Hold me tight, Alec.
I'm frightened.

There's nothing to be afraid of,
darling.

We're together from here on in.

We're not.

That's what frightens me.

Alec, will you write to me often?

What do you think?

I think that I love you very much.

I want to tell you and
tell you and tell you.

Ahem.

Sorry, mates.
It's time to say so long.

Right, skipper.

See you soon.

See you soon.

Oh, it's not fair, uncle Thad.

Only two hours together.

I didn't say any of the
things I wanted to,

and now Alec's gone.

If only we didn't
have to sail tonight.

I'm sorry, Nancy.
It's orders.

You know, this is the first time

I ever saw him in his uniform.

Well, the war
hasn't changed him any.

Same old grin.

Yeah.
The same old grin.

Nothing will ever change that.

He had it even when he first
proposed to me

when I was 5 years old.

Oh, look. They're
warming up a plane.

Maybe it's Alec's.

His mission tonight
is up past bougainville.

Ah, he's a fine lad, Nancy.

Course, I take a lot
of credit for it.

Credit?
It's surprising

he turned out halfway civilized,

those wild sea stories

you were always telling him when
he was a little kid.

But they were all true,

even the ones I told
when I had too much

of what Alec called
my scotch friends.

Oh, by golly, I'm losing my grip.

I should have married you two.

I could, you know.
I'm a captain.

Oh, you're sweet, uncle Thad.

Oh, I'm not thinking of you,

but I'd like to see the
faces on the folks back home

when they heard an old pirate
like me stood in for a preacher.

Oh, you're an old
rascal, but I love you.

Excuse me.

Casualties coming aboard, sir.

Very well.

I'd better get back on duty.

Tower. Tower.

Tower!

Give me the emergency
power on the port engine.

Yes, sir.

Cady!

It's got to be this time or never.

Radio the base.
We're making a landing.

Cut the gas!

See what you can do for the
crew and check the hull.

Nothing here the
pumps won't handle.

We'll float alright.

The crew... how bad are they?

It's no use.

You mean all of them?

How bad is the radio?

Voice transmitter's gone.

Receiver's okay.

Don't they know where we're down?

Didn't the kid get a message off?

Radioed the attack.

Didn't have a chance to
send back our position.

Do you know any of
the burial service?

Yeah. I guess I know
a couple of lines.

Say them.

The lord hath given.
The lord hath taken away.

Blessed be the name of the lord.

So long, you guys.

Whoo!

Oh, it's going to be
a scorcher today.

Better start getting
used to that heat.

Alec.

Alec! There's
a bullet hole in it!

Yeah, I know.

The other breakers
are shot up, too.

What?

I saved what water
I could... In this.

Are you kidding?

Why, even if we use an eyedropper,

that won't last more
than a couple of days.

We've got to make it last...
Till something happens.

Till what happens?
We're off our course.

Oh, we'll be spotted

Alec, what do you really
think of our chances?

I think we've got
a very good chance.

What do you think?

I think you're trying
to keep up our morale.

Hello,
you yanks. How's everything?

This is your friend from Tokyo.

Don't you think you've
done your duty yet?

Everyone on our team
thinks you have.

Just think how anxious the folks
are to see you back home.

Do me a favor, will you?

Go down there
and cut rose's throat.

...mom and pop.

And how big do you suppose
that kid sister is now?

And what about that girl?

Don't leave her alone...
Too long.

They're still trying to get us.

There's our signal again.

They're beginning to worry now.
Any message?

Yeah... come home, boys.
All is forgiven.

Sorry, fellas.
We can't accept your invitation.

We've been disconnected.

Disconnected
from the whole world...

From everything...

From everybody you love.

Alec.

Alec!

Nancy, what's the matter?

Something's happened to Alec.

Uncle Thad, something's
happened to Alec.

He's in trouble or hurt.
I know it.

No. Now, Nancy.

Maybe... maybe his plane
was shot down.

Nonsense. You've been
dreaming or something.

No. I can always tell
when Alec's in trouble.

Even when we were little kids,
it was like that.

I feel it.
I'm sure.

Now, look here.
You've been working too hard.

Too many sick boys on this ship.

No. It's just as if
Alec was telling me.

It's always been like that.

Once, I went all the way
home from Honolulu

because I knew something
was happening to him.

Oh, uncle Thad,
I've got to go to him.

I've got to.
He needs me.

You sit down and let me
get you a cup of coffee.

But we're not too far
off his course.

Maybe... we've got to
try to find him.

Here, now. You drink
this down quick.

Uncle Thad, you've got to listen.

I'm asking you this with
everything that's inside of me.

Take me to Alec.

You can do it.

I love you, Nancy, and I love Alec,

but I can't take the ship off its course,
not for anybody.

If it's going to make
you feel any better,

I'll try and get in touch with his
base and get some news of him.

Oh, I'm so sure he needs us.

I'm so sure of it.

Joe, did you ever think
about somebody so hard

you could almost actually see them?

Nope. When I see them,
they're there.

I can see somebody right now.

Oh. A dame?

She's beautiful.

A girl named Nancy.

Yeah? Where did you pick her up?

A little town in Iowa...
When I was about 7.

You had your mind
on dames even then, huh?

Maybe I should have
lived in a small town.

Oh, you sure would
have liked it, Joe.

Westview was the nicest
little town you ever saw...

big old maple trees all around
the courthouse square...

And Bailey's drugstore.

Ah, there's something
about your own hometown.

My hometown had 7 million people.

I can remember the summer
heat hanging over the corn...

corn taller than a man can
reach with a buggy whip.

Ah, you cornfed guys are all alike.

Soon as the sun goes
down, you get homesick.

Well, maybe it's because I've
got so much to look back on.

You know, I've lived in this
little town all my life,

and somehow or other,
I can't feel cut off from it even now.

Alec, voice-over: One of the first things
I can remember is our old model "T."

My father was the town doctor,

and sometimes he'd take me
with him on his rounds.

Daddy, what road is this?

The old west road, son.

Where does this old west road go?

Goes on and on...
Due west.

How far is due west?

Way out past the county hospital.

Is the county hospital
the end of the world?

Sometimes it is, son.

I'll be a doctor and go
to the county hospital

way at the end of the world
out the old west road.

When, daddy, when?

When you grow up, take dad's place.

Alec, voice-over:
Our house was

the one with the cupola
on main street.

It was large and square and roomy.

Dad's office was to the right
as you went up the steps,

and to the left was the living
room where mother had her piano.

My mother could have been
a professional pianist.

