Oh, don't go, Ruby. Have another drink.
Nope, only one door customer.

Oh, Ruby.

Oh, Pete.

Come on, Ruby. Sit down. Have a drink.
No, thanks. I never travel steered.

How's it going?

Fine, baby. Hello, Ruby.

I'll buy a drink.

Come on. It ain't the first time. All
right.

You're looking swell.

Singapore Swing. Whiskey.

Well, that reminds me... Hey, don't give
me that.

Sit down.

What's the matter with me?

You ain't good company even when you got
money.

That's all a dame like you thinks about,
money.

Well, it ain't a bad thought.

You ain't going nowhere.

If I was good enough to drink with last
week, I'm good enough to drink with now.

out of my hair, the better.

Seeking fresh fields to conquer, eh,
Ruby?

Not having your education, Mr. Williams,
I'd say I'm just plain homesick for

Shanghai.

You don't carry passengers on that
packet of yours, do you, Buckle?

Well, I might.

If I could get an answer to a couple of
questions, we might all be going to

Shanghai. Well, ask me. I know
everything.

Really? Well, do you know why Black Mike
Rafferty is loading his schooner to

take a Portuguese sailor by the name of
Farrell on a long cruise?

Oh, what's that got to do with Shanghai?

Black Mike smells pearls.

Well, he's had more luck in finding
virgin pearl beds than any man on the

of China.

And he's not the type to take a six
-month cruise just for the sake of his

health.

And he don't talk.

Hey, now you're a smart girl, Ruby.

And I've got a hunch that if you can get
that Farrell to talk...

Why, Shanghai would only be the
beginning for you and me.

But there's other countries in the world
besides China.

And real jewelry instead of that junk
you're wearing.

Yeah, so I heard tell.

Is Farrell that Portuguese with the
knife scar on his cheek? Yes, he's a

gentleman. It's funny, he's been trying
to talk to me all week. Oh, has he? Has

he?

Yeah.

I'll be back.

Hello, sailor.

Expecting somebody?

No. No.

Only my partner, Black Mike Lafferty.
Black Mike? I didn't know Black Mike

partners. He took me.

We're going on a voyage together.

On business.

Good luck.

Two double brandies. The best.

A girl like you should have only the
best.

A man like me would see that she got it.

With what?

Don't laugh.

When I come back from this cruise, I'm
going to be a rich man.

Say, Black Mike's a pretty tough
customer. I hope you ain't been telling

fairy tales.

There ain't no fairy tales.

Look.

Look at this.

There are hundreds more where that came
from.

And I'm the only man that knows where it
came from.

I bet that's worth $2 ,000.

More, much more.

You sail with me, Chiquita, you could
have a rope of pearls down to your

One down to here wouldn't be so bad.

Oh, that's the kind of breaks I get.

I'm going on a cruise with a friend of
mine, Bucko Larson.

But I don't expect no rope of pearls.

You? Go to sea?

Sure, anything to get away from this
place.

Hello, Bucko.

Oh, hello, Ruby. We was just talking
about you. Me, Mr. Farrell.

Captain Larson.

Mr. Williams.

How do you do?

Mr. Farrell just showed me something
that'd knock your eye out.

Hey, show Captain Larson that, will you?

Not bad.

That's a fine specimen.

Mr. Farrell is partners with Black Mike
Rafferty. Oh, not Black Mike.

Yeah, sure, they're going on a cruise
together after more of the same thing.

Mr. Farrell knows where there's a
hundred more like them.

I thought Black Mike had some sense.

Every stranded sailor on the beach knows
where there's a fortune in pearls.

Yeah? Where do you think I get this one?
Oh, you probably stole it.

That's right.

From the only man in the world except me
that knew where it came from.

Me and him were shipmates together on a
schooner that got blown off her course

in the South Seas.

We put it in an uncharted island down
at... Well, somewhere south of Pango

Pango.

That's where this came from.

But she was a bad luck ship.

