Road to Zanzibar Page #5

Thanks!

And the road

to Zanzibar

Ma-toum-bom-ba

Ma-toum-bom-ba

Ma-toum-bom-ba

Ma-toum-bom-ba

Lions may roar

leopards may growl

Savages may

shout and holler

But outside of that

it's peaceful

And a gentleman

needn't have a dollar

The trees

deal in magic

And a guiding star

can't help you where you are

Romance may happen

On the road

to Zanzibar

Ma-toum-bom-ba

Ma-toum-bom-ba

Hey, this is okay.

Not bad.

We'll probably start

an auto camp here.

- Mr. Frazier, bwana.

- I don't wanna bwana.

Men want money

before sleep.

I paid them last night, the night

before and the night before that.

What, do they got slot

machines around here?

Might as well pay them, unless

you want to follow the swallows.

Think they got a union?

Union! They got muscles too.

Hey.

Here.

Sticky, ain't it?

- Fearless.

- Yeah?

Fearless, I wonder if...

I can't call you Fearless.

What's your right name?

Hubert.

Oh.

Fearless, I wonder if

you'd do something for me.

Oh, sure, anything...

within reason.

Sit down.

Nervous?

No, a splinter.

There.

Now, I want you to try

and forget that I'm here.

Try and forget

you're here?

Yeah.

Oh.

Your smile

is much too wise

You're dangerous

You kiss me

with your eyes

You're dangerous

Sure you have

the right fellow?

My heart

gets so excited

It's thrilled

for a change

And simply because

you're charming

Now isn't

that strange

You know

that moon too well

You're dangerous

Why any fool

can tell

You're dangerous

And with your

arms around me

I should call

for aid

You're dangerous

But who's afraid

Me!

Now, wait a minute.

Ooh, you're dangerous.

Chuck!

You kiss me

with your eyes

Oh, you're dangerous

My heart

gets so excited

It's thrilled

for a change

And simply because

you're charming

Now isn't

that strange

You know the moon

too well

Oh, you're dangerous

Why any fool

can tell

You're dangerous

And with your arms

around me

I should call

for aid

You're dangerous

But who's afraid

Does that do anything

to you, Mr. Frazier?

No, nothing at all.

Well, good-bye.

What's the idea? What are you

turning the heat on him for?

Just practicing.

Practicing? Oh!

I haven't seen Bradley in weeks.

He might have cooled off.

I wanted to see what kind

of effect the song had.

Hey, Chuck?

Hmm?

I want you to do

something for me.

What is it? I'm kind

of worried. It's Donna.

She's gettin' romantic notions and I

don't want any entangling alliances.

I want you to put in

a bad word for me.

I wouldn't worry, Junior,

you can handle it.

I know how

these dames work.

First thing you know,

she'll be getting cold,

and she'll come up

and snuggle next to me.

See what I mean? Don't know how you do it?

It's chilly,

isn't it?

Are you comfortable? Yes, thanks.

Look at that moon. It's as big

as a million-dollar gold piece.

It's funny. I'm just

beginning to notice it.

It's pretty,

isn't it, Junior?

The moon routine...

opening maneuver.

What did you say

your father was doing...

in the middle

of thejungle?

I thought I told you.

He's a rubber trader.

Your girlfriend said

he was an ivory trader.

Well, he is.

He trades rubber for ivory...

and ivory back again

for more rubber, you see?

Comes out

even, huh?

Leave Donna alone.

She's had trouble enough.

She's takin' it like

a little soldier too.

Little soldier in

the old army game.

You're in pretty solid

with this kid,

but I think I can

sabotage you.

Don't scuttle me. I wouldn't

do it for anybody but you.

I know

you wouldn't.

Oh, my.

You about ready to go to

sleep, baby? I'll be along soon.

Wouldn't you like me

to fix you a cup of tea?

No thank you. But look what I found!

Bradley's tea. It's your

favorite brand, remember?

All right, Julia,

if it'll make you happy.

Well, come on.

Good night, Chuck.

Good night, Hubert.

Hubert?

Is that you?

I told her

everything.

Wait a minute.

Where's my other leg?

I think it's in your other pants. Oh, yeah.

She's just usin' you to get

to me. You're a riot, Hubert.

I had a gal in Birch Falls. You know

what she did to get me on the hook?

She was runnin' around with

a sailor to make me jealous.

I used to send her candy, furs,

jewelry, and things like that.

And she used to send them

back with nasty notes.

Thought I didn't get it. She's probably

still carrying a terrific torch for you.

What was that?

It's just an owl or

something. Go to sleep. An owl?

What was that?

Me! Come on, will you go to sleep?

I will.

What're you gonna do with

that? It's just for propaganda.

Couldn't hit anything with it.

But I could worry 'em a little.

Boy, I'm nervous.

Hey, I'm shaking!

I was so nervous, the bed is still

shaking. Go to sleep, will ya?

Oh, no wonder.

Look, it's a snake.

Snake?

Yeah, snake.

A snake!

And so, at daybreak, our little

band of intrepid adventurers...

sets forth on its

perilous journey...

into the mysterious,

unfathomablejungle.

Week after week,

they plod onward...

with nothing to guide them but the

stars by night and the sun by day...

and their own inherent

sense of direction.

Over mountains,

through marshes, over rivers...

Why, they've been

over that river before.!

Something's gone wrong here.

Oh, this is terrible.

Why are they going that way?

If I could only tell them.

No, no, no.!

Not that way. Turn back.!

Well, at last they're

back on their course again.

Day after day,

theyjourney onward,

cutting a trail deeper and deeper

into the uncharted interior.

Onward and onward, unaware of the

dangers that lurk on every side.

Suddenly, there's a tense moment

as they come face-to-face...

with the terror of

the dark continent...

a charging rhinoceros.!

The ground trembles beneath

5,000 pounds of death on the hoof.

But dauntless

and unafraid,

our courageous four

hold their ground.

Shaken by their narrow escape,

they come to the Masaka River.

I know you, old boy. You and your

moonlight walks. Don't you worry about that.

If Donna wants to, let her

slap my face. Come here.

What? I shaved. What's

this? Your eyes are all red.

Just a minute. You're crazy.

Just the white part is red.

Guess it's my imagination. I'm ready.

That and with what

Thonga's been saying.

What does Thonga know?

He's no doctor.

Well, don't wait up...

Thonga's what?

Go ahead now. Have a

good time, enjoy yourself.

What was it? A lot of white

men have come down with it...

and a lot of them have gotten

over it. They haven't all died.

What're you doing?

What're you tryin' to sell?

Thonga's been saying you might

be coming down with malaria.

I don't think so. Me?

Are you kidding? I'm one of

the healthiest men around here.

What is that, Chuck? This is

a little malarial preventive.

I thought I better take some.

I've been exposed now.

I gotta rush on... You look

all right. Have a good time.

Even if you have anything, it's

just a very mild case. Yeah.

So long.

Say, Chuck,

I thought I'd take a dose

before I started.
