OUCH!
EXCUSE ME, MASTER TOM.
I DIDN'T MEAN

THEN WHEN THE DEVIL COMES
TO TAKE THAT FELLA AWAY,
WHY, YOU HEAVE

"CAT, FOLLOW DEVIL,

I'M DONE WITH YOU."
THAT'LL CURE ANY WART.
WHEN ARE YOU

WELL, THEY'RE BURYING
OLD HORSE WILLIAMS TODAY.
I RECKON THE DEVIL

TOM!
WHAT'S THE MATTER

HE TALKED SO MUCH
IN HIS SLEEP,
HE KEPT ME AWAKE ABOUT HALF THE NIGHT.
WHAT YOU GO ON YOUR MIND, TOM?

I'M COOKIN' SUPPER!
WHAT AILS YOU?
NOTHIN' I KNOW OF!
I KNOW
WHAT'LL CURE IT.
PAINKILLER?
PAINKILLER-A DOUBLE DOSE,
AND RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU DID TALK
SUCH STUFF IN YOUR SLEEP.
YOU SAID,
"BLOOD, BLOOD."
YOU SAID THA OVER AND OVER.
AND YOU SAID,

DON'T ASK FOR IT,
PETER,
UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT IT.
YOU BETTER MAKE SURE.
WELL, ALL RIGHT.
BUT IF YOU FIND
YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
YOU MUSTN'T BLAME ANYBODY
BUT YOUR OWN SELF.
OH!
TOM?
WHAT ON EARTH
AILS THAT CAT?
I DON'T KNOW,
AUNT POLLY.
I NEVER SEE ANYTHING
LIKE IT.
WHAT DID MAKE HIM
ACT SO?
CATS ALWAYS ACT SO
WHEN THEY'RE
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
OH, THEY DO, DO THEY?
DID YOU GIVE THAT CA SOME PAINKILLER?
LOOK ME IN THE EYE.
HMM!
OH!
NOW, SIR, WHAT YOU WANT TO
TREAT THAT CAT SO CRUEL FOR?
I DONE IT OUT OF PITY
FOR HIM
'CAUSE HE HADN' ANY AUNT.
HADN'T ANY AUNT,
YOU NUMBSKULL!
WHAT'S THA GOT TO DO WITH IT?
BECAUSE IF HE'D HAD ONE,
SHE'D HAVE ROASTED
THE INNARDS OUT OF HIM
WITHOUT ANY MORE FEELING
THAN IF HE WAS A HUMAN.
TOM, YOU MUSTN'T BE
CRUEL TO DUMB BEASTS.
WHAT'S CRUEL
TO A DUMB BEAS MIGHT BE CRUEL
TO A HUMAN, TOO, AUNT POLLY.
BUT, TOM,
IT DID DO YOU GOOD.
DONE HIM GOOD, TOO.
I NEVER SEE HIM
GET ALONG SO BEFORE.
OH, GO ALONG WITH YOU
BEFORE YOU
AGGRAVATE ME AGAIN.
OW.
YOU DON'T WHACK SID
WHEN HE TAKES SUGAR.
WELL, SID DON'T TORMEN A BODY THE WAY YOU DO.
OH!

DON'T PUNISH TOM,
AUNT POLLY!
IT WAS SID
BROKE IT.
WELL, YOU DIDN'T GE A LICK AMISS, I RECKON.

OTHER AUDACIOUS MISCHIEF.
OH!
AIN'T YOU GOIN'
TO THE CHURCH SOCIAL?
MMM... CHURCH SOCIAL!
THIS HERE'S CHOCK FULL
OF POTATO SALAD
AND A GREAT,
BIG CHOCOLATE CAKE
AND PICKLES.
IF I WAS
TO DROWN MYSELF
THEN THEY'D BE SORRY.
BEN ROGERS
IS GONNA BRING
A WHOLE LO OF FISHIN' WORMS
TO PUT DOWN
GIRLS' NECKS.
THEY'D SEE MY BODY
LAYIN' THERE ALL WET AND STIFF,
THEN THEY'D DRESS UP
AND CRY SOME.
MY MA WAS GONNA WHACK ME
IF I DIDN'T PU THESE SHOES ON.
TREAT YOU LIKE A DOG.
LIKE A OLD CUR DIG.
SHOES!
ANYBODY'D THINK THERE
WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND.
BURNIN' YOU OU WITH PAINKILLER.
SQUEEZIN' YOUR FEET.
ENOUGH TO MAKE
ANYBODY RUN AWAY.
I'D JUST AS SOON.
HUH?
WE WOULD NEVER
WEAR SHOES.
WE COULD GO
A THOUSAND MILES AWAY.
WE COULD GO
ALL OVER THE WORLD!
WE CAN GET HUCK FINN
TO GO WITH US!
WE CAN USE
HUCK'S RAFT!
I'M CAPTAIN MURRELL,
THE ONE-EYED TERROR
OF THE MISSISSIPPI,
AND IF YOU DON'T DIG
FOR TREASURE,
THAT'S COMMITTIN'
MUTINY.
AW, I'VE WALKED THE PLANK
10 TIMES ALREADY.
I'M SICK
OF COMMITTIN' MUTINY.
YOU'RE A FINE OLD SLODGE
OF A PIRATE, YOU ARE.
YOU'RE A DISGRACE.
THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU
LET ME BE A HERMI LIKE I WANTED TO BE?
ALL RIGHT, THEN,
YOU'RE A HERMIT.
HEY, BLACK AVENGER!
NOW, GO ON,
BE A HERMIT.
HEY, JOE!
WHAT'S THAT?
TAIN'T THUNDER.
LISTEN. DON'T TALK.
LOOK!
SOMEBODY'S DROWNED.
THEY SHOO OVER THE WATER.
THAT MAKES THE BODY
COME UP TO THE TOP.
BY JINX, I'D GIVE HEAPS
TO KNOW WHO'S DROWNED.
HUCKY?
I BETCHA THEY'RE LOOKIN'
FOR DOC ROBINSON.
WE WON'T FIND NOTHIN'
TILL WE GET DOWN THE RIVER
TO WHERE THE RAFT WAS FOUND.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT WAS THE RIGHT RAFT?
WHY, THE POOR
LITTLE HARPER BOY'S SHOES
WAS STILL ON IT,
YOU OLD PUDDIN' HEAD!
THAT WHO'S DROWNED-US!
OH!
SAY, TOM?
DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY
REALLY THINK I'M DROWNDED?
COURSE THEY DO.
AIN'T YA GLAD?
WELL, I SUPPOSE SO,
BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE
MY MOTHER WOULD-WELL...
YOUR MOTHER MADE YOU
WEAR SHOES, DIDN'T SHE?
WELL, YES, BUT, WELL...
IF SHE FELT TOO BAD,
WELL, MAYBE
I OUGHT TO GO HOME.
WHAT?
WELL, YOU KNOW,
JUST FOR A VISIT.
VISIT?
YOU'RE JUST SCARED.
SHUCKS, I'LL BET YOU'LL

