A middle-aged divorced man wants to be the swinging single he didn't get to be in his younger days; and a young woman requests the power to see into her future.
(BELL TOLLING)
THE PLANE! THE PLANE!
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
GOOD MORNING, BOSS.
GOOD MORNING, TATTOO.
LET'S GO.
SMILES, EVERYONE. SMILES.
(PLAYING POLYNESIAN MUSIC)
ROARKE: THAT GENTLEMAN
IS MR. HERMAN DODGE,
WHO TRAVELED ALL THE
WAY FROM DOBBS FERRY.
AND HIS FRIEND AND PARTNER
IN THE GLOVE MANUFACTURING
BUSINESS, MR. STAN BURNS.
MANUFACTURER. OH, THEY'RE HERE TO
MAKE A BIG DEAL AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
NOT EXACTLY. MR. DODGE'S
PRESENT NEEDS ARE FAR MORE BASIC.
THESE RECENT YEARS HAVE
BEEN ONES OF SEXUAL REVOLUTION.
MEN AND WOMEN HAVE
BECOME LIBERATED.
YOU MEAN...
PRECISELY.
EXCEPT FOR SOME MEMBERS
OF MR. DODGE'S GENERATION,
WHO FEEL, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY,
THAT THEY MISSED THE BOAT.
BUT NOW THAT HIS FAMILY IS GROWN
AND HE HAS SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE,
MR. DODGE'S FANTASY IS TO
ENJOY THE YOUTH HE MISSED.
HE WISHES TO BECOME
A YOUNG SWINGER.
HIM? A SWINGER? OH, BOSS!
IS IT EVER TOO LATE ON
FANTASY ISLAND, MY FRIEND?
TATTOO: OH, SHE LOOK
OKAY TO ME, BOSS.
YES, SHE'S VERY ATTRACTIVE.
HER NAME IS MISS SHARON SANDERS.
SHE COMES FROM A VERY SMALL
TOWN CALLED BOULDER VALLEY, IOWA,
WHERE SHE SPENT HER ENTIRE LIFE.
WHAT'S HER FANTASY?
MISS SANDERS WISHES THE
POWER OF PRECOGNITION.
SHE WANTS TO BE ABLE
TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN IN HER LIFE.
TO SEE IN THE FUTURE? OH,
BOSS! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE
FUTURE HOLDS IN STORE FOR HER.
PERHAPS MISS SANDERS WOULD BE
MUCH HAPPIER IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
MY DEAR GUESTS,
I AM MR. ROARKE, YOUR HOST.
WELCOME TO FANTASY ISLAND.
(DISCO MUSIC PLAYING)
HERM. HERM.
I SAW. I SAW.
I CAN'T GET OVER IT, HERM.
YOU LOOK 15 YEARS YOUNGER.
THIS IS THE FANTASY ISLAND MARINA,
WHERE ALL THE SWINGERS LIVE.
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE.
COULD WE HAVE SOME OF THE...
OH, BY ALL MEANS.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT FEEL FREE TO
PLAY HOST HERE, MR. DODGE. OH, YES.
THIS IS YOUR BOAT. AND THIS IS YOUR
PARTY, WHICH IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
EVERYTHING WE ALWAYS
TALKED ABOUT ON THE 741, RIGHT?
WHY DON'T YOU GENTLEMEN DANCE?
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MR. ROARKE,
ALL I KNOW IS JITTERBUGGING,
AND THAT WENT OUT
ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO.
BUT I'M WILLING
TO GIVE IT A TRY.
PLEASE DO.
MR. DODGE.
HI. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?
BELIEVE IN YOUR FANTASY,
MR. DODGE. BELIEVE.
I'M PEGGY.
HERM. I... MY FRIENDS
CALL ME HERM.
ROARKE: PLEASE, FORGIVE US FOR
KEEPING YOU WAITING, MISS SANDERS.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN.
THANK YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'M ACTUALLY HERE
AND THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GRANT
MY WISH TO SEE THE FUTURE.
DO YOU THINK I'M BEING SILLY?
OH, NO. NOT AT ALL.
I AM SURE THAT, AT ONE TIME
OR ANOTHER, MOST PEOPLE
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE POWER TO
SEE WHAT LIFE HAS WAITING FOR THEM.
BUT TELL ME, WHY IS IT
SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?
WELL, MR. ROARKE, I WAS BORN
AND RAISED IN BOULDER VALLEY.
I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KNOW
IF I'M GONNA LIVE AND DIE THERE.
AND IF YOU FIND OUT YOU ARE?
THEN I'D... I'D CHANGE THINGS.
OH, THAT'S NOT
POSSIBLE, MISS SANDERS.
NOT POSSIBLE?
NO, NO. PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
THERE ARE TWO
SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT.
ONE IS THAT FREE WILL EXISTS
AND WE HAVE POWER
TO CHANGE OUR FUTURE.
IN OTHER WORDS, OUR
DESTINY IS IN OUR OWN HANDS.
NOW, THE OTHER SAYS
PREDESTINATION EXISTS.
IT IS WRITTEN IN OUR STARS,
AND IS UNCHANGEABLE.
BY ASKING FOR YOUR FANTASY, YOU ASSUME
THAT THE SECOND SCHOOL IS THE CORRECT ONE.
THEREFORE, FOR YOU, IT WILL BE.
THE FUTURE YOU'LL SEE IS A FACT.
IT IS ALREADY FIXED
IN TIME. IMMUTABLE.
WHATEVER IT HOLDS FOR
YOU, IT CANNOT BE CHANGED.
ARE YOU PREPARED TO
ACCEPT THAT, MISS SANDERS?
THINK ABOUT IT CAREFULLY.
BE VERY, VERY CERTAIN.
I AM PREPARED, MR. ROARKE.
VERY WELL.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S
REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
ROARKE: AND VERY OLD.
DATING BACK INTO
THE MISTS OF TIME
AND ENCRUSTED WITH
THE LEGENDS OF ITS POWER.
ONE OF THOSE LEGENDS IS THAT
ANYBODY WHO WEARS THE RING
WILL BE GIVEN THE ABILITY
TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
PUT IT ON, MISS SANDERS.
TATTOO: DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?
YES. I WAS SITTING WITH
A MAN, HAVING A DRINK.
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
IT'S EXCITING, BUT
IT SCARED ME, TOO.
OH, I'M SORRY. BUT I WANTED
TO BE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD.
I THINK I DO.
THANK YOU, MR. ROARKE.
- YOU'RE WELCOME,
MISS SANDERS.
- TATTOO.
BYE-BYE. GOODBYE.
BOSS, IS SHE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?
WE'LL SEE, TATTOO.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
I NEVER MET ANYONE BEFORE,
WHO CAPTAINED HIS OWN BOAT.
WILL YOU TELL US AGAIN ABOUT
THE STORMS YOU RODE OUT?
AND THE KILLER
WAVE IN BORA BORA,
WHEN ALL YOU HAD WAS A
TINY SURFBOARD, ROCKY?
HUH, ROCKY?
HEY, DUKE. ISN'T
THAT YOUR PEGGY?
YEAH, YEAH, WE JUST HAD A
LITTLE ARGUMENT, THAT'S ALL.
I TOOK THIS BOAT,
AND I TOOK IT THROUGH WAVES.
YOU NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY AND
THE BULL HE'S BEEN SLINGING AROUND?
ALL I KNOW IS,
MR. SUCCESS HAS GOT HER.
AND YOU, YOU'RE
DANCING WITH YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
OKAY.
HEY, BUDDY. I THINK
YOU'RE A PHONY.
YOU TALKING TO ME?
DON'T PAY HIM ANY
ATTENTION, ROCKY.
HE'S JUST SOMETHING
I USED TO DATE.
WHY DON'T YOU BOOGIE
ON OUT OF HERE, DUKE?
HEY, LOOK. WE GOT A LITTLE
THING WE DO AROUND HERE.
WE'RE ALL INTO WATER
SPORTS, YOU KNOW.
SOME OF US ARE
PRETTY GOOD AT IT.
