00:00:00Start with one of the oldest cities in Bavaria.
00:00:03We hope you enjoy your cruise on the Emerald Sun.
00:00:06I shouldn't have agreed to do this show.
00:00:07Stanley wouldn't have asked if he didn't think you could do it.
00:00:09He's a good friend.
00:00:11Who happens to be one of the biggest Broadway producers?
00:00:13You're on vacation, remember?
00:00:15I'll just be a minute.
00:00:19Trisha, hi!
00:00:20The contract has been sent out, but I'm sensing hesitation on their part.
00:00:24Why?
00:00:25They're an old school tour company, Sarah.
00:00:28Your pitch is too modern for their taste.
00:00:30With these apps and all these small wellness groups.
00:00:33They'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 for.
00:00:44Yes, of course. Understood.
00:00:47Does that woman ever give you a break?
00:00:49Can't you just put that on airplane mode?
00:00:51Mom, then I'll be out of office to out of work in three, two, one, fired.
00:00:59Welcome aboard.
00:01:00I'm Teddy, your cruise director.
00:01:02Hello.
00:01:03Feel free to ask any questions about the cruise.
00:01:05Oh, thank you, Teddy.
00:01:07I'm Sarah Matthews. This is my mother, Julia.
00:01:09Hello.
00:01:10We're with the theater group.
00:01:11Ah, our passengers are so excited.
00:01:14It's actually sold out.
00:01:16Are our rooms ready yet?
00:01:18Your cabins are ready.
00:01:20I have you in 205.
00:01:23And there's a walk-in tour of Passau today at three, if you would like to join.
00:01:27I'm sure Sarah would love to join the walk-in tour.
00:01:30I 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, 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, Eric.
00:02:08Yeah, I know, I know, but there's just so much to see and do, you know?
00:02:11Tomorrow.
00:02:12Okay. You still want to do dinner?
00:02:14Early seating?
00:02:16Yeah, we can do early seating.
00:02:19Hi, I'm Betty Stevenson.
00:02:21Julia Matthews. Nice to meet you.
00:02:23Julia Matthews, as in Broadway.
00:02:26Yes. I'm surprised you know who I am.
00:02:29Oh, I've seen every Broadway musical, from the Palace to the New Amsterdam Theater and everything in between.
00:02:35Please tell me that you're here for the Broadway revival.
00:02:38Yes, yes, I am.
00:02:40Wonderful.
00:02:41Thank you so much.
00:02:45Yes, yes, I am.
00:02:47Wonderful.
00:02:48And what brings you to the Danube?
00:02:51Oh, I've been on this floating palace for over a year.
00:02:54They can't get rid of me.
00:02:57The usual.
00:03:00Okay, going to do the final review now, period. We'll send over in 20 minutes.
00:03:07Minutes.
00:03:09Minutes.
00:03:10Come up with minutes.
00:03:11Minutes, minutes. Okay.
00:03:13Okay, and set.
00:03:16Oh, seriously?
00:03:20Oh, come on.
00:03:24Come on.
00:03:26I'm sorry.
00:03:27Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:03:30No, I love the dance moves. Our planned fishing expedition. Couldn't think about which one.
00:03:35The internet is really spotty here.
00:03:38Well, it's a good thing that cell phones are banned.
00:03:40Seriously?
00:03:42No, but they should be. It's just, it's vacation. No phone zone.
00:03:46Deadlines are unavoidable.
00:03:49I take it you don't know where the business center is?
00:03:51I'm afraid I don't. Probably won't find out.
00:03:54I'm Jack.
00:03:56Wilson.
00:03:58Sarah Matthews.
00:03:59Nice to meet you.
00:04:00You too.
00:04:01We can talk typos later.
00:04:07Maybe.
00:04:09That made no sense.
00:04:15Having been destroyed by the great fire in 1662,
00:04:19Kosovo was rebuilt by Italian architects who infused the city with a baroque Italian flair.
00:04:25So, feel free to say hello to Kosovo.
00:04:32So, you're on this tour, but you're not really, like, on the tour.
00:04:36Oh, the vacation place are back.
00:04:39You still trying?
00:04:40No, you know what? I'm almost ready to give up.
00:04:48What 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, I could try and enjoy my first vacation in two years.
00:05:15Well, since we're no longer on tour, um, 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.
00:05:47All sent.
00:05:49Congratulations.
00:05:50Thanks.
00:05:51Cheers.
00:05:52Oh, cheers. Thank you.
00:05:56So, how'd you and your mom pick the Daniel?
00:05:58Oh, my mom is in a Broadway revival show in Budapest.
00:06:01Really? She's a singer?
00:06:03Yes.
00:06:04Would I have heard of her?
00:06:05Um, probably not.
00:06:07She was always just in the chorus on Broadway.
00:06:09Okay. And where is she now?
00:06:11Mmm, taking a nap.
00:06:13But I think it's more nerves, though.
00:06:15She hasn't performed in years.
00:06:18She 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 and me to, uh, stop pushing him to get out more.
00:06:27Ah, well, it looks like we are in the same boat.
00:06:31Yeah.
00:06:33So, um, why the Daniel for you?
00:06:36He's a European history buff, and it's his birthday, and I wanted to surprise him.
00:06:41Been struggling a little bit. Mom passed a couple years ago.
00:06:45Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:06:48Where are you from?
00:06:50We live in Fairfield, Connecticut, so...
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:54I live in Stamford, and my mom lives in Westport.
00:06:56Oh.
00:06:57Yeah.
00:06:58Serious?
00:06:59Yeah. Yeah, we moved out of the city a little while ago.
00:07:01My dad also passed away, and, um, we needed a fresh start.
00:07:06Sorry to hear that.
00:07:07Thank you. It's been a really rough go for my mom.
00:07:10She hasn't quite been herself.
00:07:13You know, he's a bit of a music lover, and since we live in the same area and we're out here, do you want to maybe...
00:07:19Oh, yeah.
00:07:20Yeah?
00:07:21We should definitely introduce them.
00:07:23Yeah, maybe it'll get her mind off the show and get her to stop focusing on my work.
00:07:28We could use a friendly buffer.
00:07:30Like a distraction?
00:07:32A devious date.
00:07:33Oh.
00:07:34Ideas?
00:07:36Any chance you're having dinner on the ship tonight?
00:07:39We are.
00:07:40First seating?
00:07:41Oh, my mom thinks the real party starts before sunset.
00:07:44Yes, and he's angry that we don't get the early bird special, even though it's all on cruise.
00:07:53Okay.
00:08:01You ready?
00:08:03Yeah.
00:08:05Mom.
00:08:06Mm-hmm?
00:08:07We're going to a restaurant, not snowshoeing.
