Step by Step (1991–1998): Season 2, Episode 19 - Aloha: Part 2 - full transcript

[Frank]
Last week on "Step By Step.."

Honey, Carol, guess what.

We won the raffle.

A trip for the entire family
to Hawaii

including air transportation
and accommodations

at the Grand Hyatt Wailea
on Maui.

What? Oh, my God!

Yes! Oh, I can't believe it!

We're going to Hawaii!

[Frank]
J.T. was captivated
by an island beauty.

I gotta meet this girl.



The kids reached for the sky.

Guys, guess what.
They're having a sand castle

competition on Friday
and the winners get

a free helicopter tour
of the whole island.

Cody found a message
in a bottle.

Check it out.

"X marks the spot
where the treasure will be."

Oh, this is it.

This is why I was drawn
to the island.

And Dana fell in love.

I want you to marry me.

97, 98, 99, 100.

[sighs]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6--



Karen, where's mom?

Frank is still trying
to get her to relax.

This time he took her golfing.

Darn, I got in too late
last night

and I really need
to talk to her.

What's going on?

Well, Brian kind of
proposed to me.

Proposed?

You mean like marriage?

[screams]

Oh, but when is the wedding?
Where is the wedding?

Can I be your maid of honor? Oh,
have you picked your colors yet?

- I look great in peach.
- Karen, Karen, slow down.

I don't even know
if I'm gonna say yes.

Okay, I understand.
This is a big decision.

So let's look at it objectively.

He's rich, he's gorgeous

he's rich,
he treats you like a queen

and he's rich!

I think we have an answer.

You know, Frank, I really think
that this is gonna help.

You know, the fresh air,
the beautiful scenery

the mindless activity.

I- I-I think I'm finally
going to able to relax.

Ah, that's great, honey.
Uh, uh, what are you doing?

I'm just filling out
the scorecard.

Oh, oh, wrong.

There will be no scorecard
today.

But how are we
going to keep score?

We're not.

Carol, keeping score
encourages competition

which causes tension,
which defeats our purpose

which is relaxation.

We're gonna play
the Frank Lambert way.

What's that?

You buy a box of balls,
play it till you lose 'em all

and then go eat lunch.

Mm.

[chuckles]
Looks like we'll be at lunch
before you know it.

Man, what a bummer.

I spend my whole vacation
trying to meet this mystery girl

and I still can't find her.

[sighs]
I give up, Codeman.
I'm not wasting

any more time looking for her.

Wise decision, cuz.

You know, as one
of America's greatest poets

Kenny Rogers once said, "You
gotta know when to hold them

"and know when to fold them
and know when to walk away

and know when to stop quoting a
song you don't know that well."

You're right, Codeman,
I just gotta shine

on this Hawaiian girl and focus
on finding the treasure.

Good thinkin', cuz.

You know,
when a man's on a quest

havin' a love jolt
just slows you down.

I'm with you, Codeman,
but you read that poem

and we can't find the treasure

unless you see it
through an eye of an eagle.

- Yeah.
- How are we gonna do that?

[droning]

Codeman, you think?

- Yeah, buddy.
- Come on.

Hey.

Sorry, did I scare you?

Yeah. Scare me some more.

I thought you were meeting
with your banker all day.

I finished early.

So you've thought
about my proposal?

Yes.

- Do you have an answer?
- No.

No, you don't have an answer
or no is your answer?

No, I don't have an answer.

Good, then I have the rest
of the day to convince you.

- Thanks a lot, Frank.
- What? What did I do?

You were breathing
in a very annoying manner.

Well, I'm sorry.

I breathe. It-it's a habit.

Yeah, well, your habit
just cost me a stroke.

That's it, I quit.

You know, I thought I could
teach anybody how to relax.

But I was wrong.
You are hopeless.

- I am not hopeless.
- Yes, you are hopeless.

You belong in a home
for the terminally tense.

You know, the only time
I've ever seen you relax

is when we were on our honeymoon
in Jamaica.

Oh, well, it was easy
to relax in Jamaica.