AND SOME OF US JUST TALK BIG.
I GUESS IF YOU'RE NOT ALL TALKER,
YOU'LL BE GOING FOR MY CROWN, RIGHT?
HIS CROWN? UH-HUH.
KING OF THE MARINA. AND IF YOU'RE
AS HOT AS YOU THINK YOU ARE, BIG SHOT,
THE COMPETITION STARTS
TOMORROW. SEE YOU THERE.
YOU KNOW, ROCKY,
MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO OUT
THERE AND TEACH HIM A LESSON.
BESIDES, WE'VE NEVER
HAD A WINNER BEFORE.
WHO'S WE?
WELL, YOU SEE, THE
MARINA'S CUT IN HALF.
SORT OF LIKE THE NORTH
AGAINST THE SOUTH.
WE LIVE ON THE SOUTH
SIDE. DUKE'S FROM THE NORTH.
IT WOULD BE SO EASY FOR YOU OUT ON
THAT LITTLE SKI WITH THAT LITTLE MOTOR.
OH, IT'D MEAN SO MUCH TO US.
LITTLE SKI?
MOTOR? YEAH.
JUST FOR THE QUALIFYING
RUN. TO SHOW DUKE UP.
AND YOU WON'T HAVE
TO DO ANYTHING ELSE,
IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR.
WELL, THAT SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH.
(GIGGLES)
OH, I JUST LOVE YOU, ROCKY.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
YEAH.
SHARON: WHAT A TAXI! MR. ROARKE
REALLY KNOWS HOW TO LIVE IN STYLE.
A GAMBLING CASINO'S A GOOD
PLACE TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
THANK YOU.
I TELL YOU. I BROKE THE
BANK. I'D LIKE A DRINK.
(DRUNKENLY) I'M OKAY.
I'M TELLING YOU. I'M OKAY.
I CAN DRIVE.
COME ON, GIVE ME THE KEYS.
GIVE ME... GET IN
THERE, I'M DRIVING.
(GASPS)
LOOK OUT!
WHAT THE...
STUPID IDIOT. DID YOU SEE THAT GUY?
HE'D HAVE KILLED ME IF YOU HADN'T...
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I THINK SO.
HOW'D YOU KNOW? KNOW WHAT?
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT
I WAS WALKING RIGHT...
I DIDN'T.
YOU DIDN'T? WELL
THEN, WHY'D YOU JUST...
OH, I GUESS...
PREMONITION.
PREMONITION, HUH? I GUESS.
SOMETHING WRONG? HUH?
NO, NO.
LISTEN, I THINK I COULD REALLY
USE A DRINK. HAVE ONE WITH ME?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
IT'S JUST THAT THIS IS
ALL VERY NEW TO ME.
LISTEN, HAVE YOU
EVER GAMBLED BEFORE?
WHAT DO YOU CALL MY
BEING HERE WITH YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. YOU
KNOW, LIKE ROULETTE, BLACKJACK.
WELL, I'M AFRAID THAT GAMBLING
IN BOULDER VALLEY IS RESTRICTED
TO BINGO GAMES AT THE
SUNDAY CHURCH SOCIAL.
WHILE I'M HERE, MAYBE I
SHOULD TRY A LITTLE ROULETTE.
LISTEN, I...
I THINK WE'LL NEED A
BIGGER STAKE THAN THIS.
YOU SIT TIGHT, I'LL GO GET
A CHECK CASHED, OKAY?
OKAY.
IT'S MY TOMB!
MY GRAVESTONE.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(WOMEN LAUGHING)
HEY, STAN.
HOW ABOUT THESE CUFF LINKS, HUH?
ROCKY, HOW COME YOU HANG
OUT WITH AN OLD GUY LIKE STAN?
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME?
OKAY.
HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM?
OH, MATURE.
I GUESS I'D SAY AT LEAST 31.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
(LAUGHING GLEEFULLY)
AT LEAST 31.
OH, I'M SORRY, MAXINE.
MAXINE?
HERMAN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
I HARDLY RECOGNIZE YOU
IN THAT RIDICULOUS OUTFIT.
EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.
MAXINE, ARE YOU TRYING
TO RUIN MY FANTASY?
HERM, I SPENT TOO
MANY YEARS AS YOUR WIFE
WORRYING ABOUT YOUR FANTASIES
TO WORRY ABOUT THEM NOW.
BESIDES, I'M HAVING
TOO MUCH FUN.
A GIRL CAN DO SO
MANY THINGS TODAY.
MAXINE, ACT YOUR AGE.
WELL, I'M SORRY HERMAN,
BUT WOMEN DO HAVE THEIR
FANTASIES TOO, YOU KNOW.
YEAH, BUT NOT YOU,
MAXINE. YOU'RE SO PRACTICAL.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT YOU
THOUGHT WHEN WE WERE MARRIED.
YOU STILL DOING YOUR EXERCISES?
HOW'S YOUR BACK?
IT DOESN'T PREVENT ME FROM
DANCING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.
I'M GLAD, HERM.
WELL, I GUESS I
BETTER GO NOW. BYE.
(SIGHS)
ROCKY, THAT LADY YOU WERE
TALKING TO, I DON'T THINK I LIKE HER.
OH, SHE'S OKAY. IT'S JUST THAT
THERE ARE SOME THINGS SHE
DOESN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND ABOUT...
SOME THINGS.
YEAH, WELL, WHO IS SHE, ANYWAY?
SHE'S NO ONE, IT'S MY AUNT.
YEAH, MY AUNT. SHE'S MY AUNT.
OH, YOUR AUNT.
GOOD.
BECAUSE I DON'T SHARE
MY MAN WITH ANYBODY.
YOUR MAN? YOU MEAN, I'M YOUR...
UH-HUH.
AND I KNOW JUST WHAT
MAKES MY MAN HAPPY.
PEGGY, I'M HAPPY.
I'M REALLY VERY HAPPY.
I WAS KIND OF AFRAID I'D
MISSED SOMETHING IN LIFE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
OH, IT'S OKAY. EVERYTHING'S
JUST FINE. JUST FINE NOW.
COME HERE TO YOUR MAN.
DEALER: PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, PLACE YOUR BETS.
PLACE YOUR BETS,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
AREN'T YOU GONNA PLAY?
NAH. THIS ISN'T MY NIGHT FOR ROULETTE.
I'M GONNA PLAY SOME BLACKJACK.
WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D
LIKE TO STAY HERE AND PLAY.
THE GAME REALLY FASCINATES ME.
OH.
OOH, THANKS. GOOD LUCK.
PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, PLACE YOUR BETS.
SHARON: I WONDER IF
IT WORKS AT ROULETTE?
THEN IT SHOULD COME UP 17.
NO MORE BETS.
DEALER: 17 BLACK.
I'LL PUT 500 ON 7 RED.
DEALER: 7 RED. YES, MISS,
THE ODDS ARE 35 TO 1.
PLACE YOUR BETS, PLEASE.
NO MORE BETS, PLEASE.
NUMBER SEVEN, RED.
I WON, I WON. OH, THAT'S GREAT.
PLACE YOUR BETS,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
EVERYONE, PLACE
YOUR BETS, PLEASE.
ALL OF THESE?
YES, MISS. THANK YOU.
PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN. PLACE YOUR BETS.
IT'S NUMBER 14, RED.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
SHARON: I WON AGAIN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
WHERE'S MARTIN? I
WANT HIM TO SEE THIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I'M WINNING LIKE CRAZY.
YOU'RE KIDDING? NO.
YOU MEAN ALL THIS? YES.
FROM THE ONES I GAVE YOU? YES.
SIXTEEN, RED.
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
IT'S LIKE A DREAM.
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.
PLEASE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
THE MANAGEMENT REGRETS TO
ANNOUNCE THAT IT MUST SUSPEND GAMBLING
FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING.
WHY?
WELL, APPARENTLY YOU
HAVE BROKEN THE BANK.
MADEMOISELLE, WILL YOU
PLEASE COME WITH ME?