00:08:10You know, I get cold in air-conditioned restaurants, and this is my favorite outfit.
00:08:13This is vintage Halston. I love it.
00:08:15No.
00:08:16Oh. And since when do you care so much about what I'm wearing?
00:08:20You just never know when you might meet someone.
00:08:22When am I going to meet?
00:08:23I just mean that, you know, meet all sorts of people on cruises.
00:08:27Yeah.
00:08:29You look beautiful, Mom.
00:08:30With the button on.
00:08:32Even with the button on.
00:08:36Good.
00:08:37Great. Let's go.
00:08:39Hey.
00:08:40Oh, 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.
00:08:46Plus, you never know when you might meet someone.
00:08:48Meet someone?
00:08:49What is this, the love boat?
00:08:52Well, it is now.
00:08:54Thank you very much.
00:08:58Hi, Sarah.
00:08:59Hey, Jack.
00:09:01You look great.
00:09:02Oh, thank you. So do you, Jack.
00:09:05You two know each other?
00:09:06We met on the tour today.
00:09:08Andre, Sarah, Sarah.
00:09:10It'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.
00:09:22Small world.
00:09:24Well, very nice to meet you both.
00:09:26You too.
00:09:32We don't want to keep you.
00:09:34We should get to our table, huh?
00:09:35Sure.
00:09:37This way, everyone, please.
00:09:39It's just us.
00:09:41We only have tables of four left.
00:09:44Those are reserved, I'm afraid.
00:09:46I hope you don't mind dining together.
00:09:48Not at all.
00:09:49No, that's great.
00:09:51To new friends.
00:09:52Cheers.
00:10:00This is good.
00:10:01So, Andre.
00:10:02What is it that you do?
00:10:03I'm a retired math teacher.
00:10:05Oh, math.
00:10:06My worst subject. I'm more right-brained.
00:10:08Oh, but Andre likes music too, right?
00:10:12I ran the marching band program.
00:10:14Oh, how fun!
00:10:15His band played in the Thanksgiving Day Parade every year.
00:10:18Oh, I must have seen you then.
00:10:20And do you get to many Broadway musicals being so close to town?
00:10:25I'm more into plays.
00:10:27Julie sang on Broadway.
00:10:28She's actually performing on this trip.
00:10:30I'm sorry.
00:10:31It's okay. Not everyone's into show tunes.
00:10:34Sarah, however, is an accomplished pianist.
00:10:37Is that right?
00:10:38Well, I don't play much anymore.
00:10:40She's very, very good.
00:10:45What do you do, Jack?
00:10:47I run a local paper in Easton.
00:10:50The one that did the expose on the chemical plant?
00:10:52That was my piece. I 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?
00:11:02I love how small newspapers bring people together.
00:11:05They can be real advocates for change.
00:11:07I agree. They are the backbone of the community.
00:11:10Hmm. Well said.
00:11:13How's everyone's wine? Do you like it?
00:11:15Oh, it's really good.
00:11:17I'd actually like a whiskey.
00:11:19Excuse me.
00:11:21Oh! Oh, my goodness! Mom!
00:11:23No, no, no. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good.
00:11:25It's okay. It's okay.
00:11:27You know what? I think I am going to go get the stay now.
00:11:29I'm so sorry.
00:11:30It's okay. It's okay. I'm good.
00:11:32I'm going to go back, though, and get the stay now.
00:11:34Okay?
00:11:35I'll come with you.
00:11:36No, no, no. I'll order room service. You stay. You stay.
00:11:38You 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.
00:11:50It's okay.
00:11:54That was messy.
00:11:57That's what I try cleaners for.
00:11:59I'm not talking about the coat.
00:12:03It's our first date.
00:12:05First dinner.
00:12:06Dinner?
00:12:08You mean disaster.
00:12:11I guess when you haven't gone out with anyone in a really long time, you just get...
00:12:15It takes a little time to warm up.
00:12:20We can do this.
00:12:22I think so.
00:12:25Let the romance reboot.
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?
00:12:50I spilled wine on someone.
00:12:53Please. That's nothing.
00:12:55My first night sitting at the captain's table, he was late.
00:12:58And when he came to greet us, I asked him for the menu.
00:13:03It was the uniform. I had no idea.
00:13:06That is better.
00:13:07It's so embarrassing, right?
00:13:11You're funny.
00:13:12And you're smiling.
00:13:14Mission accomplished.
00:13:15Thank you for that.
00:13:17I'm Andre.
00:13:18Betty.
00:13:19Nice to meet you, Betty.
00:13:23Vienna, the city of music.
00:13:26Get ready to waltz through centuries of culture and elegance along the Danube's graceful shores.
00:13:35As the office turns.
00:13:38War work drama?
00:13:39The tour company backed out.
00:13:42Oh. I'm sorry.
00:13:43My boss isn't. She's just mad.
00:13:47A lot was riding on that one.
00:13:49Oh, and please don't tell my mom I snuck out.
00:13:51She thinks I'm in the adjoining massage room right now.
00:13:55Mom'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.
00:14:06You too?
00:14:07Yeah, of course.
00:14:08I mean, Dad and I, we don't see each other as much anymore, but...
00:14:13I don't know. I guess a cruise was going to be interesting. May I?
00:14:16Oh, thank you.
00:14:19Yes, a river cruise is an interesting choice.
00:14:25So, more urgent topic. How's the coat?
00:14:30Perfect excuse to go shopping.
00:14:32That bad?
00:14:33Yes, we have gone from vacation fleas to fashion fleas.
00:14:39For what it's worth, he said he had a great time.
00:14:41Really?
00:14:42After dinner at the bar.
00:14:46Well, better than my mom.
00:14:47She said that she had fun scrubbing her dress because she planned cleaning.
00:14:52Pretty cathartic.
00:14:53Oh.
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?
00:15:07Mom and I love the sound of music.
00:15:09Now, that's up my alley, especially around Christmas time, but his, not so much.
00:15:14What would you say to a Linzer torte baking class?
00:15:17Delicious, but she's allergic to nuts.
00:15:20Oh.
00:15:23She does love carriage rides, though.
00:15:26You wouldn't be down for that. How does she feel about schnitzel?
00:15:30Loves it.
00:15:32Okay, I got it.
00:15:34Old town carriage ride after dinner.
00:15:37Perfect.
00:15:39Yeah, I can spend the day with my mom, get her in the mood.
00:15:43Great.
00:15:44Oh, by the way, if you're shopping, his favorite color's blue, scent lavender.
00:15:48Okay, copy.
00:15:49Oh, oh, oh, and Mom, she loves a man in a dapper hat.
00:15:53You know, just like Frank Sinatra.
