"This way, senores." "Fine." "How's everybody holding up?" "I could use an air conditioner, Dr. Quest." "We're okay back here, Dad." "Except for Bandit." "He is too hot, I think." "We'll get him cooled off as soon as we can." "Much further to the lost city, Montoya?" "Maybe close, maybe far." "Do not sabe too good." "Well, at least he gives you an answer." "Okay, let's roll." "Somebody hand me a rope." "He was lucky he was holding that vine." "Need any help, Race?" "No." "I've got him." "What do you think?" "Was that an animal trap or was it meant for us?" "I wish I knew" "Call the guides back." "They are frightened." "Tell them there's no danger." "I don't blame them, poor fellows." "Probably their god of evil." "lt is a warning." "Warning?" "Si, it say, "Go back before too late."" "I guess that trap was meant for us." "What do you think?" "We've gone too far to go back now." "Let's go." "Everybody, down!" "Save the ammunition." "They've gone." "Everyone all right?" "We're okay." "But the guides have run off." "All but one." "We go on, we get killed." "We stay here, we get killed." "Montoya, your government invited me here to your lost city, hoping we could learn more about the ancient people who built it." "Know any reason anyone would want to stop us?" "Don't sabe, senor, but not safe." "We've been in worse spots than this." "Right." "Do not go, senores!" "is very bad for us." "Sorry, Montoya." "We'll take our chances." "Nobody's forcing you to come with us." "Let's go." "Hey, isn't that a beautiful bird, Hadji?" "I wonder how he can fly so well." "He must be top-heavy with that big beak." "Hey, little Bandido, simmer down!" "Hey, little Bandido!" "Bandido!" "Bandido!" "Bandido!" "Don't be afraid, Bandit." "He just wants to make friends." "Well, it looks as if we're not completely alone, Race." "Instead of four of us, there are five of us now." "Bandido!" "There it is." "Straight ahead." "The fabled lost city of Malatan, built by a lost civilization." "lt sure looks empty." "Yeah, like a ghost town." "Close up, it's really something." "Race, swing around real easy just as if you were casually taking in the sights." "That cave entrance on the fourth level of the terrace." "You see a reflection or something?" "Yeah, I see it." "Whatever it is, we better be on our guard." "So, Montoya, they came anyway, despite my warnings." "I did my best, Senor Perkins." "Look at this, Race." "What is it?" "Mayan pottery?" "I'll let you know after experts look at it." "It certainly is a beauty." "This one not wish to work for us." "He's given us trouble since we took him from his village." "Let him work for the vultures!" "Stake him out!" "Shut up!" "All right, now, what about our uninvited guests?" "Still poking about?" "You think they look for same thing we do?" "I don't know." "They'd better not be, for their sake." "I kill them." "Then we got no trouble with them." "No, no trouble with them." "Just with half the police force down in the capital!" "If them chaps don't show up, the coppers will be on our necks like a pack of locusts." "Scare them off, like we did the others." "Si, I will like that." "Come on, Band-- Jonny, look!" "Oh, no!" "A Gila monster!" "They're deadly!" "What can we do?" "l don't know." "Bandit!" "Bandit!" "Bandido!" "Thanks, Mr. Toucan." "Yes, indeed, thank you very much." "As for you, little Bandit, you be more careful or you could get hurt very, very bad." "Don't try making up to me." "You have been a bad Bandido and you know it!" "Hey, Hadji, look at the vultures." "They are waiting for something to die." "Gosh, you're right." "It's a native staked out!" "Come on, Hadji!" "So Dad and Race were right." "We're not the only ones here." "Come on, let's untie him." "Wait." "Call your father." "Yeah, you're right." "Dad!" "Race!" "Over here!" "What do you make of it?" "He's being punished for something." "Who did this to you?" "l don't think you're getting through to him." "We are friends." "We will help you." "Who did this?" "We won't hurt you." "It's no use. I wish I could speak his language." "Cut him loose, Race." "What sort of mind would think of this punishment?" "A sick mind, Race." "Very sick." "Who did this to you?" "There's your answer." "Whatever he said." "It may be best after all for us to move out, Race." "We have the boys and it's no use kidding ourselves." "There's danger all around here." "More coffee, Race?" "No, thanks. I think I'll check on the boys." "Good idea." "Bats!" "Quick, Race, get back by the fire!" "You all right?" "Yeah." "What ugly...." "Not only ugly, but dangerous too." "Those are vampire bats." "It's a good thing they're afraid of fire." "Thanks, doctor." "I think we're getting out of here just in time, Race." "Hey!" "Hey, what's the matter, boy?" "Fire!" "Hadji, fire!" "Everybody out!" "You boys all right?" "Thanks to Bandit, we are." "It burns fast." "There goes the tent." "And now they'd better go." "That's their last warning." "I don't get it, doctor." "Why not just kill us, be done with it?" "They must be worried about people coming to search for us if we don't show up." "They're worried?" "I'll let you in on a secret." "I'm getting worried myself." "I know what you mean." "We'll get the boys out of here first thing in the morning." "Well, that does it." "We're all set." "Yes, except for the boys." "They were right over there." "Take your eyes off for two seconds and they're gone." "Let's rest a second." "You know, I bet we climbed 1 00 feet-- Hey!" "Jonny, what is it?" "lt's a secret room!" "And gosh, look, jewels!" "I have seen emeralds and jade in the museum of the maharajah." "But this is 1 0 times as much and each one is much larger too." "Come on, let's go get Dad!" "It looks as if the boys found the reason for all our warnings." "It must be the ancient treasure