AW!
JOE?
JOE?
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU WAN TO BE WHEN YOU GO HOME?
YOU MEAN...
YOU MEAN,
WE'RE GONNA GO HOME?
IN ABOU 10 OR 20 YEARS MAYBE.
OH.
10 OR 20 YEARS.
I THINK...
I THINK
I'LL BE A GENERAL.
THEN WHEN I COME HOME
WITH MY SWORD
AND MEDALS AND
MAYBE ONE LEG OFF...
MY GRANDPA'S
GOT ONE LEG OFF.
OR MAYBE
I OUGHT TO GO OUT WES AND JOIN THE INDIANS.
THEN WHEN I WAS CHIEF,
I'D PUT ON MY FEATHERS
AND WAR PAIN AND COME PRANCIN'
INTO SUNDAY SCHOOL.
MY MA ALWAYS GIVE US
PANCAKES AND MOLASSES
BEFORE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
I KNOW!
I'LL BE A PIRATE.
THEN I COULD SAIL
RIGHT UP TO TOWN
WITH MY CUTLASS
AND HORSE PISTOLS,
AND THEY'D ALL HIDE
AND SAY,
"TOM SAWYER,
THE TERROR OF THE SEAS,
IS BACK HOME AGAIN."
YEAH... BACK HOME AGAIN.
WELL... WELL...
ONE THING
ABOUT BEING A PIRATE,
NOBODY'S GONNA BOTHER YOU
ABOUT WASHIN' YOUR FEET.
MY MA ALWAYS MAKES ME
WASH MY FEET WITH SOAP.
YEAH.
BUT I BET SHE DON' SMOTHER THE COVERS
UP AROUND YOUR NECK
OR FUSS AROUND WITH
YOUR PILLOW EVERY NIGHT.
MA GOT ME
AN EIDERDOWN.
WELL... ANYHOW,
WE WON'T HAVE TO LISTEN
TO 'EM IN THE MORNIN',
RATTLIN' THE DISHES
AND TALKIN' AND LAUGHIN'
SO LOUD AND CHEERFUL.
MY MA DON'T LAUGH
MUCH IN THE MORNING,
BUT SHE SINGS NICE HYMNS.
COURSE THERE AIN' SUCH GOOD SWIMMIN'
ANYWHERE'S AS HERE, JOE.
BUT IT AIN' SO MUCH FUN
WHEN THERE'S NOBODY
TO TELL YOU YOU CAN'T GO IN.
I COULD TELL YOU
YOU CAN'T GO IN, JOE.
I WANT MY MA TO TELL ME
I CAN'T GO IN.
Aunt Polly, crying: NEVER

OH, I HADN' GIVEN UP HOPE

Aunt Polly:

Aunt Polly:

