Jonny Quest (1964) s01e19 Episode Script

Attack of the Tree People

1
[♪♪♪]
If the wind holds off,
we may have time
to finish our game.
Your move, Race.
[LAUGHS]
Doctor, I think you've
got me cornered.
Looks like I've got
you cornered too, Hadji.
I don't think so.
Hey, I didn't see that.
But I did.
Oh, boy, I think
I'll play Bandit next.
Maybe I can win one game.
[SNORING]
[SNIFFING]
[BARKING FRANTICALLY]
[SNIFFING]
It smells like smoke.
It sure does.
Jonny, Hadji! Up on deck.
JONNY: We're up here, Dad.
I also smell fire.
You boys look aft.
Dr. Quest, take the port side.
I'll check the galley.
Too late, Race.
These extinguishers
won't do any good now.
Afraid you're right.
We won't have
time for the lifeboats.
Everybody into life jackets.
[BANDIT BARKING]
JONNY: You, too, Bandit.
All right, boys, in you go.
Swim as far away from
the boat as you can.
All set, doctor?
After you, Race.
I'll miss you, old friend.
She'll go any second now.
How about the boys.
Where are they?
I'm sure
they're okay, doctor.
[BANDIT BARKING]
That was Bandit.
Jonny! Hadji! Over here!
Try to save your energy, sir.
[BARKING]
Let's swim in the
direction of that barking.
I pray they'll be all right.
They will be, doctor.
They've got good
heads on their shoulders.
What could have
happened to the boys?
I can't understand it.
They probably tried to find us
and went in the wrong direction.
Luckily, the sea is calm.
Look!
RACE: Over here! Over here!
We're in luck,
doctor. They see us.
I hope they picked up the boys.
We go about to pick you up.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
Dr. Quest, our ship's radio
is broadcasting the SOS.
Within the hour,
every ship in the area
will be on the lookout
for your boys.
Thank you, captain.
We will also cruise the islands.
They may have drifted ashore.
Lucky for us we
found this island.
I just hope Dad
and Race are okay.
Do not worry. I am
sure they are safe.
Where's Bandit?
Over there, resting.
He is tired from
all the swimming.
[SNORING]
[YELPS]
Hey, freshly hatched turtles.
And look.
They go straight for the ocean.
[GROWLS]
[BOYS LAUGHING]
[BARKS]
The baby turtles think
Bandit's their mother!
[YELPS]
HADJI: Hey, that's no way
for a mother to act.
[BOYS LAUGHING]
It doesn't look like much,
but it's better than nothing.
It needs a head.
Every smart scarecrow
needs a head.
That's the first one
that ever had a coconut head.
Boy, he's sure homely.
We want him to
attract attention,
not win a beauty prize.
There.
How about this jacket?
Very good.
Now he looks better fed.
I don't blame you, Bandit.
It's pretty scary-looking.
I don't know.
I think he has a kind face.
Well, if Dad and Race
ever hit this part of shore,
they'll know we're around.
We hope.
Say, I'm hungry.
So am I.
[BANDIT BARKS]
And so is Bandit.
There's nothing new about that.
JONNY: Come on,
let's do a little exploring.
Maybe we can find
something to eat.
HADJI: That is a good idea.
[BARKING]
No sign, Dr. Quest.
We must keep searching.
Don't worry, doctor.
We'll find them.
Hey, Hadji.
You ever have a feeling
somebody was staring
over your shoulder at you?
Not lately. Why?
I have it now.
You are imagining, Jonny.
Maybe but do
you hear anything?
[DEEP GROWLING] No, Jonny.
I don't hear a thing.
I can't help feeling
we've got company.
[SQUAWKS]
Your imagination has feathers.
Yeah.
And I have goose bumps.
Hadji!
You know that
imagination of mine?
Yes?
Well, we're
looking at some of it
right now.
Uh hi.
I do not think they
speak our language.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
JONNY: Well, I don't think
I speak their language, either.
You think that is
a friendly sound?
You got me.
No, they've got you
and me surrounded.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Who? Me, Jonny. Him, Hadji.
Remind me to laugh
if we get out of this
in one piece.
[GROWLING]
[BARKING]
[GRUNTS]
[YELPS]
Hey, let go!
Cut it out!
Come on. Let me loose!
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
JONNY: It's okay, Bandit.
Just close your eyes.
I just hope none of these guys
have butterfingers.
Hold on tight, my friends.
Hey, you okay, Hadj?
I I guess so. How
about you, Jonny?
Uh-huh.
[BANDIT BARKING]
And Bandit's all right.
Wow.
It looks like a
mile straight down!
What happened
to our ape friends?
Where did they go?
I don't know.
Maybe it was time for their
coffee break or something.
DR. QUEST: I certainly
can't expect you
to search all day, captain.
You have your ship's cargo
to think about.
I too am a father, Dr. Quest.
We will search a while longer
and continue to
broadcast the SOS.
Anything on the
short-wave, Chopper?
Like what, mate?
Information as to
the whereabouts
of a blooming herd of elephants
just waiting for us to come
and take their ivory?
Ah, stow it!
Is it my fault we ain't
seen hide nor hair
of the beasties
for the past six weeks?
