"You all set, doctor?" "AII set." "How long will you remain submerged?" "About 20 minutes should do it." "Either of you boys care to take a ride in this mini-sub?" "well, not right now, Dad." "We want to teach Bandit how to use an Aqua-Lung." "It's very important, Dr. Quest." "Don't you think so, Bandit?" "There, you see?" "Yes, I see." "Can you read me, Race?" "Loud and clear, doctor." "Bon voyage." "I'II contact you from 30 fathoms." "Drive carefully, Senor Quest." "Save your breath." "He can't hear you." "No, but it is better if I say it anyway." "You know, for good luck." "tell me, Senor Race, why is Dr. Quest so interested in fish?" "well, he's trying to Iearn something, Jose." "If Dr. Quest discovers how ocean creatures adjust to the pressures exerted on them we'II make progress in deep-sea diving techniques." "I see." "I understand, I think." "Bandit, old boy, stop backing away." "You act like this mask is gonna bite you." "Yes." "Now, stop all the nonsense." "That's better." "Now, Iet's put the mask on and then you're all set to go diving with Hadji and me." "He's nice little dog." "And very intelligent." "Hey, little dog." "You want to be friends with Jose?" "He does not Iike me." "Bandit takes time to get accustomed to new people, Jose." "Oh, sure." "Once he gets to know you, he'II be more friendly." "You'II see." "Okay, I'II wait." "Now I go fix lunch." "He's sure a nice man, isn't he, Race?" "Seems to be." "Good cook too." "well, who's for a swim?" "Me!" "Me too!" "Okay, Bandit, you're included, but first we'd better check you out." "Don't be nervous, Bandit." "Just take it easy." "Take it easy." "Easy, easy." "You all right, Bandit?" "Okay, start swimming." "I'II hold on to the rope, just in case." "Attaboy, Bandit." "You're doing fine." "I knew it wouId work." "Race, pull the rope!" "quickly!" "That was close." "Are you all right, Bandit?" "Okay, come aboard." "Race, am I coming through?" "clear as a bell, doctor." "What's up?" "I've got a beauty down here." "Too bad we don't have bathroom scales." "Bet he'd run about 3000 pounds." "That's a really big fish." "I'm going to step out of the sub and check his heartbeat." "Roger." "AII set to receive, doctor." "Are you getting a reading, Race?" "Loud and clear." "Man, he must be a big one." "Say, how about a picture for our album, doctor?" "Right." "Come on, boy, Iet's have a big smile." "And maybe you'II make the cover of some big-fish-story magazine." "Thank you." "We've got visitors." "Something wrong, sir?" "The granddaddy of sharks is following me." "I'II try to lose him." "Did you lose him, doctor?" "No, he lost me." "More visitors, Race." "What is it this time, doctor?" "Some very rare specimens." "A "Jonny Questisis" and an Indian turban fish." "And here comes the rarest specimen of all." "I know, a dogfish." "Right." "Keep it up, Bandit." "You're doing fine." "Hadji, look, a porpoise." "How about that?" "Bandit's made a new friend." "One who can help him in his surroundings." "And I see something that could help us too." "Look." "Giant sea turtles heading for shore." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "I'm way ahead of you, Hadji." "Come on." "I wonder if we could stand on those turtles." "You mean, Iike a surfboard?" "Yeah, you wanna try?" "You bet." "Look, Jonny, no hands." "Sure beats walking, doesn't it?" "A great improvement." "And here comes Bandit around the clubhouse turn." "AII ashore that's going ashore." "We made it." "Thank you, sir." "How did you know that was a "sir"?" "I am too much of a gentleman to surfboard on a lady turtle." "Okay, Iet's take a breather and then head back to the schooner." "Senor Race." "Yes, Jose." "Lunch, she is ready." "Okay, Jose." "Thanks." "I'II call Dr. Quest." "Schooner to sub." "Schooner to sub." "Quest here." "Lunch is ready, doctor." "Good." "I'm starved." "Be right with you." "The kids are on the beach." "Better call them." "Right." "Guess we ought to get back." "How about it, Bandit?" "You ready to do some