Alright,
Marco, you were rockin' at Morocco's kids' club last week,
Sending you back there, my friend,
And, Chloe, yeah
let's get tennis and badminton back on the radar,
Sign-ups were down almost 20% last week
and that is bad-minton,
You got it, boss, I'll have badminton numbers so high
we'll need a whole new flock of birdies,
Perfect, Uh, alright, bring it in, Bring it in, guys,
First of all, uh, sorry for the late meeting,
I just want to say thank you for the fantastic job last week,
I saw nothing but smiles for miles
and that was all you guys, alright?
'You should be proud of yourselves,'
'Yeah,'
It looks like we got another full house this week
which means we are gonna be busy, busy, busy,
I want everybody to bring their A game,
That means I want the volleyballs
to have maximum volley, I want the dive masks so clear
you could spot a puffer fish a hundred feet off
and I want the scuba tanks overflowing
with the purest of oxygen,
Actually, boss, that's not very advisable
because that's a nitrogen-oxygen blend,
I'm glad somebody's paying attention,
Alright, guys, let's have another great day
of sun, sand and smiles,
'And our tropical romance series'
'mystery book club and children's literature'
are driving sales in both e-books and print
pushing next quarter's projections up 15 to 18%,
'So in conclusion, while many struggle'
'to overcome the challenges'
of today's rapidly changing market place
our company remains one of the most profitable
publishing houses in New York, Thank you,
Ah, perfect timing, Eric should be here in five minutes,
- Did you bring everything? - All here,
Your luggage and last quarter's reports,
That was one great speech, Kate,
And that's why you're going to be
our new senior VP of marketing,
Not yet I think,
Gwen's exact words were
"If you ace your presentation to Mr, Whitehall
then the promotion is yours,"
What's this?
"'Peg The Platypus,' by Kate Mitchell?"
That must've got mixed up on the shelf,
You know, just some silly thing I wrote back in college,
Children's book, Oh, I really need this vacation,
When I close my eyes, all I see are numbers,
Eric and I have been so busy lately
we barely remember what each other looks like,
And it is your one-year anniversary,
Do you think, a proposal?
I have to admit, the thought has crossed my mind,
Life is a book, I'm ready for the next chapter,
Charles, timing's perfect, series A round's about to close
so let's get this deal wrapped up,
- Hey there, - Yeah,
I'll call you from the resort,
Hi,
It's okay, I've got a teeny bit of work as well,
Well, that's why we're perfect for each other,
- We finish each other's-- - Spreadsheets,
Exactly,
I promise you, this vacation's gonna be
80% romance and 20% work,
How about we aim for 90-10 instead?
So as long as we have some time together
without any deadlines or distractions,
Exactly how I feel,
And there's a little somethin' I want to talk to you about
but it's gonna have to wait until we get to the resort,
- Car's waitin', - And so is paradise,
Oh, thank you,
Wow, it's even prettier than the brochure,
- Thank you, - Thank you,
To our vacation,
I'm not and I'm not messin' around,
Oh, hold on,
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Whoa, whoa, whoa, Whoa,
Oh,,
- That was close, - Ah,
My laptop, That would've been a disaster,
- Thank you, - All in a day's work,
Welcome,
- Shep? Is that,, - Katie Mitchell?
- Ah! - Are you kidding me?
Oh, I go by Kate now, but,,
What a surprise!
- Uh, you look-- - Like a million bucks?
I-I was gonna say taller, but that, too,
Eric, this is Michael Shepard, Shep,
Uh, we were camp counsellors together ages ago,
Eric, Strong name, Viking name,
You're a lucky man, Kate was always one of a kind,
And still is,
Oh, sorry,
Office, Sorry,
What a surprise!
What's it been, like
15 years?
Try 20, if you can believe it,
I can't, What are you doing here?
My shift started a couple of hours ago,
If I don't stick around, they'll fire me,
- You work here? - Yeah, Activities director,
Oh, well, that sounds fun, Uh, what do you,,
Direct activities, pretty much,
Coordinate entertainment packages
curate guest experiences,
Sounds like you've taken your camp-counselor skills
to the next level,
Nah, This place is way better than camp,
I rarely find myself consoling a homesick guest,
What about you? Doctor, physicist?
- Not quite, I'm in publishing, - Of course you are,
Your campfire stories were legendary,
I'd love to read one of your books,
A-actually I'm in the marketing side of publishing,
Oh, Well, that's great, too,
- Sorry, Well,, - Not a problem,
We were just catching up,
- So camp hoodlums, huh? - Three summers,
This one was an ace with a bow and arrow,
I'd like to see that,
I,,
It was a long time ago,
I'll let you guys get checked in, but I'll tell you what?
I am gonna personally oversee your vacation
make sure that everything is perfect,
- Thank you, - Well, after you, Robin Hood,
Hm,
You know, he hasn't changed all that much,
- Uh,, - Hm,
- Who was that, boss? - No one,
Just an old friend,
Yes, I have a reservation for two deluxe rooms,
I hope you enjoy your stay with us,
- Here are your keys, - Oh,
- Thank you, - Thank you,
I see you guys have ordered the VIP package,
Nicely done,
That includes a romantic candlelit dinner
just you two and the tiki torches,
Uh, we could set that up for tomorrow night if you like,
Yeah, and of course, you'll have access to all
of our most popular activities
scuba, snorkeling, parasailing, zip-lining,
All we're gonna need are a couple of pool chairs,
And the passcode to the Wi-Fi,
Maribel, those are for the El Presidentesuite
for the Van Houten event,
Van Houten, as in Gus Van Houten?
You know of him? He's hosting a reception here for the day,
Yeah, the biggest developer on the East Coast and my idol,
Legend, Yeah,
Well, maybe you'll run into him,
Maybe I will,
Alright,
We'll move the Mayan tour up to noon,
- Voila! - Perfect,
What's goin' on?
Just Shep makin' the impossible possible again,
Ah, if you're not my plucky protege
soon the student will become the master,
- I will see you at the pool, - 'Alright,'
- Well,, - Hm,
- The latest reviews are in, - Hm?
