It's 5:
30. If you don't go to bed...

...we'll sleep all day tomorrow.

The toilet in my room doesn't flush!

Good morning, Miss MclKay.

Welcome to our beautiful Belorussia.

You'll be in stateroom 21.

What happened to Hawaii?

It was another 4 hours.

- That's terrible!

- I know.

Where is the telephone?

There is none.

There's radiotelegraph.

You fill out the form

and hang it on the door.

Will you be sure Miss MclKay's bags

go to her room?

- Excuse me.

- Oh, hello.

Smooth.

We can work our way around here.

- Is this uncomfortable for you?

- What?

Given our history and...

I don't think we want

to give people the wrong idea.

- Why ask for trouble?

- Right.

- You do attract attention, you know.

- As do you.

- And very deservedly, I might add.

- Thank you.

But I'm nothing if not discreet.

That's common knowledge.

If it were, you wouldn't be discreet.

I'm fine with our history.

Thank you.

- You know what it is? Your hair.

- Longer.

- It was a lot longer.

- Now it's longer.

That's what I mean.

But there's more red in it.

- Not really.

- No, not really.

It probably looks more red

because it's longer.

But that's not how I get a sense

of someone. This is my room.

There's 21.

Mike, you were nice on the plane.

You serious?

Let me ask you,

when you think about us...

...what do you remember most?

We only saw each other once.

You tripped on a bag

in front of a hotel as I got a cab.

We never met.

Beautiful luggage.

I do have a weakness for nice things.

Me, too. Nice things are nice.

Better get to work

on those telegrams.

He says, it's honor

to have you all aboard.

That we are proud to offer help

in moment of crisis.

- We love Americans.

- Watch.

We were in Hawaii last year...

...at the same hotel as Alex Trebeck.

- Really?

- Don't drink the water.

Hey, the coach is here!

Mr. Gambril, I'm the captain.

On behalf of captain,

welcome to our happy table.

- Herb, Nora.

- And you know...

We met briefly.

- Miss...?

- MclKay.

- Nice to see you again.

- Certainly nice to see you again.

Please, sit there.

Over there is good, too.

Wally Tripp.

Good to meet you.

Radiotelegram.

If you don't make a friend of TV

it exploits your misery.

You're miserable, you watch TV,

you escape, you see more misery.

- Violence, war...

- I tell you, TV has been good to me.

Mike, you're in local TV now, right?

You have to make a friend

of television.

$ 75?

Small school, tiny school,

no money, no bucks.

How do you say, "You can be great?"

- What's the toughest thing?

- Getting them to listen?

- Or getting them to think?

- The great ones don't.

What do you mean?

They react.

They don't have to think.
