00:00:00Would there be a forest and a street?
00:00:06Yes I would
00:00:10If I only could
00:00:14I surely would
00:00:19I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
00:00:26Yes I would
00:00:30If I only could
00:00:34I surely would
00:00:43Away, I'd rather sail away
00:00:49Like a swan that's here and gone
00:00:56A man gets tied up to the ground
00:01:02Gives the world its saddest sound
00:01:08Its saddest sound
00:01:16I'd rather be a forest than a street
00:01:22Yes I would
00:01:25If I could
00:01:28I surely would
00:01:32I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
00:01:38Yes I would
00:01:41If I only could
00:01:45I surely would
00:01:47Hey, Squish!
00:01:51How's it going, baby?
00:01:54You make it?
00:01:55Yeah, you gotta make it while you can
00:02:16Hi, Mom
00:02:17Hi, baby
00:02:18Steaks, Delmonico's
00:02:20Great, let me put them on for you
00:02:21Oh, that's okay, glad I could
00:02:22Hi, family
00:02:26Been a long time, huh?
00:02:28Not long enough
00:02:29Well, pretty, where you been?
00:02:33Well, Opal, I've just been out trying to improve my situation
00:02:40Look like you've been doing the same thing
00:02:42You know, getting widowed didn't hurt you none at all
00:02:44Now hold that
00:02:45Roy's dying still hurts me plenty
00:02:47Oh, Opal, I was trying to...
00:02:49What you're doing is dying incorrectly, mister
00:02:57Put on a few years there, didn't you, Squish?
00:02:59Yeah, that's the thing
00:03:01Squish, would $200 a week be of any interest to you?
00:03:06Pushing hard stuff
00:03:08Buys a lot of pretty new things
00:03:50Ahoy!
00:03:51Ahoy, yourself!
00:03:52How far'd you sail?
00:03:53Almost to Catalina
00:03:54Well, how'd Mother Hubbard do?
00:03:56Beautiful, I sailed the whole day flat on my back reading a book
00:03:59You must have that vein pretty well balanced
00:04:01Dad, even running downwind she kept the boat dead on
00:04:04I could have taken a race sitting on the head
00:04:07That sounds like you're ready
00:04:09It's like an automatic pilot, you should have seen it
00:04:12Okay, let's eat
00:04:13Okay
00:04:17Uh...
00:04:23Squish?
00:04:26Um, leave a little blood in my steak
00:04:30We're having spaghetti
00:04:35Ain't I family?
00:04:37You were before Pop went to the NARM
00:04:40But he ain't coming back
00:04:43You are no longer in no way family
00:04:46But he was my brother, Squish
00:04:48Orlando, my name is Orlando B. Parker, got it?
00:04:52Ooh, ain't you the one, Mr. Parker?
00:04:59Did Tom call?
00:05:01Yeah
00:05:04Can't go
00:05:06Well, did you tell Tom's parents that Cal navigated us all the way back from Tahiti?
00:05:10I did
00:05:12I think this coast would be loaded with kids just dying to sail to Hawaii
00:05:16And with parents who would just love to get rid of them for four weeks
00:05:20Cal, time's passing
00:05:21I mean, if you're accepted into Stanford, you have to be there no later than the 7th of September
00:05:25No ifs, ands
00:05:26I know
00:05:27Aggie, he can leave as late as the 1st of August and still get there in time
00:05:31Or leaves you weak, honey
00:05:34Okay
00:05:39I got some sweets for my new source
00:05:42You want one?
00:05:46You know, going to school's made you a real healthy lad, hasn't it?
00:05:52Orlando B. Parker
00:05:56Only black kid in Chicago that writes Dear Abby
00:06:02How many five-year-olds did you turn on today, candy man?
00:06:13Orlando B. Parker, you get them steaks
00:06:17And get them going
00:06:19So we can have a nice, compatible family evening
00:06:25If you're so lonely, why don't you just go rent a friend?
00:06:30How's this dinner coming in here?
00:06:32Just fine if you could get all ugly out of my way
00:06:35Come on, pretty pusher, you come around once a year to interfere, why don't you come on out later?
