Oscar.

Oscar!

For the animals as well as for the men

this island has become a real paradise.

Yes, but a Garden of Eden without Eve

and Adam is bored.

But... But what's this?

Where are these skipping stones leading us to?

To Papeete,

the capital of Tahiti.

And who do we find? Eve!

I beg your pardon... Chrie Lamour.

Today is her big day.

First of all she is taking an audition at

the Cockatoo, the smartest night club in town.

And also she is expected at the courthouse

for an important occasion.

She's going to marry Lieutenant Jack Frazer.

Miss Lamour, this way, please.

Oh, sweetheart,

I'm so pleased.

It hardly looks like it.

You're three quarters of an hour late!

You're not going to grumble

about three little quarters of an hour?

Marriage is a most important thing.

And I should like

before proceeding any further...

- I got my contract.

- What contract?

When we're married we're going

to share everything in common.

That's not what I'm talking about.

My contract with the Cockatoo!

My debut's tomorrow night.

So you'll be able to come and see me

before you sail.

Miss Lamour...

If you please...

Oh, but I'm listening to you,

Your Honour.

Miss Lamour, Lieutenant...

Marriage is a most important thing.

- Just a minute.

- It's most unusual but if...

Am I to understand that you intend

to continue your career after we are married?

But of course, my sweetheart.

You never suggested I should give it up.

I never broached the subject

because I took it for granted

that you would devote yourself

entirely to me.

Nothing would please me more

if you were here all the time.

But when you spend ten months

out of the year sailing the seas.

What do you expect me to do?

Swim behind your little barge?

- Calm yourself, Miss Lamour.

- I'm very calm, Your Honour!

But I'm not going to submit

to this kind of blackmail!

In that case

I'm not going to hang around here.

You think about it,

but think fast.

Please, sir...

Let him go away, Your Honour.

I won't run after him! Do you hear me?

Miss Lamour...

He'll never see me again.

I don't know what I'll do yet

but Ill see to it he never finds me.

Come here.

I want to talk to you.

Where were, you fellas, a while ago?

I was down at the beach

getting these fish for dinner. See?

I was working in the garden.

Did you see or hear anything?

- Just the waves.

- Why?

I'll tell you why.

Because I was down by the lagoon

and I thought I heard the engines of a big boat.

Then it whistled.

By the time I climbed up to see...

- There was nothing there.

- That's because it had gone.

- What had gone?

- The boat.

You mean to tell me that you saw a boat

and didn't let us know?

I saw and I waved to it

but it didn't wave back, so I...

Get us something to drink

before I forget myself.

Pardon me.

- Whats the matter with you?

- I think I saw something.

- What are you talking about?

- There's a girl in the kitchen.

You are absolutely right.

There she is!

Hello.

- Hello, fellas.

- How did you get here?

Well...

- You might say I was dropped by a witch.

- Like one that rides on a broom?

I'm sorry for this intrusion, but

you'll have to take me as a guest, I'm afraid.

It will be a pleasure.

I knew I should have built a guest house

a long time ago.

Oh...

There's no place for me to stay?

Don't you worry

your pretty little head about that.

Giovanni and Antoine

will move in with Stanley and me.

And you can stay right here.

You're very kind.

Come, my little princess,

and I shall show you to your boudoir.

You know,

I think I'm going to like this place.

It's swell.

You don't have to shave or anything.

I left my cases down at the beach

with all my things.

Gentlemen, get the lady's luggage

and bring it to her chateau.

Thank you.

What's that funny thing up there?

That, my dear, is the wreckage

of the good ship Momus.

I shall never forget the day

that I found this island.

It was a terrible night,

dark as pitch.

It was so pitch, you couldn't see

your hand behind your back.

Exactly, Stanley!

Then, all of a sudden

I spotted that harbour.

I put her bow

into the teeth of the gale,

lashed myself to the wheel

and beached her on that pinnacle.

And it's been there ever since.

Well boys, you must have had

trouble getting it up so high.

He read it in a book.

Come, my dear.

Book...

One, two, three...

All there. Thank you.

Stanley, have you forgotten

that we have company?

Gentlemen,

make yourselves comfortable.

Gentlemen!

Stanley...

- This is my side.

- Well, there's no room on my side.

Well, the fair thing to do

is to take turns.

While one sits up, the other sleeps

and when he wakes up, we change.

Now, that's what I call a sport.

Thank you, Ollie.

That's a good idea. I sleep

and when you wake up, I sleep again.

Haven't you forgotten something?

Haven't you forgotten something?

Oh...

Good night, Ollie.

I'm sorry, Ollie.

Get up and put that candle out.

- But you said I could...

- Go ahead, selfish.

Ollie.

Ollie.

Ollie.

- Are you awake yet?

- No!

Pardon me.

- What is that thing?

- Look out!

Open the window

and we'll drive him out.

This morning I'm going to prepare

a magnificent seagull egg omelette with fine herbs.

Omelette...

Bah!

Today I'm going to draw the plans

for a splendid villa with a big roman bath.

What are you going to do, Ollie?

I'm going to give you, fellas, a piece of my mind.

Chrie's a nice girl, isn't she?

- Exquisite!

- Charming!

Pretty too!

And we're all friends, aren't we?

- Of course.

- Naturally.

Well, I make a motion that we never let a woman

come between us. Agreed?

- Of course.

- I agree.

Now, let's get dressed.

- Say, Ollie, where's the sandpaper?

- Sandpaper?

- In that locker.

- Thank you.

Pardon me.

Thank you.

Pardon me.

Thank you.

Pardon me.

Thanks a lot.

Pardon me.

Thank you.

Pardon me.

Hey!

Look!

Hello.

What's the matter?

The cat got your tongues?

How nice you look this morning.

Come on, come on...

I want you to sit down.

I'll have the food on the table

in two seconds.

- Look! She's done clean plates!

- Even a table cloth!

- And clean napkins!

- She even swept the floor.

Does this belong to anybody?

- Never saw that guy before.

- Nobody I know.

No.

It's mine.

It's a friend.

It's just someone I knew once.

I have a little surprise

which I hope you're going to like.

- What? Another one?

- What is it?

A bouillabaisse!

Tell me...

Was your boyfriend fond of bouillabaisse?

Oh, he loved it.

Is this the warehouse you've been building?

As warehouses go, it's a funny warehouse.

This is no warehouse!

It's for you.

- For me?

- Yes, for you. It sure is easy to fool you.

Did you really think

we were building a refrigerator?

We were afraid you'd find out,

so we put on all the decorations last night.

Come on in.

It's just lovely.

You've all been such wonderful friends.

This is the first real home I've ever had.

I'm so happy I could...
