Come on in. | Over here.
Hey, little maka.
No, thanks, kimo.
Kimo! Help! | There's a man in the surf!
Look, there's a man.
Quickly.
Pull him up. | Easy with him.
Quickly. | Pull him up here.
Take it easy now.
Mama! | Mama, come quick!
Mama!
Mama, mama!
My goodness, boy, | what is it?
There! A man, i found, | just about drowned.
He's bad off, mom.
- Fix him good. | - He's heavy.
- Oh, brother. | - He's hurt.
Miss maka.
What you boys doin' here | making noise in the nighttime?
It's all right, Liliha. They | brought a man who needs some help.
The side room.
Kimo.
Take it easy now.
All right, you boys. | Don't stand around | where you don't belong.
Liliha! We'll need hot water, | alcohol and swabs, quickly!
Yes, miss maka.
- Good morning, kimo. | - Good morning, little maka.
How do you feel?
Well, i've felt worse.
I just can't remember when.
- Who are you? | - I'm Booton.
I asked you a straight-On | question, boy.
No, foolin', sir. That's | my name, Booton Macavoy.
- Where are we? | - In mom's spare bedroom.
No, where in the world | are we?
Oh, well we're on kauai.
- What's that? | - One of the islands the sandwich islands.
How far is that from texas?
Oh. Well, to tell you the truth,
I don't think you can | get there from here.
At all?
I went to honolulu | once, though.
It's not as bad as my son says.
Well, | good morning, ma'am.
Honolulu's a couple | day's sail from here.
Are you feeling better?
Well, i'm beginning | to make some recovery. | Yes, ma'am.
And you, young man, you're not | even supposed to be here. Now scoot.
I was just trying to help.
If you really | mean that, son,
I could use some shavin' soap | and straight razor,
To kinda get out | from underneath this.
Can he use dad's razor, mama?
Well, not if your man feels | strongly about it. Some do.
My husband passed away | two years ago.
Oh, i'm sorry to hear that, ma'am.
You know where | your father's things are.
I'm henrietta Macavoy.
I'm pleased | to meet you, ma'am.
You're lucky to survive, | you know.
Well, you can't drown if you | was meant for something worse.
It's just a figure of speech.
Just that, me and the sea, | we don't get along together.
Oh, then you did | come off a ship?
Come off? Yes ma'am, | i think that's right.
I just wish i'd never got on it.
You're not a deserter?
As the lord as my witness, | ma'am, i am a wronged man.
That may be, mr.--
Ah, Costain. | Lincoln Costain.
My friends call me linc.
Mr. Costain,
I suggest as soon | as you're well enough,
You get yourself back to your ship.
Get back? | I was shanghaied, ma'am.
Morning, boss. | You're looking handsome already.
Liliha make you some good soup. | Fix your body up proper.
Just what might | that be, ma'am?
Make this from raw fish, some | lizard powder and dried squid.
She said it would | put hair on my chest,
But all it did was make me gag | 'til my eyes watered.
Booton, behave yourself.
If it's all the same | to you, miss lili--
Liliha. You take some. | Go ahead.
- You like, no? | - No, that's pretty bad, | that is.
Actually, i'm not very hungry. If i could | just have my pants so i could get up.
Your pants were so badly torn, | we had to mend them.
Mom, they're in the garden | again, tearing up everything!
What is it? | What is it, boy? | What's the matter?
It's one of the animals. A big one. | He's eating up the vegetables again.
Get out of here!
Get out of my garden, you hear me!
You get out! | Get!
One of the animals? | Well, i'll be dogged.
You didn't tell me you had | cattle around here, button.
- Liliha! | - Booton!
We don't, that thing's wild. But | i sure hope he eats the turnips.
Well, he may be wild, | but he ain't no thing.
That's about a thousand | pounds of prime bull out there.
You stubborn, | willful, worthless,
Misbegotten beast!
That's a right nice | vocabulary, miss Macavoy,
But you'll never | talk him out of there.
Look at it. | Just look at it.
- Is this soup? | - Soup!
- Oh, hi, Costain. | - Howdy, barton.
Booton!
Look what i got for you.
That's right nice of you, son, but i'm | not real hungry just now. I just ate.
No, it ain't to eat. It's a | real hawaiian hat. For you.
Do you like it?
Like it? | Yeah, yeah, it's, uh--
It's real colorful, ain't it?
Make you look | real pretty, boss.
Put it on. It'll be great.
Well, it's just | a little more decorated | than what i had in mind.
That's all right. Make you | look real hawaiian style.
That really is quite | becoming, you know.
It's time to go into town, Booton.
I don't think i'll | go in today, mom.
I've got some things i've been | planning to do around here.
Well, all right. You be sure and | make yourself useful while i'm gone.
I'll be back by supper.
Ma'am.
Ma'am, you won't forget to ask | about a ship for me, will you?
I'll check the ships in port for a | work passage situation, mr. Costain.
Thank you, ma'am.
And if i had a good-Bye kiss,
I just might bring home | some rock candy too.
Bye, mom. | Have a good trip.
You behave yourself. | Come on, tuck.
Come on, come on.
Hey, son.
- What's the matter? | - She's probably gonna see that Bryson.
Who's that Bryson?
He's some old man who keeps | pestering her to marry him.
Oh. | I sure hope she don't.
- Why is that? | - Well, he wears perfume | for one thing.
He's always patting me on the | head and calling me "my boy."
That's what he always says. | "Well, my boy, you're | sprouting up like a weed."
He probably thinks | that's a compliment.
Well, it's not.
I'll say this for him though. | He's got good rock candy.
Oh, well, that's | a good quality to have.
A lot of men | don't have that.
Say, how 'bout you showing me | around the spread?
Well, sure. I'll show you | where i fished you out first.
Down by the cliffs | there's some caves and things.
All right, hold it up. | Can't see it all | in five minutes.
I do wish you would begin to take me | a little more seriously, henrietta.
I do, Cal. | You know i do.
You know what a disastrous | year last year was.
And crop prices don't | look any better this year.
- Then with the increased | burden of taxes-- | - Oh, we'll muddle through.
- We always have, haven't we? | - Yes, but that's the point.
There's no reason for a woman | like you to have to struggle so...
Just to eke out | a meager existence.
Why don't you put | the place up for sale?
But i don't want to sell the farm.
You know how much it means to me.
Yes, i do.
My company is going to do | great things in the islands.
And as my wife, | you could--
I could have anything | my heart desires.
And i know you mean that, Cal.
But don't you see. | It just isn't possible.
Even if--
With the amount of money i owe you,
It is not proper for us to talk about | anything but a business relationship.
Money means nothing. | You know that.
- It means nothing at all. | - It does to me.
- Henrietta, i wish-- | - Please.
That isn't going to change.
If ever i can do anything, | you just let me know.