I'M AFRAID YOU'VE CAUGHT
US IN A VERY BAD SITUATION.
THE CASINO HAS HAD SEVERAL
LARGE WINNERS THE PAST FEW DAYS.
OH, NOTHING AS LARGE AS YOURS.
BUT IT HAS CAUSED A DRAIN
ON OUR CASH RESERVES.
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU MEAN,
YOU'RE NOT PAYING OFF?
NO. NO. NO. NOTHING
LIKE THAT, MONSIEUR.
WHAT WE PROPOSE TO DO IS TO GIVE
MADEMOISELLE A POST-DATED CHECK,
UNTIL WE TRANSFER FUNDS
FROM OUR SWISS BANK ACCOUNT.
IT'LL TAKE ONE OR
TWO DAYS AT THE MOST.
WELL, THAT'S OKAY, IF IT'S
ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS.
OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I'LL HAVE THE OWNER
DRAFT A CHECK IMMEDIATELY.
THANK YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. I'M SO
EXCITED. WHAT A FANTASY.
HEY, LET'S CELEBRATE, HUH? YEAH.
I GOT A COLD BOTTLE OF
VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE IN MY ROOM.
LET'S GO. LET'S.
DO NOT OPERATE IN SHALLOW WATER.
LOOK, JUST FOLLOW DUKE.
THAT'S ALL THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO.
THAT'S ALL? OKAY. OKAY. YEAH.
HEY, LIFE JACKET, CRASH HELMET.
CRASH HELMET? OH, BOY!
(JET SKI APPROACHING)
(EXCLAIMING)
DID YOU SEE THAT?
LET'S FORGET IT, STAN. I
CAN'T PULL THIS THING OFF.
(SHUSHING) THEY'LL HEAR YOU.
YEAH, THEY'LL HEAR ME SCREAMING IN PAIN
WHEN I TAKE THIS THING OUT AND CRASH IT.
LOOK, YOU WANT THEM TO
THINK YOU'RE AN OLD FOOL?
COME ON, NOW. YOU CAN STILL HAVE
YOUR CAKE, AND YOU CAN EAT IT TOO.
HOW? JUST LISTEN TO ME.
SUCK IT IN A LITTLE, WILL YOU?
(GRUNTING)
THERE WE GO. A LITTLE MORE.
(COUGHS)
HALFWAY OUT, YOU KICK
THE FUEL LINE LOOSE.
YEAH. THEN YOU'LL STALL AND THEY'LL
HAVE TO TOW YOU IN. IT'LL BE A FORFEIT.
HERMAN: A FORFEIT? SAM: YEAH.
THEY'LL TOW ME.
I'LL BE SAFE, AND
I'LL STILL BE HERO.
YEAH.
I'LL BUY THAT. OKAY.
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
WOMAN: BE CAREFUL!
MAN 1: STEP ON IT!
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
MAN 2: LET'S DO IT!
ALL RIGHT! OPEN UP
THAT THROTTLE! LET'S GO!
THAT'S IT, HERMY, YOU CAN DO IT!
MAN 1: GO, GO!
FUEL, LET'S SEE.
FUEL LINE. FUEL I GET.
(SCREAMING)
WOW.
WHAT STOPS THIS THING?
HELP! HELP ME.
OH, HELP ME. HELP.
(SCREAMING)
LOOK OUT!
(SPECTATORS APPLAUDING)
TO YOU.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
THING THAT EVER HAPPENED.
(SCREAMING)
NO!
HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME.
WHO? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THE MAN WITH A ROPE.
PLEASE, MARTIN, I'M SORRY.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
SHARON. SHARON, LISTEN TO ME.
IS THIS A PREMONITION
LIKE BEFORE?
MARTIN, I'M GOING TO DIE.
OH, YOU CAN DO IT, HERMAN.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.
I CAN'T, STAN. THERE
IS NOTHING LEFT.
I CAN'T POSSIBLY JUMP OVER
ANY SPEEDBOATS, NO WAY.
WELL, YOU WERE
AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED, ROCKY,
WHEN YOU DUMPED THE OLD KING OF
THE MARINA. ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
EXCUSE US. EXCUSE US.
THEY THINK YOU'RE GONNA WIN THIS ONE
AND BECOME THE BIG CHEESE AROUND HERE.
FORGET IT. I JUST HAVEN'T
GOT THE STRENGTH.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU,
HERMAN? YOU REALLY LOOK TERRIBLE.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, STAN,
THESE FANTASIES REALLY
TAKE IT OUT OF A GUY.
I AM TOTALLY POOPED.
WELL, YOU GOTTA GET
HOLD OF YOURSELF, HERM.
I MEAN, YOU'LL BE AN INSPIRATION
TO MILLIONS OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN.
SO HANG IN THERE. FOR
THEM IF NOT FOR YOURSELF.
MAXINE: HERMAN.
HERMAN.
I THINK YOUR AUNT
WANTS YOU, HERMAN.
YEAH. THANK YOU.
EXCUSE US, DEAR.
HOW'RE YOU DOING, CHAMP?
I JUST HEARD THE NEWS, AND I
CAME OVER TO CONGRATULATE YOU.
BUT, REALLY, THAT GIRL.
OH, YEAH. OH, BY THE WAY, WHERE'S
YOUR SOPHOMORE THIS MORNING?
OH, HERM.
WHY DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS
JUMP OUT WHENEVER I'M WITH YOU?
I MEAN, WE WERE MARRIED. WE
SPENT A LOT OF YEARS TOGETHER.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE FRIENDS?
BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME, AND DESPITE
THAT, I MADE A LIFE FOR MYSELF.
AND YOU CANNOT STAND IT.
I THINK YOUR HAPPINESS IS JUST
ABOUT TO JIGGLE ON OVER HERE.
BY THE WAY, ARE YOU
DATING OR ADOPTING?
SATCHEL PAIGE
PITCHED WHEN HE WAS 60.
BLUEBEARD RAPED
WOMEN WHEN HE WAS 70.
I'M ONLY 31, YOU KNOW. HUH.
AT LEAST 31.
WHOA!
LOOK, I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS, HERM. YOU
CAN TELL THEM YOU'RE SICK OR SOMETHING.
MY MIND'S MADE UP.
MAXINE SAYS I SHOULD ACT MY
AGE. SHE SAYS I LOOK RIDICULOUS.
SHE ASKED ME IF I WAS
DATING OR ADOPTING.
I'LL SHOW HER.
LOOK AT HER.
LISTEN, HERM. YOU COULD FINISH
OUT YOUR FANTASY IN BED. WHO'D CARE?
I'D CARE.
PEGGY: COME ON, HERMY. YOU'RE
ALMOST THERE. JUST A LITTLE MORE.
YOU'RE ALMOST THERE.
STAN: YOU CAN DO IT, HERM.
COME ON, HERMY.
TERRIFIC, HERMY. TERRIFIC.
(HERMAN EXCLAIMING)
(SCREAMING)
SHARON: AND THEN I WAS
BACKED UP AGAINST THIS COFFIN,
AND THERE WAS THIS MAN COMING AT
ME WITH A PIECE OF ROPE IN HIS HANDS.
DID YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?
NO. I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
HE'S AN OLDER MAN, AND HE'S
BIG AND HE'S VERY STRONG.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN
TO HER, MR. ROARKE,
THAT WHAT SHE SAW WASN'T REAL.
OH, I BEG TO DIFFER
WITH YOU, MR. WARD.
WHAT MISS SANDERS
SAW WAS HER FUTURE.
MISS SANDERS, HAVE YOU COME TO
ME FOR SOME SORT OF REASSURANCE?
WELL, YES.
OH, I WISH I COULD
GIVE YOU SOME.
PERHAPS I CAN. NOT
MUCH, BUT A LITTLE.
YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN
THAT GLIMPSE YOU HAD OF YOUR FUTURE
WILL TAKE PLACE.
TOMORROW, NEXT WEEK, NEXT
MONTH, OR YEARS FROM NOW.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU
SAYING, MR. ROARKE?
