so, I'll leave.
-Wait, sounds like you're still angry with me.
-Oh, well, that's very perceptive.
-Just out of curiosity, how long do you intend to stay that way? Are you ever gonna forgive me? -Forgive you? You dumped me for a rich older woman.
That's about as low as you can get.
-If it's any consolation, I don't love Kathleen.
-Oh, so you're with her just for her money.
Oh, that makes me feel a lot better.
-No, I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than that.
Look, I am terribly sorry if I hurt your feelings or caused you any pain.
Maybe someday I'll make up for it.
-Hey.
You mean it? -Wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
-Well, then maybe there's some hope for you after all.
-Was it my imagination or did I detect a trace of hostility when you met Tracy? - Must've been just your imagination.
I'm sure she's a lovely girl, but that doesn't mean you have to go rushing off into another fiasco.
Who's rushing anywhere? -Hobie said that you asked him what he thought about your marrying her.
-Mom, do me a favor, huh.
Don't make me defend my life.
I'm not asking for your approval.
-You're just as impetuous as your father was.
Once he made up his mind to something, there was no stopping him.
You know, you remind me so much of your dad, so many ways.
Hard to believe it's almost two years.
-I know.
-I still talk to him when I'm doing the house work, just as if he was still there.
On his birthday, I cook corned beef and cabbage, just like I used to.
-Can I ask you a question? -Sure.
-Have you seen anybody since dad died? - You mean, been on a date? - Yeah.
-Of course not.
-Oh, I dunno.
Maybe it's time you spread your wings, you know.
Learn to fly again, make some new friends.
-Well, I am lonesome at times, Mitch, but no one could ever replace your father.
-Oh, it's good to have you back home.
-It's nice to be with you, darling.
- I know we had our time our time up in the clouds but you are still mine when I close my eyes I can feel your love holding my soul it's out of my control so I hold hope for us I hold hope for us my heart is in danger our future is a stranger but I hold hope for us Nights are so lonely when I'm not in your arms I miss you in the mornings you erased all my scars you gave me no reason just gone without a trace but I can see your face so I hold hope for us I hold hope for us my heart is in danger our future is a stranger but I hold hope for us -Did you take all these photos? -Um, yeah.
-You're pretty handy with a camera.
-Unfortunately, I haven't quite mastered the Espresso machine, yet.
Did you say you wanted a lot of foam? -Whatever you think is right.
-Okay.
- Oh, ow! Aw, I'm sorry.
I'm not usually this much of a klutz.
-Uh, I think you should stick to photography.
Let me handle the cappuccino.
-Okay.
I never noticed that ring around your neck.
Where'd you get it? -Uh, I never wear it at work.
It's against regulations.
The rest of the time, I never take it off.
-Must be pretty special, then.
Who gave it to you? -Oh, it's a long story.
-Well, the coffee's pretty strong, so I bet you'll be up half the night.
-It originally belonged to an aboriginal tribal chief.
His wife had just died and he realized at his age, he'd never fall in love again.
The ring had been in his family for generations, but he had five daughters and no sons.
No one to pass it on to.
-So how'd you get your hands on it? -I saved his life.
Pulled him out of a quicksand pit.
And he insisted on giving it to me as an expression of his gratitude.
Supposedly, whoever wears it is blessed with a spirit of eternal love.
And whoever I give it to, will share the same blessing.
-So who you gonna give it to? Kathleen? -No.
Kathleen and I are finished.
-Really? Since when? -Since I realized that I was in love with somebody else.
- Good foam.
-There's still a bit on your lip.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
-Thanks.
-Oops, I guess we shoulda knocked.
-No, no, no.
We were just, um, having coffee.
-In the dark? I hope that you didn't spill any on the couch.
-No, I think we're okay in that department.
Actually, I was just about to say goodnight.
Can't be keeping late hours with a race coming up.
I understand that you'll be joining the field.
-Yeah.
You know, I figured if you could be a champion, how tough could it really be? -Well, if that's the way you feel, perhaps we could discuss a little wager.
-Oh, Logan, it's not about money to me.
I just wanna whip your butt.
-Well, just don't get your hopes up too high.
I know how hard it is for you to handle disappointment.
-Well, it's about time you showed your face.
-So what'd you find out? -Well, the good news is I can get you a green card.
-Yes! -The bad news is, it's gonna set you back a fair bit of cash.
-Well, how much? 5,000 dollars.
-5,000 dollars? -Look, it's gonna be all right if we can just win this race, all right? -What do you mean if? I thought you said it was money in the bank.
-You're right about those yanks.
Look.
-They seem to be gettin' the hang of it.
-That's just great, gator.