And our little resort is trending as they say,
Or is it hashtaggin'? Either way,
Check out the stars,
Customers are very happy,
- And it's mainly due to you, - Oh, thanks, Bob,
- It's a team effort, - Oh, come on,
Don't be so modest,
I've been in this business for 20 years
and reviews like these just don't come around every day,
Which makes me wonder why would you want a transfer
over to our resort down in Tahiti,
A rollin' stone, You know what they say,
"Rollin' stones got to roll,"
Ah, I just don't want to become a lifer,
Yeah, you know, the kind of people that are so settled in
they barely remember what day it is?
- Sound familiar? - I know today is Thurs,,
Friday,
Which means, Fun Friday Trivia down by the pool,
And I'm late,
- Yeah, so what do you think? - Hm,
I have to admit, this place is pretty amazing
and romantic,
Did you see the brochure on parasailing?
Yeah, Awesome,
- And not on your life, - Come on, It looks like fun,
Yeah, I know, but,,
I know, you don't have to tell me
your fear of open water again,
I warned you when we booked this resort
that some people are afraid of heights
for some it's spiders,
So what if the big, deep, scary ocean freaks me out a bit?
Well,,
Fine, Cheers to us,
Actually on vacation, Can you believe it?
- Sweetheart, there he is, - Who?
Gus Van Houten,
Yeah, I talked to my office today
and, uh, word on the street is
he's thinkin' about building a mega-resort down here,
- Oh? - Sweetheart,
You wouldn't mind if I went and said a quick hello,
- Would you? - Couldn't it wait till later?
I mean, the night is kind of perfect
and I thought that maybe we could take a stroll,
Yeah, but I may not have another opportunity to say hello and--
Fine, Fine,
Go say hi, I'll go check out the pool,
And then I can describe it to you later,
Alright, I'll be quick, I promise,
Well, look who's here,
- 'Come here,' - Just finishing up dinner,
Looks like you have a way with the animals,
Yeah, It's easier said than done,
These guys have a mind of their own,
'Pool staff are supposed to put them away,'
- A little help? - Alright,
Oh, come here, come here, Oh, I got you,
Oh, don't feel bad,
'Just because you're not a mythical creature'
doesn't mean you're not as important
as all the other super-large pool animals
especially, Mr, Unicorn over there
with his inflated ego, Don't feel bad,
Sounds like the beginning of a pretty cute story,
Well, I, uh, I better get back,
Hey, tomorrow,,
If you guys are looking for something a little more exciting
than lounging poolside, just say the word,
I know a guy who'll set you up,
A very, very wise man once said
"If you say no to adventure, you say no to life,"
- Oh, yeah? Who said that? - I did,
Doesn't make it any less true,
- Goodnight, - 'Yeah,'
Alright,
Hey, honey, I'd like you to meet Mr, Van Houten,
Gus, please,
- Terrific to meet you, Kate, - You as well,
You have excellent taste in resorts,
You picked the future's second best resort in the area,
I'm building a new one up the coast,
Well, if this place is gonna be second best
you have your work cut out for you
but something tells me you're up to the task,
Well, I hope so, It's a pleasure meeting both of you,
- You two have a good night, - Pleasure to meet you,
It turns out we've got, like, 40 friends in common
back in the States, Ah, and get this,
He invited me to play golf with him tomorrow,
Wow, that's great,
What about hanging by the pool?
I thought we were going to obsess
of a work together 90-10, remember?
I know, but it's Gus Van Houten,
I got his ear for four solid hours,
This is a huge opportunity,
Fine, You go have fun, I will keep myself busy,
I've got plenty of work to do, anyway,
Deal,
Alright, I'm gonna go pay the bill,
Okay,
Come here, unicorn,
Buenos dias,
Well, at least I've got you, Jorge,
Buenos dias,
Let's see,
Hey, Sally, Yeah, It's me,
Did we get the quarterly projections
on the mystery line yet?
I need to fold it into my presentation,
'It's the first day of your vacation,'
'Shouldn't you be vacationing?'
As soon as Eric gets back from golf,
I'll have plenty of time,,
Oh, no, Oh, no, no, no, Sally, I'll call you back,
Oh, no, no, no, No, no, no,
Ah, Ah,
Say, maybe the wind gods are trying to tell you something,
Yeah, what? To squint at my laptop in the sun?
To let it go, You're a business woman,
Isn't the first rule, work smarter and not harder?
Shep, I have a presentation when I get back
and a promotion that hangs in the balance,
So the point is that I need to--
To relax,
Before you blow a gasket,,
,,,sit,
Alright, I'll tell you what?
You e-mail the file to the business office
I'll have this all printed off by the time we get back,
Okay, Wait, Get back from where?
I'm leading a guided hike, You and Eric should come along,
Come on, It's just a quick little jaunt through the jungle,
- Might even see an iguana, - Mm-hmm,
- Besides, it'll take,, - Oh,
It'll take time to get all these pages to be printed,
Where's your sense of adventure?
I left it at camp with my bow and arrow,
And Eric's golfin' all morning,
Truth is, you don't look like you're having a lot of fun,
A hike, huh?
Well, it's either that
or making conversation with the parrot,
He's probably just gonna keep repeating himself,
Buenos dias,
'Alright, guys, Stay close, Almost at the top,'
Should have a lovely view of the resort from up there,
And if we're lucky, we might even see some Mayan ruins,
Tony, how you doin'? Alright, Good, bro,
Tom, Brenda, Look good, guys, Hang in there,
Just a quick little jaunt through the jungle, huh?
Did I say quick little?
Ah, it's worth the effort, trust me,
Are anacondas local to the area?
- No, - 'The blue-color bird,,'
'You wanna try leading for a while?'
Seem to recall you having some experience in that department,
Oh, I only lead hikes when the mosquitos are smaller,
Once they get to be grapefruit size
I'm out of my league,
Alright, well, fill me in, Catch me up,
Take your mind off all those snakes,
You still writing those stories?
No, although, this hike does have all the makings
of an ill-fated adventure story,
- Ah, haven't lost a guest yet, - Well, the day is young,
So activities director, huh?
