"What's happened?" "Is it about the children?" "Yes, it's from Takume." "There's apparently been a cyclone over the island." "He says Grandma and the children disappeared on a raft." "Disappeared?" "Where are they now?" "The cyclone came roughly along this path." "So they're certainly somewhere on the Raroia, or maybe even further South on some of these smaller islands." "Or else they've missed all these islands and are on the way down to the Arctic Ocean." "I wonder where we are." "I for one, am more curious to see if the island is inhabited." "I hereby take possession, the discoverer, William Valdemar" " What about me, then?" " It was me who saw it first." "I will take possession of it, for time immemorial for the Swedish Crown, and the government's behalf." "I name this island after me, the discoverer, Botmans land." "Typical Villervalle!" "Yipee!" "Is it possible you're looking for us?" "Mom!" "Dad!" "Villervalle!" "Oh, how glad I am to see you!" "Swedish Radio presents" "Villervalle in the South Pacific" "Turtle Hunting" "Well, it's a geography lesson." "If you do as well as the other homework, you'll get the rest of the day off." "Eskimos live in Greenland, where they subsist entirely on hunting and fishing." "They live in small houses, called igloos, which they build out of blocks of snow." "They have small canoes, covered with sealskin, called kayaks." "They live on seal blubber and whale oil and therefore over time become quite obese." "No, it's geography now." "Gustav II Adolf was the one, who became that. (obese)" "I mean that they become fat, which protects them against the strong cold." "Thank you for this time." "Bye!" "I think I'd rather sit in Greenland... and interrogate someone about the South Seas on a day like this." "It's only 38 degrees today." "Look, what Villervalle has accomplished." "Yeah, I think he's been doing his homework a little too well the last week." "I'm starting to get suspicious." "Probably he wants some new thing again, and is trying to soften me up." "Well, if he continues to be this good then I really think he's worthy of a proper reward." "Sad, sad beyond measure." "But you seem to have already fallen into his trap." "It's not so strange that he can do his homework." "He's sitting still from morning to evening every day." "He sits still?" "It has only happened twice, as I can remember." "And both times he was sick." "It's best that you examine him, Ernst." "He sits still just because he's looking for turtles with Kaoko." "Turtles?" "Where are they?" "In the sea." "Turtle season has just begun." "This time of year, sea turtles usually come closer to shore to mate." "Where are you going?" "I'll have another look at the century's greatest natural wonders." "Villervalle sitting still." " I think I'll go with you." " Yes, I have to see." "It wasn't quite as I thought, Lenalisa was joking." "(Reading from a textbook)" "Hey, look there!" "Villervalle!" "Yes, what is it?" "Nothing, we certainly don't want to disturb you." "Turtle hunters catch turtles, or tifai as the natives call them, with this kind of hook, but also with their bare hands." "For several days, they've patiently waited for the turtles to appear." "Kaoko and me, also sit on watch and look eagerly for the tifai." "Tifai !" "Tifai!" "Tetohu stays behind the turtle, so it doesn't bite into his arm and pull him down into the depths." "The turtle hunt always ends with a huge party, where they also perform this turtle dance." "Today it's Kaoko who has the lead role, and it's him crawling around with the turtle shell on his back." "Wait!" "It might go by without anyone noticing." "Do you think so?" "If only you'd organized the packing in a more rational way, you'd have escaped having this last minute panic." "Yes, you've really made it easy for yourself by losing a lot of things." "What have you done with your last briefcase, for example?" "Briefcase?" "Here is where you put it." "Oh, yeah, there it is." "Is that Villervalle now, causing trouble again?" "No, oddly enough, it doesn't seem that Villervalle is involved." "But it seems to be Toukurangi who has a disagreement with some from the schooner." "I'm going to..." "Ernst!" "Ernst!" "What is it?" "What do they say?" "Ernst!" "People from Takotu are here with the schooner." "I've heard that people from Takotu and Raroia were... mortal enemies in ancient times." "And it still happens, that they get into fights with each other." "Just for old times sake." "Hey, do you remember that monk on that island, who used to organize football matches, when there was trouble?" "Yeah." "Villervalle!" "Where have you been, anyway?" "Run and get the football!" " Football?" " Football, yes." "The football is unfortunately a bit broken." "Maybe it's just as good with this?" "We're at the Raroia football stadium." "The match between Raroia and Takotu has just begun." "Raroia attacks." "Maoko passes to Tetohu who passes to Tiaho." "Maoko breaks hard and firm but the referee has the match in hand, and blows the conch for all rough tackles." "This is a match that Raroia spectators have long been waiting for." "Raroia attacks again." "Tetohu passes to Teoti." "Ouch, he works hard, fighting and struggling." "Taiko attacks, passing to the forward, to the right winger, to the center, tackle." "Goal!" "Goal!" "Takotu lead 1-0." "Raroia goes directly onto the attack." "Maoko is tackled, oh oh, what a foul!" "There must be a penalty." "Tetohu composes himself." "What a penalty!" "The globe got stuck on his foot." "What do we do now, then?" "Well, we'll just have to find some other sport." "I know!" "Well, we decided to arrange a tetrathlon between Takotu and Raroia." "The score after the first event, soccer, or as it's called in Tuamotu, tuparaa pupu, which really means inflated balloon, was 1-0 to Takotu." "The next event is the javelin, or as it's called in Tuamotu, pakiara fa." "Participants throw spears at a coconut target, which sits impaled on a high 10 meter pole." "Every man has three spears." "The score after two events:" "5 points to Raroia and 4 to Takotu." "Amoraa teiaha or log toss, is the third event." "Here, Raroia has a couple of really sturdy guys." "Tahii, Maopo and of course the team's anchor, Tetohu." "Raroia incidentally has a palm leaf around the head as identification mark." "Club uniforms aren't used in the South Pacific." "This looks threatening for Raroia, because the Takotu team also has some real heavyweights." "But we have of course as last man, Tetohu." "But what happened to Tetohu?" "We must ensure that Tetohu stays in shape for the sack race." "It's the last event." "Couldn't you give him an elixir injection, or whatever it's called?" "I'm glad that you have such a high opinion of my ability." "To cure a muscle strain in minutes, is impossible even for me." "It was in any case, four points for Raroia and three for Takotu." "It all depends on what will happen in the last event, the relay sack race, or as it's called in Tuamotu, hororaa pute." "You have to finish the race." "It doesn't matter." "I'm still last, and somehow, I sprained my foot." "Leave rationalizations until afterwards." "The Raroia team lacks only one point for it to be a draw." "Crawl if you're unable to jump!" " That's right." "Up!" "Such cheers!" "And yet it was only a draw." "I wonder how it would have been, if Raroia had won." "Villervalle!" "Come on!" "Can't we stay another year?" "Think how cold it is back home in Sweden." "Just one more year, Dad." "No nonsense now, Jump on board now." "No!" "Villervalle!" "Tetohu... yabadabadoo!" "Subtitles by Faxeholm and Squashy Hat"
