"BOGG..." "When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong." "Our job's to get everything back on track." "(OMNI DINGS)" "Green light, kid!" "We did it!" "MAN:" "Caesar's been killed!" "He was assassinated on the Senate floor." "Find me Caesar's woman so she can share his fate." "A gold coin to the man who finds her." "(PLUMMETING) Search for her!" "It's better than a haystack." "Yeah." "BOGG:" "Wow." "Bogg, the Omni." "(BEEPING) Roll." "You won't take me without a fight." "Bogg, look out!" "Get away!" "Get away from me." "I will not be led away calmly like some sheep to slaughter!" "Look, lady, we're not here to hurt you." "He's telling you the truth." "I can't trust anyone." "They've killed Julius." "Julius Caesar?" "Yes." "Bat's breath!" "We're too late." "Wait, what's the date?" "(BEEPING) 44 B.C." "Is it the Ides of March?" "Yes." "Oh, Julius loved holidays." "He got to ride in his chariot and make speeches to the senators." "Bogg, Julius Caesar died in 44 B.C. On the Ides of March." "He was murdered on the Senate floor." "You sure?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "(BEEPING)" "Then why's the Omni red?" "MAN:" "Get Cleopatra!" "Kill the Egyptian princess!" "Those barbarians want me dead." "Cleopatra?" "Yes?" "The Cleopatra?" "There couldn't be more than one, kid." "Not with a face that beautiful." "Well, then, that's it, Bogg!" "Cleopatra didn't die with Caesar." "She escaped from Rome and went to Egypt." "(CHATTERING)" "I loathe Egypt." "It's hot and it's dusty." "MAN:" "Kill the Egyptian princess!" "But I have always loved sailing on the Nile." "BOGG:" "Good." "Here, put this on."

"(BEEPING)" "All men promise their kiss will cause the Earth to tremble, but..." "I thought we'd drop in to say hi." "...your kiss, it really made the Earth move." "It's not my kiss."

"You're not supposed to be here." "I was born to the throne of Egypt." "Certainly a place so rich and exotic as this is exactly where I belong." "Good afternoon, honey."

"You ever hear of Lucky Lindy?" "Charles Lindberg?" "Yeah." "Well, he just landed in France." "1927." "(BEEPING)" "Where?" "I think I see something." "There, in the trees!" "You lost Cleopatra in New York City?" "Maybe I should've stayed there and looked for her instead of coming back for you, huh?" "No, Bogg, you did the right thing." "You there!" "Stop in the name of the Roman Empire." "Look for them." "They're gone." "Where could they go?" "Bogg, I lived here all my life, and believe me, it's a big city." "Don't worry." "We'll find her." "Where do we look first?" "You're the one from New York." "Yeah, New York, 1982, not 1927." "She's probably trying to find us by now." "Get serious." "She hasn't got a penny." "She'd be easy to spot, with that beautiful long black hair." "And she's running around town in that silly-Iooking outfit." "In fact, she's probably cold, hungry and alone." "Hey, you alone, toots?" "Toots?" "I hope you forgive me for being so forward, huh?" "But you are one good-Iooking doll." "You're forgiven, Mr..." "Luciano." "I know every beautiful girl in this city." "How come we never met before, huh?" "Well, actually, I just arrived." "Oh, you're new in town, huh, toots?" "So, where you from?" "Most recently, Rome." "Hey, I'm from Sicily." "(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)" "JEFFREY:" "Bogg, we've been searching for hours." "We're never gonna find her." "Well, we can't give up now." "(BELL RINGS)" "Hey, Bogg, Yankee Stadium's just up here." "Come on." "Yeah?" "What's a Yankee Stadium?" "It's like the Colosseum." "You think she might be there?" "You ever had a hot dog before, Bogg?" "I used to have them all the time with the works." "Relish, mustard..." "Bogg, this is all wrong!" "What else could be wrong?" "It's gotta be around here somewhere." "What are you talking about?" "The stadium, Yankee Stadium." "Maybe we're on the wrong street." "No, it should be right over there." "They probably moved it." "Bogg, you can't just move something that big." "I lost a woman." "You lost a whole building." "Oh, come on, Jeff, we're supposed to be looking for Cleopatra, not a stadium." ""Yankees still in cellar." "Lose six-to-one at Polo."" "That'll be a nickel, kid." "Mister, do the Yankees still play at the Polo Grounds?" "Only when they ain't playing at Carnegie Hall." "What about Yankee Stadium?" "The Yankees gotta start winning some games before anybody builds them their own stadium." "Why aren't they winning?" "What about Murderers' Row?" "What about Ruth?" "Ruth?" "Ruth who?" "Babe Ruth." "Nobody named Ruth ever played for the New York Yankees." "JEFFREY:" "His real name was George Herman Ruth, but everybody called him Babe." "Babe Ruth." "Oh, I think I saw him pitch once, in 1922, when the Red Sox were in town." "Babe Ruth was still pitching in 1922?" "Yeah." "And he's not with the Yankees?" "Kid, I already told you." "Never was." "He retired a couple of years ago." "I think he went into vaudeville, and then just sort of disappeared." "Thanks." "Come on." "The Omni." "Is it still red?" "(BEEPING)" "Well, yeah." "What do you expect with Cleopatra running around loose?" "No!" "It's not her." "It's Babe Ruth." "Now we've got to go to the Red Sox 1919 spring training." "Hey, look, kid, we got Cleopatra 2,000 years out of time." "I think that's a little bit more important." "Yankee Stadium is called "the house that Ruth built."" "Without him, it never would've existed." "We're not exactly talking about the pyramids or the Great Wall of China." "Bogg, baseball just wouldn't be baseball without Babe Ruth." "Jeffrey, no." "You know, Bogg, as a Yankee, Babe Ruth did some pretty wonderful things for people." "It's just not important enough." "Once there was this really sick kid." "So sick, in fact, that he couldn't even get out of bed to go to the ballpark." "Quit the hearts and flowers, will you?" "Babe Ruth visited this kid at the hospital." "He promised to hit a home run just for him." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "And if we don't get Babe Ruth back on the right track, the kid'll never meet Babe." "What's a hot dog?" "(PLUMMETING)" "Jeffrey?" "I'm okay, Bogg." "Nothing broken." "Except this darn Omni." "The Omni's broken?" "(BEEPING) The gear's stuck in the automatic mode." "Oh." "Days like this I wish voyagers had gone union." "We don't get overtime pay, paid vacations... 1669, England." "Flashing red." "I wonder what's wrong." "Oh, blast!" "Oh... (EXCLAIMING)" "Here you go." "Oh, I'm most grateful." "Newton." "Bogg, this is Jeffrey." "Beautiful day like this must be perfect inspiration for a writer." "Well, I'm not actually a writer." "I'm a professor here at Cambridge." "My father was a teacher there." "Oh, yes, and a very good one, I'm sure." "However, lately, I've been feeling more like a student myself." "I've been working on a problem for weeks." "A hypothesis on gravity." "(CHUCKLING) Oh, it's far too nice a day to worry about any of my dubious theories." "Thank you." "Good day." "Bogg, that was Newton." "Sir Isaac Newton." ""Sir" Newton?" "Well, he hasn't been knighted yet." "And he never will be out there." "We have to get him there, under that apple tree." "BOGG:" "Why?" "JEFFREY:" "Gravity." "Mr. Newton." "Are you all right?" "I beg your pardon?" "Sunburn." "Sunstroke." "But it's been cloudy all day." "That's worse." "Much worse." "How long have you been out here?" "Well, when I'm working, I lose complete track of time." "But, perhaps you're right." "Maybe I should pack up and go home." "BOGG:" "Well... (BOGG CHUCKLING)" "I don't know if that's really necessary." "No sense stopping your work." "Sit under this beautiful, shady tree." "Why, thank you." "(BEEPING) Yes, yes, this is much more comfortable." "Ouch!" "Blasted apple!" "Hit me straight on the head." "Dropped off the tree and fell on my head as if some force propelled it back towards the earth." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Our pleasure." "Now we can get back to New York." "After we go to the Red Sox's 1919 spring training." "No." "We're going back to New York City, 1927." "But, Bogg, you promised." "I know, I'm sorry, but I changed my mind." "Voyagers' prerogative." "Bogg, what about baseball?" "What about the kid in the hospital?" "You caught me at a weak moment, all right?" "All the sob stories in the world aren't gonna change the fact that we're still talking about baseball." "But..." "Jeffrey, it's only a game." "That's it!" "The apple was pulled by the Earth's gravity." "That's it." "Bogg, it's only an apple." "Come on, slap them." "Make them work." "Make them work." "Let's go." "Go down there and get some sweat popping on those guys, will you?" "Well, good morning, Mr. Ruth." "I'm so pleased that you could join us." "You're late!" "Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Barrow." "But I don't need a curfew, and you know that." "I mean, I'm out all night and here I am, sharp as a tack." "As manager of this team it's my job to enforce the rules." "So, you miss one more bed check and you're gonna find yourself on the bench." "No, you can't afford that and you know it." "I'm the best pitcher you got!" "Yeah, well, one more word, you're gonna be doing your pitching in batting practice." "Why don't you listen to me, Barrow?" "You got better pitchers, why don't you play them?" "BOGG:" "I'm better." "Are you talking to me?" "Yes, sir." "So you're better than the Babe, huh?" "That's right." "Yeah, well, that's one man's opinion, yours." "Why don't you let him try out?" "Then you can decide." "Yeah, you're a big, strong-Iooking fellow." "Where'd you play last?" "The bush leagues in Texas." "They play some pretty wild and wooly ball down there." "What have I got to lose?" "Okay, rookie, you got your shot." "Suit up." "I hope you know what you're doing, or we're both gonna look like a couple of fools." "Trust me, Bogg." "Just trust me." "I'll never pitch as good as Babe." "You gotta pitch better than Babe." "As long as Babe's a pitcher, he'll never hit 60 home runs." "JEFFREY:" "I'm teaching you how to throw sliders, screwballs and knucklers." "All these pitches haven't even been invented yet." "Nobody around here's ever seen anything like them before." "That's it." "You're tougher to please than Abner Doubleday." "You were there when Abner Doubleday invented baseball?" "Well, I knew him as Captain Doubleday at Fort Sumter." "We tossed the ball around a little bit between battles." "He thought my pitching was pretty good." "Give me a break." "Okay, kid, let's see what you got." "Hank!" "Give me a couple of hitters in there." "Good ones." "MAN 1:" "Macready?" "Got you." "MAN 2:" "Okay, kid, show us what you got." "(MAN CHATTERING)" "I don't know what it is, but he's sure moving it around." "He has a crazy style, doesn't he?" "Yeah, but there's no arguing with a guy that throws every pitch over for a strike." "Your friend, he's pretty good, kid." "Yeah." "Yes, Mr. Ruth." "BABE:" "He throws a lot of trick pitches." "And the way his leg comes up," "I figured for a second there he's gonna start tap dancing or something." "But he sure makes that ball dance before it goes across the plate, though, don't he?" "I've never seen a man throw a ball like that before." "Boy, he's a darn good pitcher." "Pitching's not everything." "It is to a pitcher, kid." "Well, Babe, what do you think?" "Any fool can see he's good." "Good?" "He's great!" "Now that I got a new ace, you're not gonna be able to be a bad boy no more." "Let's not get into that again." "You miss one bed check and I bench you." "You miss two curfews and I suspend you." "Will you stop yelling?" "I suspend you without pay!" "You're gonna start living by the same rules as the rest of the team." "You got it?" "I got it!" "Yeah, I got it." "Maybe the rest of the team would be better off without me altogether." "Suit yourself." "Hey, kid." "You're really something." "Hey, Barrow!" "Where have you been hiding this dynamo?" "MAN:" "Where'd you find him?" "Yeah, what's his name?" "What's your name, kid?" "Bogg." "Phineas Bogg." "Men, here's your big story of the day." "(CAMERA CLICKING)" "Gentlemen of the press, I want you to meet the new Red Sox pitching sensation," "Phineas Bogg." "(MEN CHEERING)" "Gee, I never seen anything like that." "Boy, are you terrific!" "You're the greatest I've ever seen!" "You know, without your coaching, there's no way I could've thrown those pitches." "Abner never would've believed a ball could move like that." "You ought to be real proud of yourself." "Yeah." "JEFFREY:" "I didn't know he was gonna take it so hard." "He wasn't supposed to quit the game." "Guess that's why the Omni is red, huh?" "So we got to do a little bit more." "Like what?" "You know how to hit those pitches you taught me?" "Sure." "I was cleanup man on my Little League team." "How about teaching the Babe?" "Mr. Ruth." "Yeah, kid." "Aren't you gonna eat your lunch?" "No." "Kind of lost my appetite." "And that ain't no everyday occurrence, either." "Did Mr. Barrow kick you off the team?" "Not yet." "But it's only a matter of time, I figure." "He only put up with my shenanigans because he didn't have somebody better, and now with your friend, he's definitely got somebody better." "I figure the gentlemanly thing to do is probably quit before Barrow has to fire me." "What do you think?" "Isn't baseball more important than staying up late?" "Baseball's probably more important to me than anything, except maybe the respect of my teammates." "Did you see them when Barrow ripped into me, how they were laughing?" "You see, those guys used to look up to me before." "I just don't know if I can play on a team when everybody's feeling sorry for me." "Maybe I'm finished." "Finished?" "Babe Ruth's the greatest player baseball ever knew." "Come on, kid." "You're a hero to millions of kids." "Yeah, I'm not the hero now." "Your friend is." "And I taught him everything he knows." "And you did good, too." "I mean, he went through that whole lineup and nobody even got a bat on a ball." "What if you could hit those pitches?" "(SCOFFING) Come on." "In fact, what if you could hit those pitches out of the park?" "If I could hit like that..." "If I could hit like that, I'd give up pitching tomorrow." "Take a breather, kid!" "You're going great." "How's it going with the Babe?" "You'll see." "Think he can hit off me?" "I taught him everything he knows." "Well, don't worry." "I'll take it easy on him." "Well, Babe, I thought you'd quit the team." "No, Barrow, you can call me a lot of things, but a quitter ain't one of them." "Hotshot." "How about trying to get some of those trick pitches by me, huh?" "All right." "Come on, Babe, rip it." "MAN 1:" "Hit the sky, Babe!" "(MEN CHATTERING)" "Holy cow, look at that ball sail!" "MAN 2:" "Attaboy, Babe." "Show this rookie." "Nobody's ever gotten near that pitch before." "MAN 3:" "Hit it, Babe." "(ALL EXCLAIMING)" "I knew he could do it." "I can't get over it." "The more he swings, the further he hits them." "I could use him in the lineup everyday." "Too bad he's a pitcher." "Yeah, you can't use a pitcher everyday." "If he wasn't a pitcher, he could play in the outfield." "Yeah, then he could play every day." "Okay, Bogg, I've seen enough!" "We knew you could hit, Babe, but you killed those balls." "Babe, how'd you figure out that new kid's pitches?" "(CLAMORING)" "That was great, Bogg, the way you took it easy on him." "Yeah, well, you know, the idea was to make him look good, so..." "Yeah, well, thanks to you, he's gonna be the greatest hitter in baseball." "Now, can we get back to New York to find Cleopatra?" "We gotta stick around." "Hang on, kid." "We're on our way to New York." "(CLAMORING)" "Terrific idea." "How'd you like to play everyday?" "(ALL CHEERING)" "JEFFREY:" "There it is." "Isn't it something?" "Yeah." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Come on, Jeff." "You can tell me." "(SOBBING) Last time I was here was with my dad." "He used to take me to ball games all the time." "We'd sit right behind the Yankee dugout." "One time he caught a foul ball and got the whole team to autograph it for me." "(WEEPING)" "Your dad sounds like a pretty good guy." "The greatest." "(SNIFFLING)" "I don't want anybody to see me cry." "They'll think I'm a sissy." "Why would they think that?" "'Cause men aren't supposed to cry." "Says who?" "What about Napoleon at Waterloo?" "George Washington at Valley Forge." "General Eisenhower at Bunker Hill." "(LAUGHING)" "You okay now?" "Yeah." "Come on." "Come on, let's go." "Hey, you know who Babe Ruth is?" "Are you kidding?" "Come on, kid." "Who hasn't heard of the Babe?" "Greatest hitter the game has ever known." "Keep it." "You guys look like a couple of real fans." "For the wrong team, but that's okay." "Yeah, thanks." "Thanks a lot." "Now we search this city till we find Cleopatra." "Yeah, and where do we look first?" "I don't know." ""Coolidge chooses not to run for reelection." ""Florenz Ziegfeld's new show opens to rave reviews."" "We found her." "Where?" "Yeah, that looks like her all right, but I'm not sure." "Her hair's a lot shorter." "No, it's her all right." "Look at the bracelet." "Yeah, the snake bracelet." "Who's the guy?" ""Patrons of Lucky Luciano's club" ""couldn't keep their eyes off the mystery vamp on Luciano's arm." ""Now we know why they call him Lucky."" "Jeff, it's Cleo!" "Lucky, can I trust the rest of your accomplices?" "It's almost closing time." "The only people left inside are a few loyal patrons and a couple of my trusted colleagues." "Come on." "The less witnesses, the better, I suppose." "Yeah, look, we're late already." "Come on." "No, wait." "If I'm to be involved in a kidnapping... (SHUSHES)" "A kidnapping," "I think I should know every detail of the plot." "Come on, toots, don't worry your pretty little head with details, huh?" "He's already inside." "All you got to do is keep him busy tonight, all night." "Come on." "You make it sound very easy." "Hey, for you, it will be, toots." "Just peel him a few grapes like you did for me, huh?" "But remember, Lucky, we have an agreement." "I do this job for you..." "Yeah, yeah, and I take you to the White House to meet Emperor Calvin Coolidge, okay?" "Come on." "I have your word of honor?" "Look, I'm telling you, there's no problem." "Me and Coolidge, we're just like this." "Hey, come on." "Good evening, Mr. Luciano." "There's some heavy action in the back room, Mr. Luciano." "(GLASSES CLINKING)" "Kidnapping?" "Is she crazy?" "Come on." "Wait!" "Remember, that's Lucky Luciano!" "Bad guy, right?" "Very bad." "Then we'll have to be careful how we get her out of there." "How are we gonna get inside?" "We're just a couple of guys looking for a good time." "Then I think it's time we break training." "Break what?" "You're a little underdressed for a night out on the town." "(KNOCKING)" "Lucky sent me." "We're closing." "Lucky said whenever I was in town." "Well, I guess you got time for a short one." "Hey, no kids allowed." "Kid goes where I go." "But he's too young." "It ain't legal." "It's Prohibition, pal." "Everybody's too young." "I ain't gonna call the cops." "Are you?" "And don't ever lay a hand on my kid again." "Boy, a guy can say anything as long as he can say it tough." "Just don't try any smart moves, huh?" "These guys can get pretty rough." "You could get into trouble." "Hey, I can take care of myself." "Face it, kid, you ain't old enough to be tough." "I want you to stay here." "Oh, Bogg." "And no arguments." "Stay." "I expected you to find me sooner or later, but right now is a little inopportune." "Sorry to inconvenience you, but I've got to get you out of here." "I'm not going anywhere." "Oh, yes, you are." "I can't go back now." "I've got a job to do." "We know all about you and your boyfriend's kidnapping plan." "Kidnapping is such an ugly word." "This sort of thing happens all the time." "In ancient Rome, maybe." "Lucky made a very large wager on a sporting event." "It's something about some old man called Homer getting hit." "Lucky wants me to stop that from happening." "Now, is that so bad?" "Yeah." "Hey, toots, is this guy bothering you?" "Yes, Lucky, he is." "Stop annoying the lady, huh?" "She's no lady." "(CHUCKLING) I mean, she's just a friend." "We sort of lost track of each other over the years." "Hey, that's real nice, pal." "The reunion is over, huh?" "So, get out!" "(MUSIC STOPS)" "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "Wait, Bogg!" "Look." "It's Babe!" "BOGG:" "Why would Lucky Luciano want to kidnap Babe Ruth?" "JEFFREY:" "So he wouldn't hit the homer!" "Some hero he turned out to be, beating up on some old guy named Homer." "Home run!" "Tomorrow must be the day when Babe Ruth is supposed to hit his 60th home run." "And Luciano wants to make sure that he won't, so he hires Cleopatra to keep him busy." "Well, he sure got the right girl for the job." "Come on." "Hey, Bogg, we can't leave." "We're not leaving." "You are." "But, Bogg..." "These guys play pretty rough." "I don't want you hurt." "Bogg..." "No arguments!" "But Bogg, I have an idea." "You remind me of Julius." "The same strong profile." "Yeah?" "This Julius, he's your boyfriend?" "Before he was killed." "Sorry." "It was a long time ago." "A very long time ago." "You sure this plan of yours is gonna work?" "Sure." "I saw James Cagney do it in a gangster movie on TV." "Can't miss." "You were right." "Kid never could hold his milk and cookies." "A very long time ago." "I thought I'd find you here." "Hey, what's the matter?" "The Yankee front office send you out here to check on me?" "You little two-timing princess." "Don't I recognize you?" "Hey, pal, I'm talking to the lady, okay?" "Have a seat." "Bogg, will you get out of here?" "You're gonna ruin everything." "Bogg?" "Julius Bogg." "Her husband." "Cleo, hey, you told me this guy was dead." "Her late husband." "You're not gonna listen to him." "He's mad!" "You're darn right I'm mad." "(GROANING)" "How dare you!" "You all right, Cleo?" "No!" "Hey, pal, that ain't no way to treat a lady, even if she is your wife." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah." "Well, how about settling this outside, clown?" "That's a good idea." "Maybe I could teach you a little common courtesy." "Babe, you can't leave." "I mean, Babe, please, don't leave!" "Babe!" "Please don't leave." "This Philistine isn't worth fighting." "BABE:" "I'm fighting for your honor, Cleo." "Bogg, come on." "Babe!" "Come on." "You and me, buster, we got a little score to settle here, huh?" "Babe, please, come back inside." "No, not till I teach this guy a little respect." "Come on." "Put up your dukes." "Now, stop this." "You're behaving like barbarians." "I don't wanna fight you." "You should've thought about that before you popped the lady with a grapefruit." "Will you just get in the car, I'll explain everything." "Explain it now!" "Cleo and her pal Luciano wanted to kidnap you." "Now why would we do that?" "Yeah, why would they do that?" "It seems Mr. Luciano had a bet you wouldn't hit your 60th home run tomorrow, that's why." "Cleo, what's this guy talking about?" "Babe, I am going back inside, and you are coming with me." "(BOGG LAUGHS)" "Bogg, come on!" "Sorry, Cleo, he's coming with us, and so are you." "Hey, Mr. Ruth, you wasn't gonna leave without saying good night, was you?" "Good night." "(EXCLAIMS) Come on." "Move over, kid." "Hey, this is my turf." "I know all the shortcuts." "Yeah, great." "You can navigate." "CLEOPATRA:" "He's ruined everything." "I command you to stop this car!" "No way." "You're too good at getting into trouble." "I wasn't in any trouble until you showed up." "And stopped you and Luciano from kidnapping him." "What's a hood like Luciano gonna do for a girl like you, anyway?" "Get me an audience with the Emperor." "What emperor?" "Emperor Coolidge." "This dame's a nickel short." "I don't think Lucky Luciano even knows President Coolidge." "I don't believe you." "Did Lucky tell you that President Coolidge isn't very handsome?" "For me it is power, not beauty, that holds the most allure." "And he's a lot older than you." "A young man is seldom wise enough to rule an empire." "And he's not gonna be reelected." "Can't this car go any faster?" "Take a shortcut, Bogg." "Turn here." "(TIRES SCREECH)" "BOGG:" "Faster." "Watch out!" "(CRASHING)" "(ENGINE STALLING) Hey, come on!" "That was some shortcut, kid." "But there was a street there when I lived in New York." "I think we lost one." "If I can find a safe place for Babe to spend the night..." "And then we'll take Cleo home after the game." "Hey, we can stay at Lou's." "Lou Gehrig's?" "Yeah, where else?" "Wow." "Here we go, fans." "It's the bottom of the ninth and here comes the Babe." "Hey, Jeff, I hope Luciano's ready to get a new nickname." "Today ain't gonna be his lucky day." "I'm gonna hit the 60th and he's gonna lose a bundle." "MAN ON SPEAKER..." "Now batting, the New York Yankees." "(MAN CHATTERING)" "(CROWD CHEERING) This one's for you, kid." "Babe's had a perfect day so far, two singles and a walk." "But believe me, fans, no one has left this ball park." "This is the Babe's last chance to break his own record of 59 home runs." "Set back in 1921." "For six long years, the Babe has been knocking on that door, and this is his last chance in 1927." "I mean, this Yankee team with its famed Murderers' Row clinched that pennant a long time ago." "And my only question to that man is," ""Can the Sultan of Swat hit 60 home runs?"" "Here's the wind-up." "And the pitch, swung on and missed." "Strike one!" "Now the pressure down there has got to be tremendous, not only on the Babe, fans, but that pitcher down there doesn't wanna be known as the man who served up home run number 60 to Babe Ruth." "Ball!" "Oh, that was blowing away, ball one." "Count evens out at one and one." "Here's the wind-up." "The pitch, swung on and missed, strike two!" "I tell you, the Babe wasn't just swinging for a single there, fans." "He was swinging for those seats." "The count now is one and two." "One ball and two strikes." "Babe is down to his last strike." "And here comes the pitch." "(CROWD CHEERING)" "You better kiss that goodbye." "All right!" "Babe Ruth, the greatest home run hitter of all time, has just hit number 60!" "BABE:" "Hey, kid!" "You fellows don't have to leave, do you?" "We got to." "Look, I owe you a lot." "Thanks." "Our pleasure." "But promise me, you're gonna see me next season, right?" "Promise?" "We'll sure try." "You got a minute?" "Oh, yeah, sure." "Several years ago I met a boy just like you." "I was about to quit the game, but he told me I was his hero." "Even showed me a little bit about hitting." "Turns out kids with curly black hair must be my good luck charms." "Bogg, did you see him?" "Down two strikes, and the Babe still came through." "Well, with two strikes I would have thrown them a slider." "You double-crossing little bimbo." "Bogg, I think I want to go back to my own time after all." "Can you kiss me now?" "But it's not the kiss..." "Shut your trap and hold on." "(PLUMMETING)" "(ALL GRUNT)" "Uh-oh, it's the Romans." "CLEOPATRA:" "It's Mark Antony." "Don't worry, he's harmless." "He's always had a crush on me." "He doesn't look so bad from here." "Oh, he's as strong and as handsome as any man I've ever met, but he has no craving for power." "Rest your horses." "It's been my experience that behind every great man, is a great woman." "Power is an acquired taste." "Maybe I could teach him to savor it the way I do." "But there's one thing I could never teach him." "What's that?" "To kiss me as you did." "Such an embrace can never be taught." "Yeah, I guess." "CLEOPATRA:" "Here I come, puppy dog!" "Cleopatra, is that you?" "Yes, Mark Antony." "Is that the disguise you used to escape from Rome?" "Yes." "Do you like it?" "Your beauty overwhelms whatever costume you wear." "May I declare my devotion to you?" "Of course." "Might I also declare my long, secret love for you?" "If you must." "But, please, Mark Antony, whatever you do, don't ever call me "toots."" "JEFFREY..." "If you want to learn more about Babe Ruth," "Cleopatra or Sir Isaac Newton, take a voyage down to your public library." "It's all in books!" "We're transporting the most important prisoner in history." "JEFFREY:" "That was Abraham Lincoln." "I heard the Rebs had kidnapped him." "No wonder the South is winning." "We're going to shoot this scum right here and now!" "Put him up against that wall." "London, 1832." "Get to it, Fagin." "Move." "Oh, sorry, governor." "Can't see a thing in this bleeding fog." "And pickpockets!" "Bogg, the Omni!" "This could be worth a lot." "Considering a man's going to die for it." "BOGG..." "We travel through time to help history along, give it a push where it's needed." "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong." "Our job's to get everything back on track." "Green light, kid!" "We did it!" "(MEN WHOOPING)" "In the name of the Confederate States of America," "I order you to stop this wagon!" "Never!" "Jump, honey!" "(WIND WHISTLING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(MEN WHOOPING)" "(CHUCKLING)" "Sorry about the horse there." "I..." "You dirty blue belly!" "Hey, now hold on." "I didn't wanna land on you any more than you wanted to land on me." "Okay." "Bogg, look out!" "No!" "Leave him alone." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Put me down!" "Don't hurt him!" "He's just a kid!" "Put me down!" "Put me down!" "We've been tracking them folks all day." "We finally get them out in the open so I could have a little fun with them, and what happens?" "Thanks to you two, they get away!" "I guess I'm just gonna have to have my fun with you." "BOGG:" "I don't understand it." "We helped the couple get away." "It ought to be green." "(OMNI BEEPING)" "Something else must be wrong." "Where are we?" "Pennsylvania. 1863." "Pennsylvania?" "With all these Confederate soldiers?" "Let me see." "Oh, no." "What's wrong?" "This is Gettysburg, Pennsylvania." "November 19th, 1863." "So?" "So I'm not sure, Bogg." "But I think today is the day Abraham Lincoln's supposed to be here, making the Gettysburg Address." "(MAN EXCLAIMS)" "Looks like you boys are gonna be having yourself a little company." "This is crazy." "The North won the Civil War." "BOGG:" "Not from the look of these guys, they didn't." "Where's your uniforms?" "We..." "We thought we might be safer without them." "I know some others tried that." "Didn't work for them, either." "The Rebs figure any man who ain't in gray has gotta be on the run." "It's the same thing clear to Canada." "Clear to Canada?" "Didn't you hear about Stonewall Jackson's march through Ohio?" "Nothing but scorched earth behind him." "He cut the Union right in half." "I heard the Rebs have even got gunboats on the Great Lakes now." "What about the Battle of Gettysburg?" "I thought that stopped them cold." "Battle of Gettysburg?" "There wasn't any battle at Gettysburg." "That bad?" "That's bad." "Come on, get a move on." "Get some food on the table." "Where'd you find these two?" "In a tree." "They jumped us." "What were you doing up a tree?" "Somebody chase you?" "(GUFFAWING)" "What do you think you're doing?" "Chasing some Yankees." "Having a little fun." "No harm in that, is there?" "We're in charge of transporting the most important prisoner in history, and you're out having fun?" "Now, what if something had happened?" "Nothing's gonna happen." "The war is all but over, anyway." "Then you just give a gun to one of those Yankees." "Let's see if they think it's over." "You fool!" "You know who she is?" "No." "What are you looking at?" "Go on, get in there." "Go on." "What happens if the South does win the Civil War?" "Are you kidding me?" "You're the history book in pants." "What would happen?" "Well, there wouldn't be a United States anymore." "And 100 years of history would be totally different." "I guess we better find out what went wrong, huh?" "Yeah." "But how?" "We'll ask somebody." "Come on." "Come on, you guys." "Move through that line." "Come on, come on, keep on moving." "I sure hope there's something left for us." "Sure am hungry." "Better get used to it." "I hear they're taking us to Andersonville." "I still can't believe we're losing." "Losing?" "It's as good as over." "I heard they're even evacuating New York City." "New York!" "Get..." "Wait your turn like everybody else!" "Boy, you better back off while you still can." "Bogg, forget it." "The stuff I used to feed my dog smells better than this." "Bogg, look." "JEFFREY:" "That's Abraham Lincoln!" "BOGG:" "Are you sure?" "JEFFREY:" "Sure, I'm sure!" "Everybody knows Abe Lincoln." "No wonder the South is winning." "And no wonder the Omni is red." "BOGG:" "Was that really President Lincoln?" "I heard the Rebs had kidnapped him, but I didn't want to believe it." "How'd it happen?" "We heard they stopped his carriage on the way home from some party." "STEVE:" "Right in broad daylight, too." "Do you know when it happened?" "Sometime back in the spring of '62." "Look, I don't feel much like talking anymore." "Oh, sure." "Yeah, I understand." "Want this?" "I'm not very hungry." "Thanks." "What would Lincoln be doing here?" "They wouldn't keep him in a place like this." "When we came in the gate, that woman was saying something about being in charge of the most important prisoner in history." "They must be moving him from one prison to another." "How are we gonna find out what happened?" "There's someone we could ask." "Lincoln?" "Look at all the guards around his tent." "We'll never get close enough." "Not dressed like this, we won't." "On the other hand..." "All right!" "Where do you think you're going, boy?" "I'm going to pick up his dishes." "Sentry!" "Wait." "Sentry?" "You