Beaches, fruity drinks, sunshine, Seems really rough,
Oh, that's not fair, You forgot tanning,
It's like you are on a permanent vacation,
So different than my world,
Oh, I know a thing or two about your world,
Actually, it's paradise,
'You know, I'm a little surprised'
that you ended up in marketing,
Last I recall, you were headed off to college
to study creative writing,
I don't think I've ever met anyone
with a gift for story-telling than you have,
- 'Did you ever even pursue it?' - I wanted to, yeah,
But I knew I had to survive in the real world,
My rational side took over and got an MBA instead
but I have a secret plan,
I took my first job in a publishing house
thinking I'd be like a little mole
and eventually burrow my way over to the creative side,
- But? - But I hit a wall,
Took a wrong turn and popped up in the marketing department,
See, you can't even help yourself,
Somehow your tale of woe turned into a cute little story
about a mole, evidence that you should be writing,
Good job, everyone, We have reached the turnaround point,
Rest up, relax, rehydrate
though the way back is a lot zippier,
This is awesome!
- Zippier? How? - You'll see, Uh,,
I can't believe you talked me into this,
- Tell me you're joking, - It's the fastest way down,
Well, aside from falling, which seems like
a very strong possibility,
I'm really not comfortable with this,
Well, that's one of the things that I specialize in
helping guests move beyond their fears
stepping outside of their comfort zones
but only at their own pace,
Hurtling through the air 100 feet above the ground
is way outside of my comfort zone,
It's not a 100 feet,
Yeah, that's pretty high, Look, it's incredibly safe,
The equipment is thoroughly tested,
The only real danger here
is missing out on the experience of a lifetime,
- I go when I'm ready, - Of course,
- No pushing, No shoving, - No, Got it,
- No, "Let's get going," - Wouldn't dream of it,
- I choose when to jump, - Copy that,
Keep breathing, You'll be fine,
You're harnessed in and safe! Have fun!
I'm not having fun!
'Ah!'
- 'Whoo-hoo!' - Oh, yeah!
Oh, Oh, Oh,
Oh! Wow!
- Has anyone ever fallen? - Never, senora,
I should've asked that off the top,
Whoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!
Ah!
Never gets old,
It's awesome, right?
'Kate, that's crazy, You did what?'
Zip-lining, I mean, I got roped into it,
Well, pardon the pun, but I may as well admit
it did help take my mind off my lonely day,
W-what? No Eric?
Oh, somebody's at the door,
Gotta go, Bye,
Shep! What's up?
You clean up nice,
Uh, your tiki dinner awaits,
I don't normally handle these things myself
but after today, I felt I owed it to you,
Thank you,
Eric is already there,
Where is it?
Just follow the red petal road,
Eric?
- 'There you are,' - Hi, honey,
Wow, you look gorgeous,
- Ah! - 'Oh,'
- Oh, - Oh,
- Geez, - Oh, Hey, hey, Hey!
- Yeah, we're not eating here, - He's huge,
'I really am sorry,'
From time-to-time we have uninvited visitors
at the resort,
It's kind of the downside of being next to the jungle,
Yeah, a bit unexpected for a, uh, 5-star resort,
Oh, well, it's okay,
The green fellow was kind of cute,
Just surprised me a little,
How about we postpone your tiki dinner
and you dine here tonight, instead?
Sounds great,
- Ah, terrific dinner, - Mm,
Tonight is turning out okay
despite the mud
and the iguanas,
The zip-lining was a lot more fun
than I thought it was gonna be,
One thing I will say for him,
Shep definitely got me out of my routine,
Yeah, well, so is getting the flu
but we don't wanna make it a habit,
Well, I'm just glad we're both here now,
I believe there was something special
you wanted to chat about?
Alright, alright,
So nice to see all these smiling faces out here tonight,
'You guys havin' a good time?'
I'll take that as a yes,
Now, we're pretty big on romance
here at the resort, and I think we all know
that one of the most romantic things
that you can do for your significant other
is listen when they speak,
So we're gonna find out how well
some of our couples know each other
with a little game we like to call
The Cancun Couples' Challenge,
I'm gonna need three couples to volunteer from the audience,
Who wants to play?
You guys in the back, get up here, You're at table one,
Alright, anybody else? Anybo,, There you go,
I like your spirit, You two, table number two,
Alright, we need one more lucky pair, Who's it gonna be?
Who's it gonna be? Come on, anybody, Come on,
Hey, how about you guys?
- Us? - Uh-uh,
Come on, You guys will nail this,
This audience is like a tour of mismatched socks,
You can't lose, Besides, winner gets a great prize,
Why not? We're in,
I was hoping to get a little alone time,
Alright, heading into the final round,
We actually have ourselves a pretty tight race here,
So let's go to Kate,
For ten points,
What was Eric's first car?
Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce,
'Correct,'
Let's move over to Eric now,
Eric, back in high school
what was Kate's dream job?
Yeah, that's easy, The one she's about to get,
Head of marketing in a major publishing company,
If memory serves, I think that may be incorrect,
'Kate, your answer,'
'Aw,'
'Oh, Sorry, guys,'
Thanks for playing, though, Angela and Robert,
'Let's see if you guys can put this thing away,'
Yeah, I'm sorry, I had a brain freeze,
I knew about the whole children's-book thing,
It's "Wally And The Wombat," right?
"Peg The Platypus,"
Though, actually, it's about people
types of people, really, and,,
You know what, never mind, It's getting late,
Yeah, we've got a big day tomorrow,
- What do you mean? - Well,
I saved the best news for dessert,
Gus invited us out on his yacht tomorrow,
Head up to Briar's Landing,
It's supposed to be the nicest beaches on the coast
and it's where he's building his new resort,
But you know I hate boats,
You know that the open water scares me,
Yeah, it's just a quick little trip,
- Huh, - Look, it's got a motor,
It's big, It's like a cruise ship, it's not gonna sink,
Eric, I've been patient and supportive,
I thought we might finally get some alone time together,
That's the best part, He's got a private beach,
We're his only guests,
It's just gonna be us, So what do you say?
- Okay, I'll think about it, - Great,
Yeah, I'm gonna leave a note for Gus at the front desk, okay?
- Hey, Sally, - So are you wearing a ring yet?
Well, I think Eric might've been ready
to pop the question tonight, but an iguana had another idea,
- A what now? - Uh, never mind,
'Well, cheer up,'
Tomorrow's a whole new day with new adventures,
Yeah, that hopefully don't involve any shipwrecks,
Huh, And maybe even some alone time with Eric,
Alright, okay, Talk to you later,
Wow, what a beautiful day, huh?
