Five Came Back Page #5

And yet, everyone here except myself

Is living for the day when

all this will come to an end.

That is how tightly modern living

Has become wrapped up in nonessentials.

Personally, I should be happy

To spend all my life here.

So you see, even in the

jungle, I'm antisocial.

I doubt that.

See, this experience

has changed most of us.

Bill is more human.

Alice has grown stronger.

Ellis has grown a little weaker.

Our friend Pete developed

a paternal affection

For little Tommy...

and you, Vasquez,

I think it's changed

you more than anyone.

Possibly, although it seems to me

I have noticed some change

In you people, too.

Quite right. Quite a change.

One I'm sure will make you very happy.

Thank you for the pin, Mrs. Spengler.

You know, Henry...

uh-Huh?

I'm afraid you'll think

I'm a little crazy, but...

in a way, I'm glad the plane crashed.

I think I am, too.

We've rediscovered

each other, haven't we?

What are you doing in there?

Getting myself a drink.

Well, why didn't you ask for one?

'Cause I wouldn't get it.

Give me that.

Give me that.

Why don't you mind your own business?

What's going on here?

Oh. This, huh?

I caught him stealing from my bag.

I don't want anymore drinking

Going on here, understand?

Oh, you don't, eh?

Well, we'll see about that.

I'm getting tired of

being bossed around by you.

You know, Judson, I'd

hate to have to hit you.

Now, you do what I tell you.

Wasn't my fault.

Martha, we'll get back to our laundry.

You see, he stole my liquor.

That's tough.

Alice.

Jud, you've got to

pull yourself together.

Oh, so you're against me, too, eh?

No, I'm not,

Jud. It's just...

Yes, you are.

Everybody in this whole outfit's

Acting like a Pollyanna, including you.

We might as well face the...

well, we might as well face the facts.

Well, aren't you going to say anything?

I was thinking of what you just said.

We might as well face the facts.

Alice?

He's going to be all right.

He's just a little

mixed-Up, that's all.

Yeah. I suppose so.

You know, any man might go a bit haywire

In a situation like this.

Bill didn't.

Professor Spengler didn't.

Neither did Vasquez...

or you.

He hasn't been any help, has he?

Has he?

Crimp? Hey, crimp?

Find any trace of him, Joe?

No. I've been a mile upstream.

He's been gone about seven hours.

No signs of him, eh?

Nope.

Wouldn't it be unfortunate

If something has happened him?

The man is a fool.

He's probably sulking

around here someplace.

He'll be back.

Yes, if nothing has happened to him.

I suppose you're going

to start blabbering

About Indians again the

way you did on the plane.

Is there Indians around here?

Sure, there are.

Ask your uncle Henry.

Very bad Indians, too.

They get you and cut your head off.

Justin, for heaven's sake, be quiet.

Listen you, if you're

trying to scare this kid,

I'm going to poke you in the jaw.

Henry, you don't

really think there's any danger?

No, my dear, of course not.

We're too far north.

Why all the fuss

Just because a man has

been away a few hours?

He'd better be back soon.

Why?

Because with any luck at all,

We'll be out of here by tomorrow.

That means I get to see my daddy.

Yeah, sure.

I'll be so happy to see him.

It's time for you to go to bed, kid.

May I take him, Pete?

Here, you go on with your aunt Peggy.

Come on.

So we're getting out of here, huh?

Yeah, looks like it.

Back to our normal living, huh?

To you, Mr. Ellis, it will

mean marriage and happiness.

I think I'll turn in.

Alice, I want to talk to you.

We'll talk tomorrow.

No. Now.

I don't care what those fellows say.

They'll never get that

thing in the air again.

We'll know tomorrow for sure.

Do you realize that we might

be stuck here from now on?

Do you know what that means?

Yes, but if we are,

We'll just have to make

the best of it, that's all.

Exactly.

If we do get out of here,

We can be married right away...

but supposing we don't get out of here?

You better leave...

before I call someone.

All right.

You better go to bed, too.

We're getting out of here tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night.

You know, she's all right.

Well, she is.

Come on, boy.

Bill?

Yes, sir?

I don't want to be an alarmist,

But I think you ought to

keep special watch tonight.

Why?

I'm pretty confident I

heard the sound of drums.

Where?

Over there. At intervals.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but...

whether you were or not,

We'd better keep it to ourselves.

And double the watch.

All right, Joe! Kill it!

Great

work, men! Great work!

Well, now we've got to

finish clearing a runway.

That'll be a big job.

I wish we had a lawn mower.

Well, if we work hard, we

ought to finish by tonight.

What are you going to do about crimp?

He ought to have been here

this morning, unless...

Let's not worry about

him now. He'll be back.

Come on, boys.

Come on, little monkey.

Won't you have something to eat?

Please don't feel frightened.

I won't hurt you.

Here, junior.

Hey, junior.

Water boy?

Water boy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Has anybody seen him?

Ain't he around?

Maybe he went to sleep somewhere.

What if he's run off in that jungle

And gotten lost?

I'm going to look for him.

Better take your gun, Pete.

I got it.

I'm going to look, too.

Careful, Peggy.

Tommy!

Tommy?

Tommy!

Here's the water pan.

He must be somewhere on the other side.

Tommy?

Tommy?

Tommy?

Here I am.

Darling!

I ought to wham the

daylights out of you,

Scaring everybody to death.

I found Mr. Crimp.

Where?

Over there.

Don't make any noise. He's asleep.

Show me.

Take him.

Oh, Pete!

We better get back to camp right away.

You take the kid back. I'll stay here.

Oh, Pete, no!

Go on. Do like I say. I

can take care of myself.

Run!

Give her a hand.

I should think this is about

as light as we can get it.

Every ounce counts.

We've got to climb fast

If we're going to clear those trees.

Hurry up.

Here comes Peggy. She's

got Tommy with her.

Tommy.

Thank heaven you're safe!

Is he all right?

He's all right.

Where's Pete?

He stayed back there.

Back where?

Where we found crimp.

Crimp's dead.

He's been killed.

We'd better get out of here

Before we're all killed.

We're not going to leave without Pete.

Here he comes.

Uncle Pete! Uncle Pete!

Tommy, go in.

Poison dart.

We'd better get him on the plane.

No. You guys better get going.

Is Tommy all right?

Yes. He's safe.

Tell him, his old man...

I'm taking care of him.

He's gone.

Everybody on the plane. Quick!

We can't leave him here like this.

The lighter we are,

The better chance we have of taking off.

Go on. Move.

Come on, Peggy.

Go on, Vasquez. We can't

spare any more time.

Everybody on the plane, fast!

Bring those water bottles!

I hope she'll lift.

They've got to be racing when we try it.

Well, here we go.

There goes an oil line.

What happened?

Oil line on the left engine let go.

Can you fix it?

Well, I can try.

I hope we have enough time.