go ahead, but you be quick about it." "Yes, sir!" "(CHUCKLING) At ease, just wanted a light from your fire." "Yes, sir." "I'm sorry, sir, I was..." "Orders are orders." "Yes, sir." "Mr. President?" "My dishes are on the table." "Mr. President, please don't give up." "We're gonna get you out of this mess." "No, no, no, no, please." "I admire your courage, son, but no." "I don't want anyone else to die." "How did it happen?" "How did they kidnap you?" "Well, what does it matter now?" "Well, it matters to me, sir." "Please, sir, I know I'm just a kid, but I'd really like to know." "Well, I was betrayed by one of my closest aides, a Lieutenant Bates." "Turned out to be a Confederate sympathizer." "He gave a rebel spy the route my carriage was taking back to the White House from this party Mrs. Lincoln and I were attending." "The lady had a squad of disguised rebel soldiers waiting for us." "The spy was a lady?" "Jane Phillips." "She and one of her men are out there now." "So that's who that woman was." "One more thing, sir." "When did it happen?" "I need to know the exact date." "You're from Atlanta?" "Yes, sir." "Well, there's a whole branch of the Bogg family in Georgia." "Bogg?" "Yes, sir, I have heard the name." "You probably know some of my cousins." "Beauregard Bogg?" "No?" "How about old Jefferson T. Bogg?" "No, sir." "I don't reckon as I've met up with any Boggs lately." "Oh, it's a shame." "Sure you have, sentry." "You've met up with Yankee Bogg." "In fact, you're talking to the dirty, uniform-stealing blue belly right now!" "You still think the war's as good as over?" "Take that jacket off of him." "I don't want your Yankee sweat to ruin a fine uniform." "We're going to shoot this scum right here and now!" "Put him up against that wall." "REB OFFICER:" "Sentries!" "I need a firing squad over here!" "Get over here." "Don't worry, Mr. Lincoln." "Bogg, get the Omni." "April 18th, 1862!" "Hit it!" "(BELLS TOLLING)" "(LAUGHING)" "What are we waiting for, Fagin?" "Patience, my little Dodger." "Our pigeon will be landing soon enough." "He'd better be." "Don't worry, Sikes." "You'll be having something to make your purse jingle before too long." "Come on, you two." "(WIND WHISTLING)" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I'm just catching my breath." "That was a close one." "Where are we?" "This isn't Washington, D.C." "Yeah, I know." "I only got as far as the April 18th part." "Oh." "Like I said, Sikes, a gift from God's own hand." "(DINGS) London, 1832." "And it's green." "Sure nice to be somewhere where there's nothing wrong." "Except the weather." "Come on, let's get warmed up and get back to Lincoln." "Well, move." "Did Lincoln tell you what happened?" "It was a woman." "Isn't that always the way?" "Oh, sorry, governor." "Can't see a thing in this bleeding fog." "Come on, you two!" "Or I'll take my hand to the both of you." "They sure were a ragged bunch." "Yeah." "Sure was a bad time to be poor." "The streets were filled with beggars and thieves." "And pickpockets!" "Bogg, the Omni!" "JEFFREY:" "This is so awesome!" "It's like a swap meet back home." "We've been walking around this city all day." "What are we doing here?" "We're miles from where they stole the Omni." "Wouldn't this be the perfect place to sell it?" "Who is gonna buy it?" "We're the only ones who know what it's for." "I don't know." "My mom used to have a necklace with a big metal thing on it." "Maybe some lady could wear it as jewelry." "I see what you mean." "I think I'll take that." "The Omni would look kind of nice on her." "Not now, Bogg." "Oh, it's so beautiful." "Bogg, the pickpockets from last night." "That's one of them!" "Look!" "Are you sure?" "Sure, I'm sure." "And look." "They must be the other two." "The keys are in her purse, all right." "That's a good Dodger." "Now, move!" "(GIGGLING)" "I'll get you!" "BOY:" "Oh, no, you won't!" "DODGER:" "Oh, yes, I will!" "Come on, yeah." "(GIGGLING)" "Fagin, catch!" "I got it, Bogg." "Fagin, you rat!" "Get back here and help us." "Let go!" "You wouldn't hit a couple of kids, would you?" "BOGG:" "Oh yes, I would!" "Are you okay, ma'am?" "Thanks to you." "Here's your purse." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you." "Is there anything I can do to repay you?" "Just knowing that they didn't hurt you is reward enough for us." "Right, Father?" "(SIGHS)" "Right, son." "Well, I hope to see you and your son again sometime." "Thank you." "Hey, what about us?" "What about you?" "We're giving you over to the police." "Unless..." "Unless what?" "Unless you take us to Fagin." "Sorry, mate, I don't have any openings right now." "I've got all the help I need right here." "Look, either you take us in, or we're gonna turn you over to the coppers." "You let your boy speak for you?" "My boy is very smart." "So is mine, smart and fast." "Fast enough to pick the Lord Mayor's pocket before he can finish sneezing." "But not so fast he can't be caught." "True." "Sadly, true." "If you join us, how do you expect to share?" "Equally." "In the risk and in the prize." "How should I trust you?" "I don't know anything about you two." "You've seen us in action." "What else do you need to know?" "What do you think, my babies?" "Should we give them a go?" "I say we put them to a test." "Especially that one!" "He looks too sweet to be one of us." "Hey, man, you wanna step outside," "I'll show you how sweet I am." "That's fine with me, little man." "Hold on, hold on." "We can't be fighting each other." "He started it." "And I'm gonna end it." "No, I am going to end it." "We're planning a little adventure tonight, Nancy, the Dodger and me." "I tell you what." "The boy can go in the Dodger's place." "If he does well, we'll gladly take you in." "He's not taking my place!" "FAGIN:" "He is this time!" "Now, you stay there, and you be glad you got an ear for me to grab." "What do you say, lads?" "Are you game?" "Wouldn't be here if we weren't." "(CHORTLING)" "Come on." "Get that stew going!" "We'll have a prize worth celebrating when we come back." "What's going on here?" "Who was them two with Fagin?" "Just a couple of blokes like us." "They want to team up." "Fagin's not taking them on the job, is he?" "The boy's taking my place." "Stupid!" "Stupid!" "Don't you know who they are, you little scum?" "They're the two what you picked clean last night." "The two that had this." "What're we gonna do, Bill?" "We're gonna wait." "We're gonna wait and see if they bring back them jewels, or the coppers." "Oh, they'll stay out of the coppers' way, Bill." "You can bet on that." "Is it coppers you fear the most, boy?" "No, Bill, it's you." "We're afraid of you." "(STAMMERING) They'll bring back the jewels, Bill." "I know they will." "They better." "Because if they don't, you're gonna be feeling the full wrath of Bill Sikes." "You hear me, boy?" "Bogg, we can't really break into somebody's house." "We have to stay close to Fagin." "He's got the Omni." "Maybe we can warn them somehow." "Knock over a garbage can, make some kind of noise." "Quiet!" "Fagin'll have your ears." "Come on." "Come on!" "There's a box of jewels in that bedroom that'll put us on easy street." "This is it." "BOGG:" "We can't fit through that." "He can." "Me?" "Why me?" "You're taking the Dodger's place tonight." "Come on, boy, we haven't got all night." "Where does this hole go?" "Into the pantry." "Open the door." "We'll be waiting." "(GRUNTS)" "WOMAN:" "Hello?" "Is there someone in there?" "Is there anybody in there?" "Bogg!" "Bogg, help me!" "Help!" "There's someone in the pantry!" "Run!" "We can't leave without him." "If we don't, we'll be going to jail with him." "Come on!" "(DOOR OPENS)" "(DOOR CLOSES)" "Why didn't you tell me it was Marion Brownlow's house?" "I could've gotten invited to tea or something." "She thinks I'm a hero." "Not anymore, she don't!" "We have to go back and get Jeff." "As far as I'm concerned, he can fry in his own fat." "He can tell the police how to find this place." "That would be a fatal mistake, for both of you." "Who's this?" "This is my mate, Bill Sikes." "Name means nothing to me." "Oh, it will before you leave this place." "If you ever leave this place." "Pay attention to me, laddie, listen good to old Bill here." "When old Bill has something to say, I might start to listen." "I think you'll be interested in what I have to say." "Because, you see, we have a common interest in this." "Uh-uh!" "He's the pigeon from last night!" "Of course he is, you idiot!" "That's right." "It's mine, and I want it back." "Oh, you can have it back." "In exchange for what?" "There's a box of jewels in that Brownlow girl's bedroom." "Yeah, and we'd have had them, too, if you'd let me do me job!" "I want them jewels." "I don't care how you do it." "You put on some decent clothes, get back into that girl's house and bring me them jewels." "And when you do that, you can have your trinket here." "And save your own skin." "(SNICKERING)" "Here." "I'll take good care of this." "This could be worth a lot." "I hope so." "Considering a man's going to die for it." "But you're certain he didn't hurt you?" "How could he?" "He was too busy hurting himself." "Besides, he's only a child." "Marion, sometimes you're a very naive young lady." "I've spent a good deal of time studying these London street urchins." "They are children only in years." "It's not the fault of the children." "It's those awful men who train them how to be thieves." "Oh, Charles, wait until you meet him." "He's so beautiful, and smart." "Did you eat your soup?" "Oh, thanks." "It was great." "(CHUCKLES)" "Jeffrey, I'd like you to meet my fiancé, Mr. Dickens." "Charles, this is Jeffrey Jones." "How do you do?" "Charles Dickens!" "Do I know you, son?" "No, but I know you!" "I mean, I know of your work." "You're a writer, aren't you?" "You can read?" "Of course." "He is remarkable." "Jeffrey, I'd like you to tell Charles about that awful man who taught you how to steal." "What was his name?" "Bogg?" "Bogg's not the awful one." "It's Fagin." "Fagin?" "You mean you don't already know about Fagin?" "I've heard of men like him." "In fact, I've even been thinking of writing about them." ""Fagin."" "Has a sort of evil ring to it, don't you think?" "(CHUCKLING)" "You two talk." "I'm going to see what's happened to our tea." "Now, tell me about this Fagin character." "Well, these guys are bad." "(INAUDIBLE)" "(CHUCKLING)" "Hi." "I came to see Jeffrey." "I almost didn't recognize you." "If you don't leave right this second, I'm calling the constable." "Wait, please!" "You have to believe me." "Jeffrey's..." "I don't have to believe anything of the kind!" "That boy'd be much better off if he never saw you again." "Now, go away." "We were off to such a good start." "Don't you remember yesterday when I saved you from the purse snatchers?" "That was a trick." "You just wanted to find out where I lived." "No!" "It was a trick, all right, but I wanted to find out where they lived." "They stole something from Jeffrey and me." "They already know where you live." "They just wanted the keys so they wouldn't have to break in." "They're after your jewels." "And you've come here to get my jewels for them." "If I wanted to rob you, why would I be telling you all this?" "To trick me again." "Ask Jeffrey if I'm telling the truth." "He's in the parlor." "Jeffrey!" "Bogg!" "Hey, kid, easy." "You okay?" "Oh, sure." "I just fell into some boxes." "How about you?" "Did you find the Omni?" "We're in big trouble." "There's another man, Bill Sikes." "He makes that Fagin guy look like a saint." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "This must be Bogg." "Yes, sir." "This is my friend, Phineas Bogg." "And this is Charles Dickens." "How do you do?" "Hello." "Bogg, this is the Charles Dickens!" "Yeah, I said hello." "A Christmas Carol." "Bob Cratchit?" "Tiny Tim?" "Scrooge?" "Remember?" "Marion, you seem to have misjudged these two." "Yes." "And for once, I'm very happy to be wrong." "Scrooge!" "I remember him." "I think it was Christmas." "Something like that." "Jeffrey has been telling us about some of the fascinating characters you two have met." "Oh, I can't wait to put them on paper." "I wish we had more time to talk about it, but we really have to get going." "Don't you think, Jeffrey?" "Bogg, look." "The window!" "It was Fagin, and another man." "Sikes." "My Lord, they must've followed you here." "I'll get the butler to call for a constable." "No, wait." "I have a better idea." "What are we gonna do?" "How are we gonna get past them?" "By going in two directions at the same time." "What?" "If you can do that, sir, my hat's off to you." "You can keep your hat." "Just give me some of your help." "There he is!" "Good day, Mr. Bogg." "Come back anytime." "Look out!" "He's alone." "What do you think he's up to?" "Nothing we agreed to, that's for sure." "Come on." "I think it's time we took care of this one." "Can I help you?" "No, I thought you were someone else." "I thought that might be the case." "Good day." "You fool, they tricked us!" "Come on!" "I want you to wait out here." "Why?" "Because I have a plan." "Give me 10 seconds and start pounding on the door as hard as you can." "Why?" "Just do it, okay?" "Where's Fagin and Sikes?" "Coppers got them." "Fagin said to get the loot and get out quick." "Where's it hidden?" "Come on." "Hurry!" "The coppers are right behind us." "The coppers are right behind us." "(KNOCKING AT DOOR)" "See, I told you!" "Where is it?" "The fireplace." "Over there." "There's a loose brick up in the corner." "Right here." "(KNOCKING AT DOOR)" "Don't just stand there!" "Go out the back way." "I'll be right behind you." "Go on!" "Any problems?" "Just a couple of small ones." "Come on." "Come on, Fagin, hurry!" "There they are!" "Now what?" "Washington, D.C., 1862, right?" "April 18th." "They've disappeared!" "They can't have done!" "BOGG:" "Jeffrey, we said Washington and here we are." "JEFFREY:" "Yeah, at a park." "Hey, kid, I go for the soft landings every chance I get." "All we have to do is replace Lincoln's disloyal aide, this Lieutenant Bates and see that Jane Phillips doesn't get the correct route back to the White House." "Sounds good." "What do you mean, it sounds good?" "It is good." "What's wrong with it?" "Well, Jane Phillips is no dope, right?" "Right." "What if she already knows what Lieutenant Bates looks like?" "Presidents have more than one aide." "She'll get suspicious if he shows up with someone else." "Oh, I don't know." "What if Bates' replacement is someone who has a way with women?" "A unique brand of charm, someone who is debonair, sophisticated, good-Iooking?" "Okay, I'll do it." "(LAUGHS)" "(CHAMBER MUSIC PLAYING)" "(MUSIC STOPS)" "Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, and Mrs. Lincoln." "(ALL APPLAUDING)" "(BAND STARTS PLAYING)" "Mrs. Lincoln's coat." "Take good care of it." "JEFFREY:" "Lieutenant Bates?" "A Miss Phillips would like to see you, sir, in private." "Up there." "She said she'd leave the door open for you." "Thank you, boy." "She is magnificent." "Cool it, Casanova!" "Remember, she's a spy." "(MUSIC STOPS)" "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "How'd everything go with Lieutenant Bates?" "Don't worry about him or the beautiful lady." "JEFFREY:" "Looks like you got her attention." "Are you sure she won't recognize you from the stockade?" "Relax!" "All that hasn't even happened yet." "Excuse me, Mr. President, could I have a word with you?" "Yes, what is it, Lieutenant?" "I have some bad news about Lieutenant Bates." "I'm afraid he's come down with something." "A little food poisoning, they think." "Oh, my." "Well, where is he?" "He's resting." "He'll be fine in the morning." "I'm assigned to fill in for him." "I don't remember seeing you around the White House." "No, sir." "You wouldn't have." "I just returned from the front." "Oh, yeah." "What front?" "The Western Front?" "Ah." "It's been a hard campaign out there." "I wish I could bring all of you men back for a good rest." "You're doing a fine job." "Thank you, sir." "If there's anything I can do, just let me know." "At the moment, my only order is that you have a good time." "Yes, sir." "I'm certain I can handle the assignment." "(BAND STARTS PLAYING)" "Thank you." "My pleasure." "If a man was ever born to wear a uniform, it's you." "There are other uniforms I prefer." "A lighter color might be more complimentary to your eyes." "And closer to my heart." "Lieutenant Bates couldn't make it." "He sent me in his place." "Well, I think he made an excellent choice." "Well, thank you." "Would you care to dance?" "I'd be delighted." "(MUSIC STOPS)" "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "(BAND STARTS PLAYING)" "You dance beautifully." "I suppose you do everything this well?" "Many things I do much better." "And you're sure about the route?"