What happened
to the cruise ship with a motor?
I, I don't know,
Ah, the famous Kate again,
From what Eric tells me on the golf course
you're one of publishing's rising talents,
Oh, no doubt, things get exaggerated on the golf course,
Well, I brought the sail boat,
It's a magnificent day to go sailing,
We've got some very nice swells,
Oh, Oh, no!
I think we have our first casualty,
It's alright, We've got a good strong wind,
We'll plough through this chop, no problem,
You sure the ocean isn't too rough today?
Too rough? No such thing,
Of course, I did win the Nautica Cup
with a hurricane at my back
pushing me across the finish line,
Welcome aboard,
I wasn't sure about this and now that it's a sail boat,,
Uh, sweetheart, less than an hour on the water
we'll spend a couple of hours on the beach
we'll be home by dinner, Alright?
Come on,
Uh,,
Um,,
You know, I'm gonna stay here,
Sailing's really not my thing,
- Everything okay? - Yes, Gus,
It's just I'm not great on the water
and I've got some work to do, anyway,
Hey, if you feel that strongly about it
I'll stay here if you want,
No, I'll be fine,
I can curl up on the pool chair with my computer,
Besides, there's nothing more romantic
than when a man returns from the sea, right?
I'll have Eric back to you safe and sound by sunset,
Alright, Well, remember, our dinner tonight,
I've got somethin' I wanna discuss with you,
Be safe,
Ah,
So the key is, no matter what the request
you always gotta have a solution,
For example, if the guest wants to relax?
- Yoga, - Mm-hmm,
Or a massage,
- Adrenaline rush, - Oh, parasailing,
Or shark-diving,
- The limbo, - Limbo? Sure,
Always gets my blood pumpin',
- Oh, well, well, well, - Hi,
Wasn't expecting to see you here today, Are you lost?
Actually, I'm looking for something to do,
Oh? Well, then you came to the right guy,
What's your fancy, uh, ping-pong?
No, too juvenile,
- Dance cardio? - Ha-ha, Too sweaty,
Bungee jumping? Bad-ass, right?
Well, I thought you had plans today,
Well, I was supposed to go sailing with Eric
but I backed out,
I know it's silly, but I have this fear--
Fear of open water, yeah, I remember,
It's not silly at all, Surprised he would even suggest it,
I know what you're gonna do,
Follow me,
Why do I not like the sound of that? Where are you taking me?
You're not gonna find out just standing there, Let's go,
- I don't think I can do this, - You're doing great,
'A few baby steps and before you know, you'll be sprinting,'
Can we take a couple of baby steps backwards?
Just follow along and watch what I do,
At any point, you wanna head in
'for a couple of umbrella drinks, you just say the word,'
Really?
Um, is that a, a shark?
Uh, that is a teenager with a snorkel,
'Well, you're pretty cute,'
Alright,
Just pop up, keep your knees bent
oar in the water, bingo,
Oh! Oh,
- I'm up! - I'm right here with you,
Oh, God, I'm up!
- 'There you go, good,' - Okay,
Actually, this is really cool,
Right? You want to race?
At this point
I would settle for remaining upright,
You know, I'm not actually even really that freaked out,
Granted, I'm close to the shore,
I'm not exactly in the open water,
Uh, turn around,
- Oh, - How do you feel?
Actually,,
,,,great,
High five,
- Yeah, - Oh, uh, ah!
Oh, oh, ho!
Oh, I can,,
- I can stand here, - Yeah,
You knew that,
Ah,
We call it a day?
I'm getting back up,
Ooh-ooh-whee!
Whoo-hoo!
'The seas have calmed down,'
It's a shame Kate couldn't come along,
Yeah, she's always had a fear of the open water,
Yeah, lack of sea legs aside
she sure seems like a keeper,
Yeah, she's great,
She seems as driven as you are,
'How long have you two been together?'
About a year now,
Imagine that,
Now, there are a lot of oysters in these waters,
They all look the same on the outside,
Now, the trick is to find that one in a thousand
that's holding a pearl,
That was fantastic, Thank you,
Forget about baby steps, you're ready to turn pro,
I'm really proud of you, Today went well,
Wish I could say that about my vacation,
Here I thought Eric and I were going to have
a romantic getaway with a little work on the side,
Now I see I got that reversed,
Well, maybe you look at it as a chance to have some fun,
You know, explore,
Great things happen when you step outside your comfort zone,
What about you?
You don't exactly seem challenged here,
- 'Didn't you ever want more?' - I like what I do,
I definitely see the appeal of this place,
Mm-hmm,
All my problems just seem to be floating away,
If you think you feel good after an hour of sunshine
on a paddle board
wait till you see what I got planned next,
This is awesome!
I haven't ridden horses since
well, summer camp,
Apparently, you still remember how to drive one,
Don't you have to be back at work?
Yeah, my shift ended an hour ago,
And I knew if left to your own devices
you'd probably wind up back at the pool
with your face buried in a pile of paperwork,
Besides, I'm on permanent vacation, right?
Look, I'm sorry about what I said earlier,,
,,,about your job,
I wasn't meaning to imply you weren't successful,
It's just, you always talked about
pursuing politics or law
affecting change in the world,
I make people smile, I'd say that counts,
And I get to do it in some of the most beautiful places
in the world, I'd call that success,
Well, I guess it depends a little on your definition,
Would you consider yourself successful?
Sure, I mean, I have a very good job,
I can't complain,
It doesn't bother you that you're not writing?
Sometimes, It's too late now,
Made the mistake of being too good at my job,
- 'Sealed my fate,' - Hm,
Guess some dreams are meant to stay dreams,
Well, some weren't,
'What's really holding you back?'
What if I'm not very good?
What if you are?
Never find out unless you try,
By the way,,
,,,how'd you remember my fear for open water?
Well, sailing was pretty much a daily activity at camp,
I remember you setting foot on a boat
exactly zero times,
I remember a lot of things from those days,
So do I,
And to be honest, I can't think of a time since
that has really rivaled them,
Well, I consider that a challenge,
- You up for a little race? - Are you serious?
Come on, we used to race all the time at camp,
Well, I did, but I'd call what you did
holding on to the saddle for dear life,
Oh, right,
That's another thing I remember about you,
You are just the teensiest bit competitive,
I am not
but I bet I could beat you to the end of the beach,
Alright, you're on, On three,
One, two, three!