THAT I SHOULD ENJOY
LIFE WHILE I CAN?
WELL, EITHER THAT OR LIVE
EVERY MOMENT IN DREAD AND FEAR.
WHICH IS A KIND OF DEATH ITSELF.
THAT'S HIM! THAT'S THE MAN!
THAT'S THE MAN WHO'S
TRYING TO KILL ME.
MR. ROARKE, DO
SOMETHING, PLEASE.
HEY, YOU! STOP! HOLD IT!
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
SHARON, IS IT HIM? YES.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?
LOOK, YOUNG LADY. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU'RE LYING. HE'S LYING,
MR. ROARKE. CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING?
WELL, WHAT SHOULD I DO? HAVE
YOU EVER MET THIS GENTLEMAN?
SHARON: WELL, NO, BUT...
ROARKE: DO YOU KNOW OF ANY
REASON WHY HE'D WANT TO KILL YOU?
NO, BUT HE DOES. ARREST
HIM. PUT HIM IN JAIL.
(LAUGHS) OH, THIS LADY IS CRAZY.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.
MISS SANDERS, I CAN'T PUT A MAN
IN JAIL BECAUSE OF A PREMONITION.
I'M SORRY, SIR.
RIDICULOUS.
BUT HE'S GONNA KILL ME, MR. ROARKE.
AND IT WON'T BE NEXT WEEK OR NEXT MONTH.
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN
BEFORE I LEAVE THIS ISLAND.
OH, MR. ROARKE, YOU'VE GOTTA
RELEASE ME FROM MY FANTASY.
OH, THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE.
ONCE A FANTASY HAS BEEN GRANTED,
I HAVEN'T THE POWER TO RESCIND IT.
ONCE A PERSON STARTS
LIVING HIS OR HER FANTASY,
IT TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS
OWN. IT'S IRREVERSIBLE.
THEN I'M GONNA BE
KILLED, MR. ROARKE!
YOU ASKED TO SEE YOUR FUTURE.
YOU HAVE.
WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN WILL HAPPEN.
THERE IS NOTHING YOU
CAN DO TO PREVENT IT.
I'M SORRY.
(COUGHING)
MAY I JOIN YOU?
WELL, SURE. SURE.
HERE. SIT WITH ME. SIT WITH ME.
MMM-HMM. HI.
NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D
GO THROUGH WITH IT.
MAXINE, THAT WAS THE DUMBEST
THING I EVER DID IN MY LIFE.
(LAUGHING) NO ONE'S GOT
A CORNER ON DUMBNESS.
YEAH, BUT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.
ONE THING I DO KNOW.
I DON'T NEED THIS.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
GEE, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
ENJOY BEING BALD AGAIN.
I GUESS WE BOTH LEARNED SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD HURT YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU'D
BECOME INDIFFERENT.
I GOT FEELINGS TOO, MAX. THAT
DID OCCUR TO YOU, DIDN'T IT?
I GUESS I'D BETTER GO BEFORE WE
START INSULTING EACH OTHER AGAIN.
HERM, NOT THAT IT
MATTERS NOW, BUT...
YOU WEREN'T THE ONLY
ONE WHO WAS HURT.
YEAH, WAIT, WAIT A
MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE, I...
YOU'RE COMING WITH ME.
PLEASE?
(PHONE RINGING)
HELLO? SHARON.
SHARON, LISTEN. YOU'VE
GOT TO LET ME HELP.
HOW?
SHARON, LISTEN,
I'VE BEEN THINKING...
MARTIN, IT'S NO USE.
IT'S PREDESTINATION.
THE GRAVEYARD, THE
CHURCH, THE COFFIN AND...
AND THAT MAN WITH THE ROPE.
THEY ALL ADD UP TO ONE THING.
I JUST WISH I KNEW
WHERE THAT CHURCH WAS,
SO I COULD STAY AWAY FROM IT, AND
MAYBE NONE OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
LOOK, I'M DRIVING TO THE PLANE DOCK
AND I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW.
SHARON, NO!
SHARON, STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
(TIRE BURSTING)
WHY? WHY ME?
MY NAME IS EMMETT
SLATE, MISS SANDERS.
I OWN THE GAMBLING CASINO.
I'M SORRY, BUT A MILLION
DOLLARS IS A LOSS I CAN'T AFFORD.
MY BUSINESS AND MY REPUTATION,
EVERYTHING I'VE GOT IS GONE
THE MINUTE YOU PRESENT THAT
POST-DATED CHECK FOR PAYMENT.
I'LL GIVE IT BACK, JUST
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.
NO. PLEASE, NO. NO!
NO! DAMN YOU!
(PANTING)
(GROANS)
NO!
(SHARON WHIMPERING)
NO!
OH, MARTIN.
YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH, I THINK SO.
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS HERE?
I STOPPED BY YOUR
BUNGALOW, AND I FOUND THIS.
IT TOLD ME ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
WOMAN: YOU DID IT AGAIN, DUKE.
YOU'RE STILL KING OF THE MARINA.
PEGGY: HERMAN.
HERM, I'VE LOOKED
EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.
(GASPS)
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?
WELL, I SENT IT
OUT TO BE CLEANED.
NO, THAT'S NOT VERY FUNNY. I...
PEGGY, YOU'RE A VERY
SWEET GIRL. AND I'M...
I'M AT LEAST 31. I'M A
LOT OFF AT LEAST 31.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS...
THAT'S YOUR FELLOW, THERE.
VERY SPECIAL, HERM.
YOU KNOW, MAX, YOUNG
GIRLS BELONG TO YOUNG MEN.
IT SERVES THEM BOTH RIGHT.
(LAUGHS)
SO YOU ARE GOING BACK TO
BOULDER VALLEY, MISS SANDERS, HUH?
YES. AND I THINK IT'S GONNA LOOK
PRETTY GOOD TO ME AFTER THIS WEEKEND.
WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS IN
YOUR POCKET, ANYWHERE WOULD LOOK GOOD.
WE MAY EVEN SETTLE
DOWN THERE. WHO KNOWS?
YES, WHO KNOWS? IT'S BETTER
TO LEAVE THE FUTURE TO ITSELF.
MUCH BETTER.
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, MR. ROARKE,
THE FUTURE CAN BE CHANGED.
WELL, THEN, HOW DO YOU
EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT YOU SAW WAS AN
ATTEMPT ON YOUR LIFE.
AN ATTEMPT. YOU PRESUMED
THE SUCCESS OF THAT ATTEMPT.
I HOPE THE TWO OF YOU WILL TAKE
YOUR FATE IN YOUR OWN HANDS.
GOODBYE, AND GOOD LUCK.
GOODBYE. BYE-BYE.
BYE, TATTOO. GOODBYE.
MAXINE: OKAY, DON'T MOVE.
THERE YOU GO. EASY DOES IT.
MR. ROARKE, THANKS
FOR EVERYTHING.
HERM AND I ARE REALLY
GONNA MAKE IT THIS TIME.
OF THAT I AM
CERTAIN, MRS. DODGE.
OH, INCIDENTALLY, WHERE
IS YOUR FRIEND, STAN?
OH. WELL, TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MR. ROARKE,
HE'S HAVING SUCH A GOOD
TIME, HE'S DECIDED TO STAY.
OH?
ALMOST AS GOOD A TIME AS WE
HAD LAST NIGHT, RIGHT, POOPSIE?
THAT'S GOOD.
BYE, MR. ROARKE. GOODBYE.
THANK YOU.
WELL, TATTOO. THERE
GOES TWO HAPPY PEOPLE
WHO LEARNED A GOOD LESSON
ABOUT AGE THIS PAST WEEKEND.
WELL, I LEARNED SOMETHING
ABOUT AGE TOO, BOSS.
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT,
UNLESS YOU ARE A CHEESE.
TOUCHE, MY FRIEND. TOUCHE.
(LAUGHING)
THE PLANE! THE PLANE!
(GIRLS GIGGLING)
GOOD MORNING, BOSS.
GOOD MORNING, TATTOO.
LET'S GO.