YOU AIN'T GO NO FRIEND BUT ME.
YOU STAY HID.
DEAR FRIENDS,
WE ARE GATHERED HERE TO PAY
SOLEMN AND LOVING TRIBUTE
TO THE MEMORY OF 3 FINE
AND BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BOYS
CUT OFF IN THE FULLNESS
OF LIFE'S MORN'.
WHAT A MODEL OF OBEDIENCE
AND UPRIGHTNESS
WAS JOSEPH HARPER.
ALWAYS THE PROP AND COMFOR OF HIS DEAR MOTHER.
ALWAYS TAKING PRIDE
IN BEING WELL-DRESSED AND NEAT.
YET, LET US REJOICE
THAT HE IS NOW WEARING
CELESTIAL RAIMENT.
AND THOMAS SAWYER.
I SHALL NOT SPEAK
OF HIS KINDNESS
TO MAN AND BEAST ALIKE...
NOR OF HIS DILIGENCE
IN PERFORMING
HIS APPOINTED DUTIES
ABOUT THE HOME.
SUFFICE IT TO SAY,
IN THE RECENT WORDS
OF A ST. LOUIS EDITOR,
"HIS LIFE WAS GENTLE,
"AND THE ELEMENTS
SO MIXED IN HIM
"THAT NATURE MIGHT STAND UP
AND SAY TO ALL THE WORLD,
THIS WAS A BOY."
AND LAST, BUT, OH, MY FRIENDS,
BY NO MEANS LEAST,
THE FIGURE WE ALL
HAD COME TO LOVE-
THE UNFORTUNATE, BUT ENDURING
CHILD OF NATURE
KNOWN AS HUCKLEBERRY FINN.
HOW BRAVELY HE OVERCAME
THE DISMAL HANDICAPS
OF HIS PARENTAGE.
HOW NOBLY HE GREW IN GRACE
AND BECAME
A USEFUL MEMBER.
BUT NOW, ALAS,
ALL 3 BLOSSOMING YOUTHS
HAVE CROSSED
THE GREAT RIVER.
THEY HAVE STEPPED
UPON THE SUNLIT SHORE.
EVEN NOW, THEY MARCH.
THEY MARCH INTO-
TOM! TOM! OH!
OH, MY BOY!
MY PRECIOUS!
JOE!
OH, JOE!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
ALL THIS TIME?
WHO SAVED YOU?
WHY, NOBODY.
WE WAS
JUST PLAYIN' PIRATES.
Man:
PLAYING PIRATES?!
Second man: MAKIN'
A PASSEL OF FOOLS OUT OF US!
IF THEY WERE MINE,
I'D LAUGH
THEIR HIDE OFF.
LETTING US THINK
THAT THEY WERE DROWNED!
THEY HAVE RETURNED TO US
UNHARMED.
LET US GIVE THANKS.
SING AND PUT YOUR HEARTS
IN IT.
PLAYIN' PIRATES.
JUST WAI TILL I GET YOU HOME.
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM
ALL BLESSINGS FLOW
PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES
HERE BELOW...
I KNOW I DID WRONG
TO RUN AWAY
AND LET YOU THINK
WE WAS DROWNED,
BUT I DREAM ABOUT YOU ANYWAY.
DREAM?
A CAT DOES THAT MUCH.
WHAT'D YOU DREAM?
WHY, UH... WHY...
THURSDAY NIGHT, I DREAM THAT YOU, AUNT POLLY,
WERE SITTING
ON THE SOFA,
AND YOU WERE SITTING
ON THE WOOD BOX,
AND MARY NEXT TO YOU.
SO WE DID.
SO WE ALWAYS DO.
AND JOE HARPER'S
MOTHER WAS HERE.
WHY, SHE WAS HERE.
HMM.
DID YOU DREAM ANY MORE?
IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT MRS. HARPER
SAID SHE STILL HAS HOPES
UNTIL THEY FOUND THE RAF WITH JOE'S...
JOE'S...
TRY HARDER, TOM!
IT WAS HIS SHOES.
WHY, IT HAPPENED
JUST SO!
MM-HMM.
GO ON, TOM.
OH, IT'S ALL GETTING
AS BRIGHT AS DAY NOW.
THEN SID SAID...
I THINK HE SAID...
HE BET IT WAS MY FAULT.
MERCY ON US,
HIS VERY WORDS.
AND YOU
SHUT HIM UP SHARP.
I CERTAINLY DID.
AND THEN
YOU WENT TO BED.
DON'T TELL ME THERE AIN' ANYTHING IN DREAMS.
SERENY HARPER'LL
KNOW OF THIS
BEFORE I'M A MINUTE OLDER!
HMM!
"OH, IT'S ALL GETTING
AS BRIGHT AS DAY NOW."
TRASH!
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED,
WASN'T IT?
PURTY THIN-
AS LONG A DREAM AS THA WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES
IN IT.
HUH!
SID?
YAH, YOU MISSED ME!
Aunt Polly: TOM!
YOU, TOM!
I HAVE A GOOD NOTION
TO SKIN YOU ALIVE!
YOU!
WHAT HAVE I DONE,
AUNT POLLY?
HERE I GO
OVER TO SERENY HARPER
WITH ALL THAT RUBBISH
ABOUT THAT DREAM,
AND, LO AND BEHOLD,
SHE FOUND OUT FROM JOE
YOU WAS OVER HERE
AND HEARD ALL THE TALK
WE HAD THAT NIGHT!
OH, TOM, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S TO BECOME OF A BOY
THAT WILL AC THE WAY YOU DO.
I KNOW NOW IT WAS MEAN,
AUNT POLLY,
BUT I DIDN'T MEAN
TO BE MEAN.
HONEST, I DIDN'T.
AND BESIDES,
I DIDN'T COME OVER HERE
TO LAUGH AT YOU THAT NIGHT.
WELL, WHAT DID YOU
COME OVER HERE FOR THEN?
TO TELL YOU
NOT TO WORRY ABOUT US
'CAUSE WE HADN' GOT DROWNED.
I'D GIVE THE WHOLE WORLD
TO BELIEVE THAT,
BUT IT AIN'T REASONABLE.
BECAUSE WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME, CHILD?
WELL, YOU SEE,
WHEN I HEARD TALKIN'
ABOUT THE FUNERAL,
I GOT THE IDEA
OF HIDIN' IN THE CHURCH,
SO I PUT THE BARK
BACK IN MY POCKE AND KEPT MUM.
BARK? WHAT BARK?
THE BARK I WROTE ON
TO TELL YOU WE'D GONE PIRATE.
WHY, IT'S STILL IN THE POCKE OF MY OLD COAT.
YOU CAN LOOK AND SEE
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
I WISH NOW YOU'D WAKE UP
WHEN I KISSED YOU.
I DO, HONEST.
DID YOU KISS ME, TOM?
WHY, YES, I DID,
AUNT POLLY.
NOW, WHAT'D YOU
KISS ME FOR?
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO,
AND YOU LAID THERE MOANIN',
AND I WAS SO SORRY.
KISS ME AGAIN, TOM.
GO ON TO SCHOOL NOW.
AND DON'T BOTHER ME
NO MORE.
YEAH, YOU DIDN'T FOOL ME.
AUNT POLLY!
I NEVER DID NOBODY
ANY HARM BEFORE.
YOU'LL ALL SAY THAT.
I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT I WAS DOIN'.
I HOPE-I HOPE TO DIE
THIS MINUTE IF I DID.
HEY, TOM.
THEY FOUND
DOC ROBINSON'S BODY
AND ARRESTED MUFF.
BUT MUFF
DIDN'T KILL HIM.
INJUN JOE SAYS HE DID,
AND MUFF THINKS HE DID.
BUT WE SAW.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
DO? NOTHIN'.
DO YOU WANNA DROP DOWN
DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS
AND ROT?
OHH.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE,
THE STATE OF MISSOURA
VS. CLARENCE POTTER,
ALIAS MUFF POTTER.
DEATH WAS DUE TO
AN INCISIVE TRAUMA OF THE HEAR INFLICTED BY A KNIFE.
IT'S MUFF POTTER'S
KNIFE, ALL RIGHT.
I SOLD IT TO HIM
LAST OCTOBER.
SURE, I COULD SEE
MUFF STAB HIM.
I WAS AS CLOSE
AS I AM TO YOU.
Prosecutor:
THAT'S ALL.
THE STATE RESTS.
YOUR HONOR, I ASK
FOR AN ADJOURNMEN UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING.
ADJOURNMENT?
FOR WHAT?
TO PREPARE MY ADDRESS
TO THE JURY,
WHICH'LL BE
OUR ONLY DEFENSE.
YOU WILL INTRODUCE
NO WITNESSES?
WE'VE BEEN UNABLE
TO FIND ANY.
HERE'S SOME MORE
TOBACCER, MUFF.
AND HERE'S SOME REAL
LUCIFER MATCHES.
THANK YOU, BOYS.
YOU'VE BEEN
MIGHTY GOOD TO ME,
BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE
IN THIS TOWN.
AND OFTEN I SAYS
TO MYSELF, SAYS I,
"I USED TO SHOW THE BOYS WHERE
THE GOOD FISHIN' PLACES WAS
"AND BEFRIEND 'EM
WHAT I COULD,
AND NOW THEY ALL FORGOT OL' MUFF
WHEN HE'S IN TROUBLE."
BUT TOM DON'T,
AND HUCK DON'T.
AND I DON'T FORGET THEM,
EITHER. HEH.
IT'S A PRIME COMFORT TO LOOK
ON FACES THAT'S FRIENDLY
WHEN A BODY'S
IN SUCH A MUCK OF TROUBLE.
GOOD FRIENDLY FACES. HEH.
SHAKE HANDS.
LITTLE HANDS.
BUT THEY'VE HELPED
MUFF POTTER A POWER.
THEY'D HELP MORE
IF THEY COULD.
...TELL THE TRUTH,
THE WHOLE TRUTH,
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP ME.

STHERE'S NOTHING

WE COULDN'T CLEAR THAT OU IN 6 MONTHS.
BECKY, YOU MUSTN'T.

