Napoleon and Samantha Page #4

---

Goodbye, Napoleon.

I really wouldn't mind going with you,

I mean...

if you're afraid or anything.

Afraid! Why would I be afraid?

I mean, I've got Maj with me, haven't I?

Afraid.

I'm sorry.

Bye, Napoleon.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm coming with you.

- No, you're not. What about Gertrude?

- She'll be all right.

What do you mean

"she'll be all right?"

I left her a note. Said I was gonna

stay with you and your grandpa.

Please, Napoleon.

I want to be with you.

You'll get scared.

No, I won't.

- Not with you and Maj to protect me.

- [Napoleon] Well...

OK. But you gotta promise never to cry.

I promise.

OK. Come on.

[Laughs]

Napoleon!

[Sam] Napoleon!

[Roars]

- [Sam] Napoleon, help!

- [Napoleon] What? Whas wrong?

Napoleon, look!

[Napoleon] Oh, no.

[Napoleon] Go get him, Maj!

Go get him!

Go get him, Maj!

[Sam] Come on! Get him, Maj!

[Napoleon] Come on, fly Doodle-Doo!

[Sam] Get out of here!

[Napoleon] Get out of here!

Go on! Get!

[Lion roars]

That a boy, Maj. You really showed him.

Here, Doodle. Here, boy. Come on.

Come on, boy.

He's OK. Just a little scared. There.

What are you shaking for?

I thought it was gonna get me,

Napoleon, I...

Don't worry. Nothing's gonna get you

as long as Maj is around.

Here.

I'll give him some of my sandwich.

He loves it.

Why won't he come?

'Cause he's a cat.

- Cats don't like water.

- [Lion growls]

- [Sam] Good boy, Major!

- [Napoleon] Oh, Maj.

Oh!

- Aah!

- [Napoleon] Major.

Golly.

If he doesn't like water,

what does he do when it rains?

[Napoleon] Gets wet.

Napoleon?

I don't like to complain,

but my foot hurts.

- I'm tired.

- I know.

I was gonna stop for the night

as soon as I could find a good place.

Hey, waitjust a second.

Hey!

You know something?

There's a barn just over the hill.

We can spend the night there.

We gotta be careful nobody sees us.

Come on.

Come on, Major.

There's nobody there.

Come on. Les go.

Is nice. Glad we found it.

Yeah, is OK for tonight.

Here you go, Doodle.

You'll love it here.

Is not here.

Whas not there?

Pinewood Junction.

I'm looking for the back road

that leads from Gypsey's

up to Danny's place.

Is just not here.

Sure you got the right map?

Of course I'm sure.

We can't see anything at night.

I'll look for it in the morning.

'Night. 'Night, Maj.

[Owl hoots]

[Wings flap]

Napoleon?

Are you scared?

No.

Don't you ever get scared?

[Napoleon] Whas there

to be scared about?

- Lots of things.

- [Napoleon] Like what?

The dark.

The dark never hurt anybody.

Things in the dark.

Things like what?

Things thatjump out and scare you.

Thas all in your imagination.

Still scares me.

Thas kind of dumb. I mean...

my grandpa said that people just

make up things in their mind

to be scared about.

Now go to sleep.

- How do you make it work?

- Easy. You just have to squeeze it.

Don't squeeze too hard,

or she'll kick.

[Napoleon] Hey, it works!

I'm glad we decided to leave him there.

He seems happier.

Yeah, Doodle always liked

to be with hens.

Come on.

[Sam] Is getting awful steep,

Napoleon.

[Napoleon] I told you.

Just don't look down and hang on.

- Napoleon, look at him.

- Aw, Maj.

Thas no place to lie down.

Now get up.

I feel like I'm going to slip.

What am I going to do?

Can't you kind of inch around him?

[Sam] I can't.

Climb right over top of him.

And put your foot right there.

He's just a little scared,

but don't worry.

Give me your hand. Come on.

Now jump.

Gotcha.

OK, there's a level spot.

Now stay there. Is safe.

What are we going to do with him,

Napoleon?

We're gonna have to

get him going again.

Oh, Major.

Major, go, Major.

Go!

Major! Go on, Major.

[Sam] Napoleon!

I'm OK.

I'm OK.

Napoleon.

Napoleon!

Don't get scared.

Just let me think.

I know.

Throw Major's rope down to me.

Maybe ill reach.

There.

OK. Pull me up, Maj!

Pull me up!

Here, Major. Come on, Major.

[Sam] Good boy. Pull.

Thas it! Pull!

- [Sam] Come on, Major.

- Pull! Pull me up!

OK. Made it.

Thanks, Major.

Thanks a lot.

I didn't think anything

would happen to her.

I thought she was with a boy

and his grandfather.

Thas what she wrote in the note.

You read it.

Yes, ma'am.

Did she spend most of her time here?

With Napoleon, yes.

The last time you saw the boy

he was walking down the street

with a strange man. A "hippy type."

Thas right.

He's the one you should be

checking on right now.

Excuse me, Chief.

Is a pity you don't like water.

Makes your feet feel real nice.

[Growls]

Sam! A bear!

Sam! Sam!

Get out of here!

Sam! Sam!

Is a bear, Maj!

Come on, Major! Is a bear!

Come on.

- [Sam] He won't budge!

- [Napoleon] Sam!

Get out!

Come on.

Major, get up. Is a bear!

Don'tjust stand there

drinking your milk. Get up!

Move! Is a bear!

Major!

Go get him. Good.

Good, go get him!

Come on.

- Get him, Major!

- Go away, bear!

Major, go get him!

- Sock it to him!

- Come on!

Yeah!

Good boy.

Good boy, Major.

Major, you saved us!

He sure beat up that old bear.

He's so strong.

Thas why they call him

"king of beasts."

Napoleon, wait.

Just try to imagine something nice

in your mind.

Ill stop you thinking

about being tired.

All I can think about is sitting down.

I bet we'll be able to see Danny's cabin

from the top of this hill.

Chocolate cake with...

strawberry ice cream...

and marshmallows,

and whipped cream, and cherries...

Cake. Apple pie.

Chocolate syrup.

There's nothin'.

[Cries]

- You promised you wouldn't do that.

- I know, but...

My feet hurt, and...

I wish my mom and dad were here.

Do you think we're gonna die?

Die? Of course not.

I know exactly where we are.

Almost.

See those mountains over there?

Those are these here.

We ought to be right about here.

But...

they have a lake right here.

I don't see a lake around here.

Do you?

Napoleon, we're lost.

What are we gonna do?

Maybe we are a little lost right now.

But you know...

we could stay here for weeks and weeks

and live off the land.

- Just like the Indians.

- Could we do that?

Sure.

You're so good at everything.

I really admire you.

I'm sorry I was crying.

Thas OK.

Girls can't help it all the time.

You just stay here and rest.

I'm gonna go on a hunting trip.

Hey, you can't leave me here alone.

Major's with you.

- You'll be right back, won't you?

- Sure.

I'll bring back some food too.

Got him!

Shoot.

Huh?

Just me.

Did you get anything?

- Yeah.

- Whad you get?

- What is it?

- Snails.

I found them under a rock

next to the river.

- You eat 'em?

- Sure. People eat them all the time.

They're really special.

They look horrible.

- Let me see you eat one.

- No, I've already had mine.

I'm not hungry anymore.

I woulve rather have had fish.

Well, I caught one.

But I decided to let it go.

But these are better for you anyway.

No, thas OK. I...

I guess I'm not

very hungry anymore, either.

- Did you see anything?

- No.

I'm gonna go on

a scouting trip right now.