00:06:41You know, someday somebody's going to punch you out
00:06:44You're the closest
00:06:46Squish
00:06:50Cal, I do want you to go
00:06:52Even if I can't find anyone?
00:06:54He doesn't actually need anyone with that self-stirring vein
00:06:57What about Dick Stanwood?
00:06:59Mr. Yacht Club?
00:07:01Well, honey, he pooed for his father on the Ensenada race
00:07:04I bet he'd go
00:07:06If you'd make him feel useful
00:07:09What do you mean?
00:07:11I mean you've been asking all your friends to go like so much cargo and dead weight
00:07:17Cal, I've talked to some of the mothers
00:07:19I mean, you've asked 12 boys not to go
00:07:22Honey, you're just going to have to get off this tack
00:07:24And decide whether you want to go at all
00:07:26Dick Stanwood, Cal
00:07:29I'll talk to his dad
00:07:35If you guys are going to howl and fuss, I'm going to the pizza parlor
00:07:38Things are going on, old folks
00:07:40Ain't they?
00:07:50I'm through playing uncle, sweetheart
00:07:54What you need is a good sticky boy
00:07:57Do it
00:07:59Are you guys going to stop or do I...
00:08:01Go ahead, hon, do it
00:08:04I'm coming in
00:08:20Captain Markwell, I presume
00:08:37I thought you said you were breaking some of your gear, Stanwood
00:08:39Ready to hate me?
00:08:41The space opened up for me on a chartered flight to Athens
00:08:45What do you mean?
00:08:47Ten guys, 93 chicks
00:08:49Would you pass that up?
00:08:51Where am I going to find someone by tomorrow?
00:08:53You'd rather go alone anyway
00:08:55Isn't that what you told me?
00:09:17Yeah, I can drop you off up at the freeway
00:09:42That's better than just standing
00:09:56Where are you headed?
00:09:58Anywhere
00:10:01Anywhere but east
00:10:07You ever done any sailing?
00:10:09Yeah
00:10:11How'd you like to sail to Hawaii?
00:10:25What's it cost?
00:10:27Nothing, it's my boat
00:10:30Even nothing costs something
00:10:32My mom, she won't let me go unless I take someone, it's a small boat
00:10:40Hawaii's over there, huh?
00:10:43Yeah, about 2300 miles

00:12:20Get out of here
00:12:39Let's go
00:12:41Hey, fellas
00:13:08Hawaii
00:13:10Hawaii
00:13:16I sure hope we know what we're doing
00:13:21Cal could sail around the world and I wouldn't lose one hour's sleep
00:13:25He's top cloth, Aggie
00:13:27He knows everything I know
00:13:28Maybe more
00:13:30I just wish we knew more about that Orlando Jones
00:13:35I thought Cal gave us a pretty good profile on him
00:13:38Classmate in lab science, played football together
00:13:40They all look alike to me
00:13:42He didn't even get a chance to meet his parents
00:13:47I don't remember you actually saying that you wanted to meet his parents
00:14:17I don't remember you actually saying that you wanted to meet his parents
00:14:48Hey, you look better
00:14:49You got your color back
00:14:53I...
00:14:54Yeah
00:14:55If I was wet, I'd have been green yesterday
00:15:18And what's that all about?
00:15:22Oh, this is a sextant
00:15:25It measures the altitude of the sun above the horizon
00:15:28And when you put that together with the time and these nautical tables...
00:15:32That's where you're at
00:15:34Right
00:15:36I'd like to try some of that, Captain
00:15:39Sure
00:15:41When we get to some smoother water
00:15:44We still have a couple of thousand miles to go
00:15:54Man, have I got the hungries
00:16:13Those look beautiful
00:16:17Do you want to sail the boat?
00:16:19Yeah
00:16:21Do you think you can handle it?
00:16:22Oh, sure
00:16:30Okay, listen
00:16:31Keep the compass on that mark and keep the sails full
00:16:34Aye, Captain
00:16:43Aye, Captain
00:17:02Terrific
00:17:14We're 16 miles off course
00:17:19It's going to take half the night to get back on
00:17:25What, are you going into the paratroopers?
00:17:30It keeps me attached in case I take a header over the side
00:17:33I wouldn't be able to swim fast enough
00:17:35And you don't know how to turn this boat around in the wind
00:17:38Okay, if I take a peek through the sextant?
