Deney Terrio, the host of Dance USA.
I'm sorry.
In the morning, I woke up and my legs were useless.
- Numb. - Oh, my God.
- I couldn't walk. - Oh, my God.
- Well, surely someone can help you? - Oh, yeah. There is, but...
What?
There's this psychiatrist...
...Doctor Emil Schauffhausen of Liechtenstein.
Why don't you go to him?
A man like Schauffhausen is in demand all over the world.
He gets astronomical fees.
It's just not something I can handle.
What do you mean by astronomical?
$50,000.
That is a lot of money.
- Freddy, are you OK? - Oh, God.
They're dancing. They're dancing!
Freddy, we are going up to my room right now and write to Dr Schauffhausen.
- Oh, God! They're dancing! - Ssh-ssh-ssh.
Oh, take me from this place!
Oh, God!
I wish you hadn't written these things about me.
- You make me sound like a hero. - They're true, aren't they?
Yes. Still, you shouldn't have promised him the money.
Where am I gonna get $50,000?
You leave that to me, Freddy. When the time comes, I promise you, you'll have it.
I'm going downstairs to mail this letter and I'll be right back.
Janet.
Thank you.
Number one! Number one! Number one! Number one!
Dr Schauffhausen!
Dr Emil Schauffhausen!
Dr Schauffhausen!
Dr Emil Schauffhausen!
Hello again!
Are you Dr Schauffhausen?
- Yes, Fraulein. - What a coincidence! This is a miracle!
I just wrote you a letter about someone who needs your help.
Good. I look forward to reading it when I get back to my clinic.
- Auf Wiedersehen. - Uh, what?
Goodbye.
Could I just talk to you for a minute, right now?
Please. I am on my vacation.
But it's about an American Naval Officer, Fred Benson.
You saw him. He was next to you at the roulette table.
- Benson. Benson. - In the wheelchair?
Is he the one who wrote me all those letters?
Something about his fiancée running off with a, uh... dancer.
That's the one! And he's right here in the hotel.
I hate to disturb you while you're on vacation, Doctor...
...but could I just get you to take a look at him?
I'm sorry, Fräu... What is your name?
- Janet Colgate. - Janet. Oh.
I am sorry, Janet, but if I see your friend Benson, I have to see everyone.
I must draw the line somewhere.
- But if it's a matter of money, I... - You haven't given him any money?
Just a bit. For his grandmother's operation.
- Don't give him any more money. - Why?
You see...
...his ego has taken one shattering blow from a woman.
And, if he accepts charity from a woman, that is another blow.
- It makes my work so much harder. - Does that mean you'll see him?
- All right. I'll see him. - That's wonderful!
But remember what I said. No money for him.
If I do decide to take this case, you must pay the fee directly to me.
- You understand? - Absolutely.
All right.
Where is the boy?
Freddy!
Where are you?
Boy, you can really get lost in one of these big places.
I have a wonderful surprise for you.
- What? - Cover your eyes.
- You are a nut! - Go on.
Now, who is the one person in this world, outside of your grandmother...
...that you would like most to see at this moment?
- I give up! Who? - Dr Emil Schauffhausen!
At last we meet, Officer Benson.
After all those letters, I feel that I know you.
- He can't believe it's really you! - Yes, I think that's it.
I am here to help you, my boy.
Great!
Now, let's have a look at those legs, shall we?
So.
You are numb from the waist down?
- Is that correct? - Yes, sir.
Completely numb? No feeling whatsoever?
- That's right. - Mm-hm.
So you won't be feeling Mr Piggy, then, will you?
No.
Tell me if you feel this.
Tickle, tickle, tickle.
- No. - No?
We must try something else.
Something a little more stringent.
Now tell me, do you feel this?
No.
How about...
...that?
- Nothing. - Nothing, hm?
Watch yourself, Janet! Back a little bit.
Thank you.
How about... this?!
Nothing? Hmm.
Any feeling there?
No?
This case intrigues me, Janet.
- I will take Officer Benson as a patient. - Did you hear that, Freddy?
I am renting a villa here. We will move him in, and I will really go to work on him.
Oh, thank you, Doctor. Do you really think you can get him to walk again?
I will have him running, jumping, shouting, screaming...
...or my name isn't Doctor Emil Schauffhausen...
...the Third.
Look, Doctor, he's so happy, he's crying.
Your Highness!
Mrs Reed!
I didn't recognise you for the moment. How wonderful to see you.
- Protector of the Veld. - What a pleasant surprise.
How was your mission to Belahavula?
It was a great success, thanks to you.
