Swiss Family Robinson Page #5

A spelling competition?

"Tiger, bear, elephant."

That's a list of animals

we've identified so far.

"Hyena, monkey, lizard."

Ostrich.

Help!

- Francis, let go!

- I can't let go

- or he'll get away.

- Let him go anyway. We'll catch him.

- Are you alright?

- Yes, I'm alright.

Are you alright?

Not a mark on him

that won't wash off!

- Grab his neck.

- We can learn to ride him.

Let me try. Help me out.

We'd better get him

trained a bit first.

- Let me try it, then.

- Alright.

I get to try next.

I got it.

You silly...

Here I go.

Look out for that rock.

No, you gotta keep swinging.

Everybody, follow the leader.

Come on, I'll race you down.

Mother, look at me.

- Go on, Father. You can do it.

- Of course I can.

Here I come.

- Where are we going?

- Wait and see.

Come on.

Look at the monkeys. Look.

- What?

- Look at them swinging.

- Look at that.

- I can do that.

- Let's see you try.

- Anyone can change hands.

- Now, steady.

- Go on.

My turn next.

- No, my turn.

- After me.

Are you alright?

Never better. See what I mean?

- You really are very graceful.

- Thank you very much.

Isn't this the kind of life we were

meant to live on this earth?

Everything we need. Everything's

right here, right at our fingertips.

You know, if only people could have

all this and be satisfied,

- the world wouldn't have problems.

- Or any future generations.

There isn't everything we need

right at our fingertips.

- Now what are you talking about?

- This.

It's wonderful for today, but what

about tomorrow? And our sons?

- What future is there here for them?

- Tomorrow can take care of itself.

Suppose we never got away?

They'd never know what

it was like to be married.

Yes. Yes, that's right.

Now you come to mention it, there

aren't many girls around here.

It's nothing to joke about.

Suppose they never have a chance

to know what it's like to have a

family?

What you're trying to say is

we ought to make every effort

to get away?

- Exactly.

- Right.

Then I'll tell the boys

they can sail around the coast,

- see what they can find.

- That's not what I said!

Sooner or later

we'll have to face it.

But what do they know about sailing

and outrigging and...

- Do you think it's safe?

- We can't hold on to them forever.

Come on, Rocky,

you can pull it faster.

Come on, pull.

Fritz, grab hold. That's it.

We'll be back soon and maybe

we'll find a ship to take us away.

Don't worry, Mother.

Be careful, Fritz.

Get Rocky clear.

Back up.

Well...

It's going to be up to you,

Fritz. If you run into a storm

or trouble of any kind, I'm relying

on your judgement, your good sense.

Make sure you both get safely back.
