00:00Night means sleep. Why is this concept too much for those shrieking monkeys?
00:24Howlers. What?
00:26They're howler monkeys, not shrieking monkeys.
00:30Shut your mouths and go to sleep!
00:35You just have to know how to talk to them.
00:42That's it! Those monkeys are gone! History!
00:47How are you going to get rid of them, Zuto?
00:49I'm not.
00:50Tarzan is.
00:51Tarzan? You sure about that?
00:53Oh yeah. Tarzan will do whatever I say.
01:17Too bad I... win.
01:20Hey! Tarzan! Old pal! Long time no see!
01:26Cheater! I would have won if you hadn't...
01:29Whoa. Another hairless ape?
01:36So, you Tarzan's mate or what?
01:40Um, Tarzan, who is this?
01:43Jane, this is Zuto.
01:45Enchanté. Yeah, Vine Boy and me are old pals. Want to know how we met? It's a great story.
01:52It's not important.
01:55Whatever you say, T. Anywho, if you recall, youse and I have a... how should one put it? A business arrangement?
02:04Yes.
02:05Well, I've come to collect.
02:08Tarzan, what is all this about?
02:10I have to go with Zuto.
02:11But why?
02:13That would be telling. And we certainly don't want to do that. Now do we, Tarzan?
02:19No. We don't.
02:21Alrighty then, ape boy. Let's skedaddle.
02:30Hey, what's wrong? Bubby, this isn't the Perky Tarzan I know.
02:35Tarzan, get a load of this. Tanto was drinking and I made him laugh and all the water came shooting out of his...
02:41Zuto!
02:42Hello, Zuto.
02:44Hello, Tanto. Always a pleasure. And Turk, looking hairier than ever.
02:50I wish I could say the same for you, Zuto. Don't look now, but your mange is showing.
02:57Well, I'd love to rehash old times, but me and Dr. T have business. See ya. Wouldn't want to be ya.
03:05So, just who is this Zuto fellow? What's all the mystery about?
03:09Sorry, I've been sworn to secrecy.
03:11It's true. We can't talk about it.
03:13You won't get a peep out of us.
03:15Not. A. Peep.
03:17Very well, Tanto. I don't suppose it would change your mind if I said...
03:23Please.
03:25Keep your mouth shut.
03:27Pretty, please.
03:30I said, keep your mouth shut.
03:33Pretty, please, with peanuts on top.
03:37Those have destroyed the whole jungle.
03:40Web-mouth.
03:41Whatever are you talking about?
03:43Almost destroyed the whole jungle. Geez, blow it all out of proportion, why don't ya?
03:49Guess there's no hiding it now.
03:51This story goes back a long time.
03:55Way before Tarzan met you, when we were just kids.
04:02Hi, Mom.
04:04Hello, Tarzan. How was your day?
04:07Boring. There isn't anything to do around here.
04:12You busy?
04:13Not exactly.
04:15So, let's go down to the river.
04:17Mom, Turk and I are going down to the river.
04:19You know not to cross to the other side, right?
04:22Of course.
04:23Hey, do we look like the type to break a rule?
04:27I mean it.
04:28I mean it.
04:29I mean it.
04:30I mean it.
04:31I mean it.
04:32I mean it.
04:33I mean it.
04:34I mean it.
04:35I mean it.
04:36I mean it.
04:37I mean it.
04:38I mean it.
04:39I mean it.
04:40I mean it, Tarzan.
04:42It's very important that the family stay close together.
04:45I know.
04:46Promise?
04:47You got it, Mom.
05:07Well, what are you waiting for?
05:09Are you coming?
05:12It's not that simple.
05:14There are many factors to consider.
05:21Whoa, quit it!
05:24Come on already.
05:28Cold water is a terrible shock to the system.
05:32Whoa!
05:40It's actually quite invigorating.
05:42So, let's dunk the hairless wonder already.
05:53Run!
05:59Oh!
06:01I'm going to get you!
06:04I'm going to get you!
06:08Yeah!
06:15Get it off me! Get it off me!
06:17Hey, in case anyone forgot, I can't swim!
06:23Help!