I feel so proud.
Mrs Reed, may I present Lady Janet. Lady Janet, this is Mrs Reed.
- How do you do? - Hello.
Your Highness. Your accent.
- I'm travelling incognito. - Oh, I see.
How are the Freedom Fighters?
Oh, Lady Janet is one of us.
Oh, wonderful!
And, uh...
Oh, this is my royal adjutant, General Benson.
- How do you do? - Charmed.
- Your High... - Let's have lunch, Mrs Reed.
- Thank you, Your Highness. - I will telephone you.
Oh, please!
One of my former patients.
Unfortunately, incurable.
Freddy, isn't this beautiful? I can't believe this is really happening.
He's sacrificing his vacation and sharing his villa. This is incredible.
Arthur, this is Miss Colgate. She will be staying at the hotel.
But Officer Benson will be staying with us.
Please don't worry. You are close to my room.
I shall keep my eyes on you night and day.
May I show you the villa? It has a fascinating history.
Welcome to hell.
This is so beautiful.
Janet, we haven't discussed my fee yet.
It will be $50,000.
- Yes, I'll have to call my father. - I wish I could make it lower...
...but the clinic would never allow that. - Oh, I understand.
- Let me show you the rest of the villa. - OK.
- What about Freddy? - Freddy, go to your room.
I'd like to come upstairs, too.
Of course you would. Come on!
- But he can't! - Yes, he can. It's all in his mind.
- It seems so cruel. - Trust me. I'm a doctor.
First, I will show you the music room.
Oh, my goodness.
- Isn't this beautiful? - Mm.
I love all these old musical instruments.
This music box. This is my favourite.
Listen.
In the old days, people used to dance to this.
Come.
Freddy!
I heard the music... and I pulled myself up the stairs.
And then I saw you and him...
...dancing!
The more he sees us dance, the more he will get used to it.
Ohhh!
It's awful to see us like this, isn't it?
Janet, you're right.
Now he can't see us.
- This is terrible. - No pity.
I know this is difficult...
...but it is only through our strength that Freddy will find his.
I have a splendid day planned for Freddy.
But I need your help for his therapy to be successful.
- You will sit here. - Thank you.
I will sit here...
...and Freddy will sit there.
Uh-huh.
Sir, Officer Benson is not in his room. I found this on the bed.
Thank you, Arthur.
What? What does it say?
"I've lost hope. Please see that my grandmother gets my insurance...
...and, if my body's washed ashore...
...that my remains are cremated and tossed over the Suwannee River. "
He's gonna drown himself!
There he is, Doctor!
Sit down. Sit down.
It's a bluff to gain sympathy.
Pretend to enjoy yourself. Laugh out loud.
Louder.
Would you like some strawberries?
He's looking. Keep laughing.
Excuse me, sir. The man is here with your satellite dish.
What satellite dish?
I'll be right back.
What would I want with a satellite dish?
Freddy!
I'm out of control!
I'm out of control! Oh, my God! Oh!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Freddy! Freddy!
Freddy! No!
Freddy, stop, please!
Janet, don't make me crawl around you. This sand is too hot.
- Then just stop where you are. - And then what?
When you're not looking, I will come down here, and I will do it right!
Then I'm not going to leave you.
I'm going to get Dr Schauffhausen.
Janet. Janet! Janet!
Not him. He hates me. He's trying to torture me.
He doesn't hate you.
He may seem strict, but he's just trying to help you.
Don't make me go back there. Can't we just stay here a little bit longer? Please?
Well...
Mm-hm!
Just as I thought.
I'm sorry I was so depressed this morning.
It's just that last night, I had a dream about her.
Ohh!
I remember...
...how I used to stare at her...
...and just sit and touch her face, like this.
- That is so sweet. - She was the first girl I ever kissed.
Really?
And now...
...I will probably never kiss another girl for the rest of my life.
Freddy, that is ridiculous!
You are an attractive and exciting and sensitive man.
I'm sure there are a million women who would love to kiss you.
I wanna ask you a question, and I want you to be completely honest with me.
OK.
Am I attractive and exciting to you?
Miss Colgate!
May I talk to you, please?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Janet, I am dropping this case.
Oh, no, please don't. I know I shouldn't have done it.
It's just that I felt so sorry for him.
You heard that awful story about his girlfriend and the dancer.
- How did that make you feel? - It made me physically sick.
Then please help him! Please, please, please!
- All right. I will. - Thank you.
But, Janet, we must hide our pity.
You and I must be his role model.
We must enjoy ourselves so much...
