Herbie Goes Bananas Page #5

Synopsis: Pete Stancheck inherits from his Uncle Jim Douglas a race car being stored in Puerto Vallarta. With his friend Davy Johns (D.J. to his friends) accompanying him to P.V., Pete is dismayed to learn that the car is an older model Volkswagen Beetle. But when Pete and D.J. see what the car can do and learn that it somewhat has a mind of its own, they decide to enter it into the Brazil Grand Primeo formula one race. En route to Rio de Janeiro, Herbie, the car, gets Pete and D.J. into one predicament after another as it tries to help its new friend, a streetwise orphan named Paco, who Pete and D.J. encountered in P.V. and who stowed away in Herbie's trunk. Because of these predicaments, Pete and D.J. end up requiring a quick influx of cash and slyly enlist the help of wealthy Louise Trent and her bookish niece, anthropology doctoral candidate Melissa, to be their financiers. Pete's role in the scheme is to woo the shy Melissa, about which he feels guilty. But initially unknown to all of them,

- The car does, I'm sure.

Well, ask it. I would,

but we're not on speaking terms.

This is ridiculous.

Somebody ought to do something.

We better just sit tight.

Easy for you.

Ocho!

Paco.

What are you doing out here

in the jungle? We were worried sick.

Those men were stealing gold.

Big gold like this.

Where'd they get gold

around here?

Right there.

It looks like Inca ruins.

S, it's Inca.

They will fly away the gold

and melt it. I hear them.

I'll see that the matter

is brought to the attention

of the proper authorities

when we put in at Rio.

That might be too late.

Go, Ocho!

What's that?

Come on. Give us a hand.

Let's keep moving.

Oh, no.

It's that car!

- It ate it. It ate the gold!

- How did it get out here?

- There goes a million bucks.

- No way!

700 miles on a banana boat

with wheels.

I'll be laughed

off the Caribbean.

It worked, didn't it? Those men

in the airplane couldn't find us.

It was a good idea, Paco.

How much farther?

We're practically there.

Okay, get ready to peel off.

Sorry.

We're looking

for Dr. De Moraes's office.

He's upstairs,

in the main building.

I'll call the police.

Hello.

You go on.

I'll wait here.

May I use your phone?

It's very important. Thank you.

Hey!

Are you going towards the sea? It's

vitally important I return to my ship.

Wait! Wait!

- Dr. De Moraes?

- Yes?

You have no idea what we've gone

through to get this to you.

And what we've gone through

to get it from you.

When we couldn't find you on the highway,

we decided that you'd either...

...gone to the nearest

police station...

...or to the world's foremost

authority on Inca civilization.

I guessed right.

Nice ripe bananas.

Nice ripe bananas. Get them

while they last. Very cheap.

Nice ripe bananas.

Let's make a deal on a peel.

Let's do this thing together. I don't

want this to get away from us.

Ocho, listen. Sounds like the plane

those men had. Let's go see.

They can't do anything.

Come on.

Ocho, what are you gonna do?

They're taking the gold.

Attaboy, Ocho!

Easy. Whoa!

Sorry, boss!

- Hey, come on! Hurry up, let's go!

- Get this thing off of me!

Cut it out, will you?

It's heavy!

- Get off my foot!

- I'm not on your foot.

Help me get to the plane.

Ready? Fire!

Say what you want about voodoo...

...but where I come from,

cars don't throw bananas.

Just get it in the plane!

Ocho, they're getting away.

Hurry!

Come on. Let's get this thing

out of here.

With this extra weight,

I'll need the whole field to take off.

Hurry up.

Here it comes again.

You think he's gonna try

and hijack us?

Anything's possible

with that thing!

Get 'em, Ocho!

Stay with 'em!

- I wonder what it's gonna do now?

- I don't know.

Well, take off.

Come on, take off!

I'm trying!

Shake 'em, Ocho!

I can't take off with all that

weight in the tail. Go get it.

- Catch it when I raise the tail.

- Gotcha.

Go for it, Ocho.

Now!

Hang on!

Shake it off!

He's gonna ram us!

Do something!

- Why are we going in circles?

- Because he broke my tail.

Get in front of him.

Make him stop.

Get this thing off the ground.

- We're gonna hit him. Pull up!

- She's stalling!

- What's the matter?

- The throttle jammed open!

My wings!

- Can you step it up?

- I'm hurrying!

- Help. Move your feet forward.

- Got it.

Polica. I'm so glad you're here.

I was the one who called you.

Stay with 'em! Go, go.

He's hurting!

Can't you go any faster?

The oil pressure's down.

I don't want to ruin my plane!

They've got the gold!

Stop.

Don't let them get away!

Okay, Ocho, you got 'em now.

Give it to 'em!

You did it!

Paco. Paco!

That's it. Paco.

Are you all right?

Ocho and me, we're okay.

You ought to see those other guys.

Gorgeous. Just magnificent!

I always felt, Captain, that you

have a deep appreciation for...

...beauty.

I've never seen anything like it.

Any man of the sea who wouldn't

want her rolling under him...

...is ready for dry dock.

Wow!

Magnificent!

I'm not admitting the kid's

a better driver than I am.

But he sure can get more

out of that car than I can.

They're really...

Simptico.

Yeah. Simptico.

Well?

If I had billowed out like a schooner

under full sail, I might've...

...shivered his timbers.

- I hope we win this one.

- Don't you worry, Aunt Louise.

This car's gonna win

the Gran Premio of Brazil.

That's right.

Driver, start your engine!

Paco, Paco. Muy bueno.

Looking good, Ocho.

Why do you keep calling

this car Ocho? Ocho means eight.

Can't you read numbers?

Sure I can. Five and three

are eight. Anyone knows that.

Well, let's have a toast.

To victory in Rio.

Victory in Rio.
