You're filling me.

You take a little now!

See how you like it.

Um! That's marvelous!

Kiss me!

Suppose I make you kiss me?

I'll teach you to run away from me!

Rain!

Say! I fell like a potato bug!

We can't run under these

leaves every time it rains.

I've go to build a house.

House?

Yeah! A place to live in.

A shelter. You know, a place to sleep.

Oh, yeah! Well, that, too!

Let it rain, let it pour!

Well, do you like it?

Oh! Johnny!

Finish house, huh?

It's a palace, it's a castle.

Look, Whiskers, now you

have place for sleep!

Hey, Nick! I didn't build that house

for the goat, I built for you and me.

You do everything.

Yeah, I'm a great guy all right.

You happy?

And when the gang comes back,

I'm gonna take you home with me.

No, Johnny.

No!

Oh, why not?

Some day, Pele angry.

Tom-toms call,

I go.

You mean to the volcano?

I won't let you go.

You belong to me now, see?

If I not here here when

Pele calls, then Pele angry.

You too!

Volcano curse on you.

- You die, too.

- Aw! Now, thats a lot of hooey!

I'm not afraid of Pele and what

the volcano curse can do to me.

And you're not gonna be afraid either.

I'm gonna take you

back to civilization.

We don't have any crazy,

superstitious ideas about

volcanoes being mad at people

and putting a curse on 'em.

Civilization?

Where is that?

Well, it's...that's not a place.

That's where things are happening,

people are accomplishing something.

Did I tell you about the radio?

Well, all you do is sit there

and turn a little dial,

and all of a sudden, out of the air

comes sound. Right where you are.

Isn't that swell?

Now, look, it's getting dark.

Now, if we were in

San Francisco, bingo!

I'd press a button..lights!

Oh, Johnny, but it is

so nice in the dark.

Say, Luana, you certainly

make civilization look silly.

But it's not, really!

It's great!

Gee, wait 'til you see it!

Market Street with all

its traffic and lights.

People going to theaters. Hotels

with grand, tiled bathrooms...

Hot water running into steaming tubs.

Restaurants where they serve grand food.

Parties, football games, dances.

Speed boats, airplanes

roaring through the air.

Gee, Luana, civilization's...

You're a sweet kid.

Pele, Pele!

Johnny

Johnny!

Oh, Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny!

Johnny!

Luana!

What are they gonna do to you?!?

What are they gonna do to you?!?!?

I make big sin, Johnny.

They give me to Pele.

Aw, you haven't sinned.

I loved you and you loved me,

that's all there is to it!

But I taboo for white man, Johnny.

That's not true!

Oh, I caused all this.

I am happy, Johnny.

I happy you steal me away

and we live together.

I happy you teach me kiss.

I happy you hold me.

I happy for everything!

It was best thing that ever come to me.

I thought I just had a yen for ya.

I thought this was only gonna be a lark!

Oh, but I love you, Luana.

I love you more than

I've ever loved anyone.

More than I COULD love anyone!

Thank you very much...Johnny.

What do you want?

Do you understand? What do you want?

Let her go! Let her go!

I'll give you anything you want.

Ships, knives, canoes, anything.

Only, but let her go, please, please!

Oh, Johnny.

What is it?

Whatsa matter, Luana?

What did he say?

Prince say now you come for me,

Pele angry.

Volcano curse on you!

Prince say you die...too.

Well, that's all right.

That's sort of as it should be.

No, that's wrong!

I sin, Pele God He angry at me.

No, Pele is no God, Luana.

He's only a hole in the ground.

There's only one God, Luana.

Oh, God, help us.

Get her out of this.

It's Pele.

"Our Father which art in heaven,"

"Hallowed be thy name."

"Thy kingdom come,"

"Thy will be done, on

earth as it is in heaven."

They're coming for us!

I've got to kiss you, Luana!

Try! See if you can reach me!

Let her alone!

Oh, do what you want to me!

Let her alone!

Don't shoot anymore, Skipper

Wait and see what happens.

Quiet!

Yeah, that'll fix ya up, young fella.

And don't you move that arm!

That's a bad hole they put in you.

Why, hello, Luana.

Johnny...die?

No, no, no!

There is nothing to worry about.

In a day or two he'll

be just as good as new.

No savvy, huh?

Johnny...well...one...two...day.

Understand?

Come here, come here!

Come on now, there's

nothing to be afraid of.

Come on, you come up on deck with me.

Johnny...all right!

You come on now!

No.

How is he, Mac?

He's still feverish,

but he'll put out all right.

Well, Fellas, what's the verdict?

Does she go with us

or does she stay here?

I still contend that she

won't stand transplanting.

You know, you take a girl
