Tarzan and the Lost Safari Page #3

---

they'd have spotted us by now.

Well, it didn't happen,

so let's get moving.

Hawkins right.

You go by fire and dry.

-- Better put your shoes on, Diana.

-- Oh, thanks.

You always walk in these?

What's wrong with them?

Not every woman can take a tall heel.

Not good in jungle.

What's that?

Cheta.

My mink, how did she get it?

Cheta go back to sky bird last night.

Likes bottle.

If that monkey is not careful,

it'll stunt her growth.

Bad Cheta.

What kind of fur this?

Mink, and don't ask me how I got it.

Same way the mink did.

Make good skin for feet.

Someone hurt you?

Yes, you, where it hurts most.

You take off shoes, too.

How many times do I have to tell you

to quit fooling around?

We've gotta get moving!

Girls need skin for feet in jungle.

Oh, we're gonna be the first skwos

who ever wore the mink moccasins!

-- I go on front, make trail.

You go behind.

-- Sure.

Watch bushes for snakes.

Watch high grass for leopard.

Watch tree for leopard.

Watch behind you for Opar men.

Watch for bad ants.

Kill quick with hot needle.

They eat your eyes, eat your tongue,

eat your meat. No eat bones.

Choosy, eh?

Hawkins scout like hunting dog,

look for Opar men.

Oh, we'll never make it.

We try.

Fear in head make feet heavy.

But light heart make feet happy.

Even the rain's hot.

I'd say, wet, too.

I can't think of anything,

but a large cold glass of beer.

Mink and mud don't mix.

A week ago we could have had

any drink we wanted.

A week ago...

Yeah, it makes you appreciate

a lot of things that didn't seem

to matter before.

Does it?

Don't you think so?

Yeah.

Animal trail good. Now we go quick.

What trail?

When we get in jungle, no trail.

Jungle? What do you call this?

What do you think they're saying?

Me not think. Me not man of Opar.

Huh, we have a real passport, anyway.

As long as I'm around,

they won't bother us.

Even lion keep eye open for wild dog.

Now, we covered a lot of ground today,

making good time.

I suppose you might say,

it's lucky you met me.

Thank you. My husband and I

are very grateful to you.

Lucky for me, too.

The guy gets kind of lonely for

a woman's company out here in the jungle.

You don't have to stay in the jungle.

I won't. Not much longer.

I've got big money coming to me.

You've ever heard of the tusks of Opar?

Ivory they collected for a 1000 years.

I noticed where it is

and how to get at it.

What do you say?

Oh, what can I say,

except that it sounds wonderful?

I'll say it is...

we're sticking around for it.

I'm very happy for you.

Good luck, Mr. Hawkins.

Tired?

Yes, but... pleasantly tired.

I never thought I could sleep

on bare ground and wake up full of that.

Too beautiful a night to waste

on sleep, anyhow.

Jungle always beautiful at night.

Sometimes I no sleep, too.

-- She scared me.

-- Cheta!

What's the matter, Doodles?

Lost your strength?

Thank you.

Tell me, Tarzan, you always lived

in the jungle?

Yes.

But your English,

your understanding of our needs...

Where did you learn all this?

Many hunters come, missionaries,

people, sometimes friends.

They talk, I listen, learn that art.

Your people, family?

Killed when I was little baby.

Baby alone in the jungle?

How did you survive?

Kerchak, the great ape. She find me.

I learned to swing in trees.

When I grow big I go away from apes

and see men.

I learned to walk on two feet.

I see men talk, I hear men talk.

I also learned about their ways.

One of the savages?

Man of Opar.

Yes, and if we don't let him go,

we'll have a whole mob of them

attacking us.

What do we do now? Swim?

No, follow river. We find place to cross,

but be careful!

Easy for Opar men to watch safari

in open country.

Keep close together.

Hey, look at those hippos!

That one leader of herd.

He's got quite a harem.

Don't like the way he's staring at us.

Maybe he doesn't like the way

you're staring at him either.

Come on, Diana, close up.

Wait!

Hawkins. You stay close to girls,

keep gun ready. I'll lead.

Do you mind if I stay close to you, too?

If we get through this, you'll

have to go along way down the river

before I'll ever cross it.

You're tired?

Tired?!! My back aches, my head aches,

and my mink feet are worn out.

Come on, Gamage, you will make it.

-- Wait!

-- Now what?

Women hungry. You eat.

Great, my favorite food. Thanks!

We'll rest on other side of swamp.

Swamp?!! Ohhh...

Do we have to go into that?

Yes. Not deep.

Stand up!

Cobweb spider.

Bite will kill.

I nearly walked into it!

Well, let's get away from here,

swamp or no swamp. Come on, Doodles.

If we ever get near a telephone,

this'll make quite a story.

Yeah, millionaire playboy and party

made their way back from wedding.

I'll take care of her.

Watch yourself, Diana.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Mind if I hang on, too?

Keep eye open for crocodile.

Crocodile?

Are you sure you know

where you're heading?

Eagle Mountain. This shortest way.

See? He's not as dumb as you think he is.

I'm not so sure.

I know this territory pretty well.

But I've never gone on this way before.

Say that again, I've never traveled

this way before either.

Thanks heavens, we're out of that!

I can't go another yard.

You're right.

This isn't shortcut.

If that was a short,

then I'd hate to go the long way.

We make camp here for night.

Quiet!

Maybe some animal.

Maybe two-legged animal.

Good night, Dick.

Tarzan, don't you ever rest?

Tarzan watch. Watch danger.

Long walk to Eagle Mountain.

Better girl sleep.

I can't sleep.

Girl think about mate?

Him and other things.

He think about you.

I see his eyes when he look at you.

You're wrong, Tarzan.

He doesn't care about me.

When we get back howe,

we're going to separate.

Sep... Separate?

What mean "separate"?

Well... In our country when a man

and a woman can't get along

with each other, they...

...separate, leave each other.

In jungle, girl need man to protect her.

And man need mate. You good mate any man.

I watch you. You brave.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Only I wouldn't have expected to find you

making a pass of another man's wife.

What is "pass"?

He means, making love to me.

That's putting it politely.

But I were about to find that

if there's who has right to make up

to this lady, surely it's me.

Didn't I save her life?

Did you?

Everybody knows I did.

If you did, then you fine and brave, too.

And yet, you speak such words

as if your heart were black.

-- What have I done?

-- I say what I feel here.

I see in Hawkins's face, and wonder:

why you not worry more we get near Opar?

Why should I worry?

Opar men always bad.

-- Listen, Tarzan, I don't know what you...

-- Quiet!

Poison spider bite him.

Poison stay too long.

Maybe we too, stay too long.

What do you mean by that?

This last night near Opar country.

Better Tarzan take you now.

We walk all night.

Tomorrow Tarzan take you to gorge.

Then all safe.

Hurry, get ready. We go now.
