00:00:00part with one of the oldest cities in Bavaria. We hope you enjoy your cruise on the Emerald Sun.
00:00:05I shouldn't have agreed to do this show. Stanley wouldn't have asked if he didn't
00:00:08think he could do it. He's a good friend. Who happens to be one of the biggest Broadway
00:00:12producers. You're on vacation, remember? I'll just be a minute.
00:00:18Trisha, hi. The contract has been sent out, but I'm sensing hesitation on their part.
00:00:24Why? They're an old school tour company, Sarah. Your pitch is too modern for their taste.
00:00:29With these apps and all these small wellness groups, they're about money, not meditation.
00:00:35I think it's the future, but I can definitely tone down the original pitch.
00:00:39Fine. But this one's on you if it doesn't work out.
00:00:42Think about the promotion you're in for. Yes, of course. Understood.
00:00:47Does that woman ever give you a break? Can't you just put that on airplane mode?
00:00:51Mom, then I'll be out of office, out of work, and three, two, one, fired.
00:00:55Welcome aboard. I'm Teddy, your cruise director.
00:00:59Hello. Feel free to ask any questions about the cruise.
00:01:02Oh, thank you, Teddy. I'm Sarah Matthews. This is my mother, Julia.
00:01:06Hello. We're with the theater group.
00:01:08Ah, our passengers are so excited. It's actually sold out.
00:01:13Are our rooms ready yet? Your cabins are ready.
00:01:16I have you in 205, and there's a walk-in tour of Passau to get you in.
00:01:23And there's a walk-in tour of Passau today at three, if you would like to join.
00:01:27Well, I'm sure Sarah would love to join the walk-in tour.
00:01:31I would actually, thank you, after I tour the business center.
00:01:35Julia, would you like me to put you down too?
00:01:37No, no. I think I'd like to relax a little while.
00:01:40There's tea and coffee in the animal lounge. It's quite relaxing in there.
00:01:44All that matters is that my daughter relaxes this trip.
00:01:50Business center? That way?
00:01:52Yeah.
00:02:03Hey, are you sure we have like an hour before the tour starts?
00:02:06I'm just filing my books today.
00:02:08Yeah, I know, I know, but there's just so much to see and do, you know?
00:02:10Tomorrow.
00:02:12Okay. You still want to do dinner?
00:02:14Early seating?
00:02:16Yeah, we can do early seating.
00:02:22Hi, I'm Betty Stevenson.
00:02:27Julia Matthews. Nice to meet you.
00:02:30Julia Matthews, as in Broadway.
00:02:33Yes, I'm surprised you know who I am.
00:02:35Oh, I've seen every Broadway musical from the Palace
00:02:38to the New Amsterdam Theater and everything in between.
00:02:42Please tell me that you're here for the Broadway revival.
00:02:44Ah, yes, yes, I am.
00:02:46Wonderful.
00:02:48And what brings you to the Danube?
00:02:50Oh, I've been on this floating palace for over a year.
00:02:54They can't get rid of me.
00:02:56The usual.
00:03:00I'm going to do the final review now, period.
00:03:02We'll send over in 20 minutes.
00:03:07Minutes.
00:03:09Minutes?
00:03:10Come up with minutes.
00:03:11Minutes, minutes.
00:03:12Okay, and set.
00:03:16Oh, seriously?
00:03:18Oh, come on.
00:03:21Come on.
00:03:24I'm sorry.
00:03:24Oh, oh, I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:03:27No, I love the dance moves.
00:03:29Our planned fishing expedition.
00:03:30I couldn't think about which one.
00:03:33The internet is really spotty here.
00:03:35Well, it's a good thing that cell phones are banned.
00:03:38Seriously?
00:03:40No, but they should be.
00:03:41It's just, it's vacation.
00:03:43No phone zone.
00:03:44Deadlines are unavoidable.
00:03:46I take it you don't know where the business center is?
00:03:49I'm afraid I don't.
00:03:50I probably won't find out.
00:03:52I'm Jack.
00:03:53Wilson.
00:03:56Sarah Matthews.
00:03:56Nice to meet you.
00:03:58You too.
00:03:59Talk typos later.
00:04:05Maybe.
00:04:07That made no sense.
00:04:08What are you doing?
00:04:09Oh.
00:04:13Having been to the Danube,
00:04:15having been destroyed by the great fire in 1662,
00:04:19Paso was rebuilt by Italian architects
00:04:21who infused the city with a marvellous Italian flair.
00:04:25So feel free to say Ciao to Paso.
00:04:32So you're, you're on this tour,
00:04:34but you're not really like on tour.
00:04:36Oh, the vacation police are back.
00:04:39You still trying?
00:04:40No, you know what?
00:04:41I am almost ready to give up.
00:04:45Oh.
00:04:49What do you do again?
00:04:51Um, I, uh, I work for a marketing firm.
00:04:55We come up with high-end concepts for travel companies, tour groups.
00:05:00Like the cruise?
00:05:02Uh, yeah, yeah, like the cruise.
00:05:04But I'm actually here on holiday with my mom,
00:05:06who's working really hard to get me to try and stop working.
00:05:09And if I could just get this pitch sent,
00:05:11I could try and enjoy my first vacation in two years.
00:05:15Well, since we're no longer on tour,
00:05:17um, let's go to a coffee shop.
00:05:20They have Wi-Fi there.
00:05:23Caffeine and a connection?
00:05:26You're a genius.
00:05:28I have moods.
00:05:32Where did everyone go?
00:05:34I don't know.
00:05:45All right.
00:05:47All sent.
00:05:49Congratulations.
00:05:50Thanks.
00:05:50Cheers.
00:05:51Oh, cheers.
00:05:56So how'd you and your mom pick the Danube?
00:05:58Oh, my mom is in a Broadway revival show in Budapest.
00:06:01Really? She's a singer?
00:06:02Yes.
00:06:03Would I have heard of her?
00:06:04Um, probably not.
00:06:06She was always just in the chorus on Broadway.
00:06:09Okay, and where is she now?
00:06:11Taking a nap.
00:06:12But I think it's more nerves, though.
00:06:15She hasn't performed in years.
00:06:17She actually tried to back out of the trip last night.
00:06:20My dad did, too.
00:06:22He told me all he needed was his golf clubs
00:06:24and me to, uh, stop pushing him to get out more.
00:06:26Ah.
00:06:27Well, it looks like we are in the same boat.
00:06:30Yeah.
00:06:32So, um, why the Danube for you?
00:06:36He's a European history buff,
00:06:37and it's his birthday, and I wanted to surprise him.
00:06:40He's been struggling a little bit.
00:06:42Mom passed a couple years ago.
00:06:44Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:06:47Where are you from?
00:06:49We live in Fairfield, Connecticut, so.
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:53I live in Stamford, and my mom lives in Westport.
00:06:56Oh.
00:06:56Yeah.
00:06:57Serious?
00:06:57Yeah.
00:06:58Yeah, we moved out of the city a little while ago.
00:07:01My dad also passed away, and, um, we made it a fresh start.
00:07:05Sorry to hear that.
00:07:07It's been a really rough go for my mom.
00:07:10She hasn't quite been herself.
00:07:12You know, he's a bit of a music lover,
00:07:14and since we live in the same area and we're out here,
00:07:17do you want to maybe?
00:07:18Oh, yeah.
00:07:19Yeah?
00:07:19We should definitely introduce them.
00:07:22Yeah, maybe it'll get her mind off the show
00:07:24and get her to stop focusing on my work.
00:07:27We could use a friendly buffer.
00:07:28Like a distraction?
00:07:31Devious date.
00:07:32Oh.
00:07:33Ideas?
00:07:35Any chance you're having dinner on the ship tonight?
00:07:38We are.
00:07:39First seating?
00:07:39Oh.
00:07:40My mom thinks the real party starts before sunset.
00:07:43Yes.
00:07:44And he's angry that we don't get the early bird special,
00:07:46even though it's all on cruise.
00:07:47Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:07:59You ready?
00:08:01Yeah.
00:08:03Mom.
00:08:04Mm-hmm?
00:08:05We're going to a restaurant, not snowshoeing.
00:08:08You know, I get cold in air-conditioned restaurants,
00:08:10and this is my favorite outfit.
00:08:11This is vintage Halston.
00:08:12I love it.
00:08:13No.
00:08:14Oh.
00:08:15And since when do you care so much about what I'm wearing?
00:08:18You just never know when you might meet someone.
