0:30 Five and a half thousand! Five and a half thousand! Five and a half!
0:52 That smooth spot's between the two lines of bridges. Yeah, I see it. Four and a half getting shallow fast!
1:00 Four and a half, King Shalhoub! Four and a half! And a half! Judge, there's three fathoms in the battle. Hey, Tinker, he's that main chief. How many feet in the fathom? Six.
1:10 Oh, my God.
1:11 18 feet to the passage.
1:13 Yeah, and the ship takes 15 of those. Oh, three seats is fair.
1:18 And I forgot to bring my water wing.
1:20 Good morning, St. Peter.
1:22 Three and a half, madam.
1:25 Three and a half. God, shipper, how old's that shot? On by everybody. We're going through the passage. Find that jet sheet. Right there's a hat. Touch the swallow on the right or we'll ride it through. Here they come. Look out, Johnny.
1:52 We made it. We're over. Great work, sir. I bet we didn't have an engine to spare. You bet not. Take the wheel, will you? Yes, sir.
2:04 Come on.
2:12 Five and a half and getting deeper. Take some, kids. We're in.
2:17 - Mainer, Blaine? - Yep. Yeah. After this, I'll do all my yachting in the store. Oh, you're always crabby. That was the quart. Yeah, well, you can have it. I don't want it.
2:25 Say, you ought to get stock absorbers in this boat.
2:33 Mailers, come and get it. Now, now, now, now, women and children first.
2:48 I don't want to.
3:07 All right.
3:09 I don't know.
3:10 I'm out of here!

438 more segments

3:12 Hey!
3:13 - Audrey! - Yeah, Sandy.
3:23 Hello! Hello! - What's that supposed to be? - The color of the wild. Hello!
3:34 Darling, you're out of luck. No blinds. - Yeah, I don't. - Yeah.
3:38 Oh, you don't just want to be a cannibal, do you? Well, if they are, we'll be the mule. They're not allowed to eat ham. Don't do that. I'm finished.
3:52 What's wrong this place? Probably one of the Virgin Islands. Heaven forbid. Hey, hey, hey. Come on. Come on. Come and get me. Why is it?
4:04 Johnny, here's the charm of the South Sea.
4:08 and out of nowhere you stumble onto one of these little islands.
4:11 Well, nearly always you'll find the natives a happy, carefree people. Yeah, I know. A part of light wines and dancing.
4:19 Hey, look.
4:26 Hello, baby. Is that anything on for tonight? Yes, sir.
4:30 I'll give you my heart's blood.
5:00 Hey, this water.
5:30 Oh, my God.
5:59 I want you boys to get rid of these things for a long time.
6:03 Hey, wait a minute. What are you doing, Mr. Kutley? Come here, you. There, throw those things. Now, all right. Oh, the bad thing. Oh, the poor thing. Oh, the poor thing. It's a green business, you guys.
6:14 - Yeah.
6:15 Hey, Jeremy. See you for the grill over there?
6:17 There's a present for you.
6:47 Hey, don't sit in. You might be the native. Here, give me a handle of this one.
7:17 Hey, don't do that.
7:41 Get in there, quick!
8:27 That's what I...
8:29 What happened?
8:31 When the shark took the bait, your foot got caught in the rope and over you went. - How'd they get out of it? - The line parted between you and the shark. - Looks like he's been cut. - Yeah. - Probably one of the natives.
8:42 Which one?
8:56 Go on, sweetheart.
8:57 I'm listening.
9:12 Sardines again.
9:49 Amen.
9:49 Mm-hmm.
9:56 All right.
10:01 Amen.
10:09 Not bad, eh? Perfect. I'm drunk again. Oh, I was just tired, I know. He must be the big medicine around here, eh? He sure is. That's the guy that beats the volcano.
10:21 - A piece of volcano. - Sure.
10:23 That's the way they keep the volcano quiet. He feeds it.
10:26 - Those are the fish? - No, sir. They have to be young and beautiful to please the volcano.
10:32 I can't make up my mind what I want. That'd be strong.
10:49 What is this, a paper hanger convention? All kidding aside, what is this? It's a poi. It's a poi. Poi or dear, I wouldn't like it. What do you like poi?
11:02 Apple poise, lemon poise, rhubarb poise. Oh, that kind of poise. Well, here goes.
11:09 Oh, that's good meat.
11:24 That's beautiful, Mike.
11:32 Hello there.
12:02 Oh, that's good. I'm eating worse than this in the Waldorf. Hey, Shippy, what is this? It's an octopus. An octopus? Something called from Sam with you tonight. Hector, it's me. Oh, it's got me. I'm an octopus.
