The Golden Voyage of Sinbad Page #3

Lemuria.

Lemuria?

Aye, a mythical island. Mariners have been

searching for it for centuries.

[ Rachid ] They say it is all that is left of a

once-mighty continent, now sunk beneath the waves,

a place of untold dangers and death.

One who fears the unknown will one day

take fright in his own backside.

Well, there you have it.

We seek Lemuria.

We wager our skill against death.

And for rich reward.

Find this island and a handsome prize

awaits every man.

- Are you with me?

- Aye!

To Lemuria!

- And a bounty to boot!

- [ All ] Aye!

- [ Men Cheering ]

- Even if it be into the jaws of hell itself!

We cannot be bought, Captain.

Only with money.

Be warned. We can afford no laggards.

Every man must carry

his own weight and more.

[ Haroun ] There's water down there.

There's water everywhere.

We're at sea.

This boy's a genius.

[ Groans ]

I remember my father's shop,

my father coming up...

Father! This was his idea wasn't it?

Quick run round the harbor to sober up-

Clear the cobwebs away.

All right. Sea breeze is beautiful.

Cobwebs are all gone. Now we can go home.

Sorry. We're on course.

You're with us all the way.

All the way?

Oh, well. Things could be worse.

A couple of days

away from home isn't too bad.

A couple of weeks?

A month?

More than a month?

Oh, two, three years, perhaps.

Two or three years!

I'll be an old man by then! Ancient!

Show me to my cabin so I can lie down.

No cabin. No lying down.

Bunk with the men.

You want to eat? You work.

Work. Work?

This is terrible!

Haroun!

You pace like a caged beast.

For one who enjoys the hashish,

you should be more at peace.

- I'll put you on watch.

- On watch?

All you have to do is

sit and keep a sharp look out.

Sit down and look. Fine!

Haroun.

Up there.

That's where you sit.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh. I forget I have company.

Your pardon.

No, no, no.

I am the one who bows.

You are my guest.

- But I am your slave.

- Slave? Up, up.

You own me now.

Own you?

No human being has the right

to own another.

You're free now.

You belong to no one but yourself.

On this ship,

you are at no one's beck and call.

You understand that?

Right. I go to change.

Fetch me a drink!

Please.

- You will be sleeping in here?

- Of course.

[ Rachid ] Captain Sinbad!

Sinbad!

Aye.

Haroun saw a light on the horizon.

Over there.

- A ship.

- Following us?

- Stay on this course.

- Aye.

If she's still with us at daybreak, we know.

[ Vizier ] It is Koura.

Ah, yes.

I should come about, stand off and sink him.

If he does not sink us first.

Sinbad has sent more pirates to the bottom

of the sea than I can count.

There is much at stake.

We have the lead. We must maintain it.