00:08:19Meet someone?
00:08:20Who am I going to meet?
00:08:21I just mean that, you know, meet all sorts of people on cruises.
00:08:25Yeah.
00:08:27You look beautiful, Mom.
00:08:29With the button on.
00:08:31Even with the button on.
00:08:34Good.
00:08:36Great.
00:08:36Let's go.
00:08:37Great.
00:08:37Let's go.
00:08:39Hey.
00:08:39Oh, looking good.
00:08:41Are you sure I need to wear a tie?
00:08:43Looking real good.
00:08:44Yeah, I think you look great in a tie.
00:08:45Plus, you never know when you might meet someone.
00:08:47Meet someone?
00:08:49What is this, the love boat?
00:08:52Oh, it is now.
00:08:54Thank you very much.
00:08:58Hi, Sarah.
00:08:59Hey, Jack.
00:09:00You look great.
00:09:01Oh, thank you.
00:09:03So do you, Jack.
00:09:05You two know each other?
00:09:06We've been on the tour today.
00:09:08Andre, Sarah, Sarah.
00:09:10Oh, it's nice to meet you.
00:09:12And this is my mother, Julia.
00:09:15Pleasure.
00:09:19Apparently, we all live in Fairfield County.
00:09:21Small world.
00:09:24Well, very nice to meet you both.
00:09:25You too.
00:09:32We don't want to keep you.
00:09:33We should get to our table, huh?
00:09:34Sure.
00:09:36This way, everyone, please.
00:09:39It's just us.
00:09:40We only have tables of four left.
00:09:44Those are reserved, I'm afraid.
00:09:46I hope you don't mind dining together.
00:09:47Not at all.
00:09:48No, that's great.
00:09:50To new friends.
00:09:51Cheers.
00:10:00It is good.
00:10:00So, Andre, what is it that you do?
00:10:03I am a retired math teacher.
00:10:04Oh, math.
00:10:05My worst subject.
00:10:06I'm more right-brained.
00:10:07Oh, but Andre likes music too, right?
00:10:12I ran the marching band program.
00:10:13Oh, how fun.
00:10:15His band played in the Thanksgiving Day Parade every year.
00:10:17Well, I must have seen you then.
00:10:20And do you get too many Broadway musicals being so close to town?
00:10:24I'm more into plays.
00:10:27Julie sang on Broadway.
00:10:28She's actually performing on this trip.
00:10:30I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything.
00:10:31No, it's okay.
00:10:31Not everyone's into show tunes.
00:10:34Sarah, however, is an accomplished pianist.
00:10:37Are they right?
00:10:38Well, I don't play much anymore.
00:10:40She's very, very good.
00:10:44Um, what do you do, Jack?
00:10:47I run a local paper in Easton.
00:10:49The one that did the exposé on the chemical plant?
00:10:52That was my piece.
00:10:52I did the investigation.
00:10:54That was an amazing piece.
00:10:57I actually did marketing for The Villager after I graduated from Stern.
00:11:01Really?
00:11:01I love how small newspapers bring people together.
00:11:05They can be real advocates for change.
00:11:07I agree.
00:11:07They are the backbone of the community.
00:11:10Well said.
00:11:12What's up?
00:11:13How's everyone's wine?
00:11:14You like it?
00:11:15Oh, it's really good.
00:11:17I'd actually like a whiskey.
00:11:19Excuse me.
00:11:20Oh, oh, oh my goodness, Mom!
00:11:22No, no, no, no, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
00:11:25It's okay, it's okay.
00:11:26Oh my gosh.
00:11:27You know what?
00:11:27I think, I think I am going to go get the steak.
00:11:29I'm so sorry.
00:11:29No, it's okay, it's okay.
00:11:32I'm going to go back though and get the steak now.
00:11:34Okay, I'll come with you.
00:11:35No, no, no, no, I'll order room service.
00:11:37You stay, you stay, you stay, you stay, have fun.
00:11:40It's okay, I'll be right back, I'll be right back.
00:11:42Mom, just wait.
00:11:54That was messy.
00:11:57That's what a dry cleaner's for.
00:11:59I'm not talking about the coat.
00:12:02It's our first date, first dinner.
00:12:06Dinner?
00:12:07You mean disaster.
00:12:11I guess when you haven't gone out with anyone in a really long time, you just get...
00:12:14It takes a little time to warm up.
00:12:21We can do this.
00:12:22I think so.
00:12:25Let the romance reboot.
00:12:31I'm so sorry.
00:12:41May I join you?
00:12:42You look like you could use some company.
00:12:45Bit of a rough night.
00:12:46Oh, no, what happened?
00:12:49I spilled wine on someone.
00:12:52Please, that's nothing.
00:12:54My first night sitting at the captain's table, he was late.
00:12:57And when he came to greet us, I asked him for the menu.
00:13:02It was the uniform, I had no idea.
00:13:05That is better.
00:13:06It's so embarrassing, right?
00:13:10You're funny.
00:13:11And you're smiling.
00:13:13Mission accomplished.
00:13:15Thank you for that.
00:13:16I'm Andre.
00:13:18Betty.
00:13:19Nice to meet you, Betty.
00:13:20Hmm?
00:13:23Vienna, the city of music.
00:13:25Get ready to waltz through centuries of culture and elegance
00:13:29along the Danube's graceful shores.
00:13:34As the office turns.
00:13:37More work drama?
00:13:39The tour company backed out.
00:13:41Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:43My boss isn't, she's just mad.
00:13:46A lot was riding on that one.
00:13:48Oh, and please don't tell my mom I snuck out.
00:13:51She thinks I'm in the adjoining massage room right now.
00:13:54Mom's the word.
00:13:57I know, I sound silly worrying about what she thinks.
00:14:01Not at all.
00:14:02Name someone who doesn't care what their parents think.
00:14:05You too?
00:14:07Yeah, of course.
00:14:08I mean, Dad and I, we don't see each other as much anymore, but
00:14:14I don't know, I guess the cruise was going to be interesting.
00:14:16May I?
00:14:20Yes, um, a river cruise is a interesting choice.
00:14:26So, more urgent topic.
00:14:28How's the coat?
00:14:30Um, perfect excuse to go shopping.
00:14:33That bad?
00:14:34Yes, we have gone from vacation police to fashion police.
00:14:39Well, for what it's worth, he said he had a great time.
00:14:43After dinner at the bar.
00:14:45Well, better than my mom.
00:14:46She said that she had fun scrubbing her dress because
00:14:50she went cleaning to be cathartic.
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:55What are we going to do with those two?
00:14:58Well, I think we wait until you're done working, and then we come up with a plan.
00:15:05Oh, maybe a day trip to Salzburg.
00:15:06Mom and I love the sound of music.
00:15:08Now, that's up my alley, especially around Christmas time, but his, not so much.
00:15:13What would you say to a Linzer torte baking class?
00:15:16Delicious, but she's allergic to nuts.
00:15:19Oh.
00:15:22She does love carriage rides, though.
00:15:25You wouldn't be down for that.
00:15:27How does she feel about schnitzel?
00:15:29Loves it.
00:15:31Okay, you got it.
00:15:33Old town carriage ride after dinner.
00:15:37Perfect.
00:15:38Yeah, I can spend the day with my mom.
00:15:40Yeah, I can spend the day with my mom.
00:15:42Get her in the mood.
00:15:44Great.
00:15:45Oh, by the way, if you're shopping, his favorite color's blue, scent lavender.
00:15:49Okay, copy.
00:15:50Oh, oh, oh, and mom, she loves a man in a dapper hat.
00:15:55You know, just like Frank Sinatra.
00:15:59Yeah, I'm kind of loving this.
00:16:00Are we parent trapping?
00:16:02You know, there was a cruise in that movie, too.
00:16:05Yeah, yeah, this might work.
00:16:07Okay.
00:16:09Fingers crossed.
00:16:22Oh, didn't your massage fix that neck?
00:16:25That's all that typing you do.
00:16:29I didn't see you after in the relaxation room.
00:16:31Oh, no, I, uh, went to get a coffee.
00:16:34Can you please put that down?
00:16:37Yeah, yes.
00:16:41So, um, mom, I was thinking for later, how about a carriage ride and dinner with Andre and Jack?
00:16:48Again?
00:16:49I barely know them.
00:16:51Oh, well, Andre had fun last night.
00:16:54He did?
00:16:55Yeah, um, I think he's into you.
