Tarzan and the Amazons Page #3

- Yes.

- A simple gold bracelet.

And it's opened up

a world of infinite possibilities.

- What are you doing?

- I'm shooting the sun.

Shooting the sun?

Just an expression,

we are trying to find out where we are.

Why? Don't you know where you are?

Hey, what are you doing? Give me that.

Get out of here! Go on out of here!

Beat it!

Now we'll see how pure it is.

But you can see there's nothing in it.

Boy, look.

Look in here.

It's all full of:

Now you can see

why one must be careful.

What you just saw is nothing

but harmless, one-cell life.

Jane!

Jane.

You must never drink

another drop of water again.

- What?

- You should see what I just saw.

Why, it's full of terrible-looking animals.

He must have looked through

Basov's microscope.

Darling, there are so many things

you don't know.

And according to Tarzan's philosophy,

what you don't know won't hurt you.

Believe me, Jane,

if it were only for self-glory...

...it would be a different matter.

But the discovery of this tribe

will be a real contribution to science.

Tarzan is the only man

who can lead us there.

You must do everything you can

to make him see it our way.

As a rule, it isn't a simple matter

to change Tarzan's mind.

He usually has a reason for his actions.

I'm sure I can persuade him

to see it your way, Sir Guy.

- Good.

- I'll try too.

Oh, thank you, young man.

- What's wrong?

- Monkey's got a stick of dynamite.

- She'll blow us all sky-high!

- Cheeta!

Here, Cheeta, give it to me, Cheeta.

You nearly had the magnificent specimen

ready for your collection this time.

Yes, in small pieces.

- That was a close one.

- You dropped this, Mr. Anders.

- Oh, thank you, Boy.

- How do you work it?

You come around anytime,

I'll be glad to show you.

- I think we better be leaving now, Boy.

- Goodbye.

Jane...

...we're depending on you.

I developed it all by myself.

Then Mr. Anders enlarged it for me.

They've opened up a whole new world

for you, haven't they, Boy?

Mr. Anders said I could keep this

until they go away.

They're really powerful.

Did you see what Mr. Splivens gave Cheeta?

- No.

- A magnifying glass.

Now, what would Cheeta want

with a magnifying glass?

Just like he said,

"I hopes as how it'll come in handy."

Look how close it brings

the mountains to us.

But that's nothing,

you ought to see Mr. Basov's telescope.

It brings the sky right down

to the treetops.

Boy know every star in sky like friend.

Yes, Tarzan, but this telescope

brings them so close.

- You can almost shake hands with them.

- Almost.

You mustn't try to discourage Boy.

It may be years before anyone comes...

...who can teach him the things

these friends of mine can.

Friends help Boy change Tarzan's mind

and lead safari.

- Oh, now, that's silly.

- Why men stay here then?

They hope when you understand the object,

you'll see reason and you'll help them.

Yesterday Tarzan say no.

Today Tarzan say no.

- Tomorrow Tarzan say no.

- Why won't you help them, Tarzan?

- Not good for men to look straight into sun.

- What's the sun got to do with it?

Sun like gold.

Too much sun make people blind.

Well, now you're talking in riddles.

If you could just give us one good reason

for your refusal.

Jane tell men Tarzan say no.

All right, I'll have to tell Sir Guy that you

just refuse to change your stubborn mind.

- I'll come with you, Jane.

- I don't think Tarzan would approve.

You might be in danger

of learning something.

Boy, soon as men leave,

Tarzan and Boy go hunting.

All right, boys, lay off.

We've gotta break camp.

It's a blooming shame,

I told youse what Tarzan wouldn't tell us.

I've had about enough out of you.

I must admit,

it is a considerable letdown.

Let me remind you, gentlemen...

...that I have no less interest

in this discovery than yourselves.

If anyone can offer a practical solution,

I shall be glad to fall in with it.

There's only one way

to deal with a guy like Tarzan.

Well, Sir Guy, I take it you want us

to step back into obscurity.

There was nothing obscure

about the mission on which we came.

We'll follow our original plan and go north.

Boy, look, jungle water pure.

No bugs.

Boy look like thundercloud. Sick maybe.

Leave him alone, Tarzan. He feels badly

because his friends are leaving today.

After safari leave, Boy will forget.

Hope they forget how you treated them.

Maybe Jane gone so long,

forget not all men good.

What right have you to judge men who are

trying to do something for the world?

You'd hold back the progress

of civilization...

...simply because you've decided

my friends aren't to be trusted.

Well, I trust them.

If I could think of any way to help them,

I certainly would.

Jane pretty when mad.

Cheeta like Jane,

wanna set the world on fire.

Hello.

Hello, Boy.

We've come to say goodbye.

We'll miss you, Boy.

I've never had a more promising apprentice.

Men wise to leave.

I like you, Tarzan, but you're as immovable

as the Rock of Gibraltar.

It's insufferable to be on the brink

of a discovery and to be turned back.

Not all discoveries bring happiness.

Personally, I refuse to be pacified

by jungle platitudes.

You must admit, the world will hardly cease

to revolve on its axis...

...because of our disappointment.

Get away!

- Well, goodbye, Jane.

- Good luck, Sir Guy.

- Goodbye, Tarzan.

- Goodbye.

Stick to your books, my boy.

He has a fine mind.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Tarangi, Tarangi, on your feet.

Boy, Tarzan keep promise,

go hunting now.

I'm not going.

Tarzan wanna see Boy

shoot leader of geese.

I don't wanna go.

Boy wanna go before strangers came.

They're not strangers.

They're Jane's friends and mine.

And they're leaving because of you.

I don't ever wanna go hunting with you.

- Tarzan, Boy, what's wrong?

- Tarzan go hunting alone.

Boy, what happened?

Oh, nothing.

Go on home, Cheeta. Leave me alone.

You know, Cheeta,

sometimes I can't understand Tarzan.

"Boy forget about Palmyria.

Not good for men

to look straight into sun."

Jane's right. Tarzan won't help them.

I will.

Come on, Cheeta.

- Are you sure you know the way, Boy?

- Of course I do.

What puzzles me, Boy, if you knew about

this all the time, why didn't you speak up?

I didn't realize I was holding back

the progress of civilization.

Boy?

Boy.

There. Behind those mountains

is Palmyria.

But how does one ever get across?

I know how.

I wonder what's keeping the others

so long.

- You wait here. I'll see.

- Thank you, Boy.

Lateur, look.

I stake my reputation...

...that's the orchid Ponsonby claimed

to have discovered last year in Brazil.

No, Mr. Lateur, don't step out there!

Don't, those flowers only grow

over mud pits.

It's a lucky thing we have Boy

to look after us.

Tarangi, Tarangi,

what's holding things up?

That's the most cockeyed superstition

I ever heard of.

Who said you won't come back

if you go across those mountains?

You'll do as I say.

- That's enough, telling them, governor.