13:02 How we going in.
14:04 Hold!
14:08 I want it!
14:09 Anthony!
14:11 I have water!
14:25 Roku, where are you? Now, how? Let's get it. Roku, where are you?
14:31 I have my audio for you. Kipper.
14:34 What are they sore about?
14:36 Well, you can certainly pick 'em. That's the king's daughter.
14:39 It's all right with me. Ah, but it isn't all right with them. She's taboo. What do you mean? Well, you see, they have rules about such things in these islands. No one's supposed to catch her except the native prince. They're very strict about it. You ought to get your throat cut, Johnny. Well, Johnny, it looks to me as if the only out is for you to run for the job of native prince on the Democratic ticket this morning. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:19 *Sings*
15:24 It's funny, Max, that the tropics will do what she'd like, Johnny.
15:31 I wish they did it to me.
15:34 You better keep your eye on him, Max.
15:36 He's going native.
15:38 Old devil nice guy. Old Tom Tom done stole our Johnny away. Don't you wish you were young enough to feel the way that kid feels?
15:47 That's right, Mike.
15:48 Not me. Why keep me awake.
15:51 Hey, did you see the expression on Johnny's face when I went to talk to him?
15:55 doing all that
15:57 Who would have made those plants shrivel up like that anyhow?
16:00 I threw my breath on it.
16:08 I'm going to go.
16:17 No.
16:38 I'm sorry.
17:08 I don't know.
17:38 Go to the devil. I'll get even with you.
19:08 Hey!
19:34 Wait. How are you?
19:37 Wait. Wait.
19:39 Knock him, knock him away. Knock him. Over here. Over here.
19:44 Look at him.
20:00 Come on.
20:04 Hang on!
20:16 Hey, Matt! What's happened to Johnny? I can't find him. What guns must let him?
20:21 Hey, Schipper, is Johnny up forward? I haven't seen any up forward, is he? Well, follow the rocket. Johnny's not on the boat.
20:27 What are you grinning about, Mac? Well, as a matter of fact, I had a long talk with Johnny last night. He's decided to stay on the island, and we'll pick him up on our way back. Got it. Oh, you're kidding, Mac. Johnny, somewhere on that boat. No, I'm not kidding, and as a matter of fact, I think it's a swell idea. I wish I'd done the same thing when I was a kid. Well, this is ridiculous. Hey, Skipper, turn around. We're going back. You never get out of there alive. Those people are savages. Come on, Skipper, let's go back. Come on, turn around. Now, Skipper, we're not going back.
20:57 Matthew, you mad...
20:58 No, I'm not mad. I think I know Johnny a little better than you fellas. Matter of fact, I'm for him 100% and I told him so last night. So that's that. Now, don't you worry about Johnny. I packed his duffel bag and put in everything you need. Let's see, uh...
21:13 Hot water bottle, bicarb, Minnesota, needle and thread, a box of toothpicks, tennis rackets,
21:18 a golf stick, a mama ginger ale, or in a ukulele.
21:22 Hey, what are you doing here? You're going to cut yourself to that. Hey there, Oscar. You and my boy's shirt. What are you doing? Hey, give me that.
21:52 What's going on around here?
22:22 Come on!
24:32 Hey, what's the big idea?
24:38 La-da-dee.
24:40 Ah, that's not...
24:42 La-da-da-dee-dee-dee-da-da-da-da.
24:57 Yadda-da-di, yadda.
25:00 *Honorra singing*
25:08 Have a nice.
25:12 All right.
25:21 I
25:38 Mm-hmm.
25:42 Rose.
25:50 I don't get this, assistant.
25:54 No horse?
25:55 Here's a hallou.
25:58 Oh, you want me to sit down? Oh, well, all right. I'll try anything. What?
26:05 Yeah.
26:06 Mm-hmm.
26:06 Mm-hmm.
26:08 Mm-hmm.
26:19 Charlie.
26:21 I'll get your baby.
26:23 Bonnie!
26:24 Oh, you want me to struggle with you? Never on occasions like this. Honey, honey. Well, all right. But remember, I'm only pretending.
26:41 No. Anymore.
26:46 Anyone again?
26:47 Oh, anywho more.
26:55 We have company.
27:04 Come on, baby.
27:06 We've got to make a run for it.
27:57 Happy carefree people. On the light wines and dancing, huh? Right.
28:07 I'm
28:12 Come on.
28:27 Hey!
28:47 I'll be right back.
28:57 What does it say? Luana la temata, si es.
29:01 They don't tell me.
