Tarzan Escapes Page #4

Synopsis: Jane's cousins Rita and Eric Parker arrive in Africa searching for her. Their uncle has died and has left her half a million pounds provided she agrees to return to civilization. A professional hunter, Captain Fry, quickly agrees to escort them to the escarpment where rumor has it there there lives a great white ape. He's intrigued when told that the great white ape is likely Tarzan and his plan is to capture him and put him on display. When they all find each other, Jane agrees to return to London if only to ensure that her cousins get their late uncle's wealth. Fry manipulates Tarzan into believing that Jane will never return only to trap him. When Jane and the others are taken prisoner by warring tribesmen, it's left to Tarzan to rescue them.

- Secret? Jane go?

- Hold on, Tarzan. This wasn't Jane's idea.

There's a paper at home

that Eric and I must have signed.

Otherwise, we'll lose a lot of money

if Jane doesn't help us.

- Money?

- Yes, Tarzan, money.

You know, to get clothes and food and...

Food, clothes...

...money?

- No, Tarzan, you don't understand.

- Money isn't that, it's...

- Of course he doesn't understand!

I hope he never does.

- Secret.

- No, Tarzan. No.

Jane go?

Jane people go?

Only if you're willing...

...not if it's going to cause you

the least bit of unhappiness.

Tarzan!

Cheetah.

Tarzan, Tarzan.

Jane no happy?

How shall I tell you, darling?

I love Tarzan.

Tarzan is Jane's love.

Like the stars over the night,

like the air to breathe.

Tarzan makes me alive,

but Eric and Rita are my friends.

Friends, like rain

at the end of the summer...

...like the wind moving

the tops of the jungle.

I am yours. You are mine.

But I must help Rita. She is my friend.

Friend, as Tarzan was Cheetah's friend...

...to help her when she was in the trap.

- Trap?

Yes, trap.

No, darling, not a real trap...

...but just as strong, just as horrible.

Jane want go?

Don't you remember how you went when

Timba was in the pit the tribes had dug?

Jane want go?

Tarzan, believe me...

...when the moon has made safari

three times...

...three times, and when she comes

out of the river, big and round...

...and looks in on us here,

she'll find us as we are now.

Together.

And my safari will be over forever.

And I will never go away again.

Tarzan...

...and Jane.

Understand?

Understand.

Bravo, Rawlins!

Now let's see you strangle a lion.

- I'm going with you.

- Jane, darling!

But first, I want today with Tarzan alone.

- We need that for saying goodbye.

- Yes, of course...

...but couldn't we go back to our old camp

and leave this to you?

No, Tarzan and I have

a little Garden of Eden up the river.

He's already gone there ahead

to wait for me.

- I'll be ready first thing in the morning.

- Tomorrow morning?

- You wanted to get away, didn't you?

- That's right.

Of course.

Don't mind their laughing at you.

I was much worse than you are

when I started.

Practice never made anybody perfect

like he is, miss.

I believe you think more of Tarzan

than all the others do.

Miss Jane, he's the finest gentleman

I ever knew...

...trousers or no trousers.

- Thank you.

Tarzan would be proud of that.

- I'd better get the natives started packing.

- No hurry.

- Hadn't I better get the cage down?

- No, I'm leaving that here.

There'll be no stopping

for gorillas on the way.

We have no other use

for it now, have we?

No, sir. But it's a very valuable

piece of merchandise.

What you sent all the way

to Birmingham for.

Go and see the boys have no thorns

in their feet for tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

- And send Bomba to me.

- Yes. Bomba!

Captain Fry wants you.

Bomba, listen.

Out west where sun go down, great tribe.

For safari, one day.

Bomba move fast, half day.

- Take boy and find chief.

- How find chief?

You'll find him, all right.

What's the matter, you afraid?

- Bomba no afraid.

- Good.

Tell chief bwana send.

Bwana want chief for friend.

Bwana want warriors

to get through Gaboni country.

Want spears, canoe, food.