00:16:58Really?
00:17:02Oh, mom, this whole outfit would look amazing on you.
00:17:07Oh, you could wear it to dinner.
00:17:08We're not going back to the ship.
00:17:10So why not at the store?
00:17:12Well, it's nice, but it's for someone younger, and blue's not my color.
00:17:16Oh, excuse me.
00:17:17Hello, I'm Stefan.
00:17:18Hi, Stefan.
00:17:19We are interested in this whole outfit.
00:17:21Excellent choice.
00:17:22Oh, no, it's not for me.
00:17:23It's for my mother.
00:17:24I told you, it's for someone younger.
00:17:26You are never too old for style.
00:17:29Right.
00:17:30See?
00:17:32Come on, just go try it on.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34It'll be two seconds.
00:17:36Yes.
00:17:45Suddenly, I feel like this may be the first time in Europe.
00:17:47Like, I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to Europe.
00:17:49Oh, Sarah and Julie, they want to do something tonight.
00:17:51They were thinking a chariot ride.
00:17:52Again?
00:17:53I think she's into you.
00:17:54Really?
00:17:54Even after the coat?
00:17:55I'm as shocked as you are.
00:17:57I wanted you to see some stuff in here.
00:17:59Okay.
00:18:00Hello.
00:18:01Willkommen zu Herrenhaus Tatters.
00:18:04Womit kann ich Sie helfen?
00:18:06Sorry, sorry.
00:18:07We're American.
00:18:09We have pork pie hats, top hats, bucket hats.
00:18:13Father and son.
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:15And we are actually looking for a couple of fedoras.
00:18:18We are.
00:18:24You met a woman.
00:18:25Oh, say no more.
00:18:27The diamond crown fedoras makes the ladies go wild.
00:18:31Perfect.
00:18:40You look fantastic.
00:18:42Really?
00:18:44My vinyl records are jealous.
00:18:48Guess I'll take it then.
00:18:50Right this way.
00:18:53What are you doing?
00:18:54Don't you just love lavender?
00:19:01Look at us, two guys in a town.
00:19:04You look like Sinatra in that hat.
00:19:05Thank you very much.
00:19:06I feel like it.
00:19:11I love it.
00:19:14Hey, ladies.
00:19:15Hey.
00:19:17You look beautiful, Julia.
00:19:18Love the blue.
00:19:20Is that lavender you're wearing?
00:19:22Yes, it is.
00:19:23And that hat looks very dapper.
00:19:27So, um, shall we?
00:19:31Oh, honey, I just really like to stay put for a while, I think.
00:19:36No, but we all wanted to go together.
00:19:38Do you know what I'd love?
00:19:40There's a concert up at the church we just passed.
00:19:43That sounds very interesting.
00:19:44Would you mind if I tag along?
00:19:46No, not at all.
00:19:48Okay, but, um, what about dinner?
00:19:51We have your location.
00:19:52We'll meet you there.
00:19:53Have fun, okay?
00:19:55Okay.
00:19:55Okay, yeah.
00:19:56All right.
00:20:01Not exactly as planned.
00:20:03But with an unexpected twist.
00:20:07You ready?
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:09So you, uh, got yourself a little present.
00:20:12I did.
00:21:01If that's the look you're going for, yeah, it could work.
00:21:12No, but wait, didn't we pass that twice already?
00:21:15We did.
00:21:16I asked our driver to take the long route.
00:21:18Give him a little more time.
00:21:20Oh, I like the way you think.
00:21:25I'm also really digging this new look.
00:21:27You like this?
00:21:28Yeah.
00:21:30So how'd it go with your dad today?
00:21:34Surprisingly, really well.
00:21:37That's great.
00:21:38Yeah.
00:21:40Why is it a surprise?
00:21:41Are you not normally close?
00:21:44I was closer with my mom.
00:21:48He was always wrapped up in the whole band life things.
00:21:52Things better now that he's retired?
00:21:55When I lived at home, we would just go through the motions.
00:21:57When I moved out, things got a little more distant and
00:22:01after she passed, I really saw him.
00:22:06But you're making the effort now.
00:22:08Like with this cruise?
00:22:10Yes.
00:22:11Yes.
00:22:11Things will get better.
00:22:14I hope so.
00:22:17You and your mom seem very close.
00:22:18That's great.
00:22:19Yeah, we are.
00:22:20But it takes effort and she thinks that I should be
00:22:26working less and spending more time with her.
00:22:31Speaking of which, I want to ask you a question.
00:22:33Why do you work so much?
00:22:36It's all part of my plan.
00:22:38Oh, your plan?
00:22:39Yeah.
00:22:39Yeah, I have to stay later than everyone else
00:22:44and I have to come in on the weekends if I want to get ahead.
00:22:47Okay, fair.
00:22:50Getting ahead, is that getting the way you enjoy yourself?
00:22:54I don't think so.
00:22:56No?
00:22:56What do you like to do for fun?
00:23:01I go for a run every morning.
00:23:05You run?
00:23:07For fun.
00:23:09I do.
00:23:10I like it.
00:23:11I think you need to be a little more adventurous, Sarah.
00:23:15I get the feeling we've been stood up.
00:23:18Or maybe set up?
00:23:20You get the sense they could be up to something.
00:23:22I don't think so.
00:23:27Hey.
00:23:28Hey.
00:23:30They're smiling.
00:23:32Yeah, they are.
00:23:33Sarah knows I'm not ready to date yet.
00:23:35And I wouldn't know a set up if it came with a neon sign and an orchestra.
00:23:41She laughed.
00:23:42Hey, I'm sorry about that comment I made about Broadway last night.
00:23:45Oh, Andre, it's fine.
00:23:46You must be very talented.
00:23:48Well, it's very kind.
00:23:49Are you excited about your show?
00:23:53I think nervous would be a better word for it.
00:23:56I used to tell my band before big parades,
00:23:58let the music flow from your hearts.
00:24:01And we'll touch the souls of everyone who hears us.
00:24:03Lovely.
00:24:04And then just picture them in their underwear.
00:24:10Hey, by the way, I called the restaurant, gave them a credit card,
00:24:13and ordered dessert for them.
00:24:14Compliments of that gentleman, of course.
00:24:17Nicely planned.
00:24:22We didn't order that.
00:24:23Compliments of the gentleman.
00:24:25Here we go.
00:24:32Oh, no.
00:24:34What?
00:24:35Apple strudel.
00:24:37Yeah, it's fantastic.
00:24:39Restaurant's famous for it.
00:24:40No, my mom used to make it for my dad every Sunday.
00:24:44Oh.
00:24:46I can tell she's upset.
00:24:48Are you okay?
00:24:52It's just, um...
00:24:55strudel was something that I shared with my husband.
00:25:00I'm sorry.
00:25:02This just triggered that memory.
00:25:05I know how you feel.
00:25:07Like today when I smell the lavender?
00:25:10It instantly made me think of my wife.
00:25:14It's bound to happen, right?
00:25:17Yes, it is.
00:25:18It's just how you deal with it.
00:25:25What do you think?
00:25:27Should we go and save them?
00:25:55I think I'm gonna go for my run.
00:26:24There's some excellent trails in Ringstrasse.
00:26:27Lots of iconic landmarks to take in.
00:26:30Well, that sounds great.
00:26:33And, uh, Teddy?
00:26:34Is it possible to have a gift sent to another cabin?
00:26:37Of course.
00:26:38We can arrange that.
00:26:39Perfect.
00:26:40I'll be in touch.
00:26:53This isn't my boat.
00:27:24Jack!
00:27:26Hey!
00:27:27What's going on?
00:27:29I, uh...
00:27:31You don't get this view back in Connecticut, huh?
00:27:34No.
00:27:35You don't.
00:27:38So last night wasn't perfect, huh?
00:27:39Oh, you mean it was the Picasso of imperfection.
00:27:43They did smile, though.
00:27:44True.
00:27:45A little bit.
00:27:45True.
00:27:47Oh, I wanted to tell you.
00:27:48I, uh, had some flowers sent up to your mom's room.
00:27:51I kind of felt bad, so...
00:27:52I had whiskey sent to your room.
00:27:55I thought your dad could use a nice gesture after last night.
00:27:58Does that mean we're doing this again?
00:28:00Well, I haven't seen mom out this much in years.
00:28:03Yeah, that's true.
00:28:04That's true.
00:28:04All right, I vote yes.
00:28:06Okay.
