Original subtitles

Did you enjoy the film, Captain?

So -so.

The chap who played the lead is a good actor.

He looked a lot like our old friend General Alcazar.

The ending was far too improbable.

I can't believe things like that really happen. You think about someone and then

he pops up on the street corner just like that.

Wham!

Look here, you misguided missile. Can't you watch where you're going? General

Alcazar.

Yes.

It's extraordinary.

Imagine, the captain and I were just talking about you.

Ah, about me. What are you doing here?

Me? Uh, I travel.

Por favor, excuse me, please.

In mucho hurry.

Late for appointment.

Where can we get in touch with you, General?

Hotel Brito.

Adios, amigos.

Hmm. Not very chatty, is he? Hmm.

Strange.

Whoops.

What's this?

It's the general's wallet.

He must have dropped it when you bumped into him.

Hurry! Maybe we can find him.

I'd say the general has vamoosed.

Are you sure?

Look, he's a fairly heavy -built man with a small mustache.

No, sir. I'm terribly sorry. I've never seen the gentleman.

That's strange.

Why wouldn't he tell us where he was really staying?

Hey, why is the door open?

Snowy?

Poor Snowy. Who's done this to you?

By thunder, I'll get to the bottom of this.

Billions of blue... Captain, are you all right?

Who's the thundering son of a sea gherkin who did that?

Nestor!

Nest...

Abdullah. Abdullah?

Blistering barnacles.

Blistering barnacles, blistering barnacles.

Do it again, blistering barnacles. Do it again.

You young ruffian, what are you doing here?

Wait, blistering barnacles. I have a present for you.

A present? For me?

Dear little fellow. It's for you, blistering barnacles. From me.

Thank you, Abdullah.

You really shouldn't have.

A cuckoo clock.

It's beautiful.

It's magnificent.

To wind it up, you do this.

Blue, blistering, thundering typhoons. You won't get away with this.

You stop.

Touch not the son of my master.

Huh?

I am Hasim, servant to His Highness Prince Abdullah.

I bring you a message from my master.

My dear friends, I entrust to you my beloved son, Abdullah.

For here, his life is in danger.

Should misfortune befall me, as the falcon springs on the innocent gazelle,

count on you, my friend, to provide Abdullah with the warmth and care he

requires. May peace be with you and all members of your household.

Signed, Ymir Ben -Khalish Isab.

What? You little brat, I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Oh, sir, it's dreadful.

Later, Nestor, later.

But, sir, all those foreign persons have settled themselves in the stateroom,

sir.

You'll feel better after a cup of coffee, Captain.

No, thanks.

I have to watch my nerves. That little monster will be up in a minute.

Oh, no.

Abdullah's coming!

Professor Calculus?

Blistering barnacles. I have enough problems in this house without you

around like some out -of -control freight train.

Rain? No, it's a splendid morning for a stroll.

Well, that's what I thought I was doing.

Ah, I see breakfast is served.

What?

Cuthbert, why don't you take these infernal things off before you really

yourself?

Nestor, will you answer that door?

Begging your pardon, sir, but the young foreign gentleman, your guest, sir,

finds it rather amusing to ring the doorbell again and again and run off as

as I open it.

Abdullah has gone too far.

Nestor, fetch the garden hose.

Okay, open it.

Good morning.

Oops. What can I do for you, detectives?

We'll be brief and to the point.

Tell us everything you know about General Alcazar.

General Alcazar?

Well, I knew him when he was president of San Theodoro.

Then he was deposed by General Tapioca in a coup.

Then he staged a counter -coup and took it back.

And that's all?

That's all, is it?

And what did he tell you last night?

When? You met up with him, to be precise.

Last night?

Surprised you, didn't we?

Well, it's true. We met him last night. He seemed to be in a big hurry.

Oh, and he told us he was staying at... The Hotel Excelsior. We know that,

too.

Excelsior, huh?

Well... Can't keep anything from you two.

But why are you asking about Alcazar? What's he done?

What's he done?

My dear fellow, if you imagine we tell you that he's smuggling aircraft, you're

much mistaken.

Or that we tell you that General Alcazar is mounting a counter -revolution after

Tapioca redeposed him.

You can forget it!

Mum's the word. That's our motto.

Well said, Thompson.

Thank you, Thompson.

Goodbye, Tintin.

Thanks for the information.

General Alcazar?

Yes, sir. I think you'll find him in the lounge.