Fever broke out on the island. Not half
the crew flat.

We put to sea with only me and him fit
to stand watch.

When a squall came up and tore the
sticks out of her, we got away in a

and him in a pearl.

But one night, there was only me in that
pearl.

Black Mike, huh?

And after you went through all that,
just too bad.

Goodbye, Mr. Farrell. Goodbye.

What's the matter with Black Mike
Larson?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

Except that he'd steal the pennies out
of a dead man's eyes. No, but he can't

steal from me. I get 25 % of the
profits.

What? Only 25 %?

Well, there you are. Yeah, but he puts
in the ship and the stores. Yeah, but

give you a third.

Third?

You say you were sailing with Captain
Larson?

Sure. When?

Well... Tonight.

Yeah, sure, tonight.

Look.

You said a third, didn't you?

All right, I'll sail with you and Ruby
if you promise to go where I tell you

Okay. It's a deal.

You can thank your lucky stars you're
signing on with a gentleman instead of

that double -crossing black Mike
Rafferty.

We'll have a drink on it. Oh,

hello, Mike.

What are you doing with those pills,
Ruby? Oh, you... my partner, do you, Mr.

Farrell? Your partner? Yeah.

We're going after pearls.

Here, show him that pearl, will you?
Why, you slam -covered double -crosser.

Them two is getting kind of warm, ain't
they?

Keep an eye on that commiss card.

I wish I was sure of where we're going,
the sheath of what she's doing.

We ought to be sighting Manoa soon, huh,
Manuel?

Sure. Today, if the breeze holds out.

Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah, Larson's getting kind of worried
because we've only got enough water for

another week.

But like I keep telling him, you ain't
the one to make a mistake.

Hey, let me see that pearl again, will
you?

Sure, Chiquita, sure.

Every time I see that, I feel better.

You're an awful shock to me if those
others ain't there.

Plenty there.

Wait till we get to Manoa, you'll find
out.

This may be just a pearl to you.

To me, it's a carriage in abundant
Shanghai.

There's a couple of black horses and a
parasol out behind.

And me there with you, Chiquita.

With a black silk hat and a big cigar in
my mouth.

Diamond horseshoe in my necktie.

Maybe we'd better have four horses in
that carriage.

I'm so excited. I feel like a greenhorn
making his first landfall.

Look, Manuel.

Go forward and keep a sharp lookout for
that volcano, will you? I can't trust

the rest of them, Lubbers.

Sure, Baco.

Sure.

What's the story?

He says we'll be sighting Manoa today or
tomorrow.

We'd better.

I'm tired of being a diplomat. Captain
Larson!

Captain Larson!

There's a smudge of something on the
horizon, but I can't make it out.

We're away.

There she lies, Manoa.

Off the scabbard bow.

That's it.

Oh, no, take it.

There she is, Manoa.

How'd you know that? How do I know?

That smoke is the volcano on Motuatua.
The island to the left is Manoa.

Are you sure?

Sure, sure.

I gave you the latitude and longitude
before we leave Singapore, didn't I?

at it, ain't we?

Yeah, we're at it.

It's only a volcano, all right. And the
pearls are there, too.

Didn't I say you were a great navigator?

Let me see that pearl again.

There.

Better than putting.

that I should only get a third share.

They're my pearls, ain't they?

I brought you here, didn't I?

You ought to get at least half.

What do you think, Williams?

I think you ought to give it to him.

Well, I'm the lad that'll see you get
everything that's coming to you.

accident that I've ever seen.

I wanted to throw him to the sharks ever
since we left Singapore.

It wouldn't surprise me none of the
sharks threw him back.

I thought you was going to claim he
pulled a knife on you.

But I hollered man overboard, didn't I?

And loud, too.

good for nothing?

Why don't you throw coconuts like the
other monkeys?

Honey, you have been too long in the
sun.

I have done nothing. And for doing
nothing, I think you will stay up there

the wind blows you to the lagoon like a
ripe mango.