00:28:07But Teddy said there's a day trip to a thermal spa.
00:28:10I thought we could all go.
00:28:12That's like those baths, right?
00:28:13Yeah, I thought it might be relaxing.
00:28:16His idea of relaxing is floating down a river with a koozie.
00:28:19Okay, wait.
00:28:20Let me ask my mom.
00:28:23Oh, she's in.
00:28:25She's even gonna buy a bathing suit.
00:28:28I'll just surprise her.
00:28:29Oh, yeah, because, um, that worked out so well last night.
00:28:33Yeah.
00:28:35Is that what you're on, or what?
00:28:36No, I can go a little more.
00:28:45Must say, they do not give up.
00:28:47I know, I'm a bit annoying that way.
00:28:48It's like they...
00:28:50Oh, it's my boss.
00:28:51Um, I'll meet you in an hour?
00:28:52Okay.
00:28:54Uh, hi, Patricia.
00:28:56Sarah, I need you to get me a new account.
00:28:59I know, and I'm sorry.
00:29:00It's just that I've been here with my mom, and it's been a lot to juggle.
00:29:04Juggle this.
00:29:04I don't care if you have to work 24-7.
00:29:07I need something new.
00:29:14Do you think they're gonna show up?
00:29:17I don't know.
00:29:18Hmm.
00:29:22How's your boss?
00:29:24Oh, yeah.
00:29:27She expects everyone to be superhuman like her.
00:29:32And so what do you do now?
00:29:34I don't know.
00:29:35All I know is that I haven't worked all these years to strive for mediocrity.
00:29:42And what's that mean to you?
00:29:44Not living up to your full potential.
00:29:49Well, it's easy for you to ask that.
00:29:51You are the boss.
00:29:55Well, yeah, but...
00:29:58I didn't take over the paper to become the boss.
00:30:01I took over to help shape people's lives.
00:30:06And help these writers become writers for the Times or the Journal.
00:30:11I want it to be different than all the bosses before me.
00:30:15Wow.
00:30:17You sound nothing like mine.
00:30:22Don't get me wrong.
00:30:23I expect excellence from my staff.
00:30:26That said, I also run a pre-laid-back ship.
00:30:31You can't have it all, Sarah.
00:30:33Oh, you can't be serious.
00:30:35Uh-uh. This is the quintessential European experience.
00:30:38Sorry, Kent. No bathing suit.
00:30:40Oh, good thing I already brought one for you.
00:30:45So, what's your job?
00:30:49I'm a writer.
00:30:50Oh.
00:30:52You're a writer.
00:30:54I'm a writer.
00:30:55I'm a writer.
00:30:56I'm a writer.
00:30:57I'm a writer.
00:30:57I'm a writer.
00:30:58I'm a writer.
00:30:59I'm a writer.
00:31:00I'm a writer.
00:31:01I'm a writer.
00:31:02You want me to wear pineapples?
00:31:04Pink pineapples.
00:31:10Pink pineapples?
00:31:12I'll caddy for you for a month.
00:31:17You're on.
00:31:18Let's go get her.
00:31:20European caddy.
00:31:25Mom? Are you ready?
00:31:27Coming.
00:31:29I thought you were buying a bathing suit.
00:31:31Did you see the suits they were selling? They were like macrame.
00:31:34Oh my goodness.
00:31:35No, I'm fine like this.
00:31:44Hey! I could have used a two for one deal with that robe.
00:31:47Instead I got stuck with pink pineapples.
00:31:51Thank you very much, son.
00:31:53Are they pineapples or palm trees?
00:31:54Are they palm trees?
00:31:55Are they pineapples?
00:31:56I think they're pineapples.
00:31:57You guys getting in?
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59No.
00:32:00Aw, come on.
00:32:07Nice.
00:32:08You know what that is?
00:32:10This is so soothing. That's what it is.
00:32:12It's the minerals.
00:32:14Hey!
00:32:15Right?
00:32:16Oh my gosh.
00:32:17Oh, you think you're... uh-oh.
00:32:18Aggressive.
00:32:28Hi!
00:32:29Hey guys, we were taking a look around.
00:32:30Yeah, you two kids have fun.
00:32:31All right, you too.
00:32:39You do realize they are trying to set us up, right?
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:44I didn't think Sarah would do that to me, but now I'm not so sure.
00:32:52Those flowers that came this morning, they didn't come from you, did they?
00:32:55Nope.
00:32:56The whiskey?
00:32:57Mm-mm.
00:33:01You're lovely, Andre.
00:33:04But I'm just not ready yet.
00:33:07I think you understand.
00:33:10I've been enjoying getting to know you.
00:33:14You're a pretty special woman.
00:33:21You know what's funny?
00:33:23Mm-hmm?
00:33:24They're the ones having a moment.
00:33:26You noticed that too, huh?
00:33:27I just don't think they realize it.
00:33:29Maybe we could help them.
00:33:31Like reverse parent trap?
00:33:32Why not?
00:33:33Why not?
00:33:36I don't think they know what they're in for.
00:33:40I'm playing golf with him when we get back.
00:33:42I haven't done that in like a year.
00:33:44That's amazing.
00:33:45Yeah.
00:33:46Well, I'm excited to see her show.
00:33:48Me too.
00:33:50So really, she was a Broadway singer?
00:33:52Yes.
00:33:53She was in the chorus.
00:33:54Wow.
00:33:55But she should have been the lead.
00:33:57Her voice is incredible.
00:34:01Why wasn't she, you think?
00:34:03When I came along, she couldn't do it all.
00:34:08It's sad.
00:34:09Imagine having the ability to make it big
00:34:12and not being able to realize that dream.
00:34:16Well, maybe making it big
00:34:18means different things for different people, you know?
00:34:20You ever asked her about it?
00:34:22No.
00:34:23Not directly.
00:34:27Are you always this thoughtful with everyone?
00:34:31No.
00:34:32Just people I really care about.
00:34:39Are you and your dad going on the Chandon Palace tour?
00:34:42We are.
00:34:43Oh.
00:34:44Us too.
00:34:45Before we go, should we take another dip?
00:34:48Why not?
00:34:50They won't miss us.
00:34:51No.
00:34:52No.
00:35:10Wow.
00:35:11This place is stunning.
00:35:19Should we go over to the piano?
00:35:21Yeah, yeah, I'd love to.
00:35:33Wow.
00:35:34Been there a long time already.
00:35:36It's very cute.
00:35:38You know, after his very first concert here as a kid,
00:35:41at only six years old,
00:35:42Mozart jumped into the lap of the Empress
00:35:45and started hugging and kissing her.
00:35:47Wow.
00:35:48He was a star after that.
00:35:50Imagine life changing in an instant.
00:35:53That moment that you made it.
00:35:58What's that for you?
00:36:02CEO.
00:36:04No.
00:36:05President.
00:36:06Okay.
00:36:07Either one.
00:36:10So kind of like your boss?
00:36:11I mean, you said she's, what, superhuman?
00:36:14Does she talk about, like, her kids and her family and stuff?
00:36:18No.
00:36:19But I don't really know her that well.
00:36:22Oh.
00:36:23Okay.
00:36:24Actually, no one does.
00:36:32Do you want to get a drink?
00:36:34Red or white?
00:36:37Both.
00:36:38Oh.
00:36:39There we go.
00:36:45I'll have one of these.
00:36:52Andre.
00:36:53Betty.
00:36:54Want some company?
00:36:55Please.
00:37:00So what are you doing sitting here all alone?
00:37:02I walked a friend to the shuttle.
00:37:04She wanted to get back to the ship.
00:37:06But the day is not over.
00:37:08I figured I'd take it all in for a little while longer.
00:37:11It is a beautiful place, isn't it?
00:37:13So who's your friend?
00:37:14Long story, but my son and her daughter are trying to set me up with her.
00:37:18She's here for a Broadway show.
00:37:20Julia?
00:37:21You know her.
00:37:22I am such a fan.
00:37:24She's incredibly talented.
00:37:26She's a lovely woman.
00:37:28So are you interested?
00:37:32I don't know what I want anymore.
00:37:35My wife died.
00:37:37I could have been a better husband.
00:37:41There's a lot.
00:37:44You know the wonderful thing about our age?
00:37:47We have nothing but time on our hands.
00:37:51Time to fix our mistakes.
00:37:53Time for second chances.
00:38:06It's beautiful.
00:38:08It's wonderful.
00:38:10Did you ever perform?
00:38:12No.