Or is that how every kid thinks

about a thing his mother does?

My mother was beautiful then,

and any room she happened to be in,

people felt good just to be there.

What's that, mother?
What's that?

The music?

That one. That one.

Uh, that one?
Yes.

That's the g note.

G note?

Mm-hmm. Here, honey.
You make it.

Oh, that's the g note.

It goes and goes.

It goes?

Away down the road far.

What road, Alec?

The old west road, mother.

That's the g note road.

It goes all the way.

I think it's time for you to wash
your hands for dinner, darling.

Gosh, I don't mind dirty hands.

Why does everybody
else care so much?

I like that g note, mother.

It goes and goes and goes.

Alec, voice-over: Then,
of course, there was Nancy...

Nancy Fraser, who lived
across the street from us.

She was always right behind
me in everything I did.

Every year, Nancy and I
went hunting for lady-slippers

in the woods below the water tower.

Alec.

What?

Aw!

I didn't find it,
Alec. I didn't.

I only said Alec and pointed.

Aw, who wants an old flower?

Even a girl can find an old flower.

Why,
I bet you I can climb that water tower.

Why, I guess you can climb
anything in this world!

Alright,
if you don't believe me, watch!

Wahoo!

Wahoo, Nancy!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Look at Alec up there.

Whoa.

Hey!

Hey, come on down here.

Come on, come on.
Come on down here.

You darn fool kid!
I'm going to get your father!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Nancy!

Nancy!

Here I come, Alec.

Well... Well, come on.

I... Don't think I can.

I'm getting tired.

Go back down, then.

I... Alec...

I think I'm going to let go.

Aw, just an old girl,
that's all you are.

Just an old girl!

I'm not! I'm not
just an old girl.

I'm not... I'm not...

I'm not!

I'm not just an old girl.

I'm not.

You shouldn't be up here.

My, we're up high.

It's nice up here, isn't it?

No.

Alec! Are you up there,
Alec Brooke?

It's your father.

Yes, Mr. Fraser.

Hello, daddy!

Get away from the edge!

I'm coming right up.
Hold on to her... tight!

Alec, so help me, if you let go
of her for one minute, I'll...

Never mind.
Just hold on to her.

It's beautiful up here.

Just be quiet.
Be...

Quiet.

Don't look down, daddy.

What?

Take it easy, Fraser!

We'll be right with you!

Alec, voice-over: I thought I'd be
punished good and proper for that stunt,

but when I got home, I found that
uncle Thad was going off to sea again,

and mother knew that
that was punishment enough.

My uncle Thad's a wonderful guy.

He's in the regular Navy now,

but in those days, he was as colorful
and romantic as an old buccaneer.

His head was full
of the darnedest stories.

Do you have to go, uncle Thad?

Aye, aye.
Back to the pacific.

Oh, it's a dreadful fate.

Well, if you don't want to go,
why are you going?

Did you hear that?

I'm deaf, uncle Thad.
I can't hear anything.

My ears are ringing.

So are mine.

What is it, boy,
that makes a man go on and on, huh?

Keep moving, living, hoping?
What is it, boy?

A ringing in the ears,

the sight of something you saw
once and you live to see again,

a dream inside you.

Every man's got one,
and I got mine:

To find High Barbaree.

What's that?

High Barbaree?
The island I saw once...

oh, didn't I tell you?

Where?

Out in the pacific ocean.

Oh, I know,
some folks say there is no such place,

and it's not on the charts.

But just the same, I saw it.

High Barbaree?

Yep. Rising high,
high up out of the ocean...

two great mountains with a long,
white beach betwixt them,

flowers and palm trees and...

Yep, I saw it,
and I'll see it again someday.

Uncle Thad,
were there any bears and tigers on it?

Well, now, as a matter of fact,

I didn't get on the island.

There was a storm...
the worst storm I ever lived through.

There I was standing watch,
and then I heard the gong.

The what?

The gong.

There's an old native
chief lives on the island.

His name is Tangaroa.

Looks something like
that chap there.

The first thing you hear when
you come near high Barbaree

is Tangaroa banging the gong...

a gong, ooh,
a million times bigger than that one.

I've known that island ever since
I was no bigger than you are.

My grandfather saw it once,

and he heard the gong
on the very same spot...

the time he was
caught in the typhoon.

Yes, sir, and when I saw it,
it was just like he said.

There she was, rising up out
of the mist... High Barbaree.

I wanted to head for it.
I told the captain,

but he said I'd been
visiting my scotch friends.

He ordered me below,

and when he let me on deck again,
it was gone.

So I lost my chance to get ashore.

But I will...
Someday, boy.

Do you know where to find it again?

Of course I do.

One north by 160 east.

Well, here, look.

I'll show it to you on the chart.

Now, let's see...

Solomon Islands,
Guadalcanal, bougainville.

Right there.

Yes, sir!
Right there!

Here's a pencil.

Mark it on the chart, boy.

Mark it on the chart
and make it official.

High Barbaree.

High barbaree.

And I never stopped
thinking about that island.

And whenever uncle Thad
came back to westview,

he and Nancy and I would
always talk about it.

How can you keep
your mind on an island

dreamed up by a drunken old uncle?

Look. That's all
I can think about.

You want to finish it off now?

I've got to.
I can't stand it.

Well, that's that.

Alec.

Yeah.

Where did you say
that fool island was?

One north, 160 east.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Alec, look here.

Hmm?

Here's the position
you just gave me,

and here's our drift so far.

Why, it's like
we laid a course for it!

Yeah, that's right.

We're drifting right towards it.

Can't be much more than
100 miles from here.

This don't make sense.

Why doesn't it?

I've been haunted by high
Barbaree all my life,

and here we are within
just a few miles of it.

That's not just an accident.

I even named this plane
High Barbaree, didn't I?

And that's where
it's trying to take us.

Come on.
Let's help it.

Help it? How?

We'll rig up the sails
with the parachutes.

What are we waiting for?

I might have known I could
depend on uncle Thad.

He promised me I'd get
to High Barbaree.

He never broke a promise yet.

Never left the house
without telling me

he was going to bring me something.

He always kept his word.

On my 11th birthday,
it was a canoe.

Nancy and I were up
at the crack of dawn

down at the railroad
station, waiting.

Suppose uncle Thad
doesn't come, Alec.

You don't know
my uncle Thad, Nancy.

But anybody could forget
since last year...

even to buy a canoe.

Your mother said so, Alec.

Mother doesn't know
uncle Thad, either.