00:15:57Yeah, I'm kind of loving this. Are we parent trapping?
00:16:00You know, there was a cruise in that movie, too.
00:16:02There was a cruise.
00:16:04Yeah, yeah.
00:16:05Yeah, yeah, that's my work.
00:16:09Figure strokes.
00:16:23Didn't your massage fix that neck?
00:16:25It's all that typing you do.
00:16:29I didn't see you after in the relaxation room.
00:16:31Oh, no, I went to get a coffee.
00:16:34Can you please put that down?
00:16:38Yeah, yes.
00:16:41So, Mom, I was thinking for later, how about a carriage ride and dinner with Andre and Jack?
00:16:48Again? I barely know them.
00:16:51Oh, well, Andre had fun last night.
00:16:54He did?
00:16:55Yeah, I think he's into you.
00:16:58Really?
00:16:59Mm-hmm.
00:17:02Oh, Mom, this whole outfit would look amazing on you.
00:17:07You could wear it to dinner.
00:17:08We're not going back to the ship.
00:17:10So wear it over the store.
00:17:12It'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. We are interested in this whole outfit.
00:17:21Excellent choice.
00:17:22Oh, no, it's not for me. It's for my mother.
00:17:24I told you, it's for someone younger.
00:17:26You are never too old for style.
00:17:28Right.
00:17:30See?
00:17:31Mm-hmm.
00:17:32Come on, just go try it on.
00:17:33What?
00:17:34It'll be two seconds.
00:17:45So, do you feel like this being your first time in Europe?
00:17:47Like I can't believe it's taking me this long to get to Europe.
00:17:49Oh, Sarah and Julie, they want to do something tonight. They were thinking a carriage ride.
00:17:52Again?
00:17:53I think she's into you.
00:17:54Really? Even after the coat?
00:17:55I'm as shocked as you are.
00:17:58I wanted you to see some stuff in here.
00:17:59Okay.
00:18:00Hello.
00:18:06Sorry, sorry. We're American.
00:18:09We have pork pie hats, top hats, bucket hats.
00:18:13Father and son.
00:18:15Yes, and 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.
00:18:49Guess I'll take it then.
00:18:50Right this way.
00:18:53What are you doing?
00:18:54Don't you just love lavender?
00:18:57I do.
00:19:03Look at us, two guys in a tent.
00:19:05You look like Sinatra in that hat.
00:19:06Thank you very much. I feel like it.
00:19:12I love it.
00:19:15Hey, ladies.
00:19:16Hey.
00:19:18You look beautiful, Julia. Love the blue.
00:19:21Is that lavender you're wearing?
00:19:23Yes, it is. And that hat looks very dapper.
00:19:27So, shall we?
00:19:32Oh, honey, I'd 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 what about dinner?
00:19:51We have your location. We'll meet you there.
00:19:53Have fun, okay?
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.
00:20:09I see you got yourself a little present.
00:20:12I did.
00:20:26SINGING IN LATIN
00:20:57SINGING IN LATIN
00:21:09If that's the look you're going for, yeah, I could work.
00:21:12No, but wait. Didn't we pass that twice already?
00:21:16We did. I asked our driver to take the long route.
00:21:19Give him a little more time.
00:21:20Oh.
00:21:22I like the way you think.
00:21:25I'm also really digging this new look.
00:21:27You like this?
00:21:28Yeah.
00:21:31So 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? Are you not normally close?
00:21:45I was closer with my mom.
00:21:49He 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.
00:21:58When I moved out, things got a little more distant.
00:22:00And after she passed, I really saw him.
00:22:06But you're making the effort now.
00:22:09Like with this cruise.
00:22:10Yes. Yes.
00:22:12Things will get better.
00:22:14I hope so.
00:22:17You and your mom seem very close. That's great.
00:22:19Yeah, we are.
00:22:21It takes effort.
00:22:22And she thinks that I should be working 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?
00:22:37It's all part of my plan.
00:22:38Oh, your plan?
00:22:39Yeah.
00:22:40Yeah, 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.
00:22:51Getting ahead, is that getting in the way of you enjoying yourself?
00:22:55I don't think so.
00:22:56No?
00:22:57No.
00:22:58What do you like to do for fun?
00:23:03I go for a run every morning.
00:23:06You run?
00:23:07For fun.
00:23:09I do.
00:23:10I like it.
00:23:12You need to be a little more adventurous, Sarah.
00:23:16I 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.
00:23:30They'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.
00:23:50Are you excited about your show?
00:23:53I think nervous would be a better word for it.
00:23:57I used to tell my band before big parades,
00:23:59let the music flow from your hearts.
00:24:01We'll touch the souls of everyone who hears this.
00:24:04Lovely.
00:24:05And then just picture them in their underwear.
00:24:10Hey, by the way, I called the restaurant, gave them a credit card,
00:24:13ordered dessert for them.
00:24:14Compliments of that gentleman, of course.
00:24:16Nicely planned.
00:24:21We didn't order that.
00:24:22Compliments of the gentleman.
00:24:23Here we go.
00:24:31Oh, no.
00:24:32What?
00:24:33Apple strudel.
00:24:36Yeah.
00:24:37It's fantastic.
00:24:38Restaurant's famous for it.
00:24:39No, my mom used to make it for my dad every Sunday.
00:24:43Oh.
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.
00:24:56It's 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?
00:25:09Mm-hmm.
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?
00:25:30Nah.
00:25:44I don't know.
00:25:45I don't know.
00:25:46I don't know.
00:25:47I don't know.
00:25:48I don't know.
00:25:49I don't know.
00:25:50I don't know.
00:25:51I don't know.
00:25:52I don't know.
00:25:53I don't know.
00:25:54I don't know.
00:25:55I don't know.
00:25:56I don't know.
00:25:57I don't know.
00:25:58I don't know.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:00I don't know.
00:26:01I don't know.
00:26:02I don't know.
00:26:03I don't know.
00:26:04I don't know.
00:26:05I don't know.
00:26:06I don't know.
00:26:07I don't know.
00:26:08I don't know.
00:26:09I don't know.
00:26:10I don't know.
00:26:11I don't know.
00:26:12I don't know.
00:26:13I don't know.
00:26:19Yeah?
00:26:20Well, I think I'm going to go for my run.
00:26:24There are some excellent trails in Ringstraße, lots of iconic landmarks to take in.
00:26:30Well, that sounds great!
00:26:33And, Teddy, is 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.
00:26:43This isn't my phone.
00:27:10Jack!
00:27:17Hey!
00:27:20Hey!
00:27:23What's going on?
00:27:28I, uh...
00:27:31You don't get this view back in Connecticut, huh?
00:27:35No, you don't.