Hey! Come on!
- You're having fun yet? - Whoo!
I'll take that as a yes!
It's absolutely amazing,
Looked at some of the other resorts in the area,
The growth potential in this market is enormous,
It's my thinking, too, I've had a house here for years,
It's the best beach in the area, Hidden jewel,
The best site for a luxury resort
is off the beaten path,
And the best way to promote it is not to,
- Then people seek it out, - Smart,
Well, they don't teach you that at the seminars,
Well, generally
I don't share my thinking with just anyone
but I do like helping out the next generation when I can,
You remind me of a younger me, hungry,
Well, I appreciate the look behind the curtain,
And I appreciate a fast learner,
Maybe you can play a role in all this,
'Thank you for the lift,'
No problem,
'I don't see Gus' boat,'
Well, I guess they're not back yet,
I don't have any messages from him,
I hope everything is alright,
Ah, cell service can be a little dodgy out there,
I'm happy to wait,
Sure they'll be back soon,
In the meantime, have you seen the plaza?
- No, - Well,,
You can't leave Mexico without experiencing
la cultura local,
You up for it, muchacha?
Si, senor,
Yeah,
You totally should've bought that T-shirt,
It had your name written all over it,
This is my favorite fountain in all of Cancun,
A fountain connoisseur? Who knew?
Well, it's beautiful,
- Very peaceful, - A little fact,
The Mayans were the principal architects of running water,
Not only did they master fountains, but also toilets,
I did not know that,
Well, I am a fountain of information,
Oh,
But that's not why I like this one,
- You have a peso? - I should,
Actually, do you have two?
Alright, legend has it, toss a coin into the fountain
any wish you make will come true, You ready?
I'm not sure how trustworthy the legend is,
Thrown enough for a down payment on a house in here,
Still waitin' on those wishes,
Oh, uh, it's Eric, Excuse me a second,
Um, look at that, I guess the wishes do come true,
Hey, honey, Where are you?
'I'm actually still out here,'
Oh, man, this place is beautiful,
'Listen, change of plans,'
'Gus wants me to stay here till tomorrow,'
The architect's gonna be here in the morning
and he wants me to be a part of the meeting,
But what about our romantic evening?
I mean, everything's already being prepared,
It's gonna be such a beautiful night,
Look, I can postpone it, I'll call Shep,
Look, if I can get in on this
this could be the opportunity of a lifetime,
What about our vacation of a lifetime?
Alright, wasn't it you saying this was gonna be
a little bit of a working vacation?
Yeah, I did, but I meant a few hours here or there
not separate vacations,
I mean, this was supposed to be about us,
Look, I'll be back tomorrow, We got the rest of the week,
- 'I'll call you later,' - Okay, Bye,
Oh,,
Is everything alright?
They're staying over,
Meeting some architect, apparently,
Eric said it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
- Sorry, - Yeah, so am I,
It's a shame, they'll have already started preparing
your lobster dinner,
Well, maybe it doesn't have to go to waste,
'Mm, it's good,'
'So tell me'
how did you end up in this place?
Nah, It's a long sordid tale,
And it seems like I have nothing but time
so spill it,
Uh, well, after college, I went to law school,
So you did go to law school,
What happened? Too stuffy?
Traded in your textbooks for a surf board?
No, The opposite, actually,
- Graduated with honors, - Oh,
Got a job as an associate at a big firm
and, uh, they handed me all these divorce cases
which, at first I thought was great, you know
as an opportunity to help people
get out of unhappy situations, move on with their lives,
And?
And figured out pretty quickly
that wasn't what it was at all,
I had to look at everything as if it had a price tag,
One day, walked out of court
hopped into a cab to the airport
'took the first flight out of town,'
Landed in Ixtapa,
The second I got off the plane, my heart rate slowed
lungs filled with fresh air, I was like a different person,
So when I got home, I applied to some resorts
got a job, came back,
Kinda been bouncin' around ever since,
Where are you gonna bounce to next?
Well, still waitin' to hear, but possibly, Tahiti,
Don't you ever wanna put down roots somewhere?
Yeah, of course, And I plan to,
Um, I wanna settle down, have a family,,
,,,one day,
But right now I got a pretty great life,
As long as you don't eat like this every day,
I could, I could put on some serious pounds if I did,
Oh, but we have an antidote for that,
- Oh, no way, - Oh, yes way,
'Come on, join in the fun,'
There is no better way in the world
to forget about things,
I'll look horrible doing these dances,
Not as horrible as me, Trust me,
Besides, if everyone's doing it, there's no one watching you,
Oh, no, no, no,,
Antonio,
Here we go,
There you go, You're a natural,
Improvising, I love it,
- See, it's infectious, - Okay, maybe a little,
- Okay, how do I look? - Horrible, How do I look?
Horrible,
Good, We're doin' it right,
Whoo! It was amazing!
Hey, thank you,
- That was kind of fun, - Not bad,
Oh, um,,
This is an unexpected change of pace,
Guess we better go with the flow,
It'd be kind of rude not to,
No choice, really,
Thanks for trying to cheer me up today,
Did it work?
Actually, yeah, I, uh, didn't think about work once,
Now, how did that feel?
Really good,
Um, I should work on schedules for tomorrow,
No inflatable-animal rodeo tonight?
No, they're asleep for the evening,
What about you? Back to the spreadsheets?
- I don't think so, - Really?
No, I think I'm just gonna take in the night air tonight,
Well, what has gotten into you?
Well, I am on vacation,
- Goodnight, - Goodnight,
- Hey, Sally, what's up? - Hey, Kate, sorry,
The outside world intrudes,
Gwen is going crazy,
And not like fun crazy, Crazy, crazy,
Did her son dent the Jaguar again?
'Worse, Gwen wants to see your presentation'
'in advance at the Whitehall meeting,'
Oh, but she gave me all week to finish it,
I know, but you know Gwen,
Well, tell her I'll have it to her on schedule as promised,
What's gotten into you? Kate, your promotion is at stake,
Yeah, well, I am on vacation,
Don't worry, One way or another, I'll get it in,
I hope you know what you're doing,
- Say hi to Eric, - I will if I see him,
- Huh? - 'Oh, sorry, Sal,'
Way too much to explain right now
and I've got some relaxing to do,
'What do you think of the plan?'