00:38:14Recitals as a kid.
00:38:17I guess my mom gave me the music gene.
00:38:22I used to find playing the piano so relaxing.
00:38:28You ever think you'd want to get back into it?
00:38:33Maybe I will.
00:38:35Yeah.
00:38:39I wonder where my mom is.
00:38:43Yeah, well, I haven't seen my dad in a while.
00:38:46Well, wherever they are, I'm sure they're together.
00:38:49I'm sure they are.
00:38:53Thank you for walking me back.
00:38:55Oh, you're welcome. I had a blast.
00:38:57Me too.
00:38:58It's Dad's birthday tomorrow and I booked him that private tour at the National Library
00:39:02and I was wondering if maybe you and your mom wanted to go.
00:39:05Oh. Are you sure you want us tagging along?
00:39:08Are you kidding me? Your mom's my secret weapon.
00:39:11This cruise is way better than expected and that's because of you.
00:39:14So, thank you.
00:39:16I could say the same to you.
00:39:21Also, I'm going to go for a run tomorrow morning.
00:39:24Want to join me?
00:39:26Since we'll both be there.
00:39:28Yeah, I would.
00:39:31Great.
00:39:32Yeah.
00:39:35Well, I should get going.
00:39:38Well, yeah, I should go check on my mom.
00:39:41Make sure she's okay.
00:39:44Good night, Sarah.
00:39:47Good night, Jack.
00:40:01Oh, hi, Sarah.
00:40:02Oh, morning, Teddy.
00:40:03You going for a run?
00:40:04Yeah, I'm just waiting for Jack.
00:40:06Actually, I wanted to talk to Jack this morning.
00:40:09To ask if you'd like to come to the captain's table for dinner tonight.
00:40:13Celebrate his dad's birthday.
00:40:15Oh, we would love to. Thank you.
00:40:17How's it going?
00:40:19His dad and my mom are finally getting along great.
00:40:23Actually, I went with you and Jack.
00:40:27Oh, yeah.
00:40:30It's really nice.
00:40:33See ya.
00:40:36See ya.
00:40:47It never gets old here.
00:40:49And the air feels amazing.
00:40:53The company, too.
00:40:57You know, I was reading about the library on the ship.
00:40:59Yeah.
00:41:01I think I found something special for you to do for your dad.
00:41:05I'm all ears.
00:41:08Is that good?
00:41:09Appreciate it.
00:41:27This is the 15,000 volume collection of Prince Eugene de Savoy,
00:41:30found in Moroccan leather.
00:41:32Who was Prince Eugene?
00:41:34He was one of the most successful military commanders of his time.
00:41:37He was also very short, under five feet.
00:41:41So he was banned from the French military.
00:41:43Well, how did he overcome that?
00:41:45He fled the country, disguised as a woman,
00:41:48and convinced the emperor in Vienna to let him join the military.
00:41:51Wow.
00:41:52You know your European history.
00:41:54Uh-huh.
00:41:57Do you want to tell me some more?
00:41:58I see some first editions over there.
00:42:00Let's go.
00:42:04Would you look at those two?
00:42:06Yeah, from awkward to effortless.
00:42:09He's having an absolute blast.
00:42:11Thank you very much for this.
00:42:14Of course.
00:42:24Hello.
00:42:25I'm Johanna, and welcome to the music room of our library.
00:42:31We have thousands of pages of sheet music
00:42:34from composers like Beethoven, Mozart,
00:42:38choir books from the 15th century,
00:42:42and, of course, our opera libretto collection.
00:42:45Amazing.
00:42:46And I understand we have a birthday?
00:42:49Uh, yes.
00:42:51Please take a seat.
00:43:01This is a book with sheet music from the Guggenmusik,
00:43:05which is one of the oldest marching bands in the world
00:43:09and from the Almanach region of Austria.
00:43:21Thanks to your son, your name will be forever displayed on the book.
00:43:30Your generous contribution will help us preserve it.
00:43:37No one's ever done anything like this for me before.
00:43:44I'm glad you like it.
00:43:46I love it.
00:43:48Sarah's idea. We just arranged it.
00:43:54Both of you.
00:44:00How about a photo?
00:44:02Oh, this one's all about father and son.
00:44:04Okay.
00:44:14Love you, son.
00:44:17You too.
00:44:30Good evening, everyone.
00:44:31Thank you for joining my table tonight.
00:44:33Thank you for inviting us.
00:44:35You're welcome.
00:44:36I hear there's a birthday on the ship tonight.
00:44:40André?
00:44:41Uh, too much fuss, but thank you.
00:44:44Please raise your glasses to André.
00:44:47Happy birthday.
00:44:48Happy birthday.
00:44:49Happy birthday, André.
00:44:50So, how's everyone enjoying the cruise?
00:44:53Hmm, best one yet.
00:44:54I'm glad you're enjoying it.
00:44:56So, how's everyone enjoying the cruise?
00:44:59Hmm, best one yet.
00:45:00You say that every time.
00:45:04Everyone's very excited about the show in Budapest.
00:45:07It's going to be a wonderful evening.
00:45:08Julia is fantastic.
00:45:10Your first show was Woman of the Year,
00:45:13and you played Helga, the German housekeeper.
00:45:17Wow.
00:45:18I can't believe you remember that.
00:45:21And how I pulled that one off, I'll never know.
00:45:24Now, the main character Tess valued her marriage over her career,
00:45:28and yet, at the end, seemed to have somehow had it all.
00:45:33Did you ever play the lead?
00:45:35No, no.
00:45:36Only the chorus.
00:45:37Oh, but she should have been the lead.
00:45:39Oh, but I can tell you, the solo was just fantastic.
00:45:42Oh, I would love to hear you sing, Julia.
00:45:44You know, there's a piano in the lounge.
00:45:47Do you think we might be able to maybe get a little sneak preview?
00:45:51I don't know.
00:45:52Oh.
00:45:53Oh, come on, Mom.
00:45:56Come on, it could be fun.
00:45:58Sarah could play the piano.
00:45:59Great idea.
00:46:01Yeah, I used to play for my mom when she'd rehearse a new show.
00:46:04That's right, she did.
00:46:06I'm in.
00:46:07All right.
00:46:09One.
00:46:11Bravo.
00:46:13That's awesome.
00:46:22And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine,
00:46:27and he helped me sing.
00:46:36Yes, yes.
00:46:37He said, and it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine.
00:46:42Yes, he said, and it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine.
00:46:47And it was grand just to stand with his hand holding mine
00:46:54Till the end of the line
00:47:10Welcome to Dernstein.
00:47:11It's considered to be one of the most beautiful small towns in Austria.
00:47:15Home to the country's oldest winery estate.
00:47:20Two thousand years to the Roman Empire.
00:47:23You know, I once read that men think about the Roman Empire several times a week.
00:47:27But I can't be true.
00:47:28Oh yeah, makes total sense.
00:47:30Really?
00:47:31I mean, they built a world-dominating society and they had gladiators.
00:47:34How cool is that?
00:47:39Alright, you ready to go underground?
00:47:42I'll protect you.
00:47:44Who says I won't protect you?
00:47:46After you.
00:47:52Down here is miles of these tunnels and tens of thousands of bottles.
00:47:56It's really the perfect temperature for wine.
00:48:03Oh, here.
00:48:07Take a picture of me?
00:48:08Got it.
00:48:09Okay.
00:48:14Hold on, hold on. We got something right in here.
00:48:16Something right over there.
00:48:26Wait.
00:48:32You know something funny?
00:48:34Say cheese.
00:48:35Cheese.
00:48:36I got it the first time.
00:48:37You're ridiculous.
00:48:40You're ridiculous.
00:48:41You're ridiculous.
00:48:42I know.
00:48:47Are you feeling better about the show after last night?
00:48:49I should be.
00:48:51But I woke up this morning ready to tell my producer that my house is on fire and I need to go home.
00:48:57You know, Adele once ran down a fire escape so she wouldn't have to perform.
00:49:00Yeah, smart lady. She ran away.
00:49:02And she went on to sell out concerts around the world.
00:49:07I haven't sung on stage in years.
00:49:11My husband Charles never missed a show.
00:49:14You're lucky you had that kind of relationship.
00:49:16You weren't close with your wife?
00:49:19I focused so much on my work and then one day Lucy was gone.
00:49:25My biggest regret was not spending more time with her.
00:49:28Our relationship just faded.
