"Still, out of good needs to fight evil." "Crusoe!" "Let me out." "Let me out!" "Crusoe!" "You're lucky that trap's not finished." "It's getting poisonous spikes fitted tomorrow." "I will kill you, Crusoe, or die in the attempt." "That now is my pledge." "Your cage will not hold me." "Game's over, Friday." "And when I get out..." "You got a fever?" "Because you look like your sick." "Save your false words." "Poison?" "Poison?" "Snake bite?" "So, you confess?" "What's your medicine for snake bites?" "Wiley snake, infernal serpent." "Tell me." "You have to help me." "I am not your lieutenant!" "Look at me." "This is serious." "Hey, Friday!" "Don't pass out on me." "No, no, no." "Friday?" "Enemy" "of mankind." "I will get you an antidote." "Okay?" "You'll be all right." "You have my word." "Traitor, traitor." "What we needed was gangrene." "One more word, it will be your last, I swear." "Snake bite, snake bite."

"Snake bite?" "Where is it?" "Show me the wound." "It's not me, it's Friday." "Don't do that." "Two days it took me to sort things out." "From A to J and K to Z." "J!" "Jergon Sacha." "Which is a parasitic vine." "It has to be freshly harvested before it flowers." "Distinctive by its semblance of a snake, the flower should be Chopped, immersed in liquid and immediately ingested."

"He'll be dead by now." "What?" "Immediately ingested." "It's an urgent Cure." "I'm sorry, you're too late." "I shouldn't have left him." "He didn't know me." "He swore he'd kill me." "Doesn't sound like snake bite to me." "If it's not a snake bite, he could still be alive." "Come with me?" "Come and see him." "No, no listen." "Listen." "I'll give you anything you want, everything I have is yours." "Money, gold." "Please, this is the last thing I'll ask of you, I swear." "Please." "All right." "Hello, boy." "Friday." "Friday?" "On his shoulder." "You will fail." "Out of goods that fight evil." "Why would I do evil?" "Hold him still." "And the thought of lost happiness and lasting pain torments him."

"Don't blame the wasp." "It's the honey that is poisoned." "They were just protecting it." "Is there an antidote?" "I need to look it up." "Where?" "My books." "Back in the camp." "And?" "I like you better the other way." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Put it down and lend us a hand." "Who's got the mallet?" "Sir, please follow me." "Up there." "Where is he?" "No." "No, no, no."

"He'll be more comfortable there." "Are you all right?" "That?" "A mood, not a rage." "They shouldn't let him bully you." "They?" "Each is watching their own skin." "Okay." "Let me see." "Yes, an antidote." "I've never seen this plant on this island." "Do you know it?" "No, I don't." "Tropical." "But it's promising." ""Grows in rocky exposed areas."

"His fever hadn't taken hold." "When it does..." "Find the plant quickly, and I'd say he has a Chance." "Thank you." "Oliver." "It's rude to sneak up on people." "Your friend is right to think you simple." "My friend does not think me simple." "Satan, then." "I would've stuck with simple." "We should hurry." "We?" "What color flowers has this plant?" "What hue of leaf?" "You'd poison him with a guess." "I would not have my work undone by ignorance." "What ever you say, Olivia." "Oliver." "This way." "Before you send the plague!" "Did you think I'd be afraid, Crusoe?" "Where are you, Crusoe?" "Come out!" "Come out!" "Crusoe." "Crusoe." "Have a drink." "You like to give orders, don't you?" "excuse me."

"What would Susannah think about you raiding your enemies' camp?" "Risking your life for your new friend." "Before Friday, I merely existed." "He showed me how to live." "If I do get off this island and back to Susannah, it's because of him." "That's why it hurt so much when he called me a traitor." "I'm sure you've heard worse." "I've heard the same for a Crime just as great." "Which was?" "Monmouth's rebel army was gathering against the king." "I was traveling, too, on trade." "A family to feed." "I didn't know the rebels had already been routed." "The king's soldiers were hunting them down." "All those involved were branded traitors and sentenced to death."

"Arrest the lace maker and Robinson Crusoe." "He's getting away." "After him." "She saved my life that day, and I could do nothing for her." "I knew they'd show her no mercy." "What did you think of her?" "Brave or foolish?" "Brave." "This is the place." "If the plant's not here, then..." "Well, let's hope it is and that we find it quickly." "You stay here." "I'm going to continue further on up to the rocks." "Please?" "Oh, good." "Olivia!" "Don't shout that, not ever." "No one will hear." "One word, one careless moment, and I'm your lace maker." "except death will be a welcome relief." "I'm sorry." "Truly." "Now, is that your plant?" "If I ever need an assistant..." "I've always had a keen eye." "That's our plant."

"You don't trust a woman?" "When I get to the plant, I'll give you a signal." "You can help me back up." "Does that still count as doing it alone?" "Just in case, what would you like on your gravestone?" "Robin or Robinson Crusoe?" "Okay." "Crusoe!" "I can't Climb up!" "Grab hold!" "What's it tied to?" "Just take it!" "I can't reach it!"