Oh! You scared me
out of 7 years' growth!

It's his birthday, Mrs. Henshaw.

Alec!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

What's the matter
with him? Is he crazy?

Why, no.
He's just happy.

Wahoo!

Alec, the train's coming!
Come down... quick!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Come on!

Board!

Mister, where is the canoe?

Stand aside, son.
Don't bother us.

But where is the canoe?

Now get back.
There's no canoe here.

Stand aside. You'll...
you'll get hurt.

Oh, Alec.

I have a birthday present for you.

I made it myself.

A nice orange necktie.

I dropped several stitches,

but if you tie it
just a certain way...

thanks a lot, Nancy.

Why, somebody must be moving.

Belay there!

You want to chip the paint off her?

Lower her on the lawn.

Easy away.
Easy does it.

My canoe!

It's battleship gray!

Uncle Thad!

Been keeping your weather
eye out for squalls, Alec?

Aw, uncle Thad!

Hey!
Easy with that.

Gosh all mighty!

Gurgle gurgle!

Shh!

Well, Thad!

Thad Vail!

Oh, you've gotten thin.

You always say that.

I ain't took off a ounce
since my last voyage.

And your grammar
hasn't improved a bit.

Well, I guess it ain't.

Alec thinks you're a great man.

Are you, Thad?

Who me? Sure, in places.

When you want to pick her up,

you catch her this-a-way,
and up she goes!

Out of my way, little girl.

Well!

Well, Thad!

Hiya, doctor.

By golly, it's good to see you.

Thanks. Could you tell me...

why didn't you let us
know you were coming?

Thaddy Vail!

Hello, Delly.

I heard you were in town.

I mean,
I just happened to be passing.

I'm glad I came about so prompt.

Oh, Thaddy, you
haven't changed a bit.

Tell me, have I?

No, Delly. I can't say you have.

Where do I stow this?

Uncle Thad, why don't
we stow her on dad's car,

and then go to the river?

That's a good idea.

You sure know a lot about boats.

Yeah, but when I'm ashore,
I'm just a poor flopping fish,

always getting into trouble.

What do you mean?

Well, in this port,
is that there Delly Parkson.

I get a sort of crawly feeling,

like she was fixing to
throw her hooks into me,

matrimoniously speaking.

Gosh! That's terrible.

Can I do anything, uncle Thad?

You'll make a sailor
yet. Yes, sir.

When you see that female getting me

so I don't know wind from water,

you look at me like, uh...

Like there was a shark around,

and say something that nobody
but us can understand.

Uh-huh. Avast. Ease off.
Man overboard.

Avast. Ease off.
Man overboard.

Look, uncle Thad!
A muskrat!

I'll get him.

Alec, watch out!

Well, that will show you more
than I can ever teach you.

It don't pay to
stand up in a canoe.

I'll remember.

Why, Alec, you can swim!

Sure, I can.

Ha! Think of that.

You know me.
I never did pick up the hang of it.

But why ain't you drownded?

Standing on bottom.

Alec, voice-over:
That was a wonderful summer.

Nancy stayed with us while
her parents went to Montana,

and there was uncle Thad and my
canoe and my doctor's office.

Oh, yeah. I had a little
doctor's office of my own

rigged up in the old toolshed.

Sometimes I had as many
as 5 patients.

Come in.

Any visitors allowed, doc?

Help me a minute, will you, Nancy,
while I finish this bandage?

I never had such
a darn wiggly patient.

I thought he only got
a Thorn in his foot.

Why do you need a splint?

I decided a splint was necessary.

Okey-doke, doc.

Know something?

What?

You're going to be a doctor
when you grow up, aren't you?

Sure. You know that.

And I'm going to be a nurse...

Dr. Alec Brooke's nurse.

There now.

We'd better go in, Alec.

Your mother said dinner's ready.

That's the best-tasting beef
I've had since I don't remember.

Della raised that beef on her own farm,
Thad.

You don't say?

The cob corn, too.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised

if she didn't make
the biscuits, also.

That's right.

Well, now, that's amazing.

A half-hour in the house, Delly,

and you whip up a
wonderful meal like this.

Mmm, and your elderberry wine...

They always put bait on hooks.

What?

Just a little shaving
more before we clear off?

No, Delly. I'm loaded
to the gunwales.

Oh, now, that's a pity.

What's the pity of it, Marthy?

Well, peach shortcake.

Yeah. Della's peach shortcake.

Will you serve it, Della?
Uh-huh.

Peach. Well, if there's one thing I'm
partial to, it's peach shortcake.

I remembered.

Did you?

Mm-hmm.

You're wonderful, Delly.

Think of you running that
whole big barn by yourself.

A woman by herself
has to do for herself,

but sometimes I think
it ain't nature.

A woman...
Well, she's timid.

Handling the stock,

bossing them big, coarse hired men,

making out income taxes

till my head fairly whizzes.

Aw, you poor little girl.

What you need on that place,
Della, is a man.

Oh, gosh!

Where would she find the
man good enough for her?

A big, strapping fellow
who'd put his foot down

and give out orders
deep-sea fashion.

But who, Thaddy?

Uh, oh, somebody
for instance like...

Like...

Man overboard!

Alec!

Man overboard!

Alec, what is the matter with you?

I was just reminding uncle
Thad of something, mother.

Remember, uncle Thad?

Oh, sure, sure.
I...

That's a private
signal we have. I...

I promised to show him
my sea charts.

That was the best trip I ever made.

Covered 27,000 miles of ocean,

touched pretty near
1,000 little islands.

Did you see High Barbaree?

No, no.
But I was within 600 miles of it once.

Right there...
Gilbert islands.

And here's High Barbaree.

See where we marked her?

That's right.
Keep your eye on her, boy,

and I bet you I find
her the next time.

You bet you will.

Uncle Thad?

You think your scotch
friends are going to mix

with that elderberry wine?

Why not?
They're both good.

Thad, Della's waiting
for you to see her home,

help carry her dishes and things.

Good, good, good.
Alright, Marthy.

Uncle Thad!

Shh!

Don't you worry.

Don't you worry, boy.

I'm in top form now.

I can handle that Della Parkson,
alright, alright.

Alec, wake up.
Alec, wake up!

What?

Shh!
I'm being pursued.

We got to clear out.

Clear out?

Mm-hmm. Shh!
It's that Delly Parkson.

She's after me.
We're going downriver.

What?!

Yup, straight to the Mississippi.

After that, there's nothing to stop
us this side of the Gulf of Mexico.

Where are my pants?