06:25I'm coming, Turk!
06:28Help!
06:34I got you!
06:38Turk, are you all right?
06:41I'll live.
06:44Which is more than I can say for Tantor once I get my hands on him!
06:48So, this is the other side of the river.
06:51You thinking what I think you're thinking?
06:53We are already over here.
06:55Might as well look around a bit before we go back.
06:58Sure, no harm in looking.
07:00Oh, no! We're not even supposed to be here.
07:03Hey, it's your fault we're over here in the first place.
07:06But you go on home if you want.
07:08I will, right now!
07:10I'm no rule breaker.
07:12I'll just swim back across the river by myself.
07:17Go right ahead.
07:19Plunge in to the raging, bacteria-laden, snake-infested river.
07:26I guess there's no harm in sticking with you guys for a while.
07:30I don't know why Mom was so worked up.
07:32This doesn't seem so dangerous.
07:39Did you hear that?
07:40Wait, oh, I hear it.
07:42Yeah, it's the sound of you cracking up.
07:44It's no joke.
07:46With ears like this, you pick up things.
07:49With ears like this, you pick up things.
07:55Shh, I hear it.
07:57Sounds like...
08:06Oh, stop the story here.
08:09It's too harrowing.
08:12Um, Tantor, you did survive this experience.
08:18Oh, yes, I did.
08:21Please excuse my outburst.
08:23Carry on with your story, Turk.
08:25Right, let's see.
08:26We crossed the river, and we were investigating the far part of the jungle.
08:30And then someone attacked you?
08:32Exactly. Someone attacked us.
08:36No!
08:47Whoa!
09:03Marron, what hit us?
09:07I did.
09:10Why are you scaring my friends?
09:12Hey, it was just a prank.
09:14Yeah, did you have to drop a whole tree on us?
09:17How'd you do that, anyway?
09:19With my spear.
09:22Hmm.
09:24Spear.
09:27Uh-huh, uh-huh.
09:29Is that what you call this flying through the air, knocking branches on my head magic stick thingy?
09:33Um, yeah.
09:36Three words, my friend.
09:38Fee. Mom. Inel.
09:40Uh, Tarzan, I think we should go now.
09:44The pachyderm's right. Your mom is gonna be looking for us.
09:50Yeah, okay.
09:54Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where you going so fast there?
09:58You gotta tell me more about this spear. Where'd you get it?
10:01He made it.
10:02Yeah, Tarzan's clever.
10:04Hairless, but clever. Can we go now?
10:07Say, Tarzan, oh, buddy.
10:09Maybe I've been in the sun too long, but I don't suppose you could see fit to teach us how to make some of these spear doohickeys.
10:17Could you?
10:18Oh, no. We gotta go home.
10:23Tarzan. Nice long glove, by the way.
10:26Listen, us mandrills, we got poor tool skills.
10:30We barely make it in the jungle as is.
10:33I mean, really, look at Gozan and Ongo here.
10:37What?
10:38They need a spear to survive.
10:42But they're not gonna make a spear by themselves, Tarzan.
10:46Oh, no. Spears don't just drop out of the sky.
10:50They need your guidance.
10:52They need the Spearmaker.
10:56Well, okay.
10:58Pardon us while we discuss this in committee.
11:04Tarzan, have you cracked your melon?
11:07Relax, Turk. We'll have a little fun, make some spears, go home. Mom will never find out.
11:12This plan sounds questionable to me.
11:16Nah, Zutho seems okay. What's the worst that can happen?
11:21What exactly do you want me to do, Zutho?
11:24All good things in time, ape boy. All good things in time.
11:29Sheesh, it's a long hike home.
11:35Ow! Ow! Ow, my foot!
11:38I must have twisted something on this long, long, agonizingly long trip.
11:43Agony!
11:45You're lying.
11:48Uh, yeah, I am.
11:50You want me to carry you.
11:52Well, that was the general idea.
11:55And you know what?
11:57After all I've done for you, you know, keeping your big secret, you owe it to me.
12:06Traveling in style. Much better.
12:13So you stayed on the other side of the river with Zutho.