"You were really hot out there." "I didn't know you could dance like that." "Are you kidding?" "(OMNI BEEPING)" "Didn't you ever hear of Nijinsky?" "Come on, Bogg." "You're not gonna tell me you taught Nijinsky how to dance?" "Taught him?" "Wednesday matinees, I was Nijinsky." "Bogg!" "Look." "Now what's she up to?" "Oh, Lieutenant?" "Yes, sir?" "I'm ready to leave now." "Would you get the carriage, please?" "Yes, sir." "Oh, and by the way, Lieutenant," "I've invited Miss Phillips to join Mrs. Lincoln and me at the White House for coffee." "I'll get her carriage, too, sir." "That won't be necessary." "The President has graciously invited me to ride along with him in his carriage, and I would very much like it if you'd join us." "I'd be honored." "Yes." "This should be the perfect end to a perfect day." "We'll meet you in the foyer." "Jane, won't you come help me find Mrs. Lincoln?" "Oh, of course." "Now what?" "She's in for a big surprise." "By the way, how are you gonna get to the White House?" "Don't worry, I'll hitch a ride." "When the President told me that you were a hero who'd just returned from combat, well..." "I want to hear everything." "Yes, Lieutenant, we'd all be most interested to learn your impressions of the action." "Well, I'm sure it's just like any other war." "Why is it that the real heroes are always the modest ones?" "What's going on?" "We're supposed to be taking Rock Creek Road." "I guess there was a change in plans." "Well, there's gonna be another change in plans." "Do you know what you're doing?" "What this will mean?" "It will mean that Jeff Davis will be sleeping in the White House before Christmas." "Now, tell the officer to get back on the other road." "Lieutenant, stop the column." "Halt!" "Halt!" "We'll take the country route after all." "Column left, ho!" "This way is much prettier, and far more isolated." "Jane Phillips, a traitor." "I can't believe it." "Not a traitor, Mr. Lincoln, a patriot." "Two patriots, in fact." "(MEN WHOOPING)" "JEFFREY:" "Oh, no!" "All right." "Take it easy and everything will be all right." "All right, climb down from there." "Everything all right in there?" "Everything in here is just fine." "Soldier, take my horse." "Everybody, just sit back and relax." "We're gonna take a little ride down to Richmond." "What are you doing?" "Changing a patriot back into a traitor." "What?" "BOGG:" "Open the door." "(URGING HORSE)" "(EXCLAIMS)" "Whoa, whoa!" "Stop!" "JEFFREY:" "Stop!" "Slow down." "Whoa, slow down!" "JEFFREY:" "Slow down, whoa!" "Slow down!" "(YELLING)" "Stop, horse!" "Whoa, boy, whoa!" "Slow!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Yeah!" "Okay, that's good." "Wow, kid." "Where'd you learn that trick?" "Western movies." "John Wayne made it look easy." "Yeah." "Well, there's a big difference between you and John Wayne." "Yeah." "About four feet." "Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln, you all right?" "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, we're fine." "Fine." "Now, there, there." "Thank you." "If it hadn't been for you two, I..." "I don't know what to say." "Don't worry about it, Mr. President." "When the time comes, you'll know what to say." "Bogg, are you sure this is the right date?" "(DINGS)" "November 19th, 1863." "Are you sure this is the right place?" "(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)" "Come on, Bogg." "Hurry." "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation," "conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." "We are met on a great battlefield of that war." "We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live." "JEFFREY..." "If you want to learn more about Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, or the works of Charles Dickens, just take a voyage down to your public library." "It's all in books!" "There he is, Bogg!" "That's Old Hickory!" "General Jackson!" "Fire!" "Where's Captain Lafitte?" "He's a French pirate." "He's supposed to be fighting for Jackson now." "Hey, don't be leaving me so fast." "I know where the pirate's treasure is hidden." "Hello, matey." "JEFFREY:" "Bogg, there's five more of them." "Voyagers don't run from a fight." "JEFFREY:" "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "We travel through time to help history along, give it a push where it's needed." "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong." "Our job's to get everything back on track." "(OMNI DINGS)" "Green light, kid!" "We did it!" "Hey, they're coming!" "They're coming!" "Scatter!" "Scatter!" "Clear the street!" "MAN:" "Come on, boy, let's go!" "(PLUMMETING)" "It sure is quiet." "Too quiet." "(BEEPING)" "New Orleans, 1850." "Yeah, so what's wrong?" "Beats me." "Something's gotta be wrong, the Omni's red." "So are their uniforms." "Whose uniforms?" "Stop it!" "Let go!" "Shut up, Yank, or we'll hang you ourselves." "Go back to England!" "This is our country!" "Leave him alone!" "After them!" "Get those kids!" "This is all wrong, Bogg." "The redcoats aren't supposed to be... (GUN FIRES)" "Shooting at us?" "You're telling me, kid." "Come on, run!" "What are they shooting at us for?" "Because we're not on their side." "How do they know?" "Wait a minute." "Whose side are we on?" "The American side." "That the same side as those kids throwing rotten tomatoes?" "(GUN FIRING)" "Great." "Wait!" "We're on your side." "What's going on?" "What is that all about?" "Haven't you heard that the redcoats have declared martial law?" "You mean the British are in control of the city?" "They have ever since the Battle of New Orleans." "Come on, Sam, run!" "Where have you guys been?" "Who's that guy those soldiers were dragging off?" "That's one of Jackson's officers." "They're gonna string him up." "What happened to General Jackson?" "Nobody knows." "I sure hope he got away." "We were supposed to win the Battle of New Orleans." "What happened?" "How did they break the American line?" "What about Jean Lafitte?" "Jean Lafitte?" "The only Lafitte I know is Pierre Lafitte." "Maybe they're related." "Where can we find him?" "He's got the bakery shop across the street over there." "Look, we're forming a resistance group." "You know, an underground." "There's a meeting tonight at St. Anne's Church at 7:00." "If you're with us, you be there." "(GUN FIRING)" "Sure is confusing." "What should've happened?" "General Jackson's troops routed the British out of the middle of some swamp." "The redcoats didn't even get close to the city." "The victory made Old Hickory a national hero." "He's supposed to be elected President in 1828." "What about John Lafitte?" "Jean Lafitte." "He's a French pirate in control of the swamps." "He's supposed to be on our side." "I guess we better find out what happened." "Come on." "Are they gone?" "Yeah, but they'll be coming back." "It's terrible." "Terrible." "They treat us like slaves in our own country." "Did you ever hear tell of another Lafitte, Jean Lafitte?" "He was my brother." "Was?" "He's been dead a long time." "Did you know him?" "We knew of him." "I don't care what anyone says, Jean was a fine man and a wonderful brother." "Who said he wasn't?" "People." "Liars." "Why?" "What happened?" "He was charged with piracy and hanged by the Spanish." "But it wasn't true." "When did it happen?" "The summer of 1798." "It was one of my first trips to New Orleans." "He sent me a letter saying that he had found lodging at over a tavern in Nassau," "Two Maids From Bristol, it was called." "Here they come!" "Everybody off the streets." "(GUN FIRING)" "Mr. Lafitte, let us in." "There's two of them!" "Get them!" "I think I've seen enough." "We gotta get the rest of the story from Pierre." "We gotta find out what happened to Jean." "We got a date and a place." "That's plenty." "You stay where you are!" "You're right." "That is plenty." "What..." "Where did they go?" "Where are they?" "What happened?" "Hurry, will you?" "I'm doing it as fast as I can." "(PLUMMETING)" "This doesn't look like the Bahamas to me." "Must've stuck on automatic again." "At least nobody's pointing guns at us." "Try bows and arrows." "CLARK:" "They're turning tails." "They're running." "If we spent 100 years trooping around this country," "I'd still never be able to figure out those people." "I guess they must've seen what one of these can do to a man." "Ah, excuse me." "We didn't mean to scare you." "Where did you two come from?" "From Canada." "We're trappers." "Who cares where they came from?" "Boy, other than our party, you're the first white faces we've seen in months." "Where is the rest of your party?" "Camped a few miles back." "I'm William Clark, this is Meriwether Lewis." "This is Phineas Bogg." "I'm Jeffrey Jones." "Hello, Jeff." "JEFFREY:" "It's great to meet you both." "I thought Clark and Lewis were comedians?" "That was Martin and Lewis." "Oh." "Bogg, these are America's greatest explorers." "Oh." "What were you doing up in that tree?" "We were trying to decide whether to follow that ridge or go down through that valley." "See, I figured if I got up in that tree, I could get a better look." "I got a feeling that ridge is gonna lead to the edge of a cliff." "There could be a river down in that valley." "Or a box canyon with sheer walls." "At least we can see where we're going if we follow the ridge." "But the flow of the river will take us toward the ocean." "So will the sun." "How do you know there is a river down there?" "You know, sometimes, William, you're such a dreamer." "I think America's greatest explorers are lost." "I've got an idea." "Instead of standing here talking about it, why don't we all go a little ways along the ridge?" "Maybe there's a spot where we can get a good look down into that canyon." "The boy has a point." "And if your instincts are correct, we'll be that much further on our way." "All right, I'll lead the way." "JEFFREY:" "Check the Omni, quick." "(BEEPING)" "Red light." "Must be the other trail." "Hey, wait!" "Look, down there, through the trees!" "Isn't that water?" "Maybe it's a river!" "I don't see anything." "Neither do I." "All right, Meriwether, let's try it your way." "We'll stay on the ridge." "Look!" "The Indians are back!" "Where?" "On the trail ahead." "I don't see anything." "Yeah, well, that's the way it is with the Indians around here." "So clever you never see them until it's too late." "Way to go." "Well, maybe we should try that other trail." "You thought you saw water down there, didn't you, son?" "Well, it sure looked like water." "Can't hurt to take a look." "Just in case." "Green light." "Hey, did you really see Indians?" "Did you really see water?" "(BOTH LAUGHING)" "Oh, Nassau, right?" "1798." "Okay." "Come on, lads, time be a-wasting!" "Look lively, there!" "The tide will be on us soon enough." "(PLUMMETING)" "Hold it, lads." "Move along." "Move along!" "(OMNI BEEPING)" "One thing's for sure, it's a beach." "1798, the Bahamas." "Right where we're supposed to be." "Okay." "Yeah, but on the second try." "So, which way is Nassau?" "We got to find Lafitte." "Down the beach, around those rocks." "You sure?" "Hey, kid, I was a pirate long before I was a voyager." "Where do you think I got these clothes?" "Come on." "You know, Jeff, I have a good feeling about this place." "Hey, Bogg, what's behind these rocks?" "Bogg, look!" "Hello, matey." "Come here, boy!" "I want to talk to you." "Bogg, help!" "So, it's two snoopers who'd steal an old sailor's prize, is it?" "What's he talking about?" "I didn't know you were there." "Honest, I didn't!" "That's your hard luck, sonny." "(GRUNTS)" "Mates!" "Over here!" "Wait here." "Come on, Bogg, let's get out of here." "No way, kid." "Voyagers don't run from a fight." "On the other hand, voyagers aren't stupid." "Come on." "Get after 'em!" "Come on, kid, we can outrun them!" "Hurry, lads, we're gaining on 'em!" "Don't let 'em get away!" "Come on!" "Oh, forget it, we'll never catch 'em." "BOGG:" "See, I told you we could outrun them." "JEFFREY:" "My feet are killing me." "This is it." "What do you think of Nassau?" "Wow, this place is great!" "You should've seen it 100 years ago." "Now, those were the good old days." "Some of the greatest pirates in all of history walked these very streets," "Captain Kidd, Calico Jack, Blackbeard." "And Jean Lafitte, remember?" "Yeah, I didn't forget." "It's just that, well, some of my best friends have been pirates." "You know, you would have made a great tour guide at Disneyland." "Disneyland?" "Is that a country?" "(CHUCKLING)" "Bogg, give it up." "Look, there it is." "Two Maids From Bristol." "You wait out here." "I'll see if I can get a line on Lafitte." "Wait, I want to go with you." "What if that guy with the black eye patch is inside?" "I'm not scared of him." "MAN:" "Stay out of here, you scurvy bum." "On the other hand, that's probably not much of a place for kids anyway." "I'll be right back." "Hey, fellow, watch your step there, huh?" "Got a couple of coppers for an old sailor?" "Maybe next time." "Please, matey, anything'll help." "BOGG:" "I'm sorry." "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "(MUSIC STOPS)" "(MURMURING)" "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "(PEOPLE LAUGHING)" "Hello." "PARROT:" "What'll it be, mate?" "That's enough of that, now!" "That's enough of that, now!" "God save King George!" "You be quiet on your perch or I'll wring your neck." "Haven't seen you around." "Yeah, I just got into port." "If you're looking for lodging, I got two rooms left." "I don't know how long I'll be staying, it all depends on whether I can find the brother of an old shipmate or not." "Oh?" "What might his name be?" "Jean Lafitte." "So, it's Jean Lafitte you're looking for." "You know him?" "Oh, indeed I do." "He's right over there, having a little chat with Lizzie." "He must tell a good story." "He does have a way about him, that one." "Think I'll go over and say hello." "Thanks a lot." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Don't be leaving me so fast." "I was just starting to like you." "It'll just be a minute." "He'll be there." "Besides, it'd be rude to interrupt right in the best part of his story." "(CHUCKLING)" "You know, I'll bet that you have a few stories of your own to tell." "You've probably heard them all." "Why don't you let me be the judge of that?" "Got a penny for an old sailor?" "BLIND MAN:" "Help a poor, blind man, mate." "MAN:" "Get out of the way, you old bum." "How about a hand, mate?" "Help a poor, blind man." "Here you go." "Hey, let go!" "Open your hand." "Is that all you got, boy?" "No, sir, but..." "Hey, wait a minute, you're not blind!" "And you're not doing enough to help the poor." "Now give me your purse and be quick about it!" "No!" "Bogg!" "Let me go, you old bum." "BLIND MAN:" "Come back here." "You little..." "Come back here!" "Where are you, boy?" "Are you hiding in here?" "You won't get away from old Rufus." "Where'd he go?" "Get you, boy." "I'll get you." "SCROGGINS:" "In here, Scar, so we can talk in private." "SCAR:" "This better be good." "Come on." "All right, Scroggins, let's have it." "There's a Spanish merchantman due in the harbor any day now." "I hear tell she's as ripe a prize as my good eye has ever seen." "Silks, lace, barrels of rum bigger than that one." "A chest of gold." "Payment for the goods she delivered to Veracruz." "Now, what do you say, Scar?" "Would old Bill Scroggins steer a poor man's course?" "With enough likely lads as yourself, we can take her easy." "You already have the rest of the crew?" "Some's aboard already, clamoring to set sail." "The others are down at the Two Maids From Bristol." "What are they doing down there?" "Why aren't they out helping the others?" "'Cause they don't know they're part of the crew just yet." "(BOTH LAUGHING)" "A couple of friends is recruiting 'em just now." "All we'll have to do is pick 'em up just afore we sail." "What do you say, Scar, are you with me?" "I'll probably be with you in hell, Bill Scroggins." "At least we'll be together." "(BOTH LAUGHING)" "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "Now, you've seen Pierre." "My brother is well?" "You're sure of it?" "Yes, when I saw him, he was as fit as I am." "Jean, can't we talk about this later?" "I haven't seen my brother in two years." "I wasn't even sure if he was alive." "He said if I was ever in Nassau, to be sure and look you up." "Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" "No, thanks, I'm fine." "What did he say?" "Did he have a message for me?" "Yes, he said to tell you to come to New Orleans." "I've heard it said that a man can make his fortune in New Orleans." "A man can make his fortune right here in Nassau." "Besides, how could I leave my Lizzie?" "That's right." "Your brother's gonna be awfully disappointed." "It sounded like he misses you a lot." "I miss him, too, but New Orleans is so far away." "Not that far away." "Why don't we go down to the harbor right now and board a ship bound for New Orleans." "You can't leave." "We only just met." "But don't you see?" "It's best this way." "There's no sad memories and all that kind of junk." "What's wrong with him?" "Are you okay?" "You're going on a ship all right, but it's not to New Orleans." "You're going with him." "Oh, my head hurts." "What are we doing here?" "We've been shanghaied." "Annie and Lizzie are going to sell the lot of us to be crew on some ship." "Not just some ship." "Black Bill Scroggins' ship." "Big guy with a black patch over one eye?" "You're sure it'll be Bill