- We're proud of you.

- We thought you were gone.

- Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep.

-Good thing he's a coward huh?

He's wonderful.

- Oh, it was nothing. I had him in a

headlock, but he hit me with an ink bottle.

Hey look.

We can not go back to Batu. He

will have our throats cut.

- Oh, that would hurt my high notes.

- Might help, we could sing duets.

We must go on to Bali. There we

can sell the jewels. We must sail at once.

- I'll pack. Hey wait a minute.

- I want to ask you something.

- How did you get out of that suit?

- Out of the diving suit? Well it was easy......

I was down at the bottom and I......

- Think, this stuff is real.

- Yeah, and it's worth millions

George, millions!

- Looks like Ali Caan's garbage can.

- Yeah, the top layer.

- I think I'll have cuff links made out of these.

- Do you think this is too much?

- No, I think that'll work.

- Well you know, if you wear it right.

Oh Lala's all mine. What a parle huh? You

know the first thing I'm going to do when

I become Prince is pass a community property law.

- That cuts me in right away.

- What line what form.

- Fantastic.

- Let me put this under canvass.

Let me see this.

Hey...

-Shame on you. You're a grown man.

- Well, she's a grown girl.

- I wonder where you grow this stuff.

- If you find out, give me a call.

- I'll be topside. I've got to take my

turn at the wheel.

- Slow down, back, back, back.

-Gee, you're pretty alert aren't you? - More than

you know. I've got these counted you know.

Really? One, two, three, four....

- Well, I'll see you.

- Whoa, whoa, check it out.

- How did that get in there, I

wonder? These are not vitamin pills you know.

How did my school teacher get in

there.

-Take this on a weekend.

He's going to sing folks. Now's the

time to go out and get the popcorn.

Only two more of these sliverly

nights, and we'll be in Bali.

-I kind of hate to think of leaving you Lala.

- You mustn't think of it, because

you mustn't do it.

I've been away a long, long time.

I've got to get back. Catch some

ball games, see how the Pirates are doing.

- You still have pirates in America?

- Yeah, but they are nothing to be

afraid of. Probably hiding in the cellar someplace.

It's a fantastic place, the U.S.A. Lala. Take a town,

take any town, like the garden spot of North

America.

Lush, picturesque riveria of the

middle west.

-For example, Toledo, Ohio.

- Toledo, Ohio...

- Oh it sounds beautiful. Such a musical name.

- Oh it's a music town, a jukebox in

every bowling alley.

- Lala? Will you go to America with

me? George! I mean marry me

and go to America with me.

- Oh it would be wonderful, but what

about Harold?

- We could adopt him.

- Adopt him?

- Of course we'd have to send him

away to school.

- Little late for that, isn't it?

-Oh no baby. He's gotta go sometime

you know. - That's enough! Why you

collapsible como you!

- You and your "Pirates".

- At least they're in the major league.

- That's so underhanded.

- That's gratitude for you.

I try to plan your education and you

turn on me like a mad dog.

I wish I were a mad dog. I'd give

you the sniffer. Don't plan my

education. I'm illiterate enough now.

- Listen Lala, if you're going

anywhere, you're going with me.

- Oh no she's not.

- I don't know what to do.

- George, shouldn't you go beddy-bye?

Beddy-bye? And leave you here with

this Malinese pound cake? Lala, you've

got to make up your mind, and right now.

Oh, that's not way to talk to your

mother. Listen Mom.

- It's Lala, Lala, not Mama.

You promised to marry me if I got

the treasure, didn't you?

- What!? She didn't promise you, I did.

- You know what a liar I am. Oh,

so that's it?

You're up here pitching with this

doll, while I'm down there adlibing

with that deep-sea claw machine.

- Harold, Harold.....I do love you.

- Oh, I thought so.

-But I love George too.

- Well, if you like the other

generation, they're restful.

- I'm so confused...

I love you for what you are.

- A liar.

I love Harold for what he was.

Sometime. Somewhere.

- The kid's gone. She's in sections.

-We'd better get to the bottom of this.

- Yeah, let's get to the bottom of this.

- What was I? Where? When? Probably

some agonizing episode from her childhood.

We'll have to probe the

subconscience with a little psychology.

Lie down dear. Lie down. Easy.

- Are you comfy?

- Yes doctor.

- There's a lot of quack in this boy. Now Lala.

- We want to delve into your past.

Way back into your childhood.

Well, when I got to be 6 or 7,

I remember I was terribly lonely....

I had no one to play with, until one

day my father brought me a little companion.

Come Sandy. Come play with me.

Please Sandy.

- Sandy...

- Not me, you've got the wrong monkey.

Well, I'll leave it up to you Lala. Do

you want me for who I am...

... or do you want this chump for the

chimp he used to be?

- Kick it around a while. I'm going

downstairs to peel buster a banana.

- Play with your mice while you are there.

- Say now that the imposter's gone, why don't

we...... - Harold, the wheel. You'd better

take it. These are dangerous waters.

- Coral wreaths, racing currents.

-But baby I've got racing currents of my own.

Check!

-You and George certainly are romantic.

- George? I use him for a warm-up boy.

Send him ahead on all these situations.

But speaking of lardhead, how did you

like his singing?

- Oh, it was beautiful.

- Princess I've got news for you. He

can't sing a note.

I do all the singing. He just mouths

a little.

He's part of my warm-up. And I've

got to sing slow because if he

mouths too fast, his plate starts to slip.

You see, I'm a ventriloquist. That's

part of our act. I'll show you.

-How are you down there?

- Fine. How are you?

- You see......

- Harold, the wheel.

- Harold!!!

-Hornblow....Horatio....come on

Captian Hornblow. Captain?

What have we got here?

He always did gulp his food, you

know. We may get his appendix

her in a minute.

Aha! One of the bobbles. I think

we should have this lad floroscoped.

- Are you all right?

- What happened? Is the picture over?

- You're fine now, you're all right.

Just relax - There must be a

village on this island somewhere.

You think so? We can buy another

boat and go on to Bali.

- Say, that's a real crazy anthill.

- They've got a hotel with hot and

cold running lava.

Look......a bottle.

- Hey, hey look. There's a message in it.

- What does it say?

It says:
"Return this bottle to Sam's

Supermarket for 3 cents deposit."

Isn't it a pity. Every movie has got

to have a message.

Let's get out of this bunker huh?

We'll go this way.

- Hold it, hold it.

-What? Just a minute.

I haven't been smacked in the face

this much since my first rumbleseat.

- Let's change places.

- Push on Princess.

Whoa, whoa. Something wrong

here. Look, let me go ahead.

I'll break the trail, before it breaks me.

Lead on Livingston.

- Say, isn't he breaking trail a little high.