Great.
-Hi.
-Hey.
-How's everything going with your mother? -Not so hot.
She seems to have a hard time letting go.
-Well, she lost the love of her life.
I mean, how would you feel if that happened to you? -Yeah, but Tracy, it's been two years.
I mean, she needs to get on with her life.
-She will, when she's good and ready.
-Hello, dear.
Hello, Tracy.
I hope I'm not bothering you.
-Not at all.
Come in.
-Ah, you certainly seem to be in a much better mood this morning.
-Well, you'll never guess what happened.
I was out taking a swim and I ran into someone I haven't seen since I was in high school.
Funny thing is, he use to be a lifeguard.
Says you know him.
-Ah, what's his name? -Chip odom.
-Hey, mitchy! Small world, isn't it? Your mom hasn't changed a bit.
She is just as gorgeous as ever.
Well, you must be Tracy.
Cliff odom.
I use to work here, long time ago.
-Really? -I was one of the original Baywatch lifeguards.
You ever hear of the red knights? -Oh, I'm afraid I haven't.
-Well, my picture's hangin' downstairs in the lounge.
Come on, I'll show ya.
-I don't think so.
Uh, uh, we've gotta hit the sand.
-Well, I'll have a look for it when we get back.
-You sure are a pretty little thing.
Where you from? Australia.
-Land down under.
I visited there, once, before you were born.
Most beautiful beaches in the world.
-Uh, let them go, cliff.
We'll talk about it at dinner.
-Dinner? -Oh, yes.
I invited cliff for dinner tonight.
I hope you don't mind.
-What are you so upset about? I mean, you're the one that told her to spread her wings.
-Yeah, not in his direction.
-Now, what's wrong with cliff? I mean, I thought he was rather charming in a crude and boorish sort of way.
-Cliff odom was one of the most notorious letches on the beach.
He's hit on everybody from Greta garbo to Edith, the bag lady.
-I'm gonna get a cream soda.
You want anything, grandpa? -Maybe I should.
All of a sudden, my mouth feels as dry as a bone.
-Oh my god, grandpa! Grandpa! Oh, you're having a stroke! I'm gonna get you to the hospital.
-Mitch, look at that boat out there.
It's heading right for the shore.
-What the hell? Help! Ah! -You all right? -I'm okay.
It's my grandfather.
-Get a pulse.
Get the O2 workin'.
What happened? -I think he had a stroke.
All right, let's backboard him.
Right.
Here we go.
Be in position.
-Okay, we'll roll him over on three.
Ready? One, two, three.
On three, we take him back.
One, two, three.
Okay.
Let's buckle him up.
Okay.
On three, we lift him.
Ready? One, two, three, lift.
All right.
Get him out.
All right.
Easy in.
Okay.
-Sorry about crashing on your beach, but when I saw your headquarters, I realized you were his only chance.
You wanna ride? - Yes.
- All right.
-Just a few more minutes, grandpa.
We're almost there.
- Go! - He'll be all right.
-I still don't understand why she grounded the boat on the beach.
-Well, she knew that the lifeguards were the closest medical emergency team.
-We were able to get her grandfather on high flow oxygen.
Saved his life.
-That's a bright girl.
-He's still in intensive care, but he's responding well to the treatments.
He should make a full recovery.
-Well, you both should be very proud of each other.
-That reminds me of the time that I was in this cross-channel swim to Catalina.
And I felt this explosion inside of me.
Well, it turns out that my appendix had burst.
They got me to the hospital in the Nick of time.
The doctor who operated on me said it was the biggest mess he'd ever seen.
Have you ever seen a burst appendix, Tracy? -For god sake's, cliff! We're eating dinner here.
- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to gross you out.
Hey, by the way, this stuff is delicious.
My compliments to the chef.
-Warm up your coffee for you? -Oh, thank you.
You're spoilin' me.
Oh, gosh.
It's good to be with you.
-Well, that looks delicious.
-Look at him! He's putting the moves on my mother right in front of us.
I don't believe this.
-Will you lighten up? -Excuse me, I'm not about to stand here and watch some over-the-hill pickup artist hustle my mother.
-You're such a flirt.
- You sure are beautiful.
-Why don't you go sit down and relax, dear? I'll help with the dishes.
-Oh, that's okay, mom.
-Oh, no, but I want to talk to Tracy.
We haven't had a chance to speak a word all evening.
-All right.
-You know, he loves you very much.
-He's a good man.
-Yes, but he's been hurt so much in the past.
I worry about him.
-Not as much as he worries about you.
-Is that somethin', me runnin' in to your mother after all of these years? -You don't think I know what you're up to? -I beg your pardon.