That man that Alcazar's with, I know him. His name's Dawson. I had a run -in

with him in China.

He's obviously moved up to arms dealing.

Oh, Thompson and Thompson are here, too.

Captain, give this back to the general. Right. I'm going to follow Dawson. I'll

see you back at Marlinspike.

Taxi!

Follow that black jaguar.

Wait here and keep the engine running.

Morning, Gov. Seen today's paper?

Ah, very good.

I see those planes we sold to Mopacha did a great job.

He'll be rid of the emir in no time.

Now Alcazar's got his planes so we can overthrow Tabioka once and for all.

Huh?

Abdullah! That little pet?

Yeah! What's this?

It was a young lad with a white dog.

What?

Tintin! We will bring you further developments in the coup d 'etat in

they become available to us. In other news, Mulpacha's forces have taken

of the city of Wadesda.

The Emir Ben Khalifa is missing and feared dead.

Information is difficult to attain at this time. Poor Abdullah.

Hey!

Abdullah!

He's too young to realize how serious things are.

Blue blistering!

barnacles, the little pest, the plague.

That's it. He goes back to his father now.

It's too late, Captain. The emir has been overthrown in a coup d 'etat.

That's just great.

There's no way we can send him back now.

But there's nothing to keep us from going away.

Tintin, you're a genius.

But where?

To Kamed.

Ah, yes.

Good.

What? In the middle of a revolution?

No, thanks. I'll take my chances with the kid.

Let's park.

Mopacha?

Dawson here.

You should expect a visit from Tintin.

in the baggage compartment.

Everyone is off the plane.

Passports, please, gentlemen.

I'm sorry. You have no permit to stay in Quebec.

What?

You must re -board the plane and return to Beirut.

Blistering barnacles. There's nothing wrong with our papers. What sort of a

is that?

It is done.

Excellent.

Bon voyage, Tintin.

Another eternity in this

flying coffin.

Rattling about like dice.

I wonder what sort of trouble will drop on us next.

Thundering typhoons.

Everything happens to me.

Captain,

are you okay?

Tintin, I've had enough of this.

You know, Captain, I'll bet this Mole Pacha character had something to do with

our being told to leave Wadesda.

What's the matter, Snowy?

What is it?

Fire! We're on fire!

Wodezda Tower, Wodezda Tower, this is cause.

Starboard motor on fire. We're turning back, trying for emergency landing at

Wodezda.

Port engine misfiring. We're losing altitude.

Snowy, this is no time for games.

Give me a parachute.

Please, sir, just go and sit down.

I tell you, I demand a parachute. Now look here, young fellow.

Thanks,

lad. Tell everyone to hold on tight.

I'm going to fight a lad.

The fire's out, but we'd better move into the shade while we wait for a

party.

Wodezda's only 50 kilometers away.

We won't have to wait long for them to find us.

Listen, Captain.

If they take us back to Wodezda, we'll just be expelled again.

I think we should sneak back in on our own.

What? 50 kilometers on foot?

It's our only hope of finding the emir.

All right, Snowy, I'm coming.

I'll be right back. Snowy is determined to show me something.

Hmm. Fifty kilometers. In this heat.

I could sure go for a cigar right about now.

Even one of Abdullah's exploding cigars.

Tintin!

Tintin!

Tintin, are you all right?

Snowy. Where's Snowy?

Snowy. Good old Snowy. You sent danger, didn't you? And you tried to warn me.

And I just thought you wanted to play.

That had to be a time bomb, Captain. And I'll bet it was intended for us.

Wadesda will be crawling with soldiers.

And so will this crash site when Moolpacha finds out we weren't blown to

his bomb.

Let's go.

I've got a friend in Modesta, Oliveira da Figueira. He'll hide us.

Okay, Captain.

They're gone.

Now let's find Oliveira's.

Captain?

Come on, stay awake. It's just down this alley.

Señor Oliveira.

Senor Oliveira?

Din -din, come inside quickly.

What?

There's a pretty heavy price on your heads, my friends.

You can bet Mool Patch is behind that.

Also known as Dr.

Mueller. Dr. Mueller?

So once again I'm up against that scoundrel. What's his involvement in

whole mess?

Let me bring you up to date on the situation.

A few months ago, Wadizda became a major link in the air routes of Arab Air.

Then, when the emir found out that Arab Air was being used for some pretty nasty

illegal traffic, he cancelled the deal.

