Skull and Double Crossbones

[♪♪♪]
You all set, doctor?
DR. QUEST: All set.
How long do you intend
to remain submerged?
About 20 minutes should do it.
Either of you boys
care to take a ride
in this little mini-sub?
Well, not right now, Dad.
Hadji and I
want to teach Bandit
how to use an aqualung.
It's very important, Dr. Quest.
Don't you think so, Bandit?
[BARKING]
There. You see?
[CHUCKLING] Yes, I see.
Can you read me, Race?
Loud and clear, doctor.
Bon voyage!
I'll contact you
from 30 fathoms.
Right.
Drive carefully, Señor Quest.
Save your breath, José.
He can't hear you.
No,
but it is better if
I say it anyway.
You know, for good luck.
Tell me, Señor Race,
why is Dr. Quest
so interested in fish?
Well, he's trying to
learn something, José.
If Dr. Quest can discover
how ocean creatures adjust
to the tremendous pressures
exerted on them,
we'll make real progress
in deep-sea diving techniques.
I see.
I understand
I think.
Come on, Bandit, old boy.
Stop backing away.
You act like this
mask is gonna bite you.
Yes. Now stop all the nonsense.
[BARKING]
JONNY: That's better.
Now let's put this mask on
and then you're all set
to go diving with Hadji and me.
[MUFFLED BARKING]
[CHUCKLES]
He's nice little dog.
And very intelligent.
Hey.
Hey, little dog.
You want to be
friends with José?
[GROWLING]
He does not like me.
Well, Bandit just takes time
to get accustomed
to new people, José.
Oh, sure.
Once he gets to know
you, he'll be more friendly.
You'll see.
JOSE: Okay. I'll wait.
Now I go fix lunch.
He's sure a nice
man, isn't he, Race?
Seems to be.
Good cook too.
Well, who's for a swim?
Me!
Me too.
[MUFFLED BARKING]
Okay, Bandit, you're included,
but first we'd better
check you out.
JONNY: Don't be nervous, Bandit.
Just take it easy.
Take it easy.
Easy. Easy.
You all right, Bandit?
[MUFFLED BARKING]
Okay. Start swimming.
I'll hold on to the
rope, just in case.
Attaboy, Bandit.
You're doing fine.
I knew it would work.
Race, pull the rope!
Quickly!
Man, that was close.
Are you all right, Bandit?
[BARKING]
RACE: Okay. Come aboard.
Race, am I coming through?
Clear as a bell,
doctor. What's up?
I've got a beauty down here.
Too bad we don't have
some bathroom scales.
Bet he'd run about 3,000 pounds.
That's a really big fish.
I'm going to step out of the sub
and check his heartbeat.
Roger.
All set to receive, doctor.
[HEARTBEAT THUMPING]
Are you getting a reading, Race?
Loud and clear.
Man, he must be a big one.
Say, how about a picture
for our album, doctor?
Right.
Come on, boy.
Let's have a big smile,
and maybe you'll make the cover
of some big fish story magazine.
Thank you.
Uh-oh.
We've got visitors.
Something wrong, sir?
The granddaddy of all sharks
is following me.
I'll try to lose him.
Did you lose him, doctor?
No.
[CHUCKLING] He lost me.
More visitors, Race!
What is it this time, doctor?
Some very rare specimens.
A "Jonny Questisis"
and an Indian turban fish.
And here comes
the rarest specimen of all.
I know, a dogfish.
Right.
Keep it up, Bandit.
You're doing fine.
[MUFFLED BARKING]
Hadji, look!
A porpoise!
How about that?
Bandit's made a new friend.
HADJI: One who can help him
in his present surroundings,
and I see something
that could help us too.
Look.
JONNY: Giant sea
turtles heading for shore!
Are you thinking what
I'm thinking, Jonny?
I'm way ahead of you, Hadji.
Come on.
I wonder
if we could stand
on those turtles.
You mean like a surfboard?
Yeah. You want to try?
You bet!
Look, Jonny. No hands!
Sure beats walking, doesn't it?
A great improvement.
And here comes Bandit
around the clubhouse turn.
[BANDIT BARKING]
All ashore that's going ashore.
[SPLASHING]
JONNY: We made it.
Thank you for the ride, sir.
How did you know
that was a "sir"?
I am too much of a gentleman
to surfboard on a lady turtle.
Okay.
Let's take a breather
and then head back
for the schooner.
Señor Race!
Yes, José?
Lunch, she is ready.
Okay, José.
Thanks. I'll call Dr. Quest.
Schooner to sub.
Schooner to sub.
Quest here.
Lunch is ready, Doctor.
Good. I'm starved.
Be right with you.
Oh, the kids are on the
beach. Better give them a call.
Right.