SMILES, EVERYONE. SMILES.
(PLAYING POLYNESIAN MUSIC)
ROARKE: THAT GENTLEMAN
IS MR. HERMAN DODGE,
WHO TRAVELED ALL THE
WAY FROM DOBBS FERRY.
AND HIS FRIEND AND PARTNER
IN THE GLOVE MANUFACTURING
BUSINESS, MR. STAN BURNS.
MANUFACTURER. OH, THEY'RE HERE TO
MAKE A BIG DEAL AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.
NOT EXACTLY. MR. DODGE'S
PRESENT NEEDS ARE FAR MORE BASIC.
THESE RECENT YEARS HAVE
BEEN ONES OF SEXUAL REVOLUTION.
MEN AND WOMEN HAVE
BECOME LIBERATED.
YOU MEAN...
PRECISELY.
EXCEPT FOR SOME MEMBERS
OF MR. DODGE'S GENERATION,
WHO FEEL, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY,
THAT THEY MISSED THE BOAT.
BUT NOW THAT HIS FAMILY IS GROWN
AND HE HAS SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE,
MR. DODGE'S FANTASY IS TO
ENJOY THE YOUTH HE MISSED.
HE WISHES TO BECOME
A YOUNG SWINGER.
HIM? A SWINGER? OH, BOSS!
IS IT EVER TOO LATE ON
FANTASY ISLAND, MY FRIEND?
TATTOO: OH, SHE LOOK
OKAY TO ME, BOSS.
YES, SHE'S VERY ATTRACTIVE.
HER NAME IS MISS SHARON SANDERS.
SHE COMES FROM A VERY SMALL
TOWN CALLED BOULDER VALLEY, IOWA,
WHERE SHE SPENT HER ENTIRE LIFE.
WHAT'S HER FANTASY?
MISS SANDERS WISHES THE
POWER OF PRECOGNITION.
SHE WANTS TO BE ABLE
TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN IN HER LIFE.
TO SEE IN THE FUTURE? OH,
BOSS! THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE
FUTURE HOLDS IN STORE FOR HER.
PERHAPS MISS SANDERS WOULD BE
MUCH HAPPIER IF SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
MY DEAR GUESTS,
I AM MR. ROARKE, YOUR HOST.
WELCOME TO FANTASY ISLAND.
(DISCO MUSIC PLAYING)
HERM. HERM.
I SAW. I SAW.
I CAN'T GET OVER IT, HERM.
YOU LOOK 15 YEARS YOUNGER.
THIS IS THE FANTASY ISLAND MARINA,
WHERE ALL THE SWINGERS LIVE.
GENTLEMEN, PLEASE.
COULD WE HAVE SOME OF THE...
OH, BY ALL MEANS.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT FEEL FREE TO
PLAY HOST HERE, MR. DODGE. OH, YES.
THIS IS YOUR BOAT. AND THIS IS YOUR
PARTY, WHICH IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS.
EVERYTHING WE ALWAYS
TALKED ABOUT ON THE 741, RIGHT?
WHY DON'T YOU GENTLEMEN DANCE?
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MR. ROARKE,
ALL I KNOW IS JITTERBUGGING,
AND THAT WENT OUT
ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO.
BUT I'M WILLING
TO GIVE IT A TRY.
PLEASE DO.
MR. DODGE.
HI. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?
BELIEVE IN YOUR FANTASY,
MR. DODGE. BELIEVE.
I'M PEGGY.
HERM. I... MY FRIENDS
CALL ME HERM.
ROARKE: PLEASE, FORGIVE US FOR
KEEPING YOU WAITING, MISS SANDERS.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN.
THANK YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I'M ACTUALLY HERE
AND THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GRANT
MY WISH TO SEE THE FUTURE.
DO YOU THINK I'M BEING SILLY?
OH, NO. NOT AT ALL.
I AM SURE THAT, AT ONE TIME
OR ANOTHER, MOST PEOPLE
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE POWER TO
SEE WHAT LIFE HAS WAITING FOR THEM.
BUT TELL ME, WHY IS IT
SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?
WELL, MR. ROARKE, I WAS BORN
AND RAISED IN BOULDER VALLEY.
I GUESS I JUST WANT TO KNOW
IF I'M GONNA LIVE AND DIE THERE.
AND IF YOU FIND OUT YOU ARE?
THEN I'D... I'D CHANGE THINGS.
OH, THAT'S NOT
POSSIBLE, MISS SANDERS.
NOT POSSIBLE?
NO, NO. PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
THERE ARE TWO
SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT.
ONE IS THAT FREE WILL EXISTS
AND WE HAVE POWER
TO CHANGE OUR FUTURE.
IN OTHER WORDS, OUR
DESTINY IS IN OUR OWN HANDS.
NOW, THE OTHER SAYS
PREDESTINATION EXISTS.
IT IS WRITTEN IN OUR STARS,
AND IS UNCHANGEABLE.
BY ASKING FOR YOUR FANTASY, YOU ASSUME
THAT THE SECOND SCHOOL IS THE CORRECT ONE.
THEREFORE, FOR YOU, IT WILL BE.
THE FUTURE YOU'LL SEE IS A FACT.
IT IS ALREADY FIXED
IN TIME. IMMUTABLE.
WHATEVER IT HOLDS FOR
YOU, IT CANNOT BE CHANGED.
ARE YOU PREPARED TO
ACCEPT THAT, MISS SANDERS?
THINK ABOUT IT CAREFULLY.
BE VERY, VERY CERTAIN.
I AM PREPARED, MR. ROARKE.
VERY WELL.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S
REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
ROARKE: AND VERY OLD.
DATING BACK INTO
THE MISTS OF TIME
AND ENCRUSTED WITH
THE LEGENDS OF ITS POWER.
ONE OF THOSE LEGENDS IS THAT
ANYBODY WHO WEARS THE RING
WILL BE GIVEN THE ABILITY
TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
PUT IT ON, MISS SANDERS.
TATTOO: DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?
YES. I WAS SITTING WITH
A MAN, HAVING A DRINK.
I DON'T KNOW HIM.
IT'S EXCITING, BUT
IT SCARED ME, TOO.
OH, I'M SORRY. BUT I WANTED
TO BE SURE YOU UNDERSTOOD.
I THINK I DO.
THANK YOU, MR. ROARKE.
- YOU'RE WELCOME,
MISS SANDERS.
- TATTOO.
BYE-BYE. GOODBYE.
BOSS, IS SHE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?
WE'LL SEE, TATTOO.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
I NEVER MET ANYONE BEFORE,
WHO CAPTAINED HIS OWN BOAT.
WILL YOU TELL US AGAIN ABOUT
THE STORMS YOU RODE OUT?
AND THE KILLER
WAVE IN BORA BORA,
WHEN ALL YOU HAD WAS A
TINY SURFBOARD, ROCKY?
HUH, ROCKY?
HEY, DUKE. ISN'T
THAT YOUR PEGGY?
YEAH, YEAH, WE JUST HAD A
LITTLE ARGUMENT, THAT'S ALL.
I TOOK THIS BOAT,
AND I TOOK IT THROUGH WAVES.
YOU NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE IT.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY AND
THE BULL HE'S BEEN SLINGING AROUND?
ALL I KNOW IS,
MR. SUCCESS HAS GOT HER.
AND YOU, YOU'RE
DANCING WITH YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
OKAY.
HEY, BUDDY. I THINK
YOU'RE A PHONY.
YOU TALKING TO ME?
DON'T PAY HIM ANY
ATTENTION, ROCKY.
HE'S JUST SOMETHING
I USED TO DATE.
WHY DON'T YOU BOOGIE
ON OUT OF HERE, DUKE?
HEY, LOOK. WE GOT A LITTLE
THING WE DO AROUND HERE.
WE'RE ALL INTO WATER
SPORTS, YOU KNOW.
SOME OF US ARE
PRETTY GOOD AT IT.
AND SOME OF US JUST TALK BIG.
I GUESS IF YOU'RE NOT ALL TALKER,
YOU'LL BE GOING FOR MY CROWN, RIGHT?