00:27:38So last night wasn't perfect, huh?
00:27:40Oh, you mean it was the Picasso of imperfection.
00:27:43They did smile, though.
00:27:44True.
00:27:45A little bit.
00:27:46True.
00:27:47Oh, I wanted to tell you, I, uh...
00:27:49I had some flowers sent up to your mom's room.
00:27:51I kind of felt bad, so...
00:27:53I 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. That's true.
00:28:05All right, I vote yes.
00:28:06Okay.
00:28:08But Teddy said there's a day trip to a thermal spa.
00:28:11I thought we could all go.
00:28:12That's like those baths, right?
00:28:14Yeah, I thought it might be relaxing.
00:28:16His idea of relaxing is floating down a river with a koozie.
00:28:20Okay, wait, let me ask my mom.
00:28:24Oh, she's in.
00:28:26She's even going to buy a bathing suit.
00:28:29I'll just surprise her.
00:28:30Oh, yeah, because that worked out so well last night.
00:28:33Yeah.
00:28:35Done with your run, or what?
00:28:36No, I can go a little more.
00:28:45I must say, you do not give up.
00:28:47I know, I'm a bit annoying that way.
00:28:49It's like they...
00:28:50Oh, it's my boss.
00:28:51I'll meet you in an hour?
00:28:53Okay.
00:28:55Hi, Patricia.
00:28:56Sarah.
00:28:57I need you to get me a new account.
00:28:59I know, and I'm sorry.
00:29:01It's just that I've been here with my mom, and it's been a lot to juggle.
00:29:04Juggle this.
00:29:05I don't care if you have to work 24-7.
00:29:07I need something new.
00:29:15Do you think they're going to show up?
00:29:17I don't know.
00:29:22How's your boss?
00:29:24Oh, yeah.
00:29:27She expects everyone to be superhuman like her.
00:29:32So what do you do now?
00:29:34I don't know.
00:29:36All I know is that I haven't worked all these years to strive for mediocrity.
00:29:43What's that mean to you?
00:29:47Not living up to your full potential.
00:29:52Well, it's easy for you to ask that.
00:29:54You are the boss.
00:29:58Yeah, but...
00:30:01I didn't take over the paper to become the boss.
00:30:04I took over to help shape people's lives.
00:30:09Help these writers become writers for the Times or the Journal.
00:30:15I wanted to be different than all the bosses before me.
00:30:19Wow.
00:30:21You sound nothing like mine.
00:30:26Don't get me wrong.
00:30:27I expect excellence from my staff.
00:30:30That said, I also run a pretty laid-back ship.
00:30:35You can't have it all, Sarah.
00:30:51You can't be serious.
00:30:53Uh-uh. This is the quintessential European experience.
00:30:56Sorry, Kent. No bathing suit.
00:30:58Oh, good thing I already brought one for you.
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. Let's go get her.
00:31:20European Kent.
00:31:25Mom? Are you ready?
00:31:27Coming.
00:31:30I thought you were buying a bathing suit.
00:31:32Did you see the suits they were selling? They were like macrame.
00:31:35Oh, my goodness.
00:31:36No, I'm fine like this.
00:31:44Hey!
00:31:46I couldn't use the two-for-one deal with that rope.
00:31:48Instead, I got stuck with pink pineapples.
00:31:51Thank you very much, son.
00:31:53Are they pineapples or palm trees?
00:31:55Are they palm trees? Are they pineapples?
00:31:57Are you guys getting in?
00:31:59Yeah. No.
00:32:01Oh, come on.
00:32:07Nice.
00:32:09You know what that is?
00:32:11This is so soothing. That's what it is.
00:32:13It's the minerals.
00:32:15Hey!
00:32:17Oh, my gosh.
00:32:19Aggressive.
00:32:26Hi.
00:32:28Hey, guys. We were taking a look around.
00:32:30Yeah. You two kids have fun.
00:32:32All 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,
00:32:46but now I'm not so sure.
00:32:49Those flowers that came this morning,
00:32:51they didn't come from you, did they?
00:32:53No.
00:32:55The whiskey?
00:32:59You're lovely, Andre.
00:33:02But I'm just not ready yet.
00:33:05I think you understand.
00:33:08I've been enjoying getting to know you.
00:33:11You're a pretty special woman.
00:33:21You know what's funny?
00:33:23Hmm?
00:33:25They're the ones having a moment.
00:33:27You noticed that, too, huh?
00:33:29I just don't think they realize it.
00:33:31Maybe we could help them.
00:33:33Like a reverse parrot trap?
00:33:35Why not?
00:33:37Why not?
00:33:39I don't think they know what they're in for.
00:33:41I'm playing golf with him when we get back.
00:33:43I haven't done that in, like, a year.
00:33:45That's amazing.
00:33:47I'm excited to see her show.
00:33:49Me, too.
00:33:51So, really, she was a Broadway singer?
00:33:53Yes, she was in the chorus.
00:33:55Wow.
00:33:57But she should have been the lead.
00:33:59Her voice is incredible.
00:34:01Why wasn't she, you think?
00:34:03When I came along,
00:34:05she couldn't do it all.
00:34:07It'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?
00:34:21You ever asked her about it?
00:34:23No. Not directly.
00:34:28Are you always this thoughtful with everyone?
00:34:31No.
00:34:33Just people I really care about.
00:34:39Are you and your dad
00:34:41going on the Schomburg Palace tour?
00:34:43We are.
00:34:45Oh, us, too.
00:34:47Before we go, should we take another dip?
00:34:50Why not?
00:34:52They won't miss us.
00:34:54No.
00:34:56Wow.
00:35:12Wow.
00:35:14This place is stunning.
00:35:20Should we go over to the piano?
00:35:22Yeah, yeah, I'd love to.
00:35:27Wow.
00:35:29You've been there a long time already.
00:35:31It's very cute.
00:35:33You know, after his very first concert here as a kid,
00:35:36at only six years old,
00:35:38Mozart jumped into the lap of the Empress
00:35:40and started hugging and kissing her.
00:35:42Wow.
00:35:44He was a star after that.
00:35:46Imagine life changing in an instant.
00:35:48That moment that you made it.
00:35:51That moment.
00:35:53That moment that you made it.
00:35:58What's that for you?
00:36:02CEO.
00:36:04No.
00:36:06President.
00:36:07Okay.
00:36:08Either one.
00:36:10So kind of like your boss?
00:36:12I mean, you said she's, what, superhuman?
00:36:14Mm-hmm.
00:36:15Does she talk about, like, her kids and her family and stuff?
00:36:18No.
00:36:20But I don't really know her that well.
00:36:22No. Okay.
00:36:24Actually, no one does.