I CAN'T HELP IT.
IF ONLY I HAD
MY MOTHER AND...
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE,
IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
THERE. AIN'T IT FUN
HAVIN' A FIRE?
YES, BUT...
TOM, I'M SO HUNGRY.
DID YOU FORGET THIS?
I SAVED IT FROM THE PICNIC
FOR US TO DREAM ON,
THE WAY GROWN-UP PEOPLE DO.
WELL, COULDN'T WE
MAKE A WISH ON IT?
WE COULD TRY.
I WISH...
I WISH IT WAS
AS BIG AS A BARREL.
IT'S GOOD AND LONG.
IT'S MY KITE STRING.
YOU HOLD ON
TO THIS END OF IT,
AND I'LL UNWIND I DOWN SOME OF THE TUNNELS.
OH, NO.
PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME.
I'VE GOT TO.
WE'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
I'LL TAKE HALF OF THE CANDLE
AND LEAVE HALF FOR YOU.
NOW DON'T LET GO OF IT.
I WON'T.
WHY DON'T YOU SING, BECKY,
AND YOU WON'T BE LONESOME.
IF EVER I SEE
ON BUSH OR...
TREE
YOUNG BIRDS
IN THEIR PRETTY NES I MUST NOT IN PLAY
STEAL
THE YOUNG BIRDS AWAY
TO GRIEVE
THEIR MOTHER'S BREAS IF EVER I SEE
ON BUSH OR TREE...
MY MOTHER, I KNOW
WOULD SORROW SO
TOM!
TOM! TOM!
WOWIE!
TOM!
AAH!
IF INJUN...
IF HE GOT IN HERE,

LET'S LOOK.
BECKY! BECKY!
BUT YOU GOTTA, BECKY!
BECKY!
THERE'S LIGHT! LOOK!
COME ON!
PLEASE, BECKY! PLEASE!

IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER!
BECKY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!
IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER!
BECKY, THERE'S LIGHT!
BECKY!
BECKY, I'M COMIN' FOR YOU.
AND THEN THIS HEROIC BOY
ACTUALLY WENT BACK
INTO THAT AWFUL DARKNESS
AND SOMEHOW, SOME WAY,
BROUGHT OUR BECKY
OUT TO SAFETY.
NO COMMONPLACE BOY
COULD HAVE DONE THAT,
NO BOY OTHER
THAN THE NOBLE LAD

A BETTER BOY.
WE WON'T WAIT FOR HIM.
SIT DOWN AND EAT.

I DON'T WANT IT.
IT'S A KNOB OFF
A BRASS DOORKNOCKER.
PLEASE, BECKY,
WON'T YOU TAKE IT?
WELL, HERE'S THE BES TREASURE I GOT.

DEAD CATS GOOD FOR?
GOOD FOR?
TO CURE WARTS WITH.
CURE WARTS WITH?
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
WHY, YOU TAKE YOUR CA AND ALONG
ABOUT MIDNIGH YOU GO GE IN THE GRAVEYARD
WHERE SOMEBODY
WICKED'S BEEN BURIED.
THEN WHEN THE DEVIL COMES
TO TAKE THAT FELLA AWAY,
WHY, YOU HEAVE
YOUR CAT AT HIM
AND SAY, "DEVIL,
FOLLOW CORPSE.
"CAT, FOLLOW DEVIL,
WARTS, FOLLOW CAT.
I'M DONE WITH YOU."
THAT'LL CURE ANY WART.
WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO TRY THE CAT?
WELL, THEY'RE BURYING
OLD HORSE WILLIAMS TODAY.
I RECKON THE DEVIL
WILL COME AFTER HIM TONIGHT.
HORSE WILLIAMS, SUPPOSE
HE'S WICKED ENOUGH?
OH, YES.
HE'S THE WICKEDEST MAN
IN THESE PARTS...
SINCE MY PA GOT RUN
OUT OF TOWN.
WOULD YOU LET ME
GO WITH YOU?
IF YOU AIN' A- FEARED.
WHO'S A-FEARED?
WELL, I'M GOING FISHING.
I GUESS YOU BETTER
BE GETTING TO SCHOOL.
I'LL BE WAITING

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
IF YOU DON'T STEP ON 'EM.
SAY, HUCKY?
DO YOU RECKON HOSS WILLIAMS
HEARS US TALKIN'?
OF COURSE, HE DOES.
YOU CAN'T BE TOO
PARTICULAR HOW YOU TALK.
I WISHED I'D SAID
"MR. WILLIAMS."
SHH.
THE DEVIL'S COMIN'.
We're goners.
Can you pray?
I'll try.
Now I lay me
down to sleep, I...
Look.
Why, they ain't devils.
That's Muff Potter.
Yes,
and he's drunk again.
That's Dr. Robinson.
They're
body-snatching.
And Injun Joe.
I'd rather they
was devils than him.
NOW PUT IT IN THE
WHEELBARROW AND GET STARTED.
WELL?
I WANT MY MONEY.
YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY
WHEN YOUR JOB'S FINISHED,
NOT UNTIL THEN.
KIND OF HIGH AND MIGHTY,
AIN'T YA, FOR A GRAVE ROBBER?
I WANT MY MONEY NOW,
AND SOME MORE NEXT WEEK,
AND SOME MORE
AFTER THAT!
WHY YOU BLACKMAILING
HALF-BREED, I'LL-
MY GOD,

