The Adventures of Huck Finn Page #8

Synopsis: Huckleberry Finn is a young boy in the 1840s, who runs away from home, and floats down the Mississippi River. He meets a run away slave named Jim and the two undertake a series of adventures based on the Picaresque novel by Mark Twain. As the story progresses the duo exploit an array of episodic enterprises, while Huckleberry slowly changes his views of bigotry. Along the way, Huck and Jim meet the King and Duke, who ultimately send the protagonists towards a different route on their journey. As Huck begins to have a change of heart, he gradually begins to distinguish between right and wrong, and conclusively, Huck is faced with the moral dilemma between the world's prejudice, of which he's grown up with, and the lessons Jim has taught him throughout the story about the evils of racism.

- Come on!

- Get to it!

It was a small...

thin...

blue...

- arrow!

- Arrow?

- Yes! There! You all heard what he said?

- Yeah!

Did you see any such mark?

- Nope.

- Nope.

You fraud!

That's right, because

there isn't any blue arrow.

Peter had his initials

tattooed on his breast,

the letters " P" and "W".

Well, come on, then!

Isn't that what you saw?

I didn't see

any tattoo, did you?

I never noticed

no tattoo at all!

They're all frauds!

- I say we tar 'em!

- Yeah!

- I say we shoot 'em!

- Yeah!

- I say we hang 'em!

- Yeah!

Hang 'em!

Hang all of'em!

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

There is one way to see which pair

is the real Wilks brothers,

or if neither of them is!

Let's dig up the corpse!

Yeah!

To the cemetery!

We've got the tar!

Well?

Dig it up!

- Hey, we found it, doc!

- They hit it!

All right, heave!

Won't be long now,

Deputy Hines!

- Push it! Push it!

- Got it?

- Almost got it!

Push!

- Eeewwhh!

- Oh!

My good God!

There's gold in there!

Aah!

It's the Wilks' gold!

We'd best be goin', Jim!

Huck? I thought you'd have

your neck stretched by now!

I'm a little quicker

than that.

- Why, Huck?

- Why, what?

Why'd ya come and get me?

'Cause you're my friend, Jim.

Oh, come on.

Now, let's get

to that steamboat!

- Come on!

- It's the boy with that runaway slave!

- Hit the trail!

- Get 'em!

Fire!

Aah! Unh!

You all right, Huck?

I just tripped. I'm all right.

Keep goin'!

Unh! Unh!

Last call for Cairo

and all points north!

All aboard!

Almost there, Huck!

We made it, Huck!

Huck?

Oh! Oh, my little friend!

Oh. Oh.

- Go on, Jim. Go on.

- I ain't goin' nowhere without you.

- What are ya doin',Jim?

They'll catch ya.

They won't find ya

in the dark.

I got to get ya to a doctor.

I'll be okay.

Ya...

Ya can't take me, Jim.

They'll catch ya.

They'll lynch ya.

- Don't go, Jim.

- Last call for Cairo! Last call for Cairo!

- All aboard!

- I don't care what happens to me, Huck.

I just want

to get you well.

Jim...Jim...

We had us

a great adventure, didn't we, Jim?

- We sure did, Huck.

- And I'd do it all over again.

Yeah.

Get 'em!

Oh!

You can't...

You can't kill him.

Don't you cry for me,

Mr. Finn.

You're the best friend

I ever had, Jim.

You're the only friend

I ever had.

Ya can't.

Aah! No!

Jim!

No, ya can't take him.

He's all I got.

Ready?

- Tighten it up.

- Aah! Aah!

Leave the boy alone! He's innocent!

- Now, Mary Jane!

- And if he was trying to help that slave,

he had a good reason for it.

Now you let them both go!

Now!

Aw, let him go.

Lucky day, boy!

You're awake.

He's awake.

He's awake!

Sweetie, we were so worried about you

but you're going to be all right now.

My little Huckleberry!

Widow Douglas.

Why, how'd you get here?

Lands, child.

You've been out cold for a week.

When I heard what happened,

I took the first steamer down.

Well, I'm sure ya think

I'm low-down and miserable...

for tryin'

to set Jim free,

- but do ya hate me?

- Not at all, child.

I'm right proud of you. Just because

an idea is popular, like slavery,

don't make it right.

That's what Jim told me.

Your little heart

guided you quite well.

Hey, Jim!

You lie still,

and I'll bring you some soup.

Well, look at you.

What is it, Jim?

Did somebody

do something to you?

- 'Cause if they did, why...

- Miss Watson died.

A few weeks ago.

And, well, she was so ashamed...

that she was going to sell me away

from my wife and my children, that...

she set me free

in her will, Huck.

I'm a free man, Huck.

I'm a free man.

Children, come here, please.

- Mr. Jenkins!

- Good-bye, Adolphus Huckleberry.

Well, I healed up just fine.

Mary Jane and her sisters,

along with the Wilks brothers,

gave me $500 for my troubles

and my chivalrousness.

But since I got no real use

for money, I gave it all to Jim...

for his family.

The Widow Douglas

said she'd adopt me...

and take me home

and try and civilize me...

but I don't know

if I could stand it...

'cause I've been there before.

Now, where did

Huckleberry go to?