00:49:31I had all that quality time with Charles.
00:49:36He's gone.
00:49:38Gets lonely.
00:49:41Well, you have good memories.
00:49:44A daughter who loves you and a new friend.
00:49:47Yeah, I do.
00:49:53Oh, wow.
00:49:57My mom and your dad seem so deep in conversation over there.
00:50:02I haven't seen him talk to someone for that long in a long time.
00:50:05Same here.
00:50:06Yeah.
00:50:07My mom never opens up to me like that.
00:50:11Maybe it's just their shared experiences, you know, make it a little easier for him.
00:50:15I think that's part of the reason she's so nervous about the show.
00:50:19My dad not being here.
00:50:21Now she has you.
00:50:26And she's just in the chorus again.
00:50:29Yeah, you've mentioned that a few times about the show.
00:50:31Is that bothering you?
00:50:34Like I said, she didn't realize her dream.
00:50:42Maybe it's something more than that.
00:50:48I guess I feel some guilt that I'm the reason for it.
00:50:52So, I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything hold me back.
00:50:58Like having a family?
00:51:02Well...
00:51:05I'd need a husband for that first.
00:51:12You and Jack are getting along nicely.
00:51:17Well, so are you and Andre.
00:51:20We're just friends.
00:51:22What?
00:51:24But I thought you two...
00:51:25We know what you two have been up to.
00:51:28We're happy to be friends.
00:51:30But he raised a wonderful son.
00:51:33Sarah, I see the connection between you two.
00:51:36Yeah, I may be mom, but I'm not clueless.
00:51:40Oh, Sarah, look at this.
00:51:43This is vintage.
00:51:45It's beautiful, isn't it?
00:51:47Let's get it.
00:51:48No, no, no, I have too many things already.
00:51:50Sorry.
00:51:51Are you sure?
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:56Um...
00:51:58Can I ask you a question?
00:52:00Sure.
00:52:02Um...
00:52:04Can I ask you something?
00:52:06Mm-hmm.
00:52:09Do you ever regret not going further in your career?
00:52:14Watching all those other women play leads?
00:52:17A lot of those leads were jealous of what I had.
00:52:21How so?
00:52:23Oh, I had it all.
00:52:24I had the family, I had a steady job.
00:52:27I was in love with both sides of my life.
00:52:29Both sides of my life.
00:52:34I'm so glad you told me that.
00:52:37You know this.
00:52:38No.
00:52:40I always felt like I held you back.
00:52:43I was an independent woman.
00:52:46And having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:52:53I love you.
00:52:55I love you.
00:53:00You know you're always a star in my book.
00:53:07Are you going to come to the castle tonight?
00:53:09No, um...
00:53:11I think I'm going to head back to the ship and relax a bit.
00:53:14Okay, I'm going to go meet Jack now.
00:53:16But I'll see you for dinner, right?
00:53:17Yeah.
00:53:18Alright.
00:53:19Alright.
00:53:29Richard the Lionheart rebelled against his father, Henry the Second.
00:53:34Another reason to make nice with your dad.
00:53:37True.
00:53:42It's my boss.
00:53:44Did he answer it?
00:53:45Yes.
00:53:46Unless I want to be locked in a proverbial tower.
00:53:48Is that the worst that could happen?
00:53:51Probably.
00:53:55Hmm.
00:53:57I'm not answering it.
00:54:02So that's what it feels like to be your own boss.
00:54:04Absolutely.
00:54:08Oh, it's her again.
00:54:11What's she saying?
00:54:13She says if I don't find a new client, I can kiss that promotion goodbye.
00:54:19Well, as I see it, you have two choices.
00:54:21You can go back to the ship and work, or...
00:54:24you go through that door...
00:54:27and have an amazing day.
00:54:41Wow, look at this place.
00:54:45I'd say you made a pretty good choice.
00:54:47Feels good, yeah.
00:54:49Okay, well, uh...
00:54:51it's now officially a cheat day, and we're going to do some cake tasting.
00:54:54Why not?
00:55:00Hello.
00:55:01Thanks.
00:55:04Hello.
00:55:06Hello, group.
00:55:07I am Lukas.
00:55:09We have four different kinds of tortes for you to try today.
00:55:12We have the apricot almond torte,
00:55:15the raspberry torte,
00:55:17the chocolate espresso nut torte,
00:55:20and the mint chocolate torte.
00:55:22Now, I want your palate to savor every bite,
00:55:25to really feel those flavors, all right?
00:55:28Please.
00:55:32Cheers.
00:55:33Cheers.
00:55:34All right.
00:55:36Mary Antoinette will be rolling in her grave right now.
00:55:38That's right.
00:55:42Oh, yeah.
00:55:43Mm-hmm.
00:55:44Lukas,
00:55:45that's it, man.
00:55:48It's not at all.
00:55:50Oh, yeah.
00:55:55How's this?
00:55:56Good.
00:55:57Mm.
00:56:02Let me try this.
00:56:03So...
00:56:05I can't take you anymore.
00:56:06Them together is really good.
00:56:08Hey, Lukas,
00:56:09can we get another slice of the mint, please?
00:56:12Yes.
00:56:13It looks like you've already tried the mint chocolate torte, sir,
00:56:16and it's one slice only.
00:56:19It's tough crowd.
00:56:20Tough crowd.
00:56:21It's just that my fiancée and I,
00:56:23we're having a tough time choosing between the mint
00:56:25and the, um,
00:56:26was it fudge?
00:56:27Raspberry, you said?
00:56:28Fudge.
00:56:29Yeah.
00:56:30Yeah.
00:56:31Brides, you know.
00:56:33Can't make up their mind.
00:56:35Well, we are not a bakery, sir.
00:56:37There are a number of places in town that do weddings,
00:56:39so I suggest you try that.
00:56:41We could just get, you know, married here.
00:56:44Oh.
00:56:45I love it when you're impulsive.
00:56:47My little teddy bear.
00:56:52Sir, the wait is sometimes years for weddings here.
00:56:55Oh.
00:56:56That's a long time.
00:56:57Um, we should just go to the courthouse, then.
00:56:59We could go with our cake slices.
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:02Just go bucks.
00:57:05Two go bucks.
00:57:06Bitter.
00:57:07One will be good.
00:57:09Sure.
00:57:13No!
00:57:18What were you thinking?
00:57:19I was just having fun.
00:57:20But okay, a hypothetical question.
00:57:22You're getting married.
00:57:23Which flavor are you going with?
00:57:24Buttercream vanilla.
00:57:26So boring.
00:57:27That's a deal breaker.
00:57:28What?
00:57:29That's a deal breaker.
00:57:30Well, what would you choose?
00:57:31It's obvious.
00:57:32Mint chocolate.
00:57:33It's the only choice.
00:57:34Oh, my gosh.
00:57:36People I know who like mint chocolate torte are no older.
00:57:40Hi.
00:57:41No, I'm serious.
00:57:42How was the castle?
00:57:43Fantastic.
00:57:44We actually had the best time cake tasting,
00:57:46and we brought you back some.
00:57:47Aw.
00:57:48Help us pick out a wedding flavor.
00:57:50Excuse me?
00:57:51Cake guy.
00:57:52Thanks for getting married.
00:57:53Why?
00:57:54It's because I said we were.
00:57:56Jack may have suggested that we were together
00:57:58because he wanted more cake.
00:58:01This guy.
00:58:03You know, only people Jack feels really comfortable around
00:58:06are lucky enough to see his prankster side.
00:58:08Oh.
00:58:10I feel lucky then.
00:58:14Welcome to Budapest.
00:58:16As we sail into port,
00:58:18you can see the iconic parliament building
00:58:20with its golden crown and grand staircase.
00:58:23It won't disappoint.
00:58:33I thought your boss would have you locked up in a tower somewhere.
00:58:36Hey.
00:58:37No, no, she just blocked the elevator up to the proverbial one.
00:58:41Well, you know, there's plenty of ways to the top.
00:58:44Personally, I don't think you'd eat her.
00:58:46Unfortunately, I do, Jack.
00:58:49And in fact, I just found this interesting company,
00:58:51and I think I'm going to take the idea to her.
00:58:54Look, they're new.
00:58:56They do boutique hotels with a music theme across Europe,
00:58:58and they're not partnered with a tour company yet.
00:59:00And get this.
00:59:01The CEO is here in Budapest,
00:59:03so I just cold-emailed him.
00:59:05This looks great.
00:59:06Best of luck.