Guess we ought to
get back, huh, Hadji?
How about it, Bandit?
You ready to do
some more swimming?
[BARKS]
Come on. Let's go.
Look, Jonny.
It's your dad.
I think he wants us.
Jonny! Hadji!
Come on, it's time to get back.
Must be lunchtime.
Come on, let's go.
You go ahead, Dad.
I'd like to swim back.
Okay, son, but don't be long.
I'll have José keep
your lunch warm.
I'll wait for you, Jonny!
Dr. Quest.
Yes, José?
I am very worried
about young Jonny.
Where is he?
He'll be along in
a minute, José.
Hey, Dad! Race!
Look what I found!
Must be something extra special.
What is it, son?
A gold coin.
Take a look, Dad.
Can you tell what kind it is?
Hmm.
Unless I miss my guess,
that's a 17th century
Spanish doubloon.
Wow.
RACE: Say, there's been talk
of a Spanish treasure ship
around here.
Do you suppose Jonny found it?
That's it, Dad.
It must be the old Spanish ship.
Gosh.
Maybe there's
a whole treasure
chest full of gold in it.
Can you find this
ship again, Jonny?
Well, sure.
I know just where it is.
Gosh, Dad,
I bet you there's
a million dollars
waiting to be picked up.
DR. QUEST: Perhaps so, Jonny.
We'll see.
José to the chief.
José to the chief.
Come in, chief.
This is the chief.
What is it, José?
One of the boys
brought up a Spanish doubloon.
It is what we have
been waiting for.
Good.
I will arrive shortly.
Act as if you know nothing.
Yes, chief.
I will act as if I know nothing,
but only for a little while.
[LAUGHING WILDLY]
Looks like we
have visitors, doctor.
Hello!
We need help, señor!
We'll help if we can.
Come alongside.
Thank you, señor.
You are very kind.
What can we do for you?
Señor, you have already done it.
Arriba!
Stand where you are.
José, quick, the gun!
Sí, Señor, I have it.
[LAUGHS]
One move and you are dead.
Now, then, Señor Quest,
let's get down to business.
You tell me where
the treasure is,
and poof, we are
gone in a flash.
Dad doesn't know.
I found it.
JOSÉ: That's right.
You tell me, huh, Jonny?
Nothing doing.
And I thought you
were a nice guy.
But Jonny, I am a nice guy
unless you do not tell me
where you find the
Spanish doubloons.
I won't, and you can't make me.
Oh, it's a pity.
Now Señor Quest will die.
No!
You leave my father alone!
CHIEF: All right.
All you have to do
is show me where
you find gold coins.
You do what I tell you,
everything is fine.
You do not do what I tell you,
everything is bad.
[JOSÉ CACKLES]
That is right.
Do as he says, son.
You have no choice.
There remains
three hours of daylight.
When you find the treasure,
pull on the rope,
but be very careful.
If rope break, or you cut it,
I will be very angry,
and who knows what will
happen to your poor papa.
[LAUGHS]
Now go.
Remember our bargain.
I find the gold
and you let us go.
Right?
Oh, of course, little one.
You have my word.
His word. Oh, brother.
Go ahead, Jonny, and be careful.
I will, Dad.
Enough talk.
Start swimming.
Now we wait
and make ourselves comfortable.
No?
If you get the treasure,
do you think you'll
be able to use it?
Ah, sí, Señor Quest.
Gold is gold,
no matter what its shape.
There are always people
who are ready to buy it
and no questions asked.
Except by the police.
Police?
[LAUGHS]
Do you think I
am afraid of them?
Don't make me laugh.
JOSÉ: Chief, look!
Talk about the devils
and they are here.
It is the police boat.
So I see.
Stay by the rope, José.
Sí!
Manuel! Francisco!
Keep out of sight,
but keep the guns ready.
As for you, Dr. Quest,
act as if nothing is wrong.
We do not want
anything to happen
to little Jonny, sí?
Don't worry.
I'll play your little game.
But, doctor, with
the police here
We can do nothing.
Go along with it, Race.
Afternoon, doctor!
How goes the research?
Just fine, superintendent.
Coming along fine.
Well, say,
how about you and Mr. Bannon
joining me for dinner tonight?
Tonight?
Well, uh I
don't think we
can make it tonight,
but thanks anyway.
[YAPS]
Well, hello there, pup.
Sounds like he's
trying to say something.
Too bad he can't, Mr. Owens.
He'd have a lot to tell you.
[OWENS LAUGHS]
Well, I'm sure he has.
Well, cheerio.
See you soon.
[BARKING]
You think he suspect anything?
[CHUCKLES]
No. No.
Like all policeman,
he is a fool.
He suspects nothing.
Chief! Chief!
The boy find something, maybe.