-You stay away from her.
-Now, wait just a minute, son.
-Don't ever call me son.
Don't ever call me son.
-Now, look, Mitch.
I know I've got a certain reputation, but so help me, I've changed.
I swear.
This is not just a fling to me.
-Fling? Fling? You're using the word fling about my mother? You stay away from her.
You keep your hands off of her.
-Anybody ready for dessert? Hot apple pie! - Pretty embarrassing, huh? -Is Logan Fowler here? -Uh, no.
He's already gone to his tower.
-Will you see him? -Most likely.
-Would you tell him our prenuptial agreement is ready to be signed and that he can stop by my attorney's office when he gets off duty? -We'll be sure and give him the message.
-Thank you.
-There you go.
Try to be more careful, okay? -Okay.
-Once again, you have managed to humiliate me.
Is it some sort of sport for you, Logan? Or are you just in to being cruel? -I have no idea what you're talking about.
-Kathleen showed up at headquarters to tell you that the prenuptial agreement is ready for your signature.
-She did? -Why did you lie to me? -I didn't lie to you.
I am not gonna marry Kathleen.
-Well, she's under the impression that you are.
I know.
I haven't told her, yet.
-Do you wanna tell me what's going on? -At one point, I was thinking of marrying her to get my green card.
Fortunately, that's never gonna have to happen.
Turns out gator has some connections.
I'm gonna get my green card through him.
-Well, how? Logan, it can't be legal.
What if you get caught? -What's the alternative? I go home and we never see each other again.
My visa is about to expire.
It's the only choice I've got.
-Not necessarily.
You could have asked me.
-That's a very generous offer, but I don't think that's any way to start a love affair.
We don't wanna put the cart before the horse, so to speak.
-So when do you plan on breaking the news to Kathleen? -As soon as I win the rubber ducky race.
-What does winning the race have to do with anything? -Well, I need my portion of the prize money to pay for the green card.
-Logan! -Don't worry.
We'll win.
I promise.
-Yeah! Come on, let's go! Woohoo! -What do you say, mate? It's now or never.
-Go for it.
-Let's go, barnett! Go, barnett, faster! -Here we go! -Turn around.
-Someone else'll pick 'em up.
- We're turning around, damn it, now! - I'm okay.
- Get Matt.
Get Matt.
-C.
j, over there.
Barnett, you okay? -Yeah.
-I need some help here.
-I'm all right.
I'm all right.
-Okay.
You almost got killed.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
And crossing the finish line, the winning team, New Zealand! -Yeah, that'll be tower 12 for that guy.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- Thank you, roxy.
Mom! -I prefer to handle this myself, all right? -I understand.
I'll wait right here.
-Hey, hi.
What are you doin' here? -I came to say goodbye.
-Goodbye? -Well, cliff's taking me on a cruise to acapulco.
- Mom.
You are not going on a cruise with him.
-Mitch.
I know how you feel about our relationship, but I'm not asking for your approval.
Listen, don't make me crawl back in the shell you finally got me to crawl out of.
I didn't think I would feel this way.
I finally realize that I will not be growing old with your father.
And I don't want to grow old by myself.
-If you're happy, I'm happy.
-Oh, thank you, darling.
-Walk you to your car? -Oh, you're so galant.
-Now, you have a great time.
-Thank you.
-Don't worry.
I'll take good care of her.
-Say goodbye to Tracy for me.
I'm sorry if I was a little standoffish at first.
I'm glad you found her.
You two will be very happy together.
-All right.
Be good, huh.
-I'll try.
-Goodbye, son.
-I told you to never call me that.
-Right.
-Bye.
-Logan! -Back to work so soon? -All I had was a slight concussion, no major damage.
-That's good.
-Look, um, I wanted to say thanks for saving my neck the other day.
-Well, it's the least I could've done.
-No, you could've gone on and won the race.
-Yeah.
Well, I guess I'm not as tough as you thought.
See ya later.
-By the way, I hear you got married.
-Yeah.
That's right.
-Congratulations.
-This is for you.
-Boo! - Gator! Oh, I was wondering when you were gonna turn up.
-Oh, you look, you look as lovely as ever.
-No.
Well, how's it goin' back home? -Oh, they're missin' you desperately.
They begged me to bring you back, in fact.
It's great to see ya laughin' again.
Logan tells me some yank's head over heels with ya.
Thought that weren't gonna happen.
- I didn't want it to happen.
-Did you tell him? -Not yet.
-Don't you think he's got a right to know? - I'm gonna tell him.
When? -As soon as I get up the nerve.
-The longer you leave it, trace, the harder it's gonna get.
-I know.