29:04 Malachan, that's how far?
29:06 Well, I'll have to consult my secretary before I can tell you about that. Here, take a letter. Luana, lave not ahe. What's that about Luana? Lave not ahe. Ha, ha, ha. Hi.
29:22 Bele mojo. I see. Tama, tama. Yeah.
29:29 Luana! Oh, I see. Luana.
29:34 Oi!
29:35 Well, that's me, the white stick, huh?
29:39 - Panaca. - Native.
29:45 Who want to go around the native village, huh?
30:03 "In the arms of the Lord"
30:12 Hala Paiya!
30:17 Oh, my God.
30:22 I'll be there and around.
30:27 God, O Padre, He will be.
30:32 I'm waiting for the Lord.
30:47 Hey, Jack, you're down there.
31:03 Amen.
31:12 We can whip it. Whip!
31:15 Help me.
31:16 Hey.
31:26 Right.
31:27 From town to town.
31:32 Hey!
31:55 You scammed them!
32:15 In the army always, in the old world,
32:24 Kana Paiyala.
32:32 Are you there, my boy?
32:37 I know I'm with you.
32:41 "All these funny stars, how do you go?"
32:46 Amen.
32:51 In the car, we are.
33:05 Oh
33:08 All right.
33:10 I'll be back to our boys.
33:14 I love you, Father, in your name.
33:19 Call me Mike.
33:25 Hey!
33:34 Luana! Luana, don't go with them, Luana. White men want you to stay here with him always. Don't you understand, Luana? I want you to stay here with me.
34:13 Weedle my hand.
34:15 In the air.
34:17 Ma-la-la-la-la, baby, yeah.
34:20 We are all on the bed. I'm not. I don't hate it.
34:27 Yeah.
34:28 Hawaii's all over
34:33 Untie my hand!
34:35 Untie the rope!
34:49 I'm not.
34:54 Where can I get a canoe? I've got to have a canoe! A canoe, don't you understand?
35:18 I will.
35:20 Oh, Taboo Bunk, I've got to have a canoe. A canoe. Taboo power.
35:28 Mm-hmm.
35:28 Here, you get me a canoe, I'll give you this. Nice and soft.
35:33 Here, I'll give you this. Light!
35:35 The smoke?
36:10 - Come on, there, just sit. - Here. Here.
36:14 I give it to you.
36:15 You take it. Now you get me canoe, canoe, see? Canoe.
36:20 I'll take it away from you unless you get me a canoe right away. You get me a canoe?
36:24 All right, here.
36:28 Good job, huh? Great idea. Here, put some on my back.
37:34 Bye-bye.
37:35 None in more than that.
37:36 Come on.
37:37 For Kim?
37:38 I'm not good.
37:40 No, me, I'll tell you.
37:41 Oh, wait. Oh, you're my little waiting waiting.
37:44 It's my name here. Here, here, here, here, here.
37:48 "How, O, Ek Tekeli, Oku, O, Reha, Now, Nam, Maul, Oku, No!"

42:17 Coward?
42:18 No!
42:20 What?

42:23 No! Oh, I see what you mean. Power.

42:30 Ollie? Ollie?
42:32 Our...
42:34 Boom.
42:35 Ah, that's swell.
42:43 - Ew! - Oh, look. - Eleanor! - Oh, look.
42:48 Whoo!
43:04 What?
43:07 Oh, water!
43:10 Water!
43:12 Pa!
43:13 - Here! - You're a saint!
43:35 - Look at me!
44:04 Come on.
44:15 Kelly, Kelly!
44:18 Yes.
44:18 You ain't alley up.
44:19 Whee-hee, whee-hee.
44:21 Amen.
44:22 Well, here goes.
44:23 I'm going to go.
44:24 I'm going to go.
44:43 Come on.
44:45 Oh.
44:48 I'm not.
44:49 Come on, come on. Give me a hug.
45:02 Hey, Mario, you're right! What do you like?
45:11 Hands up! Move over here, Frank! I can't help you!
45:16 There comes another one.
45:17 - Whoo! - Stop! - Whoo! - Watch him!
45:22 Oh, hi, hi, hi, hi. Hi, hi. Hi. I know the only first place to stop.
45:30 Oh, my God.
46:06 Right here. What? My.
46:08 Lovely. Oh, nice. Nice, huh?
46:13 Nice.
46:14 - Hi. - Hi. - Hi. - Hi. - Hi. - Hi. - Hi. - Hi. - Let me know how to do all these things. I'd be lost out of here. - Now, where's my wife? Here. - Hi, dear.