Whew!

I pretty near made
a fool of myself.

That dang moonlight.

It took 15 years
and 30 pounds off Delly

right before my very eyes,

and the next thing I knew,

she was talking
about getting married.

What did you do to her?

I practically didn't
do anything important,

and I'm not going to get
married just for that.

You're absolutely right.

Hurry up. Hurry up, Alec.
Got all our stores.

Raided the icebox.

Can we take Nancy with us?

A woman?
I'd sooner have a bulldog on shipboard.

Nancy isn't exactly a woman.

She will be.
You mark my word for it.

Come on, Alec, now.
Hurry. Hurry up.

I'm ready.
My toothbrush.

Shh!

Uncle Thad?

I couldn't go without Nancy.

I promised her
that tomorrow we'd...

dang me, Alec!
You'll never make a sailor.

But, uncle Thad,
you said when I promised...

Alright, alright.
Go get her if you promised anything.

But you're not too young to go easy
on the promises you make to women.

Nancy. Nancy!

Oh, sling a rock in at her.

Nancy!

Alec! What are you doing?

We're going to sail
to the Gulf of Mexico.

Wait for me.

Nancy, get your clothes on.

All that time,
that female could be creeping up on me.

Know something, uncle Thad?

When I woke up this morning,
I was dreaming.

I was admiral of a ship
with a white silk sail.

Was I in there?

Sure. You hollered "land ho!"
When we sighted the island.

It was High Barbaree.

It had two volcanos with a Cliff
between them, like in yardley.

There was a surf and seabirds.

That was her, right enough.

I'm going there someday.

I don't mean just when I'm asleep.

I mean really.

You mean we'll really go?

Why,
we're on our way there right now.

I thought we were going
to the Gulf of Mexico.

Oh, no.
That's just a one-night port.

After that, High Barbaree.

Oh, boy!

Foul weather ahead, mates.

Look to your mainsail, bosun.

Aye, aye, sir.

We made port alright

and headed right into foul
weather of another kind.

Uncle Thad met up with
some of his scotch friends

and got separated
from Nancy and me.

It was morning before
we caught up with him.

You got to get that hotel
manager to lend you a dollar.

Then wire your dad and tell
him what a pickle we're in.

Well... Alright.

We'll tend to everything,
uncle Thad.

You just stay right here.

I'm not going to send any telegram.

They'd come and get us.

I'm going to find a job.

Then I can make $10
to pay the judge.

Oh, that's a swell idea!

I'll work hard, mister.

No, no.
I told you I don't need no help.

I'm awfully strong.

Run away, little boy,
and don't bother me.

Alec! Alec!

I've got a job for you.

What is it?

You get $10,
and we get uncle Thad out.

What is it? Where?
What do I do?

You ride a bicycle.
Just ride a bicycle.

$10 just to ride a bicycle?

Come on!

Good boy!
Good boy!

Hold it a little longer, Alec.

Alright.

That sure is right.

Boy!
Everything is easy with a bike like this.

See? I told you, mister.

You can do it!
You can do it!

You certainly know how
to handle that bike.

Well, I guess I can do
anything anybody else can.

Sam, go get bernadino's clothes.

Yes, sir.

And fix up a couple of
plates of stew for the kids.

Yes, sir.

Well, fella, you've
crashed the circus.

What happened to him?

Oh, um...
He just had a little accident.

You understand,
Alec gets $10 for doing this.

You made the deal.

Sam,
see that he's dressed by 9:00.

Your act goes on at 9:23.

Step over this way, son.

There's the shoot.
Take a gander at it.

It...

It's High, isn't it?

You can do it, Alec.
You can do it.

Sure you can.

Sure... I... Can.

Thank goodness for
that fool umbrella.

It was easy to trace.

You're just a great big kid, Thad.

Well, you know how it is, doc.

Yes, yes.
I know, I know,

but you're going to have a tough
time explaining to Martha.

She, uh... Sent
your duds along, Thad.

She did, eh?

Well, I guess maybe
I did overstay my welcome.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
A bicycle act.

Now, if Alec's anywhere,
it'll be here.

Yeah, that's right.
Let's take a look.

Come in and see the most sensational
daredevil of the century,

the great bernadino,
in his gravity-defying death leap.

There he goes!
Hurry, hurry, hurry, folks!

We may as well sit down
till this is over.

Alright, bernadino.

Hop aboard.

Hold on tight.

My!

It's a lot higher looking down.

You ain't scared, is you, boy?

No.

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Boy, you'd better get ready.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I am proud to present
the most spectacular,

the most colossal feat
ever performed by man.

You know something?

Most of those guys break
their necks sooner or later.

Yeah.

...the world-renowned
daredevil, the great bernadino!

Are you ready, captain?

Wave your arms, boy.

Here goes the big boom.

Alec, you did it, you did it!

Nancy!

You were wonderful!

Was I?

Alec!

Uncle Thad!

Alec, are you alright?

Dad!

We were just coming to
get you out of jail.

Break it up, break it up.

What's the idea?

Excuse me.

Did you hire that boy to do that?

Why, yes. I...

oh, you did, eh?

Oh, now, wait a minute, mister.
Wait. I can explain.

Hey, uncle Thad,
wait till I take Nancy out of here.

Hey! Well, here's my bus.

Be good, kids.

Bernadino,
don't you ride off any cliffs.

Doc.

So long, Thad.

Uncle Thad!

Don't go away.

Please don't.

Well,
it was a fine voyage while it lasted.

Come home with us, please.

Your mother doesn't
think my scotch friends

are good enough company
for you and Nancy.

I don't mind, uncle Thad.
Really I don't.

Take good care of her, Alec.

Yes, uncle Thad.

Be seeing you, mates.

Alec, voice-over: Dad was very kind
and understanding on the way home.

He knew how much we were
going to miss uncle Thad.

But finally he had to tell us

that Nancy and I were
going to be separated, too.

Her family was moving to Montana.

My world had suddenly collapsed.

Now, remember,
I expect to hear from you every week.

You will.
Good-bye, Martha.

Bye, bill.

Good-bye. Don't forget you've got
to keep an eye on this fella!

Hey, I'm the one that's
got to keep an eye on her!

Alec, look out.
Get back there. Get!

Good-bye, Nancy.

Won't I ever see you again?

Sure, Nancy.
I told you,

someday we're going to
High Barbaree together.

Yes, Alec, we will.
We will. High Barbaree.

Alec, voice-over:
I guess my heart

pretty nearly broke that day.