It is not a monkey, but a little fly
that keeps buzzing around me all the

What are you doing in my canoe?

Your canoe? Why, that was our canoe.

Why should I be building a canoe for us?

For our voyage to Matua Tua, to the
altar of Pele.

Why would I want to voyage to the altar
of Pele?

I thought you were building this canoe
for us.

I am building this canoe for catching
fish.

Fish?

I want the bride's flower in my hair for
you.

Hoping you would carry me off to Matua
Tua. Then you tell me this canoe is for

fish.

Oh, I hate you.

Now do you hate me?

Well, not so much.

reception committee headed this way,
sir.

Shall I break out the rifles?

No. How many times have I got to tell
you?

Natives are like kids.

You've got to play with them.

Rifles is no good for coming in anyway.

What if they're coming out?

I told you to wait for the other
children.

monkeys. Oh, and this is Malin, who
swims after me like a fish.

Oh, that's fine.

I'm mighty glad to meet you, Chief.

I'm Captain Larson.

Shake. Shake?

Sure, shake.

Oh, shake.

Oh, star fella.

This is my mate, Mr. Williams.

How do you do? Mr. Grimes.

Hello.

This is Miss Taylor, a passenger for
Shanghai.

Shake.

Your skin is white,

like a cloud.

And your hair is golden, like the sky at
dawn.

Well, it's been described before, but
not like that.

I did not expect to find a woman aboard.

You're quite a surprise yourself.

All we need now is divers.

Kahani will see that we get them.

So be nice to them, like I told you.

They're just like kids.

I get it.

You want me to mother him a little.

You sure put your heart in your dancing,
don't you, Chief?

I dance for you.

Glad heart makes glad feet.

I am happy you came.

You don't know how happy I am to be
here.

This island's the first thing I've sat
on in weeks.

It hasn't rocked.

You are the first white girl I have ever
seen.

Now I know why my ancestors believed
that the first white people that came to

Manoa were gods.

Well, have I waited all my life and then
got me?

I'm going to be kind of disappointed.

You are beautiful.

I've been looking at your bracelet.

That's beautiful.

Pearls, ain't they?

Yes, you like it?

You mean you're giving it to me?

Among my people, if you admire
something, it becomes yours.

Well, it's a nice custom.

to be a surprise party.

Neither did I.

I thought we were going to have this
rock to ourselves.

Forgive me, Chief, for being late for
dinner.

It's the usual custom in the world I
came from.

You can't expect me to forget all my bad
manners in nine years.

This is our white brother, Vincy, who
came to us many moons ago.

All right.

I wasn't expecting to see another white
man on Manoa.

That makes us even. Neither was I.

I haven't laid eyes on a white man in
nine years.

Thank heaven.

There's a nice hat for you.

Now, look here. Now, don't crowd.
There's plenty of presents for

Here you are.

Would you like another one, please?
Here's something for you.

You'll like that.

No, no, no. That dress is too small.

Is this your boy?

He looks like a good swimmer. Like a
fish?

You can keep it.

For nothing?

Or maybe you can show us how good you
can dive.

I knew them cuckoo cuffs would knock him
dead.

My people, thank you very much.

Oh, that's nothing.

Captain Larson has given us many fine
presents.

We can show him we are grateful.

He needs divers for his work. Diving is
not work. It is play.

I will dive.

Didn't I tell you to work?

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Not a
bad trade, pants for pearls.

There's nothing like making folks happy.

Is there a soft spot in your heart?

A million oysters.

All we get is a dollar and a quarter's
worth of seed pearls.

What makes oysters so stubborn?

Think when you stick a knife in them,
they're open.

Look at them, sneering at us.

Oh, I'm getting so ashamed I can't look
another oyster in the eye.

We ought to go back and die for Pharaoh.

According to him, every oyster had a
pearl.

Oysters like to make it tough.

First, unless they've got a bellyache,
there's no pearl in them.