of the city, worth a king's ransom." "We'd better get back and inform the government." "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "Take them!" "Now!" "Hold him!" "No, no, not that way!" "Idiot, from behind!" "Here, let me get a shot." "Let me" "Bombs away!" "You blasted Indian, get back in there!" "Well, you're quite a dynamo when you get started." "You didn't do so bad yourself, Race." "Let's get out of here." "Just hold it right there, maties." "Don't move a blinking muscle until I tell you to." "And now that you Indians have had your little rest, put these four in the guest room." "I'll decide what to do with them later." "l cannot find a way out, doctor." "Me either." "Gosh, those walls must be 1 0 feet thick." "And no windows either." "Think we should try rushing the door?" "l don't know." "Besides those guards, there might be more outside." "You're right." "Hold it!" "No tricks, now." "Who are you?" "I'm Dr. Quest." "So you're in on this, eh, Montoya?" "Dr. Quest, eh?" "I've heard of you." "American Secret Service." "I've done work for them, but I'm a scientist." "I'm here on an archeological mission sponsored by this government." "No, Bandit, no!" "Sure, sure." "A little mission like looking for a couple million dollars' worth of treasure." "Not that I'm sore, you know." "I'm grateful to you for finding it for me." "I've been looking for weeks." "Begun to think it was one of them ancient legends..." "...till you came along and stumbled on it." "Si, we are very grateful." "The big question now, what am I gonna do with you?" "But don't you fret none." "I'll think of something." "Look, Hadji!" "That wall's moving!" "lt's a door in the wall." "Hey, it's the native we found staked out." "He's telling us to keep quiet." "He's showing us a way out." "Let's go." "Quiet, and quickly." "Hey, an underground river." "And boats." "I wish I could communicate with him." "We thank you for the boat." "Thank you." "We're all set, doctor." "Hey, what about our friend?" "Sorry, Jonny, he won't go with us." "Thanks, friend." "Let's shove off, Race." "Right." "So long, friend!" "I'll get your pals in a minute, but first I'm gonna teach you a lesson!" "I'll fix you!" "Get the other boats!" "After him!" "I've got a score to settle with that bloke!" "You hear that shooting?" "Yes." "They must have found out we escaped." "Where do you think this leads?" "It must lead to a jungle stream, or those crocodiles wouldn't be able to survive." "Look, behind us." "It's our friend." "I see him." "And so do the crocs." "Faster, friend, faster!" "I'll keep the crocodiles away while you help him in, Race." "Sit down!" "Jonny!" "I'll get him." "Faster, faster!" "Move them paddles faster!" "We get them for sure now." "Take off!" "Hurry!" "I'll catch up later if I can." "Right." "But Dad, we can't leave Race." "He knows what he's doing." "We've got to keep going." "If the croc don't get him, I will." "When you see the blighter, give a yell." "Well, looks like he's finished." "l got news for you. I'm just starting." "Terrific, Race!" "Come on!" "Swim, Race, swim!" "Montoya!" "Hurry, get me out of here." "I'll settle with them!" "Hurry up!" "Rapido, rapido, or I'll get out the whip." "Nice going, Race." "I'm glad you're on our team." "Thanks, but the team is still behind." "See what I mean?" "Easy, boy, easy." "We don't like them either." "Hey, what's this you're sitting on?" "A rope?" "I can use this." "You're a big help, Bandit." "Put me ashore on the next bend." "What do you have in mind?" "I'll try to slow them down." "If this doesn't work, start paddling fast." "Faster!" "Faster!" "I've lost sight of them!" "This is a long shot, but now, if Perkins will cooperate...." "Get ready." "They may be just around the bend of the river." "Good guess, Perkins." "l hope my little surprise works." "Come on, pull, pull!" "Here, now--!" "lt worked!" "Come on, Race, let's go!" "Be right with you!" "Look out, Race, that spiderweb!" "What messy...." "Look." "A giant cave spider." "They're deadly poisonous." "What's he mean?" "He's pointing in the boat." "Look around." "There's nothing here." "Look, sir, a gun wrapped in rags." "Good man." "He thought of everything." "Hurry, Dad!" "Don't move, Race." "Thanks, doctor." "Thank our friend for bringing that gun." "Look, two tunnels up ahead." "Which one shall we take, sir?" "Stop paddling." "We'll let the current decide for us." "It should be strongest in the main channel." "Hey, isn't it getting lighter up ahead?" "Sure looks like it." "A subterranean lake." "It's an underground Yankee Stadium." "With pointed knives in the ceiling." "Those are stalactites." "lt took thousands of years to form them." "l'd sure hate to have one drop on me." "Steady the boat." "You're spoiling my aim!" "Well, our company's back." "And we only have a few shots left." "Race, the stalactites." "Maybe you could drop a few in on them." "Good idea, doctor." "Here goes." "Stalactite in the corner canoe." "What is he shooting up there for?" "There's your blooming answer!" "I'm getting the range now." "Blimey!" "He's bombing us!" "Steady, now." "Every man for himself." "Make for shore." "l cannot swim!" "Well, you'd better learn fast, laddie!" "Don't look back, boys." "There's nothing we can do." "Well, doctor, it looks like we're out of it." "Thank goodness for that." "What, Bandit?" "He says he's glad to be out of that cave." "He said, "Me too."" "All we can do is thank you again for saving our lives." "At least your people will not be bothered by criminals like Perkins again." "We all set to roll?" "Hey, wait, where's Bandit?" "He must be off exploring again." "l'll get him here." "All I have to do is start the motor." "He'll show up any minute." "That did it, Race." "Here he comes." "Come on, Bandit, you know we wouldn't leave you."