AAH!
MUFF?
HUH?
COME ON, MUFF.
YOU GOT TO GE OUT OF HERE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
JOE... JOE...
I NEVER MEAN TO DO IT.
OF COURSE,
YOU DIDN'T, MUFF.
OF COURSE,
YOU DIDN'T.
HUCK, DO YOU SUPPOSE
WE OUGHT TO TELL ANYBODY?
DO YOU WAN TO GET US KILLED?
WHY,
THAT DEVIL INJUN JOE
WOULDN'T THINK ANY MORE
OF DROWNIN' US
THAN A COUPLE OF CATS
IF WE WAS TO TELL ON HIM.
LOOKY HERE,
LET'S TAKE AND SWEAR TO
ONE ANOTHER TO KEEP MUM.
GIVE ME YOUR HAND.
NO, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR
LITTLE, RUBBISHY THINGS.
OUGHT TO BE WRITIN'ABING
LIKE THIS,
AND SIGNED IN BLOOD.
YEAH, AND LOTS
OF SWEARING.
"HUCK... FINN...
"AND TOM SAWYER...
"SWEAR THEY WILL
KEEP MUM,
"AND MAY THEY DROP DOWN
DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS
IF THEY EVER TELL
AND ROT."
Man: NO USE TO KEEP
BANGIN' ON THAT DOOR.
THE DOCTOR DIDN' COME HOME ALL NIGHT.
Aunt Polly.
He's been sitting
there like that
ever since school.
TOM!
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?
HE TALKED SO MUCH
IN HIS SLEEP,
HE KEPT ME AWAKE ABOUT HALF THE NIGHT.
WHAT YOU GO ON YOUR MIND, TOM?
NOTHIN'.
NOW, DON'T WASTE MY TIME!
I'M COOKIN' SUPPER!
WHAT AILS YOU?
NOTHIN' I KNOW OF!
I KNOW
WHAT'LL CURE IT.
PAINKILLER?
PAINKILLER-A DOUBLE DOSE,
AND RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU DID TALK
SUCH STUFF IN YOUR SLEEP.
YOU SAID,
"BLOOD, BLOOD."
YOU SAID THA OVER AND OVER.
AND YOU SAID,
"I WON'T TELL."
TELL WHAT?
NOW, YOU TAKE THIS.
IT'LL CURE ANYTHING.
OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
OPEN YOUR MOUTH!
AAH!
NOW GET YOUR BREATH,
AND THEN YOU TAKE
THIS OTHER SPOONFUL.
HERE! HEAR WHAT I SAY?
DO IT!
DON'T ASK FOR IT,
PETER,
UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT IT.
YOU BETTER MAKE SURE.
WELL, ALL RIGHT.
BUT IF YOU FIND
YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
YOU MUSTN'T BLAME ANYBODY
BUT YOUR OWN SELF.
OH!
TOM?
WHAT ON EARTH
AILS THAT CAT?
I DON'T KNOW,
AUNT POLLY.
I NEVER SEE ANYTHING
LIKE IT.
WHAT DID MAKE HIM
ACT SO?
CATS ALWAYS ACT SO
WHEN THEY'RE
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
OH, THEY DO, DO THEY?
DID YOU GIVE THAT CA SOME PAINKILLER?
LOOK ME IN THE EYE.
HMM!
OH!
NOW, SIR, WHAT YOU WANT TO
TREAT THAT CAT SO CRUEL FOR?
I DONE IT OUT OF PITY
FOR HIM
'CAUSE HE HADN' ANY AUNT.
HADN'T ANY AUNT,
YOU NUMBSKULL!
WHAT'S THA GOT TO DO WITH IT?
BECAUSE IF HE'D HAD ONE,
SHE'D HAVE ROASTED
THE INNARDS OUT OF HIM
WITHOUT ANY MORE FEELING
THAN IF HE WAS A HUMAN.
TOM, YOU MUSTN'T BE
CRUEL TO DUMB BEASTS.
WHAT'S CRUEL
TO A DUMB BEAS MIGHT BE CRUEL
TO A HUMAN, TOO, AUNT POLLY.
BUT, TOM,
IT DID DO YOU GOOD.
DONE HIM GOOD, TOO.
I NEVER SEE HIM
GET ALONG SO BEFORE.
OH, GO ALONG WITH YOU
BEFORE YOU
AGGRAVATE ME AGAIN.
OW.
YOU DON'T WHACK SID
WHEN HE TAKES SUGAR.
WELL, SID DON'T TORMEN A BODY THE WAY YOU DO.
OH!
YOU...
DON'T PUNISH TOM,
AUNT POLLY!
IT WAS SID
BROKE IT.
WELL, YOU DIDN'T GE A LICK AMISS, I RECKON.
YOU'VE BEEN IN PLENTY OF
OTHER AUDACIOUS MISCHIEF.
OH!
AIN'T YOU GOIN'
TO THE CHURCH SOCIAL?
MMM... CHURCH SOCIAL!
THIS HERE'S CHOCK FULL
OF POTATO SALAD
AND A GREAT,
BIG CHOCOLATE CAKE
AND PICKLES.
IF I WAS
TO DROWN MYSELF
THEN THEY'D BE SORRY.
BEN ROGERS
IS GONNA BRING
A WHOLE LO OF FISHIN' WORMS
TO PUT DOWN
GIRLS' NECKS.
THEY'D SEE MY BODY
LAYIN' THERE ALL WET AND STIFF,
THEN THEY'D DRESS UP
AND CRY SOME.
MY MA WAS GONNA WHACK ME
IF I DIDN'T PU THESE SHOES ON.
TREAT YOU LIKE A DOG.
LIKE A OLD CUR DIG.
SHOES!
ANYBODY'D THINK THERE
WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND.
BURNIN' YOU OU WITH PAINKILLER.
SQUEEZIN' YOUR FEET.
ENOUGH TO MAKE
ANYBODY RUN AWAY.
I'D JUST AS SOON.
HUH?
WE WOULD NEVER
WEAR SHOES.
WE COULD GO
A THOUSAND MILES AWAY.
WE COULD GO
ALL OVER THE WORLD!
WE CAN GET HUCK FINN
TO GO WITH US!
WE CAN USE
HUCK'S RAFT!
I'M CAPTAIN MURRELL,
THE ONE-EYED TERROR
OF THE MISSISSIPPI,
AND IF YOU DON'T DIG
FOR TREASURE,
THAT'S COMMITTIN'
MUTINY.
AW, I'VE WALKED THE PLANK
10 TIMES ALREADY.
I'M SICK
OF COMMITTIN' MUTINY.
YOU'RE A FINE OLD SLODGE
OF A PIRATE, YOU ARE.
YOU'RE A DISGRACE.
THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU
LET ME BE A HERMI LIKE I WANTED TO BE?
ALL RIGHT, THEN,
YOU'RE A HERMIT.
HEY, BLACK AVENGER!
NOW, GO ON,
BE A HERMIT.
HEY, JOE!
WHAT'S THAT?
TAIN'T THUNDER.
LISTEN. DON'T TALK.
LOOK!
SOMEBODY'S DROWNED.
THEY SHOO OVER THE WATER.
THAT MAKES THE BODY
COME UP TO THE TOP.
BY JINX, I'D GIVE HEAPS
TO KNOW WHO'S DROWNED.
HUCKY?
I BETCHA THEY'RE LOOKIN'
FOR DOC ROBINSON.
WE WON'T FIND NOTHIN'
TILL WE GET DOWN THE RIVER
TO WHERE THE RAFT WAS FOUND.
HOW DO YOU KNOW
THAT WAS THE RIGHT RAFT?
WHY, THE POOR
LITTLE HARPER BOY'S SHOES
WAS STILL ON IT,
YOU OLD PUDDIN' HEAD!
THAT WHO'S DROWNED-US!
OH!
SAY, TOM?
DO YOU SUPPOSE THEY
REALLY THINK I'M DROWNDED?
COURSE THEY DO.
AIN'T YA GLAD?
WELL, I SUPPOSE SO,
BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE
