We'll get together!

Yoo-hoo.!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo.!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo!

Yoo-hoo.!

Ah, there you are. Well, how ya

doin'? Let go of that poor animal.

I can't. I haven't got

any life preserver.

No, you wouldn't have. That's

what's the matter with my yacht-

sailors who haven't sense enough to wear

a life preserver when the ship's sinking.

I should fire you. Ah, but

you did. Don't you remember?

You're still fired.

Okay, okay. Pay me off.

Hmph! Think you're funny?

Quiet!

I'll talk as much as I

- Shut up! I think I hear land.

You hear land? Do I have to

duck you to keep you quiet?

You wouldn't dare.

Oh! With the whole Pacific Ocean to

swim in, I'd have to bump into you!

Get along little Droopy Get along

Work for the night

is coming

Work through

the morning hours

Work while-

This is beginning

to depress me.

We're still on our first day,

so you better keep your chin up.

My chin is fine. The trouble is with

my chassis. Come on. It's your turn.

All right. What's the

idea of the scotch?

Oh, I brought it along

in case. [n case. Get it?

I bet the answer's funny.

Work for the night

is coming

Work through

the morning hours

Work while

the dew is sparkling

If you'd kept out of it, I might have

married her before the yacht crashed.

Yeah. Then you'd have had her

money. Well, now nobody's got it.

Look! We're in!

Put me down! Oh, I can't let you drown.

Put me down, sailor! Don't be any

more annoying than you can help.

Ooh!

You put me down, all right!

Looks like a nice little island.

Looks pretty lonesome. Did

everybody else get off on lifeboats?

I don't know. Oh, the boys were

getting me a life preserver.

One of them did. Do you know

which one? No, you wouldn't.

Well, you might tell me what

you think happened to 'em.

Well, there's a chance

they might have drowned.

Why, with this sun,

we ought to be dry in no time.

I can't stand these wet

clothes a minute longer.

Then you better get

up there and take 'em off.

Sailor,

wring that out for me.

It hurts me to tell you this,

but you'll have to get along...

without a lady's man

for a time.

I hate to tell you this, but I'm

gonna bounce this rock on your head...

as soon as [ get dressed.

Ah-ah. Remember what happened

when you just slapped me.

Well, don't be unsociable, sailor.

Let's try and get along.

Well, look.

At what?

The boys.

The boys!

Well, don't stand there.

Go help them. Do something.

Right this way.

Hey, sailor,

pull us ashore!

Yes, sir!

Come on.!

Nuts.

You're safe. That's the important

thing. All those hours thinking you lost.

Which one of you saved me? Well, I, uh-

Well, don't be modest

about it. Tell me. Doris.!

Darling! Ohh!

Honey!

Well, Doris! Oh, Uncle Hubert!

Thank heavens you're safe!

Da- Ohh.

The shipwreck hasn't turned

out as well as I'd hoped.

Oh, hello, sailor. I

wish we could dry out.

Sailor, build a fire.

Hurry up. I'm hungry.

Breakfast. That's an idea.

Where are we gonna get it?

- There must be things to eat.

- This is an island, probably uninhabited.

Well, the first thing is

a fire. Have you matches?

Can you cook?

Certainly.

- Swell. Then we can have some breakfast.

- Not anything that takes long.

I'm famished. Something simple

- a fish, for example.

We'll leave the menu to you. I think

maybe we better get one thing straight.

We're on an island in the

middle of the Pacific Ocean.

There's nobody here to fetch and

carry for you. Well, what's he mean?

I fired him. This seems

to be a devil of a time-

You'll be well-paid for any- You can cut

that. We're off the gold standard here.

What do you expect us to do? The last

thing that you'd ever think of. Work.

See, I'm willing to do all I can,

but you got to help yourselves.

Gather driftwood, dig clams, pack water,

build a shelter. What are you gonna do?

Well, I'll show you how if you wish.

You mean you're gonna run things?

Well, it looks as though I'd

have to. You seem to forget-

You can take it or leave it.

Naturally, we don't take it.

Can't take it, you mean.

''Don't take it,'' I said.

Okay. I didn't suggest it.

You got hungry.

Well, now don't you think

you were a little hasty, dear?

We'll probably starve.

Oh, we'll look after you.

Just leave everything to

us. Now I know we'll starve.

Aah!

Oh! Ohhh!

My lingerie. It's a

blessing you're not in them.

Gracie, you've lost something. Yeah

- Oh.

Aw. Oh, thanks, George.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for what?

For my panties.

I know better than to ask you, but

what are you talking about? My panties.

It was sweet of you to buy them

for me, and such a surprise too.

Listen, we're in the middle of

the ocean on an uninhabited island.

We are here collecting species of flora

and fauna. What station are they on?

What station are they on?

They're not on the radio. Yes.

Flora are plants and fauna are animals.

Flora and Fauna will be on the radio...

because that combination sounds as good

as Amos and Andy, don't you think so?

I think so.

Listen, what I'm trying to say to you is

that there are no stores on the island.

Where would I buy panties?

Well, I give up, George,

but why don't you buy 'em in

the same place you bought these?

Yes, well

- Stop it. Stop it. You're getting daffy.

George, another surprise. Am I getting

a one-pound box or a two-pound box?

I love daffy. That's my favorite

candy. Stop it. You're getting nuts.

If it's just the same to you,

could I have daffy without nuts?

I've had it with nuts. Listen, try

to understand what I'm talking about.

You're just plain daffy. Now that's what I want

- just plain daffy.

I'm crazy about just

plain daffy. You're crazy.

My map! My map of the island! This

is the result of two months surveying!

What is all this? What are these

little marks? Those are my inventions.

That's my moose trap.

Moose trap?

You probably mean a mousetrap. Oh,

no. This is for more than one mouse.

You see, two mouse

make a mice.

And two mice make a moose.

And two mice make a moose?

How is this silly invention of yours

gonna catch moose? Well, it doesn't.

It catches lions and

tigers. Lions and tigers?

Well, sure. You see,

it has a sign on the trap.

It says, ''Keep out. For moose

only.'' That explains it, I guess.

And the lions and tigers

can't read,

So they go in and get caught.

so they go in and get caught.

I wanna show you my invention. You couldn't

invent something that would make you disappear.

Well, I'm working

on that. Come on.

Look. Footprints.

Where do they come from?

What are they doing here?

Well, that's part of my trap.

Animals always follow

footprints, you know. I-

What are you doing? I'm picking up the

footprints so the animals won't follow us.

''So the animals won't follow us''? Yes.

It's part of your invention. That

came right out of my own head.

I'd have it stuffed. Your head. My head?

Oh, I have brains.

Animals.

My shaving mirror.

I've been looking for it for days.

Well, that's part
