I'm glad you missed him. I don't like

rare duck. I like my ducks well-done.

Now take my uncle.

You take your uncle.

They did.

They did?

My uncle's a hunter. Well,

I'd rather not hear about it.

My uncle always goes

out duck hunting.

Now Monday he takes four dogs,

and Tuesday he takes three dogs.

Gracie, Gracie, why does he take four

dogs Monday and three dogs Tuesday?

Because that other dog won't

follow him on Tuesday. Why?

Because

he shot him Monday.

Nice work. He aims at little

innocent birds and shoots dogs.

Yeah, all except one dog. His

favorite dog. His name is Scram.

Your uncle's name is Scram? Oh,

stop. No, the dog's name is Scram.

You see, that saves my uncle a

lot of money calling him Scram.

Because the dog's name is Scram,

that saves your uncle a lot of money?

Sure. When he calls the dog to feed

him, he hollers, ''Scram! Scram!''

And the dog runs away. I get the

whole thing. And the dog runs away.

I mean, the whole-

Gracie, the stratosphere

duck! My gun!

George, hit him! Hit

him hard! Hit him hard!

Gracie! Gracie!

I missed him.

I missed him!

George, you missed him with your gun,

but you didn't miss him with your head.

I think you shoot straighter with your

head than with your gun. You think so?

I think so. Let me tell ya

somethin'. There is nothing up here.

Yeah, I know.

What was that? The moose trap.

Something's caught in my moose trap.

Moose trap.

Me know you.

Gracie, what's the matter?

We just caught Tarzan's mate.

Tarzan is a character in a

book. Well, maybe he got out.

Would you mind helping me

out of this hole?

Well, who are you?

Where did you

come from?

We were shipwrecked on the other

side of the island. Do you live here?

Well, temporarily. We're Mr. and

Mrs. George Martin. Naturalists.

Our camp-

I'm Miss Doris Worthington.

Oh. Oh, Gracie, this

is the missing heiress.

Hello. Maybe she knows where my missing brother

is. Do you know where my missing brother-

Gracie. Instead of shooting a bird,

I should have shot a little idiot.

If you gotta shoot an idiot, shoot a big

one. We're gonna have company for dinner.

We heard about your

shipwreck on the radio.

Ships are searching all the

islands for you. Oh, how nice.

Our boat is coming next month. In the meantime,

we could make you comfortable at our camp.

Thank you. But for the present,

could you just lend us some clothes?

Oh, certainly.

Why, certainly.

And a kit of tools?

Tools?

Yes, a tool kit,

if you'll be so kind.

Playing boats?

Tools! This is luck!

A gift from heaven. Now you can build

that city you were talking about.

This feels like a blanket. That's to

sleep on after you've built your city.

Clothes! Ohh! Now where do

you suppose they came from?

Maybe they

were washed ashore.

Here.

Carry some of these.

Come on.

Well, sir, it's a good thing somebody

around here keeps his eyes open.

Sailor, I don't know how we'd

ever get along without you.

Hey, look, Robinson Crusoe. Why do

we have to do everything in one day?

Is our lease up tonight? Oh, stop

crabbin'. The work is good for your liver.

My liver never did

anything for me.

Anyhow you'll all

sleep well tonight.

See, a little work

won't hurt you... for once.

Oh, I don't mind work now and then.

But I don't want it to become a habit.

Don't say that, Uncle Hubert. He

worked harder himself than any of us.

He certainly did.

Why, we've only begun to work.

Tomorrow we'll get

an early start, about 6:00.

What? And waste

the whole morning?

Stop grumbling. The least you

can do is obey orders cheerfully.

Without the sailor to lead us,

where would we be now? Asleep.

We'd probably be dead of starvation

and exposure. Oh, now don't exaggerate.

I'm gonna hit the hay.

Call me October 8.

How can you think of sleep

on a night like this?

Smell the breeze. It's perfume.

Smell it yourself. It's your idea.

Aw, let's go out in the

jungle and pick some orchids.

No, I'm tired. Let 'em

come out here and pick us.

Now you draw two hearts

with an arrow joining them.

Then you put the initials inside

the hearts. Oh, I didn't see you.

That's what annoyed me. I'm just

trying to figure out a simple method...

of bringing fresh water

into the camp. See-

Sailor, look at the moon.

Now look at me.

Now tell me

what you're thinking about.

Uh, this, uh-

this diagram. I-

Sailors aren't what they used to be.

No, sir. Gimme the good old sailors.

If I could get this

figured out tonight,

I think we could have it in

operation in three or four days.

How long do you expect to be here?

Well, your guess is as good as mine.

Maybe better. You know you're

just like that butler in the play,

the one that was marooned

with his lady?

What was his name?

Crichton, isn't it?

Crichton. That's right.

The Admirable Crichton.

Only he was dressed in skins,

showing his chest.

Am I gonna get to see

your chest, sailor?

Everything's funny

to you, isn't it?

The lady fell in love with

him. I remember that part.

But it didn't turn out very

happily. He had to give her up.

[ remember that part. It must

have been fun while it lasted.

Oh, she was

a selfish little prig.

How could he fall in love

with a selfish little prig?

I did.

Who is she?

Wouldn't it be better if you ran along

and let me figure out the water supply?

No. It's after

working hours.

Who is the little pig you

fell in love with? Prig.

Who is she?

You.

I fell in love with you the day

you walked up that gangplank.

You kept it pretty quiet. What's

the matter with me, too much money?

No. Nobody has too

much money. What then?

Don't you think you

better... go to bed?

Look, sailor. Why didn't you

tell me you're in love with me?

A man hasn't a right to keep

a thing like that to himself.

I didn't want to.

Why not?

Because I have a fairly

clear idea about my life-

what I want and what

I have to do. Such as?

When we get off this island, I'd like to

continue around the worid. I'm an architect.

At least, that's what

they told me at college.

I've been offered

a job in New York.

Is that so important?

No, but it's better than

letting a wife support you.

You mean that, sailor?

I wish I didn't.

I never thought

about it that way before.

But, you see, it hurts because I saw

you too when I came up the gangplank.

You had a smudge of grease

on your nose.

Well... what are

we gonna do about it?

Nothing. Then why are

you making love to me?

I'm not making love to

you. Yes, you are, sailor.

Really, you are.

And I want you to,

though I don't know why.

Once in a blue moon

Someone like you

happens along

Out of a clear blue sky

Here are you

Here am I

Once in a blue moon

Life will become

a beautiful song

Though we were

worids apart

Here we are

heart to heart

Souls

That used to be

strange souls

Now are sharing

A dream so divine

Lips

That used to be

strange lips

Are declaring

I love you

Will you be mine

Say you'll be mine
