No? Why Not?

It's His Boat.

He's The Captain.

He's The One Who

Told Us To Jump Off,

That He'd

Come Back For Us.

Because Blaming Someone

Doesn't Solve Anything.

Oh, Did Jake

Tell You That, Too?

No.

My Dad Did.

Hey...

We're Gonna Be Ok.

I Promise.

What Are We Gonna Do?

Well...

I Told Your Mom I'd

Take Care Of You, Right?

So...That's What

I'm Gonna Do.

I'm Gonna

Take Care Of You.

You Hungry?

Ok, Buddy.

What Do You Think?

I Mean, You Know,

It's Not The, Uh...

It's Not The Tree House

You Built At The Ranch,

But It's Solid

As A Rock, And...

It's Gonna Protect Us

If It Rains.

Yeah.

Come Here.

Look At This View, Huh?

You Know How Much

This View Would Cost

If We Were In Malibu?

[Thunder]

Michael:
Here We Go.

Nice Little Fishy.

If We Get One,

How Are We Gonna

Cook It?

You Like Sushi, Right?

Never Had It.

Never? Ah, You're Gonna

Love It. It's Great.

It's Real Good

For You, Too.

Very High In Protein.

Aah!

[Shouts]

What Am I Doin' Wrong?

I Don't Know...

But I Could Sure Go

For One Of Mark's Steak

Sandwiches Right Now.

Who's Mark?

Just Some Guy

My Mom Likes.

Your Mom's Seein' Someone?

Well, That's Cool.

You Don't Like Him,

Do You?

What Difference

Does It Make?

We May Never

Get Off This Island.

Come On.

Tommy:
You Know,

Michael,

I Was Reading

In Australia...

They Have These Snakes

Called One Steps.

They Bite You,

And One Step Later,

You're Dead.

Yeah?

They've Also Got Spiders

That Can Jump 10 Feet,

And Saltwater Crocodiles.

The Locals Call 'Em

Man-Eaters.

Tommy, You Couldn't

Have Read Up

On Edible Plant Life

Or Something?

Look!

Bananas. Come On.

Ok, I'm Gonna

Hoist You Up.

Ready? 1, 2, 3.

[Both Grunt]

Get It, Now.

Grab 'Em.

[Grunts]

[Bird Caws]

[Screeches]

Both:
Aah!

Oh!

Both:
Aah! Unh!

[Both Grunt]

Ow! Ow!

Oh, Come Here.

You Ok?

Yeah.

You All Right?

Yeah.

Get Up. Get Up.

What...Was That?!

[Bird Squawks]

I Don't Know.

What's That?

What?

I Don't Know.

Stay Behind Me.

I Think These Mean

Someone Else Was Here...

Hundreds Of Years Ago,

I'm Sure.

Are You Sure?

Yeah.

Be Careful.

You Know,

We Might Just Want

To Stay In Here, Tommy.

Tommy:
Really?

Yeah.

I Mean, It's--

It's Dry And...

It Seems Pretty Safe.

Whoa!

Can You Help Me Out,

Please?

Whoa, Whoa.

Hold On!

I Am.

Aah...Oh!

Ok, Ok.

All Right. I'm Fine.

I'm Fine. I'm Fine.

I Got It. I Got It.

I Got It. Ow!

Are You All Right?

I'm Fine. Let's Go.

Oh.

How Long Do You Think

Those Shrunken Heads

Have Been There?

I'm Not An

Anthropologist, Tommy.

How Would I Know That?

Well, Jake Said

Cannibals Like--

Shh.

[Creature Growls]

What Is It?

I Don't Know.

[Growl]

Where's That Coming From?

I Can't Tell, All Right?

Just Stay Behind Me.

I Don't Want Anyone

To Shrink My Head, Michael.

That Was Hundreds

Of Years Ago.

Nobody Shrinks

Heads Anymore.

[Growl]

All Right.

All Right.

We're Gonna

Get Outta Here, Ok?

Slowly And Quietly,

You Got It?

[Growl]

Let's Go. Let's Go.

Go, Go, Go, Go, Go.

Come On. Don't Look Back.

Just Keep On Movin'. Go.

Come On. Move It.

Hah!

Aah!

[Laughs]

[Laughs]

You--You Think--

You Think

This Is Funny?

Yeah. Yeah, I Do.

You're Ok.

Yeah, I'm Ok.

How You Guys Doin'?

Yeah, Well,

That Wasn't Cool,

You Know?

You Almost Scared

This Kid Half

To Death Here.

Yeah, I Can See That.

I'm Really Sorry

About That.