Bwana great, good friend of chief.

- What bwana give chief?

- Tell chief bwana take away juju.

Take away great white ape.

Tell chief bwana send one

white man, two white women for juju.

Well, get along there.

Yes, bwana.

You're sending Bomba on ahead,

Captain Fry?

Yes. It's always a good idea to scout out

the country one intends to go through.

- Oh, that was lovely.

- Cold.

- Oh, it was not.

- Hot.

- It was just right.

- Just right?

Just right.

Tarzan, stop!

Tarzan, don't. I'm tired.

Tarzan, I'll fall on my face.

Cheetah!

Cheetah, stop it.

Cheetah.

Don't you behave yourself

for one minute?

Go on. Go on home.

Go on home.

Yes, and it'll serve you right if she tells

her mother everything that's happened.

Tarzan?

Tarzan?

Tarzan!

Very well, then. Doesn't make

any difference to me where you are.

You see? I found you.

You can't get away from me.

I wouldn't squeal if this

was the tallest tree in Africa...

...and there were 10,000 lions below.

I squealed.

- Jane.

- Darling...

...I love you so much.

Jane.

Yes, Tarzan. Forever...

...and ever.

Thank you, darling.

- You see chief?

- Yes, bwana. Chief say he do.

- Get spears, canoes, everything?

- Yes, bwana.

- Get the men together.

- Yes, bwana.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Jane, where's Tarzan?

He's not coming.

He didn't want to say goodbye.

Is there anything you'd like to get

before we leave?

No. Nothing.

Jane, darling.

I know just how you must be feeling.

I'm all right.

Wouldn't you like to go

and say goodbye...

...to your lovely little house

just for a minute?

No.

I'd much rather not.

Miss Parker, join the main group

with Rawlins.

I'll be on the right flank with a few men,

and Bomba will be on the left.

We must take every precaution.

Cheetah.

Goodbye, Cheetah.

Look after Tarzan when I'm gone.

- You tired, Jane?

- At this pace?

Through the trees,

I could be back with Tarzan in an hour.

I'm sorry.

Isn't it odd we haven't heard

from Captain Fry?

Yes, isn't it?

- Do you suppose we lost our way?

- Oh, no, miss.

No, if we had gone off a straight line,

we'd have run into Bomba or Captain Fry.

On second thoughts,

I think I'll look around a bit.

Take good care of your sister

and Miss Jane, sir.

- Why, Rawlins, you talk as though...

- Cheerio, sir.

Bomba?

You idiot, don't you understand

you're heading the wrong way?

- Way.

- Why, you're barmy.

- Now, face about and join the rest.

- Bwana say go.

- You're lying.

- Bwana, he go.

Oh, he did, did he?

Now, suppose you just tell me

what he went back for.

Bwana no say.

Well, I know anyhow.

Bomba, you can't do it.

Now, chuck Fry and, so help me...

...when we get home,

I'll give you a new 5 pound note.

I've got one.

So help me, I have, Bomba.

Bomba!

You can't go and help Fry

put him in a cage.

Bwana, he say do.

Oh, he did, did he? Well, he won't!

You just wait until Tarzan comes leaping

and roaring at you...

...and tear all your beast heads off.

Where were you going, Rawlins?

Captain Fry.

- Fancy meeting you here.

- Yes, we both seem to have strayed a bit.

- You were going back, Rawlins?

- Who, me, sir?

Oh, yes, sir. I was just going back

to get something...

...what I forgot while I was packing, sir.

- What thing?

- What?

Well, you mean, what thing

what I forgot, sir?

Well, come along, then.

- Oh, a locket, sir.

- Oh, a locket.

Yes, sir. A small, gold locket, sir.

Oh, it's very valuable, sir.

- A picture in it.

- With a picture?

Yes, sir. My mother, sir.

- Well, cheerio, sir.

- You've told me a dozen times...

...you were practically born

in an orphan asylum.

Well, I was, sir. But you see,

as orphans, sometimes, sir, we...