And I'll bet that's when all the political unrest flared up.

Exactly.

Heavily funded by someone as yet unknown, Mulpacha mounted a coup and

emir into hiding.

Yeah! Captain!

Are we sinking?

No, Captain. You just set your beard on fire.

Oh.

I heard that the emir was feared dead.

No. He is hiding in the Jebel Mountains. We absolutely have to get to him for

his son's sake.

First, we get some sleep.

Tomorrow, I will find a way for you to leave the city and join the emir.

That was close.

Blistering barnacles, now we're in trouble.

Quick, there's our guide.

Thatcher here.

Order the squad of mosquitoes to take off immediately.

Their mission? To wipe out a party of three horsemen who have left Wadesda and

are heading for the Jebel Mountain.

you now, Tintin.

Ready to fire.

Fire! Fire!

They should not complain.

Wondering hopes? You'll be court -martialed, dismissed, reused to ranks,

have you shot!

Don't shoot. We're friends.

The dogs bark.

The cameras pass.

Friends.

These strangers have come to see the emir.

All right. Come this way.

Wow.

Incredible.

A whole city carved right out of the rock.

Captain.

You. Here.

Unbelievable! But what about my son, my precious darling?

Where is he?

Rest assured, your highness. He is in good hands at Marlinspike.

Thank you, Tintin. Your help is precious to me.

The resistance movement is growing, and soon I will throw out that slimy serpent

Mueller. But of course, Mueller is just a front to keep us from seeing the real

culprit, DeGorgonzola.

DeGorgonzola? The famous millionaire?

He owns Arab Air, which he uses to smuggle illegal refugees for

fees. The mangy dog.

As long as that international crook runs scot -free, peace will be nothing but

an illusion.

We have to stop them somehow.

It will be difficult.

Gorgonzola is very rich and very powerful.

By Allah!

Let us hope your dog has not gone near Ayesha.

Snowy!

Calm down, Snowy.

You see, your highness, the powerful ones don't always get the last word.

Are you still worried about mule patches, soldiers?

I just don't think they're going to give up that easily. It took three days to

arrange this boat, so they must know by now that we're headed out to sea.

What a pessimist you are, Tintin. What do you think they'll do? Send a squadron

of battleships after us? Well, not quite, but... Wait.

Listen.

Thundering typhoons. He's coming right for us. Hit the deck!

Gangsters! Assassins!

It's Timmer off this time.

shooting din -din.

Captain, what happened?

I don't know. Some cowardly rat attacked me from behind.

Look out!

By does!

Sorry. Come on. There's no time to lose. We've got to build some kind of raft

fast before the whole thing goes up in flames.

May I have the pleasure of this samba, princess?

Of course, Marquis.

Excuse me, my lord. There is a radio call for you.

It's urgent.

Oh, I'm sorry, dear lady.

Business, always business.

I am indeed a veritable slave.

Don't give it another thought, Marquis. The Marquis de Gorgonzola is a true

gentleman.

Naturally, Melissa's tongue spread rumors that he has a shady past.

Hello, Scheherazade to Blue Goat. I'm listening.

This is Blue Goat. Powerful Mosquito has stung Insect Fest 1 and 2. Over.

Message understood.

Over and out.

Billions of blue blistering barnacles. We've saved two cases of provisions and

no can opener.

It's enough to drive you crazy.

It's the mosquito pilot we shot down.

So? Let him take care of himself.

Help! Help! Help me!

Piotr Scoot, I can't believe it's you.

I am sorry.

Sorry? Sorry?

You trigger -happy thug, you! Who put you up to this?

Speak up, you blithering bombardier, or I'll deflate you!

Captain! M -M -Molpacha!

He gave the orders, but I think his orders come from DiGorgonzola.

DiGorgonzola? Please, careful with knife!

So tell me, Scoot, why were you shooting at us?

I take the job with Arab military.

They tell me your boat is gun runners and to sink you.

I am sorry.

Well, never mind. The important thing now is to survive.

Try to drink some sea water.

Never. That's salt water.

Really, Captain. It's not all that bad.

Are you out of your mind?

You should never drink that. It's full of plankton that the fish eat.

This not good.

There!

A ship! We're saved!

Just when you'd swallowed that liquid fish food.

Hey! Over here!

The sheep! She not see us! We've got to get their attention.

Has anyone got a mirror?

You want comb, too? No.

Thanks. Just a mirror.

Well done, sailor.

There, my lord.

