Road to Bali Page #3

Delightful place you have here

Princess. lt'd be lovely just to lay

around here and grow old.

George! You and Harold will never

grow old, unless you escape at once.

- Escape? My cousin Kenarock is a scheming

murderer. - He's a very nice guy. A little

formal, a little cold perhaps.......

You do not know him. He has sent

many men to their death, at sea.

- Physical too huh?

- Kenarock will let nothing stand in

his way of ambition.

Years ago my father set out for Bali

to sell a valuable chest of jewels....

....the boat sank on a reef outside of

our lagoon...

...neither my father nor the jewels

have ever been recovered.

That's the treasure they want us to

haul out of the sea, huh?

Many have tried, but none have

succeeded.

- They offered us 50,000 gilda to get it.

- You must escape tonight!

No Princess. You're looking at a big

gilder man.

- You must go, I tell you.

-Down in the wreck of the boat

lives....Bogatan

- Boga who?

- Bogatan, a giant squid.

-Let him live a little.

This squid is a terror. He's an

enormous monster, with bone-

crushing tentacles, a man-eater.

- It means certain death to the diver.

- Certain death to the diver huh?

- Harold laughs at death.

- We must warn him, tell him about Bogatan.

I don't know. I may have some

trouble talking him out of this. He

loves a challenge this boy.

Death is his bread, danger his

butter.

- You've got to convince him.

- You've got to butter him up good.

- Where can he be? What can he be doing?

Hootwha, oh what a hoot.

- What a business! I finally learned

that trick.

- Who ran second? Well, I was.....

I've been playing this flute all night.

Georgette, stash that in the icebox,

will you please?

- Thank you Zza Zza. Listen, don't

you ever disappear like that on me again.

- I was worried into a postive tizzy about you.

- You worry? Yes I was. About me?

Certainly!

- Yes I was. About me? Certainly!

268. Well bless your big fat

motherly heart. What's to worry?

Well in spite of everything I had to

say, I put in plenty of knocks...that

palpitating Princess is all in a twiter over you.

- Me? Really?

- Yes!

- This girl is not only charming, she's intelligent.

- You'd better be careful boy, she'll

marry you and make you a prince.

You'll spend the rest of your miserable life just

lolling around, munching mangoes, falling apart

and having girls wait on you and stuff like that.

-I can't let this happen to you.

- You're all I've got. I'll buy you a dog.

Destiny calls the young Prince.

- Surely you can't want this?

- Well, it's a living.

Okay pal. I won't stand in your way.

I guess after all, I blew it. I goofed.

I told her what a hero you are.

Boy, what a relief.

Just think, tomorrow at dawn, you'll

be coming up out of the water with the treasure.

- Have a big suptious wedding.

Yeah dancing girls, coconut

frappes, music.....

- Hey, how I'm I coming up with the treasure?

- Because you're going down for it.

- Oh I see......

Wait a minute! Not me! No I even

get the bends when I'm ducking for apples.

-You're the diver?

- I'm the diver? Yeah, you're the diver.

Oh Harold! You don't know what this means

to mean. This is the nicest thing you've ever

done. Letting me be Lala's number one boy.

- Well this changes everything.

- I thought I was Lala's boy?

But you resigned. It's all mine now.

I go down a pauper and come up a Prince.

- No, no. If that's the way it's going

to be, I'm going to be dunked.

- Oh no, no. It's too dangerous.

I laugh at danger.

Okay, if you insist. You get the

jewels, you get the Princess.

Good-night.

I get the jewels, I get the Princess

and I couldn't happen to a nicer girl.

Harold......Harold....

Look don't fool with the fun fl ute

unless you check with the master.

Gentlemen.....it is time.

My Princess is impatient. Valdimir,

lay out my top hat, white tie and swim fins.

Very good sir.

-Harold, are you sure you know

what you're doing?

- Do I know what I'm doing, you lucky girl!

- So George told you.

- Exhale a little bit, I want to slip

this over your head.

Say you haven't got anything in

straw, with a wider brim and a long

oval have you? No you wouldn't have that.

Just try it on for size. Any size will

do. This kid's head is a little pointy.

He takes anything from a 3 to a size

8. Suck in your nose dear.

- There we are. Oh, there you are.

I'd ask you in, but it's a little crowded in here.

- How can you two joke.

- Oh it's easy when you are brave.

-Oh he's plenty brave, this fellow.

- I take brave pills.

Tell her about the time at Catilina

when I got the big barge off the

bottom.....oh was she heavy.

- Oh, but a lovely girl.

- Yeah, she was a big.....

Here Anette, you may want to do

your nails down there. Thanks, he

usually sticks it in my back you know.

- ake two, we're having a one-set sale.

- Don't forget my Roy Rogers water pistol.

- Want to take a plumber's helper

down with you?

- No, I work alone you know.

- Before you go down, I want you to think again.......

- No, no, no. No time to start

thinking, he going to start sinking.

How about a kiss for your hero, just

for luck huh?

- Sorry madame, next window please.

- Remind him of Bogaten.

- Oh well, Bogaten.

- Bogaten......

Hey, where's he running. Just a

second. Lean in here will you?

- Oh you should have thought of that before

- Oh you should have thought of that before

Oh no, we can't go through that

again. If your wool underwear

starts to itch, it will just have to itch.

- Well get me another pair of hands for inside.

- Oh, I thought you worked alone.

Oh, but this is different.

- Should've put some water in the radiator.

- We could have made a cup of tea.

That is enough. Over the side.

Come!

- Thanks pal. I'll bring you back

some saltwater taffy.

- Tie it tight sugar.

- Say write if you fi nd work, will you?

- Geronimo!

-We're gone.

- Hey, I've got it.

- Yeah, what?

-The treasure. Brown wooden box,

brass handles, big lock.

- Yes, that's it George.

-Come on, come on. Grag the loot and scoot.

- Drop me a hook boy.

Lower the line and stand by.

- What is it? What's the matter buster?

- Bogaten, it can only be Bogaten.

Hey, never mind that treasure, pull

my pal up.

We haven't got time now. Back to

the pump. Come on we'll pull him

to the surface.

- Get it up close now, so I can grab

him.

Easy now. Easy does it. Here he comes.

Hey buster, you Okay? Exhale a

little. Exhale just once.

-Buster, hey buster.

- George! Look out!

He's not in there.

Witchman!

Obviously Bogaten has claimed the

American. Now Lala, it is time to

feed the sharks.

- Put down that gun!

- Your days of telling me what to do are over.

Without you, I have the island, the

jewels, everything!

For this moment, I have waited all

my life.

You try to put the finger on us boy

and you'll have a lot of trouble with

your breathing.

-Who's there.

- I'm just closing the gate.-

- Slap happy this boy.

Now he worries about me.
