Swiss Family Robinson Page #4

Synopsis: A family in route to New Guinea is shipwrecked on a deserted tropical island. They are forced to remain on the island because of the damage to the ship and the pirates that are roaming the islands. They create a home on the island (centering around a huge tree house) and explore the island and its wildlife. Plenty of adventure ensues as the family deals with issues of survival and pirates, and the brothers must learn how to live on the island with an uncertain future.

then we'll bring you back,

see how you feel.

Don't you think you can talk to me

like that.

- How much further?

- Hurry! You'll love the new house.

This way, Mother. Wait till you see

what we've done.

There's all sorts of things inside.

You just wait.

- We must be there now.

- Take off the blindfold.

Just a moment, please.

Old Swiss custom.

Carry the bride

across the threshold.

Father!

Duke, Turk, get out of my way.

How's this?

All the latest innovations.

Running water.

Genuine imported tortoiseshell.

And not forgetting the cooler.

This is Ernst's contribution.

He invented it.

He and Fritz built it.

See how it works, Mother? Look.

Big wheel turns the little wheel

up there,

the cup pours the water

into the shell,

it runs down the bamboo

and feeds the sink and the cooler.

I... can't believe it.

Darling, thank you.

I'm second. I go after Mother.

- Thank you.

- Up you go.

Up there's the boys' room.

And look.

This is something I worked out. When

in for the night, turn the wheel,

pull up the stairs.

Keeps out wild animals and neighbours

who may become a nuisance,

always wanting to borrow something.

We'll be troubled so much by them!

Get me down!

Remember this? I built it for us.

Don't tell me, you pull this

to ring for the butler.

Here, I'll show you.

You can lie and look at the stars.

Don't you remember?

That summer we went to Interlaken.

You said that some day,

if you could have your wish,

you'd sleep each night

so you could see the stars.

What is it? What's wrong?

These curtains don't belong here.

They're from the Captain's

cabin. We thought you'd like them.

It's so wonderful. I don't deserve

it. I can't believe it.

Don't worry about the curtains.

If you don't like them, I know

a woman who can fix anything.

Here it is. Tiger.

"Panthera tigris,

a native of Asia,

ranges north to Siberia

and south to India

and the Malay Peninsula."

Only with a land bridge

could there be so many

different animals on one island.

How do you know it's an island?

Why couldn't it be a peninsula?

Well, why don't you let us

try and sail around it?

You know how your mother feels

about that.

I think there used to be a

land bridge between here and Asia.

This is all that's left.

That's why so many different

types of animals are trapped here.

What do you think, Fritz?

Do you agree?

I suppose there could have

been one, a long time ago.

There's only one way to find out.

Ask Mother again.

Maybe she'll change her mind.

Mother wants to get to New Guinea

too. There might be a village

or some place where ships come in.

If the occasion presents itself, I

might bring it up again. What's this?
