The Love Boat/Chapter Six

This is the sixth and last chapter of the Love Boat.

*Finish up the orders quickly to hear what Doc has to say!*

* The crew is in the restaurant.
* Julie: I still can't believe it. He didn't even blink when she fired us.
* Gopher: It feels like he's been lying to us for years.
* Julie: But what do we do now?
* Isaac: Hire a hitman?
* Julie: I think the best solution is to let Mrs. Skoggstad be the captain.
* Julie: Then she can hire the crew she wants...
* Adam: Guys, I have something to tell you...

* Adam: No! It's time to stop all the whispering and plotting, and take the bull by the horns.
* The audience laugh.
* Isaac: I don't even know if I want to know what that means.

## Level 52 - Disco Fever!

*Music for the wedding is being set up and these tunes really make you want to dance!*

* Sandy: So you really don't mind?
* Brad: Sweetheart, I'm just glad you actually like me.
* Brad: Besides, I'm gonna be married to a woman other men can only dream about.
* Sandy: But what about your campaign?
* Brad: Well, I look at it this way...
* Brad: After a guy named Carter confessed his lust in Playboy, he was elected president.
* Brad: With this, I might just get to be king!
* Sandy: I'm sorry I tried to keep it from you before we got married.
* Brad: And I'm sorry I've been so focused on my campaign I made you feel you couldn't tell me.
* Brad: Sandy, I love you.
* Brad and Sandy are loving now, giving kisses!

### During the level

* Isaac takes a break on the dance floor!

### Outro

* Sandy: Julie, Gopher! I'm so sorry about your jobs...
* Julie: Don't worry about that - we'll fix it... I hope.
* Brad: Thank you - for everything.
* Sandy: Had it not been for you two...
* Gopher: Don't mention it! Getting a wedding back on track is just another day at the office.
* Julie: Speaking of which, when will it be now, by the way? The wedding?
* Brad: I was thinking about that, sweetheart...
* Brard: With the elections coming up, I don't think we'll be able to organize it again for another eight months!
* Sandy: Eight months!?
* Sandy: Well, that's okay...
* Isaac: You know, we're gonna be crossing international waters soon.
* Julie: That means Captain Stubing could marry you here!
* Gopher: We all could use a wedding!
* Sandy: But what about the wedding dress? And the food for the feast?
* Emily and Angela stand up to go to Sandy and Brad.
* Emily: I don't suppose you'd accept the help of a restaurant manager?
* Angela: And a fashion designer?
* Sandy: You'd do that? Thank you so much!
* Brad: You see? The stars are aligned!
* Sandy: But what about our families...?
* Brad: Well, we can always do it again in eight months for everyone else.
* Brad: But this one will be just for us.

## Level 53 - Prepare the Wedding!

*The decorations have arrived, now it’s time to open up the boxes and prepare for the wedding!*

* Isaac and Gopher are working on it.
* Lorraine: Did you hear? There's going to be a wedding here!
* Jenny: Ironic, huh?
* Jenny: Now that I don't want to get married anymore...
* Jenny: You know, I really needed that wild night out. It gave me chance to think about what really matters.
* Jenny: Looking back on it, it's a good thing Ron didn't show up at Ensenada...
* Isaac: Well, about that...

### During the level

* Isaac unpacks the boxes to set up the decorations for Sandy and Brad wedding!

### Outro

* The crew enter the restaurant.
* Julie: Mr. Skoggstad, there's something we need to tell you.
* Isaac: We think you might have got the wrong impression of the captain.
* Julie: Yeah. He might seem a grumpy sea wolf sometimes.
* Adam: And even act like a capricious screwball.
* Gopher: Oh, and don't forget about his culinary manias, and how often he oversleeps.
* The captain arrives to the restaurant.
* Gopher: And how he falls short on geography and maths. And...
* The audience grin as Julie knocks Gopher.
* Julie: The thing is, we like our captain as he is, and we trust him.
* Julie: Right, boys?
* Gopher: Yes!
* Julie: And it's not fair that someone else judges him for what he's not.
* Gopher: We just wanted you to know that.
* Gopher leaves the peek.

## Level 54 - Row of Products!

*The wedding is on! Time to give your best service to the bride and groom!*

* The wedding is on, and the guests are watching!
* Brad and Sandy exchange the rings.