Scroggins' ship?" "I saw them two ladies talking to him the night before they snatched me." "(LAUGHS)" "Perfect!" "Perfect?" "They drug your food, lock you up in their basement and sell you onto some pirate ship where you'll probably end up as some shark's lunch, and you call it perfect?" "Yes." "I've been trying to figure a way to get close to Scroggins for weeks." "He's supposed to have a chest full of gold and jewels that he took from the Manila Galleon." "Why didn't you just offer to sign on his ship?" "He's too suspicious." "Besides, no one ever wants to join one of his crews." "I don't believe this guy." "Bogg." "Don't worry, he's a friend." "Kid, you okay?" "I'm fine." "How about you?" "In shock." "I tried everything I could think of to save this guy, but no dice." "He wants to be shanghaied." "I bet you can't guess whose ship we're gonna end up on." "Oh, yes, I can." "Black Bill Scroggins' ship." "And that's not the worst part of it." "I overheard Scroggins planning to attack a Spanish merchant ship." "Pierre Lafitte said it was the Spanish that hanged Jean for piracy." "That's why we've got to get you and him out of here, and fast." "The only way of getting him out of here is to carry him." "Why does he want to be on Scroggins' ship so bad?" "He wants to get near Scroggins so he can get his treasure." "You mean the one we saw them burying?" "Must be." "The women who run the tavern, what are their names?" "Anne Brown and Lizzie..." "I don't know." "Why?" "I'm gonna go have a talk with them." "About what?" "Buried treasure, what else?" "(HORSE SNUFFLING)" "Somebody's coming." "Got to go." "Jeffrey, wait!" "Not too much now, Your Majesty." "Not too much now, Your Majesty." "All right, what's wrong with you?" "We ought to keep those two for ourselves." "I was starting to like the new one." "There's plenty more where that scurvy pair came from." "Just wait till the next ship comes in." "Who knows?" "Prince Charming himself might be on board!" "Right." "Searching the world to find the perfect lady to be his queen." "Lucky for him he's got two of us to choose from!" "(LAUGHING)" "Hey, hold on, boy!" "What do you want in here?" "I'm looking for the owner." "You're looking at the owner." "One of them, anyway." "Where can we talk?" ""Where can we talk?"" "Over here." "The name's Jones, Jamaica Jones, off the brigantine Shark just out of the Dry Tortugas." "Well, I'm Anne Brown, this is Lizzie Palmer." "So, what's this all about?" "It's about buried treasure." "That's what it's about." "He's a little young to be Prince Charming, but..." "Maybe he's looking for a Queen Mother." "As you were saying..." "I know where a pirate's chest is hidden, and I'm willing to cut you in for a share." "Oh, you are, are you?" "Why me and Lizzie?" "I mean, you don't know us from old Eve herself." "You've got a mate of mine locked up downstairs in your cellar." "And I want him back." "In the cellar?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about a chest this big, full of gold and jewels." "(PARROT SQUAWKING)" "Maria!" "MARIA:" "Sí, señora, what do you want?" "I want you to keep an eye on the place." "We'll be gone a while." "I don't want to escape to New Orleans and start a little shop with Pierre." "I want to stay here." "I like being a pirate." "I know." "I've been a pirate for longer than you'd ever believe." "But I've known them all and you're special." "You're a natural born leader." "You're gonna do something important..." "Yes, one day when I have my own ship." "Captain Jean Lafitte, they'll call me." "Not if you join up with Scroggins, they won't." "How could you know that?" "You can't know the future." "No, but I know what the great captains of the past were like." "They were like me?" "Oh, yeah, very much like you." "(DOOR OPENS)" "Move!" "ANNIE:" "Now, get back!" "How could you do this?" "How could you sell me to that awful Bill Scroggins?" "It was easy." "Hey, you're coming with us." "And one more man to help with the shoveling." "Pick one." "Quick." "MAN:" "Take me." "I'll go." "I'll do it." "This one." "Me?" "Dig?" "I'm sick." "I can't go." "We're gonna dig up Scroggins' treasure, you idiot." "But, on the other hand, maybe a little exercise would make me feel better." "Nice job, kid." "It'll be easy to slip away once they get their hands on that treasure." "If I can just remember exactly where they buried it." "Over here." "I think this is it." "You think this is it?" "Here." "You heard him." "Start digging." "Where?" "Where is it?" "It's here someplace." "This is a big beach, kid." "When we start digging through the jewels, it will be easy." "You take Anne." "I'll take Lizzie." "Hey!" "Cut the gab!" "You're here to dig!" "(SQUAWKING)" "PARROT:" "What'll it be, matey?" "Look out!" "Parrot soup's what it'll be, matey!" "Yes?" "Where's Anne and the other one?" "Not here." "I'm watching the place." "Well, they're supposed to be here." "We got business, me and them." "Sorry." "You're gonna be more than sorry if you don't tell me where they went." "They left with a boy." "Boy?" "Black, curly hair?" "Red shirt?" "The little weasel!" "(SQUAWKING)" "Hey, watch it, matey!" "ANNIE:" "What are you gonna do?" "Dig up the whole beach?" "That tide must've buried it deeper than I thought." "But it's here, believe me." "JEAN:" "That's it!" "You found it." "(JEAN LAUGHS) JEFFREY:" "See?" "I told you!" "Come on." "ANNIE:" "Hurry up!" "Get it out of there!" "Lift it out!" "This is very heavy." "That's because it's very full." "So, we meet again, mateys." "What do you want here, Bill Scroggins?" "That's my chest you're digging up." "The chest belongs to whoever can hold on to it." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "I think we better help these ladies." "They can take care of themselves." "Come on, lads." "Lizzie, give me your sword." "If you want a cutlass, you get one from them!" "Look out, kid." "JEFFREY:" "Look out!" "JEFFREY:" "Bogg, there's another one." "Behind you!" "Now, now, Annie, don't make me hurt you." "Don't worry about me, Scroggins." "Look out for yourself." "Not bad for a woman!" "(YELLS)" "Watch it!" "I've got you now, my beauty!" "Get up and fight!" "Come on, Scroggins." "Say good night, you slimy little miscreant." "Next time, I'll cut it off." "JEFFREY:" "Way to go, Bogg, just like Errol Flynn." "Come on." "(LAUGHING)" "BOGG:" "Now we've got him." "And now you don't." "(SCREAMS)" "Okay!" "Now, what are you gonna do?" "Don't touch that sword." "That's it, run!" "Come on, Bogg." "ANNIE:" "Bogg, look out!" "Hey, you're pretty good with a sword." "But how well can you swim?" "(EXCLAIMS)" "Yeah!" "Look at them run!" "Yeah!" "Looks like we did it, kid." "Let's get that chest open." "Help me." "Great fight!" "Yeah!" "You two are something else." "Lizzie!" "You were magnificent!" "Back off!" "But Lizzie, you'll need someone strong to help you carry it to town." "Uh-uh-uh." "You'd be surprised how strong two ladies can be when they want to be." "JEAN:" "But Lizzie..." "Get out of here!" "All of you!" "Wow!" "What a couple of tough chicks!" "Okay, we're going." "We get the message." "And just keep going." "I don't believe this." "We had the treasure in our hands, and we lost it to those women." "Don't feel bad." "Those two are not ordinary women." "Listen to him." "If anyone knows women, it's Bogg." "Thanks, kid." "I think." "The women of New Orleans, what are they like?" "BOGG:" "Far more beautiful than the women of Nassau." "And more gentle?" "Much more gentle." "You know, my friend, I've been thinking about what you said." "This place is not for me." "The people, they don't know a natural leader when they see one." "I think I shall find that ship you were talking about and go to New Orleans." "I have a feeling you're gonna do big things in New Orleans." "(SCOFFS)" "(CHUCKLES)" "(DINGS) JEFFREY:" "Green light!" "You know, kid, in all my years as a voyager," "Lafitte's the only one who ever tried to stop me from getting him out of trouble." "But you did it." "You got him started in the right direction." "Yeah, but what if he makes a wrong turn somewhere between here and New Orleans?" "You know, Bogg, I've always wanted to meet Andrew Jackson." "Well, you're gonna get your chance." "JACKSON:" "Keep a sharp lookout, men." "Sharp lookout!" "Wake up, there, Kelly." "You can sleep for a week when this is over." "It won't be too much longer now." "See anything?" "Nothing yet." "Why did it have to be foggy today of all days?" "I don't know that that fog means anything to get all riled up about, Mr. Bundy." "They can't see us any better than we can see them." "You got a point, Andy." "(PLUMMETING)" "One good thing about swamps, they're soft." "Yeah, and foggy." "Just how it's supposed to be." "Is it the right date?" "(BEEPING) January 8, 1815, and it's red!" "Maybe it's not Lafitte." "Let's find out what's going on." "It's going to be Lafitte." "I know it is." "Keep a sharp lookout there, boys." "There he is, Bogg!" "That's Old Hickory!" "General Jackson!" "Where have you two fellows been?" "We've been waiting for you." "You have?" "Sure." "For the flints and powder." "Where's Captain Lafitte?" "You mean he isn't with you?" "Well, no." "He took some of his men to bring back the flints and powder, which we desperately need." "They've been gone all night." "They should've been back before now." "You can say that again." "You two are with Captain Lafitte?" "I mean, the way you're dressed, I thought..." "Yes, sir, we are with Captain Lafitte." "We were supposed to meet him here at dawn." "Well, it's almost dawn." "I hope for all our sakes he gets here pretty soon." "We need his flints and we need his men." "Don't worry, General Jackson." "He'll be here in plenty of time." "I knew it was Lafitte." "Maybe he's in some kind of trouble." "He's in trouble, all right." "With me." "Bogg, we've gotta find him." "The redcoats will attack at dawn." "Without Lafitte's men, without his flints and powder, there's no way the Americans can hold them off." "Yeah, all right." "Start asking around." "We have to find out where he was going." "Look alive, men." "BOGG:" "Must've missed him." "It's getting lighter all the time." "This has to be the right trail." "It's the one they said he'd take." "MAN:" "Finally this bloody fog is beginning to clear." "Get down!" "MAN 2:" "Good." "The sun can't come out soon enough for me." "You think we ought to try another trail?" "No!" "We're already lost." "We could walk right into the Yank lines." "Why do they have to be lost right on our trail?" "Bogg, look." "Lafitte!" "I knew he'd be in some kind of trouble." "Shh!" "Stay where you are." "Get back." "Stay down." "This is great." "Just great." "What are we gonna do?" "It's dawn!" "The redcoats are gonna attack any minute now." "Remember Lewis and Clark?" "Lewis and Clark." "Lewis and Clark!" "Yeah, right!" "Indians!" "Right!" "Ready?" "Come on!" "Hey, don't shoot!" "The Indians are after us." "Indians?" "I thought the colonials were up that way." "Yeah, maybe they are, but you got to get past the Indians first." "Yeah, and there must be 1000 of them right behind us!" "A thousand of them?" "Thank God you got weapons." "Do you have any extras?" "I don't see anything." "That's the way it is with these Indians around here." "They're so clever, you never see them until it's, well, too late." "I couldn't have said it better myself." "One thing's for sure." "I won't be caught out in the open like this." "Down here, quick!" "Go ahead, we're right behind you." "Take cover." "Every man for himself." "How good are you at dying?" "I don't know." "I've never tried it before." "You never played Cowboys and Indians before?" "Oh, that kind of dying." "Well, hey." "Okay, on the count of three." "Ready?" "One, two, three." "(BOTH GROANING)" "Indians?" "But I didn't hear any gunshots." "And I don't see any arrows in them." "Then what happened to them?" "I don't think I want to find out." "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Wake up, Bogg." "Captain Lafitte is safe now." "Come on." "Let's go." "But don't I know you?" "We'll talk about it later." "You go on." "We'll catch up to you." "Thank you, my friends." "Thank you." "I shall not forget this." "Let's go." "Come on, Bogg, let's get back to General Jackson!" "MAN:" "The powder and the flints are here." "Hurry up and get them passed out." "Careful with that, kid, it's heavy." "No, I can handle it." "Let me help you with that." "Thanks." "Looks like we made it." "Yeah, check the Omni." "I'm afraid to." "Thank you very much for helping us back there." "We could not have made it without you." "Lucky we happened to be there when you needed us." "Again." "I'm sure I've seen you somewhere." "From Nassau." "The Two Maids From Bristol?" "Anne Brown?" "You gotta remember Lizzie." "But you'd have to be much older!" "That's clean living for you." "Say, what ever happened to your brother, Pierre?" "He's back at the boats, unloading." "He'll be as surprised to see you as I am." "Get some of that powder down to battery C!" "Yes, sir." "Captain Lafitte!" "Take some of your men down there, too." "That battery could use some riflemen." "Men, follow me!" "Bring them on, Andy, we're ready for them." "Hold your horses, Mr. Bundy." "Hold your horses." "They'll be here soon enough." "Keep down, kid!" "General Jackson!" "I heard what you did for Captain Lafitte." "He would have made it without us." "That's not what he says." "When this is over... (BAGPIPES PLAYING)" "JEFFREY:" "Bogg, what's that?" "BOGG:" "It's the British, Jeff, they're coming." "This is it." "Jeff, get back." "I told you to stay down." "(EXPLOSION)" "Nobody fires till I give the order!" "(EXPLOSION)" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "(EXPLOSION)" "(GUNS FIRING)" "Reload and keep firing!" "Reload and fire at will!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "All right!" "You did it, men." "They're running." "They're turning tail, Andy!" "They're running!" "We did it!" "We did it, Andy!" "We did it!" "We beat them!" "I believe we did, Mr. Bundy!" "I believe we did." "JACKSON:" "Well done, men." "Well done." "What a victory!" "Back in Nassau, long ago, you said I do something important in New Orleans." "How did you know?" "Sometimes I get these hunches about people." "I had a feeling destiny had something planned for you." "But to be part of such a victory," "I never dreamed of being part of such a thing." "Thank you, my friends." "Thank you." "You know, if he only knew how important this victory really is." "What do you mean?" "Well, this battle showed everybody the United States was no one to mess around with." "These redcoats we beat were the best army in the world." "They were the ones who beat Napoleon." "Why didn't you tell me that before the battle?" "Pretty soon they'll be calling General Jackson "The Hero of New Orleans."" "I hope not." "I don't deserve it." "Everybody here is a hero." "My Kentuckyans, Captain Lafitte and his men, and the two of you." "I said before the shooting started, I wanted to thank you personally when this was over." "Oh, sir, just being with you here is all the thanks I need." "Well, it's not all the thanks I have to give." "Mr. Bogg, raise him up here." "For bravery in service of your country far beyond the call of duty." "ALL:" "Hip, hip, hurray!" "Wow!" "When you grow up, son, get in touch with me." "I have a feeling you're gonna be a man who does some great things." "Thanks." "Let's go, men." "Here, Bogg, you deserve it more than I do." "Oh, I don't know about that." "Besides, it looks better on you." "JEFFREY..." "If you want to learn more about Andrew Jackson," "Jean Lafitte or the War of 1812, take a voyage down to your public library." "It's all in books!" "Who's the boy, anyway?" "Bogg, who is this guy?" "This guy happens to be one of the greatest voyagers who ever lived." "Kneel, dog!" "Kneel in the presence of Great Kublai Khan." "If Marco Polo doesn't meet Kublai Khan, it'll foul up Europe's whole understanding of China." "(GRUNTING)" "(SOLDIERS CHEERING)" "(SOLDIERS SHOUTING)" "The Karaunas!" "SOLDIER:" "Run for your life!" "Jeffrey!" "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "We travel through time to help history along, give it a push where it's needed." "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong." "Our job's to get everything back on track." "(OMNI DINGS)" "Green light, kid!" "We did it!" "(PLUMMETING)" "Terrific." "Another three feet that way and we would've landed on the bed." "Don't complain." "Three feet this side and it'd be the birdcage." "Whoa, I'm freezing." "New York." "December 11, 1930." "Recognize the date?" "Fourteen days till Christmas." "(CHUCKLES) That's a lot of help." "Nobody's perfect." "Hey!" "Get out of there!" "Hey!" "Look out, kid!" "Hey, what are you guys doing?" "You chumps or something?" "You could've got youse moidered." "We could've got us what?" "Moidered, moidered, moidered." "As in dead." "Right." "Now get out of here!" "Get out!" "We're going." "We're going." "Okay, Charlie, take it up." "Was that English?" "Brooklynese." "Don't knock it." "The guy saved our tubas." "Our what?" "Bogg, look." "BOGG:" "Who is it?" "A politician?" "JEFFREY:" "Try physicist." "That's Albert Einstein." "Einstein?" "You mean E equals..." "What is E equal?" "E equals mc-squared." "Right." "Is he supposed to be here?" "I think so." "JEFFREY:" "I know he came here from Germany sometime in the '30s." "Well, whatever's wrong probably has something to do with..." "Bogg, look." "Youse, watch it!" "It's gonna fall!" "WOMAN:" "Oh, my God." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Einstein..." "Doctor..." "I didn't mean..." "I mean, I hope I didn't..." "You hope you didn't save us?" "No, it's just that I didn't really mean to..." "Yeah, well, say what you mean then." "What I think he means is he hopes he didn't hurt you." "Exactly." "Hurt us?" "How much could hurt when you saved our lives?" "Thank you." "I am eternally grateful, Mr..." "Bogg." "Phineas Bogg." "And this is Jeffrey Jones." "Hi." "I'm a big fan." "(CHUCKLES) A fan?" "I feel like an American movie star." "Oh, sure." "We studied all about your theory of relativity at school." "Energy is equal to mass times the constant, which is the speed of light, squared." "Yes." "It applies to light energy in relative time." "You learned about light energy and relative time in grammar school?" "No, see my father, he's a professor." "A physicist." "That would explain it then." "Such a smart boy." "All right, youse, everybody out of here!" "We got to clean up!" "I'm staying onboard the Belgenland." "Pier 9." "You must have dinner with me onboard tonight. 8:00." "I could be talked into playing the violin." "I don't think..." "We'll be there." "Good." "Auf Wiedersehen." "So nice to have met you." "Come, my dear." "REPORTER:" "Jeffrey Jones, smart kid." "Dr. Einstein, does your theory suggest that time travel is possible, sir?" "EINSTEIN:" "Time travel?" "Yeah." "I suppose that is a possibility." "(EINSTEIN LAUGHING)" "I don't know why you told him we could have dinner." "Are you kidding?" "Pass up a meal with one of the greatest minds of our time?" "Well, I'm telling you, forget it." "I'm telling you, I'm hungry." "(DINGS)" "Green light, kid." "Now come here." "Hey, there!" "Come back here." "No way." "I'm staying for dinner." "Jeff!" "Hey, you two!" "Wait!" "There's no way, I'm getting anywhere near you." "Look, I'll make it up to you." "Don't waste your breath." "Hey, voyager!" "Voyager!" "Voyager!" "(PANTING)" "You want I should have a heart attack or something?" "You'd think that you young tykes don't have ears, the way you listen." "Bogg, who is this guy?" "Who's the boy, anyway?" "Wait a minute, who are you?" "Me?" "I'm Isaac Wolfstein." "You, you're a voyager." "But the kid, the kid I don't understand." "Since when do voyagers have little sidekicks to get in the way?" "Isaac Wolfstein?" "You're not..." "You couldn't be..." "Wild Man Wolfstein?" "Well, not so wild anymore, but who's to complain?" "But you're a legend." "Barely in my time, maybe." "Bogg?" "This is Jeffrey Jones." "I'm Phineas Bogg." "Bogg?" "No, I'm afraid that must have been behind my time." "Bogg, who is this guy?" "This guy happens to be one of the greatest voyagers who ever lived." "Him?" "Jeffrey!" "No, no." "It's all right." "Look at me." "A pathetic old man in a uniform that needs pressing." "Is this the proper end for a voyager?" "I don't understand." "What happened?" "Well, I retired." "They took my Omni, they took my Guidebook, they handed me my pension fund and they said, "Where do you wanna go?"" "And you picked here?" "Oh, why shouldn't I pick here?" "In 1925, this was a wonderful place to be." "Beautiful city, beautiful women, beautiful stock market." "Stock market?" "You mean you didn't know about..." "What am I, a fortune teller?" "I should know the stock market's gonna crash?" "But your Omni..." "My Omni only went up to 1925." "Oh." "Yeah, "Oh."" "I lose my entire pension, he says, "Oh."" "Look, I'm sorry." "You're sorry." "Everybody's sorry." "You work your whole lifetime for humanity, you sweat and slave, then you get old, and what do they do?" "They throw you away and say, "I'm sorry."" "Bogg, maybe we should just skip dinner and get out of here." "Wonderful!" "It would be wonderful to get out of here." "BOGG:" "Look, Isaac..." "Take me anywhere." "Only, there shouldn't be any people." "I hate crowds and money." "Isaac!" "Money, I'm sick of dealing with it." "Hey, hey, maybe there could be a nice beach." "(STAMMERS) And some fruit to pick to eat." "And some fishing." "I like that." "All right." "All right." "Look, we'll drop you off on an island in the South Pacific." "But after that you're on your own, okay?" "Bless you." "May all your landings be soft." "I thought I told youse guys to get out of here!" "We're gonna, we're gonna." "Gee, you didn't have to do that." "(EXPLOSIONS)" "Careful." "Careful, watch his leg, Jennie." "Yes, ma'am." "Watch it." "Easy, Jennie, easy with him." "There!" "There!" "There!" "Try to make him comfortable." "Try to make him..." "I'm going back to help the others out." "(PLUMMETING)" "You want to know why old voyagers retire?" "This is why old voyagers retire." "Where are we?" "This isn't the South Pacific isle." "Bogg?" "BOGG:" "It's stuck in the automatic mode again." "So why aren't you taking good care of your Omni?" "This is what I get when I ask for sun and sand?" "(BEEPING)" "Bogg, where are we?" "You have to ask?" "If you were old enough to have a brain in your head, you would know that this is a war." "Eastern part of France. 1870." "Got any ideas?" "You are going to ask a 12-year-old boy?" "I think it's the Franco-Prussian War." "You think?" "Why don't you check your Guidebook?" "Bogg, look!" "Somebody needs help." "Come on." "Are you crazy?" "Somebody could get killed out there!" "On the other hand, wait for me!" "Take it easy, easy on the leg." "Anything we can do to help?" "Yeah, just help me and Ms. Barton get them into the trench." "We'll fix the wagon when the shelling stops." "Clara!" "Everybody stay down!" "I have to get her out of the wagon!" "You stay put." "Nobody moves." "Wouldn't think of it." "Clara!" "Get him out." "You got to go now." "Not until they're all out." "(COUGHING)" "Come on." "Come on, help us!" "Are you out of your mind?" "Come on." "I told you to stay back." "Give him to us." "Where's Ms. Barton?" "She won't come until everybody's out." "Can I come help?" "The answer's no." "I'll die if anything happens to her." "Did you say her name was Barton?" "Yes, it's Clara Barton." "That's it!" "What?" "Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross." "There is no American Red Cross." "There will be one." "Here, take him." "You're gonna be okay?" "Yes, I will be all right." "I think I can make it out on my own." "(COUGHING)" "Where's Clara?" "Right behind..." "Clara!" "Clara." "Clara." "(BOMB WHISTLING)" "Clara!" "Clara!" "JENNIE:" "She's not breathing." "That won't work." "Give me a shot." "Hey, Jeff." "I know what I'm doing." "I've never seen this done before." "Are you certain?" "(COUGHING)" "You did it." "You did it." "And you say you learned that technique in a Red Cross program?" "Junior Lifesaving Course." "A lifesaving course." "I never heard of such a thing." "You will." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "Your patients are all onboard and the wagon's fixed, Clara." "Thank you." "I'm sure they'll receive much better care away from the fighting." "Without you around, I doubt it." "Do you have to go?" "We're just passing through." "Right." "We're just passing through." "See you, soldier." "Bye." "Bye." "Coming?" "Bye." "Bye." "Now, can we go to an island?" "My ears are still ringing." "Will you quit complaining?" "Complaining?" "Who's complaining." "Will you two guys grab on?" "(PLUMMETING)" "Where are we, Bogg?" "July 1st, 1946." "On one of the Marshall Islands." "Well, could be a little bigger, but it's better than the Bronx." "Is the light green?" "The light's green." "Is it gonna stay green?" "Kid?" "It's gonna stay green." "I don't trust him." "You should look in the Guidebook, make sure it's gonna stay green." "Look, I told you, it's gonna stay green." "World War II is over." "The United States is in control of these islands." "There's nothing gonna happen for at least 30 years." "Is it too much to ask you should check the Guidebook?" "Look, just forget it." "Did I say something wrong?" "I just wanted to check the Guidebook." "He is the Guidebook." "Jeffrey, come back here." "You mean that now they give you a smart-faced kid instead of a Guidebook?" "I lost mine." "ISAAC:" "You lost it?" "Do you know what they could do to you?" "You lost your Guidebook?" "BOGG:" "I didn't have a choice." "My Omni fouled up and put me in 1982." "I lost my Guidebook, I picked up the kid, now I can't get back, understand?" "No." "Look, the kid and me do okay." "Jeffrey!" "Then you should teach the kid to have more respect." "These kids nowadays." "Does he often run off like this?" "You should put him on a leash." "Jeffrey, come back here or I'm gonna leave without you." "You wouldn't leave me here with him." "Try me." "That's the way to handle a kid." "Say you're sorry." "Sorry?" "Because I wanted to read the Guidebook," "I should be sorry?" "Say you're sorry or you're going back to the city." "The city?" "I'm sorry, already." "I'm sorry." "I take your word for it." "This is a wonderful island." "Now shake." "Now can we get out of here?" "Now." "Well, Isaac, nice meeting you." "It's been my pleasure." "Bon voyage." "Well, the sand's not so bad." "It's a shame there aren't more trees." "Could die from sun poisoning without any shade." "And there's probably sharks." "Water this blue always has sharks." "So who's to complain?" "It's better than the Bronx." "(PLUMMETING)" "Alone at last." "Where are we?" "BOGG:" "China." "August 13, 1275." "You know you could've been a little nicer to him." "Was he nice to me?" "Well, you could've at least treated him with a little respect." "I mean, after all the guy is a..." "I know, I know, a legend." "But I'll tell you, for me, he was a royal pain." "1275." "You got any idea what's wrong?" "The date's familiar." "Well, I'll tell you, kid, sometimes you just got to sit around and wait." "Bogg!" "What?" "Bogg?" "What?" "I think you should see this." "Hi, guys." "Just catching a little shuteye." "Kneel, dog!" "Kneel in the presence of Great Kublai Khan." "By all the laws of my empire, you should be dead by now." "Sitting on my chair, looking directly at me when you speak, your mere presence in the royal garden, all are punishable by death." "And yet, if you can answer one question," "I shall allow you to go free." "This one's all mine." "Where are my emissaries to the Christian Pope?" "Where are the brothers Polo?" "Take it, kid." "Bogg, that's it." "Marco Polo's supposed to be here." "1275's the year he arrived." "Well, don't tell me, tell him." "The Great Khan awaits an answer." "Emperor Khan, are you saying the Polo brothers haven't come yet?" "Nine years ago they set out to bring the teachers from your Christian Pope and holy oil from Jerusalem." "Three years ago, I received word that they were returning and had passed through Kirman." "Then nothing." "It was as if they had disappeared." "Kirman, that's in Persia." "(BEEPING) You seem to be acquainted with the Polos." "Tell me where they are now." "We don't know, Emperor Khan." "Then I sentence you to die." "Oh, but we'd be more than happy to find out." "(BEEPING) Hang on." "(JEFFREY EXCLAIMS)" "JEFFREY:" "I can't figure out which has worse fleas, this horse or this vest." "See anything?" "Maybe over the next rise." "That's what you said eight rises ago." "I know." "Oh, my tuba." "We can't give up." "If Marco Polo doesn't meet Kublai Khan, it'll foul up Europe's whole understanding of China." "All right." "The guy in Kirman said the Polos were only a half day ahead of us." "They got to camp sometime." "What if what's happened to them has already happened?" "If what's happened to them has already happened, the Omni'd be red." "Right?" "Right." "Green." "Great." "(MEN SHOUTING)" "You hear that?" "Sounds like it's..." "Just over the next rise." "Come on." "Come on." "(BLEATING)" "(SOLDIERS CHEERING)" "Come!" "Marco, don't be a fool!" "Give it to him!" "What's the matter with you?" "This is the holy oil." "Marco, we'll trade a few horses and get it back for you." "All the horses in Cathay won't buy you a new head." "(GRUNTING)" "That look like him?" "Give it to me." "Give me." "Looks right to me." "Stay here." "Give me." "Give it here to me." "You can't go in there." "Are you crazy?" "Excuse me." "Hi." "Look, I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding." "Now if you two would just step together and shake hands like gentlemen... (OXEN GRUNTING LOUDLY)" "Is he with you?" "God rest his soul." "That's not exactly what I had in mind." "Couldn't we just talk about it, maybe some other time?" "JEFFREY:" "Look out." "On the other hand, if you want to fight..." "JEFFREY:" "All right!" "Quick learner." "Oh, no." "Come on." "Sure you wouldn't like to talk about this?" "Bogg, the pole!" "The pole!" "Grab the pole and pull." "JEFFREY:" "Bogg?" "BOGG:" "Jeffrey?" "Are you okay?" "Jeffrey, where are you?" "Over here!" "Over where?" "Over here!" "Come on, I think there's a way out, but we've got to find..." "Marco." "Good fight." "Wonderful fight." "Now, we eat." "They call him Oxen, in the plural, because he's bigger than any single ox." "You're a lucky man to have come out in one piece from that fight." "You certainly saved our Marco's head." "How'd it start?" "We were on our way to the Great Kublai Khan in order to deliver some papers he requested from the Pope and a bottle of holy oil from Jerusalem." "Is that what's in the box?" "Yes." "Oxen, the Chief Tartar, admired it, and I refused to give it to him." "So what?" "It's yours." "Not according to Tartar custom." "Here, if you have something which someone openly admires, you give it to him." "Don't let him see the Omni." "The what?" "Nothing." "It's just that I can't believe anyone would make up such a stupid custom." "That's what Marco thought, too." "That's what got him into all this trouble." "Well, I guess I have a lot to learn before I become any kind of a traveler." "The first is to respect the law of the land one travels in." "I'll drink to that." "Is there something wrong with my drink?" "What is that stuff?" "It's ox milk and blood." "Drink it with a smile." "I just got something stuck in my throat." "This drink's wonderful." "Every last drop, Bogg." "More drink for my friend!" "BOGG:" "You can't be serious." "Bottoms up, Bogg." "Somebody give that man a medal." "Dry fog?" "The dry fog is up on us." "Dry fog?" "What's the matter with fog?" "It's not the fog that's the trouble, it's what the fog brings." "What's that?" "The Karaunas!" "(ALL CLAMORING)" "The horses!" "Get the horses!" "They'll come from the hillside." "You there, get the men on the high side!" "Hurry." "(SOLDIERS SHOUTING)" "Bogg?" "Marco!" "Jeffrey!" "This way." "Follow me." "Where's Bogg?" "Bogg!" "SOLDIER:" "The Karaunas!" "Run for your lives!" "Bogg!" "Jeffrey!" "Come!" "But I can't find him!" "Come on, boys, run!" "Jeffrey, come on!" "Bogg!" "Come on." "(MEN SHOUTING)" "There." "This way." "Jeffrey!" "Jeffrey!" "Jeffrey!" "Jeffrey!" "Jeff." "Jeffrey!" "(GROANS)" "Jeff." "Marco!" "(BEEPING)" "Jeffrey!" "Jeff!" "Marco!" "Jeffrey!" "MAN... (ON PA) Blast area clear." "We have blast area clear at one minute and counting." "Fifty-five seconds." "ISAAC:" "You lost him?" "You lost Marco Polo and the young boy in the middle of Persia?" "How could you possibly do that?" "I already told you." "The Karaunas." "The Karaunas." "So why don't you find the Karaunas?" "Because I don't know anything about Karaunas." "I didn't even get a chance to see one." "So why don't you know something about the Karaunas?" "You were sleeping when the subject came up in voyager school?" "Yeah, something like that." "MAN..." "Test area is all clear of personnel." "Forty-five seconds." "Look, it's a long story." "Will you stop sounding like my mother and tell me what you know?" "Well, it's possible I could be persuaded." "I'll persuade you." "I'll persuade you until you can't stand up." "All right." "All right." "Don't stretch the collar." "I just wanted you should take me off this godforsaken little island." "All range observers should have eye protection in place." "Thirty seconds." "There's sharks in the water, nasty little crabs in the sand..." "The Karaunas!" "The Karaunas, right." "The Karaunas is half-Tartar, half-Indian marauders." "They use the fog in that region to conceal their attacks." "What do they do with their captives?" "Well, they kill them or they sell them as slaves." "Where?" "In that same region where you were attacked, possibly Hormuz on the Gulf." "Thanks." "It's been my pleasure." "Hey, you're taking me with you?" "I am not taking you with me." "After all I've done for you?" "After all I've told you?" "You're going to leave me on this miserable desert island with a bunch of nuclears?" "Nuclears?" "Yeah." "The sign there." "That's what they're testing." "Hey." "MAN... 24, 23, 22, 21..." "I don't even know what a nuclear looks like." "I've been hunting all over the island trying to find one to talk to." "And you'd think they'd have the common decency..." "Nuclear testing?" "...to give a simple description." "Bikini Atoll." "MAN... 2, 1." "(EXPLOSION)" "And what was that?" "That was a nuclear." "And that nuclear, that's what that boy of yours said was in a green light zone?" "That boy of mine is named Jeffrey and it was a green zone." "That was supposed to happen." "It's just that I didn't put you on the right island." "And where do you think you're going?" "AUCTIONEER:" "Do I hear nine?" "To find Jeff and Marco." "You want to come along, you keep your mouth shut." "How do you expect to find him if you don't