Nancy was so completely
a part of my life,

and our dream of going to High
Barbaree seemed a long way off.

Well, brother,
it's still a long way off.

Take a look at that calm.

Not a ripple.

We break our backs
putting up sails,

sweat the last drop of
moisture out of our hides,

and we don't move.

We're not even
drifting anyplace now.

Ah, we'll be alright.
Something will happen.

Yeah, and I know what.

We'll be food for whales.
That's what'll happen.

No. I'd rather go over the side now,
get it done with.

Take it easy, Joe.
We'll get a breeze.

When? If you've got a breeze
up your sleeve, I want it now,

while I'm alive and can feel it.

Go on, miracle man...

dream up a wind that'll blow this
crate to your High Barbaree,

or sink the thing quick.

What was that?

It's the wind!

It's a breeze!

Alright, Joe, tighten the sails!

That's a deal!

One sail tightener,
coming up. Ha ha!

Captain, my captain, here we go.

Boy, are we moving.
Look at that wake!

You know, Brooke,
if this holds out,

we'll be sighting that
dream island tomorrow.

See?
I told you you'd get me believing in it.

Oh, you're going to see
a beautiful place, boy.

Palm trees and flowers
everywhere...

and fresh water.

Fresh water?
Oh, boy!

The way I used to see it,

there was a guy named
Tangaroa who'd meet me there.

He'd grin and laugh and start
leading me to my native house.

Nice old guy.
Always seemed to be kind of tickled

about some secret I wasn't in on.

You mean to tell me you
can remember a dream

you dreamed once a long time ago?

Once? When I was a kid,
I used to dream it over and over again.

Having a repeater dream like that,

doesn't that mean you're nuts?

Could be.

There's a funny thing
about that dream, though.

It was clear up to a point,

and then everything
would get mixed up.

There'd be the lady-slippers,
just like in the woods at home,

and the path I was on would
turn into the old g note road.

Then I used to hurry faster

because I had the idea
someone was waiting for me.

Nancy?

I don't know. That part of the
dream always kind of faded out.

Anyway, as I grew older,
I stopped having the dream at all.

Matter of fact,
I forgot about Nancy, too.

But didn't you ever wonder
what sort of a woman

she turned out to be?

Oh,
I had a lot of other things on my mind.

After two years at Harvard med.
, I gave up the idea of being a doctor

and went in for aviation.

Boy, what a smart guy.
Some switch.

Well, I'd met Diana Case.

Her father owned the new
aircraft plan in westview.

I get it.
Ha ha!

Oh, I got to be one of those slick,
know-it-all executives,

regular big shot...

I thought.

It's hard to believe you
made that takeoff you claim,

lifted her like that,
with a full gas load.

We sure did.

You're in for a surprise when
we test her tomorrow, colonel.

It's my job to find fault, case.

This canopy bothers me.

Can you give us a
little more visibility?

We think so.
We're trying for more all the time.

I'm having a meeting with our
engineers this afternoon.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Miss Case is calling
for her father.

Alright.

Diana's here to pick you up, sir.

Couldn't wait for tonight.

Calls for me to get
an extra look at him.

Alright.
Come along, colonel.

First thing I know,
she'll be calling for him,

and I suppose I'll
have to walk home.

Yeah.

Your mother is
on the wire, Mr. Brooke.

Fine. Put her on.
Then send Boyd and Jones in.

Yes, mother.

Nancy who?

Nancy Fraser?

No, I can't possibly pick her up.

I've got to see a couple of
guys about a lot of visibility.

I'm sorry, mom.
Bye-bye.

Mom, why aren't you dressed?

We'll be late for the party.

It's been such an exciting day...

so many nice surprises.

Your father finally agreed
to wear his dinner jacket.

Oh, and I just called Mrs. case.

She said by all means
to bring Nancy.

Now, what are we going to do
at a party with that kid?

Well, maybe even a kid
might like a party.

I have it. Why don't you send
out for one of those sitters?

Ha ha ha!

Hello, Alec.

Hello.

Nancy?

Oh, I'd have known you anywhere.

Same red hair, same freckles...

very nice, too.

Well, I'll be darned.

Hey, you're big!

Oh, not so very,
but I see what you mean.

It's been a long time.

Well, what do you know?

Braces gone and those
funny pigtails.

What did you do to your hair?

And your legs!

I turned them in.

Get a new model every year.

Ha ha!
Well, for my money,

you can keep this year's job.

Well, thank you, sir.
That's very encouraging.

Well, well.
Isn't anybody but me going to this party?

You know, it'll take us an
hour to drive into the city.

I guess I better get dressed.

Well, what do you know?

You girls better step on it, too.

Alright.
Come along, dear.

Nancy, put on your very best duds.

Lots of competition tonight.

Big-city folks,
this Case family.

Tuxedos in the summertime.

I hope they don't mind mothballs.

Ohh...

Happy?

Mm-hmm. You?

Couldn't be happier.

I like redheads.

Oh, you brave girl.

Sorry, boys,
but the next dance is mine.

She is very attractive, isn't she?

I guess so, if you like that type.

Which you don't.

Oh, you're so right.

The tall, slinky type...
That's for me.

How did you happen to ask
her for this weekend?

Oh, stop kidding.
I told you,

I haven't seen Nancy
for over 10 years.

10 years can make
a lot of difference.

Oh, sure.
She was a kid then.

Today, she's...
She's a woman.

I thought you'd noticed that.

Oh, stop it.
Ha ha ha!

Excuse me, Alec.

May I break up this happy couple,
just for one dance?

Of course, colonel.

I promise to return her
safe and sound.

Mind if I take your girl, dad?

I certainly do.

Sorry, pop.

Very poor choice, young lady.

Women are like that.
No judgment.

Well, why bother with it?

When you have a new hairdo
and new legs and...

and can dance like a breeze.

Yes. Ha ha ha!

Sorry, doc.

Doc.

Oh, that sure takes me back.

Yes. It takes me back, too.

Well,
what have you been doing all these years?

Plenty.

No. No kidding.

I want to know all about you.

Well, to begin with,
I'm a Navy nurse.

A Navy nurse?
I don't believe it.

No, honestly.
I've been at Pearl harbor for a year.

I'm on my way back now.

Well, what do you know?

You always said you were
going to be a nurse.

Dr. Alec Brooke's nurse.

Kids say the darnedest things.

So you actually did
what you planned.

I never thought
of doing anything else.

Nancy, how did you happen
to come back here just now?

You've never been in Honolulu?

Uh-uh.