00:17:41No
00:17:45It's too rough
00:17:49I sure wouldn't want anything to happen to you
00:17:52You're the only one who knows where we're at
00:18:09August 2nd
00:18:21Well, folks, August 2nd
00:18:23Orlando
00:18:25We went a little off course thanks to Mother Hubbard
00:18:27But we're on the right track now, zinging along
00:18:30We ate the rest of that chicken, Mom
00:18:32It's great stuff
00:18:34I'll talk to you tomorrow
00:18:38Good night
00:19:08Good night
00:19:39August 2nd
00:20:00Hey, we're halfway there
00:20:03Not quite. A third, maybe
00:20:08How about breakfast?
00:20:20You know, this would be a good day to get you into that sextant
00:20:23Maybe some more sailing
00:20:25If you're interested
00:20:27Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm interested
00:20:39Cockroach!
00:20:43We gotta keep a cleaner kitchen, mate
00:20:46It is clean
00:20:48I can't afford to get sick out here
00:20:50You can
00:20:52Hey, don't throw the whole package away. That's good cereal. He wasn't in there
00:20:55Well, you eat it. Maybe you're used to those things. They gross me out
00:21:08I'll get it
00:21:39Mmm
00:22:02Easy fix
00:22:04You're not ready for that yet. Let's have it
00:22:07I'm ready
00:22:16I'm ready
00:22:21You just don't dig me, do you, Whitey?
00:22:24I'm not prejudiced
00:22:26Got any more jokes?
00:22:29Okay, so you didn't get an equal opportunity. I know that
00:22:33Yeah, yeah, that's a fact
00:22:35I didn't get an equal opportunity both neither
00:22:38You know something? I got the same amount of eyes as you. Count them, two each
00:22:41And my brain is the same size as yours. Look, five fingers on each hand
00:22:44Hey, will you get off that stuff? I know we're equal
00:22:47You know how to say it, but you don't know how to believe it
00:22:50I don't care! I don't care about blacks or whites
00:22:53I don't give a damn about you either way. Did you ever think of that?
00:23:05I don't know
00:23:35Is that Flipper or one of them bad guys?
00:23:38It's a blue, a bad guy. He's one of the dumbest sharks in the ocean
00:23:42He's just looking for a handout. We're near the shipping lanes
00:23:45Those blue buggers tail along behind the big ships looking for garbage
00:23:49They'll gobble up anything that makes a splash. Anything
00:23:56I don't know what to do
00:23:58I don't know what to do
00:24:00I don't know what to do
00:24:03I don't know what to do
00:24:17Averaging almost 100 miles a day. Only 900 to go
00:24:21Hey, Ma, I'm getting used to your training bra
00:24:25I can see where it'd be a comfort on longer solo trips
00:24:29Well, that's about all. August 15th
00:24:33Good ship, Wally Pop
00:24:59August 15th
00:25:11Hey, what happened?
00:25:13Look out!
00:25:28Look out!
00:25:58Get the rifle. Here
00:26:28Look out!
00:26:59You all right?
00:27:10You ever see anything try to shoot through aluminum?
00:27:20Hey, man, that was the bravest thing I ever seen, you jumping in air
00:27:24Thanks, Orly
00:27:29I was only thinking about Mother Hubbard
00:27:34I need to sail around the world
00:27:38Nothing's gonna stop me
00:27:58Come on
00:28:07Wait. Hold it. Tie it off
00:28:19What's wrong?
00:28:21I crossed up the sea gods. I didn't have a coin under the mast. That's why we got hit
00:28:25Are you jiving me?
00:28:27Anyone that does not heed that tradition gets lunched. We gotta put a coin under the mast
00:28:37Oh, no. Hey, that's your lucky silver dollar
00:28:45Let's get the damn mast up
00:28:49Captain
00:28:52Okay
00:28:54All right, that's good
00:28:58Anyway, we got the mast up again
00:29:00I wouldn't trust it sailing into the wind
00:29:02But it'll do until we get to Hawaii
00:29:04I hope
00:29:07We still have half of our food and a third of our water
00:29:10So we're having a mast-raising banquet
00:29:13Out
00:29:22Wally
00:29:30Wanna hit Mother Hubbard?