...that Freddy will want to jump out of the wheelchair and join us.
I'll try, Doctor, but it won't be easy.
I will be there to help you.
How much of this can he stand?
Don't show any pity. Look happy. Enjoy yourself.
- Are you sure? - Yes. Come, come.
Isn't she fabulous? Wouldn't you like to dance with her?
What's stopping you? Get out of that chair and dance with the girl!
OK. If you just want to sit there and miss all the fun.
Oi! Oi, mate!
- Who's the arsehole? - "Get up and dance" he says.
I'd like to smack him one.
I wouldn't mind so much, but she used to be my girl.
If I could just get her alone, I think I could have a chance.
But he's always around.
I have another idea. It was love that put him in that chair.
Perhaps love could get him out.
Would you mind if I gave you a little kiss?
- Well, if you think that it would help. - Yes, I think it would help.
- OK. - Right.
- That piece of shit! - What do you reckon?
Hey! Oi!
There's a transport plane leaving for Honduras at one o'clock.
How'd you like your friend to be on it?
- Good night, Freddy. - I'll be right back. Think happy thoughts.
Doctor, do you think that the therapy is working?
- Yes, I am terribly pleased. - Good!
I'm sorry about the delay in paying your fee. I should have it by tomorrow.
It took longer than I thought it would to raise the money.
- You had to raise the money? - The cash prize wasn't quite enough...
...so I had my father sell off the car and the furniture and all the jewellery.
- What cash prize? - From the contest.
You know, I was selected as the United States Soap Queen.
That's why I'm on this all-expense-paid trip to Europe.
Your father doesn't own the United States Soap Company?
No! I just use their laundry detergent.
You see, I entered their contest and then I won.
You barely know Freddy... but you'd sell everything you owned for him?
Well, it's not everything. I'm keeping the mink. Is that wrong?
Besides, knowing I helped a man like Freddy be able to live his life again...
...is worth more to me than the car or the furniture or all the jewellery.
I really couldn't ask for a better prize than that.
I never knew that people like you existed.
You are generous, sincere.
You are... You are wonderful.
Thank you.
Well... good night.
Good night.
Freddy, get it into your head. The bet's off. She hasn't got the money.
It sounds like you're trying to get out of the bet.
If you're trying to get out of it, fine. Then you lose and you leave town.
- But she has the money. - Only by selling everything she owns.
Come on! She's keeping the mink.
If we take her for everything, she still ends up with a very nice mink.
Freddy, the women I deal with are carefully screened.
They're wealthy and corrupt. I never take advantage of the poor or the virtuous.
All right. We'll forget about the money, but the bet is still on.
- We'll think up a new bet. - All right. What is the bet?
- A completely new bet. - Yes, well, think of one.
We'll make her the bet.
What do you mean?
What do you think I mean?
First one to get her into bed.
Don't you ever have an emotion that originates above the waist?
No!
Let me tell you something, Freddy. This is for certain.
A woman like Janet would never give herself to a man like you.
What? What?!
You actually believe that?
- I know that, Freddy. - You wanna bet?
All right, Freddy, I'll bet. But I'm not competing to win.
I'm just betting that you fail.
- Loser leaves town. - Loser leaves town.
I say. I say!
- What d'you want? - You're blocking my gate.
See the captain. He's in the back of the truck.
Now, look here.
- This is private property, you know. - Just see the captain in the back.
Captain! Which one of you is...
- Will you be all right? - Oh, yeah. She said she'd meet me here.
Wish me luck!
Freddy! I thought Dr Schauffhausen took you home?
Yeah, well, he did. I... couldn't sleep.
I have to talk to you, Janet.
Well, come in.
I was thinking about what Dr Schauffhausen told me.
That I could walk again if the desire was strong enough?
Yes, he told me the same thing.
Janet...
...I think you're the only person in the world who can give me that desire.
Well... what do you mean?
I love you...
...and I think I could walk again if I thought you loved me, too.
Oh, Freddy.
But... I still have this terrible fear.
- What fear? - That my feelings won't be returned.
Oh, but your feelings will be returned...
...because I think I love you, too, Freddy.
And you will walk.
- Here. - What are you doing?
Now, stand up and walk to me.
- No! - Come on! You can do it!
- You won't disappoint me? - No, I won't disappoint you.
Stand up and walk to me. Please, Freddy, just try!
Come on!
Come on. Let go!
Oh! Agh! Oh!
I'm standing.
I'm standing!
Yes. Now walk to me!
- You won't let me down? - No, I won't let you down!
That's it. That's it.
Oh, God. You're doing it!