Oh, world-class resort
perfect location,
So you can see the potential?
Yeah, absolutely,
Hey, I really appreciate you letting me tag along on this,
- Gus, - It's okay,
I've already made a call to my New York office,
I think we could use someone like you on this project,
I'd be honored, I've,,
I've learned more in the last 24 hours
than I have in the last year at the firm,
Thank you, Maria,
We can talk on our way back,
- Cheers, - Cheers,
♪ Pam pa-ra pam-pam pam pam pam pam ♪
Alright, troops, fall in,
We are looking for sand,
What kind of sand? Castle-building sand,
That means not too wet, not too dry, just right
especially if we're gonna build our castles
as high as the trees,
- Aw! - No? Higher?
With the clouds, the moon?
Alright, go, Your stuff is all waiting for you,
Go, go, go, go, go, go,
Well, if it isn't the Pied Piper of Cancun,
I see you haven't lost your touch,
Yeah, half our day-care staff
is down with the flu,
- 'I said I'd pitch in,' - Lucky kids,
Oh, I'm trying, It's a handful, though,
'I don't suppose you'd want to help out,'
Parents don't arrive for a while,
I could use a Ginger Rogers
to my Fred Astaire,
Well, thank you, but it's been a while
since I've spent time around kids,
Come on, You mastered stand-up paddle yesterday,
I think you could handle
a couple of adorable little children,
Well, they are adorable, but I've seen you dance,
You're no Fred Astaire, Huh?
Ouch,
That is a nice pile of sand,
Pile of sand?
Don't be fooled by the exterior
underneath my 300 subterranean floors
of cutting-edge architecture,
Oh, whoa, whoa,
Now, I think we're losing 'em,
- 'Uh,,' - Thoughts?
A g-giant butterfly net? I mean, I don't know,
Tell 'em one of your jokes, that should have them
asleep in no time,
Actually, that's not a bad idea,
Guys, guys, guys, Listen up,
I have a special treat for you,
Under that umbrella
someone is going to tell you a story,
Yay!
What, me?
- Nah-uh, Not a chance, - Yep,
Ah, alright,
So,,
,,,Kate is going to tell you a story,
And not just any old story,
I'm talkin' about the greatest story
you've ever heard in your lives,
- No pressure, - Thank you,
I'm gonna pretend that wasn't sarcastic,
Hm,
Okay then, Um,,
Well, once upon a time
there was a platypus named Peg,
Now, as you all know, a platypus is really two things,
They can swim like a duck
or they can scamper around like an otter,
And one day
when Peg was gazing forlornly
at her reflection in the water
she wondered, What was she?
'Should she walk single file with the duckies'
or should she jump and play like the otters?
Hm?
So have you and Kate given much thought to the future?
Ah, not really, Too focused on the present, I guess,
Didn't I hear you say you had some big news
to talk over with her?
Yeah, there's a, uh, lot downtown,
Prime development thing,
I'mma ask her to go in on it with me
you know, so she has a stake in something,
Eric, let me give you another piece of unsolicited advice,
A woman doesn't want a man to be her business partner,
She wants someone she can grow old with,
That's the plan, In due time,
Marriage looks good in business,
'All my partners are married,'
It says that a man has arrived,
Well, maybe marriage is in the future,
You'd do well to let your sails out sooner than later
'if you want to win the race,'
And so after saving Platypus City
her adventure complete, Peg realized
that no matter what all the other animals said
she could be like a duck when she wanted
or an otter at times
or whatever she wanted to be,
And that is,,,the end,
Still got it,
Seriously, You need to write that story down,
When you go back to New York, you march into your boss' office
you slam it down on her desk, kablam!
- That's all I say? Kablam? - I don't know,
Maybe something more eloquent, You're the writer,
You'll figure it out, Seriously,
Kate, you're really good,
Exceptional,
You should be writing and you know it,
That's the pot calling the kettle black,
You say you wanna settle down one day
'have a home and a family,'
Well, how's that gonna happen when you keep skipping around
from place to place?
'Heh-heh, This is a fantasy world,'
You're not pursuing life,
You're hiding from it,
Look, I tried the real world, I'm not going back to it,
Okay, So maybe divorce law was a bad fit,
- Mm-hmm, - You just throw in the towel?
I mean, what about practicing family law?
Bringing people together is what you do best,
I mean, look at how good you are with the kids,
It's always been that way,
- Kate, I-- - Mm, mm,,
Someone wise once told me
people need to get outside of their comfort zones,
- Hi, boss, - Well, you look alive,
Thank you,
So I just got done highlighting
all the racquet sports in the in-room menu
and I'm expecting a lot of responses,
Perfect, Thank you,
So Tahiti, that's awesome, I really hope you get that,
- It's a beautiful resort, - So what, one year there?
And then what's next on the Shep tour around the world?
I don't know,
I don't really think that far ahead,
I just couldn't do that,
I don't know, just moving around everywhere
and not being with friends and family,
I just feel like I need to be around the people that love me,
But that's just me and,,
You have your friend Kate here, That must be nice,
What's the story with you two?
Um, there's no story, Just old friends,
- Camp counselors, right? - That's right, Yeah,
That must've been a whole lot of fun,
It was, Maybe some of the best summers in my life,
Hey,
Back at work?
You might say that,
I am working on an old friend,
Peg,
It's very cute,
I forgot how much fun this was,
- Eric's not back yet? - No, Not yet,
- Why? - Well,,
I mean, I hate to interrupt your flow
but if you're just hangin' out
you wanna come on a little adventure
that most tourists never get to see?
Sure,
How are you feelin'? Doin' okay with this?
What? This little water?
Walk in the park,
You said some pretty tough things to me earlier
about avoiding reality,
I know, a-and I,,
Probably right, a lot of it,
Much as I hate to admit it,
There's actually a little more to the reason that I left law
to work in the resorts,
- I was engaged for a while, - Oh,
Back when I was a divorce attorney
I would look at all these feuding couples
and I would wonder how they could
possibly have missed the signs,,
,,,and I vowed that it would not be me,
And then one day my fianceewalked out,
Never saw it comin',
I had gotten so wrapped up in my work and what I was doing
that I had become the person I swore I never would,
So resort life offered a way to escape?