00:29:34Don't give me no jive preaching straight, lady
00:29:37We old enough to get drafted and shafted
00:29:39We old enough to get loose on the juice
00:29:43Smells edible there, my man
00:29:45What you got cooking?
00:29:47Oh, it's your favorite, baby
00:29:50Home-fried Kentucky-style hockey pucks
00:29:55Well, Bobby Hull can eat them. I can, too
00:30:01Who are you writing to?
00:30:03I'm writing to my wife
00:30:05She's got a baby
00:30:07She's got a baby
00:30:10Who are you writing to?
00:30:12You'll laugh
00:30:14No, I won't
00:30:17Dear Abby
00:30:19The love-born lady?
00:30:21In the newspaper?
00:30:25Now, see there, man, you promised
00:30:28Did she solve any of your problems?
00:30:33No
00:30:35What's your problem now?
00:30:38I'll tell you about it
00:30:43Someday
00:30:46Well, you'd have to know more about her, Mr. Markwell
00:30:49Well, I wish I knew more, Lieutenant
00:30:51I wish I didn't have to bother you at all
00:30:54My wife wanted to take Orlando's mother to lunch
00:30:57But she couldn't find her, so she got scared
00:30:59Well, you know how mothers are
00:31:01You say she checked all the school districts in the Los Angeles area?
00:31:05Yeah, right
00:31:07And when she found out there was no Orlando B. Jones in my son's school
00:31:10She got pretty frantic
00:31:14Well, we'll check him out as far as we can without fingerprints
00:31:17But if you think of anything that would indicate where he comes from
00:31:21It certainly would help
00:31:23Right
00:31:26Lieutenant, that jersey number
00:31:29I think that count said that's Gail Sayers' number
00:31:34Chicago Bears, huh?
00:31:55Let's go
00:32:14We gotta secure everything in here early
00:32:22How do we secure us?
00:32:25I don't know
00:32:31We're in for a little weather, that's all
00:32:33Nothing to worry about
00:32:35I've been in worse stuff
00:32:37Besides, the sea gods are on our side
00:32:39Perfect
00:32:45If not, the silver dollar will be cheerfully refunded
00:32:55Come on
00:33:26Orlando!
00:33:28Hey, take this!
00:33:29Okay, I got it
00:33:35Hold the hatch!
00:33:56Stay down! Get below!

00:36:43That's it, that's it
00:36:45We're gonna make it
00:36:49Come on, Gail
00:36:51Come on
00:36:55Come on
00:37:26How does this thing SOS, Johnny?
00:37:32This is the Ed Jeffords Show, PBX, Hawaii
00:37:36Hey, you hear that, Callie? Hawaii calls
00:37:39We're almost there
00:37:41Yes, sir, a windy, wet night in sunny Honolulu
00:37:43But we've been assured that this storm will be done by breakfast
00:37:46So don't cancel your plans to go to the beach tomorrow
00:37:49I won't

00:38:34We'll be here again
00:38:55Wake up, buttercup

00:39:20Are we on course?
00:39:23Are we on course?
00:39:25Of course
00:39:31Hey, hey, take it easy, Captain
00:39:33Nine out of ten doctors recommend staying in bed when concussion strikes
00:39:38Concussion?
00:39:39Yeah, you've been bagging Z's about a ton
00:39:43We must be almost a day or so from Hawaii
00:39:47Yeah, right
00:39:53Mr. and Mrs. Marquois, this is Orlando
00:39:56You've probably figured why I've done what I've done
00:40:00And...
00:40:03Mr. and Mrs. Marquois, this is Orlando
00:40:06You've probably figured why I've done what I've done
00:40:10And...
00:40:20If Stanford doesn't take me, I'm where I belong
00:40:23I want to keep on going
00:40:25Orly's okay, but he'll get off at Hawaii
00:40:29I'm a loner, I guess
00:40:31Deep down, I guess I think I'm better, or different, anyway
00:40:36Funny, you have a lot of time to think about differences out here
00:40:40All I want to do is sail around the world, alone
00:40:59Hey, how we doing?