00:36:32Do you want to get a drink?
00:36:34Red or white?
00:36:36Black balls.
00:36:38Oh, there we go.
00:36:45I'll have one of these. Thank you.
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?
00:37:15Long story, but my son and her daughter
00:37:17are trying to set me up with her.
00:37:19She's here for a Broadway show.
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?
00:37:30Mm...
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.
00:37:43You know the wonderful thing about our age?
00:37:46We have nothing but time on our hands.
00:37:50Time to fix our mistakes.
00:37:52Time for second chances.
00:38:05It's beautiful.
00:38:07It's wonderful.
00:38:09Do you ever perform?
00:38:11Piano?
00:38:13Recitals.
00:38:14As a kid.
00:38:16I guess my mom gave me the music gene.
00:38:21I used to find playing the piano so relaxing.
00:38:28You ever think you'd want to get back into it?
00:38:32Maybe I will.
00:38:34Yeah.
00:38:39I wonder where my mom is.
00:38:44Yeah, well, I haven't seen my dad in a while.
00:38:46Well, wherever they are,
00:38:48I'm sure they're together.
00:38:50I'm sure they are.
00:38:54Thank you for walking me back.
00:38:56Oh, you're welcome. I had a blast.
00:38:58Me too.
00:38:59It's Dad's birthday tomorrow,
00:39:01and I booked him that private tour at the National Library,
00:39:03and I was wondering if maybe you and your mom wanted to go.
00:39:06Oh. Are you sure you want us tagging along?
00:39:09Are you kidding me? Your mom's my secret weapon.
00:39:14This cruise is way better than expected,
00:39:16and that's because of you.
00:39:18So thank you.
00:39:20I could say the same to you.
00:39:25Also, I'm going to go for a run tomorrow morning.
00:39:28Want to join me?
00:39:30Since we'll both be there.
00:39:32Yeah, I would.
00:39:34Great.
00:39:35Yeah.
00:39:39Well, yeah, I should go check on my mom.
00:39:41Make sure she's okay.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:45Good night, Sarah.
00:39:47Good night, Jack.
00:40:01Oh, hi, Sarah.
00:40:03Oh, morning, Teddy.
00:40:04You going for a run?
00:40:05Yeah, I'm just waiting for Jack.
00:40:07Actually, 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 meant with you and Jack.
00:40:27Oh, yeah.
00:40:30It's really nice.
00:40:33See ya.
00:40:44Ah.
00:40:46Ah.
00:40:47It never gets old here.
00:40:49And the air feels amazing.
00:40:52The company, too.
00:40:56You 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.
00:41:04I'm all ears.
00:41:07Is that good?
00:41:09Appreciate it.
00:41:14Yeah.
00:41:27This is the 15,000 volume collection of Prince Eugene de Savoy,
00:41:30bound 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.
00:41:39Under 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. You know your European history.
00:41:54Uh-huh.
00:41:56Do 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 had an absolute blast.
00:42:11Thank you very much for this.
00:42:13Of course.
00:42:23Hello.
00:42:25I'm Johanna, and welcome to the music room of our library.
00:42:32We have thousands of pages of sheet music
00:42:35by composers like Beethoven, Mozart,
00:42:39choir books from the 15th century,
00:42:42and, of course, our opera libretto collection.
00:42:45Amazing.
00:42:47And I understand we have a birthday?
00:42:49Uh, yes.
00:42:51Please take a seat.
00:42:57I'm sorry.
00:43:00This is a book with sheet music from the Guggenmusik,
00:43:04which is one of the oldest marching bands in the world
00:43:08and from the Almenach region of Austria.
00:43:20Thanks 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.
00:43:48It was Sarah's idea. We just arranged it.
00:43:55Both of you.
00:44:00How about a photo?
00:44:02Oh, this one's all about father and son.
00:44:05Okay.
00:44:15Love you, son.
00:44:17You too.
00:44:30Good evening, everyone.
00:44:32Thank you for joining my table tonight.
00:44:34Thank you for inviting us.
00:44:36You're welcome.
00:44:38I hear there's a birthday on the ship tonight.
00:44:41Andre?
00:44:43Uh, too much fuss, but thank you.
00:44:46Please raise your glasses to Andre.
00:44:49Happy birthday.
00:44:51Happy birthday, Andre.
00:44:53So, how's everyone enjoying the cruise?
00:44:56Best one yet.
00:44:58You say that every time.
00:45:00Everyone's very excited about the show in Budapest.
00:45:03It's going to be a wonderful evening.
00:45:05Julia is fantastic.
00:45:07Your first show was Woman of the Year,
00:45:10and you played Helga, the German housekeeper.
00:45:13Wow.
00:45:15I can't believe you remembered that.
00:45:17And how I pulled that one off, I'll never know.
00:45:20Now, the main character is a German housekeeper.
00:45:23I'll never know.
00:45:25Now, the main character, Tess,
00:45:27valued her marriage over her career,
00:45:29and yet, at the end, seemed to have somehow had it all.
00:45:33Did you ever play the lead?
00:45:35No, no, only the chorus.
00:45:38Oh, but she should have been the lead.
00:45:40Oh, but I can tell you, the soloist is fantastic.
00:45:43Oh, I would love to hear you sing, Julia.
00:45:45You know, there's a piano in the lounge.
00:45:48Do you think we might be able to
00:45:50maybe get a little sneak preview?
00:45:52I don't know.
00:45:54Oh, come on, Mom.
00:45:56Come on, it could be fun.
00:45:58Sarah could play the piano.
00:46:00Great idea.
00:46:02Yeah, I used to play for my mom
00:46:04when she'd rehearse a new show.
00:46:06That's right, she did.
00:46:08I'm in.
00:46:10All right.
00:46:12One.
00:46:14Bravo!
00:46:23Let's go!
00:46:31Let's go.
00:46:46And it was grand
00:46:48just to stand with his hand
00:46:50his hand holding mine, till the end of the line.
00:47:10Welcome to Dernstein. It's considered to be one of the most beautiful small
00:47:14towns in Austria, home to the country's oldest winery estate.
00:47:202,000 years to the Roman Empire. You know, I once read that men think about
00:47:24the Roman Empire several times a week, but that can't be true.
00:47:28Oh, yeah. Makes total sense. Really? I mean, they built a world-dominating
00:47:32society, and they had gladiators. How cool is that?
00:47:36Alright, you ready to go underground?
00:47:40I'll protect you.
00:47:44Who says I won't protect you? After you.
00:47:50Down here is miles of these tunnels
00:47:54and tens of thousands of bottles. It's really the perfect temperature
00:47:58for wine.
00:48:02Oh, here.
