Wives' quarters? You mean your uncle

is going to marry Hazel too?

Unless we can prevent it, yes.

Hey, you know, being a termite

makes you mighty thirsty.

Come, we must go to Hazel's rescue.

We'll use the passage

behind the portrait.

Seize him.

Quick. Hurry.

Ambition is a fine thing,

but not in a nephew.

By nightfall, I'll stifle that forever.

Take him away.

Those two termites

will find my guards waiting for them...

...at the end of the passageway.

And what do you think of that,

my painted beauty?

Get out of the way, please. L...

You two no move.

You bad spies. Everyone looking for.

We're not spies, I told you.

We're Hollywood talent scouts.

We can't take you to Hollywood

till we get the blond girl out.

- Yeah.

- All right, I will help you.

- Here they come.

- Here they come. Look out.

Look out!

There.

Hollywood talent scouts.

Take to harem.

Hollywood, in here.

- Hollywood?

- Bobo say two talent scouts.

Wonderful.

Garvey and Johnson Laundry.

You soil it, we boil it.

- Never mind.

- You wear it, we tear it.

We call Mondays for your undies.

That's enough now. Take it easy.

I want to go to Hollywood.

Tell her anything as long we find...

Hazel.

Now, we will take you to Hollywood,

but first...

...we have to get that blond girl

out of there.

No, huh? No.

I have the only key

that will open the door...

...and I'm keeping that so that

Nimativ cannot reach her to marry her.

- No, no, no.

- No, no, no.

At least give us a sporting chance.

Look, I'll do you a favor, a big favor.

You give us the key

and we'll get the blond out...

...and away from your husband.

- Yeah.

Not until I'm sure

that you'll get me in the movies.

- Open up. Open up.

- My husband.

Girls, hide these Hollywood talent scouts.

All right, now,

what are we going to do?

Hey, under the couch.

Under the couch, come on.

Open up.

Get under that couch. All right.

All right, put it down.

Hey!

- Where are they?

- We're all here.

I mean the two Americans.

We've searched the palace,

they must be here.

- But... But...

- But what?

But.

When I get my hands on them,

I'll bash their heads in.

Oh, my future wife.

I'm neglecting her.

Oh, my bride-to-be is not happy.

I must console her.

You've picked my pocket again.

Where's the key?

- Why, I didn't...

- The key!

Now that my fair beauty

is safe from you...

...I can concentrate

on capturing these two Americans.

I know what I'll do.

I'll put a heavy price on their heads.

Amuse me.

Beautiful, isn't she?

But, Neemo,

why must you marry this girl?

Because she's young, she's beautiful.

Besides, she's a blond.

- Blonds are fickle.

- Blonds are scarce.

It isn't that we girls are jealous...

...but this foreign girl

will not bring you happiness.

Perhaps you're right.

I was driven mad with jealousy

when I thought of those two men in here.

I'll release the blond...

...and we can all go

on a second honeymoon.

The key.

It's gone.

You picked my pocket again.

Forgive me. I will return it.

- It is gone.

- Gone?

Well, without the key,

I can't release the girl.

- Give him the key.

- I'll give it to him.

- Hurry up. Hurry up.

- Okay.

Just to teach you a lesson,

I'm going to marry that girl within an hour.

- Here's your key. You're welcome.

- Thank you.

Open the doors!

Open this door.

Open this door.

Did you see two men

come through here?

- Hello.

- Well...

...you're a cute little man.

How old are you?

- Twenty-seven.

- Twenty-seven!

Twenty-seven months.

Yes, sir.

And my mommy will tell you how old I am.

Won't you, Mama?

Guards!

Take him out of...

We have got him.

Here we go again.

All on account of you.

Spend the rest of our days in jail.

- Do not worry. I will get you out.

- Who's going to get you out?

All right. All right, take it easy.

Take it easy.

- Always being thrown in jail.

- I'm sorry, Pete.

You should be.

Prince. Prince.

- Your loyal followers have arrived.

- Good.

Tell them to wait on the north side

for my signal.

Quick. You'll be seen.

- You gotta get me out of here.

- Yes.

Let's find a way to get out.

We've got to.

I'd rather be in that jail...

...with that crazy guy

from the banks of the Pokomoko.

Pokomoko.

Slowly I turned...

- All right. All right, Harvey. Harvey.

- Pete.

- Pete!

- Harvey.

Step by step.

- Step by step...

- Pete!

- Pete!

- All right. All right.

- Pete!

- And when I showed...

- Wait a minute.

- You leave me alone.

Don't you remember us?

We were in that other jail with you.

Sure you do.

I will help you escape from here.

- You can do that?

- You will?

- You have made a powerful friend.

- Swell.

We will.

Quiet. Listen to the man.

I know a secret passage

that will take us out.

Go ahead.

- Follow me.

- Go ahead. Follow him.

- Okay.

- Go ahead.

Where are you taking me to?

I'm not taking you no place.

You're taking me. Don't you remember?

- You wanna get out of this dungeon?

- Sure.

- Well, come along.

- Come on.

- And bring your camel with you.

- Okay.

- Camel?

- Come on.

Get your hands down.

Go ahead with the man.

Go ahead.

At last, we are free.

At last, I am out! I am out!

You're out of your mind.

We're back in the same place!

- Quiet.

- I mean, after all...

Wait, you're attracting

a crowd of people.

You see? Now you're making me

attract a crowd of...

Whose side are you on?

Quiet.

People will think you're crazy.

And I suppose

you're all right?

- Of course.

- Of course.

I have a brother who is crazy.

But I'm all right.

- Who told you?

- My brother.

- That does it, brother.

- Be quiet.

- Take your foot off that man's head.

- Man's head? Pete!

Look, will you please tell your brother

to stay away from me?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Quiet. You'll arouse the keepers.

We must hide until nightfall.

Come, we will go

to my friend Mike's place.

- How far is it?

- It's only 10 miles. Let's go.

- Here we are.

- Here we are?

- Yes.

- How come you got here before us?

- Yes?

- Look, come on, let's go into Mike's place.

Yes, let's go into Mike's place.

I don't want to go in now because

I'm too tired. I just had a 10-mile hike.

- Very well. Then I will carry you.

- Oh, you will?

- Bend over. I'll get on your back.

- Oh, good.

Get off of my back!

- Come on, let's get going.

- Come on.

Don't walk through Mike's door.

- Open the door.

- Open the door first.

I was in Mike's place

and didn't know it?

- Yes.

- Open the door and go ahead.

Open it up.

- Come in.

- Thank you.

Come on.

Well, close the door.

Close the door, please.

Mike's place.

- Did you hear it?

- Yeah.

- Mike's not here.

- No. I didn't think so.

- We'll make ourselves at home.

- Yes, sure.

- I'll play the piano.

- Piano?

Where's he gonna get a piano?

All right. Take it easy.

Would you care to play?

- No. No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Go ahead and play.

- I don't wanna.

- What've you got to lose?

There's no piano over there.

What do you care?