even know what a Karauna..." "I am as quiet as Grant in his tomb." "What are my bid for this hand maiden?" "I want 10 pieces of gold." "Ten." "Do I hear 11?" "Eleven pieces of gold." "Twelve." "MARCO:" "No!" "You can't have it!" "Please, let the boy keep it." "It's only oil, for the blisters on his feet." "If this is oil for his feet, why did he conceal it from us?" "My mother in Venice gave it to me." "Your mother, huh?" "ALL:" "No!" "We'll take it to the auctioneer." "Let him study it." "Perhaps this is worth more than all these men and boy combined." "And so ends the travels of the brothers Polo and young Marco." "Even if we live, without the oil we can't show our faces to the Khan." "I'm sorry, Uncle, Father." "No, there's nothing you could've done." "Thinking about your friend?" "Oh, this is all messed up." "You're never going to make your journey." "And I'm never gonna see Bogg." "He wasn't captured with the others." "Perhaps he got away." "He would've been here by now." "Maybe he's trying." "A beautiful Venetian glass platter that just came in today." "The color, the clarity." "There can't be a more beautiful example in Hormuz." "Excuse me, I must do an appraisal." "Will you stop that?" "That's a Karauna." "Excellent." "Genuine indeed." "That's it." "Surely one of a kind." "That's the holy oil." "AUCTIONEER:" "Now, back to our Venetian glass." "So where are we going now?" "If he's got the holy oil, he's also got Marco and Jeff." "AUCTIONEER:" "There, I have a bid for two." "Who will give me three?" "You know the old coin trick gambit?" "Know it?" "I invented it." "You got a coin?" "(SIGHING) No, I'm flat broke." "Here, use the Omni." "They're making these things out of brass now?" "What is the world coming to?" "In my day, they were solid gold." "BOGG: (WHISPERS) Will you come on?" "Hello, there." "Interested in a little game of chance?" "This trinket against that scabbard?" "Look at this, look how it blinks." "(BEEPING)" "Yeah." "Double or nothing?" "Triple?" "I thought you invented that game." "Invented it, yes." "Did I say I was any good at it?" "Bogg!" "Thank God!" "How did you get away?" "No time to talk, come on." "I thought I lost you there." "What's he doing here?" "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here." "Let's go." "Come on." "Phineas, help, the keys!" "Are you hurt?" "The keys!" "The Omni rolled into the cell." "Bat's breath." "In the cells!" "Someone's broken in!" "I can't find the right key." "ISAAC:" "I think I twisted my ankle." "CHIEF:" "Are you thinking of leaving?" "(BEEPING)" "This is very interesting, very nice." "See?" "Little red lamp here." "How does it do this?" "It comes on and off with a bell." "What is it?" "I don't understand." "A time machine." "A time machine." "A time machine." "Wonderful." "This should bring good price, no?" "Very good price." "A time machine." "A time machine." "You always make jokes when you are in trouble?" "It helps." "I just hope you have a sense of humor when you go in front of the voyager board." "You know what they do for a lost Omni?" "(GROANS) My ankle." "No one needs such pain." "What no one needs is you." "BOGG:" "Jeffrey!" "It wasn't Bogg's fault." "It was your fault." "You're the one who messed it up." "You're the one who lost the Omni." "Hey, hey, hey, cool down, Jeff." "No!" "He's a stupid old man!" "Everything was going fine until he blew it." "He blew it for everyone!" "Look, Jeff, I wouldn't have been able to find you if it weren't for Isaac." "Don't defend me." "Jeffrey's right." "I'm a worthless old man." "Somebody to get in the way." "Wild Man Wolfstein." "He's a stranger to me." "Somebody who lived a long, long time ago." "On your feet." "Manacles on the men and the older boy." "We're taking you to the auction block." "Two objects for which there is no equal in this part of the world." "The first is believed to be, the precious Christian holy oil from Jerusalem." "While it may not have religious meaning to you, I assure you it is valuable." "The second is a talisman of extraordinary mystery and power, reputed to have been made by a tribe of sorcerers on a faraway isle." "He's close." "Maybe if they sell us together, we can get it back." "They are not gonna sell us together." "AUCTIONEER:" "This one will go for a price." "I will not sell the objects now." "I will give you time to look them over." "I am sure you will bid for what they are worth." "And now the slaves!" "Bogg!" "Fine young boy, soon to be a strapping young man." "Who will give me two gold pieces?" "Bogg?" "I'll find you, Jeffrey." "Wherever you are, I will find you." "Now that I have two, I want three." "Three pieces of gold for this boy." "Three gold pieces, here." "This should never have happened." "I want four." "Four pieces." "Four." "AUCTIONEER:" "Five." "Five pieces." "MAN 1:" "Here's five gold pieces." "I hear five pieces." "MAN 2:" "Six pieces." "Six." "I want... (YELLS)" "Jeffrey!" "The wagon!" "Go get the wagon!" "(ALL CLAMORING)" "Get him!" "Oxen." "(JEFFREY YELLS)" "Where's Isaac?" "Isaac." "Go on!" "Leave me!" "No, don't stop, they'll catch us all." "He's right, boy." "Go!" "No!" "Do what the kid says." "Are you crazy?" "Don't stop!" "Get as close to him as you can!" "BOGG:" "Isaac." "All right!" "(DINGS)" "Look!" "Now it's green." "MAFFEO:" "That's a wonderful trinket." "Unlike anything I've ever seen." "Are you thinking what I am?" "That the Great Khan would like this, Father?" "Marco, now you are thinking like a Polo." "All right, Bogg, how much?" "Sorry, Nicolo." "We can offer you riches beyond your wildest dreams." "At least that's what Father and Uncle tell me." "I don't think it's for sale, Marco." "Jeff?" "Isaac?" "Thank you all." "You've made this a memorable trip." "I think you'll have plenty of things to remember before it's through." "Goodbye." "(DINGS)" "ISAAC:" "Green light." "That always gave me a special kind of feeling." "It should." "You're the one who got it that way." "Well, I had some help." "You know, sometimes when you're old, you forget what it was like to be young." "You start to think that the kids don't know anything, that you have to be old to have any wisdom." "Me, from now on," "I listen to the young ones." "Even Isaac Wolfstein has got something to learn." "Me, too." "Just because someone's old, it doesn't mean they're washed up." "That applies to me?" "You've got plenty of Wild Man still left in you." "Okay, Isaac, name your place." "You've earned it." "Anywhere I want?" "Anywhere." "How about a place by the sea?" "A city, a humble job, but steady, a decent subway." "How about home?" "It's 5:00 already." "I've still got half my streets to do." "Phineas." "Jeffrey." "It's great to meet you, Isaac." "Yeah." "You should come back sometime for an egg cream." "I know a great place near Times Square." "You got it, Wild Man." "You know, I'm gonna miss him." "BOGG:" "Me, too." "What's an egg cream?" "It's a drink." "Milk, soda water, chocolate syrup." "No egg?" "No egg." "Well, then why do they call it an egg cream?" "You got me." "Where you going?" "To go have dinner with Einstein." "Oh, no, you don't." "We got things to do." "Yeah, like eat." "Jeffrey!" "Forget it, Bogg." "I've had enough of your beef jerky." "Hey, come back here." "No way, José." "Jeffrey!" "Jeffrey!" "JEFFREY..." "If you wanna learn more about the travels of Marco Polo or Albert Einstein, take a voyage down to your public library." "It's all in books!" "People all over the world are counting on me to make this flight." "Mrs. Lindbergh, how does it feel knowing this may be the last time you'll see your son alive?" "Bogg, he's not going to make it." "Look out!" "You're really Little John and Friar Tuck?" "That's right." "JEFFREY..." "And there really is a Robin Hood?" "Halt!" "Ready?" "Quick, over there!" "Fire!" "BOGG..." "We travel through time to help history along, give it a push where it's needed." "Bogg!" "BOGG..." "When the Omni's red, it means history's wrong." "Our job's to get everything back on track." "Green light, kid!" "We did it!" "(COUGHING)" "(COUGHING)" "(WIND WHISTLING)" "Bat's breath!" "Spilled my guava whip." "What are you laughing about?" "And what's the big idea Omniing us out of Hawaii?" "I wasn't ready to leave." "Our vacation was over." "In case you didn't notice," "I was having a very intimate conversation with a girl in a grass skirt." "I noticed." "BOGG:" "Well, did you also notice how beautiful she was, how sweet, how innocent..." "How married." "Married?" "Married." "To a tribal chiefsman." "She was wife number 18." "Eighteen!" "That doesn't seem fair." "A guy with 18 wives." "He also had a couple of hundred warriors who were giving you the evil eye." "Yeah, they were looking at me kind of funny, huh?" "JEFFREY:" "Like the way they look just before they attack?" "BOGG:" "Yeah, well..." "England, 1194." "(OMNI BEEPING)" "Go away, or my next arrow will find your heart." "This guy has a funny way of saying hello." "MAN:" "Leave!" "Go on!" "We better get out of here, Bogg." "Go!" "Old guy looks like he needs some help." "Then why did he shoot at us?" "He's probably afraid." "Hey, it's okay." "We just want to help." "I don't want your help." "Go!" "Hey, kid." "Yeah, Bogg?" "This old guy's a real good shot." "You still think he needs us?" "Yeah, for target practice." "Let's get out of here." "(COUGHING)" "Bogg, we've been walking for hours." "Do you have any idea what we're supposed to be doing?" "You're asking me?" "This is great." "We're stuck in the middle of some forest with a red Omni, and don't have any idea what we're doing." "Well, something somewhere in England is wrong." "All we can do is find it." "Yeah, well, we better find it soon." "My feet didn't come with a warranty." "You know, Bogg, the Omni dropped us near that old man." "Maybe he was important." "And did you want to stick around and find out?" "You there, make way for a better man." "We were on this bridge first." "Yeah, you should step back." "You'll be the one stepping back." "Or I'll tan your hide until it's as many colors as a beggar's cloak." "Hey, don't talk to my kid that way." "Why don't you do something about it?" "Or would you be a coward?" "Just push him off, John, and be done with it." "We haven't eaten yet." "No, good Friar." "I think this lad's ripe for a contest of staffs." "Lend him yours." "As you wish." "But do hurry, my stomach's beginning to speak to me in strange tongues." "Listen, Goliath, why don't you just step back." "I don't want to fight you." "You don't have a choice." "Okay, if that's the way you want it." "Step back, kid, I gotta teach this guy not to mess with a voyager." "Bogg, be careful." "He looks like an ape in a man's suit." "Come on, Bogg!" "You can beat this guy!" "Not bad, sir." "You're a fighter." "Not as good a one as me." "We'll see about that." "Well, he's a dancer, John." "Now let's find out if he's a swimmer." "Come on, he's a chump!" "That's it!" "Come on, get him!" "Again!" "Look out!" "(EXCLAIMS)" "(JOHN LAUGHING)" "(SIGHS) Good move." "JEFFREY:" "Enjoy your bath?" "It's about time you had one." "You really taught him not to mess with a voyager." "JOHN:" "Good fight." "I respect any man who can swing a staff like that." "Yes, indeed." "We could have used a man like you." "My friends call me Little John." "And this is Friar Tuck." "I'm Phineas Bogg." "Jeffrey Jones." "You're really Little John and Friar Tuck?" "That's right." "And this is Sherwood Forest?" "Of course." "And there really is a Robin Hood?" "There used to be." "Bogg, my dad told me that Robin Hood was just a myth." "He said if the legends were true at all, they were based on some guy named Robert Hood." "Right." "Robin's real name was Robert." "He changed it when he became an outlaw." "Wasn't he the guy that robbed from the rich and gave to the poor?" "Before he ran out on us." "Now, John, don't be so hard." "Robin was one time the hero of all England." "Too much ale has made you soft, Friar Tuck!" "Well, if your Robin's anything like the Robin I've heard about, he couldn't have done anything that bad." "He ran out in the middle of an attack from Prince John's men." "We beat them off, but after it was over, Robin was gone." "Doesn't sound like the Robin I've heard about, either." "When he left, he took our hearts with him." "No one had the desire to go on fighting Prince John or his sheriff." "Now they have a free and evil hand." "JOHN:" "England's no longer a fit place to live." "We're on our way to France." "And if you have any desire to live, you'll go as well." "Couldn't Robin have been killed or captured by Prince John?" "JOHN:" "We would have heard." "Everyone knew of Robin." "And now they hate him." "Not I. And not you, I think." "He was the bravest man we ever met." "No to say, an archer without peer." "Well, I don't know about that." "We met an old man in the woods today that could give him a run for his money." "The guy could barely stand up but he shot an arrow straighter than I've ever seen." "An old man, you say?" "Well, we didn't see him up close." "He might have just been weak, or wounded." "Was his bow red in color?" "I was paying more attention to his arrows than his bow, to tell the truth, but it looked kind of red." "Made out of cherrywood, maybe." "Could you take us to this man?" "Sure." "But when we get close, be careful." "This guy doesn't like visitors." "Follow me." "JOHN:" "Robin!" "He's burning up with fever." "FRIAR TUCK:" "And his face is as white as a ghost." "My friend." "My God, Robin, why did you leave us?" "I was wounded." "Men should not see their leader in a state of weakness, so I came here to die alone." "FRIAR TUCK:" "Headstrong even in death, eh, Robin?" "ROBIN:" "Where are my men now?" "JOHN:" "Your men are gone, Robin." "Is that true, John?" "It's true." "All your men have disbanded." "Not to mention Lady Marian." "Quiet, Tuck!" "Yeah, Tuck, easy." "Robin's not well." "What about Lady Marian?" "Her heart grew so sad that when Prince John said that she must marry the Sheriff of Nottingham, she was too weak to fight." "The ceremony takes place in four days." "My Marian and the Sheriff?" "So you just lie there and die." "Good Tuck." "Even if I had to crawl, I wouldn't allow Marian to be forced into marriage." "FRIAR TUCK:" "That's the spirit, Robin." "Here, let me take a look at that wound." "BOGG:" "I'll get something cool for his head." "We should take him to a bleeder." "I've already been bled." "Well, no wonder you're so weak." "What did they do, cut you and use those wormy things to suck your blood out?" "Well, they used the leeches." "JEFFREY:" "Stupidest thing I ever heard of." "My mom used to give me soup to help build my strength." "Do you have any soup?" "Soup?" "BOGG:" "Listen to the kid, he knows what he's doing." "I can shoot some game." "Make a venison broth." "Not to mention a nice roast." "Oh, yuck!" "This is all infected." "Well, what do you think?" "Is he gonna make it?" "I'll know better when I clean the wound out." "I need alcohol." "Well, I have some ale." "No!" "It'll kill the germs." "Germs?" "They're like little creatures that cause infections." "JEFFREY:" "I need clean bandages." "Boil some water and put the bandages in them." "But the water is unclean." "Boiling water kills germs, too." "Do as the boy says." "Got to bring down your fever." "These germ things must be nasty creatures." "I don't think I've ever seen one." "But if I do," "I'll put an arrow right through its heart." "How are you feeling, Robin?" "Better, thanks to Jeffrey." "I want you and Friar Tuck to do me a favor." "Anything, Robin." "Get my men back together again." "Prince John's tyranny has run free long enough." "JOHN:" "We'll try, but it won't be easy." "Most of your men think you've deserted them." "They're scattered all over England." "But Marian will be married in four days." "We can attempt a rescue." "Three men and a boy?" "You wouldn't get past the castle gates." "Robin, your men won't return until they know you're back fighting again." "Then I'll do just that." "(GROANING)" "Forget it, Robin." "You can't get up." "Your fever will only come back." "But Marian..." "You can't do Marian or England any good if you're dead." "You've got to rest a few more days." "In a few days I can help England, but it'll be too late for my Marian." "Not if I take on Prince John in your place." "JOHN:" "What do you mean?" "Well, if I dress like Robin, fight like Robin and use his red bow, maybe people will think that I am Robin Hood." "It might work." "ROBIN:" "Maybe." "At least until I get my strength back." "And the word will spread that I'm back and the men will return." "It's worth a try." "Yes!" "To the new Robin of Sherwood Forest." "SHERIFF:" "Are you enjoying our little ride in the country, Lady Marian?" "MARIAN:" "As much as I would enjoy eating live lizards." "SHERIFF:" "My dear, we'll be sharing more times like this after we're married." "MARIAN:" "Then I'll be too sick to do anything." "SHERIFF:" "Of all my duties as Sheriff of Nottingham," "I think I enjoy collecting taxes the best." "I don't remember you doing much of that when Robin was around." "SHERIFF:" "Yes." "The woods are much safer since he deserted his people." "And much sadder, too." "Wait!" "Wait." "Please stop." "My leg, it's broken." "We wait for no one." "The boy is hurt!" "It's Robin!" "Guards, get us out of here." "FRIAR TUCK:" "Get them, Little John." "(GROANING)" "Save her, Phineas." "Don't worry." "I'll get her." "I'm coming with you, Bogg." "No way!" "I got the horse." "Smart