00:48:06Take a picture of me? Got it.
00:48:10Okay.
00:48:14Oh wait, we have something right in here.
00:48:18There.
00:48:22Got it.
00:48:26Wait.
00:48:30You're so disgusting. You want to know something funny?
00:48:34Say cheese. Cheese. I got it the first time.
00:48:38You're ridiculous.
00:48:42I know.
00:48:46Are you feeling better about the show after last night?
00:48:50I should be, but I woke up this morning ready to tell my producer that my
00:48:54house is on fire and I need to go home.
00:48:58You know, Adele once ran down a fire escape so she wouldn't have to perform. Yeah, smart lady, she ran away.
00:49:02And she went on to sell out concerts around the world.
00:49:06I haven't sung on stage in years.
00:49:10My husband Charles never missed a show.
00:49:14You're lucky you had that kind of relationship. You weren't close
00:49:18with your wife? I focused so much on my work
00:49:22and then one day Lucy was gone. My biggest regret
00:49:26was not spending more time with her. Our relationship just faded.
00:49:30I had all that quality time with Charles.
00:49:34He's gone.
00:49:38It gets lonely.
00:49:42You have good memories. A daughter who loves you and a new friend.
00:49:46Yeah, I do.
00:49:50Oh.
00:49:54Wow. My mom and your dad
00:49:58seem so deep in conversation over there.
00:50:02I haven't seen him talk to someone for that long in a long time. Same here.
00:50:06Yeah. My mom never opens up to me like that.
00:50:10Maybe it's just their shared experiences, you know, make it a little easier for him.
00:50:14I think that's part of the reason she's so nervous about the show.
00:50:18My dad not being here. Now she has you.
00:50:26And she's just in the chorus again.
00:50:30Yeah, you've mentioned that a few times about the show. Is that bothering you?
00:50:34Like I said, she didn't realize her dream.
00:50:38Maybe it's something more than that.
00:50:42I guess I feel some guilt
00:50:46that I'm the reason for it.
00:50:50So I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything hold me back.
00:50:54Like having a family?
00:50:58Well,
00:51:02I'd need a husband for that first.
00:51:06You and Jack are getting along nicely.
00:51:10Well, so are you and Andre.
00:51:14We're just friends.
00:51:18What?
00:51:22We know what you two have been up to.
00:51:26We're happy to be friends.
00:51:30But he raised a wonderful son.
00:51:34Sarah, I see the connection between you two.
00:51:38Okay, Mom, we are just friends, too.
00:51:42Yeah, I may be Mom, but I'm not clueless.
00:51:46Oh, Sarah, look at this. This is vintage.
00:51:50It's beautiful, isn't it?
00:51:54Let's get it. No, no, no. I have too many things already. Sorry.
00:51:58Are you sure?
00:52:02Um...
00:52:06Can I ask you something?
00:52:10Do you ever regret not going further in your career?
00:52:14Watching all those other women play leads?
00:52:18A lot of those leads were jealous of what I had.
00:52:22How so?
00:52:26I had it all. I had a family. I had a steady job.
00:52:30I had a good life.
00:52:34I'm so glad you told me that.
00:52:38You know this. No.
00:52:42I always felt like I held you back.
00:52:46I was an independent woman, and having you was the best thing I ever did.
00:52:54I love you.
00:52:58You know you're always a star in my book.
00:53:06Are you going to come to the castle tonight?
00:53:10No. I 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. But I'll see you for dinner, all right?
00:53:18Yeah. Bye.
00:53:28Richard the Lionheart rebelled against his father, Henry II.
00:53:32Another reason to make nice with your dad.
00:53:36True.
00:53:40It's my boss.
00:53:44Do you answer it? Yes, unless I want to be locked in a proverbial tower.
00:53:48Is that the worst that could happen?
00:53:52Probably.
00:53:56I'm not answering it.
00:54:00So that's what it feels like to be your own boss.
00:54:04Absolutely.
00:54:08Oh, it's her again. What's she saying?
00:54:12She says if I don't find a new client,
00:54:16I can kiss that promotion goodbye.
00:54:20Well, as I see it, you have two choices. You can go back to the ship and work,
00:54:24or you can go through that door.
00:54:28Have an amazing day.
00:54:40Wow, look at this place.
00:54:44So you made a pretty good choice.
00:54:48Feels good, yeah.
00:54:52It's cheat day, and we're going to do some cake tasting.
00:54:56Why not? Thank you.
00:55:00Hello. Thanks.
00:55:04Hello.
00:55:08Hello, group. I am Lucas.
00:55:12We have four different kinds of tortes for you to try today.
00:55:16We have the apricot almond torte, the raspberry torte,
00:55:20and the mint chocolate torte.
00:55:24Now, I want your palate to savor every bite, to really feel those flavors, all right?
00:55:28Please.
00:55:32Cheers.
00:55:36All right. Mary Antoinette will be rolling in her grave right now.
00:55:40That's right.
00:55:44Oh, yeah. Lucas, that's it, man.
00:55:48It's not at all.
00:55:52Oh, yeah.
00:55:56How's this?
00:56:00Let me try this.
00:56:04Can't take you anymore.
00:56:08Them together is really good. Hey, Lucas, can we get another slice of the mint, please?
00:56:12Yes, it looks like you've already tried the mint chocolate torte, sir,
00:56:16and it's one slice only.
00:56:20It's a tough crowd. Tough crowd. It's just that my fiance and I,
00:56:24we're having a tough time choosing between the mint and the fudge raspberries.
00:56:28Fiance? Yeah.
00:56:32Brides, you know. Can't make up their mind.
00:56:36Well, we are not a bakery, sir. There are a number of places in town that do weddings,
00:56:40so I suggest you try that. We could just get married here.
00:56:44Today? I love it when you're impulsive.
00:56:48My little teddy bear.
00:56:52Sir, the wait is sometimes years for weddings here.
00:56:56Oh, that's a long time. We should just go to the courthouse, then.
00:57:00We could go with our cake slices. Yeah, just two GoBucks.
00:57:04Two GoBucks. Bitte. One will be good.
00:57:08Sure.
00:57:12No more!
00:57:16What were you thinking?
00:57:20I was just having fun. But okay, a hypothetical question. You're getting married. Which flavor are you going with?
00:57:24Buttercream vanilla. So boring. That's a deal-breaker.
00:57:28What? That's a deal-breaker. Well, what would you choose?
00:57:32It's obvious. Mint chocolate is the only choice. Oh, my God. Mint chocolate?
00:57:36I know you like mint chocolate torte.
00:57:40Hi. No, I'm serious. How was the castle?
00:57:44Fantastic. We actually had the best time cake-tasting, and we brought you back some.
