In a day or two he'll

be just as good as new.

No savvy, huh?

Johnny...well...one...two...day.

Understand?

Come here, come here!

Come on now, there's

nothing to be afraid of.

Come on, you come up on deck with me.

Johnny...all right!

You come on now!

No.

How is he, Mac?

He's still feverish,

but he'll put out all right.

Well, Fellas, what's the verdict?

Does she go with us

or does she stay here?

I still contend that she

won't stand transplanting.

You know, you take a girl

that's been filled with

superstition all her life,

you can't suddenly

adapt her to our ways.

Aw, for heaven's sake, you

talk like some old Aunt Emma!

This is 1932!

She's a swell girl and I like her!

That Kipling stuff is a lot of hooey!

You're wrong, Chester.

That boy's whole life

is wrapped up in his family.

Why, if he came home with a native wife,

it'd break his mother's heart!

"For East is East,

and West is West,"

"and never the twain shall meet."

Mac, what's the dope

on the North and South?

Aw, shut up!

Oh, Johnny.

Pele not like you.

You take me away from him.

He mad.

He want you die too.

But I not let you.

I go to Pele.

He forgive...everything

work right for you.

Luana...

- No.

- Yes, Johnny.

- Water.

- Water.

Water.

...a drink.

Water.

What do you want?

- What do you want?

- Something about Luana.

Hey, Skipper, find out what he wants!

Yes, Sir.

It's the old chief, the girl's

father, he's come for her.

Well, you tell him he can't have her,

that we're taking he back with us.

He says that the volcano

curse has been put on Johnny,

and unless the girl returns

with them, Johnny will die, too.

My father right!

I go...please.

No, Luana, we're going

to take you with us.

No, I go go back to my people.

I say goodbye to Johnny.

No, Luana...

We take you with us.

Mac, if I had that much courage, I'd...

Hey, Skipper, let's get outta here.

This place is getting my goat!