And if there is a pearl in them, they
sneak out into deep water and sulk.

There's only one thing to do.

We've got to move into deeper water.

Right?

Right.

Beautiful, ain't it?

Like a ladder all the way up to the sky.

It's called the Fountain of Tears.

Tears?

It's funny.

First time I've heard that word since
I've been here.

It's a legend.

Two old warriors who had always hated
each other met here over the grave of a

friend.

They wept and their tears washed away
the memory of their hate.

Then they wept again.

Why? Because they lost a friend?

Oh, no.

Because of the years they had wasted on
their hate.

Haley caught those tears and imprisoned
them in a waterfall.

For all men to see and understand.

My mother told me the story.

Why do you look at me like that?

I don't know.

Maybe it's because I never heard anybody
talk like that before.

You know, you've got a funny way of
making people feel that they've known

all their lives.

You've told me so much about your
mother, I feel as if I knew her.

Your mother must have been very
beautiful.

What was she like?

My mother?

Oh, I don't know.

From what I hear, she was a lady from
France who found herself in China.

And your father?

Well, just blame the whole thing on
China.

I'm sorry.

You must have been very lonely, having
no one close to you.

It's funny.

A couple of weeks ago I would have
insulted anybody who felt sorry for me.

I figured I could take care of myself.

I didn't need anybody.

Well, Noah is like a big family.

Everyone looks after everyone else.

That's why no one is hungry or lonely.

Where I come from, everybody's so busy
looking after themselves, they haven't

got time for anybody else.

You and Manoa make Shanghai seem as far
away as the moon.

The water is too deep.

Moved?

Why, so we have.

We must have dragged a little in the
knife.

But this ain't too deep.

A couple of feet more, maybe.

What's that to a lot of strong young
boys like you?

But we are afraid.

Afraid? Well, now, that's going to be
mighty sad news for Kahani when he finds

out that you boys are nothing but a
bunch of old women.

When right along he's been telling me
that you're the finest divers in the

world.

I'm not afraid.

Ah, that's the way to talk, son.

Over you go.

No, no.

It is to this.

Deep water.

Keep working on him. He'll be alright.

Luna, back to the village.

Blow me down.

Look what I found in Homer's basket.
Give me that.

Look, here's another one.

That shark bait fellow was right. This
is where they are. Didn't I tell you we

were wasting time in shallow water?

Here.

Just my luck. I find a gold mine, and
then them babies start getting the

Hey, give me that basket.

I was coming out to your boat to talk to
you. We came ashore because we were

worried about that boy, Hono.

Yes, it's too bad.

Hono's a nice boy.

Maybe it's something he ate.

How is he?

Hono is dead.

And from the diver sickness.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Boy, I thought as much of that boy as if
he was my own son.

I would have seen him hurt for the
world.

I feel kind of guilty.

Well, maybe you could do something for
his mother.

Why, sure.

Can you give her back her son?

You trust me, Chief.

I'll see that it never happens again.

No.

I will see that it does not happen
again.

There will be no more diving for pearls.

I have placed a taboo on diving.

We appreciate how you feel. Why, sure,
Chief.

Anything you say goes.

Shape.

Well, that's that.

Oh, no, it ain't.

No taboo will ever stop... I could last
him from getting anything he went after.

Ruby!

What are you doing?

I figured we'd be leaving, so I'm
packing my trunk.

Leaving?

What gave you that silly idea?

We just came.

What's the use of hanging around here
with a taboo on pearls?

Well,

you don't think we're going to quit on
account of a taboo, do you?

Hey, look at these.

Sure, they're swell. That means a lot of
dough to spend in Shanghai.

You're a little anxious to get away,
aren't you?

Look, boys, I'm a gal who believes in
take a little, leave a little. These

islanders are pretty nice folks.

We've had a nice time.

We got what we came for.

So let's be satisfied and get out of
here before the trouble starts.

But to leave here with a dozen pearls is
like owning a diamond mine and only

taking out three diamonds.