* Stubing: Oh, you may kiss the bride!
* Sandy and Brad now kiss each other, as they're now married!
* Isaac and Gopher shake hands to Sandy and Brad, congratulating them!
* Adam: I see my prescription worked, then.
* Sandy: Well, it turns out it had some side-effects...
* Sandy: But the next picture you see me in is gonna be a wedding picture!
* Julie: Well, you certainly captured the floating vote with this, Congressman.
* Brad: Yet somehow I'm not convinced it's the best campaign strategy.
* Brad: After all, I can only get married so many times!
* The audience laugh softly.

### During the level

* Isaac serves the orders to bride and groom.
* Angela: You weren't too bad either! I can't believe you managed to make that giant cake so quickly!
* Now to Jenny and Lorraine, when Isaac checked them out.
* Lorraine: Having second thoughts?
* Jenny: What does it matter now?
* Jenny: Why didn't he say anything if he was there, Lorraine?
* Jenny: I'm sure he saw me and thought...
* Lorraine: That you were having a good time without him?
* Lorraine: We'll be home in no time.
* Lorraine: You can explain everything then.
* Jenny: Like he'll believe me...
* Jenny: Look at the bride over there...
* Jenny: I bet she had it so easy...

## Level 55 - Where is Isaac?

*Make sure to cater to your guests as fast as possible so they don’t leave a bad review!*

* The gang's all here.

* The audience laugh. Emily takes herself to work now! She got the meal!
* Emily: Hmm... looks like there really is no one here this time...
* Emily: Where did they all go?

* The crew is hiding while Stacey and Aubrey are chatting in the lobby.
* Stacey: What do you think you're doing?
* Stubing: Quiet.
* Stacey: Who do you think you are?
* Stubing: The captain!
* Stubing: I may not have been acting like one, but I am the captain of this ship.
* Stubing: And I won't tolerate you manipulating me and my crew any more.
* Stacey: Your crew? Don't make me laugh! I think it's time for them to find out just how incompetent you are.
* Stacey: Captain Stubing here wouldn't have passed the test to be qualified as a captain if it wasn't for my intervention.
* Stacey: When they told him the final exam would be in Bermuda, he just turned up to the office wearing Bermuda shorts.
* Stubing: I was young.
* Stacey: So was I, but at least I knew where my head was.
* Stubing: Look, I allowed you to make my life miserable.
* Stubing: But I will not allow you to disrupt this cruise for the rest of my passengers.
* Stubing: Who, I should remind you, have all paid to be on this ship.
* Stacey: Who do you think you're talking to?
* Stubing: I'm not finished.
* Stubing: Last, and by no means least...
* Stubing: You won't treat my crew like a bunch of incompetent bozos.
* Stubing: I have the best crew afloat.
* Stacey: You can't talk to me like this.
* Stubing: Stacey, just SHUT UP!
* Stubing: And go to your room!
* Stacey: Aubrey?!

## Level 56 - The Owner Has Spoken.

*Time to bring out the champagne!*

* Stubing: Mr. Skoggstad.
* Stubing: No matter what you say, I will not apologize.
* Stubing: So whatever you have to say to me, say it now.
* Aubrey has something to say.
* Aubrey: Stacey... The Captain issued an order.
* Stacey leaves the Captain alone.
* Aubrey: Captain Stubing, it must be very difficult to keep a crew as united as yours.
* Aubrey: You are a GREAT captain.
* Aubrey: And for the record, I love bermudas, and would wear them more often if it wasn't for my wife's outdated tastes!
* Aubrey leaves the ship to the Captain.

* Angela: Everything just seemed so easy for you...
* Emily: Well, after a lifetime managing restaurants, one learns a thing or two.
* Angela: No, I mean with the guys back there...
* Emily: Oh... Well, I was just following your lead. Putting your tricks to good use.
* Emily: It was just some innocent fun. You should try it sometime!
* Angela: Yeah... I don't know what got into me. I think I took it all a bit too seriously.
* Emily: If I'm being honest, I'm still not convinced this kind of fun is right for me.
* Emily: I never really felt like I was being myself, and I don't think that's the best way to bond...
