Swiss Family Robinson Page #6

I want to show you something.

If you'd like to learn how to shoot,

Roberta, I'd be happy to teach you.

I think I have the general idea.

The old tiger, he'll come along here

like this at night,

after the pit's been all covered up,

and he'll sniff the meat...

...and he'll start to circle the pit.

He'll come around here like this

...and he'll think, "I think I just

might grab that big hunk of meat."

So he gets down like this, gets like

this, and then...

Tell me, Francis, don't show me. Or

you'll be in there before your tiger!

Anyhow, he'll jump for the bait

and that's how I'll catch my tiger.

Think a tiger's going to fall for

this? You're wasting your time.

You talk about wasting time.

How many hours did you spend making

that silly hat?

None of your business.

You're not my boss.

No? We've got more important things

to do than try to amuse Roberta.

You're jealous.

Jealous? Of what?

Why don't you grow up?

That's enough, Ernst.

Fight!

Now hit him, Fritz.

Come on, Fritz. Get him.

Fight!

Come on, Ernst. Fight.

Get him, Ernst. Come on.

Get him, Ernst.

What a beauty!

Now your turn.

Come on, Fritz, get him.

Fight. Are you afraid of him, Ernst?

Poke him one.

Come on, Fritz. Ernst!

- What's this all about?

- Nothing.

Who started it?

You know,

I think this is probably my fault.

I think I've been pushing everybody

just a bit too hard.

It might do us a lot of good

to relax for a change.

So here's what we're going to do.

Tomorrow,

we are going to observe

the first national holiday

in the history of New Switzerland.

A holiday? You mean like Christmas?

Now let's get on with the work.

Get ready for it.

A holiday. We're going to have

a holiday, Roberta.

- Where did we get all these flags?

- I got them off the ship.

- Allow me.

- Thank you.

How do you like this?

For the winner of the race.

I'd better try it on for size.

Not going to argue?

Just conceding that I'll win?

This afternoon you and Ernst

were fighting. It was my fault.

- It wasn't your fault.

- Everything that's happened lately

is because you brought me back, even

the danger we're in from pirates.

You didn't ask to be brought here.

In fact, you had quite different

ideas. Remember?

Poor Ernst. The hours he must have

spent making that silly hat.

He didn't mean to neglect his work.

He was just trying to be nice to me.

- I know that.

- I never dreamed he'd do that.

I did hope I could repay your family

and all I've done is cause trouble

between you. I didn't want to.

Don't.

Roberta, I'm not much at saying

things, you know, but...

It's no good. When we leave here,

you're going on and I'm going back

to London.

Let's not make it difficult.

When we leave here? How do you

know we're ever going to?

We might be here...

- My tiger! I bet I got him!

- Francis, come back here.

Look out, Ernst.

- He might be anywhere.

- Let me go!

Francis, wait till we get there.

It's my tiger. Let me go.

Mind the pit.

Where is he?

I would never have believed it!

Well done, Francis.

Let's cover it with palm leaves

so he'll go to sleep

and the pirates won't know

he's there.

Go and tell Mother. We'll do it.

Yes.

You don't have to worry any more!

I got my tiger!

He's got his tiger.

Everybody back behind

the starting line.

Stay back.

Hang on.

Mother, you hold Duke, will you?

That's it.

You go round the first pylon

and then over to that one,

then back and forth three times

and here to the finish.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

to the winner

this gorgeous culinary creation

which all of us will eat.

Quiet. Serving as official starter,

the loveliest lady of the canton.

Quick! Come back!

Quick, Mother, fire.

Faster.

Come on, Rocky, get going.

Come on, Duchess. Run, girl.

That way. Come on, Rocky.

I can't get on! Give me a chance.

No, Turk, get out of here,

you're ruining everything.

Look out, Mother.

Wait a minute, Ernst.

- No, not that way.

- Hold it, Clementine.

Jump on.

Good boy, Lightning.

You're going the wrong way, Roberta.

Come on, Rocky.

Stand still.

Now we're going to win.

It's not good

if you can't stay on him, Fritz.

Turk, get away.

Not fair, Ernst,

you have to ride him.

- Come on, Rocky, we're going to win.

- Come on, Lightning.

Straight on.

No, not that way, the other way.

No, the other way.

Come on.

Now.

I give up. Come on, Clementine.

Come on!

Out of my way.

I'm going to ride you

if it's the last thing I do.

Quick, the tape.

That's not the way

you're supposed to go!

Wrong way, Roberta.

Roberta. Come back here.

Come on, Rocky, we're winning!

Not fair, Roberta, I was winning!

You're not hurt?

- Pirates on the beach.

- What?

Pirates on our beach.

- Up the hill, everybody, quick!

- I'll get the muskets.

Come on, Roberta. Come on.

Remember your orders?

Get started!

Yes, sir!

Come on. Come on, Francis.

Duke, Turk, come back.

No time now. They'll be alright.

Come along, Mother.

Come on, Francis.

Just stay quiet.

Quick.

They've seen us.

They've seen us. The bridge, quick.

Alright, Mother?

Here, Duke! Here, Turk!

Good boy.

- Ready, Ernst?

- Ready.

Now!

Fritz, Ernst, come up.

Come up.

They must be getting near it now.

Over this way a bit.

My tiger! He got them.

Number three.

Now, don't light it till I tell you.

Now.

The flame

is meant to reach the powder

at the same time as the pirates.

See what I mean? Give me the torch.

Bull's-eye!

They're running!

- Now the coconut bombs.

- No, not yet.

- They're coming round this way.

- Don't fire yet.

Get back.

We've got them on the run.

- Right. The coconut bombs.

- Good!

That's it.

Keep throwing.

We haven't stopped them. Use the

rifles. Try and pick off the leaders.

Where are you going, Father?

It worked.

Watch those logs fall down.

There's a man getting squashed.

We're safe!

Kuala make talk.

You hear?

We hear you.

You take boy belong Kuala.

Give us boy, no more fight.

You hear?

You want the boy? Come and get him.

We're ready for you.

You can put away your white flag.

- Maybe it would be better to agree.

- Don't worry.

He wouldn't bargain if he

thought he could beat us.

Send the boy down the hill.

Kuala take boy.

Nobody hurt.

You hear?

You make Kuala fight long time

then you die!

And Kuala take boy all the same.

It's true. You can't possibly hold

them off forever.

You don't look like a boy any more.

If you give yourself up now...

But what will happen

to all of you if I don't?

Nothing's going to happen to anybody.

He must think we're mad.

Roberta, don't listen.

My pirate alarm.

They're coming up that way.

Quick. Down!

Look out! Father, look out!

Ernst, look.

Stay back.

Get down!

- How many rounds have we got left?

- Five.

Five.

They're very close.

They're running away.

It's a ship. A merchantman.

They're firing on the pirates.

One of my grandfather's ships.

I knew he'd come for us.

- Here we are!

- We're here!

- Can I see your hat, please?

- Of course.