I figured it'd save us a lot of trouble
if we could get rid of Kahani for about

a week.

By then, we'd have the bottom ripped out
of this harbor.

What's Kahani got to do with it? He's
only one man. Well, you don't

Ruby. An army without a general isn't
dangerous.

That's it.

We know how to handle the rest of the
natives.

If you know how to handle Kahani.

I get it.

Sure you do.

I'll see what I can do.

Malia does not like to walk anymore.

Malia's fish has been caught.

the water right.

It's like sitting on feathers.

I hope they're not porcupine feathers.

the bride's flower before she became a
bride.

That is because I do not like flowers.
Or is it because Kehani holds the white

girl like an octopus?

She's only being polite to a guest.

A guest who leaves no room in Kehani's
house for Malia? You are jealous because

none of you can ever live in Kehani's
house.

Oh, I feel like a water spaniel.

awful hard saying goodbye to all this.

Goodbye?

Yeah. I've been so happy here.

That's why it'll be hard to forget
everything.

And you.

Why should you even think of saying
goodbye?

Well, Larson says with the taboo on
pearls, we might as well shove off.

Of course, I'll go along with him.

But you are not like Larson.

You did not come here for pearls.

There is no reason for you to go.

You forget they're my friends.

I cannot bear the thought of saying
goodbye to you.

Or how it would feel to see you leave
me.

Oh, you'll forget all about me.

The minute that boat gets out of sight,
everything here will be just like it was

before I came.

You'll have your people and your father
and Malia.

If I let Larson go without me, I'd have
nobody here.

So you see, I got no reason to stay.

I'll give you a reason.

I love you.

Do you want me to leave my friends for
you?

For us.

And after they go, what?

Didn't you tell me on Manau when two
people are in love, the boy takes the

in his arms and carries her off to Matua
Tua?

And they stay there for a while?

Is that what we would do?

Yes.

We would stand in front of Pele's altar
to ask his blessing on our love.

And after many days, we would return to
live the rest of our lives together.

Will you go with me?

Congratulations, Miss Taylor. You're a
genius. We expected you to use your

influence with Kahani, but we didn't
expect a wedding.

Maybe I didn't either.

Well, here's to the happy brine. You
know, boys, I've worked on percentage in

half the honky -tonks on the coast of
China.

I've rolled drunks from Penang to
Peking.

I guess there ain't much I haven't done.

This is the first time in my life I ever
felt a little ashamed of myself.

I feel like I'm taking candy away from a
baby.

Well, Leah, what are you doing in that
dress?

I... I borrowed it.

You mean you stole it?

Oh, no, no, I didn't.

I explained to Paley that I was only
borrowing it.

I did it to please you.

Well, you don't please me, and you look
silly.

She wears them.

Well, that's different.

Do I please you more when I wear my own
clothes?

Yes, and wash your face.

Sometimes when I wore pretty things, you
used to look at me, and I knew you were

pleased.

Oh, that's when we were children.

I suppose they want first chance to wish
the bridegroom good luck.

So what?

I've got to hand it to you, Ruby.

When you and Larson go after something,
the sky is the limit.

But I thought I'd warn you.

You can't get away with it.

People like you and Larson just don't
belong here.

Why don't you include yourself?

You're here, ain't you?

Sure, I'm here.

But I'm wasting my own life.

Not hurting other people.

Do I look like a dose of poison?

You know, sometimes I thought I saw the
inside of Ruby Taylor as well as the

outside.

Why, a girl like you is usually in the
business of mending hearts, not breaking

them.

A girl like me can mind her own
business.

Why don't you?

It's your funeral.

Oh, no, it's not.

It's my wedding.

the eyes of my son warms the heart of an
old man.

But what man can read the heart of a
woman?

The heart of a woman is like the face of
a flower turned up to the sun.

In the heart of a woman is a typhoon,
and yet the gentle

whisper of wind through palm tree.