- Do you wanna rest? - No, no, I wanna keep trying.
Go over there. Go stand over there!
- Here? - By the bed! I wanna see how far I can go!
Here?
- Here? - Yeah!
Walk to me!
- I... I'm still afraid. - Oh, don't be afraid.
- Don't you wanna kiss me? - Yeah!
If you come over here, I will prove that I love you.
- You'll prove it? - Come on. Come on.
You can do it. Come on. Take a step!
- That's it! I knew you could do it! - I'm walking!
Ah! I made it! I made it!
Yes, Freddy! You made it!
And all because...
...of your... love.
Our love, Freddy.
We all love you.
It's moments like this that make being a doctor worthwhile.
Oh, no wonder they call you a genius! You said he'd come here tonight and he did!
You said that he would walk and he did!
Freddy, I'm beginning to believe this man can really perform miracles.
I'm beginning to believe it, too.
- How the hell did you get off that plane? - I never got on it.
- There were six sailors in that truck. - Seven sailors, Freddy.
I am a Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve.
You think you got me. This is just the beginning.
Now I am really going to turn on the charm.
No, you're not, Freddy. I am taking her to the airport in the morning.
You failed. And I'm making sure she gets as far away from you as possible.
Oh, yeah? And how do you plan on getting her to the airport...
...without Freddy Benson on you like glue? What are you doing?
Hey, look who's here!
Oh, yes. And he can walk, just like the man said he could.
Oi, guys! Have a look at this.
Hi!
Hey, would you take care of my friend till I get back?
There's plenty more food and champagne to come.
- But couldn't I just call Freddy? - No. Trust me in this matter.
But I think that maybe I love him and that maybe he loves me, I think.
And now that he's cured...
Then it's even more important for you to go away for a couple of weeks.
- If a man loves you, he will follow you. - But how do I know...
Trust me this one last time.
All right.
But what about your fee?
You do what I tell you, and you can keep the fee.
- You're kidding! - Yes.
You're wonderful.
- Will you tell Freddy I said goodbye? - Of course.
Thanks.
Bye.
- Hello, mate. - Hello.
- Thanks, mate. - All right.
Yee-ha!
Did that really happen? I don't believe that!
Listen, I gotta go. Take care. See ya.
- Great guy! - Bye.
Well, you seem to be having a very nice time.
I had a great time.
Could you hand me that superglue solvent, please?
I was on that wall for six hours.
God. Jesus!
- Well, Freddy, it's over. - What's over?
See that plane? There goes your bet.
Janet's on it.
Have the honour to admit it, Freddy. You've lost.
Go and see for yourself. She's gone.
Have a safe trip and a prosperous career.
Auf Wiedersehen.
Merci.
Janet!
Janet, it's me, Freddy!
Janet!
I lost.
Freddy!
- You're here! - Hi.
I know the doctor said it might endanger your recovery, but I had to see you.
You see, I really am in love with you.
Really?
- You actually love me? - Mm-hm.
Now that you're walking, do you think that you can... well...
I can try.
You may not believe this, but I haven't had very much experience.
- Me either. - Could you close the drapes?
Sure.
And... shut the door.
Yeah.
It's Andre, sir.
Thank you.
- Hello, Andre. What a lovely morning. - Monsieur Jamieson?
- Are you lying down? - What?
Miss Colgate was seen returning to the hotel.
- But I took her to the plane. - Then somebody took her off.
- Where's Freddy? - The Jackal is with Miss Colgate now.
They have been together in her room, with the curtains drawn.
Oh. And for how long?
Oh, not long. But long enough. It is a disaster.
It seems the teacher has underestimated the student.
We must accept defeat graciously.
Now I will prepare myself for the Jackal.
I'm sure he'll be over here soon to gloat over his victory.
Thank you, my old friend.
Janet!
Janet. What is the matter?
I know what you said, but I just had to see him again.
You see, I... I thought I was in love with him.
- What? - I went back to see him and...
- And? - And...
We made love and...
I tried to please him, but how could I have known?
And then what happened was I fell asleep, and when I woke up, he was gone.
He took all my money. My mink, my jewellery, my traveller's cheques.
Even my little change purse.
What kind of a man would do something like that?
And do you know what else? I'm beginning to think that he could walk.
That he pretended this whole thing just to get to me and my money.
It was all my savings, the prize money. Everything.
$50,000!
Janet, I told you I'd waive my fee.
It had already gotten here. I had it in my purse.
What am I gonna say to my father? Some of the money was his.
Arthur!
Yes, sir?
