Swiss Family Robinson Page #7

Synopsis: A family in route to New Guinea is shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island. They are forced to remain on the island because of the damage to the ship and the pirates that are roaming the islands. They create a home on the island (centering around a huge tree house) and explore the island and its wildlife. Plenty of adventure ensues as the family deals with issues of survival and pirates, and the brothers must learn how to live on the island with an uncertain future.

Thank you.

No more, thank you.

That was delicious.

Nothing to it, my boy. I've given

money to that college for years.

It's time I asked for something.

Well, Roberta and I have talked

about school but a... university!

I never dreamed!

I'm going to a university!

As for the rest of you,

I won't try to influence you

but if you'd like

to return to Europe,

I could give you an interesting

fresh start.

But if you still want to go to New

Guinea I'll happily take you there.

I think that since we have to decide

forever, that...

...my husband and I

would just rather stay here.

That's what you want?

It's been a good life for us here.

As Roberta says, there are

things you have to do without.

But they're unimportant if people

aren't around feeling sorry for you.

You mean I don't have to go?

Fritz and Ernst will go with you.

We'll keep Francis for a few years.

- I'll be back.

- You won't be without neighbours.

You realise that? This is a new

island. There'll be a new colony,

- a new governor.

- You might be made governor, Father.

More than likely I should say.

Hello.

It's funny how you can change

your mind about what's important.

What it is you really want.

Take your parents.

All of this time they've been

wanting to get to New Guinea

and now they have their chance they

find everything they want is here.

You mean they're not going?

- I can understand how they feel.

- I do, too.

Two people, if they have each other,

what more could they want?

I guess just to be alone.

It's time to go now. The Captain

wants to sail with the tide.

Just coming.

Surely you'll want to go

and see him off?

Anyway, I'll have to explain

to my grandfather.

- Bye, Ernst.

- Good luck next year.

Goodbye, Mother, Father,

Fritz, Roberta.

Bye, Ernst.

God be with you.

Wait for me! Duchess!

Clementine! Turk!