Are those things in your heart, my
child?

Yeah, sure.

Perhaps you tremble because you have not
forgotten the ways of the world from

which you came and still feel strange
among us.

But do the waves ask the color of the
beach?

they kiss.

Love is like the sun.

No one owns it, but everyone can share
its warmth.

Go, my children, and find your
happiness.

Once my mother stood here, her hand in
my father's hand.

And here has stood every mother of
Manoa, alone with a man she loves and

God.

Do not be afraid.

I am with you.

Kind of like a church, ain't it?

I have never seen a church.

It's a new experience for me, too.

I've never seen you so beautiful, so
quiet.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking that sky up there is like a
lot of things I've always dreamed of

having.

High and far away.

And I know if I reached out my hand, I
could touch it.

There is a saying on Manon.

Love is always the beginning.

Never the end.

Always the new.

Never the old.

I know what you mean.

I feel clean and new.

Like I've had a bath in them clouds.

I only wish I could believe it would be
like this always.

It will be like this always.

You have used the white man's cover to
bring them out here, but they will not

die against Kahani's taboo.

How many times have I told you that
Kahani said it was all right before he

Kahani did not tell me.

You're not calling me a liar, are you?

We will not die until Kahani tells us.
It was quite different when you wanted

our presence.

Honor was not dead then, and the others
did not have their bodies twisted or

their eardrums burst.

I fixed them up all right, didn't I?

What more do they want?

These still cannot hear the wind in the
palm or the voices of the women looking

at mighty pretty put here

Look, they got him.

There. Watch left of him.

Mokou's asleep.

The fever burned his body.

He's very sick.

I've got to talk to him.

There are worse things than fever.

Moku, Moku, I'm sorry to wake you up,
Moku, but things are going

on that you should know about.

Now, now look, Moku, as an old friend,
you better put a stop to this sort of

thing. Larson is tricking your people
just like he tricked Kahani into going

away. And if you don't stop it, now your
people are going to be destroyed.

I will show the white men that I am
still chief of Manor. Yes.

path too.

Let him come. I've been expecting him.

Why, you look great, Chief.

Nobody would ever believe you were sick
and you're just in time for the party.

No all work, no play.

What have you done to my people?

Done?

Why, nothing but show them a little fun.

Ain't you the one that's always saying
happiness is the only thing that counts?

You have used your cursed white man's
cover to take my people away from their

laws, away from me, their chief.

Well, if they'd rather be with me, there
must be some reason.

White man, you were welcomed here in
happiness, but you have brought on my

people nothing but unhappiness.

Now I order you to go back from whence
you came.

Sure, Chief.

And that will make a nice souvenir.

When we go.

Monku

is

dead.

Dead?

Now, what do you think of that?

Nominations for a new chief are now in
order.

I nominate Bucko Larson.

Do I hear any objections?

I've always wanted to run an island
anyway.

You're going to look awful funny in one
of those grass skirts.

Dirty, murdering scum. Are you
forgetting you're a white man, Lindsay?

I was doing all right till you and your
thugs came here to remind me.

Here, it's time for your bottle.

to this rubbish.

I want them ready to die by daylight.
All right.

I didn't want to wake up.

I was afraid I was dreaming and this
wasn't real.

Then I smelled breakfast.

Are you happy?

Don't you know?

Sometimes I see pain in your eyes.

How does happiness feel?

Oh, like something in here that swells
and swells until you know it will burst.

With a little choke in your throat like
you're going to cry?

Sometimes.

I think I've got it all right.

Happiness, I mean.

I want you to be happy always.

No, I'm still afraid to wake up.

This can't be real.

This is real.

So is this.

But it isn't.

I'm still dreaming.

Suppose I didn't love you.

Suppose I was going back where I came
from on that boat.

Oh, no.

I know you loved me.

When we stood before Paley's altar, I
could see the glow of Paley's fire burn

your eyes.

You have your legends and we have our
sayings.