00:41:19Peachy
00:41:24Oh, wow
00:41:28I've had so much sleep, my eyes are gonna throw up
00:41:37I already figured our position
00:41:58You've been hijacked, Capitan
00:42:05Who the hell do you think you are?
00:42:07Don't you know we're in a different current now?
00:42:10Our mast doesn't sail into a headwind
00:42:12So we sail south, you stupid coon
00:42:15You know how far it is to the next grocery store?
00:42:20Well, I don't rightly know, Master Cal
00:42:24I think it's near about 900 miles
00:42:27As the coon swims
00:42:29I'm talking to an animal
00:42:31Fanning Island's a thousand miles, ten days
00:42:34If the wind holds
00:42:37Radio in Honolulu had messages for us
00:42:40You've been accepted at Stanford, honky
00:42:43Congratulations
00:42:46So maybe Captain Midnight here done you a favor
00:42:49My folks won't trust me out in the rain after this
00:42:51To miss the landfall is bigger
00:42:53So I have to be the dumbest sailor in the world
00:42:55To err is human
00:42:57Here, maybe you'll feel better
00:42:59After you get into your security blanket
00:43:11That one's free, Captain
00:43:14No charge
00:43:16Why'd you change our course?
00:43:22Radio in Honolulu had a message for me, too
00:43:25From the police
00:43:27What'd they want you for?
00:43:30Murder
00:43:33I killed my uncle
00:43:36Think
00:43:38It figures
00:43:41That's a fact
00:43:51You've been fishing for two days
00:44:20Exactly how many fish have you caught?
00:44:22What time is it?
00:44:24It's about four o'clock
00:44:26Four o'clock?
00:44:27Exactly now
00:44:33Oh, this is the freeze-dried food we were counting on
00:44:36Water got to it in the storm
00:44:44All of it?
00:44:46All of it
00:44:50All of it
00:45:09August 24th
00:45:12The freeze has fallen off
00:45:14It's too late for Mother Hubbard
00:45:17There's no fish yet
00:45:21I'd even settle for Stanford right now
00:45:48Great, there goes half our water
00:45:56Hey, man, why don't you take that thing and just stuff it?
00:45:59It saved my life, and maybe yours
00:46:02No, no, I say it just stinkin' like
00:46:04Yeah, you were floatin' dead out
00:46:06I dragged you in, wrapped these fat black lips around your lily-white cheeks
00:46:10And now you're in the water
00:46:12You were floatin' dead out
00:46:13I dragged you in, wrapped these fat black lips around your lily-white cheeks
00:46:17And breathed you back
00:46:19Call yourself a loner
00:46:21Man, I've been a loner all my life, in the middle of nowhere
00:46:24With nothin' and nobody helpin'
00:46:26Man, this thing's strung clear back to your mommy
00:46:34Your hair just shot, honky
00:46:42Come on
00:47:06O'Reilly
00:47:13I'm sorry
00:47:15Is that a fact?
00:47:20That's a fact
00:47:43The wind'll pick up pretty soon, won't it?
00:47:46We're headin' for the equator
00:47:48Some of these calm spots go on for days
00:48:12Come on
00:48:43I knew we forgot something
00:48:46What's that?
00:48:47Water skis
00:49:12You don't happen to belong to the auto club, do ya?
00:49:15Is that it?
00:49:17Yep
00:49:21Dear Abby
00:49:25Ask her for some wind, will ya?
00:49:36You know, I just don't believe you killed anyone
00:49:40Not on purpose, anyway
00:49:51You couldn't even kill the cockroach
00:50:00Hello, cockroach, my old friend
00:50:06You've come to gross me out again
00:50:15And I know
00:50:21I don't want you around no more
00:51:05I don't want you around no more
00:51:29Right, there's no cause for alarm yet
00:51:31But if you could inquire on your teletype
00:51:34One of your island stations might know something
00:51:38Well, they don't have a two-way radio
00:51:40They have a Gibson girl
00:51:44They're about four days overdue
00:51:46Seven
00:51:48And with that heavy weather, they might have blown south
00:51:53Thanks
00:51:54Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you
00:51:57Good night
00:52:01Well, that was strictly for your benefit, dear
00:52:03Because I am not worried
00:52:06You're not worried
00:52:08Just me and your lieutenant friend
00:52:12Well, he's not worried
00:52:15Well, we found out something about that colored boy
00:52:19Well, we found out that the knifing was an accident
00:52:21Well, then why did they want him back in Chicago?
