"Not until the ninth day of departure from Tahiti, did we finally arrive at the coral island Raroia." "Every seventh wave is larger." "So the crew has to time it, so the boat can surf over the dangerous coral reef." "Where's Dad?" "This really went like clockwork." "What a guy!" "Kaoko, what are you doing here?" "I live here." "Toukurangis, the chief is my Dad." "See you later." "The last bit of Toukurangis entertainment program is a spear dance, which at the time when the Raroia people were still cannibals, really was a kind of military drill." "Are we initiated in the Polynesian way now, Dad?" "Yes, this also means, that the village has adopted all of us." "Adopted?" "At my age?" "Sjussov's map is similar to a real treasure map." "They ask about a huge stone, which looks like a man's head." "Well, now we're isolated from the outside world, until the next schooner arrives." " When will that be, do you think?" " It may take several months." "Worthy successor to Sven Hedin." "Onward to adventure, forward march!" "Swedish Radio presents" "Villervalle in the South Pacific" "The Doctor Arrives" " Are you crazy?" " Rise and shine!" "Well hold on, then!" "Ow!" "Good morning, dear Grandma!" "Good morning, urchins!" " Yes, come in!" " Good morning, Doctor Botman!" "Yes, very funny." " Was that you?" " Yes." "Were you pretenting to be a cabbage roll last night, Mom?" "Yes, you might well say that." "Hey, Ernst, that table that you promised to cobble together in a jiffy, go ahead with it now." "There's someone calling out." "Maybe it's someone who wants something." " But Ernst." " Yes." "No, it was a man with a dog." "It may not be to us, he was calling." "Oh, Dad you can be so dumb." "What do you mean?" "Don't you remember that the chief adopted us... and gave us Polynesian names at the welcome party last night?" "It's you who's Varoa." "Varoa." "Varoa Botman, go out and see what the man wants!" "I don't understand it." "He just stuck the rope in my hand." "Yeah, thanks, I saw it." "I don't understand it either." "But it was nice all the same." "Is the table ready, Ernst?" "What a neat table, Dad!" "The awl is great to make holes with." "Dinner on the floor again, Märta!" "Didn't he say at all, what the dog is called?" "No, not what breed it is, either." "Or why we got it." "But what should we call the dog, then?" "Since we don't know anything about the dog, I suggest that we call it "Question Mark"." "Yes, bravo Villervalle!" " If we decide to keep it." " Of course, we should keep it." "Yes, yes, we'll see." "Well, we have much to do." "Ernst, ensure that the table is ready." "And you children, help Grandma to unpack." "So, take away the dog." " What are they eating?" " What did you say, Mommy dearest?" "You heard well enough." "It's the third day in a row that we've received a similar mutt." "Similar!" "This is Exclamation Mark, this is Question Mark and this is Little Comma." "I really hope then, that we'll soon reach "Full Stop"." " Hello, Villervalle." " Hello, Kaoko." "Mom, Dad, Kaoko and Tetohu have returned from the windward side!" "He wants to know, why you not eat dogs?" "Does he really mean that they eat dogs?" "I'd rather die than taste roast dog." "Do you eat hot dogs, I mean dog steak, like these?" "Yes, very good." "You like eat yourself." "You all eat very much." "Yes, we all ate roast dog at the welcome party yesterday." "And we thought it was delicious." "My goodness." "I feel sick." "Me, too." "It's too late to get sick now." "A very interesting custom, by the way." "I think I'm going to... to go and make some notes about it immediately." "Take away... the dogs." "But let's at least keep Question Mark, as he's so friendly with everyone." "Yes, keep him then, but get rid of the other punctuation marks." "Dad's carpentry, not so bad, eh?" "Where did Dad go?" "Ernst!" "There, he is." "Hey, nice!" "It's really cleverly done, Ernst." " Really nice!" " Nice job, dad." "Hurrah for Dad Flintstone." "Now we have the pleasure to gather for the first family council on Raroia, to discuss work and the children's schooling." "What a pleasure, huh." "Listen, it's awfully ugly to hang over the table like that." "And dangerous, too, because of the table." "As you know, I