HIS CROWN? UH-HUH.
KING OF THE MARINA. AND IF YOU'RE
AS HOT AS YOU THINK YOU ARE, BIG SHOT,
THE COMPETITION STARTS
TOMORROW. SEE YOU THERE.
YOU KNOW, ROCKY,
MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST GO OUT
THERE AND TEACH HIM A LESSON.
BESIDES, WE'VE NEVER
HAD A WINNER BEFORE.
WHO'S WE?
WELL, YOU SEE, THE
MARINA'S CUT IN HALF.
SORT OF LIKE THE NORTH
AGAINST THE SOUTH.
WE LIVE ON THE SOUTH
SIDE. DUKE'S FROM THE NORTH.
IT WOULD BE SO EASY FOR YOU OUT ON
THAT LITTLE SKI WITH THAT LITTLE MOTOR.
OH, IT'D MEAN SO MUCH TO US.
LITTLE SKI?
MOTOR? YEAH.
JUST FOR THE QUALIFYING
RUN. TO SHOW DUKE UP.
AND YOU WON'T HAVE
TO DO ANYTHING ELSE,
IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR.
WELL, THAT SOUNDS EASY ENOUGH.
(GIGGLES)
OH, I JUST LOVE YOU, ROCKY.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
YEAH.
SHARON: WHAT A TAXI! MR. ROARKE
REALLY KNOWS HOW TO LIVE IN STYLE.
A GAMBLING CASINO'S A GOOD
PLACE TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
THANK YOU.
I TELL YOU. I BROKE THE
BANK. I'D LIKE A DRINK.
(DRUNKENLY) I'M OKAY.
I'M TELLING YOU. I'M OKAY.
I CAN DRIVE.
COME ON, GIVE ME THE KEYS.
GIVE ME... GET IN
THERE, I'M DRIVING.
(GASPS)
LOOK OUT!
WHAT THE...
STUPID IDIOT. DID YOU SEE THAT GUY?
HE'D HAVE KILLED ME IF YOU HADN'T...
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I THINK SO.
HOW'D YOU KNOW? KNOW WHAT?
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT
I WAS WALKING RIGHT...
I DIDN'T.
YOU DIDN'T? WELL
THEN, WHY'D YOU JUST...
OH, I GUESS...
PREMONITION.
PREMONITION, HUH? I GUESS.
SOMETHING WRONG? HUH?
NO, NO.
LISTEN, I THINK I COULD REALLY
USE A DRINK. HAVE ONE WITH ME?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
IT'S JUST THAT THIS IS
ALL VERY NEW TO ME.
LISTEN, HAVE YOU
EVER GAMBLED BEFORE?
WHAT DO YOU CALL MY
BEING HERE WITH YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. YOU
KNOW, LIKE ROULETTE, BLACKJACK.
WELL, I'M AFRAID THAT GAMBLING
IN BOULDER VALLEY IS RESTRICTED
TO BINGO GAMES AT THE
SUNDAY CHURCH SOCIAL.
WHILE I'M HERE, MAYBE I
SHOULD TRY A LITTLE ROULETTE.
LISTEN, I...
I THINK WE'LL NEED A
BIGGER STAKE THAN THIS.
YOU SIT TIGHT, I'LL GO GET
A CHECK CASHED, OKAY?
OKAY.
IT'S MY TOMB!
MY GRAVESTONE.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(WOMEN LAUGHING)
HEY, STAN.
HOW ABOUT THESE CUFF LINKS, HUH?
ROCKY, HOW COME YOU HANG
OUT WITH AN OLD GUY LIKE STAN?
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME?
OKAY.
HOW OLD DO YOU THINK I AM?
OH, MATURE.
I GUESS I'D SAY AT LEAST 31.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
(LAUGHING GLEEFULLY)
AT LEAST 31.
OH, I'M SORRY, MAXINE.
MAXINE?
HERMAN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
I HARDLY RECOGNIZE YOU
IN THAT RIDICULOUS OUTFIT.
EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.
MAXINE, ARE YOU TRYING
TO RUIN MY FANTASY?
HERM, I SPENT TOO
MANY YEARS AS YOUR WIFE
WORRYING ABOUT YOUR FANTASIES
TO WORRY ABOUT THEM NOW.
BESIDES, I'M HAVING
TOO MUCH FUN.
A GIRL CAN DO SO
MANY THINGS TODAY.
MAXINE, ACT YOUR AGE.
WELL, I'M SORRY HERMAN,
BUT WOMEN DO HAVE THEIR
FANTASIES TOO, YOU KNOW.
YEAH, BUT NOT YOU,
MAXINE. YOU'RE SO PRACTICAL.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT YOU
THOUGHT WHEN WE WERE MARRIED.
YOU STILL DOING YOUR EXERCISES?
HOW'S YOUR BACK?
IT DOESN'T PREVENT ME FROM
DANCING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.
I'M GLAD, HERM.
WELL, I GUESS I
BETTER GO NOW. BYE.
(SIGHS)
ROCKY, THAT LADY YOU WERE
TALKING TO, I DON'T THINK I LIKE HER.
OH, SHE'S OKAY. IT'S JUST THAT
THERE ARE SOME THINGS SHE
DOESN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND ABOUT...
SOME THINGS.
YEAH, WELL, WHO IS SHE, ANYWAY?
SHE'S NO ONE, IT'S MY AUNT.
YEAH, MY AUNT. SHE'S MY AUNT.
OH, YOUR AUNT.
GOOD.
BECAUSE I DON'T SHARE
MY MAN WITH ANYBODY.
YOUR MAN? YOU MEAN, I'M YOUR...
UH-HUH.
AND I KNOW JUST WHAT
MAKES MY MAN HAPPY.
PEGGY, I'M HAPPY.
I'M REALLY VERY HAPPY.
I WAS KIND OF AFRAID I'D
MISSED SOMETHING IN LIFE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
OH, IT'S OKAY. EVERYTHING'S
JUST FINE. JUST FINE NOW.
COME HERE TO YOUR MAN.
DEALER: PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, PLACE YOUR BETS.
PLACE YOUR BETS,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
AREN'T YOU GONNA PLAY?
NAH. THIS ISN'T MY NIGHT FOR ROULETTE.
I'M GONNA PLAY SOME BLACKJACK.
WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'D
LIKE TO STAY HERE AND PLAY.
THE GAME REALLY FASCINATES ME.
OH.
OOH, THANKS. GOOD LUCK.
PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, PLACE YOUR BETS.
SHARON: I WONDER IF
IT WORKS AT ROULETTE?
THEN IT SHOULD COME UP 17.
NO MORE BETS.
DEALER: 17 BLACK.
I'LL PUT 500 ON 7 RED.
DEALER: 7 RED. YES, MISS,
THE ODDS ARE 35 TO 1.
PLACE YOUR BETS, PLEASE.
NO MORE BETS, PLEASE.
NUMBER SEVEN, RED.
I WON, I WON. OH, THAT'S GREAT.
PLACE YOUR BETS,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
EVERYONE, PLACE
YOUR BETS, PLEASE.
ALL OF THESE?
YES, MISS. THANK YOU.
PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN. PLACE YOUR BETS.
IT'S NUMBER 14, RED.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
SHARON: I WON AGAIN.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
WHERE'S MARTIN? I
WANT HIM TO SEE THIS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I'M WINNING LIKE CRAZY.
YOU'RE KIDDING? NO.
YOU MEAN ALL THIS? YES.
FROM THE ONES I GAVE YOU? YES.
SIXTEEN, RED.
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
IT'S LIKE A DREAM.
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.
PLEASE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
THE MANAGEMENT REGRETS TO
ANNOUNCE THAT IT MUST SUSPEND GAMBLING
FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING.
WHY?
WELL, APPARENTLY YOU
HAVE BROKEN THE BANK.
MADEMOISELLE, WILL YOU
PLEASE COME WITH ME?
I'M AFRAID YOU'VE CAUGHT
US IN A VERY BAD SITUATION.
