Love Affair Page #5

I think so. I think so.

- Don't think.

- Right.

The great ones don't, huh?

- How you doing?

- How are you?

I'd like to send the lady a drink.

A glass of tomato juice, two raw eggs

and a shot of vinegar.

About last night...

Listen...

You don't want to mess up your life

any more than I do mine.

Well...

You can get a small plane tonight

to Tahiti, then to Sydney.

This boat will take two days to reach

an airport. You can get there tonight.

I'm gonna run along.

Big shuffleboard game?

As a matter of fact, I know a woman

who lives on the next island.

I'm shocked and amazed.

She's amazing. Want to come?

Do you feel you need a chaperon?

- She's my aunt.

- Your aunt?

A couple hours with a guy and his

aunt... Meet me in 20 minutes.

Do you have an aunt on every island?

Your aunt?

Sure.

Oh, ducks!

Out! Go on.

Holy Moses! Get!

For God's sake, Michael!

What are you doing here?

- You're the only restaurant in town.

- This is a surprise.

She's a surprise, too.

You, her, what a surprise.

You certainly have got yourself

a handful.

Actually, no, I don't.

He's got the handful? Good.

Very good. It's about time.

I like that.

You've got the wrong girl.

I say, you're a knockout in person

and look so much younger.

Do they make you up on television?

This is not Lynn,

this is Terry MclKay.

We were on a plane together and

we had to land on the islands and...

Why were you

on a plane together?

- We were going to Australia.

- We're friends.

This isn't Lynn.

Friends?

- This isn't the girl you'll marry?

- No.

Well...

- We gotta be back on the boat by 5.

- It's nice to meet you.

Friends?

Rau, come and look who's here.

So...

Well...

How's the new job?

How is it? Is it fun?

Is it satisfying, at least?

Say no more. Say no more.

Eloquent, isn't he?

A born broadcaster.

How are you doing?

This is Rau. Terry MclKay.

- Look at you! How big he is!

- Come see the little one.

We're going to see the baby.

Be right back.

What do you think of your brother?

Tell me, as a friend, what do you

think of Michael's fiance?

Well, we just met, Mike and I.

- You're a new friend?

- I haven't met Lynn.

Neither have I, as I'm sure

you've gathered by now.

- Are you in broadcasting?

- No.

- What do you do?

- Music.

- Music?

- Music.

Your house is beautiful.

It's rather nice.

I'd never leave here.

I hope you don't feel awkward

being here with Michael...

...when he's engaged.

I'm engaged myself.

Are you happy?

I'd better be.

I have everything I want.

- That's what Michael says.

- Why do you think he's wrong?

I didn't say he was wrong.

Naive, maybe.

The trick in life isn't

getting what you want...

...it's wanting it after you get it.