00:52:24Well, it's just routine paperwork to clear up the matter
00:52:32But the good Lord ever gets our boy to Hawaii
00:52:37We're selling that damn boat
00:52:40Honey, calm down
00:52:42The big storm, he'll be two or three days getting back on course
00:52:45And nobody's heard any S.O.S.'s
00:52:48How far does that thing stand by the beach?
00:52:50About a mile
00:52:52I'm afraid it's just a little bit far
00:52:54Let's go
00:52:56Come on
00:52:57I know
00:52:58I'm sorry

00:53:13I'm sorry
00:53:14I'm sorry
00:53:15I'm sorry

00:53:20A hundred miles during the day, over a thousand at night.
00:53:47Get the gas in the line.
00:53:58Spoiled food. I was saving it for guests.
00:54:02Looks like we got one.

00:55:08Hey, get off!
00:55:10Get off me!
00:55:11If I miss him with the first strike, he may bite all the way through your leg.
00:55:17He may open his mouth.
00:55:18You put your leg out.
00:55:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:01:47I just...
01:01:54Yeah, I wouldn't kill anybody.
01:02:00Wake up, Orly. Wake up.
01:02:02Where's the Gibson, Orly?
01:02:05Hey, man, you don't need any help.
01:02:07You're playing with gangrene, Orly.
01:02:21Where's the Gibson, Orly?
01:02:25I threw it overboard.
01:02:27When?
01:02:28When you were asleep.
01:02:30You stupid...
01:02:37Cal, do you think I'm gonna die?
01:02:42No, no such luck.
01:02:45Listen, if I don't make it,
01:02:47you gotta promise you'll keep going.
01:02:50All the way.
01:02:51You keep talking like that,
01:02:54I don't give a damn what happens to you.
01:02:57Ruined the trip, wouldn't it?
01:03:08I'd rather be a forest than a stream
01:03:18I'd rather be a forest than a stream
01:03:28I'd rather be a stream than a stream
01:03:35I'd rather be a stream than a stream
01:03:57I'm getting more pills.
01:03:59Sorry.
01:04:02You gotta go all the way, Callie.
01:04:05Around the whole world.
01:04:07Easy.
01:04:10Look at me.
01:04:13You better hang in.
01:04:31You better hang in.
01:05:01How long have you been adrift?
01:05:27Adrift?
01:05:28I'm under sail to Fanning Island.
01:05:30Well, then, you made it.
01:05:33Fanning is right there.
01:05:39Fancy that.
01:05:41It's a colored boy in here.
01:05:42Unconscious.
01:05:43Something's wrong with his leg.
01:05:45It's gangrene.
01:05:46Shark bite.
01:05:48Mike!
01:05:49Well, get your boat to the hospital on Fanning.
01:05:52Just get him there.
01:05:54I'll sail in.
01:05:55You sure you'll be all right?
01:05:59Do you know if I can get a mast on Fanning?
01:06:02No, it's not very likely.
01:06:04It's a copper plantation.
01:06:06But Christmas Island, about a day south of here,
01:06:09should have a mast for you, I think.
01:06:20Here's something to rinse your teeth with.
01:06:34Cast off.
01:06:41We'll see you on the island.
01:07:10I'll see you on the island.
01:07:39No, Orleans.
01:07:55The operator has Christmas Island for you.
01:08:00Hello?
01:08:01Is Calvin Markwell there?
01:08:03Yeah, an American kid with a sloop called the Guess.
01:08:07Yeah, that's right.
01:08:08He tried to call me a couple of days ago,
01:08:10but I couldn't talk.
01:08:13Oh.
01:08:17Okay.
01:08:19Thanks.
01:08:21He was not there?
01:08:23No, he sailed southwest yesterday.
01:08:28There's Samoa.
01:08:44Way to go, Callie.
01:08:50Are these yours?
01:08:56Hey, where'd you get...
01:08:57They were just given to me.