Out there,
they've got a place called diamond head.

It rises right out on the pacific,
against the sky.

First time I saw it, I...

I thought it was High Barbaree.

High Barbaree?

Every time I looked up at it,

I thought of uncle Thad and...

And the rest of the brookes.

Well, one night I was out sailing

with an awfully nice Navy man,

a lieutenant Miller.

He asked me to marry him,

and it was a beautiful night.

I looked up at High Barbaree...

I mean diamond head,

and suddenly I had a feeling.

I wanted to see westview again,

and so I...

I told him I'd give him my
answer when I came back.

And have you made up your mind?

Yes.

Well, go on.
What are you going to tell him?

Would you really like to know?

Of course.

May I?
After all, Brooke,

we can't let you have
all the beautiful girls.

Look toward your future,
darling, not your past.

Alec.

What?

I just told dad he
could announce it.

Oh, wonderful.
Wonderful.

Happy?

I couldn't be happier.

And now, my friends,

if I may take just a
moment of your time.

I'm not going to make a speech...

Though I'd like to,

because I've never felt
happier in my life.

I am simply going to say

that it makes Mrs.
Case and me very proud

to announce the engagement

of our only daughter,
Diana, to Alec Brooke.

A toast, a toast.

To Alec and Diana.

Thanks a lot, bill.

Don't let being engaged
keep you awake.

Well, hello.

Hello, Alec.

What are you doing out
here this time of night?

Oh, just dreaming
an old dream or two.

Ha ha!

Our house looks just the same.

Hmm... Needs a coat of paint.

Are they nice...
the people who live in it now?

You know, I like
the frasers better.

Alec, listen. The locusts.

Yeah.

They're striking the old g note.

I was always going to explore
the old g note road...

to its very end. Remember?

Yes.

Won't I ever see you again?

Sure, Nancy. Someday we'll go
to High Barbaree together.

Gosh, that was a long time ago.

How is uncle Thad?

Oh, he's fine.

Still sailing the pacific.

I wonder if he ever
found High Barbaree.

Never had time, I guess.

I guess.

Yeah.

Diana's very lovely.

Mm-hmm.

You're happy, aren't you, Alec?

Yes. I guess I've got just about
everything a young guy could want.

I'm glad.

Remember how we used to talk
about you being a doctor?

Yeah.

It was the most vital
thing in your life then.

Alec, how could
you give all that up

so suddenly, so completely?

I can't afford to be a doctor.

Oh, you wouldn't understand.

I think I do.

I don't talk about
being a doctor anymore,

but I think about it.

I wanted to be a doctor.

I went to medical
school for two years,

but it would have taken
me 5 more to get a start.

Medicine takes too long,
costs too much.

Look at my father.

He's worked like a
dog his whole life,

and what's he got for it?

No, that's...
That's not for me.

When did you begin to fly, Alec?

Oh, while I was in high school.

And how did you happen to
go to work for Mr. case?

He kept after me right
from the first time

Diana took me to the house.

Finally, he offered me a job
that I couldn't turn down,

and, well, I've...
I've made good, Nancy.

Of course you have, Alec.

You've always made good.

You always will.

Goodnight, Alec

goodnight, Nancy.

Oh, Nancy.

How would you like to go flying
with me tomorrow morning?

Why, I'd love it.

You wouldn't be afraid, would you?

With you, Mr. bernadino?

Oh, the great bernadino.

My big moment.

I'll never forget it.

I'll never forget that mustache.

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Wahoo!

Ha ha ha!

Wahoo!

Ha ha ha!

How'd you like that?

Wait till I see if
I'm all in one piece.

I have to hand it to you.
You weren't scared.

Of course not.
I told you I wasn't going to be.

Come on. I want to
show you my office.

Alright.

Morning, Mr. Brooke.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mrs. Fairmont.

Oh, Mr. Brooke,
Mr. Hoffman of consolidated wire

has been calling from Chicago.

Fine. Would you get him
right back, please?

Oh! This is a pretty elegant
layout you got here.

You really like it?

I'm overwhelmed.

Air-conditioned.
Soundproofed.

Where's the kitchenette?

A little more respect in here,
please.

Oh, come here.

There's the baby we're
going to test today.

Oh, good luck.

The 20% flap flying position

gives the ship better
lateral stability.

The automatic wing slot
arrangement is new.

Anything new about its
intestines and esophagus?

Can't you get your mind
off medicine for a minute?

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Mr. Hoffman's
on the wire.

Oh, fine. Put him on.

Good morning, Mr. Hoffman.
This is Alec Brooke.

Uh, I'm sorry. Mr. case
isn't here just now.

Well, I have the authority.

I'm vice president
in charge of that.

Oh, vice president.
He's in charge of that.

And it's been tested
at subzero temperature?

Good.

Yes, it looks like we'll
get a government contract.

I'll know this morning
after the test.

I'll let you know.

Oh, dear, yes.
He'll let you know.

That's why vice
presidents are born.

Right.

Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.

Good-bye.

Ha ha ha!

What do you mean,
trying to break me up?

Don't you know that was $2
million I was talking to?

$2 million?

Yes.

Really?

Ha ha ha!
You kill me.

Well, hello!

Hello, darling.

You're up early, miss Fraser.

It was such a lovely morning.

Wasn't it?

Yes. I just took Nancy
up for a little ride.

Oh? Well,
I don't want to interrupt your work,

but I thought you might like to see

the stories of our engagement.

Yes, I saw them.

That's a nice picture of you.

It did turn out well, didn't it?

Engagements cause such excitement.

Don't they, miss Fraser?

Yes, they do.

Oh, I must be running along.

Oh, and, sweet, the great-aunts

are coming to tea this
afternoon just to meet you.

5:30 is the absolute deadline.

Maybe you'd like to come,
too, miss Fraser.

No, thank you.
I'm leaving today.

Oh? Sorry.
You will be prompt, won't you?

Oh, of course.

Otherwise,
your baby might be very cross.

Good-bye, miss Fraser.

Bye.

That was $2 million talking to you.

What kind of a crack is that?

I'm sorry, Alec.
I didn't mean it the way it sounded.

Alec, I...

oh. Good morning, miss Fraser.

Good morning, Mr. case.

Good-bye, Alec.

Thank you for everything.
It's been fun.

You can't walk home, Nancy.
It's over two miles.

Wait a minute.

Bad weather report's come in.
I've postponed today's test.

Oh, no. We've postponed
it twice already.

You'd better catch colonel Taylor

at the hotel and explain.