I want you to phone Andre and tell him to find Officer Benson.
It seems he has stolen some of Miss Colgate's property.
I shall be at the airport.
Janet, I am going to cover your losses.
You and your father will get your $50,000 back...
...and I am putting you on the next plane.
And this time, I will make sure you are on it.
But you're not responsible. How could you have known?
Any good psychiatrist would have known he was a charlatan.
Come. In any case, it's cheaper than a malpractice suit...
...which I am sure you would win.
- I can't take your money. - You can, and you will. Take it.
Janet, come on.
- You change planes in Paris. - OK.
I don't feel good about taking your money.
I feel good about it.
It has been so great to meet you, I...
If you're ever in Cleveland, will you call me?
I will.
Goodbye.
Janet!
Have a good flight.
Thank you!
I can't take this. It doesn't belong to me.
And I'll always have something from you that means much more!
Bye!
Goodbye!
Monsieur Jamieson! I caught him at the hotel, at the scene of the crime.
What crime? What is this guy talking about?
Listen, Freddy. This time, she really is on that plane.
- And you can't harm her again. - You let her go? You gotta stop her!
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hold it! Hold it!
Come back! Hey, hey, hey!
Hold it!
You idiot! You let her go!
You slept with her, but you didn't have to steal her money.
Steal her money? I didn't! She stole from me.
I'm about to win the bet and she says "Close the drapes. " I close them.
"Close the door. " I close it. "Would you mind taking a shower?" I took a shower.
When I come out, she's gone. My clothes, my wallet and my watch are gone.
She even took the 2,000 francs she gave me!
Do you expect me to believe that when she's returned the $50,000 I gave her?
- What $50,000? - The $50,000 you stole from her.
I didn't steal $50,000 from her!
Hey, there's my clothes.
"Hello, boys. It was fun. "
"I'll miss you. Love, Janet. The Jackal. "
"PS. I'm keeping the money. Is that wrong?"
Of all the lousy...
She is disgusting!
She is lying! She is deceitful! She is two-faced!
She is conniving and she is dishonest!
Yes.
Isn't she wonderful?
Arthur.
I'm sorry I broke your VHS player. Give me the model number.
- When I'm settled, I'll send you a cheque. - Oh, shut up.
Well, thanks for letting me stay the extra week.
I kind of had it figured from the beginning. J, Janet. J, Jackal.
If you think about it, it's obvious.
When do you think she was onto us?
From the beginning, Freddy.
She was onto us from the very beginning.
She was perfect.
So, uh... what are you gonna do now?
Well, things are going to be quiet around here now.
The season's over.
Autumn's coming.
I'll be shutting up part of the house.
Well...
...goodbye.
Goodbye, Freddy.
Wait a minute, everybody. Wait a minute! Can you hang on?
Hold it, hold it, hold it! Excuse me, hold it!
Excuse me! Excuse me.
Hello there, my darlings. There you are!
God, are you kidding me with this gravel? These heels weren't made for this.
Hey! Hello! We made it. Could youse get the bags up here pronto?
Yeah, thank you.
Now, first, intros.
Nikos. Nikos, get over here.
- Nikos, come here! - All right, Paula.
Come on, everybody. I want you to meet Mr Big Stuff.
I was showing Nikos property in Florida.
He goes "I wanna invest my 16 million bucks someplace new. "
I say "Where?" He goes "How about Australia?"
And then it hits me. Boom! Australia, are you kidding me?
We gotta go meet Mr Australia himself! He goes "Why not?" I go "Why not?"
- Pretty soon, the whole group goes... - "Why not?"
So here we are.
So, Nikos Papandropolous, I'd like you to meet the favourite son of Australia...
...Chips O'Toole.
Well, aren't you gonna say anything?
G'day, Nikos. How's it goin', sport? Good on ya, cobber.
Chips O'Toole. Hotels and oil from down under.
Do you still have any situations available in Sydney?
No, it's all gone, Paula.
Never mind, Nikos. People drop out, don't they?
Anyway, come on up to the house. We'll put some shrimps on the barbie for ya.
Hey, I almost forgot somebody!
Mr Junior Partner. The man Chips can't do without.
The whiz kid. Randy Bentwick.
Unfortunately, Randy is a mute.
All right, everybody get on up to the house for a drink.
You wanna refresh those cocktails, don't you?
The ice is melting. Hurry, hurry.
Go on up! Follow the path around the house.
Keep going! That's it, keep going!
I'll be right up there.
Fellas, last year I made $3 million.
But your 50,000 was the most fun.
Are you ready?
Then let's go get 'em.
