King Solomon's Mines Page #3

BUT I'D DO IT AGAIN.

READY TO:

COME BACK?

I'M NOT

COMING BACK.

I MADE UP ME MIND

TO GO AFTER ME FATHER

AND I'M GOING.

NOT IN MY WAGON.

I DON'T WANT YOUR

WAGON ANYMORE.

YOU CAN'T TAKE A WAGON

OVER THE DESERT BECAUSE

YOU CAN'T TAKE ANY OXEN.

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY:

DRINK TOO MUCH.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

I DID, INKOOSI.

WHAT ARE YOU:

DOING HERE?

[Kathy]

I BROUGHT HIM.

LOOK, KATHY, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT THIS MAN'S

BEEN TELLING YOU,

BUT I GIVE YOU:

MY WORD NO ONE CAN

CROSS THAT DESERT.

HOW DOES:

THE INKOOSI KNOW?

I'M GONNA TRY.

I'M NOT AFRAID.

THE INKOOSIKAS:

IS READY.

I'M IN CHARGE

HERE. CLEAR OUT!

WAIT, WE CAN'T

LET THESE 2

GO ALONE,

BUT WHY:

SHOULDN'T WE

GO WITH THEM?

GOOD SUGGESTION.

SOLVES THE PROBLEM.

I WON'T HAVE IT.

NOBODY'S ASKING YOU.

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED

TO GO HUNTING.

YOU KNOW, HUNTING,

FISHING, ANYTHING WITH A

LITTLE ADVENTURE IN IT.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MEN

DIE FOR LACK OF WATER?

THIRST, BURNING THIRST

THAT TURNS TO PAIN.

TORTURE, THEN

YOU GO MAD:

AND THE SUN:

KILLS YOU.

IMAGINATIVE:

FELLOW, ISN'T HE?

QUARTERMAIN.

I'M SORRY OUR TRIP'S

HAD TO END LIKE THIS.

HOW DO YOU:

MEAN "END"?

WE'LL BE AWAY

FOR SOME TIME.

CAN'T ASK YOU

TO WAIT FOR US.

SIR HENRY CURTIS,

I WAS ENGAGED TO

TAKE YOU UPCOUNTRY

AND TO BRING YOU

BACK TO THE BEST

OF MY ABILITY.

I HAPPEN TO BE A

MAN WHO RESPECTS

A CONTRACT.

I'M LINING

UP WITH THE:

REST OF YOU.

YOU'RE A GOOD

FELLOW, QUARTERMAIN.

ON THE CONTRARY,

I'M A FOOL.

HOW ARE YOUR FEET?

ALL RIGHT.

HOW ARE YOURS?

FINE.

NICE ABOUT OUR FEET,

ISN'T IT?

ARE YOU REALLY GOING

ALL THROUGH THIS

JUST FOR DIAMONDS?

THE INKOOSI:

SAYS SO.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

I'M ASKING YOU.

WHY IS:

INKOOSI GOING?

BLESSED IF:

I KNOW.

YOU'RE NOT ONE

FOR A BIT OF:

GOSSIP, ARE YOU?

THE MOUNTAINS DON'T

SEEM TO GET ANY:

NEARER, DO THEY?

NO, THEY DON'T,

DO THEY?

NO--NO, THEY--

NO, THEY DON'T.

FEELING BETTER?

MUST YOU KEEP:

ON ASKING ME?

I NEEDN'T.

I'D SURE MISS IT

IF YOU DIDN'T.

HOW LONG WILL:

THE WATER LAST?

TOMORROW.

IF I--

IF I DON'T GET

ANOTHER CHANCE,

I'M SORRY ABOUT

EVERYTHING.

WHAT ARE THOSE:

BIRDS UP THERE?

[Umbopa]

ASSVOGELS.

THEY MUST BE TO LIVE

IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.

WE CALL THEM:

"THE BIRD THAT

SMELLS DEATH."

HUH? OH.

GOOD! COME HERE.

O'BRIEN'S WAGON.

GO BACK AND:

KEEP HER TALKING.

FETCH THE OTHERS.

[Henry]

THAT'S THE LAST

RATION OF WATER.

HALF A BOTTLE EACH.

THAT'S GOOD, I--

I SEE BY THE MAP THAT

WE OUGHT TO GET TO PAN BAD

WATER BY MIDDAY TOMORROW.

WHY'S IT CALLED

"PAN BAD WATER"?

BECAUSE IN 300 YEARS

IT MAY HAVE DRIED UP.

OH...

OH, I SEE, YES.

GO ON,

DRINK IT.

WHAT'S THE

USE, CURTIS?

THERE'S NO POINT

IN HER SURVIVING US.

SAND! GO DOWN!

RUN!

[Wind whistling]

[Wind howling]

I SMELL WATER.

I SMELL WATER.

I SMELL WATER.

[Speaking Kukuana]

[Shouting]

[Speaking Kukuana]

LOOK! THE MOUNTAINS

ARE NEAR!

[Umbopa]

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

TILL I'M HOLDING

THE CLOUDS IN MY HAND

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

TILL THE WORLD:

IS BELOW WHERE I STAND

CLIMBING UP:

TO THE LAND THAT I KNOW

MUST LIE OVER THAT MOUNTAIN

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

FOR MY HEART IS:

AWAY IN THAT LAND

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

[Echoing]

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

OH YOU MOUNTAIN:

[Echoing]

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

OH YOU MOUNTAIN:

GONNA CLIMB YOU:

[Echoing]

CLIMB YOU:

GONNA CLIMB YOU:

[Echoing]

GONNA CLIMB YOU:

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

[Echoing]

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

TILL I'M HOLDING

THE CLOUDS IN MY HAND

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

TILL THE WORLD IS

BELOW WHERE I STAND

CLIMBING UP:

TO THE LAND THAT I KNOW

MUST LIE OVER THAT MOUNTAIN

CLIMBING UP:

CLIMBING UP:

FOR MY HEART IS:

AWAY IN THAT LAND

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

[Echoing]

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

OH YOU MOUNTAIN:

MIGHTY MOUNTAIN:

BREAKFAST READY?