All we did was stay
in our room and..

...you know.

Yeah, I know.

You know.

I know.

♪ Tall and tan
and young and lovely ♪

♪ The girl from Ipanema
goes walking ♪

♪ And when she passes
each guy she passes goes ♪

♪ Ah ♪♪

[humming]

So, uh, feeling a little
more relaxed, are we?

Oh, yeah.

This is a lot more fun
than golf.

[both chuckle]

You don't have to wear
special shoes.

Ooh.

- Mm.
- Mm. I'll tell you what?

Why don't I hit the shower
and then maybe

we can play
another round or two?

- Ooh, vixen.
- Ooh.

- Later.
- Oh.

[humming]

Oh, mom. I'm glad you're here.
I really need to talk to you.

Oh, sure.

Well, as you know,
I've been spending

a lot of time with Brian
this past week.

Well, there's nothing wrong
with a little vacation romance.

[chuckles]
Nothing at all.

- And I really like him a lot.
- Mm-hmm.

And he really likes me
a lot too.

[sighs]

In fact, he said he loves me.

Mm-hmm.

And he asked me to marry him.

Mm-hmm.

What?

What?

I know it seems sudden,
but I think I love him too.

I mean, I've never met
a guy like him before.

[sighs]
But I'm so confused.
I don't know what to do.

Well, let me unconfuse you.
The answer is no.

Mom, I was hoping
we could talk about this.

There is nothing to talk about.
You barely know this guy.

This cannot be serious.

I don't know, mom.
This looks pretty serious to me.

Oh, my God! What a rock!

But you have to take that back.

Mom, calm down,
I need your advice.

I- I am giving you my advice.
You are not getting married.

That's not advice,
that's an order.

Dana, you are 17!

You were 17 the first time
you got married.

Okay! Forget that.

The point is, Dana, you cannot
go to a tropical island

meet a guy,
spend a week with him

and then think
you're gonna marry him!

What kind of marriage
would that be?

- Yours and Frank's.
- Okay.

Uh, forget that too.

The-the-the, really,
the real point here, Dana

is that you cannot get married

because,
be-because you are grounded.

You are grounded. Grounded.

You know, mom, I came here
to get your advice

and I'm really glad I did
because now I realized

it's not up to you,
it's up to me.

And if I wanna marry Brian,
I will marry Brian.

Dude, this is totally awesome.

You bet. This is better
than readin' about sex.

[laughing]

Hey, Codeman, look over there.

[Cody]
'Whoa, dude.'

'X marks the spot
just like in the poem.'

You think
that's where the gold is?

I don't know.
Why don't we go down

and explore
the planet's surface?

[laughing]

I always wanted to say that.

Wow.

[indistinct chatter]

As you can see,
this particular castle

though British in origin,
has a bit of Moorish influence.

This, of course,
was the result of the techniques

brought back to England
after the Crusades.

Thank you.
Uh, we'll keep that in mind.

I'll be happy to answer
any structural questions

you might have.

Will you shut up?

If you keep blabbing like that,
we're gonna lose.

W- well, it's just
the more information they have

the easier
their decision will be.

He doesn't stop.

Alright, uh,
we've reached our decision.

The, uh, third place winner
goes to the Hanson family

and their version
of Buckingham Palace.

[applause]

And second place goes
to the Spelling family

and the model of their home.

[applause]

Alright, and first place and
winner of the helicopter tour

goes to
the Lambert-Foster family

and their medieval castle.

[applause]

- We won! We won!
- Yeah!

We get to go
on a helicopter ride right now!

Well, alright, go have fun!

Ah, Carol, isn't that wonderful?

Carol, honey, the kids just won.

Yeah, that's really wonderful.

[sighs]
You're still upset
about Dana, aren't you?

I just wish
I could talk to her again.

What would be different?

Well, I'd..

...pretend to be
more understanding.

Carol, when you were 17
and you told your mother

you were gonna get married,
what'd she do?

Are you kidding?

She had a fit
and said absolutely not.

And-and what did you do?

