Tarzan and the Amazons Page #2

Unalloyed gold, unquestionably.

Oh, isn't it lovely?

I wonder where Tarzan got it.

How Jane get this?

Why, Cheeta gave it to me.

- I thought it was from you.

- Cheeta.

Where does the bracelet come from,

Tarzan?

Can it possibly be the work of

a native tribe?

- Jane, Tarzan go home now.

- But, Tarzan...

Sun getting low in sky.

Jane come with Tarzan.

I don't understand.

There must be something wrong.

Don't worry, Jane.

Jane.

Well, goodbye, gentlemen and good luck.

Goodbye.

Basov, be a good chap and get me

the case...

...with the reference books, will you?

- Gladly, sir.

This is it.

"Vase.

Exact origin unknown...

...believed to have originated

with an obscure tribe...

...in the interior of Africa.

Composition:
cloisonn and unalloyed gold.

Date unknown.

Owner, British Museum."

The sun, a tree, a snake...

...I knew I'd seen that design before.

The design is identical.

Can you throw any light on this,

Mr. Ballister?

Ever since I took over this post,

I've heard rumors among the natives...

...about a fabulously wealthy tribe

led by women.

Yes, but we don't hold with fairytales

like that.

You keep your ugly face out of this.

That's right.

I investigated thoroughly...

...strictly in the interest of science

of course...

...but these natives are a surly

and superstitious lot.

Yes, and that ain't the half of it.

You say these rumors indicate

the tribe is led by women?

Amazons.

- Amazons?

- This is too good to miss.

Think of it. Think what it would mean

if we were the first to discover this tribe.

Searching for glory, eh?

You wouldn't welcome

an opportunity like this?

Naturally, I would.

From a scientist's point of view,

the discovery might be of great importance.

Well, then, gentlemen,

since we're all agreed.

Not so fast, Mr. Ballister.

This expedition was organized

with the specific intention...

...of further investigating certain tribes

north of the Kaisoot.

So you're willing to play second fiddle to

Young and Goodheart and all the others...

...when the chance to make

a real discovery falls into our laps.

Well, maybe Sir Guy doesn't like the idea

of facing hardships.

Have you any natives around here...

...who could serve as guides

if we should make the attempt?

Oh, I wouldn't put any trust in the natives.

They're so blinking superstitious.

There's only one man for this job:

Tarzan.

That's right. But will Tarzan tell you?

He'll tell us all right.

How soon can you get this safari

in shape?

First thing in the morning.

Then, gentlemen, we better be turning in.

Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night, sir.

You won't regret it, Sir Guy,

however much you scorn fame.

Pure gold.

Our home.

Trees, bridge.

Every time I wanted to be with you,

I just closed my eyes and there it was.

It's just the way you left it, Jane.

I cleaned and scrubbed it, didn't I, Tarzan?

Wait until I get my hands on you.

You'll be sorry, every one of you.

Come on, Cheeta.

Look what they've done

to my clean house.

Never mind, Boy.

I'll have it fixed up in no time.

Very clever, these monkeys.

Cheeta not nice to little cousin.

- Come, Boy, lots of work.

- Oh, now, never mind, never mind.

You men go out and get the rest

of the luggage. This is my job. Go on.

I'm sure glad Jane's back. Now we're

gonna have some real cooking again.

Boy always say Tarzan's cooking good.

Well, it wasn't so good sometimes.

Tarzan bad mother, good father.

Tarzan.

I'm all out of breath.

Jane take deep breath and close eyes.

Tarzan thought Jane never come back.

Being away is a lot harder

than staying behind.

Very lonely without you.

Or without you.

Jane not angry with Tarzan?

No, Tarzan. Why should I be angry?

Jane seemed unhappy

because Tarzan took bracelet away.

No, Tarzan.

You must have a good reason.

It was beautiful and I thought it was

my coming-home present.

I was just a little disappointed.

- Was she pretty?

- Who?

The girl you rescued from the panther.

Oh, beautiful.

No, he wasn't quite as tall...

...and his shoulders were

a little narrower...

...but he had the nicest smile.

- Who?

- Oh, didn't I tell you?

An officer I met on the boat.

Cheeta been fishing two years,

no fish yet.

You can keep your blasted jungle.

Give me Hampstead Heath.

If only 10 percent of what we heard is true,

you'll have nothing to kick about.

Well, I hope as how you got

your information from headquarters.

I only had room for a few books,

so I chose them very carefully.

Jane right, book only as good

as what it say.

I like this one best of all.

Strong of arm was Hiawatha

He could shoot ten arrows upward

Shoot them with such strength

And swiftness

That the tenth had left the bowstring

Ere the first to earth had fallen!

Good, good. How Boy learn so quick?

I just read it over a few times.

Anybody could learn it.

You try it, Tarzan.

Swift of foot was Hiawatha

Swift of foot was...

- Swift of foot was...

- Hiawatha

Swift was...

Tarzan mind not so swift.

Even if you can't say it like Hiawatha,

you can sure shoot like him.

Forth into the forest straightway

All alone walked Hiawatha

Proudly, with his bow and arrows

And the birds sang round him, o'er him

"Do not shoot us, Hiawatha!"

Up the oak tree, close beside him

Sprang the squirrel, Adjidaumo

In and out among the branches

Coughed and chattered from the oak tree

"Do not shoot me, Hiawatha!"

But the part I like best of all

is where he wants to kill a deer.

The buck comes along...

...and Hiawatha aimed an arrow.

Scarce a twig moved with his motion

Scarce a leaf was stirred or rustled

How's about taking a snapshot of me

with this here lioness, Mr. Anders?

Why not?

- Could I borrow that gun just a moment?

- Watch it, it's loaded.

This ought to make my old lady

sit up and take notice.

This is not my idea of sport, Mr. Ballister.

Why don't we all sit down

and have a good cry?

I didn't do it, Tarzan. Honestly, I didn't.

It was Ballister what shot it.

She was about to attack.

I think anyone would have done

the same thing.

Mother lion never attack

unless somebody after cubs.

The only excuse we can offer is that it was

done in the excitement of the moment.

Oh, Jane.

Every time men bring guns,

men bring trouble.

We're sorry, believe me.

I thought you'd planned to go north,

Sir Guy.

Yes, so we had, but something

rather exciting cropped up...

...and we changed our plans.

Suppose we all talk this over in the morning

when things have calmed down.

- Why men not tell why men here?

- What do you mean?

Men come to get Tarzan's help.

It's refreshing to find someone

who comes right to the point.

Tarzan answer, like men say,

right to the point: No.

Tarzan better take cubs

before cubs attack people.

Well, looks like we better set up camp.

All right, boys, start pitching camp.

This change in your plans, Sir Guy...

...in what way could it require

Tarzan's help?

You remember the bracelet

you received at Randini?