expect that all of you will help me with my research." "Of course this doesn't mean that the children may neglect their schooling." "So let's begin by making a school schedule." "There's a fire!" "The meeting is suspended." " How did this happen, exactly?" " He got a shower of gasoline over himself." " A shower of gasoline?" " Yes, he was filling his nice new lamp, and then he dropped a burning cigarette in the gasoline container." "His wife is so angry at him because the lamp is destroyed." "Never mind the lamp.The main thing is that he survived, isn't it?" "No, I don't like his wife." "New men, she can get a hold of as many as she wants, she says, but a new lamp is much more difficult to obtain and costs a lot more money." "I've done nothing but pulled out teeth all day." "Oh, my goodness, what teeth!" "What do you mean, Dad?" "She has almost no teeth at all." "The whole village is almost completely toothless." "Many are not more than 20 years old." "I wonder what they eat, actually." "There we have one we must take out immediately." " Hand me a syringe." " Which one do you want?" " 5 ml, 2 percent." " With or without Excedrin?" "With." "Here you are." "Dad, there's a man out there." "He wants you to go with him now." " What is it, then?" " I don't know, but he wants you to go with him right away." " Tell him, I'm coming." " Okay." "What's the matter, Dad?" "A woman in labour." "So you stay out here and wait." "Dad!" "Do you know, that in the South Seas all the women give birth to children standing." "I read it." "You read it in a book that I wrote." "But thank you." "They've always had men as midwives here on Raroia." "Come in!" "What's the white sticky stuff, she has on her face, Dad?" "It's fetal fat that she has from her mother's belly." "But now they don't wash it off until after 24 hours." "What day is it today, Dad?" "Thursday the 13th of December." "But then it's St. Lucia day!" "Yes." "Shall we go home and sing for the others?" "Yeah!" "Let's do it, Dad." "# Night walks with..." "Night walks with a heavy step." "# Night walks with a heavy step," "# Round yard and hearth," "# As the sun departs from earth," "# Shadows are brooding." "# Look, at our threshold stands, # white-clad with lights in her hair," "# Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia." "# Look, at our threshold stands, # white-clad with lights in her hair," "# Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia." "How sweet you are!" "Well, unfortunately, we were unable to bake any St. Lucia buns." "Here, they should be called St. Lucia hot dogs instead." "Don't mention the dog steak again." "Dad became a father today." " No, what fun, Ernst!" " And everything went well?" " Yes, a healthy child." " Boy or girl?" "A little Lucia, of course." "Here on the island they don't celebrates St. Lucia day well at all." "No, they probably have no idea what it's about." "Then I think we should shed some light on it." "Well..." "Hey, we'll sing to Toukorangi first." "If we hurry, he won't have time to wake up." "Please Villervalle, may we drink our coffee first?" "# Night walks with a heavy step," "# Round yard and hearth," "# As the sun departs from earth," "# Shadows are brooding." "# There in our dark house," "# Walking with lit candles," "# Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia." "# There in our dark house," "# Walking with lit candles," "# Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia." " They ran away!" " It's not so strange, the way you look." "Have you found out why Toukorangi was so scared?" " Yes, he thought we were pit ghosts." " Pit ghosts?" "Yes, a kind of ghost, that lives on the windward side of the island." "And they say, that the ghosts are dressed just as we were." "Oh well, ghost stories, they're apparently everwhere." "Lenalisa and Villervalle, this is your first correspondence lesson in geography and history." "From now, make sure you crack down on your reading." " Kaoko and I were going to go..." " Villervalle, it's like I've been saying." " Yes, but we'd help you over there..." " It's very nice of you... to want to help me with my research." "But first, the work and homework." "Then go fishing." "Subtitles by Faxeholm and Squashy Hat"