Shipwreck survivors.

Three men and a little dog.

Dinpin's alive.

Shall I alter course, sir?

A waste of time.

Proceed on course.

Another word to the passengers, understand?

Yoo -hoo!

Marquis? Marquis, where are you?

At Castaway's, my dear fellow. Out there in the rough.

How madly romantic.

Yes, isn't it exciting?

I've just given the order to pick them up. But I... Pick them up.

Yes, sir.

Oh, how gorgeous.

I've always dreamed of being real castaways.

Those people are not to have any contact with my guests.

My name is not to be mentioned in front of them.

Understand? Can I believe my eyes?

It's Tintin and his friend, the deep -sea fisherman Paddock. Art must embrace

the children of adventure.

Castafiore? On behalf of the Marquis de Gorgonzola.

Gorgonzola? Allow me to welcome you aboard the Shahrazada, carissimo mio.

Let's hop back on the raft.

My dear Tintin and Captain Haruk.

Haddock, Signora Castor Oily.

Captain Haddock.

I'm sorry, Signora, but his lordship has given orders.

There is to be no contact with the castaways.

Risk of infection, you know.

My good man, I am not ill.

I must get rid of Tintin.

I'm calling the Ramona. This is Rasta Pablos.

Ramona here.

What's up, bud?

Alan, set the course for my yacht immediately.

I have some passengers for you.

Get dressed, quickly.

You're in luck. The freighter Ramona has agreed to carry you to land.

Good. Fine.

I'm coming.

They're leaving. I wish you a pleasant journey, my dear friends.

Ah,

this is the place for me. Back aboard a good old freighter.

Here, you two. These are your quarters.

Why separate us? There's room for three here.

Right, Scoot?

Hey.

Open up, you ill -

Well, well, well.

Alan! This is a happy reunion, isn't it? You old bottlenose.

We must have a drink on it.

What's going on? What are you doing here?

You still haven't figured it out, huh?

I command this vessel, and I work for D.

Gorgonzola. My orders are to put you ashore at Wadesta.

That's murder. There's a price on our hands.

You're breaking my heart.

But here, let's drink to my health.

Not a chance. I don't drink with D.

Gorgonzola's monkeys.

Suit yourself.

But I'll just leave the bottle to console you.

Well, bye for now. Sleep tight.

Oh, by the way, did you sleep with your beard under or over this sheet?

Over?

Not that way.

Under?

Blistering barnacles, not that way either. Ah, who needs blankets?

It's too hot anyway.

Pull, boys, pull.

She'll blow up any minute now.

There.

I'm already asleep.

Too hot.

Too hot.

Assembly signal!

Shake a leg there!

All hands on deck!

Ouch! What's the matter, Captain?

Get up and give me a hand.

What are you doing?

Well, it's great to be free, but why the panic?

Something's wrong. It's too quiet.

Quick, let's see what's happening.

Thundering typhoons! The ship's on fire!

Pirates! Filibusters!

Saltwater savages!

Eighteen tons of high explosives.

It'll make a pretty fireworks display.

Hurry! We have to find a raft or something and get off this tub.

world could be down there.

Help, please. Help me dispose.

Let's get them out of there. Right.

Hurry, everyone.

Hurry. The ship's on fire.

You heard him. Move it.

We must help put it out.

Explosives. Captain, everybody, over here.

We've almost got it, B.

What did?

The fire's gone out.

Bring her about, boys.

You saved our lives.

How can we ever repay you?

You can tell me why you were locked in that hold, for starters.

We are refugees.

The men on this boat promised to take us to America.

We paid them all we had. Our life savings. Look!

They are coming back!

Captain, do you think you can get the engines running?

I'll need men for the stoke room.

Pull,

boy! Pull!

Valve closed, Captain.

Open valve two.

Tintin, take the wheel. Come on. Row.

Row.

What?

She's pulling away.

I

don't

know how we did it, but she's underway at last.

Thanks to our crew.

I'll send out a distress signal.

What?

Say something.

Yo, hurry. Escape the fire. She full of explosives. It's okay, Scoot. The fire's

out. But what happened to you?

They try to make me go with them, but I refuse.

Not without you.

Then they get angry and knock me out.

Come in, Ramona. This is Red Sea Shark. This is Red Sea Shark.

It's D.

Gorgonzola, submarine.

Submarine? Ramona here.

Come in, Shark.

Shark.

Finally. What's going on? I've been trying to reach you for hours.