MY MOTHER WOULD-WELL...
YOUR MOTHER MADE YOU
WEAR SHOES, DIDN'T SHE?
WELL, YES, BUT, WELL...
IF SHE FELT TOO BAD,
WELL, MAYBE
I OUGHT TO GO HOME.
WHAT?
WELL, YOU KNOW,
JUST FOR A VISIT.
VISIT?
YOU'RE JUST SCARED.
SHUCKS, I'LL BET YOU'LL
BOTH WANT TO GO HOME.
AW!
JOE?
JOE?
WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU WAN TO BE WHEN YOU GO HOME?
YOU MEAN...
YOU MEAN,
WE'RE GONNA GO HOME?
IN ABOU 10 OR 20 YEARS MAYBE.
OH.
10 OR 20 YEARS.
I THINK...
I THINK
I'LL BE A GENERAL.
THEN WHEN I COME HOME
WITH MY SWORD
AND MEDALS AND
MAYBE ONE LEG OFF...
MY GRANDPA'S
GOT ONE LEG OFF.
OR MAYBE
I OUGHT TO GO OUT WES AND JOIN THE INDIANS.
THEN WHEN I WAS CHIEF,
I'D PUT ON MY FEATHERS
AND WAR PAIN AND COME PRANCIN'
INTO SUNDAY SCHOOL.
MY MA ALWAYS GIVE US
PANCAKES AND MOLASSES
BEFORE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
I KNOW!
I'LL BE A PIRATE.
THEN I COULD SAIL
RIGHT UP TO TOWN
WITH MY CUTLASS
AND HORSE PISTOLS,
AND THEY'D ALL HIDE
AND SAY,
"TOM SAWYER,
THE TERROR OF THE SEAS,
IS BACK HOME AGAIN."
YEAH... BACK HOME AGAIN.
WELL... WELL...
ONE THING
ABOUT BEING A PIRATE,
NOBODY'S GONNA BOTHER YOU
ABOUT WASHIN' YOUR FEET.
MY MA ALWAYS MAKES ME
WASH MY FEET WITH SOAP.
YEAH.
BUT I BET SHE DON' SMOTHER THE COVERS
UP AROUND YOUR NECK
OR FUSS AROUND WITH
YOUR PILLOW EVERY NIGHT.
MA GOT ME
AN EIDERDOWN.
WELL... ANYHOW,
WE WON'T HAVE TO LISTEN
TO 'EM IN THE MORNIN',
RATTLIN' THE DISHES
AND TALKIN' AND LAUGHIN'
SO LOUD AND CHEERFUL.
MY MA DON'T LAUGH
MUCH IN THE MORNING,
BUT SHE SINGS NICE HYMNS.
COURSE THERE AIN' SUCH GOOD SWIMMIN'
ANYWHERE'S AS HERE, JOE.
BUT IT AIN' SO MUCH FUN
WHEN THERE'S NOBODY
TO TELL YOU YOU CAN'T GO IN.
I COULD TELL YOU
YOU CAN'T GO IN, JOE.
I WANT MY MA TO TELL ME
I CAN'T GO IN.
Aunt Polly, crying: NEVER
TO SEE OUR BOYS AGAIN.
OH, MRS. HARPER
Mary: IT'S A POEM,
MRS. HARPER,
TO YOUR JOE
AND OUR TOM.
UH, READ IT,
CHILD.
"OUR DROWNDED BOYS
BY MARY WADSWORTH SAWYER.
"ALACK, OUR BROKEN HEARTS
ARE SO SAD.
"ALACK, OUR SORROW,
IT IS SO HARD TO MEASURE.
"FOR THOUGH OFTTIMES, THEY MAY
HAVE ACTED PRETTY BAD,
"BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
THEY WERE
OUR FOND TREASURE."
NOW, DON' TAKE ON SO.
YOU'RE JUST WEARING
YOURSELF TO PIECES.
OH, I HADN' GIVEN UP HOPE
TILL THEY FOUND THE RAF WITH JOE'S
LITTLE SHOES ON IT.
POOR, ABUSED BOY.
I BET IT WAS
TOM'S FAULT.
Aunt Polly:
NOW, SIDNEY,
DON'T YOU SAY ONE WORD
AGAINST OUR DEAR TOM...
NOW THAT HE'S GONE.
YOU BETTER
RUN UP TO BED.
Sid:
YES, AUNT POLLY.
Aunt Polly:
OH, MRS. HARPER,
I DON'T KNOW
HOW I CAN GO ON
WITHOUT MY TOM.
AND THE LAST WORDS
I EVER HEARD HIM SAY
WERE TO REPROACH ME.
Mrs. Harper:
WELL, ALL OUR TEARS
WON'T BRING THEM BACK.
OH, AUNT POLLY,
DON'T YOU THINK
YOU'D BETTER TRY
AND GE A LITTLE SLEEP NOW?
I RECKON I'D BETTER.
I'M ALL TUCKERED OUT.
Mrs. Harper: GET SOME REST,
MISS POLLY DEAR.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT,
AUNT POLLY.
GOOD NIGHT.
O, GOD,
IN THINE INFINITE MERCY,
WATCH OVER
OUR INNOCENT BOYS.
PUNISH ME AS I DESERVE,
BUT NOT IN THIS WAY.
I BEG OF THEE.
PLEASE. OH, PLEASE,
LET THEIR BODIES BE FOUND
SO THAT I CAN LOOK
ON MY DEAR TOM'S FACE
ONCE MORE
FOR THE LAST TIME.
AMEN.
WHY, JIM,
WHY AREN'T YOU ASLEEP?
I CAN'T, MISS MARY.
I CAN'T DO NOTHIN'
BUT THINK ABOU THE FUNERAL SUNDAY.
NOW, STOP THINKING
ABOUT SUNDAY.
GO ON OU AND GO TO SLEEP, JIM.
I'LL TRY, MISS MARY.
TOM, WHAT ARE YOU-
WHAT YOU DO HERE?
YOU KNOW
THEY LOOKIN' FOR YOU.
WHY, THEM BOYS
WAS MY FRIENDS.
YOU AIN'T GO NO FRIEND BUT ME.
YOU STAY HID.
DEAR FRIENDS,
WE ARE GATHERED HERE TO PAY
SOLEMN AND LOVING TRIBUTE
TO THE MEMORY OF 3 FINE
AND BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BOYS
CUT OFF IN THE FULLNESS
OF LIFE'S MORN'.
WHAT A MODEL OF OBEDIENCE
AND UPRIGHTNESS
WAS JOSEPH HARPER.
ALWAYS THE PROP AND COMFOR OF HIS DEAR MOTHER.
ALWAYS TAKING PRIDE
IN BEING WELL-DRESSED AND NEAT.
YET, LET US REJOICE
THAT HE IS NOW WEARING
CELESTIAL RAIMENT.
AND THOMAS SAWYER.
I SHALL NOT SPEAK
OF HIS KINDNESS
TO MAN AND BEAST ALIKE...
NOR OF HIS DILIGENCE
IN PERFORMING
HIS APPOINTED DUTIES
ABOUT THE HOME.
SUFFICE IT TO SAY,
IN THE RECENT WORDS
OF A ST. LOUIS EDITOR,
"HIS LIFE WAS GENTLE,
"AND THE ELEMENTS
SO MIXED IN HIM
"THAT NATURE MIGHT STAND UP
AND SAY TO ALL THE WORLD,
THIS WAS A BOY."
AND LAST, BUT, OH, MY FRIENDS,
BY NO MEANS LEAST,
THE FIGURE WE ALL
HAD COME TO LOVE-
THE UNFORTUNATE, BUT ENDURING
CHILD OF NATURE
KNOWN AS HUCKLEBERRY FINN.
HOW BRAVELY HE OVERCAME
THE DISMAL HANDICAPS
OF HIS PARENTAGE.
HOW NOBLY HE GREW IN GRACE
AND BECAME
A USEFUL MEMBER.
BUT NOW, ALAS,
ALL 3 BLOSSOMING YOUTHS
HAVE CROSSED
THE GREAT RIVER.
THEY HAVE STEPPED
UPON THE SUNLIT SHORE.
EVEN NOW, THEY MARCH.
THEY MARCH INTO-
TOM! TOM! OH!
OH, MY BOY!
MY PRECIOUS!
JOE!
OH, JOE!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
ALL THIS TIME?
WHO SAVED YOU?
WHY, NOBODY.
WE WAS
JUST PLAYIN' PIRATES.
Man:
PLAYING PIRATES?!