more swimming?" "Come on, Iet's go." "Look, Jonny, it's your dad." "I think he wants us." "Jonny, Hadji, come on, time to get back." "Must be lunchtime." "Come on, Iet's go." "Go ahead." "I'd Iike to swim back." "Okay, son, but don't be long." "I'II have Jose keep your lunch warm." "I'II wait for you, Jonny." "Dr." "Quest." "Yes, Jose?" "I am very worried about young Jonny." "Where is he?" "He'II be along in a minute, Jose." "Hey, Dad, Race, look what I found." "Must be extra special." "What is it, son?" "A gold coin." "Take a look, Dad." "Can you tell what kind it is?" "unless I miss my guess, that's a 1 7th-century Spanish doubloon." "There's been talk of a Spanish treasure ship around here." "Do you suppose Jonny found it?" "That's it, Dad." "It must be the old Spanish ship." "Gosh, maybe there's a treasure chest of gold." "Can you find this ship again, Jonny?" "Sure." "I know just where it is." "Gosh, I bet you there's a million dollars waiting to be picked up." "Perhaps so, Jonny." "We'II see." "Jose to the chief." "Jose to the chief." "Come in, chief." "This is the chief." "What is it, Jose?" "One of the boys brought up a Spanish doubloon." "It is what we have been waiting for." "Good." "I will arrive shortly." "Act as if you know nothing." "Yes, chief." "I will act as if I know nothing, but only for a little while." "Looks like we have visitors, doctor." "hello!" "We need help, senor!" "We'II help if we can!" "Come alongside!" "Thank you, senor." "You are very kind." "What can we do for you?" "Senor, you have already done it." "Stand where you are." "Jose, quick, the gun!" "Si, senor, I have it." "One move, and you are dead." "Now then, Senor Quest, Iet's get down to business." "You tell me where the treasure is, and, poof, we are gone in a flash." "Dad doesn't know." "I found it." "That's right." "You tell me, huh, Jonny?" "Nothing doing." "And I thought you were a nice guy." "But, Jonny, I am a nice guy unless you do not tell me where you find the Spanish doubloons." "I won't, and you can't make me." "It's a pity." "Now Senor Quest will die." "No!" "You leave my father alone!" "AII right." "AII you have to do is show me where you find gold coins." "You do what I tell you, everything is fine." "You do not do what I tell you everything is bad." "That is right." "Do as he says, son." "You have no choice." "There remains three hours of daylight." "When you find the treasure, pull on the rope." "But be very careful." "If rope break, or you cut it, I will be very angry." "And who knows what will happen to your poor papa." "Now, go!" "Remember our bargain." "I find the gold, and you let us go." "Right?" "Of course, little one." "You have my word." ""His word"?" "Oh, brother." "Go ahead, Jonny, and be careful." "I will, Dad." "Enough talk." "Start swimming." "Now we wait and make ourselves comfortable." "No?" "If you get the treasure, will you be able to use it?" "Si, Senor Quest." "gold is gold no matter what its shape." "There are always people who are ready to buy it, and no questions asked." "Except by the police." "police?" "Do you think I am afraid of them?" "Don't make me laugh." "Chief, look." "talk about the devils, and they are here." "It is the police boat." "So I see." "Stay by the rope, Jose." "manuel!" "Francisco!" "Keep out of sight, but keep the guns ready." "As for you, Dr. Quest, act as if nothing is wrong." "We do not want anything to happen to little Jonny, si?" "Don't worry, I'II play your little game." "But, doctor, with the police here" "We can do nothing." "Go along with it, Race." "Afternoon." "How goes the research?" "Just fine, superintendent." "Coming along fine." "How about you and Mr. Bannon joining me for dinner tonight?" "Tonight?" "well I don't think we can make it tonight, but thanks anyway." "well, hello there, pup." "Sounds like he's trying to say something." "Too bad he can't, Mr. Owens." "He'd have a Iot to tell you." "well, I'm sure he has." "well, cheerio." "See you soon." "You think he suspect