You Know, I Thought

I Told You Guys

To Stay Put

On The Beach.

Where The Heck Are We?

Uh, We Did, Ok,

But Then We Needed

A Few Things...

Like Food And Shelter.

Michael Built A Shelter

On The Beach Over There.

Oh, On The North Side?

Yeah.

Oh, Man, That's Where

The Wind Comes In.

Yeah, We Know.

It Got Blown To Bits.

Hey! This Is My Shirt.

Oh, Yeah, Yeah.

Yeah, It Is.

I, Uh, Found It

In Your Suitcase

That Washed Up.

This Is A $400 Shirt.

You--You--You Just Tore

The Sleeves Off It?

Yeah...

Guess It's Only Worth

200 Now, Huh?

Tommy:
Wait A Minute.

It Washed Up?

Yeah.

Where's The Boat?

I Had To Scuttle Her.

S-Scuttle It? What--

What Does That Mean?

I, Uh, I Sank Her, Guys.

You Sank Our Boat?

Yeah. I Couldn't

Lose 'Em.

Had To Do Somethin'.

W-W-What Are

We Gonna Do Now?

Tommy:
Yeah, Jake,

I Mean...

What Happens Now?

All Right.

Back Off, Ok?

I'm Building A Raft.

Oh, My--

I Figure We'll Lie

Low For A While,

Give The Pirates

Enough Time

To Move On

And Forget About Us,

Ok, And Then

We'll Get In

A Freighter Lane.

Someone

Might See Us.

It's A Good Plan.

Wait A Minute.

Wait A Minute.

We Don't Need A Raft.

Oh, Are We Gonna

Swim Back?

No, No, No, No.

You Found

My Suitcase, Right?

Jake:
Yeah.

Well--Well--Well,

Tommy--

Tommy Put My Cell Phone

In My Suitcase.

It--It--It's Got

A Satellite Hookup.

You Can Get Service

Anywhere. We're Saved.

Uh, Michael--

Michael:
Where Is It?

Jake:
You Know,

It's At Camp,

And I--I--I Didn't See

A Cell Phone.

No, No, No. That's Probably

'Cause He Put It In One

Of The Zipper Compartments.

Which Zipper Compartment

Did You Put It In, Tommy?

Your Phone Fell Overboard.

Oh, Boy.

What?

No.

Look, I'm Sorry, Ok?

It Was An Accident.

It Fell Out Of My Pocket

Into The Ocean

When I Hooked

This Really Big Fish.

Ok. All Right. Great.

Great. That's--

That's--That's Just--

That's Just Great.

Now We May Never

Get Off This Island.

Hey, I Said I Was Sorry,

All Right?

It Was An Accident.

Oh--Oh--Oh--

I'm Sorry, Tommy.

I Thought

You Could Handle It.

I Mean, Come On, Man.

I Told You To Take

The Phone From Me

And Put It

In The Suitcase.

How Hard Is That?

Jake:
You Know What?

Just Relax, Man.

We're Comin' Apart

Here, Man.

Lighten Up.

Don't--Don't You

Tell Me To Lighten Up,

Captain Kangaroo,

All Right,

Because If Your Boat,

If That's What

You Want To Call It,

Had A Decent Motor,

The Pirates Wouldn't Have

Caught Up To Us, All Right?

We Wouldn't Have Had

To Scuttle It,

And We Wouldn't Be

In This Predicament

Right Now!

Hey, You Know What,

Woods?

If You Want To

Blame Somebody,

Blame Yourself,

'Cause It Wasn't

Me Or My Boat

That Got Us

Into This Trouble,

All Right?

It Sure As Heck

Wasn't Little

Tommy Over There.

No, It Was You, Man,

You Know?

You're Just

A Rich Guy

With Your Labels Out

For Everyone To See.

You're A Great Big

Beacon.

Gimme A Break.

You Know What?

If We Get Off This Island,

I'm Gonna Sue You

For Negligence.

Oh! Oh, You Know What?

That's Fine.

But Until Then,

I'm The Captain,

And I'm In Charge.

Ha! I Don't Think So.

You Know What?

You Go Back Wherever

You Came From.

Just So You Know,

I Got Food, Water,

And Shelter

That Can Stand Up

Against The Wind.

Yeah, That's Fine

With Us.

Come On, Tommy.

Michael:
Come On.

Tommy, Listen To Me.

I Promised Aunt Jules

I Would Take Care

Of You,

And That's What

I'm Gonna Do.

I'm Gonna

Take Care Of You.

Now, Come On.

Come With Us.

You Can't Eat

Any More Coconuts.

Ok. Yeah, Ok.

All Right.

I See What's