I guess if,,,you never get close to anyone
you never get hurt again?
We're here,
This is us,
Uh, you wanna clue me in as to what's down there?
I haven't steered you wrong yet, have I?
- Ladies first, - No, No,
Alright,
It's slippery, Watch your step,
Okay,
'Oh, Wow,'
- Stunning, - It's called a cenote,
So this whole area rests on a limestone shelf,
When it rains, the water trickles through the soil
and occasionally, the ground gives way
leaving this,
- Wow, - Pretty magical, huh?
'I don't think I can even see the bottom,'
Probably not,
Some cenotes are only inches deep
but others go hundreds of feet straight down,
Just had to mention it, didn't you?
Close your eyes, Listen,
You can hear the water trickling in from the adjacent cavern,
It's peaceful,
You know what's funny?
When I close my eyes, I don't
I don't see numbers anymore,
No? What do you see?
You,
You're kind of a cenote yourself,
Something about in-depths,
Yeah? You think so?
Yeah,
- Oh! - Whoa, Ho-ho-ho,
It's just a harmless little bat,
Uh, you could have at least warned me,
Well, I could have,
Then you wouldn't have come down here
to see all this,
Very funny and true,
Um, almost forgot,
Got you a little going-away gift from the market,
The locals believe
that the beads will help you find your way if you're lost,
It's beautiful, Thank you,
'Aha,'
Just a little somethin'
to remember me by,
I don't think I'll need a bracelet to remind me of you,
It's Eric,
The boat, It's pulling into the harbor,
Yeah,
I think that's Eric,
Shep, um, I,,
Thank you for today,
Thank you for everything,
Well, it's my job to make sure that all the guests are happy,
Kate! Sweetheart!
Hey,
So good to see your face,
I'm sorry that this turned into an overnight thing,
- Had I known, I-- - It's okay,
I just hope your time with Gus was worthwhile,
It was amazing, but enough about the trip,
Details later, First, you and me,
I know this is supposed to be our romantic trip
and I wanna make it up to you, so I've been doing some thinking
about us and our future and,,
How about we have that romantic dinner tonight
just the two of us?
Great, I'll call Shep and have him arrange it,
He's been working so hard lately,
Let's not ask him to do anything else,
It's part of his job, he'll be fine,
Come on, let's go,
'Kate, the trip was amazing,'
It's time to celebrate,
Well, uh, forgot the ice
but warm champagne renders more bubbles,
Hm, Yeah,
To us,
With things lining up so perfectly
our careers on the rise, upcoming matching promotions
it's time to talk about the future,
Our future,
Time to let my sails out,
What I meant to say is,,
Kate, will you marry me?
♪ You don't know what you're getting into ♪
♪ If you want something new with me,, ♪
- Ah, - Kate? Heh,
I just,,
I mean, I did sort of expect that,
Now that it's here,,
♪ I wanna know your heart,, ♪
- Wow, - Wow,
So that's a yes?
I think I just need a little time
to clear my head,
Okay, I know it's a lot,,
,,,but I want you to know,,
,,,there is no other woman in this world
that is better for me than you,
♪ I was something new ♪
You know, I-I can't believe it,
I'm gonna be this guy's right-hand man,
Right there with him through the entire process,
I mean, from planning to construction,
Sorry, I'm, I'm doin' it again, Uh,,
So have you had a chance to think
about what we discussed last night?
Honestly, it's all I can think about,
Good, Take your time,
I've got to run into town and take care of something
and maybe when I get back
we can put both our minds to rest,
Hey, boss, Got you message, Everything alright?
Hey, Shep, More than alright,
I got an e-mail today, About you,
- From head office? - You betcha,
Big news, Oh, I'll let you read it yourself,
I don't want to spoil the surprise,
You got Tahiti,
'You obviously made a big impression'
on the powers that be,
Wow, Tahiti,
It's great,
You don't seem too thrilled,
Uh, no, no, no, I am,
It's great, Thank you,
It was all you,
By the way, I heard about your friend and her fella,
They got engaged last night at dinner,
'That's pretty exciting news,'
Uh, yeah, Yeah, super-exciting,
Anyway, I know it's your day off, so go relax,
And congrats on the Tahiti thing,
- Thank you, - 'Hey, Shep, last thing,'
Any ideas about when you might be leaving us?
Uh, I think as soon as possible,
- Hey, Sally, - Kate, what's going on?
- Gwen is going ballistic, - About my presentation?
I shall have everything, I promised,
Are you alright?
Yesterday you seemed terrific,
Today not so much,
It's just been kind of an unusual vacation,
Oh, my gosh, Did Eric propose?
Yes, actually, he did,
- Last night, - 'Hey, that's fantastic!'
What did I tell you? Congratulations!
How does it feel?
The weird thing is,,
,,,I'm not sure,
Not sure about what? About the proposal?
I'm not sure about anything, actually,
I mean, it's just happening so fast,
Come on, honey, you're thinking too much,
How's that?
'Kate, you're living'
'a romance novel,'
You should be enjoying all this,
Then why do I feel so confused?
Like,, I'll call you back,
Shep?
Kate? What are you doin' here?
Hey, sorry to just burst in,
I,,,wasn't sure if this is where you live
but someone pointed me in this direction,
Oh, Yeah, this is it,
Home sweet home,
For a little while, anyway,
My transfer came through, I'm goin' to Tahiti,
Oh, Great,
Guess all those coins in the fountain
finally worked,
Yeah, some of them at least,
Congratulations on the engagement, I just heard,
I didn't say yes yet,
Oh, I thought that was what you wanted,
I do, Or did,
I don't know,
I thought I had everything figured out,
The lifestyle, the career, the guy,
I thought I was happy
but this week
I realized, uh,,
I guess I was just too busy to see I wasn't,
Kate, people come here on vacation
and suddenly they see their entire world
in a different light, but you said it yourself
this is fantasy,
It's not real,
Eric seems like a great guy,
If you say no, you might be throwing away something great,
You seem surprised,
Just not what I was expecting to hear,
Guess,,,I don't know what I was expecting to hear,
Vacations are an escape,
That's all this was,
Well, what about you?
