...when we English invaders go home.
By the way,
what's your word for money?
Money? What is money?
All right, I'll explain. Which would you
choose? The shilling or the nail?
Oh, no, Hitihiti. With one of these
you can buy 20 of these.
- Oh? Where?
- Well, in England.
You see, in England, you must
have money to live with to buy food.
In island of England, no fruit on tree?
- No fish in the sea?
- Oh, yes. Plenty.
No money, no food?
- That's right.
- I stay here.
MAN:
Byam, ahoy!
Sounds like Christian.
- Well, it can't be.
- Maybe so.
Hitihiti, you got him leave!
Byam!
Fletcher!
CHRISTIAN: Ahoy, Robinson Crusoe.
- Fletcher!
I'd given up on seeing you
ashore and Hitihiti never even winked.
When he came aboard wearing that hat,
even the articles of war failed Mr. Bligh.
HITIHITl:
Christian. Christian. Lieutenant.
Thank you
for speaking to the captain.
The sea is good, but the earth
is good also. Be at home.
It's good to be ashore again.
I've been as restless as...
CHRISTIAN: Can you speak Tahitian yet?
BYAM: Like a native.
Why, you little powder monkey!
If you cross my hawse again, I'll
spank your little starboard, understand?
- Yes.
- Yes?
- Well, I didn't know you speak English.
- Yes.
- You must think me a perfect fool.
- Yes.
- Well, does she or doesn't she?
- Yes. She speak English. One word: Yes.
Mr. Byam, your Tahitian dictionary.
Madam.
[BYAM SPEAKING TAHITIAN]
BYAM:
This is Hitihiti's granddaughter.
[BYAM SPEAKING TAHITIAN]
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
- What did she say?
- You must be a king in your country.
What?
If His Majesty could see her...
...as I see her now,
he'd forgive the error.
- Shall I tell her that?
- No, no. Just say thank you.
[BYAM SPEAKING TAHITIAN]
Byam...
...your friend is wise.
He looks, he understand.
You make word,
you understand nothing.
No work today. Go swim, all.
Come along, Fletcher. I'll show you
an island you'll never forget.
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
- You can't imagine what it's...
- Byam.
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
They'd like to come with us,
if you don't object.
- Object?
- I thought not.
[SPEAKING TAHITIAN]
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
Christian?
Aren't they amazing? I never knew
there were such people in the world.
They're simple and kind,
and yet, somehow, they're royal.
Hm? What did you say?
Nothing.
I'm sorry.
I was just thinking...
...what a contrast to the ship.
[HORN BLOWING]
[SPEAKING TAHITIAN]
Tehani wants to race me. Come on!
[LAUGHING]
[SPEAKING TAHITIAN]
- Oh.
- What's wrong?
He comes from the ship.
- Captain Bligh's orders.
- Bligh?
You're to report onboard immediately.
Oh, I am? Byam, I know his game!
He gives me leave and recalls it to devil
me into insubordination. I'll oblige him!
I'll have one day off that ship
if I swing for it! Tell him I refuse!
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
What did she say?
The man will tell Captain Bligh
you can't be found.
Oh, thank you.
I'm sorry I lost my temper.
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
She says you were magnificent,
like a storm at sea.
- Thanks for your kindness.
- You will come again?
That rests with you and the captain.
- You will come again.
- Thank you.
Byam, it's been a day.
Goodbye, Maimiti.
[SPEAKS TAHITIAN]
- Goodbye, all.
- Goodbye, Fletcher.
[DRUMMING]
[SINGING]
[LAUGHING]
[SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]
- Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, Mr. Stewart.
Mr. Bligh wishes you to report to him
as soon as you come aboard, sir.
Thank you, Mr. Stewart.
- Reporting, sir.
- You relieve my anxiety.
I was about to send an armed
shore party to look for you.
- I had your permission, sir.
- You're a fine figure of a king's officer.
If I could prove to that native you're a
liar, they'd arrest you! You'll regret this!
Before this voyage is over,
you'll know who's master here!
Mr. Bligh, I have in mind the dead
seaman you had flogged in Portsmouth.
He struck his captain.
You'd like me to strike you.
- Well, I won't do it.
- Very clever, Mr. Christian.