JOSE: It is a fortune.
CHIEF: Oh, that
is only a small part.
The boy said
there is more below.
Hey, Manuel!
Lock everybody in the cabin!
Sí!
All right, move.
Take it easy, buster.
How long do you
think we have, doctor?
Our value ends as soon
as the last of the
treasure is recovered.
So if we do anything, it
has to be now or never.
That's about the size of it.
The porthole is too small
for me to get through.
JONNY: But not me.
Or me.
I spoke first, Hadji.
But you are tired
from all that diving
and I am not.
Please, Dr. Quest.
It is my turn to do something.
What do you think, Race?
Well, Hadji is a good swimmer.
The best.
I could swim to shore easy
and be back with the
police long before daylight.
All right, Hadji.
Let's give it a try.
There is a sailor
on guard above us.
[CHUCKLES]
Five for me, one for you.
All right, José?
[CHUCKLING] That
is fair enough, chief.
Hey, where you think you go?
[LAUGHS]
Let me go! Let me go!
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey, Señor Quest. Look.
I find a little fish outside.
I throw him back in.
Sí?
[LAUGHING]
Oh, you're great, buster.
I'll bet you can lick
any kid half your size.
I'm sorry.
He caught me
before I could jump.
[BANDIT BARKING]
Hey.
Pretty tough dog, eh?
Don't you hurt
Bandit, you big bully.
Easy, Jonny. Easy.
I think I take dog
for a little walk, yes?
And you stay here.
Hey, come back here!
Bring my dog back!
Don't you hurt him, you big ape!
[GROWLING]
You take nice, long walk,
all right?
On the bottom of the ocean.
Goodbye, dog.
[LAUGHS]
[YELPS]
[BANDIT SPLASHES]
Oh, no.
He dropped Bandit overboard.
[BARKING]
Quick, Hadji.
Bandit's diving gear.
Here it is.
Maybe Bandit can
succeed where I failed.
Bandit.
[BARKING]
Here boy. Here boy.
Attaboy, Bandit.
Now go get Superintendent Owens.
Quick!
[SQUEAKS]
[MUFFLED BARKING]
[MUFFLED BARKING]
Inspector Owens, look!
By Jove, that's a dog,
and a dolphin with it!
Lower the launch,
and bring that hotrodder aboard.
Aye, aye, sir.
There he is.
Be careful, helmsman.
[MUFFLED BARKING]
HELMSMAN: Okay,
fella. Easy does it.
Here he is, sir.
Odd looking fish, isn't he?
Yes.
I say, isn't that the Quest dog?
[MUFFLED BARKS]
By Jove, it is.
And he's still trying
to tell me something.
All right, old fellow.
Let's go back
and see if anything's wrong.
Switch on the beam.
Aye, aye, sir.
There she is.
The police!
They're playing rough, sir.
Turn off the beam.
Helmsman, hit the siren.
[SIREN WAILING]
[SIREN APPROACHING]
That's Superintendent Owens.
He did it.
Bandit got through.
And now, as you say,
"Here comes the
marines to the rescue."
You fool.
You had no reason to shoot.
They suspected nothing.
José.
Yes, chief?
We will make a run for it
in our boat.
Is the treasure aboard?
Sí.
Someone's leaving in a hurry.
Full throttle, helmsman.
They mustn't get away.
Attaboy, inspector!
After them!
Try to stop them, Manuel.
[BULLETS PINGING]
Forward gun, you may open fire.
They are gaining on us!
Faster, José!
The throttle is wide open.
She cannot go any faster.
Make this one count, gunner.
Aye, aye, sir!
Look.
We must have hit the gas tank.
Stand by to pick up survivors.
Aye, aye, sir.
And that's the story,
superintendent.
Apparently,
José was planted on our vessel
on a chance
that we might find the treasure.
Jonny did, and we
were taken prisoners.
We owe our lives to
you, superintendent,
and we are all grateful.
Nonsense.
Your pup there is the real hero.
Take a bow, Bandit.
[YIPS]
Ironic, isn't it,
blowing up their boat
and sending that treasure
chest right back to the bottom?
Well, at least your government
will know where to find it.
Well, we have you people
to thank for that.
Now, you stay aboard, hero,
because we're going swimming.
[BARKS]
You cannot swim fast enough
to keep up with us, Mr. Hero.
That's right, Bandit.
You better stay here.
Jonny, no matter what you find,
don't bring it back.
[JONNY LAUGHS]
Don't worry, Dad.
I'll race you to
the island, Hadji.
Okay, let's go.
[BANDIT BARKING]
Jonny, look.
HADJI: Did we say
Bandit cannot swim fast enough?
How do you like that?
[BARKS]
[BARKING]
I guess we owe
Bandit an apology.
[BARKING]