- I ran off and got married.
- Exactly.

Honey, the more a parent
pushes a kid

about a decision like this,
the more you can guarantee

the kid's gonna turn around
and do just the opposite.

Dana is a very smart young lady.

You just have to have faith

she's gonna make
the right decision.

- I hope so.
- Oh.

[instrumental music]

[helicopter whirring]

[J.T.]
Man, are you sure this is the
right beach for the treasure?

It's got to be.

You see?

"Rocks in the sea
created by lava

in groups numbered three."

And X marks the spot
where the treasure will be.

We've been digging
for over an hour

and we haven't found a thing.

Well, it's gotta be here.
Just keep diggin', bro.

I'm tellin' you,
we'll find that gold.

There it is.

What? What? Where?

Right there! Check it out.

The sunset?

- No way!
- Way!

Dude, the poem said
we'd find everlasting gold.

That's the golden treasure.

It's a spiritual thing.

Oh, man, what a rip-off!

[scoffs]
No way, dudesy. You're wrong.

Hey, when nature does something
like this, it's totally awesome.

Hey, no matter how big and bad

no matter how rich, how powerful

no matter how raging
a dude you are

you cannot create
somethin' like that.

Yeah, yeah, you're right.
It's kind of cool.

[chuckles]
Buddy.

Yeah.

This has been such a great day.

I'm so glad you came back early.

Well, I'm glad
you enjoyed yourself

but it's nothing compared to
what I've planned for tonight.

We'll drive to Lahaina--

Brian, I have to do
my schoolwork.

On your last night in Hawaii?

It's all the time I have left,
thanks to you.

Well, thanks to me,
you don't have to do it.

What are you talking about?

Dana, that's what
that diamond ring means.

Anything you want or need,
I can give you.

But I don't want you
to give me anything.

I wanna succeed on my own.

But it's just school.

I mean, what's the big deal?

I didn't go to college
and I did okay.

Yeah, but that's you.

You had a chance to do
something with your life

to fulfill a dream
and it paid off.

But now I want my chance.

But that's what I thought
I was offering you.

No, you're offering me
your dream.

But I have dreams of my own.

I wanna go to college.

I wanna see what I can do.

I'm only 17 and I have no idea
what's out there for me.

And I need to find out.

You're not gonna marry me,
are you?

No, I guess I'm not.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah.

That doesn't make it hurt
any less.

I love you.

I love you too.

This has been the best vacation
I've ever had.

[chuckles]
Me, too,
and I've been to Graceland.

My favorite part
was the helicopter ride.

Well, I had mixed feelings
about that.

That's because you barfed.

You okay, honey?

Yeah, I guess so.

You were right, mom. I'm just
not ready to get married.

Well, at least you got
a diamond ring out of it.

No, I didn't. I gave it back.

You gave back a 6 carat
solitaire in a Tiffany setting?

Oh, you're not my sister.

Uh, excuse me.

Could-could you send
somebody up with a van, please?

Oh, uh, a gentleman has arranged

other transportation
to the airport

for you and your family.

[Frank]
'A limousine?
Who would do that?'

[honking]

[instrumental music]

Okay, everybody.

Dana's friend
arranged for us to go

to the airport in a limousine.

- Wow, dude!
- Alright!

I'll tell you, Dana,
if you ever change your mind

I could easily run and catch
a guy worth $38 million.

Forty million.
He had a good week.

Ah, well, uh, Lamberts, Fosters,
limousine awaits.

- Yeah.
- Alright.

[indistinct chatter]

Okay, everybody's here.

I'll tell you, Codeman,
the only thing I regret is

I was never able to meet
that mystery girl.

Well, cuz, you know
how the French dudes say.

[speaking in French]

[chuckles]

- What does that mean?
- How do I know?

That's what
the French dudes say, cuz.

[instrumental music]

Hey, hey, what are you doin'?

Stop the limo.
My name is J.T. Lambert.

I love you.
I'll mail you a ticket.

I love you! I love you!

Dad, dad, let go of my leg!

I love you and I'll be back!