01:09:03You thought it was your friend?
01:09:06No, I couldn't be.
01:09:08But it is.
01:09:10Hey, Captain Quig.
01:09:12Captain Midnight.
01:09:13Why, your mouth's as big as a blue shark.
01:09:15I heard you were sailing south.
01:09:17No, the wind switched.
01:09:19No, the wind's out of the north, Chalky.
01:09:21Hey, I talked to my folks.
01:09:23I'll bet they flipped.
01:09:24Ready for a good laugh?
01:09:26They told me that another kid was sailing around the world
01:09:29in a sloop just like mine.
01:09:31Alone.
01:09:33So you got competition?
01:09:34Yeah.
01:09:35It's not that big to me anymore.
01:09:37Hey, who are you kidding, man?
01:09:38A yes has got to go all the way.
01:09:40I'm going to go all the way.
01:09:42Well, you better.
01:09:44Or I'll get Mr. Gross to eat you alive.
01:09:47My folks said that Lieutenant Matthews
01:09:49checked into your accident.
01:09:53Yeah?
01:09:55That's what the police called it.
01:09:58An accident.
01:10:01You still have to go back, though,
01:10:03so they can close up the case.
01:10:06But Lieutenant Matthews said that everything's going to be all right.
01:10:11Anything you say, General Custer.
01:10:13Hey, how'd you talk your folks into letting you go on?
01:10:16Oh, I had a very persuasive argument.
01:10:18I told them I was going on.
01:10:20Your dad cabled me some money, and Mom's counting her beads.
01:10:27Still writing her?
01:10:29Oh, yeah.
01:10:32Would you mail it for me?
01:10:34Oh, yeah.
01:10:35I'm picking up a guy in Australia.
01:10:38Yeah?
01:10:40Yeah, he's meeting me there in a couple of months.
01:10:44Yeah.
01:10:49Here's his airline ticket.
01:10:55No, Cal, you gotta go alone.
01:10:57We can prove something.
01:10:59That's something I already know.
01:11:02Maybe the other kid doesn't know he can.
01:11:07You and I, we can prove something else.
01:11:11About a couple of guys that are...
01:11:16Different.
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:20So, get off your butt and go to Chicago and meet me in Australia.
01:11:25Or I'll kick you in the leg.
01:11:31Will you?
01:11:42Okay, I'll write you.
01:12:00Are you sure he'll be all right?
01:12:02I'll give you some cream for that burn.
01:12:05Clay's a friend of yours, is he?
01:12:07No.
01:12:10He's my brother.
01:12:12I see.
01:12:14Yes, well, he's coming along nicely.
01:12:17Okay, thanks for everything.
01:12:19I only wish we could have saved all of him.
01:12:22All of him?
01:12:24Didn't anyone tell you?
01:12:26The leg was totally necrotic.
01:12:28A bacterial gangrene.
01:12:33Mr. Markwell.
01:12:35Apparently...
01:12:37He didn't want you to know.
01:12:43Quite a lad, that one.
01:12:48That's a fact.
01:13:09Dear Abby, we made it.
01:13:12And without your advice.
01:13:15My friend and I had this little problem of no food, no water, no wind, nothing.
01:13:20Out in the big empty.
01:13:23But we learned something you can tell your sob sister readers.
01:13:27When you start quitting, the dying begins.
01:13:30Quitting is very bad for your health.
01:13:33And that's a fact.
01:13:36Sincerely, Orlando B. Parker.
01:13:39Oh, P.S.
01:13:41The reason why I write you, Abby, is kind of embarrassing.
01:13:45You see, this shark got me pregnant.
01:13:48Now, should I tell my parents or just try another pill?
01:13:57Away.
01:14:00I'd rather sail away.
01:14:06Like a swan.
01:14:09That's here and gone.
01:14:13A man.
01:14:16Gets tied up to the ground.
01:14:22Gives the world.
01:14:25Its saddest sound.
01:14:29Its saddest sound.
01:14:34I'd rather be a forest than a tree.
01:14:41Yes, I would.
01:14:45If I only could.
01:14:49I surely would.
01:14:54I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet.
01:15:01Yes, I would.
01:15:05If I only could.
01:15:09I surely would.