Second man: MAKIN'
A PASSEL OF FOOLS OUT OF US!
IF THEY WERE MINE,
I'D LAUGH
THEIR HIDE OFF.
LETTING US THINK
THAT THEY WERE DROWNED!
THEY HAVE RETURNED TO US
UNHARMED.
LET US GIVE THANKS.
SING AND PUT YOUR HEARTS
IN IT.
PLAYIN' PIRATES.
JUST WAI TILL I GET YOU HOME.
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM
ALL BLESSINGS FLOW
PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES
HERE BELOW...
I KNOW I DID WRONG
TO RUN AWAY
AND LET YOU THINK
WE WAS DROWNED,
BUT I DREAM ABOUT YOU ANYWAY.
DREAM?
A CAT DOES THAT MUCH.
WHAT'D YOU DREAM?
WHY, UH... WHY...
THURSDAY NIGHT, I DREAM THAT YOU, AUNT POLLY,
WERE SITTING
ON THE SOFA,
AND YOU WERE SITTING
ON THE WOOD BOX,
AND MARY NEXT TO YOU.
SO WE DID.
SO WE ALWAYS DO.
AND JOE HARPER'S
MOTHER WAS HERE.
WHY, SHE WAS HERE.
HMM.
DID YOU DREAM ANY MORE?
IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT MRS. HARPER
SAID SHE STILL HAS HOPES
UNTIL THEY FOUND THE RAF WITH JOE'S...
JOE'S...
TRY HARDER, TOM!
IT WAS HIS SHOES.
WHY, IT HAPPENED
JUST SO!
MM-HMM.
GO ON, TOM.
OH, IT'S ALL GETTING
AS BRIGHT AS DAY NOW.
THEN SID SAID...
I THINK HE SAID...
HE BET IT WAS MY FAULT.
MERCY ON US,
HIS VERY WORDS.
AND YOU
SHUT HIM UP SHARP.
I CERTAINLY DID.
AND THEN
YOU WENT TO BED.
DON'T TELL ME THERE AIN' ANYTHING IN DREAMS.
SERENY HARPER'LL
KNOW OF THIS
BEFORE I'M A MINUTE OLDER!
HMM!
"OH, IT'S ALL GETTING
AS BRIGHT AS DAY NOW."
TRASH!
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED,
WASN'T IT?
PURTY THIN-
AS LONG A DREAM AS THA WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES
IN IT.
HUH!
SID?
YAH, YOU MISSED ME!
Aunt Polly: TOM!
YOU, TOM!
I HAVE A GOOD NOTION
TO SKIN YOU ALIVE!
YOU!
WHAT HAVE I DONE,
AUNT POLLY?
HERE I GO
OVER TO SERENY HARPER
WITH ALL THAT RUBBISH
ABOUT THAT DREAM,
AND, LO AND BEHOLD,
SHE FOUND OUT FROM JOE
YOU WAS OVER HERE
AND HEARD ALL THE TALK
WE HAD THAT NIGHT!
OH, TOM, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S TO BECOME OF A BOY
THAT WILL AC THE WAY YOU DO.
I KNOW NOW IT WAS MEAN,
AUNT POLLY,
BUT I DIDN'T MEAN
TO BE MEAN.
HONEST, I DIDN'T.
AND BESIDES,
I DIDN'T COME OVER HERE
TO LAUGH AT YOU THAT NIGHT.
WELL, WHAT DID YOU
COME OVER HERE FOR THEN?
TO TELL YOU
NOT TO WORRY ABOUT US
'CAUSE WE HADN' GOT DROWNED.
I'D GIVE THE WHOLE WORLD
TO BELIEVE THAT,
BUT IT AIN'T REASONABLE.
BECAUSE WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME, CHILD?
WELL, YOU SEE,
WHEN I HEARD TALKIN'
ABOUT THE FUNERAL,
I GOT THE IDEA
OF HIDIN' IN THE CHURCH,
SO I PUT THE BARK
BACK IN MY POCKE AND KEPT MUM.
BARK? WHAT BARK?
THE BARK I WROTE ON
TO TELL YOU WE'D GONE PIRATE.
WHY, IT'S STILL IN THE POCKE OF MY OLD COAT.
YOU CAN LOOK AND SEE
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
I WISH NOW YOU'D WAKE UP
WHEN I KISSED YOU.
I DO, HONEST.
DID YOU KISS ME, TOM?
WHY, YES, I DID,
AUNT POLLY.
NOW, WHAT'D YOU
KISS ME FOR?
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO,
AND YOU LAID THERE MOANIN',
AND I WAS SO SORRY.
KISS ME AGAIN, TOM.
GO ON TO SCHOOL NOW.
AND DON'T BOTHER ME
NO MORE.
YEAH, YOU DIDN'T FOOL ME.
AUNT POLLY!
I NEVER DID NOBODY
ANY HARM BEFORE.
YOU'LL ALL SAY THAT.
I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT I WAS DOIN'.
I HOPE-I HOPE TO DIE
THIS MINUTE IF I DID.
HEY, TOM.
THEY FOUND
DOC ROBINSON'S BODY
AND ARRESTED MUFF.
BUT MUFF
DIDN'T KILL HIM.
INJUN JOE SAYS HE DID,
AND MUFF THINKS HE DID.
BUT WE SAW.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
DO? NOTHIN'.
DO YOU WANNA DROP DOWN
DEAD IN YOUR TRACKS
AND ROT?
OHH.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE,
THE STATE OF MISSOURA
VS. CLARENCE POTTER,
ALIAS MUFF POTTER.
DEATH WAS DUE TO
AN INCISIVE TRAUMA OF THE HEAR INFLICTED BY A KNIFE.
IT'S MUFF POTTER'S
KNIFE, ALL RIGHT.
I SOLD IT TO HIM
LAST OCTOBER.
SURE, I COULD SEE
MUFF STAB HIM.
I WAS AS CLOSE
AS I AM TO YOU.
Prosecutor:
THAT'S ALL.
THE STATE RESTS.
YOUR HONOR, I ASK
FOR AN ADJOURNMEN UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING.
ADJOURNMENT?
FOR WHAT?
TO PREPARE MY ADDRESS
TO THE JURY,
WHICH'LL BE
OUR ONLY DEFENSE.
YOU WILL INTRODUCE
NO WITNESSES?
WE'VE BEEN UNABLE
TO FIND ANY.
HERE'S SOME MORE
TOBACCER, MUFF.
AND HERE'S SOME REAL
LUCIFER MATCHES.
THANK YOU, BOYS.
YOU'VE BEEN
MIGHTY GOOD TO ME,
BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE
IN THIS TOWN.
AND OFTEN I SAYS
TO MYSELF, SAYS I,
"I USED TO SHOW THE BOYS WHERE
THE GOOD FISHIN' PLACES WAS
"AND BEFRIEND 'EM
WHAT I COULD,
AND NOW THEY ALL FORGOT OL' MUFF
WHEN HE'S IN TROUBLE."
BUT TOM DON'T,
AND HUCK DON'T.
AND I DON'T FORGET THEM,
EITHER. HEH.
IT'S A PRIME COMFORT TO LOOK
ON FACES THAT'S FRIENDLY
WHEN A BODY'S
IN SUCH A MUCK OF TROUBLE.
GOOD FRIENDLY FACES. HEH.
SHAKE HANDS.
LITTLE HANDS.
BUT THEY'VE HELPED
MUFF POTTER A POWER.
THEY'D HELP MORE
IF THEY COULD.
...TELL THE TRUTH,
THE WHOLE TRUTH,
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH,
SO HELP ME.
THOMAS SAWYER,

