George discovers that Jackie is his one true love and he blubbers out a proposal -marriage, kids, the whole number -that reveals him as more sensitive than he ever could, or should, be.

Lazing by the shell-shaped pool or strolling in the tropical gardens of the estate lent to them by Mexican Pharmaceuticals Importer Eustaquio Escandon, the Kissingers' only argument was with their host's mean, green parrot that set up a racket every time Henry opened his mouth.
