Tarzan Escapes Page #5

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.

We like to have a picture that

we can pretend that it's our mother, sir.

Oh, this one was a very jolly-looking

old lady, sir.

Snow-white hair, sir.

I picked her up cheap, sir.

Fifteen bob at a secondhand shop

in Whitechapel, sir.

I shouldn't go, Rawlins.

It might be dangerous.

Yes, sir. But all the same, sir,

I think I'd better go, sir.

It will be dangerous, Rawlins.

Yes, sir.

- Tarzan, I've got a message.

- Jane?

Yes. Bad news, I'm afraid.

I sort of hate to tell you this,

but she's not coming back. Ever.

Tarzan, she couldn't tell you herself.

She asked me to tell you.

Oh, I'm sorry, Tarzan, but you see...

There's not much good talking, is there?

Goodbye.

Oh, Tarzan.

Do you know any remedy

for a poisonous snakebite?

You know, snake.

One of my safari boys.

Where boy?

Thanks. I'll show you.

Bomba! Bomba! Here, you fools!

Use your spears!

That was very generous of you, Tarzan.

Oh, I'm...

I'm ashamed of myself.

- I'll tell the others.

- Others?

Well, after all...

Tarzan, try and not think too much

about Jane.

- Jane.

- Well, you've a right to know the truth.

Jane knew about this.

I tell you, she knew about it!

Jane.

Jane want Tarzan in trap.

Bomba, we've got him!

Come out, you fools!

He's safe now.

Have Abdul tell the Hymandis chief

we're on our way.

Tell him we've got great white ape.

Come on, get him up!

Captain Fry, isn't this rather

an unusual way of making a safari?

- Unusual? In what way?

- With Rawlins back there all those hours...

...wouldn't an advance guard

be more practical?

I have my own fussy way

of doing things.

The boys seem to be nervous

about being in a strange country.

Bomba! Push them along there.

Hymandis.

Bomba.

Keep your nerve, everybody.

Tell them want to see chief.

Stay where you are and don't let them

see that you're nervous.

Bwana come.

Tell chief bwana glad to be friend.

Chief say glad bwana come.

Get him one of those bags of salt.

Tell chief give now spears, meat, canoes.

Tell chief bring white men,

two white memsahibs for juju.

Tell the chief I've got the great white ape.

Chief say bwana no got

white ape. He got white ape.

Tell chief I make juju.

Chief say he make juju.

Tarzan!

Tarzan!

Timba.

Timba.

Cheetah.

Tarzan, I knew you'd come.

Don't move before Tarzan

gives the signal.

- Did you hurt your arm, Rita?

- No, it's my leg.

- Tarzan, make a litter.

- Litter?

I'm all right, only a twisted knee.

Don't walk. It'll be just as quick

to carry you on a litter.

Come on, Mr. Parker.

We'll hold them as long as we can.

- Hurting?

- A bit.

Captain Fry, come on.

Quick!

What did Tarzan mean by "ungatowa"?

We're escaping through the cave

where the swamp makes smoke.

It's juju, forbidden.

They'll never follow.

This is the first time in Africa I haven't

been able to see some sign of a bird.

Thank heaven we're out at last.

You can't let him do this.

Tarzan.

Well, haven't I the right to be heard?

Escarpment.

This is our way. The escarpment

slopes gradually here.

There are no savage tribes,

nothing to trouble you going home.

Going home.

How nice that sounds.

Tarzan.

Tarzan?

He's gone back.

Yes, of course he's gone. What are we

waiting for? Let's get the men together.

- Bomba, safari.

- Bomba, wait.

We've hardly got time

as it is to make camp before dark.

- We can't do this to you any longer.

- Rita, we've got to go.

We lied to you about going back.

You don't have to.

I appreciate what you're doing,

but let's go.

My dear, it's true.

Can you still write, darling?

Because they'll accept your signature.

And that's all we're taking back with us.

Listen, there's something you've got

to understand and try and forgive.

You see, we wanted to take you back

to where we thought you belong.

"Civilization," I think they call it,

but it's not for you.

And even if your coming back meant

that I'd inherit the world...

...I couldn't forget the look in Tarzan's

eyes when he thought he would lose you.

Stay here with your jungle flies...

...your funny little Cheetah and all

the trouble she gets into and Tarzan.

You've got the grandest possessions

that any woman can have.

Peace and comradeship...

...and perfect communion

with a man who's devoted...

...to making your life beautiful.

Don't you ever lose it.