THE CASINO HAS HAD SEVERAL
LARGE WINNERS THE PAST FEW DAYS.
OH, NOTHING AS LARGE AS YOURS.
BUT IT HAS CAUSED A DRAIN
ON OUR CASH RESERVES.
WAIT A MINUTE. YOU MEAN,
YOU'RE NOT PAYING OFF?
NO. NO. NO. NOTHING
LIKE THAT, MONSIEUR.
WHAT WE PROPOSE TO DO IS TO GIVE
MADEMOISELLE A POST-DATED CHECK,
UNTIL WE TRANSFER FUNDS
FROM OUR SWISS BANK ACCOUNT.
IT'LL TAKE ONE OR
TWO DAYS AT THE MOST.
WELL, THAT'S OKAY, IF IT'S
ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS.
OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I'LL HAVE THE OWNER
DRAFT A CHECK IMMEDIATELY.
THANK YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. I'M SO
EXCITED. WHAT A FANTASY.
HEY, LET'S CELEBRATE, HUH? YEAH.
I GOT A COLD BOTTLE OF
VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE IN MY ROOM.
LET'S GO. LET'S.
DO NOT OPERATE IN SHALLOW WATER.
LOOK, JUST FOLLOW DUKE.
THAT'S ALL THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO.
THAT'S ALL? OKAY. OKAY. YEAH.
HEY, LIFE JACKET, CRASH HELMET.
CRASH HELMET? OH, BOY!
(JET SKI APPROACHING)
(EXCLAIMING)
DID YOU SEE THAT?
LET'S FORGET IT, STAN. I
CAN'T PULL THIS THING OFF.
(SHUSHING) THEY'LL HEAR YOU.
YEAH, THEY'LL HEAR ME SCREAMING IN PAIN
WHEN I TAKE THIS THING OUT AND CRASH IT.
LOOK, YOU WANT THEM TO
THINK YOU'RE AN OLD FOOL?
COME ON, NOW. YOU CAN STILL HAVE
YOUR CAKE, AND YOU CAN EAT IT TOO.
HOW? JUST LISTEN TO ME.
SUCK IT IN A LITTLE, WILL YOU?
(GRUNTING)
THERE WE GO. A LITTLE MORE.
(COUGHS)
HALFWAY OUT, YOU KICK
THE FUEL LINE LOOSE.
YEAH. THEN YOU'LL STALL AND THEY'LL
HAVE TO TOW YOU IN. IT'LL BE A FORFEIT.
HERMAN: A FORFEIT? SAM: YEAH.
THEY'LL TOW ME.
I'LL BE SAFE, AND
I'LL STILL BE HERO.
YEAH.
I'LL BUY THAT. OKAY.
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
WOMAN: BE CAREFUL!
MAN 1: STEP ON IT!
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
MAN 2: LET'S DO IT!
ALL RIGHT! OPEN UP
THAT THROTTLE! LET'S GO!
THAT'S IT, HERMY, YOU CAN DO IT!
MAN 1: GO, GO!
FUEL, LET'S SEE.
FUEL LINE. FUEL I GET.
(SCREAMING)
WOW.
WHAT STOPS THIS THING?
HELP! HELP ME.
OH, HELP ME. HELP.
(SCREAMING)
LOOK OUT!
(SPECTATORS APPLAUDING)
TO YOU.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
THING THAT EVER HAPPENED.
(SCREAMING)
NO!
HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME.
WHO? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THE MAN WITH A ROPE.
PLEASE, MARTIN, I'M SORRY.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
SHARON. SHARON, LISTEN TO ME.
IS THIS A PREMONITION
LIKE BEFORE?
MARTIN, I'M GOING TO DIE.
OH, YOU CAN DO IT, HERMAN.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.
I CAN'T, STAN. THERE
IS NOTHING LEFT.
I CAN'T POSSIBLY JUMP OVER
ANY SPEEDBOATS, NO WAY.
WELL, YOU WERE
AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED, ROCKY,
WHEN YOU DUMPED THE OLD KING OF
THE MARINA. ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
EXCUSE US. EXCUSE US.
THEY THINK YOU'RE GONNA WIN THIS ONE
AND BECOME THE BIG CHEESE AROUND HERE.
FORGET IT. I JUST HAVEN'T
GOT THE STRENGTH.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU,
HERMAN? YOU REALLY LOOK TERRIBLE.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, STAN,
THESE FANTASIES REALLY
TAKE IT OUT OF A GUY.
I AM TOTALLY POOPED.
WELL, YOU GOTTA GET
HOLD OF YOURSELF, HERM.
I MEAN, YOU'LL BE AN INSPIRATION
TO MILLIONS OF MIDDLE-AGED MEN.
SO HANG IN THERE. FOR
THEM IF NOT FOR YOURSELF.
MAXINE: HERMAN.
HERMAN.
I THINK YOUR AUNT
WANTS YOU, HERMAN.
YEAH. THANK YOU.
EXCUSE US, DEAR.
HOW'RE YOU DOING, CHAMP?
I JUST HEARD THE NEWS, AND I
CAME OVER TO CONGRATULATE YOU.
BUT, REALLY, THAT GIRL.
OH, YEAH. OH, BY THE WAY, WHERE'S
YOUR SOPHOMORE THIS MORNING?
OH, HERM.
WHY DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS
JUMP OUT WHENEVER I'M WITH YOU?
I MEAN, WE WERE MARRIED. WE
SPENT A LOT OF YEARS TOGETHER.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST BE FRIENDS?
BECAUSE YOU LEFT ME, AND DESPITE
THAT, I MADE A LIFE FOR MYSELF.
AND YOU CANNOT STAND IT.
I THINK YOUR HAPPINESS IS JUST
ABOUT TO JIGGLE ON OVER HERE.
BY THE WAY, ARE YOU
DATING OR ADOPTING?
SATCHEL PAIGE
PITCHED WHEN HE WAS 60.
BLUEBEARD RAPED
WOMEN WHEN HE WAS 70.
I'M ONLY 31, YOU KNOW. HUH.
AT LEAST 31.
WHOA!
LOOK, I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THIS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS, HERM. YOU
CAN TELL THEM YOU'RE SICK OR SOMETHING.
MY MIND'S MADE UP.
MAXINE SAYS I SHOULD ACT MY
AGE. SHE SAYS I LOOK RIDICULOUS.
SHE ASKED ME IF I WAS
DATING OR ADOPTING.
I'LL SHOW HER.
LOOK AT HER.
LISTEN, HERM. YOU COULD FINISH
OUT YOUR FANTASY IN BED. WHO'D CARE?
I'D CARE.
PEGGY: COME ON, HERMY. YOU'RE
ALMOST THERE. JUST A LITTLE MORE.
YOU'RE ALMOST THERE.
STAN: YOU CAN DO IT, HERM.
COME ON, HERMY.
TERRIFIC, HERMY. TERRIFIC.
(HERMAN EXCLAIMING)
(SCREAMING)
SHARON: AND THEN I WAS
BACKED UP AGAINST THIS COFFIN,
AND THERE WAS THIS MAN COMING AT
ME WITH A PIECE OF ROPE IN HIS HANDS.
DID YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?
NO. I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
HE'S AN OLDER MAN, AND HE'S
BIG AND HE'S VERY STRONG.
I TRIED TO EXPLAIN
TO HER, MR. ROARKE,
THAT WHAT SHE SAW WASN'T REAL.
OH, I BEG TO DIFFER
WITH YOU, MR. WARD.
WHAT MISS SANDERS
SAW WAS HER FUTURE.
MISS SANDERS, HAVE YOU COME TO
ME FOR SOME SORT OF REASSURANCE?
WELL, YES.
OH, I WISH I COULD
GIVE YOU SOME.
PERHAPS I CAN. NOT
MUCH, BUT A LITTLE.
YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN
THAT GLIMPSE YOU HAD OF YOUR FUTURE
WILL TAKE PLACE.
TOMORROW, NEXT WEEK, NEXT
MONTH, OR YEARS FROM NOW.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU
SAYING, MR. ROARKE?