46:23 Cliff.
46:26 Mm-hmm. Still a little bit.
46:30 I'm sorry.
46:32 I'm going to go.
46:43 Right by here.
46:51 I like him. I like him. You take a little nap. We'll see how you like him.
46:57 Hmm.
46:58 Mmm! Mmm, mild.
47:23 Rose, I make your shift.
47:31 I'll teach you to run away from me.
47:34 Uh-oh. Strange! Strange!
47:42 Say, I feel like a potato bug. We can't run underneath leaves every time it rains. I've got to build a house. House? Yeah, a place to live in, a shelter, you know, a place to sleep.
48:08 Oh, yeah. Well, that too.
48:41 I'm sorry.
50:13 When it rains, let us warm.
50:20 Well, you like it?
50:24 Oh, Johnny! Finny's house, huh? You're a paladin. It's a castle.
50:36 Look, Waker. Now you have planes. Hey, Nick, I didn't build that house for the goat. I built it for you and me. You do everything. Yeah, I'm a great guy.
50:52 You happy?
50:58 You know, when the gang comes back, I'm gonna take you home with me.
51:03 No, don't. No.
51:07 Why not?
51:09 Someday...
51:11 Pele Angel. Tum Tum Skol.
51:14 I go. You mean there's a volcano?
51:19 Mm-hmm. I won't let you go. You belong to me now, B.
51:24 If I not hear, when Tele calls, when Tele angry, you too.
51:31 Volcano Curson, you...
51:33 You die, too. Oh, now that's a lot of hooey.
51:36 I'm not afraid of Paley or what the volcano curse can do to me. And you're not going to be afraid either. It's going to take you back to civilization.
51:44 They don't have any crazy superstitious ideas about...
51:47 The volcano is being mad at people and putting a curse on them. Key station?
51:53 Who is that? Well, that's not a place. That's where things are happening. People are accomplishing something. Ever tell you about the radio? All you do is sit there and turn a little dial, and all of a sudden, out of the air comes down. Right where you are.
52:10 Isn't that fair?
52:13 Now, look. It's getting dark. Now, if we were in San Francisco, bingo.
52:17 I press the button? Right.
52:22 Oh, Johnny. But it is so nice in the dark.
52:28 Say hello, Anna. You certainly make civilization look silly. But it's not really. It's great.
52:33 See, where do you see it? Markets, streets with all the traffic and lights. People going to theaters. Hotels, grand, piled bathrooms. Upwater running into steaming tubs. Restaurants where they serve grand food. Parties, football games, dances, speedboats, airplanes roaring through the air.
52:52 G-Lo on a civilization...
53:32 Oh, yeah.
54:02 I'm going to go.
54:54 Felix! Felix! Ale!
55:00 Ale!
55:02 Ali, stop!
55:32 Johnny!
56:12 Johnny! Johnny!
56:25 Come on.
57:32 Oh, my God.
58:12 Go on up!
58:15 Come on!
58:19 Joanna!
58:20 Go on up.
58:54 Go up! Go up!
1:02:44 Hmm.
1:02:46 Hmm.
1:02:47 Mm-hmm.
1:02:50 Mm-hmm.
1:02:52 Mm-hmm.
1:02:53 Mm-hmm.
1:02:55 Hmm.

1:03:28 Mm.
1:03:30 Hmm.
1:03:31 Mm. Mm.
1:03:33 Hmm.
1:03:36 Hmm.
1:03:38 Amen.
1:03:39 Mm.
1:03:40 Mm-hmm.
1:03:45 Mm-hmm.
1:03:47 Hmm.
1:03:50 Mm-hmm.
1:03:52 Mm-hmm.
1:03:53 Mm-hmm.
1:04:37 I'm going to go.
1:05:07 They ain't got a couple of them!
1:05:17 Come on.
1:05:21 Go on.
1:05:22 Johnny! Come on.
1:05:28 What are they going to do to you?
1:05:31 What are they going to do to you?
1:05:35 I missed this thing, Johnny.
1:05:37 They give me...
1:05:39 Oh, you haven't seen it.
1:05:41 I loved you and you loved me. That's all there is to it.
1:05:45 But I have moved on quite, ma'am Johnny. That's not true.
1:05:49 Oh, I can't go unless...
1:05:53 I asked him, John.
1:05:55 I'm happy you've sealed me away and we live together.
1:05:58 I'm happy you teach me kids. I'm happy you hold me.
1:06:02 They're happy for everything.
1:06:05 There's a safe place that ever comes.
1:06:09 I thought I just had a yin for you. I thought this was only going to be a lock.