Receiver was broken, but is okay now.

A sambook is waiting for you at the usual place to pick up the cargo in your

hold. Message received loud and clear, Shark.

Over and out.

Is there any cargo on board, Captain?

I've thoroughly inspected the ship and all the holds are empty, except for the

refugees. That's it.

The cargo is refugees, and I'll bet those sharks don't intend to take them

America either. They've already got their money. They probably intend to

dump them at sea.

Captain, we'd better tell those people out there.

I'll send out an S .O .S.

S .O .S.? S .O .S.? The Ramona needs help.

S .O .S., this is the Ramona. We need immediate assistance.

What? The Ramona's still afloat? That means Tintin must still be alive.

This is the battleship USS Los Angeles to Ramona. Your SOS received.

Oh, the Navy is butting in on our little business.

Well, it's not going to help Tim, Tim.

Calling Red Sea Shark. You must liquidate the Ramona.

You mustn't worry. We know who the guilty party is. As soon as we're all

believe me, he will be brought to justice.

Help arriving soon.

USS Los Angeles.

She is three hours away.

Tintin, come and see this.

What is it, Captain?

Have a look.

Wow.

Flying fish.

Beautiful. Oh, no.

Captain. Take it easy, Tintin. It's only a

periscope headed straight for us.

Battle stations, clear. the decks. Women and children first.

Calm down, Captain.

I'm perfectly calm.

Tintin, you man the radio. Scoot, you're at the wheel.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Stand by. Number one tube.

Stand by. Number one tube.

Number one tube. Fire.

Fire on number one.

Torpedo to port.

Hard to starboard.

Hard to starboard.

Curse is on them.

They swung away.

Starboard 20 degrees.

Speed 6 knots.

Stand by. Number 2 tube.

SOS. SOS.

Ramona calling USS Los Angeles. We are being attacked by a submarine.

Message received, Ramona. We are coming to your assistance.

Hold steady.

Go ahead, Tintin. Call for help all you like.

You'll be shot, Faith, long before help arrives.

Sundering typhoons. Another torpedo to divert.

Full speed ahead.

Billions of blue blistering barnacles. We're stuck in reverse.

Infernal machines.

Curse them again. They're going astern.

Top those boys.

Ready? Tubes one and four.

They're still going astern.

We've got them this time.

Hello? Hello?

Engine room.

Hello? Hello?

Too late. They've got us.

Those are the planes from the U .S. and Los Angeles.

Death chargers.

And I thought we'd been torpedoed.

Look.

We're dead.

They're surrendering.

Still no news from Kurt and his submarine.

The fools.

What are they doing?

Hello. You'd better come to the bridge right away.

All right.

I'm coming.

It's the USS Los Angeles, sir, ordering us to drop anchor.

What impertinence.

Stop the engines and launch my personal boat. I'll go myself and tell those

insolent cowboys what they think of their manners.

It looks as if, yes, they're dropping a launch.

No, I insist, my friend. I will go alone.

Rastapopulus. He must be the Marquis de Gorgonzola. Let me have a look at that

wretched refugee swindler.

Wait. He's sinking.

Oh, the Marquis. How horrible.

I don't believe it.

Is he finally gone for good?

Try to catch me now, gentlemen.

Well,

what a joy to be home again.

Listen to those familiar sounds. The gardener mowing the lawn.

Welcome back to Marlin Spike.

What a funny way to welcome people home, Professor.

Welcome back to Marlin Spike, gentlemen.

What on earth are those contraptions?

Oh, no. On the contrary. I think they're the solution to the terrible traffic

problems in our modern cities.

They're handy, lightweight, flexible.

Fine, fine.

But where's Abdullah? You wouldn't believe it.

Forty miles per hour.

Oh, sir, I'm so glad to see you back.

Nestor? What's happened to you?

I... I'm afraid Master Abdullah's visit was not very good for me, sir. But he's

gone now. He left you a note.

And the emir Ben -Khalisha Zaf is in power once again, bringing political

stability back to Kemed and ending the illegal smuggling of refugees by the

notorious international gangster Rastapopolis, who is still missing at

presumed drowned.

My dear blistering barnacles, I have been very good.

I haven't played any jokes. I am a bit sad to leave because it was fun at

Marlinspike. With love from your friend, Abdullah.

Isn't that sweet?

You know, he wasn't such a bad kid after... Millions of millions of blue

blistering...
