The remark and the character are Whoopi at her best. Bogus and Albert meet on the plane from Vegas to New Jersey.

Travis, resplendent in her showgirl costume, is like a fairy godmother. Whoopi's world is filled with stark buildings, noise and drab colors. All the characters are grounded in reality, but there is a ripple of fantasy just beneath their facades. When Harriet finally unleashes her imagination, Whoopi and Depardieu whirl about a ballroom dressed in white. Whoopi never allows Bogus to become overly sentimental.