1:06:14 Oh, but I love you, Luana.
1:06:16 I love you more than I've ever loved anyone.
1:06:18 More than I ever could love anyone.
1:06:20 I can't get it very much.
1:06:50 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. No, I'm not going to die. What's the name?
1:07:03 What is it? What's the matter, Luana? What did he say?
1:07:07 Prince, now you come to me? Alejandro, what can occur to you?
1:07:18 Please stay.
1:07:20 You died.
1:07:21 Two.
1:07:24 Well, that's all right. That's sort of as it should be. No, that's wrong. I see you.
1:07:32 Then he got...
1:07:33 You ain't that me?
1:07:35 No, Perry's no god, Luana. He's only a hole in the ground. There's only one god, Luana.
1:07:41 Oh, God help it. Get her out of her.
1:07:45 It's silly. It's a fire. Ah, Father. Which fire is heaven? How long is it? Thy kingdom come.
1:07:57 I will be done. On earth.
1:08:00 As it is in heaven.
1:08:30 They're coming for us. I've got to kiss you, Luana. Try. Keep it with reach. Reach.
1:09:00 I'm out.
1:09:30 Let her alone!
1:10:22 Don't give any more, Schiffer.
1:10:24 Wait and see what happens.
1:10:27 Right.
1:10:36 Away!
1:11:08 Oh, boy, I'd like this racket.
1:11:29 Oh, okay.
1:11:31 That'll fix you up, young fellow. Don't you move that arm.
1:11:36 That hole they put into.
1:11:39 Why, hello, Luana.
1:11:42 Johnny...
1:11:43 Doctor.
1:11:44 No, no, no. There's nothing to worry about.
1:11:48 And a day or two, you'll be just as good as new.
1:11:52 I don't know.
1:11:56 No, Sally?
1:11:59 Johnny Wells?
1:12:00 One, two, three.
1:12:03 Understand?
1:12:11 Come here, come here.
1:12:13 Come on now.
1:12:14 There's nothing to be afraid of.
1:12:16 Come on.
1:12:18 You come up on deck with me.
1:12:20 Johnny, all right. Come on out.
1:12:24 No.
1:12:37 I'm going to go.
1:12:43 Yes!
1:12:51 How is he, Max? He'll see Rick, but he'll pull out all right.
1:12:57 Well, fellas, what's the verdict?
1:13:01 Does she go with us or does she stay here?
1:13:04 I still contend that she won't stand plan planning. You know, you take a girl who...
1:13:11 I can tell the superstition all I...
1:13:13 can't suddenly...
1:13:14 - Adapter to our weight. - Oh, if I have a mistake, you've talked like some old Aunt Emma. This is 1932. The small girl and I like her. That ship we've done with a lot of hooey. You're wrong, sister.
1:13:25 That boy's whole life is wrapped up in his family.
1:13:28 As he came home with a native wife, it would break his mother's heart.
1:13:32 East is east and west is west.
1:13:39 As never the twain told me.
1:13:42 Max.
1:13:43 What's the dope on the north and south?
1:13:45 God.
1:13:51 I'm sorry. You're not likely to take me away from you. You're mad. You are doomed, I do.
1:14:01 But I'm not left in.
1:14:06 I've got to tell it.
1:14:08 before you
1:14:10 Everything was right for me.
1:14:14 Water.
1:14:16 No. Yes, darling.
1:14:18 Water.
1:14:19 Yes.
1:14:20 Rock!
1:15:21 What does he want? Something about Luana.
1:15:23 Find out what he wants. Yes.
1:15:26 It's the old chief, the girl's father. They've come for her. Well, you tell him he can't have her. We're taking her back with us.
1:15:45 He says that the volcano curse has been put on Johnny. And unless the girl returns with them,
1:15:59 Let me get the light. Hurry up.
1:16:02 Are you for the stage of the road?
1:16:16 Mm-hmm.
1:16:18 My father's my idol.
1:16:28 Now, Kaka, okay, I can't. I stay beside.
1:16:40 Mm-hmm.
1:16:41 Mmm.
1:16:42 Mm-hmm.
1:16:44 Mm-hmm.
1:16:50 Come on.
1:17:01 I'm going to go.
1:17:06 Come on.
1:18:41 Go, Luanna. We take you with us.
1:18:48 Go, Luanna.
1:18:49 Come on.
1:18:50 Amen.
1:18:51 Mm-hmm.
1:19:16 Mm-hmm.
1:19:17 Mac, if I had that much courage, I'd... Get the left to get out of here.
1:19:47 Oh, my God.
