Swiss Family Robinson Page #7

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.

They won't harm me. I'm valuable for

ransom. Get Bertie free.

Get away if you can.

If they ransom me, I'll get a ship

and come back for you.

I won't leave without you.

Get away quickly.

Don't waste time on me. Go on!

- Run!

- No, I won't go!

Go on, leave me!

- Come on.

- I can't go on another step.

In here.

Pirates took your ship?

What were you, cabin boy?

The old gentleman

back there's your grandfather?

Come on.

And who are you anyway?

Where did you come from?

We were shipwrecked. Our ship...

Run.

Come on.

They're leaving.

They're going away.

Could be a trick, so we come back,

like the Greeks

and the Trojan horse.

I think we'll stay here

until daylight.

Probably save time

cutting across the island

instead of going around the beach.

No question about it now,

this is an island.

What about me?

What am I going to do?

I guess you'll come with us.

Right about that direction should

take us home.

But if they release my grandfather

he'll come back here to look for me.

Don't worry. He knows you're with us.

If we're not here,

he'll just sail around the island.

He couldn't get a ship past our

place unseen, even if he wanted to.

- Bertie, you can have the middle.

- Come on.

I'll just sit up. Not sleepy.

Do you imagine we've changed a lot

since we first landed?

- In what way?

- Lots. Like getting stronger,

- more sure of ourselves.

- I suppose so.

When we first came here,

everything scared us.

- All those strange noises.

- How could I forget?

We must have been pretty helpless.

That I'd have to agree with.

Listen. You don't think

we were something like him?

I don't think so.

Did you get a good look at his hands?

I bet he's never done anything.

A wealthy family, an only child.

- Sometime, look at the way he walks.

- I did!

And back home, we used to call

Jean Monteau a sissy.

Remember we were wishing

we could see some girls?

We're so close to getting our wish

but we've still missed it completely!

That direction. That's the way

we've got to go, Fritz.

We'll cross here. Doesn't look

as though it'll be over our heads.

Do we have to cross just here?

It's easy. Take off your clothes,

carry them over your head.

Better than walking in wet clothes.

Just until we've crossed

the deep part.

- I can't swim.

- I don't think you'll have to.

Come on, get started.

I'm going back to the beach

to wait for my grandfather.

- Don't come any closer!

- Are you out of your mind?

- Stay back!

- That's my gun! You can't take it!

Sorry, but I need it more than you.

My grandfather

will make it alright with you.

Wait. You keep his attention.

- I'll slip round behind him.

- I'll keep his attention!