00:57:48Help us pick out a wedding flavor. Excuse me? What?
00:57:52Cake guy. Thanks for getting married. Why? Because I said we were.
00:57:56Jack may have suggested that we were together because
00:58:00he wanted more cake. This guy.
00:58:04You know, only people Jack feels really comfortable around are lucky enough to see his prankster side.
00:58:08I know. I feel lucky, then.
00:58:12Welcome to Budapest.
00:58:16As we sail into port, you can see the iconic Parliament building
00:58:20with its golden crown and grand staircase.
00:58:24It won't disappoint.
00:58:32I thought your boss would have you locked up in a tower somewhere.
00:58:36Hey. No, no. She just blocked the elevator up to the proverbial one.
00:58:40Ah. Well, you know, there's plenty of ways to the top.
00:58:44Personally, I don't think you'd eat her. Unfortunately, I do, Jack.
00:58:48And, in fact, I just found this interesting company, and I think I'm
00:58:52going to take the idea to her. Look, they're new.
00:58:56They do boutique hotels with a music theme across Europe, and they're not partnered with a tour company yet.
00:59:00And get this. The CEO is here in Budapest, so I just
00:59:04cold-emailed him. This looks great. Best of luck.
00:59:08Thank you. Do you want a coffee or a tea? I think I'm okay.
00:59:12Oh, hang on. Sorry. Oh, my gosh. It's him.
00:59:16I'll leave you alone. No, no, no. Just... No, it's fine. I'm going to go find my dad and see what he's up to.
00:59:20Okay. Thanks. Sarah Matthews?
00:59:24Yes. Mr. Kovacs, thank you so much for responding to my email.
00:59:28So, when we get back home, does this mean I have to clean your shoes, too, after I caddy for you?
00:59:32Part of the deal. That's it.
00:59:36This is nice, right? Spending some time together.
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:44Why did you bring me on this cruise?
00:59:48Remember that Father's Day story that we ran in the paper?
00:59:52About the father and son whose parents
00:59:56were divorcing, and he made him a promise
01:00:00that he felt so bad that he was going to call them every single day.
01:00:04And he did. For 35 years.
01:00:08Wow.
01:00:12I thought to myself, you know, what are we doing? We live 10 minutes from each other and we barely speak.
01:00:16Jack, I'm so sorry. I wasn't the greatest father.
01:00:20I deserve some blame in that. You were a kid.
01:00:24I 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. Make something of you and I.
01:00:32I wasn't there for you. Or your mother.
01:00:36She really loved you. She understood your passion a lot more
01:00:40than I did. I remember how excited she got about going to the football games when seeing your band play.
01:00:44She was proud of you.
01:00:48I'm proud of you. It's not too late for us.
01:00:52Thanks for saying that, son. I want that second chance.
01:00:56You too.
01:01:00I love you. I love you too.
01:01:04And son, any fool can see you got it bad for Sarah.
01:01:12Yeah, I guess so.
01:01:16Sarah! You look nice. Oh, thanks, Teddy.
01:01:20I just had a business meeting. Oh, if you can just keep that between us, please.
01:01:24Of course. How did it go? Really well.
01:01:28Things are finally looking up on the work front. That's nice to hear.
01:01:32Oh, Jack was looking for you a little earlier.
01:01:36Oh, do you know where he is? I think he was in the lounge.
01:01:40Oh, okay, great. I'm just going to go change. Sarah! Yeah?
01:01:44He likes you.
01:01:48No, we're just friends.
01:01:52Are you?
01:01:56Hey.
01:02:00Hi. Um, Teddy said you were looking for me?
01:02:04Any chance you're free for dinner tonight?
01:02:08I know it's a pretty special place. Sure. Sounds great.
01:02:12But I should probably check with my mom. And your dad.
01:02:16No need. You're in a car right now, optimal way to dinner. Their idea?
01:02:20You know they're onto us, right? I didn't think my mom was ready.
01:02:24Guess she changed her mind.
01:02:40Wow.
01:02:44This is an amazing spot.
01:02:48You know, up until this point, everything's been about our parents.
01:02:52So I want you to have your own special memory.
01:02:56I've had so many great ones with you on this trip, but this is so thoughtful. Thank you.
01:03:00You're very, very welcome. So how about a toast?
01:03:04To, let's see, oh, barely bathing suits.
01:03:08To all my corny jokes. Yes, oh, I must not forget our romance
01:03:12complete with Wedding Tort.
01:03:16Is this true?
01:03:20I should also tell you that I landed that
01:03:24account with that CEO in Budapest. That's great.
01:03:28He actually really loved my idea of pairing
01:03:32the music themed hotels with music tours.
01:03:36And we started talking and all these ideas just clicked.
01:03:40And Patricia was thrilled.
01:03:44She said the promotion's all but mine.
01:03:48Congratulations. That's fantastic.
01:03:52Persistence paid off.
01:03:56I still think, though, that you could do something great.
01:04:00You know, Teddy said something to me
01:04:04right before I saw you.
01:04:08She said that she thinks that
01:04:12we should be more than friends.
01:04:16I think Teddy is right.
01:04:20Jack.
01:04:24Oh.
01:04:28I'm so sorry.
01:04:32I feel like I'm still trying to figure out
01:04:36everything. And you should. I get that.
01:04:40You should take time for yourself. Take time to travel.
01:04:44Maybe even see what it's like to get home to an early dinner.
01:04:52And I appreciate you saying that.
01:04:56I 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.
01:05:32Hi, it's Julia. Leave a message.
01:05:36I just saw your note. I hope everything's okay. Call me.
01:05:56Hey. Oh, hi. There you are.
01:06:00I'm sorry I should have told you.
01:06:04I woke up this morning with a little panic attack, so I just needed some air.
01:06:12This is about the show, isn't it?
01:06:16Yeah. But it's also a lot of things that just hit me all at once.
01:06:20But it's okay. It's okay. This trip has been good for us.
01:06:24I've actually had the best time with you.
01:06:28But...
01:06:32you're still doing the show, right?
01:06:36I don't know. I just...
01:06:40Should I be doing something that causes me this much anxiety?
01:06:44Maybe my time on the stage is past.
01:06:48And that's okay.
01:06:52Here.
01:06:56This is for you. For me.
01:07:00Yeah?
01:07:08I can't believe you got me this.
01:07:12Medieval Europeans wore rubies to guarantee success.
01:07:16Okay.
01:07:20There.
01:07:24You see? Thank you.
01:07:28It's perfect on you.
01:07:32You know I listen to you, right?
01:07:36Just as much as you do.
01:07:40Oh, honey. I've been so busy feeling sad for myself,
01:07:44I never take the time to ask you how you're doing.
