"We sit here while that underwater sidewinder escapes?" "I say no!" "We can act." "We're not Syldavian citizens." "Just give us a high-powered motorboat." "It might work." "I'll do it!" "Cast off the lines!" "# O sole mio" "# You may cast off #" "Full speed ahead." " Hey!" " Hold on a minute!" " Hold on!" " Stop!" "Nothing in sight." "Still, I've got a feeling we're being followed." "Hey, look, it's the Thompsons." "They're water-ski freaks." "The Thompsons?" "Water-ski freaks?" "Oh, ten thousand thundering typhoons!" "Tintin, stop!" "Avast!" "Look." "Oh, they can't swim." "The numbskulls will drown." "(Tintin) Hey, climb aboard." "Never mind us." "Full speed ahead." "Duty first." "You go ahead." "We'll manage all right." "Yes, duty first." "You..." "We'll manage." "The sunny shores of Borduria." "Hee-hee!" "We are safe!" "Steer clear of the border posts and head for Dragon Rock." "Full speed ahead, Commander." "But we'll never get over the reef." "The rocks are too dangerous." "Commander, we're not going over the reef, but through it." " Oh." " Ready?" " Dive." " You're the boss." "Slowly." "Dive angle, 30 degrees." " But Chief..." " Slowly." " Reduce speed." " Yeah, but Chief..." "Reduce speed!" " Slower still." " All right." "Level off, Commander." "There is our passage." "Heh-hee!" "But sir, are you sure we can get by with that clearance?" "We go through like greased pork, silly." "The divers have verified the diameter of the passage against the submarine." " But with the periscope still up?" " What?" "The periscope!" "Quick!" "To the surface!" "Faster!" "Not a sign of it anywhere." "How could it have gotten through?" "(Haddock) Stop!" "Look over there." "It's an oil slick." " It has to be them." " He steals pictures, then pollutes lakes." "It's your fault, imbecile!" "You forgot to remind me I should down periscope, yes?" " But chief, you're always the one who..." " Shut up!" "You are out of a job, Commander." "As of now, you're fired." "Board the pirates!" "Hang them from the mizzenmast!" "I'm sorry it had to end this way." "So long, Chief." "The cruise is over, matey!" "Ow!" "Thunderation!" "Curses!" "Tintin and Haddock!" " Ah!" " Don't trouble yourselves over me." "I'm just passing through." " You'll never get away with this!" " (Cheering)" "(Man) And now the big moment, folks!" "The Bordurians are coming back strong." "Rinkydink has the ball." "He passes to Boca, who fakes." "He kicks high." "Rinkydink comes up again." "Vlasov moves in on him." "Vlasov bumps his head." "What a game!" "Sprinting down the field!" "He shoots!" "He scores!" "He scores!" "The crowd goes wild!" "(Whistle blowing)" "This time, the victory was clear-cut, and a great win it was." " Now the national anthem." " I say make sport, not war." " (Boat engine revving)" " Hey!" "By my great aunt Brudhilde, do my eyes deceive me?" "Hello?" "Is that you, Wenceslas?" "Listen, you know your crazy cousin, the one who buys up scrap metal?" "I think I've got a little deal for him." "Syldavia owes you a great deal, Tintin." "Thank you." "We're really very grateful, and what's more, we appreciate it." "(Snowy snarling)" "Grr!" "Grr!" "Bravo, young stranger!" "Bravo!" "We're going to celebrate." "The whole village is throwing a party for you and your friends." "(# Cheerful music)" "How about that?" "News spreads fast here, doesn't it?" "Holy mackerel!" "They're here from all over!" "Yoo-hoo!" "Ah, hello, young prowling foreigner." "I always was sure you were a good boy." "You can call on me any old time." "(Bang)" "Ah, the blushdiga!" "Come and dance the blushdiga!" "What's the blushdiga?" "The blushdiga?" "You'll have to show me how to dance it." " Sure." "Come on." "It's not difficult." " I'll show you how, Tintin." " There's a party going on." " Well, let's be a party to the party." "# Ah-ha-ha!" "Ah-ha-ha!" "# Ah-ha-ha!" "#" "No, no, no, carry on, my friends." "Tidal wave!" "Man overboard!" "Yoo-hoo!" "It's me." "I see you, Captain Shadrach." "Why are you hiding?" "Shy boy." "Shall we dance?" "Oh, my dear Captain Rock Bass, you dance divinely." "Oh, to think it's the first time I've ever danced with you." "Why, Captain, you've shrunk!" "Oh..." "(Laughing)"