We'll keep him informed.

Can't we try?
The colonel wanted to get away tonight.

I'll talk to the tower.

No use taking chances.

I want this plane tested under
perfect weather conditions.

The army won't fly it
under perfect conditions.

Now, now, now.
Just leave this decision to me.

It's not your responsibility.

Come on. Be a good boy.

Phone Taylor. Save
him a trip out here.

Okay.

I don't like putting off the army

just to play safe
with his investment.

Looks like you'll have
to learn to like it.

What do you mean by that?

If you want to go on
being the young guy

who's got everything a
young guy could want.

I'll get a car to take you home.

Oh, Alec, why don't
you Chuck all this?

Why don't you go back
to medical school?

Oh, giving it to me straight, huh?

Oh,
I haven't the time to be subtle.

I may never see you again.

Oh, you don't belong here, Alec.

It's a waste.
You could be a great doctor.

I know what I'm doing.

But you wouldn't have
to be a country doctor.

You could be a surgeon
or go in for research.

Diana will take you no matter what.

She wants you.
She'll wait.

I can run my own affairs.

Well, the cases are
running them now.

You'll go on carrying
out Mr. Case's orders,

and 10 years from now,
you'll have the girl

and the business
and your 2 million,

but you'll find out
you've wasted your life

doing what you didn't like!

What's all this got to do with you?

Nothing!

Then what are you crying about?

Who's crying?

You are.

I am not...
Very much.

If I cry,
it will be over something important,

not over somebody who
wants a million dollars

to marry the boss' daughter.

Don't tell me how to live my life.

Dad can't live it for me.
Mother can't.

You can't.
Now, will you get out?

Oh, yes! Yes, I'm getting out!

And you stay here and be a good,
obedient boy!

Call colonel Taylor and
tell him the test is off!

Yeah?

Colonel Taylor and the
commission are at the field.

I'll be right over.

Sorry, colonel. That was
a pretty sloppy takeoff,

but it proves you can just about fly
out of a shell hole if you have to.

Now, if you want to spot some artillery
fire or do some photographing,

just slow it down and go to work.

Now, if they open up
on you with small ground fire,

you get going.

Evasive action, the boys call it.

Oh, you...
you big red-headed dope!

If you have to land
in a battle area,

have them clear a 50-foot circle
and set her down. Watch.

Congratulations, Brooke.
It certainly is a deal.

You really liked
that job, eh, colonel?

Beautiful job flying,
I have to admit it.

Come on. This calls for a celebration.
Come on.

Hurry up with those things, Mac.

Yes, sir!

Colonel just can't wait
to drink to our plane.

You showed me, boys.
You certainly showed me.

We told you you'd be surprised.

And don't you ever try
a thing like that again.

Why, when I...

excuse me, Mr. case.

Thanks, Mac.
You know, for a couple of minutes there,

I thought we were going to be
minus one good vice president.

Well, here's to the fellow

who's going to be running this
shebang one of these days.

Always wanted a son.
Now I've got one.

Hey, look!
I never saw anything like this before!

It's a tornado!

Alec, voice-over:
That was the worst tornado

that ever struck Iowa.

The river overflowed, and both
Bridges were washed out.

For 48 hours, westview
was absolutely cut off.

No doctors or nurses could get in,

and dad was
the only doctor in town.

Hundreds of people were hurt.

All during that first
horrible night,

we were digging the injured
out of the debris.

Alec, your father needs you bad!

He's over at the church.

You'd better get over there.
We'll do this.

Take him up front, if you please.
Right up front.

Alec!

Dad, what's the matter?
What happened?

The wind turned his car over.

Tied a couple of knots in my arm.
Nancy.

I'll get you some tea.

Nancy.

Yes, doctor?

Get Ned Flynn on the
operating table right away.

Yes, doctor.

Compound fracture.
Blood vessel badly torn.

He's going into shock.

We've got to stop the bleeding,
or he'll die.

But, dad, you can't.
Your arm...

you're going to do it for me.

Oh, dad, I...
I can't.

Find that artery that's gushing.

Now take a hemostat
and clamp it off.

Easy.

There's a bone splinter.

Get it out.

Get it out.

Now the sutures.

Careful.

That's it.

Good boy.

I'm sure glad that's over.

We'll have a dozen more of
them before morning. Come on.

He'll be alright.

It's just exhaustion.

Are you sure?

You run along.
He's sleeping now.

Alec, will you
come with me, please?

Dr. Brooke...

This is Dr. Brooke.
He's going to help you.

Get him ready.
We'll come right back.

I'm not Dr. Brooke,
and I'm not going to operate.

That piece of steel went
right through his stomach.

I can't handle that.

There's a chance for him,

and you've got to
see that he gets it.

I can't without dad.

The case is as bad
as the man who just died.

It's your job, Alec.
You have no choice.

Well, get him ready.

Then sit down for a minute.

Can't you tell when you're all in?

Nancy, this just came for you.

They must be
getting things fixed up.

I hope so.
Give this to miss Jones, please.

How can I?
I don't know enough.

I can't take the responsibility.

Oh, Alec, you can.
You're a doctor.

You're a real doctor.

I'm not a doctor.

That was just an emergency.
I did all I could.

I wouldn't have
a dirty job like this

if it was the only one on earth.

I've chosen my profession, and you
and Nancy can't do anything about it.

Now, will you lay off?

Alec, the plane's in:
Doctors, nurses, everything.

Thank god.

I guess every one of us
could use some sleep.

Nancy, you look all tired out.

Sit down and let me
get you some coffee.

No. The planes are getting through.
I'm going to leave.

Leave? You can't!

I want to get out
of here. Now. I must.

Oh. You heard him.

Yes, I did.

Alec.

Alec!

Alec!

What?

Diana's calling you.

Diana?

Yes.
She's on the phone.

What time is it?

5:00.

Oh, it's so early.

5:00 in the afternoon.
You slept straight through.

What?

Yes. I'll tell her to wait.

Hello, Diana.
How are you?

Well,
I tried to call you several times,

but the lines were down.

Then I heard you were alright,
so...

Yeah.

Diana, I'd like to see you tonight.

I want to talk something over,
something serious.

Good.
See you tonight.

Bye-bye.

How's dad, mom?

Your father's very well today,
thank you.

Boy, am I starved.

Ha ha!
Please, don't be mad

just because you've got a
red-headed dope for a son.

That's your fault.

Did anyone say I was angry?

Oh, I'm sorry I flew
off the handle.

I'll try to make up for it today,

if you'll let me.