IN THE GRAVEYARD.
A LITTLE LOUDER,
PLEASE.
DON'T BE AFRAID.
YOU WERE...
AHEM. IN THE GRAVEYARD!
WHAT DID YOU
TAKE THERE?
ONLY A...
A DEAD CAT.
AND, UH, JUST WHA WERE YOU GOING TO DO
WITH YOUR DEAD CAT?
WE WAS GONNA TAKE
OUR WARTS OFF WITH HIM.
SEE, YOU TAKE YOUR CA ALONG ABOUT MIDNIGHT.

WHERE SOMEBODY WICKED'S

SINCE WE MUST BE EXPOSED
TO ALL THIS BOYISH PRATTLE
ABOUT A DEAD CAT,
MAY I ASK THE CAT WHERE IS

WE WILL PRODUCE
THE SKELETON
OF THAT CAT.
NOW, WHEN YOU WERE
IN THE GRAVEYARD,
WERE YOU
ANYWHERE NEAR
HORSE WILLIAMS'
GRAVE?
YES, SIR.
SPEAK UP.
A LITTLE LOUDER.
HOW NEAR WERE YOU?
NEAR AS I AM TO YOU.

I WAS HID.
WHERE?
UP IN A TREE.
AND NOW, MY BOY,
TELL US EVERYTHING
THAT OCCURRED.
TELL I IN YOUR OWN WAY,
DON'T SKIP ANYTHING,
AND DON'T BE AFRAID.
WE SAW THE FIGHT.
MUFF GOT KNOCKED
UNCONSCIOUS.
HE DIDN'T KILL DOC ROBINSON!
THE ONE THAT STABBED HIM WAS-
Man: SOMEBODY GET HIM!
WHOA!
HA HA HA HA HA!
YAY!

I CAN'T HELP IT.
IF ONLY I HAD
MY MOTHER AND...
THY KINGDOM COME,
THY WILL BE DONE,
IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
THERE. AIN'T IT FUN
HAVIN' A FIRE?
YES, BUT...
TOM, I'M SO HUNGRY.
DID YOU FORGET THIS?
I SAVED IT FROM THE PICNIC
FOR US TO DREAM ON,
THE WAY GROWN-UP PEOPLE DO.
WELL, COULDN'T WE
MAKE A WISH ON IT?
WE COULD TRY.
I WISH...
I WISH IT WAS
AS BIG AS A BARREL.
IT'S GOOD AND LONG.
IT'S MY KITE STRING.
YOU HOLD ON
TO THIS END OF IT,
AND I'LL UNWIND I DOWN SOME OF THE TUNNELS.
OH, NO.
PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME.
I'VE GOT TO.
WE'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
I'LL TAKE HALF OF THE CANDLE
AND LEAVE HALF FOR YOU.
NOW DON'T LET GO OF IT.
I WON'T.
WHY DON'T YOU SING, BECKY,
AND YOU WON'T BE LONESOME.
IF EVER I SEE
ON BUSH OR...
TREE
YOUNG BIRDS
IN THEIR PRETTY NES I MUST NOT IN PLAY
STEAL
THE YOUNG BIRDS AWAY
TO GRIEVE
THEIR MOTHER'S BREAS IF EVER I SEE
ON BUSH OR TREE...
MY MOTHER, I KNOW
WOULD SORROW SO
TOM!
TOM! TOM!
WOWIE!
TOM!
AAH!
IF INJUN...
IF HE GOT IN HERE,
THERE MUST BE SOME WAY OUT.
LET'S LOOK.
BECKY! BECKY!
BUT YOU GOTTA, BECKY!
BECKY!
THERE'S LIGHT! LOOK!
COME ON!
PLEASE, BECKY! PLEASE!
I'LL BE BACK, BECKY.
I'LL BE BACK FOR YOU!
BECKY,
IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER!
BECKY, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!
IT'S GETTING BRIGHTER!
BECKY, THERE'S LIGHT!
BECKY!
BECKY, I'M COMIN' FOR YOU.
AND THEN THIS HEROIC BOY
ACTUALLY WENT BACK
INTO THAT AWFUL DARKNESS
AND SOMEHOW, SOME WAY,
BROUGHT OUR BECKY
OUT TO SAFETY.
NO COMMONPLACE BOY
COULD HAVE DONE THAT,
NO BOY OTHER
THAN THE NOBLE LAD
WHOM I NOW PRESEN TO YOU, TOM SAWYER.
WHERE'S TOM?
WHERE IS HE?
I SAW HIM LEAVE
WITH MASSUH HUCKLEBERRY.
HERE THEY ARE!
I GOT 'EM!
HERE THEY ARE!
THEY'RE RICH!
TOM AND HUCK
ARE RICH!
THEY FOUND
MURRELL'S TREASURE.
EXCELLENT, BOYS.

TOM, YOU'RE A HERO.
DON'T FORGET,
WE'RE ENGAGED.
COME ON, FOLKS.
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE.