THAT I SHOULD ENJOY
LIFE WHILE I CAN?
WELL, EITHER THAT OR LIVE
EVERY MOMENT IN DREAD AND FEAR.
WHICH IS A KIND OF DEATH ITSELF.
THAT'S HIM! THAT'S THE MAN!
THAT'S THE MAN WHO'S
TRYING TO KILL ME.
MR. ROARKE, DO
SOMETHING, PLEASE.
HEY, YOU! STOP! HOLD IT!
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
SHARON, IS IT HIM? YES.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?
LOOK, YOUNG LADY. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU'RE LYING. HE'S LYING,
MR. ROARKE. CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING?
WELL, WHAT SHOULD I DO? HAVE
YOU EVER MET THIS GENTLEMAN?
SHARON: WELL, NO, BUT...
ROARKE: DO YOU KNOW OF ANY
REASON WHY HE'D WANT TO KILL YOU?
NO, BUT HE DOES. ARREST
HIM. PUT HIM IN JAIL.
(LAUGHS) OH, THIS LADY IS CRAZY.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.
MISS SANDERS, I CAN'T PUT A MAN
IN JAIL BECAUSE OF A PREMONITION.
I'M SORRY, SIR.
RIDICULOUS.
BUT HE'S GONNA KILL ME, MR. ROARKE.
AND IT WON'T BE NEXT WEEK OR NEXT MONTH.
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN
BEFORE I LEAVE THIS ISLAND.
OH, MR. ROARKE, YOU'VE GOTTA
RELEASE ME FROM MY FANTASY.
OH, THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE.
ONCE A FANTASY HAS BEEN GRANTED,
I HAVEN'T THE POWER TO RESCIND IT.
ONCE A PERSON STARTS
LIVING HIS OR HER FANTASY,
IT TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS
OWN. IT'S IRREVERSIBLE.
THEN I'M GONNA BE
KILLED, MR. ROARKE!
YOU ASKED TO SEE YOUR FUTURE.
YOU HAVE.
WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN WILL HAPPEN.
THERE IS NOTHING YOU
CAN DO TO PREVENT IT.
I'M SORRY.
(COUGHING)
MAY I JOIN YOU?
WELL, SURE. SURE.
HERE. SIT WITH ME. SIT WITH ME.
MMM-HMM. HI.
NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D
GO THROUGH WITH IT.
MAXINE, THAT WAS THE DUMBEST
THING I EVER DID IN MY LIFE.
(LAUGHING) NO ONE'S GOT
A CORNER ON DUMBNESS.
YEAH, BUT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.
ONE THING I DO KNOW.
I DON'T NEED THIS.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
GEE, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
ENJOY BEING BALD AGAIN.
I GUESS WE BOTH LEARNED SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD HURT YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU'D
BECOME INDIFFERENT.
I GOT FEELINGS TOO, MAX. THAT
DID OCCUR TO YOU, DIDN'T IT?
I GUESS I'D BETTER GO BEFORE WE
START INSULTING EACH OTHER AGAIN.
HERM, NOT THAT IT
MATTERS NOW, BUT...
YOU WEREN'T THE ONLY
ONE WHO WAS HURT.
YEAH, WAIT, WAIT A
MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE, I...
YOU'RE COMING WITH ME.
PLEASE?
(PHONE RINGING)
HELLO? SHARON.
SHARON, LISTEN. YOU'VE
GOT TO LET ME HELP.
HOW?
SHARON, LISTEN,
I'VE BEEN THINKING...
MARTIN, IT'S NO USE.
IT'S PREDESTINATION.
THE GRAVEYARD, THE
CHURCH, THE COFFIN AND...
AND THAT MAN WITH THE ROPE.
THEY ALL ADD UP TO ONE THING.
I JUST WISH I KNEW
WHERE THAT CHURCH WAS,
SO I COULD STAY AWAY FROM IT, AND
MAYBE NONE OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
LOOK, I'M DRIVING TO THE PLANE DOCK
AND I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW.
SHARON, NO!
SHARON, STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
(TIRE BURSTING)
WHY? WHY ME?
MY NAME IS EMMETT
SLATE, MISS SANDERS.
I OWN THE GAMBLING CASINO.
I'M SORRY, BUT A MILLION
DOLLARS IS A LOSS I CAN'T AFFORD.
MY BUSINESS AND MY REPUTATION,
EVERYTHING I'VE GOT IS GONE
THE MINUTE YOU PRESENT THAT
POST-DATED CHECK FOR PAYMENT.
I'LL GIVE IT BACK, JUST
PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.
NO. PLEASE, NO. NO!
NO! DAMN YOU!
(PANTING)
(GROANS)
NO!
(SHARON WHIMPERING)
NO!
OH, MARTIN.
YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH, I THINK SO.
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS HERE?
I STOPPED BY YOUR
BUNGALOW, AND I FOUND THIS.
IT TOLD ME ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW.
LET'S GET OUTTA HERE.
WOMAN: YOU DID IT AGAIN, DUKE.
YOU'RE STILL KING OF THE MARINA.
PEGGY: HERMAN.
HERM, I'VE LOOKED
EVERYWHERE FOR YOU.
(GASPS)
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?
WELL, I SENT IT
OUT TO BE CLEANED.
NO, THAT'S NOT VERY FUNNY. I...
PEGGY, YOU'RE A VERY
SWEET GIRL. AND I'M...
I'M AT LEAST 31. I'M A
LOT OFF AT LEAST 31.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS...
THAT'S YOUR FELLOW, THERE.
VERY SPECIAL, HERM.
YOU KNOW, MAX, YOUNG
GIRLS BELONG TO YOUNG MEN.
IT SERVES THEM BOTH RIGHT.
(LAUGHS)
SO YOU ARE GOING BACK TO
BOULDER VALLEY, MISS SANDERS, HUH?
YES. AND I THINK IT'S GONNA LOOK
PRETTY GOOD TO ME AFTER THIS WEEKEND.
WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS IN
YOUR POCKET, ANYWHERE WOULD LOOK GOOD.
WE MAY EVEN SETTLE
DOWN THERE. WHO KNOWS?
YES, WHO KNOWS? IT'S BETTER
TO LEAVE THE FUTURE TO ITSELF.
MUCH BETTER.
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT, MR. ROARKE,
THE FUTURE CAN BE CHANGED.
WELL, THEN, HOW DO YOU
EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT YOU SAW WAS AN
ATTEMPT ON YOUR LIFE.
AN ATTEMPT. YOU PRESUMED
THE SUCCESS OF THAT ATTEMPT.
I HOPE THE TWO OF YOU WILL TAKE
YOUR FATE IN YOUR OWN HANDS.
GOODBYE, AND GOOD LUCK.
GOODBYE. BYE-BYE.
BYE, TATTOO. GOODBYE.
MAXINE: OKAY, DON'T MOVE.
THERE YOU GO. EASY DOES IT.
MR. ROARKE, THANKS
FOR EVERYTHING.
HERM AND I ARE REALLY
GONNA MAKE IT THIS TIME.
OF THAT I AM
CERTAIN, MRS. DODGE.
OH, INCIDENTALLY, WHERE
IS YOUR FRIEND, STAN?
OH. WELL, TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MR. ROARKE,
HE'S HAVING SUCH A GOOD
TIME, HE'S DECIDED TO STAY.
OH?
ALMOST AS GOOD A TIME AS WE
HAD LAST NIGHT, RIGHT, POOPSIE?
THAT'S GOOD.
BYE, MR. ROARKE. GOODBYE.
THANK YOU.
WELL, TATTOO. THERE
GOES TWO HAPPY PEOPLE
WHO LEARNED A GOOD LESSON
ABOUT AGE THIS PAST WEEKEND.
WELL, I LEARNED SOMETHING
ABOUT AGE TOO, BOSS.
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT AGE IS NOT IMPORTANT,
UNLESS YOU ARE A CHEESE.
TOUCHE, MY FRIEND. TOUCHE.
(LAUGHING)