12:16Poor judgment, perhaps, but I don't see any great wrong in all of this.
12:20Well, that came when Tarzan started his spear-making lessons.
12:27Hey, Tarzan, how's this stick?
12:31Find a shorter one, Gozan.
12:33Okay, you're the big spear expert.
12:39Ongo, don't eat your spears. Start again.
12:43Whoa, slow down, Zutho.
12:46That's no way to make a spearhead.
12:48Hit the rock like this.
12:54Ooh, sparks.
13:02Do it again.
13:03Like this?
13:05Whoa!
13:08Like this?
13:10Whoa!
13:12Again, again.
13:16Faster, faster.
13:24Uh, Gozan, is this supposed to happen?
13:30Oh, no.
13:39Whoa!
13:41Oh, beautiful. Nice going, Tarzan.
13:45I didn't mean to start the fire.
13:47Uh, guys, point the fingers later. We got more pressing problems right now.
13:52Right.
13:56Ow!
13:58Oh, bad idea.
14:00We should tell Kala. She'll know what to do.
14:03No!
14:06Go on, go get some water.
14:20Let her go.
14:29Real effective.
14:31Watch out!
14:36I'm gonna say maybe it's time for a hasty retreat.
14:40I'm gonna say you're right.
14:53Oh.
15:06Ah!
15:21Oh, no.
15:35Fire! Fire!
15:42Fire!
15:44Run!
15:46Tarzan? Tarzan?
15:48Has anyone seen Tarzan?
16:05Tarzan!
16:36Tarzan! Tarzan! Tarzan!
16:47Oh, boy. That's what a family nested last night.
16:51Oh, man, this is all my fault.
16:53I don't hear anyone disagreeing with you, ape boy.
16:56You set the jungle on fire, and nothing is gonna save it now.
16:59The fire is gonna spread and spread and keep spreading until it's...
17:04Rains?
17:08Rains?
17:12Hey, it's raining!
17:15Hooray!
17:18Ah!
17:30Well, it's kind of a mess, but it'll all grow back.
17:34Well, it looks like you got lucky, kid.
17:36You almost ruined the whole jungle.
17:38You know what I think?
17:40I think you're a bad influence.
17:43I think I better tell your mother.
17:45No, don't!
17:47I don't know.
17:49Please, please, I'll do anything.
17:52All right, kid, but you owe me big.
17:55And someday, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, who knows?
17:59Maybe 20 years from now, I'm gonna collect.
18:03Tarzan? Tarzan, is that you?
18:09There you are.
18:11Oh, Mom.
18:16I was so worried about you.
18:19Where have you been? There was a fire.
18:22I know, Mother. I know.
18:30So after all these years, Zutho's finally asking Tarzan to repay the favor.
18:34In a word? Yep.
18:36Well, who knows what terrible things Zutho will make Tarzan do?
18:40Okey-doke.
18:42We got these screaming monkeys for neighbors, and I can't sleep a lick.
18:46To tell you the truth, it's making me pretty cranky.
18:49So, you're gonna chase them out.
18:53But I can't. This is their home.
18:56Hey, hey, hey, don't get all high and mighty with me, fire starter.
19:04Tarzan, stop! You don't have to do what Zutho says.
19:09Yes, I do.
19:11No, you have another choice.
19:14Just what would that be?
19:17Tarzan can do exactly what he should have done all those years ago.
19:21So you went to the other side of the river?
19:23Yes.
19:24And you started the fire?
19:26Yes.
19:28This is gonna be good.
19:31But you didn't tell me.
19:32No.
19:34Well, now you have.
19:37You're not mad?
19:38Well, I'm a bit disappointed, but thankfully no one was hurt.
19:44And that was so many years ago.
19:47I'm just glad you finally told me.
19:50Better late than never. Right, Auntie Kay?
19:53Right, Turk.
19:54What? No yelling? No spanking? What kind of child-rearing is this?
20:00You, on the other hand. I want to have some words with you, Mr. Zutho.
20:05See ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya.
20:07Let me explain.
20:08There's no explaining such miserable behavior. Does your mother know you act like this?
20:14Please don't tell her.