Well, it ain't mine, neither.
We should've stuck to
running guns like I wanted.
Ah! We made more
out of our first stack of tusks
then we ever made runnin' guns,
and you know it.
Well, I don't know,
but at least we
never run out of guns
like we have elephants!
[CLICKS ON]
ANNOUNCER: We repeat:
anyone having knowledge
of the whereabouts
of Dr. Quest's son, Jonny,
and his companion, Hadji
That's H-A-D-J-I
Communicate with
your district authorities.
Dr. Quest is offering a reward.
Reward?
Ah, that's a horse
of a different color.
Yes. Green.
[BOTH LAUGH]
The boys, wearing life jackets,
may have drifted ashore and
[CLICKS OFF]
Them ruddy brats just might
mean money to us, Chopper.
How much reward do
you think he's offering?
Who knows?
I got me mind on something
besides a reward.
Like what?
Come on, what's on your mind?
Heh, heh. What's always on it?
Money, chum.
Pounds, shillings, and pence.
Come on. Let's see
if them little lost sheep
might've washed up ashore here.
[BOTH LAUGH]
How much longer are
we going to stay here?
I just wanted to be sure our
treetop friends were gone.
Come on, let's go.
[BARKS]
HADJI: Hey, why do you suppose
those apes went off and left us?
Oh, they got bored.
Monkeys don't stick
with any one thing very long.
Jonny.
Yeah?
Look below.
There's a couple that
seem to be sticking.
Hold it, Hadji.
Maybe we can swing past 'em.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[THUD]
We made it.
Now to sneak away
through the bushes.
[BARKING]
HADJI: No noise, Bandit.
Over here, Hadji. I found a log.
Maybe we can
drift downriver on it.
Well, this is one place
those apes can't follow us.
Jonny, look!
What's the matt
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Don't you guys ever change
your punchline?
Hey!
Cut it out, you big ape!
Jonny, I cannot hold on.
Neither can I!
Well, here we are again.
Maybe they think
we like climbing trees.
Yeah, but not this high.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
They've gone again.
Yeah. Probably
to a lodge meeting.
Well, now's our chance.
JONNY: Hey, this isn't bad.
I too am getting to like it.
Hadji, they're pulling us up!
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Don't fight it,
Jonny. They love us.
Yeah, might as
well join the party.
JONNY: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
ALL: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[HOWLS]
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Dr. Quest, I regret
I understand, captain.
I can't expect any
more of your time.
RACE: Doctor!
Take a look.
You see anything over
there on that island?
I see something.
It looks like a dummy
or a scarecrow.
Here, you take a look, Race.
Doctor, that's one
of our life jackets!
The boys must have left it
as a marker for us.
[SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE]
We will go ashore, Dr. Quest.
We had good
luck after all, yeah?
DR. QUEST: Thanks
to you, captain.
You have sufficient
arms and supplies,
a first aid kit,
and transmitter.
I will notify the
authorities in Umphiti.
They will send a boat.
Good luck.
Thanks again, captain.
Well, Race, which way?
Well, if these tracks
mean anything,
they lead straight
into the jungle.
That's the boys, all right.
Still doing things the hard way.
Oh, let's give up, mate.
How much longer we gonna hunt
for them bloomin' brats?
Till we find 'em.
Like a ruddy needle in
a haystack, more likely.
I'm beat. You find 'em.
You claim the reward.
I give you my half willingly.
[WHISPERING] Shut up!
What is it?
I thought I heard some
[JONNY AND HADJI LAUGHING]
There it is again.
I'm a ruddy blinking ostrich
if that ain't kids laughin'.
Come on.
I'm with you, governor.
Over here.
[BOYS LAUGHING]
Hey, that looks easy.
Maybe for them.
Us too, Hadji.
All you gotta do is swing
across and then back.
You show me.
Okay, here goes.
Oops!
[BANDIT BARKING]
HADJI: Bandit says
you made a monkey of yourself.
Yeah, but those
guys were born to it.
"Guys"? They're monkeys.
Shh. You know it, and I know it,
but they don't know it.
[BOYS LAUGHING]
That's them, all
right. Let's go.
Quiet.
You'll never learn to use
your bloomin' head, will you?
You want to rile them apes?
They could tear us
apart, limb from limb.
We got to sneak up on 'em.
Maybe we ought to
just claim the reward.
Chicken feed.
That Dr. Quest'll pay a fortune
to get 'em back in one piece.
Ransom, Chopper.
That's the ticket.
Ransom money.
Silky, oh, you're a
smart one, you are.
[HADJI LAUGHING]
[CHOPPER GRUNTS]
[CRASHES INTO GROUND]
Ooh, what hit me? What hit me?
Must have been a ruddy cyclone.
JONNY: What's all the activity?
These monkeys are
swinging all over the place.
HADJI: I don't know, Jonny.
Maybe it's some kind
of game they're playing.
Smart aleck, dumb ape.
No shootin' till I
give the word, see?
I gotcha, I gotcha.
This is the life, huh, Jonny?
Yeah, it's gonna be a shame
to leave it and go home.
If they ever find us.