How many events cast their shadows
before?

I feel like you and me were sitting in
the shadows and it's kind of cold.

Couldn't we go home?

But you are happy here.

You love me a lot?

Very much.

Take me home.

Someone is dead, being buried.

Luna, you are hurt.

Yes, a giant bomb, diving for Larson.

The drum is for your father.

They are carrying him to sleep with
Peli.

I could not go.

I could not climb the mountain.

Larson forced the divers to break the
book.

Many others are dead.

Besides Moko.

Go on. I understand.

Lindsay was hurt.

He is at Hono's house.

the matter with you?

Nothing much. But I figured if I hung
around long enough, I'd have a chance to

talk to you.

Well, let me look at that. Oh, one more
scratch on an old hulk doesn't make much

difference.

You don't look like no scratch to me.

I've recovered from lead poisoning
before.

For a fellow who buried himself in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean to escape

from things.

I don't seem to be doing so good.

Why don't you stop that guzzling?

That won't do you any good.

I feel better already.

I'd feel better if they'd stop
practicing on them drums.

They're very emotional.

You'll get used to it before they stop
beating for the people who aren't dead

yet.

What do you mean?

Those drums are beating on Manoa, just
like they beat out the death of a lot of

islands in the South Seas.

Islands that were like Manoa.

Paradise.

Until white men came along and turned
them into hell.

Oh, it's too bad.

The only happiness I've ever known.

The only peace.

was here on Manoa.

And now it's all gone.

How do you figure it's all over?

Happiness on Manoa ended when Larson
sailed into the harbor.

Well, maybe it ended for you, but not
for me.

You should have learned by now.

Peace and pearls don't mix.

I feel sorry for you.

Oh, feel sorry for yourself.

It's no good, Ruby.

You can't win.

No? Well, maybe I can win.

Maybe I found some of that peace and
happiness you're always talking about

I came here.

But you can't keep it.

It doesn't belong to you.

I can try.

I learned a couple of things, too.

There was a time when I thought going to
Shanghai in a silk dress was happiness.

Well, I was fooled. Just like I've been
fooled about a lot of things.

How was I to know when I started out
that happiness ain't even marked on the

map? How was I to know that happiness
was a boy I laughed at and tried to play

for a sucker?

That might be all right if it was
Larson's idea of happiness.

Well, it's mine.

I got a right to it, and I'm going to
stay here and keep it.

You know, Ruby, you and I are like
ostriches, sticking our heads in the

trying to hide from everything.

Trouble is, when you do that, you can't
see what's happening to other people.

Well, if being an ostrich keeps you from
being kicked around the way I've been

and helps you wake up in the morning
glad to be alive, if I've got to keep my

head buried in the sand in order to get
everything I ever wanted, then I'm going

to keep right on being an ostrich.

Well, like I said, it's your funeral.

Wait a minute. You better take it easy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm going to take it easy.

It's so silly to die and leave all that.

So long, Ruby.

I'll be safe.

See who is our brother.

Receive the spirit of Moku who was our
father.

As we place him with his face turned
toward you from whence comes all good.

Oh Pele, here upon your highest altar we
bring our chief to rest

within the shelter of your eternal
flame.

May the earth be soft to warm you.

And may your sleep be deep and unending.

Keani, chief of Manoa, look upon your
people who now look to you

for justice and wisdom.

We have honored our dead.

Now we have another duty.

Arm yourselves.

Don't stand there.

Something wrong with you?

Many things are wrong.

But not with me.

Yeah, I know.

Everything's wrong.

Those drums make my blood run cold.

They are war drums.

More will be killed.

Kahane thinks he can make war against
your friends without making war against

you.

But I know he's wrong.

I get what you mean.

What's good enough for my friends is
good enough for me.

But you're wrong.

What I want is too good for my friends.

Long ago, before you came...

Kahani's mother used to tell us stories
in this room, with her arms around both

of us.

Stories of how love came to boys and
girls.