00:59:09Do you want a coffee or a tea?
00:59:10I think I'm okay.
00:59:11Yeah, oh, hang on, sorry.
00:59:13Oh, my gosh, it's him.
00:59:15I'll leave you alone.
00:59:16No, no, no, just...
00:59:17No, it's fine, I'm going to find my dad and see what he's up to.
00:59:19Okay, thanks.
00:59:22Sarah Matthews?
00:59:24Yes, Mr. Kovacs, thank you so much for responding to my email.
00:59:28So when we get back home,
00:59:29does this mean I have to clean your shoes, too,
00:59:31after our caddy for you?
00:59:32Part of the deal.
00:59:33That's it.
00:59:35This is nice, right, spending some time together?
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:44Why did you bring me on this cruise?
00:59:49Remember that Father's Day story that we ran in the paper?
00:59:52About the father and son, his...
00:59:55The parents were divorcing,
00:59:58and he made them a promise
01:00:01that he felt so bad that he was going to call them every single day.
01:00:04And he did.
01:00:06For 35 years.
01:00:08Wow.
01:00:11I thought to myself, you know, what are we doing?
01:00:13We live 10 minutes from each other and we barely speak.
01:00:15Jack, I'm so sorry.
01:00:18I wasn't the greatest father.
01:00:20I deserve some blame in that.
01:00:22You were a kid.
01:00:23I know I was a kid, but I was a kid and then I grew up.
01:00:28I had a choice to make something of this,
01:00:30make something of you and I.
01:00:32I wasn't there for you or your mother.
01:00:36She really loved you.
01:00:38She understood your passion a lot more than I did,
01:00:41and I remember how excited she got about going to the football games
01:00:43when seeing your band play.
01:00:46She was proud of you.
01:00:48I'm proud of you.
01:00:49It's not too late for us.
01:00:51Thanks for saying that, son.
01:00:54I want that second chance.
01:00:57You too.
01:01:00I love you.
01:01:01I love you too.
01:01:04And son, any fool can see you got it bad for Sarah.
01:01:13Yeah, I guess so.
01:01:17Sarah!
01:01:18You look nice.
01:01:19Oh, thanks, Teddy.
01:01:20I just had a business meeting.
01:01:22Oh, if you could just keep that between us, please.
01:01:24Of course.
01:01:25How did it go?
01:01:26Really well.
01:01:27Things are finally looking up on the work front.
01:01:30That's nice to hear.
01:01:32Oh, Jack was looking for you a little earlier.
01:01:35Oh, do you know where he is?
01:01:37I think he was in the lounge.
01:01:39Oh, okay, great.
01:01:40I'm just going to go change.
01:01:42Sarah!
01:01:43Yeah?
01:01:45He likes you.
01:01:48No, we're just friends.
01:01:52Are you?
01:01:57Hey.
01:01:58Hi.
01:01:59Teddy said you were looking for me?
01:02:01Yeah, if you want to sit down.
01:02:04Any chance you're free for dinner tonight?
01:02:06I know it's a pretty special place.
01:02:08Sure.
01:02:09Sounds great.
01:02:10Good.
01:02:11But I should probably check with my mom.
01:02:13And your dad.
01:02:14No need.
01:02:15You're in a car right now.
01:02:16It's on the way to dinner.
01:02:17Their idea?
01:02:18Their idea.
01:02:19You know they're onto us, right?
01:02:21I didn't think my mom was ready.
01:02:23I guess she changed her mind.
01:02:25I guess she changed her mind.
01:02:44Wow.
01:02:46This is an amazing spot.
01:02:49You know, up until this point, everything's been about our parents.
01:02:52So I wanted you to have your own special memory.
01:02:54I've had so many great ones with you on this trip.
01:02:56But this is so thoughtful.
01:02:59You're very, very welcome.
01:03:01So how about a toast?
01:03:02To...
01:03:04Let's see.
01:03:05Oh, barely bathing suits.
01:03:06To all my corny jokes.
01:03:08Yes.
01:03:09Oh, I must not forget.
01:03:10Our romance complete with wedding tort.
01:03:13Wedding tort.
01:03:14In the courthouse just across the street.
01:03:20I should also tell you that
01:03:22I landed that account with that CEO in Budapest.
01:03:25That's great.
01:03:26Yeah.
01:03:27Wow.
01:03:28He actually really loved my idea of pairing the music themed hotels with music tours.
01:03:35And we started talking and all these ideas just clicked.
01:03:41And Patricia was thrilled.
01:03:44She said the promotion's all but mine.
01:03:47Congratulations.
01:03:48It's fantastic here.
01:03:52Persistence paid off.
01:03:56I still think though that you could do something great from home.
01:04:01You know, Teddy said something to me right before I saw you.
01:04:06Yeah?
01:04:07She said that she thinks that we should be more than friends.
01:04:18I think Teddy is right.
01:04:22Jack.
01:04:28I'm so sorry.
01:04:32I feel like I'm still trying to figure out everything.
01:04:38And you should.
01:04:39I get that.
01:04:40You should take time for yourself.
01:04:42Take time to travel.
01:04:45Maybe even see what it's like to get home to an early dinner.
01:04:52And I appreciate you saying that.
01:04:57I appreciate what you said about us.
01:05:04I just don't feel like now is the right time.
01:05:08Yeah.
01:05:20Mom, I got us some coffee.
01:05:33Hi, it's Julia. Leave a message.
01:05:35Hi, Mom. I just saw your note. I hope everything's okay. Call me.
01:05:56Hey.
01:05:57Oh, hi.
01:05:58There you are.
01:06:01I'm sorry. I should have told you.
01:06:03I woke up this morning with a little panic attack, so I just needed some air.
01:06:10This is about the show, isn't it?
01:06:13Yeah.
01:06:15But also a lot of things that just hit me all at once.
01:06:18But it's okay. It's okay.
01:06:21This trip has been good for us.
01:06:24I've actually had the best time with you.
01:06:27But you're still doing the show, right?
01:06:32I don't know. I just...
01:06:36Should I be doing something that causes me this much anxiety?
01:06:42Maybe my time on the stage is past.
01:06:45And that's okay.
01:06:49Here.
01:06:52I got something for you.
01:06:56For me?
01:06:57Yeah.
01:07:06I can't believe you got me this.
01:07:08Medieval Europeans wore rubies to guarantee success.
01:07:21There.
01:07:23Let me see. Thank you.
01:07:26It's all...
01:07:28It's perfect on you.
01:07:34You know I listen to you, right?
01:07:37Just as much as you do.
01:07:40Oh, honey.
01:07:41I've been so busy feeling sad for myself, I...
01:07:45Never take the time to ask you how you're doing.
01:07:49It's been really hard.
01:07:52But I feel so much better when I'm with you.
01:07:55But you're always so busy.
01:07:57I know. I know.
01:07:58And I need to start putting you first.
01:08:01I want to spend more time with you.
01:08:04Well, maybe we could start with Sunday dinner.
01:08:08My place, your place.
01:08:10Wherever you want.
01:08:13Deal.
01:08:18So...
01:08:19How's it going with Jack?
01:08:24I'm not sure it's going anywhere.
01:08:27You know we're both rooting for you.
01:08:30You're good together, Sarah.
01:08:32I hear you.
01:08:35Deb.
01:08:37But...
01:08:39A more urgent matter.
01:08:42Are you gonna do the show or not?
01:08:45We have to let Stanley know.
01:08:48It is just the chorus.
01:08:52I guess I could handle that.
01:08:54Yes, you can!
01:08:58Oh, you're gonna be so good.
01:09:00I know you are.
01:09:02We'll see.
01:09:03You're the best.
01:09:18No, no, no. All the steps are there.
01:09:20All right, so this is just your playing space.
01:09:22I just want you to free up.
01:09:24At the end of the central circle.
01:09:27What happened?
01:09:28Was it just the mistiming thing?
01:09:30Anyway, don't worry.
01:09:32Stanley!
01:09:34Julia!
01:09:36Oh, so good to see you.
01:09:39I have missed you so much.
01:09:42Oh, thank you for doing this.
01:09:44Oh.
01:09:45Thank you for asking this.
01:09:47I don't know what I am anymore.
01:09:49Stop it. You're fabulous.
01:09:52How's the cruise been?
01:09:53Uh, an adventure.
01:09:55I want to hear all about it at the after party.
01:09:57Got it.
01:09:58So, we have an area for you.
