Solid.

Hi. Hello.

How's it going?

Leuban! Lisa!

Hey.

Hi!

Hello.

lsn't this exciting?

lt is. lt's fun.

You know what? I think l'm gonna

skip the scuba diving.

Reuben, no. You called eight hotels.

They all said that this guy was the best.

I know, but you know

how I am about boats,

and l'm feeling a little queasy.

Oh, no.

Your stomach's acting funny?

lt's okay now, but I think it might--

You know how it gets, you know?

So why don't you go?

We're on our honeymoon.

l'm not gonna go without you.

No! You've been wanting to try this.

I want you to go, okay?

No.

lt'll be fun. l'll pick you up

like at 4:
00, all right?

I love you.

I love you too.

Okay? Okay.

You're not for scuba, Leuban?

No, Claude.

- l'm gonna go run some errands in town.

- [Scoffs]

But you guys go. You have fun.

Can I talk to you for a second though?

- Of course.

- [No Audible Dialogue]

Hey, listen, this woman means more

to me than anything else in the world,

so be careful 'cause scuba can be

very dangerous if the proper

precautions aren't taken.

Leuban, look to me in my eyeball.

I promise you I take care of Lisa

as if she were my own flesh and blood.

Thank you.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Solid!

Okay. Solid.

Okay.

All right? Are you ready?

Yeah, yeah.

So is there gonna be

a little boat that comes over--

Alley-oop.

[Screams]

Oh!

Ha ha!

Au revoir, Leuban.

Bye-bye, honey!

I love you!

I love you!

We'rejammin'

Jammin; jammin; jammin'

l'm jammed

I hope you'rejammin'too

Jam's about my pride

and truth I cannot hide

To keep you satisfied

True love that now exist

is the love I can't resist

Lisa! Claude!

Sojam by my side

Guys? Hello!

We'rejammin'

Lisa?

Knock, knock!

[Metal Clanging]

Oh, my God.

[Lisa Moaning]

Ooh la la! Ooh la la!

[Glass Shatters]

Oh, my God!

Holy sh*t, Leuban!

This is not what it look like.

- You're staying on the island with Claude?

- l'm a little confused right now, Reuben.

I think I need a little time

just to figure things out.

What did you do to her?

Did you mess around with her

oxygen tanks or something?

I did nothing, Leuban.

My name is not 'Leuban'!

lt is 'Reuben'!

Look, we had a scuba,

we talk about life,

we drink some white wine.

We cannot help it.

lt is like love at first sight.

She make like the fire in my trouser.

- Ohh!

- What he's trying to say, Reuben,

is that we didn't plan it.

Reuben, itjust--it happened.

lt's like the story of the hippo.

l'm not familiar with that story.

The hippopotamus, he is not born

going, 'Cool bean, I am a hippo.'

No way,Jos.

So he tried to paint the stripe on himself

to be like the zebra, but he fool no one.