But that was when we were children.

You poor kid.

Oh, I can't.

I wanted to kill you, like you've helped
to kill my people.

I can't kill anything.

Now I understand why Kahane loves you.

He never saw you before.

He saw me every day of my life.

We played together.

Played at love.

Played that I was queen.

But that too was when we were children.

Poor kid.

Don't let Kahani and me worry you.

But he loves you. And you love him.

Love?

Me?

You don't think Kahani means anything to
me, do you? I don't know. I thought it

was funny the way he came when I
whistled.

I was just playing with him.

Like going over to that silly island.

After all, I'm a white woman.

Oh, it's you.

Well, now you know listeners never hear
any good of themselves.

Take what belongs to you and go.

You mean the honeymoon's over?

Go while you can.

I am a woman. I understand what you did.

You made him hate you.

Did I, kid?

I guess if I was a real Manon, I'd say,
may all your days with Kahani be as

beautiful as the flowers.

But just being me, I'll say, here's
luck, kid.

You coming any minute now?

Let him come.

I'm ready for any visitors.

Another can of that powder.

Maybe I'd better load me leg with powder
and stomp on it.

Well, look who's here.

We're just in time for the party.

Here comes the bride.

Here comes the bride.

I'd better see you aboard, baby.

What made you decide to come home? I
don't know. Just a sailor in me, I

stayed in business till I got sick of
it.

So I closed the office.

Well, I was coming ashore tomorrow to
get you anyhow.

You know, you're mighty hard to forget.
Yeah?

What I need now is a drink. A couple of
drinks.

You're on the right ship, lady.

After the wedding, the housewarming.

And it's going to be plenty warm here in
a little while.

Why don't we get out of here while the
getting's good? Well, you'd hardly

believe the luck. We were all ready to
leave, and Bucko found another pearl

You boys ever seen him try to catch
monkeys in Burma?

They put something the monkey likes in a
jug with a small neck.

When the monkey reaches in to grab it,
he can't get his fist out.

And he's too greedy to let go.

Well, don't worry about this monkey.

When I put my fist in, I know how to get
it back out again.

Now that you mention it, I can see the
resemblance.

I bet you'll even climb trees.

Oh, don't let them drums get you
nervous.

Oh, come on, give me a little kiss on
account.

Don't paw me, you big gorilla.

What's the matter with you?

Perhaps her late business partner,
Kahane, had more finesse. You know,

her the way to hire nobler things.

You mean you made me feel clean and
decent. You're right.

You're nothing but a bunch of murdering
pirates, all of you. And I'm the worst.

Well, that just goes to show you, you
can't hardly ever tell about a dame.

There's four cigars on the ship.

And I never enjoy to smoke more.

Just like the Fourth of July.

Savvy? This even tastes like a
firecracker. Mr. Williams, Grimes, go

keep a sharp lookout.

And help yourself to that firework. All
right.

But some of us will be killed.

To those who die, Dofa.

If this was the Navy, I'd get a medal.

A stroke of genius.

Hey, you know, if I hadn't been so crazy
about pearls, I might have been another

Admiral Nelson.

Right.

We must make them believe we are beat.

Fall back with the canoes and wait.

Some of you come with me. We will swim
to the boat and try to surprise them.

I hope we didn't hit any good divers.

Maybe we'd better splice the main brace
and celebrate the victory.

Sure. A double ration of grog.

What's the trouble Grimes?

There's natives on board the ship.

I saw you.

You did it on purpose to save me.

Funny thing is, I'm not scared.

You won't understand what I mean.

But you're the only white man I've ever
known.

One time the rats will stay with the
ship.

Let me go with him.

I feel more at home.

It'd be an awful big laugh in Singapore
if they knew how close I came to being

Queen Ruby.

First.

send the others back the way they came
so that all white men will remember

Manoa.

In her heart, she was one of us.

She will rest by the waterfall with a
fountain of tears to keep her grave

forever clean.