I know something
you'd like to hear.

I'm going back to medical school,
mother.

Oh, I should have known.

I should have!

Yesterday when you
began to storm at me...

Just like your father.

He always barks at me
whenever he's upset,

whenever he has to make
an important decision.

Where's Nancy?
I want to tell her.

Nancy? Nancy's gone.

Gone where?

To San Francisco.

What?

Yes. She took that
plane out last night.

Where is she...
in San Francisco, I mean?

I don't know.

You don't know?

You mean you let her
go to San Francisco

and didn't find out where she went?

Hello?

Oh, hello, Mr. Fraser.
This is Alec Brooke.

Mr. Fraser, do you know where

I could reach Nancy?

Well, I couldn't find her there.

That's why I called you.

Why, she sailed today
from San Francisco.

Yeah. With her husband,
a Navy man.

What did you say?

That's fine.

I said, that's fine.

Alec, voice-over: I tried to
tell myself that it wasn't true.

Are you listening, Joe?

I couldn't believe that Nancy
could cut me out of her life

so deliberately, so finally.

That was the worst thing
that ever happened to me.

Worse than this?

No. I guess not.

Hey.

Yeah.

Go on talking.
It keeps me awake.

I'm afraid to go to sleep.

Hang on, Joe.
We'll get to High Barbaree.

We'll be there in a little while.

You and your cockeyed island.

Tell me, did you ever
see Nancy again?

Well, after the tornado,

I went back to Harvard med.

Then a little thing like
Pearl harbor came along.

Are you listening, Joe?

This is where you come in.

Remember that last
mission before this one?

We'd been out all afternoon,

looking for a ditched hellcat.

Then along about sunset,
we headed back for guadal.

Hey, look.
There's a convoy in.

We could sure use that cargo.

I hope they've got some
of that good Iowa beef.

Looks like
the High Barbaree's ready.

Hello, lieutenant.

No luck, commander.
We didn't find the plane.

Alright.
Lewis can make your report, Brooke.

You're wanted down at the beach.

Why?

The beach master phoned.

Some gold-braid
wants to see you.

Make it snappy.
You've got to get back.

You're on night patrol.

But my crew needs sleep.

Sorry. We're
shorthanded tonight.

You'll go out in your old plane.

You've got 3 hours.

Alright.

Uncle Thad!

Ha ha ha!

Hi.

Yeah, it's me, alright,

big as life and twice
as ugly, eh, Alec?

I must be dreaming!

No, no. I just kept asking
all around the pacific.

Saw two guys from your outfit when
I hit the beach this morning,

and here you are.

You sure are a sight
for sore eyes, boy.

Well, look at you!

Yeah. Regular Navy.

I put it on special for you.

Aw...

Oh, stop grinning at me that way.

I... I haven't cried since
they sunk the Ojibwa.

They got her?

Her and two others,
shot right out from under me.

I pretty near learned
to swim, Alec.

Oh, you'd be surprised
what you can do sometimes.

Oh, no, I wouldn't, uncle Thad.

Ha ha!
Go on up to my cabin.

I'll break out something
to celebrate with.

You haven't brought your scotch
friends aboard?

Ha ha ha!

Go on.
Get up there.

Maybe I can pull a miracle.

Hello.

Nancy.

I knew you were...

Oh, Alec!

Why did you leave me? Why?

You didn't want me.

Oh, I did, I did,
but I was completely off the beam.

How could you run away
and marry somebody else?

Oh, I didn't, Alec.
I couldn't.

Oh, Nancy.

Oh, Alec, I couldn't marry

anyone but you.

There just couldn't be anyone else.

What are you crying about?

Oh, I...

I think I'm asking you to marry me,

and I think maybe if I cry,

you'll do something about it.

We've loved each other
all our lives, haven't we?

We've lost so much time.

Are we going to be cheated
out of everything?

No, not cheated, Nancy.

We can never be cheated now,
no matter what.

You've got to look at it this way:

We've had so much...

born in the best possible place,
brought up decently,

given a chance to learn,
love things.

As kids, we had the lady-slippers
and the old water tower.

Even High Barbaree.

If you ask me, I think that's
kind of hitting the jackpot.

Look. There's part
of our dream now.

Look how the moon makes
a path on the water.

Yes.

Like the old g note road.

Over the earth and back again.

No beginning, no end, darling.

Sorry, mates.

It's time to say so long.

Right, skipper.

See you soon.

See you soon.

Alec, voice-over:
She was the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen, Joe,

standing there on the
deck of the old Osborne,

waving at me,

and that was the
last time I saw her.

Alec, are you sure of our position?

I'm checking it now, Joe,

just like you asked me.

We're there.

We're right on the spot.

Do you see it?

No, but it's here.

It's got to be here.

Yeah, sure.
It's got to be here.

Well?

It's too foggy.

You can't see very far.

But it will show up later.

You're a liar.
There's no island.

You poor guy.

I've always believed in it.

Why?

What for?

Why has my whole life

led me to this spot?

For nothing.

I can't believe it.

Oh, Joe, you...

You can't...

Can't...

The lord hath given.

The lord hath taken away.

The lord hath taken away.

The lord hath taken away.

Taken away.

There's no sign of life on it.

They don't answer our guns.

Don't get your hopes up.

We don't know what we'll find.

He's alive, uncle Thad.
I know he's alive.

Don't go to sleep, Joe.

Don't go to sleep.

Welcome.

Welcome!

What happened?

I thought I heard a gong.

Yes. That was to call you in.

Who are you?

I am Tangaroa.

Tangaroa?

Yes.

I'm Alec Brooke,
lieutenant, U.S. Navy.

Yes.

That means,
"you're welcome, my son."

We'll go now.

Where are we going?

To see if your house
is ready for you.

Oh, yes. My house.

Look,
there are lady-slippers everywhere!

Yes, but here,
we have a different name for them.

Is all this...
Is everything here a dream?

Who can say, young man?

Perhaps the big thing

which we call life
is itself a dream.

Perhaps to even leave it
with pain is also a dream,

and what comes after, perhaps,

is the best dream of all.

Each man has his own life,

each man, his own dream.

Look.

It's the g note road!

Tangaroa, it's the g note
road I knew when I was a kid!

Then follow it, Alec Brooke.

Alec!

Alec, here I am!

Nancy!

Nancy!

Nancy!

Nancy.

Nancy.

Nancy!

It's alright, Alec.

It's alright.

Oh, darling.

I dreamt we were on High Barbaree.

We are, darling.