[Kathy]

NEARLY.

WE HAD MELONS FOR

BREAKFAST YESTERDAY.

WE DID.

AND MELONS:

THE DAY BEFORE.

WE DID.

I SUPPOSE WE'RE GONNA

HAVE MELONS TODAY?

[Both]

WE ARE.

DON'T THE BIRDS

IN THIS COUNTRY:

EVER LAY EGGS?

I WONDER HOW:

FAR ME FATHER:

IS AHEAD OF US?

YOU SURE HE:

GOT THIS FAR?

OF COURSE I AM.

PATRICK O'BRIEN HAS

ALWAYS DONE WHAT HE

SET HIS MIND TO.

WHAT DID YOU THINK

ABOUT IN THE DESERT?

SAND, MOSTLY.

DID YOU EVER:

THINK OF ME?

YES...

YOU AND:

THE SAND.

I'M GLAD OF THAT BECAUSE

YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF

ME IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

AM I?

I'M AFRAID YOU

CAN'T AVOID IT.

YOU SEE, WE'RE IN

UNINHABITED COUNTRY.

I HATE TO CONTRADICT

YOU BUT,

THERE'S A MAN

BEHIND THAT ROCK--

SEVERAL MEN.

THEY SEEM ANXIOUS

TO MEET US.

MUCH TOO ANXIOUS.

[Shouting in Kukuana]

WHAT'S HAPPENED?

THEY SAY, "WHAT MANNER

OF MAN IS THIS WITH THE

BEAUTIFUL WHITE LEGS,

"WHO GROWS HAIR ON

ONE SIDE OF HIS FACE

"AND CAN PLUCK HIS EYE

FROM HIS HEAD AND REPLACE

IT WHERE IT GROWS?"

[Speaking Kukuana]

HE'S TELLING THEM YOU ARE

WHITE GODS FROM THE SKIES.

YOU MEAN, ON ACCOUNT

OF MY LEGS?

I NEVER THOUGHT:

THEY WERE AS GOOD

AS ALL THAT.

[Speaking Kukuana]

HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE

THAT BETTER IF HE'D

BEEN AN IRISHMAN.

[Drum beating]

[Drums beating]

[Chanting]

[Speaking Kukuana]

[Man shouting]

[Chanting, drums beating]

[Shouting in Kukuana]

[Chanting and drumming]

THERE ARE A LOT OF

PEOPLE ABOUT FOR

AN UNINHABITED COUNTRY.

[Quartermain]

THIS IS A MILITARY CROWD.

I HOPE THE:

COOKING'S GOOD.

THOSE ARE THE:

SOLDIERS' QUARTERS.

THAT'S THE KING'S HUT.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND

WILLINGTON BARRACKS.

SO UNLIKE THE HOME

LIFE OF OUR DEAR

QUEEN, ISN'T IT?

SUPPOSE PATRICK:

O'BRIEN'S IN THERE?

DON'T WORRY.

ME FATHER'S GONE

AFTER DIAMONDS.

KING SOLOMON'S MINES,

THAT'S WHERE

WE'LL FIND HIM.

IF THERE IS:

SUCH A MINE.

[Speaking Kukuana]

I SUPPOSE HE SAYS

HE ISN'T IN.

HE SAID, "THE

TWALA, THE KING

"WILL SEE THE STRANGERS

WHO COME TO HIS LAND

AND CLAIM TO BE GODS."

[Cheering]

I DON'T LIKE THE

LOOK OF THEIR SPEARS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

THEY THINK:

WE'RE GODS.

I HOPE THE:

TWALA DOES.

HEAD UP. IF HE

THINKS WE'RE AFRAID

ANYTHING MAY HAPPEN.

[Speaking Kukuana]

HA HA HA HA...

[Shouting]

WOULD IT DO ANY GOOD

IF I WHIPPED OFF MY

TROUSERS, DO YOU THINK?

[Speaking Kukuana]

HE ASKS,"WHY DO

THE GODS HONOR:

HIS KINGDOM?

"IS IT THE WHITE

STONES THEY SEEK?"

DIAMONDS!

THERE IS A MINE.

TELL HIM YES.

[Speaking Kukuana]

[Speaking Kukuana]

HE'S GONNA

TAKE US.

KING SOLOMON'S

MINES.

THE GREATEST:

TREASURE IN:

THE WORLD.

WITH ME FATHER:

INSIDE FILLING:

HIS POCKETS.

[Shouting orders]

[Crowd murmuring]

IT SEEMS THEY:

ARE NICE FELLOWS

AFTER ALL.

I HOPE:

YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING

TO DO WITH YOUR SHARE

OF THE MONEY?

IF WE GET OUT OF THIS,

GO BACK TO ENGLAND

AND KEEP SHEEP.

I THINK I'LL BUY MYSELF

A BATTLESHIP AND

REJOIN THE NAVY.

[Chanting]

SCARED?

OF COURSE:

I'M NOT.

NOT VERY.

KING SOLOMON'S ROAD

AND THE SILENT:

ONES TO GUARD IT,

BROKEN AND:

OVERGROWN.

I WONDER HOW MANY

CIVILIZATIONS HAVE

PERISHED LIKE THIS ONE?

SOLOMON HAD:

NOTHING TO DO:

WITH IDOLS.

THE PHOENICIANS DID.
