Tarzan Escapes Page #3

- Where's Miss Parker?

- Oh, Captain Fry...

Come on, speak up, man.

- That man was here again.

- Miss Parker!

Oh, it's no good, sir. It's no good.

He's appropriated her, sir.

- Which way?

- Up.

Rita!

Bomba!

- Oh, we'll never find her.

- Brace up. That sort of thing won't help.

Help? He's probably carried her

clear out of the country by this time.

Rita, where are you?

I'm up here.

Rita.

- Don't worry, I'm all right.

- Isn't that Eric?

Yes, of course it's Eric.

I've found her!

- Hello, Jane.

- Hello.

- Who's the other one?

- He's the man who brought us here.

- Oh, isn't this wonderful?

- Darling, I'm so glad to see you.

Will you stop talking

and come down here?

Yes, we'll be right down. That is,

we will be right down, won't we?

Tarzan, take Rita down.

- Jane sorry?

- I've never been so happy...

...in my whole life.

Tarzan!

- Eric.

- Jane, darling, it's really you.

Yes, and very much alive

and quite well and awfully happy.

Rich too, I hear.

- Tarzan, this is my cousin Eric.

- My cousin Eric.

How do you do?

- Jane, this is Captain Fry.

- How do you do?

How do you do?

Feels so funny.

I haven't done this for ages.

Tarzan, this is Captain Fry.

Tarzan, Tarzan.

Captain Fry is a friend too.

He helped Rita and Eric to find us.

Friend too.

Oh, he...

He likes me!

- Hey!

- Please.

Well, that's the end of that gun.

I'm sorry, Captain Fry,

but Tarzan has seen guns kill.

Well, I understand his point of view.

Still, there's the matter

of how I'll protect my party.

That won't be necessary,

now that Tarzan's looking after you.

Well, what about lunch?

We can't run around the jungle hunting

our lunch with our hands.

No. You're to be our guest.

Rita, there's no use you camping out

and being uncomfortable...

...while you've got a whole house.

- House? You mean that...

Oh, this little bird's nest?

No, I mean our townhouse.

We've got lots of room.

You'll be comfortable.

Tarzan made it.

I designed the kitchen myself.

- The kitchen?

- Hot and cold water.

All the latest conveniences.

Captain Fry, tell your men to break camp.

I'll show you the way.

- Tarzan, do the marketing.

- Market.

- Yes, food for all these people.

- Food.

- And hurry back.

- Hurry back.

Now, don't keep that up all night.

Me? I'm sleeping aloft.

I'm company, I am.

And don't go having none

of them there nightmares.

Now, don't you let that roast burn.

Jane, we didn't come here

just to make you unhappy.

We think you owe it to yourself

to come back. Until you're quite sure.

I know. I think you came because

you wanted me more than my money.

- Oh, but, Jane...

- Oh, I'm not ungrateful.

No, Rita can have

all the silk stockings she wants.

Eric can have his career, an enormous

yellow roadster to drive his girl about in.

- There is a girl?

- Oh, naturally.

I'd like to meet her.

- Eric, couldn't I just sign a paper or...?

- No, Jane.

I think Uncle wanted to leave all his money

to his frightful museum.

You were a matter of conscience.

Otherwise, the will could never impose

so many obstacles.

Of course, if Tarzan would let me go...

I must ask you

to say nothing to Tarzan...

...until I've had a chance

to tell him my own way.

I want him to know why I'm going

and how soon I'm going to be back.

Jane, why not bring Tarzan with you?

- Back to London?

- Yes, of course!

If you like it, you could spend half

your time here and half your time there.

No, Rita.

Out here, Tarzan's a king.

How do I know what he'd be back there?

Perhaps, at first, sort of a freak. And

then, as he learnt more about civilization...

...he'd realize he was dependent

on his rich wife.

He'd never tolerate that.

Or if he did, it might be even worse.

Oh, Miss Parker, this looks like your lord

and master coming now.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- No, I meant, "How are you?"

- All right.

You were away so long.

Aren't they beautiful this year?

- Oh, and these are ripe too.

- Eat?

- As soon as we get some water, darling.

- Miss Parker!

Miss Parker!

- What is it, Rawlins?

- I don't think this animal likes me.

- Perhaps you're not using the right word.

- Oh, blimey.

No, that might be it.

Here, you.

Going up.

All aboard.

Oh, go on now, will you?

I'd do the same for you one day.

Alley-up!

Now, whatever you do, don't let go,

Ongali. Or whatever your name is.

Offhand, roast beef, I should say.

Make yourself useful in the kitchen,

Rawlins.

Yes, sir.

- Could I be of any service?

- Yes.

- Tarzan, show him how to get water.

- Water.

Now, this is very, very clever.

- Did all this come out of your own head?

- Head?

I mean the idea, not the water.

Water.

Oh, Cheetah, you might turn on that fan

for a while, will you?

Dinner, everyone. Dinner.

- Oh, I'm ready.

- What ho!

Supposing you try and wait on us

without getting your thumbs in the soup.

Here's my contribution.

Don't blame me if it's carrots.

It's not carrots. It's very good,

even if I don't know the name.

Eric, stop it.

Now, Rita, you sit here, Captain Fry,

Eric, over there.

- Tarzan will carve.

- Is there anything Tarzan can't do?

Matter of fact,

he's clever at almost everything.

Aren't you, Tarzan?

I say, look at the size of that roast.

No soup.

- Eat now.

- Oh, I second the motion.

You have some tribes on the escarpment?

Yes, indeed.

Awful savages they are too.

They must give you trouble,

don't they?

No, the most powerful tribe of all...

...lives about a day's safari west of here.

But Tarzan is such a juju to them

they leave us alone.

They don't even harm the animals.

But they'd be pleased

if we were to clear off...

...and leave this whole hunting ground

to them.

You don't have contact

with the natives?

I mean, they don't speak

any known language.

We leave them alone too.

But natives everywhere manage

to understand each other somehow.

Yes, that's true.

Miss Parker...

Thank you, Cheetah.

No, now, greedy.

Here, take this outside.

Go on.

Her table manners

aren't all they should be.

Oh, I'm very much obliged.

Yes, thank you.

Listen to me.

I want you to understand...

...that any attempt at familiarity

is very much resented. Thank you.

- Miss Parker, I've been thinking...

- Hey, old Fry's been thinking.

It's no concern of mine,

but I overheard you when you discussed it.

I've found a solution about what to do

with Tarzan when you go to England.

- Please, Captain Fry...

- Go?

No, you haven't heard me out.

My idea is not to leave him.

Take him with you.

No need for him to be dependent. I'll offer

him a contract that'll make him fortune.

- You mean, put Tarzan on exhibition?

- Nothing like that.

He could lecture on wildlife

and handle wild animals as never before.

What do you say? Come to England.

You'll be a sensation.

Captain Fry, my cousin particularly wished

that this shouldn't be mentioned.

Oh, I am sorry. I had no idea

it was supposed to be a secret.