"It had better be a good one." "I'm to sail to the New World." "When?" "Today." "Father, you will see me again." "I'm sure I will." "Susannah will get me a pardon." "And when it's safe for me to return to London, she'll put a notice in the London Gazette." "You'll never see that." "One way or another" "I will." "So we like about the Crusoes." "We do Choose our women well." "Although, to be honest, Robin, I think they do the Choosing." "Perhaps you can find a space in your baggage for a keepsake of us." "Your Breeches Bible?" "With the family history written in." "Wherever you may find yourself, this is who you are." "You are my son." "Always will be." "Don't forget." "What will you do?" "Stay at home, pay my taxes."

"These are hollow, and these are sailmaker's needles." "If I can fashion this into a dart and fill this with the anesthetic," "I may be able to shoot it into Friday." "A blow pipe." "Right." "If we can stop Friday from attacking me long enough we may be able to give him the antidote." "That's a big "if. "" "I'm open to all sorts of ideas, here." "Here." "Thank you."

"I bet it's very lonely for you, living as Oliver." "Why did you leave Susannah?" "Leave her?" "No." "She was not on your ship." "I was returning to her." "Then you had to leave?" "No." "I had no Choice." "Where there's life, there is Choice." "Staying would have Cost me my life." "I might as well have joined the rebels, because in the end, I had to flee like one." "Robin, don't argue please." "If there was any other way out, we'd be taking it." "Your wife knows what she's talking about." "You're a lucky man, Robin." "She's more than I deserve."

"Thank you." "I put something in your Bible to remember us by." "I love you." "I love you." "Crusoe!" "Is that from the arrow?" "No, it's nothing." "No, let me see." "I'm the surgeon." "What?" "And you can bandage better with one arm than I can with two?" "Yes, like you can Climb a Cliff alone better than with my help." "It is noble to see someone risking so much for a friend." "Okay." "If Friday recovers, promise me you won't tell him how worried I was." "I'll never hear the last of it." "You don't think we're too late, do you?" "A dungeon horrible on all sides round." "As one great furnace flamed." "Obdurate pride." "Steadfast hate." "You're ill." "Listen to me, Friday." "Friday, we have a Cure." "Friday?" "You're my brother." "Remember the boats and the tree?" "Yes, you do." "Remember the dogs and the games?" "You trip me, I trip you." "The dogs." "The dogs." "That's right." "Remember the caves?" "Returning the bones?" "It's Crusoe and it's Friday." "Obdurate pride." "You have to trust me." "We have an antidote." "You have to drink it or you could die." "Friday, no!" "Father." "Please." "Are you all right?" "We've got to find him." "Half in here." "We'll split up, cover more area." "Half?" "He needs all of it." "Fine then, I'll take it." "You stay here." "What if you go the wrong way, or the right way, and he attacks you again?" "He's dying." "Does he give up if he sets his mind to something?" "Does he?" "I am not waiting here." "I can't do nothing." "If he's still alive he will come back, won't he?" "He's sworn to kill you." "It's our only hope." "Hope!" "I haven't done nothing but hope for the last six years." "Nothing but "maybe" and "if. "" "Nothing but..." "Nothing!" "God can't keep taking people away from me." "Robin." "No." "No, no, not this." "Robin." "Crusoe." "It's Crusoe." "Friday!" "So, you let him kill you?" "Stand away from me." "If he tries to kill me, at least I'll know where he's at." "And if he succeeds, he'll drop his weapon and you can give him the antidote." "You'd die to save him." "Yes, I would." "Your friend is right, you're so simple!" "Go on!" "Kill him!" "Put him out of his misery." "I need your help." "You said you didn't want to have your work undone by ignorance, remember?" "Friday deserves to live." "Maybe, I don't." "But he does." "Help me?" "Friday!" "You want Crusoe dead?" "I will kill your traitor." "You're not the only one he has badly used." "Father." "Give me the antidote." "Come on, Come on, Friday." "Drink." "Are we in time?" "We're lucky our Charade worked." "You were lucky." "For a moment I was thinking of putting a musket ball in, not just gun powder." "It didn't only come from me." "I love Susannah." "I made a vow before God and for my whole life." "You could be rotting half way down a Cliff right now." "Your wife may be in London..." "No, don't." "Don't." "I never let men near me." "Don't make me feel like the temptress, Crusoe." "Crusoe." "Did I win your bed in a game?" "I do not like it." "Well, you'll have to win back yours." "I'm not feeling too well." "Will you read for me?" "Just a minute." "You weren't the temptress, but..." "For my disguise." "Crusoe." "Thank you, Olivia." "Oliver." "I think I am hallucinating." "I saw a woman walking into the forest." "Sounds more like a fantasy to me." "How about some sonnets instead?" "Sonnets."