You escaped your life a long time ago,
Now you've built this wall so tightly around yourself
that you don't let anyone in,
But, Shep, some people want in,
You and me got caught up in the moment,
The thing about moments is,,
,,,they pass,
I gotta,,,do some packing,
Well, I better leave you to it,
It's your day off, Pump the breaks a little,
You already got the promotion,
Hardest working man in the resorts game,
I'm just leaving some notes for you,
- Not that you need them, - Thanks, boss,
Uh, hey, Bob, is it okay if today is my last day?
I got you covered, No problem,
You're a class act, Shep,
I don't know what we're gonna do without you,
Ah, you'll be just fine, Chloe may be half my height
but she's twice as smart and three times as charming,
Okay, if I stay here another minute, I'm gonna start bawling
so adios,Shep, You're the best,
You are,
Hey, you keep thinkin' outside the box like you do
you'll be running the show in no time,
You sure about this?
Ah, I kind of have a knack for knowing
when it's time to go, It's time,
Did I ever tell you what brought me down here so many years ago?
Let me guess, To forget a girl?
Please, Job opportunity,
To forget a girl,
Look, I get it,
A rolling stone has to roll and all that jazz,
'And whatever it is that you're searching for'
I really hope that you find it,
'But remember that occasionally you should stop'
to read the signs along the way,
Meaning?
Well, take it for an old lifer,
'Sometimes you try so hard to find that one thing'
that's gonna make you happy that you miss it
when it lands right on your lap,
'Just think about it,'
Hi, Kate, Do you have time to tell us another story now?
Um,,
You know what? Sure, I think I can manage something,
You guys have a seat,
Let's see, Let me think,
Hm,
Hm, Okay,
This is a story about a princess
and a choice between two handsome princes,
One prince was,,,royal
ambitious, successful
for building big castles all over the land,
He had all the princely qualities
that most princesses usually love,
But the other prince, he was fun-loving and adventurous
and he made the princess laugh
but his castle was just made of sand,
One day, the ambitious prince
he asked the princess to marry him,
That was something she wanted,,
,,,but somehow
she just couldn't cross the drawbridge,
Gazing up at the big castle,,
,,,her mind kept wandering back
to the castle of sand on the beach,
And so,,
- Excuse me a minute, - Yeah,
I'm sorry, but I have to go,
But how does the story end?
You know, I'll tell you when I find out,
Well, well, I'm sorry this trip has gone so sideways,
Look, the other night when I proposed to you,,
,,,I admit, I messed up,
Yeah, it was rushed and I don't blame you
for asking me for more time,,
,,,but I wanna fix that,
Eric, it's,,,stunning,
Yeah? Well, we're good together,
And you got to admit, with our careers on the rise
it's gonna be a win for both of us,
- A win? - Absolutely,
And then we'll be part of the club,
A married power couple ready to take on the world,
So this is,,
- It's all about our careers? - No,
But you got to admit, it's not gonna hurt,
Maybe I don't want my life defined by work anymore,
I've just been realizing a lot of things lately
things that I had forgotten about myself, I mean,,
I like fun, adventure, creativity,,
,,,and not having my thoughts be all about numbers
when I close my eyes,
Maybe I'm just more of an otter than a duck,
Now what?
You know, from my story,
Yeah, yeah, of course,
- I can't accept this, - Sweetheart,
Did I do something wrong?
No, No, neither of us did,
It's just becoming clear that we're very different people
who want different things,
You're gonna find a woman who wants the same things you do,
I'm just not that woman,
I'm sorry,
Oh, Uh, I'm sorry, Is Shep here?
- No, - Do you know where he is?
Uh, well, he just gave his notice
and basically packed up and left,
- That quick? - Well, our Shep,
That's the way he is, He's not very good at goodbyes,
Do you know how long ago he left?
Yeah, about, uh, an hour ago,
He went to the plaza to grab a bus to the airport,
If you hurry,
- Can you call me a cab? - I believe I can,
Here, Gracias,
Hate to break it to you, but those wishes rarely come true,
I thought you left already,
Yeah, Missed the bus,
Next one will be along shortly,
- Where is Eric? - I broke it off,
He's a great guy, just not the guy,
I see that now,
I've felt more like myself in the last few days
than in the last ten years, and in a huge way
that's, that's due to you,
- I don't know, - Oh, I do,
You helped me rediscover who I am,,
,,,what I'm passionate about, what makes me happy,,
,,,who makes me happy,
Come on, Kate, we talked about this,
- It's just-- - A fantasy?
No, No, you're wrong,
There's,,
,,,there's something real here,
If you don't feel it, I'll, I'll walk away,
Look, I, I get it,
You've been hurt,,
,,,but if you get on that bus right now,,
,,,then it might be you who's throwing away something
really good,
So please let me in,
I should go,
Hey,
You said this,,
,,,was to help find your way when you're lost,
I hope it works,
Kate, Hold up,
I forgot something,
I've been waiting 20 years to do that,,
You know, I think I have, too,
What about Tahiti?
Never heard of it,
Besides,,
,,,I think I found everything I need right here,
Thank you,
Ah, fresh air, warm breeze, I've missed this place,
Ah, I know what you mean, Another perfect day,
- Ah, thank you, - Ah, thank you,
I say we hit the beach running,
- Yeah? - Snorkeling on the reef,
Let's take a catamaran tour?
I don't know, I was thinkin' about lounging by the pool
maybe doin' a little paperwork,
Not funny,
- Mm-hmm? - No,
Welcome to paradise,
Ah, there's a familiar face,
Shep tells me that you're activities director now,
- 'Congratulations,' - Thanks,
'That didn't take long,'
Well, I was taught by the best,
'So great to have you two back here,'
I see you have the honeymoon package,
So how's family law treating you, Shep?
Well, to be honest, it took a little getting used to
wearing a suit again
but it's a pretty incredible feeling
bringing people together,
I think I found my calling,
That's great,
Excuse me, miss, Is this you?
- 'Yeah,' - Would you sign my book?
Sure,
- What's your name, honey? - Josephine,
Josephine, Perfect,
There you go,
And remember, Josephine, just like Peg the Platypus
you can choose to be whoever you wanna be,
Feels kind of funny to be here as a guest,
I guess this won't be a working vacation,
You know what? That suits me just fine,