Oh, they will.
It is a big jungle.
HADJI: Maybe they
never saw our scarecrow.
All right.
Now!
APES: Hoo! Hoo!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Take cover, Hadji.
That's it, mate.
Over their heads!
[GUNSHOTS CONTINUE]
Rifle shots, Race,
from that direction.
Might be a signal, doctor.
Let's go.
Hear that? Could
be a rescue party.
We'd better hurry.
After 'em, fast.
I wonder who was doing
all the shooting.
Just us, little chum.
Run, Hadji!
Chopper!
Don't let 'em get away.
I've got one of 'em, Silky.
Where am I?
The World's Fair, chum,
and I'm your ruddy guide.
Now, on your feet.
Might as well come
out of hidin', boy.
We got your chum.
Won't do you no good to hide.
We'll find you.
I'll give you three to come out,
or we'll start playin' rough
with your little playmate here.
[CHOPPER GRUNTING]
Very clever, laddie.
Now tell your chum to come out,
or I'll get Chopper there
to take care of you.
It'll be a pleasure.
HADJI: Do not hurt
him. I will come out.
I will not run away.
What do we do
with the brats, Silky?
Take 'em to the cave.
Then we'll start checkin'
on the shortwave.
All right, come on. Get movin'.
Judo me, will you?
Anthropoid tracks,
all right, Race,
but not much of a clue
to the boys.
Hold it.
Look at this.
DR. QUEST: That's
Jonny's footprint, all right.
Thank heaven he's alive.
Let's hope Hadji's with him.
We'll find them. Let's hurry.
SILKY: Hold it.
Hold it right there
and drop the old blunderbusses.
We better do as he says, Race.
Now your belts
and hardware.
Now, who might you two be?
I am Dr. Benton Quest,
and this is Race Bannon.
You the bloke what
lost a couple of brats?
Yes, you've seen them?
I might have.
How much is it worth to you?
If you heard the shortwave,
you know Dr. Quest
is offering a reward.
Reward.
[LAUGHS]
Don't make me
laugh out loud, chum.
How much is it worth
to the ruddy doctor
to see his kid in one piece?
Why, you
Go ahead, chum.
I ain't had enough
target practice today.
Now I've got your brats,
and you've got a
lot of lovely money.
Why don't we trade?
That's kidnapping, you know.
Do tell.
How much,
Dr. Whatever-your-name-is?
You can have whatever I've got,
as long as the
boys are all right.
Oh, what do you take me
for, a blinkin' pickpocket?
I don't want peanuts.
I want money.
Say, 20,000 pounds of it.
Sixty thousand dollars.
Sounds beautiful, don't it?
Well, speak up, mate!
I I don't know
where I could
possibly raise that
Ah, don't give me that.
You've got important
friends, I'll wager.
Call 'em up on the shortwave.
They'll come through.
Why, with your connections,
they'll fly in with the money.
Now, get crackin'.
[LAUGHS]
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[SNORING]
Wow, listen to that.
How noisy can you get?
Quiet, Jonny. Look at that.
[SNORING CONTINUES]
What's that?
Oh, me gun. Who
stole me ruddy rifle?
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Call off your friends, mate.
I I meant no harm.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Go on. Tell 'em I
haven't touched you.
You tell 'em while
you're untying us.
Oh, sure thing, little pal.
Anything you say.
We'd better tie him up, Jonny.
I don't think that'll
be necessary, Hadji.
[GRUNTING]
DR. QUEST: Yes, I
believe the boys are safe.
Yes, I will be
greatly in your debt.
It's extremely urgent
to deliver the
money immediately.
Thank you.
He is willing to put
up the other 25,000.
See, I told you.
Never mind that.
Where are the boys?
Yes, take us to them.
Uh-uh-uh, easy now.
First things first.
Any funny business
at the airport
and you know
what'll happen here.
There'll be no funny business.
The money will be flown in
for you to pick up.
Just so's we understand
each other, chum.
Chopper said their camp
was over this way.
HADJI: Too bad "Hoo
Hoo" ruined the rifle.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
JONNY: Yeah, we
could have used it.
How long do you intend
to keep us tied up here?
When my partner gets back,
I'll leave for the
airport and the money.
Don't be impatient out there.
Think what a nice
suntan you're gettin'.
[LAUGHS]
Hey, Jonny, I see Race.
And there's Dad.
The other guy must
be inside the tent.
Come on, now's our chance.
I hope they understand.
We'll find out soon.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[SILKY SCREAMS]
[SILKY SHOUTING]
Let me out! Let me out!
Thank goodness you're safe.
Great work, boys.
Well, thanks, but
these friends of ours
deserve all the credit.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
SILKY: Let me out! Let me out!
JONNY: Shall we
let him out, Race?
Oh, no, let your
friends have their fun.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
RACE: All set?
Well, let's shove off.
The commissioner will
be happy to see those two.
They've been wanted a long time.
Hey, fellows.
There's some friends of
yours come to say goodbye.
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
[BARKS]
So long, fellows.
Thanks for everything.
Well, that's not the
way to say goodbye.
Yes, you are right.
JONNY AND HADJI: Hoo!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
APES: Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