01:07:48It's been really hard.
01:07:52But I feel so much better when I'm with you.
01:07:56But you're always so busy.
01:08:00I know. I know. And I need to start putting you first.
01:08:04I want to spend more time with you.
01:08:08Well, maybe we could start with Sunday dinner.
01:08:12Deal.
01:08:20So, how's it going with Jack?
01:08:24I'm not sure it's going anywhere.
01:08:28You know we're both rooting for you.
01:08:32You're good together, Sarah.
01:08:36I hear you.
01:08:40A more urgent matter.
01:08:44Are you going to do the show or not?
01:08:48We have to let Stanley know.
01:08:52It is just the chorus.
01:08:56I guess I could handle that.
01:09:00Yes, you can!
01:09:04You're going to be so good. I know you are.
01:09:08You're going to be the best.
01:09:20No, no, no. All the steps are there.
01:09:24All right, so this is just your playing space.
01:09:28I just want you to free up at the end of the central circle.
01:09:32What happened? Was that just a mistiming thing?
01:09:36Yeah. So good to see you.
01:09:40I have missed you so much.
01:09:44Thank you for doing this.
01:09:48Thank you for asking this. I don't know what I am anymore.
01:09:52Stop it. You're fabulous. How's the cruise been?
01:09:56An adventure. I want to hear all about it at the after party.
01:10:00So, we have an area for you.
01:10:04This way.
01:10:22Hi. Hi. How are you doing?
01:10:26You know you're really stressed when you start getting on your own nerves.
01:10:30Hey. Remember what I told you.
01:10:34And I'll be right here, too. What would I do without you?
01:10:38You got this.
01:10:42Oh, hi. How's it looking out there? Good. But we have a slight problem.
01:10:46What? Flora called in sick.
01:10:50And she can't do the opening solo, so... Don't say it.
01:10:54I need you. Stanley?
01:10:58I can't.
01:11:02I got a packed house out there, and you're the best singer I have.
01:11:06I am not a lead. But you should have been.
01:11:10You fought being the lead
01:11:14every step of the way. Because we all have a part to play.
01:11:18How many years have I known you? Too many.
01:11:22Well, this I know.
01:11:26You were born to do this solo.
01:11:30Please say yes.
01:11:34Hmm?
01:11:38Take a few minutes. Hope it's okay we came back to say hi.
01:11:42We wanted to wish you the best for the show. Of course.
01:11:46Oh, and thank you for the beautiful flowers. Did I hear solo?
01:11:50I can't do it.
01:11:56Um, Julia...
01:12:00I just want to let you know how impressed we
01:12:04have been with you. The fact that you've accomplished everything
01:12:08you have, and you did it on your own.
01:12:12Now you're here. It's your time to shine.
01:12:16We'll see you on stage, whatever you decide to do.
01:12:20Hey.
01:12:24Thank you for that.
01:12:38I think Sarah really appreciated what you said to Julia.
01:12:42You meant every word.
01:12:46I slipped through your fingers.
01:12:50Love is fleeting. I learned that the hard way with your mother.
01:12:54She said it wasn't the right time, so...
01:12:58And you're gonna let that stop you from trying?
01:13:06Hello, everyone.
01:13:10Welcome to the Opera Theater,
01:13:14the theaters in Hungary, and tonight
01:13:18it's gonna be the stage for the city's first ever
01:13:22Broadway revival.

01:13:30honor to be back, bringing you
01:13:34my passion, Broadway.

01:13:58I'm more than a little
01:14:02surprised to be standing here on my own tonight.
01:14:06It certainly wasn't the plan. It wasn'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.

01:17:40Thank you
01:17:42You're a Broadway fan. I think oh, he's our amazing Broadway fan
01:17:47We'll see you in a bit
01:17:49Yes, what's your favorite musical one of yours actually take a bite out of the Big Apple
01:17:58That scene where Tiffany just misses Tom in Times Square and then they meet again one year later
01:18:05On Long Island in the bakery. It is just so good. Where are you from Betty Pittsburgh?
01:18:11Culturally a long way from New York. Well, I'm from Hungary. So that makes two of us
01:18:16I'm so excited that you're gonna be doing more of these concerts
01:18:20You know, I heard such great things about the cruise from Julia. I
01:18:25Booked myself on the next one. Well, then we're gonna be seeing each other. I'm on it, too
01:18:32Seriously, oh, yes, seriously. Well, I've taken a lot of cruises. I have a feeling it could be the best one yet. Oh
01:18:39Stanley
01:18:41That's my line
01:18:45I
01:18:53I'm sorry, honey. Hmm
01:18:55It's okay mom. I mean we met on a cruise. We didn't even talk about liking each other until last night
01:19:03What did I think was gonna happen? Don't be too disappointed. Oh
01:19:07Mom
01:19:09I want you to go and enjoy yourself. Have fun. You deserve it. Sure. Yes
01:19:14I'm just gonna pop back to the boat and pack them. Okay. Oh sure. Yeah, I'll see you later. All right
01:19:29Jack
01:19:32You came
01:19:33I wasn't gonna leave without saying goodbye
01:19:36I've learned one really important thing on this cruise. Let's never leave anything unresolved
01:19:42What does that mean? It means I don't care if you were 24-7. I
01:19:46Don't care if you work weekends
01:19:48You could run the company if you want
01:19:51But I know one thing I
01:19:54Want this?
01:19:56So glad you said that
01:19:59because when I realized you left the theater of my heart just
01:20:03sunk
01:20:04And in that moment, I knew I 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. But the one thing I want to say
01:20:21Is I just want to be with you
01:20:25I want to be around you too, and I decided something today
01:20:30If I'm telling my mom to get it on that stage when she's panicking on the inside and she does it in the most beautiful and
01:20:36eloquent way
01:20:37Then I better have the courage to do the same
01:20:41What does that mean?
01:20:45I'm saying goodbye to Patricia. I'm starting my own company. Thank you for believing in me
01:20:53I'm so proud of you
01:20:59You
01:21:06Best cruise ever. It really is
01:21:13Until next time safe travels home
01:21:19Oh

01:21:23We hope you enjoyed your stay just so great to have this time with Sarah and to meet Jack and Andre
01:21:28We like to think our cruises inspire our passengers to help build new relationships
01:21:34Well, this trip is exactly what I needed and we certainly created a wonderful friendship
01:21:39and Jack and Sarah
01:21:41They totally owe us for this. Oh, that's for sure. By the way, where are they?
01:21:48Good question
01:21:52You know, I have to come back once a year like we're all started
01:21:56Someone's confidence. Let me find the one
01:22:06Gotta get going. There's one more thing I want to do. What's that?