01:10:00Oh, lovely.
01:10:01All set up backstage.
01:10:02This way?
01:10:03This way.
01:10:16Oh.
01:10:20Oh.
01:10:22Hi.
01:10:23Hey.
01:10:24How you doing?
01:10:25Well, you know you're really stressed when you start getting on your own nerves.
01:10:29It's okay.
01:10:30Remember what I told you.
01:10:33And I'll be right here, too.
01:10:35What would I do without you?
01:10:38You got this.
01:10:40You do.
01:10:41Oh, hi. How's it looking out there?
01:10:43Good.
01:10:44But we have a slight problem.
01:10:46What?
01:10:47Flora called in sick.
01:10:49And she can't do the opening solo.
01:10:52So...
01:10:53Don't say it.
01:10:54I need you.
01:10:57Stanley, I can't.
01:11:02I got a packed house out there, and you're the best singer I have.
01:11:05I am not.
01:11:06A lead.
01:11:08But you should have been.
01:11:09Should have been.
01:11:11You fought being the lead every step of the way.
01:11:16Because we all have a part to play.
01:11:19How many years have I known you?
01:11:20Too many.
01:11:23Well, this I know.
01:11:25You were born to do this solo.
01:11:31Please say yes.
01:11:37Take a few minutes.
01:11:40Hope it's okay we came back to say hi.
01:11:42We wanted to wish you the best for the show.
01:11:44Of course.
01:11:45Oh, and thank you for the beautiful flowers.
01:11:49Did I hear solo?
01:11:52I can't do it.
01:11:57Um, Julia.
01:12:01I just want to let you know how impressed we have been with you.
01:12:06The fact that you've accomplished everything you have, and you did it on your own.
01:12:11Now you're here.
01:12:13It's your time to shine.
01:12:16We'll see you on stage.
01:12:18Whatever you decide to do.
01:12:23Hey.
01:12:27Thank you for that.
01:12:40I think Sarah really appreciated what you said to Julia.
01:12:43It meant every word.
01:12:45Don't let this slip through your fingers.
01:12:49Love is fleeting.
01:12:50I learned that the hard way with your mother.
01:12:53She said it wasn't the right time, so.
01:12:56And you're going to let that stop you from trying?
01:13:10Hello everyone, welcome to the Operetta Theater.
01:13:13One of the oldest theaters in Hungary.
01:13:17And tonight, it's going to be the stage for the city's first ever Broadway revival.
01:13:25I left Budapest as a young boy, and it is my honor to be back.
01:13:32Bringing you my passion.
01:13:35Broadway.
01:13:37Thank you, and thank you all for helping me make this possible.
01:13:54Hello everyone.
01:14:01I'm more than a little surprised to be standing here on my own tonight.
01:14:05It certainly wasn't the plan.
01:14:07Wasn't Stanley.
01:14:10The song I'll be singing is a love song.
01:14:14But it's also a song about possibilities.
01:14:18If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:25If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:28If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:31If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:34If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:37If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:40If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:43If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:46If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:49If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:51If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:54If you're willing to open your heart.
01:14:57If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:00If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:03If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:06If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:09If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:12If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:15If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:18If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:21If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:24If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:27If you're willing to open your heart.
01:15:48You were amazing!
01:15:51Did you see how much the audience loved you?
01:15:56You did it.
01:16:00It felt good.
01:16:03It felt really, really good.
01:16:09Of course it did.
01:16:11Born to be a star.
01:16:14Stanley.
01:16:17You ready to party?
01:16:20Oh, I am so ready for that glass of wine.
01:16:27Hey, um, where's Jack?
01:16:30I felt really bad about how things were left with you two.
01:16:33Oh.
01:16:36Oh.
01:16:38Is he coming to the after party?
01:16:41I don't think so. He went back to the ship.
01:16:44He really likes you, Sarah.
01:16:47I hope you two can make it work.
01:16:50You've made my son really happy.
01:16:53And I would love to see you back in Connecticut.
01:16:56I'd like that too.
01:16:59Good luck with whatever you decide.
01:17:03Thank you, Andre.
01:17:09Oh.
01:17:25Is this the one you told me about?
01:17:28Yeah. Betty.
01:17:31This is Stanley.
01:17:34Oh, please. No introduction needed.
01:17:36You two are a legend.
01:17:39No, you are. You are.
01:17:42Thank you. You're a Broadway fan, I take it.
01:17:45Oh, he's our amazing Broadway fan.
01:17:48We'll see you in a bit.
01:17:51So what's your favorite musical?
01:17:54One of yours, actually. Take a Bite Out of the Big Apple.
01:17:57Yes.
01:18:00That scene where Tiffany just misses Tom in Times Square.
01:18:03And then they meet again one year later.
01:18:06It's on Long Island, in the bakery. It is just so good.
01:18:09Where are you from, Betty?
01:18:12Pittsburgh. Culturally, a long way from New York.
01:18:15Well, I'm from Hungary, so that makes two of us.
01:18:18I'm so excited that you're going to be doing more of these concerts.
01:18:21You know, I heard such great things about the cruise from Julia.
01:18:26I booked myself on the next one.
01:18:29Well then, we're going to be seeing each other. I'm on it too.
01:18:32Seriously?
01:18:34Well, I've taken a lot of cruises.
01:18:37I have a feeling it could be the best one yet.
01:18:40Oh, Stanley. That's my line.
01:18:53I'm sorry, honey.
01:18:56It's okay, Mom. I mean, we met on a cruise.
01:19:00We didn't even talk about liking each other until last night.
01:19:02What did I think was going to happen?
01:19:05Don't be too disappointed.
01:19:07Oh, Mom.
01:19:09Why don't you go and enjoy yourself?
01:19:12Have fun. You deserve it.
01:19:14Sure. Yes.
01:19:16I'm just going to pop back to the boat and pack, though. Okay?
01:19:18Oh, sure. Okay.
01:19:20I'll see you later.
01:19:21Bye.
01:19:30Jack.
01:19:32You came.
01:19:34I wasn't going to leave without saying goodbye.
01:19:37I've learned one really important thing on this cruise.
01:19:40It's never leave anything unresolved.
01:19:43What does that mean?
01:19:45It means I don't care if you work 24-7.
01:19:47I don't care if you work weekends.
01:19:49You can run the company if you want.
01:19:51But I know one thing.
01:19:54I want this.
01:19:56I'm so glad you said that.
01:19:59Because when I realized you left the theater, my heart just...
01:20:02sunk.
01:20:04And in that moment, I knew...
01:20:07I want this, too.
01:20:13You walk into a room and I can't help but smile.
01:20:16There's a million things I could say to you right now,
01:20:18but the one thing I want to say...
01:20:20is I just want to be with you.
01:20:24I want to be around you, too.
01:20:26And I decided something today.
01:20:28If I'm telling my mom to get out on that stage
01:20:31when she's panicking on the inside
01:20:33and she does it in the most beautiful and eloquent way,
01:20:36then I better have the courage to do the same.
01:20:40What does that mean?
01:20:44I'm saying goodbye to Patricia and Stephen.
01:20:46I'm saying goodbye to Patricia and starting my own company.
01:20:50Thank you for believing in me.
01:20:53I'm so proud of you.
01:21:06Best cruise ever.
01:21:08It really is, isn't it?
01:21:13Until next time,
01:21:14safe travels home.
01:21:19Oh, hello.
01:21:21It was so nice to have you on board.
01:21:23We hope you enjoyed your stay.
01:21:25Just so great to have this time with Sarah
01:21:27and to meet Jack and Andre.
01:21:29We like to think our cruises inspire our passengers
01:21:31to help build new relationships.
01:21:34Well, this trip is exactly what I needed,
01:21:36and we certainly created a wonderful friendship.
01:21:39And Jack and Sarah?
01:21:41They totally owe us for this.
01:21:42Oh, that's for sure.
01:21:44By the way, where are they?
01:21:47Good question.
01:21:51You know, I have to come back once a year,
01:21:53back where it all started.
01:21:55Someone's confidence.
01:21:57When you find the one.
01:22:06Gotta get going.
01:22:09There's one more thing I want to do.
01:22:10What's that?
01:22:16Patricia,
01:22:18I'm quitting.
01:22:21No, quitting, not quilting.
01:22:24It's saying quilting.
01:22:26You can do both later.
01:22:41Beautiful.
01:22:56Beautiful.
01:23:40foreign
01:24:01my
01:24:10you