anything?" "No, Iike all policemen, he is a fool." "He suspects nothing." "Chief!" "Chief!" "The boy find something, maybe." "It is a fortune." "Oh, that is only a small part." "The boy say there is more below." "We wait for morning and get the rest." "Hey, manuel." "Lock everybody in the cabin." "AII right, move." "Take it easy, buster." "How long do we have?" "Our value ends as soon as the Iast of the treasure is recovered." "So if we do anything, it has to be now or never." "That's about the size of it." "The porthole is too small for me to get through." "But not me." "Or me." "I spoke first, Hadji." "But you are tired from all that diving, and I am not." "please, Dr. Quest, it is my turn to do something." "What do you think, Race?" "well, Hadji is a good swimmer." "The best." "I couId swim to shore easy and bring the police before daylight." "AII right, Hadji." "Let's give it a try." "There is a sailor on guard above us." "Five for me, one for you." "AII right, Jose?" "That is fair enough, chief." "Hey, where you think you go?" "Let me go." "Let me go." "Hey, Senor Quest, look." "I find a little fish outside." "I throw him back in, si?" "Oh, you're great, buster." "I'II bet you can lick any kid half your size." "I'm sorry." "He caught me before I couId jump." "Hey!" "Pretty tough dog, eh?" "Don't you hurt Bandit, you big bully!" "Easy, Jonny, easy." "I think I take dog for a little walk, yes?" "And you stay here." "Hey, come back here!" "Bring my dog back!" "Don't you hurt him, you big ape!" "You take nice, long walk, all right?" "On the bottom of the ocean." "Goodbye, dog." "Oh, no." "He dropped Bandit overboard." "Quick, Hadji, Bandit's diving gear!" "Here it is." "Maybe Bandit can succeed where I failed." "Bandit." "Here, boy." "Here, boy." "Attaboy, Bandit." "Now, go get Superintendent Owens." "Quick!" "Inspector Owens, look!" "By Jove, that's a dog, and a dolphin with it!" "Lower the launch and bring that hotrodder aboard." "Aye, aye, sir." "There he is." "Be careful, heImsman." "Okay, fella, easy does it." "Here he is, sir." "Odd-Iooking fish, isn't he?" "Yes." "I say, isn't that the Quest dog?" "By Jove, it is." "And he's still trying to tell me something." "AII right, old fellow, Iet's go back and see if anything's wrong." "Switch on the beam." "Aye, aye, sir." "There she is." "The police!" "They're playing rough, sir." "Turn off the beam!" "HeImsman, hit the siren!" "That's Superintendent Owens." "He did it!" "Bandit got through!" "And now, as you say, "Here comes the marines to the rescue."" "You fool!" "You had no reason to shoot." "They suspected nothing." "Jose." "Yes, chief." "We will make a run for it in our boat." "Is the treasure aboard?" "Someone's leaving in a hurry." "full throttle, heImsman." "They mustn't get away!" "Attaboy, inspector." "After them." "Try to stop them, manuel!" "Forward gun, you may open fire." "They are gaining on us." "Faster, Jose!" "The throttle is wide open." "She cannot go any faster." "Make this one count, gunner." "Aye, aye, sir!" "Look." "We must have hit the gas tank." "Stand by to pick up survivors." "Aye, aye, sir." "That's the story, superintendent." "Jose was planted on our vessel on a chance..." "...that we might find treasure." "Jonny did." "We were taken prisoners." "We owe our lives to you, superintendent, and we are all grateful." "Nonsense." "Your pup there is the real hero." "Take a bow, Bandit." "Ironic, isn't it, blowing up their boat and sending that treasure back to the bottom." "Your government will know where to find it." "well, we have you people to thank for that." "Now, you stay aboard, hero, because we're going swimming." "You cannot swim fast enough to keep up with us, Mr. Hero." "That's right, Bandit, you better stay here." "Jonny, no matter what you find, don't bring it back." "Don't worry, Dad." "I'II race you to the island, Hadji." "Okay, Iet's go." "Jonny, look." "Did we say Bandit cannot swim fast enough?" "How do you Iike that?" "I guess we owe Bandit an apology."
