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