kids give me a pain." "Good luck." "SHERIFF:" "Guards, attack!" "It's Robin Hood!" "After him!" "MAN:" "Stop!" "Halt!" "(GROAN)" "Quick, over there!" "Bogg, I think it's Omni time." "I think you're right." "(BEEPING)" "Shoot them!" "Don't let them get away." "(OMNI BEEPING)" "Aim!" "Fire!" "Where'd they go?" "REPORTER:" "Hey, fellows, it's Bixby." "Mr. Bixby." "How does it feel to be backing a dangerous flight..." "Relax, boys, relax." "Mrs. Lindbergh, how does it feel knowing this may be the last time you'll see your son alive?" "Did you know what a dangerous trip your son was taking?" "Did you know a lot of experienced fliers have died trying to cross the Atlantic." "Doesn't that worry you, Mrs. Lindbergh?" "Come on, how about a nice mother-son embrace." "JEFFREY:" "That was great!" "All that empty space and you land us right in the middle of a mud puddle." "BOGG:" "I don't have any control over the landing." "You know that." "You didn't break Robin's bow, did you?" "No." "But the Omni got quite a dunking." "Where are we?" "Just a second." "What's the day?" "I'll tell you as soon as I clean this thing off." "I wonder what's wrong." "I wonder what the cure is for a kid that asks too many questions." "Bogg, look." "Mrs. Lindbergh, did you come here to talk your son out of making this flight?" "No!" "Please, please just leave me alone." "I don't need any Omni to tell me that pushing a lady around is wrong." "MRS. LINDBERGH:" "Leave, Charles, please." "MAN:" "Hey, that's enough, fellows." "Get back now." "(MRS. LINDBERGH CRYING)" "Bon voyage." "Let go of the lady's arm." "Get out of here." "I said let go of her arm." "Why, you stupid..." "Ok, buster, now you did it." "These hands are licensed weapons on five continents." "Bogg, that move never works." "Yeah, well, that move always does." "Bixby, you see that Mother gets to the train all right?" "BIXBY:" "Of course." "Charles, I just talked to the other bankers on the phone, and they're very disturbed..." "We'll talk about that later!" "The storms haven't changed in a week." "Bixby, get her out of here!" "Sorry about that, you guys." "I didn't mean to hurt anybody." "Look at these guys, costumed bodyguards." "He says he doesn't like publicity." "Does your mother know what a dangerous line of work you're in?" "Let's have a touching embrace?" "Why don't you get a picture of this, send it off to your editors." "That's one for you, Lindy." "Lindbergh's revenge, huh, guys?" "I don't know who hired you to do that for me, but I'm grateful." "Are you really Charles Lindbergh?" "Yeah, I'm afraid so." "I bet you guys could use something hot to drink." "I'd rather have some dry clothes, really." "Come on, let's go inside, see what we can do for you." "(THUNDER RUMBLING)" "Hot chocolate okay?" "Sure." "Thanks." "JEFFREY:" "Bogg!" "Do you know where we are?" "I'll check the Omni." "Don't bother." "New York, 1927." "Roosevelt Field." "How do you know?" "That's how I know!" "BOGG:" "Nice little plane." "Nice little plane, huh?" "Yeah." "Bogg, that's the Spirit of St. Louis." "That's only the most famous airplane in all of history." "Oh." "Well, maybe something's wrong with it." "Red light?" "Red light." "Thanks to you guys, my mother was able to get away from this circus." "Those reporters don't know how they might scare somebody with their stupid questions." "Anything for a story." "And if there isn't a story, they just go ahead and make one up anyway." "LANE:" "Look, Slim, you better get used to reporters, they're never going to let you alone." "BLYTHE:" "Not as long as you're on the ground, anyway." "Well, that's another good reason" "I get off the ground, I guess." "These are the guys that take good care of me and the airplane." "This is Lane, Blythe." "I'd like you to meet..." "Don't tell me." "Peter Pan and Tinkerbell." "CHARLES:" "Knock it off." "These guys just helped me out of a real mess out there." "I'm Phineas Bogg." "This is Jeffrey Jones." "Hi." "Hi." "So, there's nothing wrong with the plane?" "No." "Now we're just trying to finish her up before we get the okay to take off." "Listen, there's some dry clothes over there." "I can't guarantee the fit." "And you can stow your gear there, too, if you like." "Thanks." "MAN ON RADIO..." "And that was Laura Sherman you heard, doing My Blue Heaven." "But the heavens above New York are far from blue." "The gray skies and stormy weather are supposed to stay with us until tomorrow." "Listen, fellows, the weather's going to break." "I know it is." "It's going to happen." "And soon." "(TELEPHONE RINGING)" "Hello." "Yeah, hi, Doc." "He's right." "It's gonna break." "Doesn't seem so sure." "Yeah, but I'm sure." "Look." "May 19th." "So?" "So, May 20th is the day that Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic." "The first solo flight in history." "He's leaving tomorrow morning." "Well, everything seems to be on schedule." "Yeah." "Then why's the Omni red?" "I don't know." "Goodbye, Doc." "Hey, let's knock off for the day." "Yeah, we can finish in the morning." "But you gotta finish up tonight." "Mr. Lindbergh, you're gonna leave for France at 7:00 a.m. Tomorrow morning." "Look, kid, this weather is not gonna clear up for quite a while yet." "But it'll be clear by morning." "Can't you call and check?" "That was Doc Kimball who just called." "He said he'd call if the forecast changed." "So the weather's changing?" "Yeah, sure." "Getting worse." "Rain and more rain." "I can't stand this waiting around." "I feel like I'm never gonna get off the ground." "CHARLES:" "I give up!" "Bogg, he can't give up." "You do something." "All right, I'll take care of him." "You better get these two jokers back to work if this plane's gonna be ready in the morning." "Mr. Lindbergh?" "Mr. Lindbergh." "Hey, wait, you can't back out now." "You know, it's as if he knew for sure that the weather was going to clear." "Well, maybe you should listen to him." "I've been holed up in a hangar for a week, waiting for the weather to break." "I've been waiting and waiting." "Gives a man too much time to think." "I have a feeling your waiting's just about over." "You sound as sure as Jeffrey." "He's not only sure about the weather." "He's also sure you're gonna be the first man to fly the Atlantic from New York to Paris." "Well, somebody is going to fly that ocean someday." "I'm going to show the world that commercial aviation will work." "That airplanes can do more than deliver mail, and do stunts at air shows." "Here he is!" "Lindy." "His names Lindbergh." "Mr. Lindbergh." "Oh." "Mr. Lindbergh, what's your reaction to this latest delay?" "You mean the weather?" "Come on, Lindbergh, just tell us what made you decide to back out of your flight?" "Nobody's backed out of anything." "What are you talking about?" "Word's out your flight's been scrubbed." "(WIND HOWLING)" "You can't let him do this." "Come on, kid, we can't stop him." "But if he locks it up, the plane won't be ready in time." "I think I know what's wrong." "Wrong?" "Bogg, it's terrible." "You gotta make him stop." "BOGG:" "Hey, there's Bixby." "Bixby, what's going on?" "I just talked to the other backers." "We all agree." "We're taking back possession of the Spirit." "The flight's off." "Why are you doing this?" "We just had some bad news." "Nungesser and Coli, the French fliers, have disappeared over the Atlantic." "Oh, no!" "Too many men have already lost their lives trying to cross that ocean." "I'm not going to help finance your death." "Well, don't you think that should be his choice?" "Mr. Lindbergh's enthusiasm has blinded him to the dangers." "Oh, now, we always knew it would be dangerous." "Now with storms not only over New York but Europe, it'd be suicidal." "Bogg, it was Lindbergh's weatherman who told him that the storms were clearing all across the Atlantic." "Is that the Doc Kimball they were talking about?" "I think so." "Mr. Bixby, if Doc Kimball says the weather's safe here and in France, then will you give your okay?" "I've already talked to Doc." "He said he can't be sure of anything at this point." "Nobody can predict when this weather will pass." "Especially all the way over in Europe." "But I've flown through storms plenty of times." "No." "We're not taking off until Doc gives the okay." "Maybe later in the day tomorrow." "Bixby, you know there are two fliers waiting to get off the ground." "By then they could have taken off already." "Until Doc Kimball says there's good weather from New York to Paris," "no flight." "If I wait for good weather all the way to Europe," "I could be the last one to leave." "I'm sorry, Slim." "BLYTHE:" "I'm glad we decided to drive into New York." "Have some dinner, take in a play." "Not just any play." "Rio Rita, and from backstage." "Yeah." "Helps to have friends in the theater." "Yes, it ought to be great fun." "You know, you ought to be back in the hangar getting some sleep." "I can sleep in tomorrow morning." "But you're gonna be taking off in less than 12 hours." "Jeffrey." "Bogg, I'm absolutely sure." "You heard Bixby." "No takeoff till he hears from Doc Kimball about the weather for sure." "Maybe we can call Doc Kimball." "We don't need to call Doc Kimball for a weather report." "He'd call us or Bixby if the forecast changed." "We're gonna be late for the play." "The way the forecasts have been..." "No." "Jeffrey, you and I need to learn when to give up." "But we can't give up!" "Bogg, please?" "You've got nothing to lose in checking." "Lane, pull up there by the diner, would you?" "Look, Slim, you're gonna disregard the weather reports, your friends, your backers, and listen to a kid?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I know it's late." "I know it looks pretty bad out there." "Whoa!" "Doc, slow down, what is it?" "The weather's clearing out of France?" "(THUNDER RUMBLING)" "What about over here?" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "The storm's finally breaking!" "The low-pressure area over Newfoundland is receding and a big high is pushing in behind it all across the North Atlantic." "Highs, lows?" "What's it all mean, Doc?" "It means that the fog is lifting over most reporting stations between New York and Newfoundland." "But it's still bad out there." "No, if there's a low ceiling over New York, that's all right, I'll be flying right over that." "What about the storms off the French coast?" "It will be a sunny day." "Just perfect for a stroll along the Seine." "Okay, Lindbergh, you can take off tomorrow sometime." "It's gotta be first thing in the morning." "I've got to cross Ireland before nightfall, otherwise I can't be sure I'm on the right course." "But you need rest." "You can't fly over 30 hours without a good night's sleep." "There's no time." "We've got to work all night on the plane." "Charles, there's something I've got to tell you." "Later." "We barely have enough time as it is." "It's going to take hours just to load the gasoline." "But that's what we have to talk about." "Hey, kid." "You did good, convincing Lindbergh to call the Doc that one last time." "Green light?" "BOGG:" "Omni is flashing red." "I can't think of anything else that could be wrong." "CHARLES:" "You canceled the gasoline delivery?" "I didn't cancel it." "I've got the receipt right here." "It's all paid for." "I just postponed delivery." "CHARLES:" "Postponed it for how long?" "Tomorrow sometime." "It's all loaded and ready to go." "So, first thing in the morning." "Tomorrow morning's too late!" "Can't you tell the gasoline company to rush the delivery right over?" "It's way past closing." "There's no one there this time of night." "Do you have a receipt?" "Yes." "Well, then the gasoline is really yours, right?" "That's right." "Well, if they can't deliver it," "I'll go over and pick it up." "There's the address." "Be careful." "They got a guard dog." "No problem." "Bogg, wait." "Remember, animals can smell fear." "Jeffrey, in case you haven't noticed," "I happen to have a way with women, children and animals." "I give you two out of three." "Don't worry, I'll have that pooch eating right out of my hand." "(SNARLING)" "Let go." "I've dealt with your kind before, you know." "I've always lost." "That a boy." "Good dog." "Now, I know what you're thinking." "A stranger, me, climbs over your fence here and drops, without warning, and into your territory." "It looks kind of bad, huh?" "Well, I'm not a thief." "Honest." "In fact, I have a receipt." "(BARKING)" "Brought this with me." "See, paid in full." "(NERVOUS LAUGHTER)" "You know any tricks?" "Can you roll over?" "Okay." "I don't know any, either." "Okay, I've tried to reason with you." "But your mind's made up." "So I guess I'll just have to make my move." "You know," "I've always had a soft place in my heart for you guys in the animal kingdom." "In fact, you know the story about Androcles and the Lion?" "Well, who do you think really pulled the thorn out of the lion's paw?" "Androcles?" "Uh-uh." "Me." "And Man o' War, the race horse." "Well, I once saved his tail." "And there was this calf once..." "Uh-oh." "Sorry, dog." "I hope you don't lose your job." "(CRASHING)" "He's been gone for over an hour." "Slim, if he doesn't get here soon, we're just gonna have to give it up." "He'll be here!" "Even if he was here, it would be tough to load all 450 gallons of that fuel." "If Bogg can get the fuel this far," "I guarantee you guys will find a way to load it up." "What's this?" "A change of clothes." "You can't land in France looking like a slob." "I'm not looking to win best-dressed." "My flight suit will be fine." "No, these are too heavy." "I'm going to wear the ones I've got." "Slim, you gotta have sturdy boots." "I'm flying to Paris." "I'm not walking." "I told you guys, no parachute." "It's too heavy." "Yeah, well, this just might save that stubborn neck of yours." "It weighs about 20 pounds." "I'd rather have 20 pounds of fuel." "Okay, let's see." "A quart of water and five sandwiches." "Is that all you're taking to eat?" "Well, if I get to Paris I won't need any more." "And if I don't make it to Paris," "I won't need any more either." "He'll make it." "BOGG:" "Hi!" "What's everybody standing around for?" "I got a truck full of gas outside that needs unloading." "Bogg, you did it!" "Piece of cake." "But how did you do it?" "Who cares how he did it." "Now, come on, Bixby." "You're gonna help me unload this fuel." "I'm gonna get these banker's hands dirty before I take off for France." "Piece of cake, huh?" "Well, they're calling it a solo flight, but I wouldn't even make it without the help of all of you guys." "Good luck to you." "A flier doesn't need luck with weather charts as good as yours, Doc." "Goodbye, Slim." "Not goodbye." "You, and all my other friends from St. Louis, you're going with me." "Mr. Bogg." "If you hadn't gotten that gasoline, the Spirit of St. Louis wouldn't be taking off right now." "It's okay." "It's my pleasure." "Your receipt." "There may be a few extra charges there." "But the gas was paid for." "Yeah." "But the fence wasn't." "Well, Jeff, almost time." "If you hadn't talked me into checking with Doc," "I wouldn't be making this flight at all." "What's wrong?" "It's just that this is a real dangerous flight." "I guess I'm scared." "Me, too." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "But I can't let that stop me." "Sometimes you just gotta fight through being scared and do what's got to be done." "I was scared a lot of the time when I was flying the mail." "I felt like turning back, giving up." "I mean, after all, what could be so important about a five-pound mail pouch." "Then you start to think about the folks waiting for that mail." "Parents waiting for a letter from their kids." "Farmer waiting for word from the bank." "And you realize people you never met, people you're never gonna meet, they're counting on you." "So you just got to buckle down, and..." "Bite the bullet." "That's it." "Slim!" "Time to go." "Okay!" "Okay, guys!" "Lets roll her out!" "Be careful." "Don't worry about me." "I'm just gonna follow the arrow pointing east all the way to France." "I can't miss." "Let's go." "BLYTHE:" "I don't know, Lane." "That plane is awful heavy with fuel." "You think he'll get off the ground okay?" "LANE:" "He'll make it." "Guess there's no turning back now, Bogg." "JEFFREY:" "Bogg, the plane's too heavy." "He's not going fast enough." "Bogg, he's not gonna make it." "No, he'll make it." "Up!" "Up!" "We'll make it." "BOGG:" "He's off the ground." "Now all he has to do is make it over those wires and trees." "He made it!" "He'll make it." "I knew it all along." "Bogg, can we go watch him land?" "England." "No, he landed in France." "I know." "Gay Paris is going to have to wait." "Robin Hood needs us back in Merry Old England." "(WIND WHISTLING)" "Hope Lindbergh had a softer landing." "Me, too." "Hey, Bogg, look." "There's Robin." "Robin!" "How are you?" "Very fit, thanks to you." "What happened?" "Well, we got away." "It just took us a little while to get back." "Well, you're a pleasant sight." "Two less people I have to worry about." "And you've got my bow." "Where did you get such strange costumes?" "Believe me, it's a long story." "We're going to rescue Lady Marian." "JOHN:" "There's to be an archery contest today." "It's part of the celebration for the Sheriff's marriage to Marian." "Where are the rest of your men?" "Well, they were supposed to meet us here by the falls." "I had word that they were on their way." "But we can't wait for them any longer." "Marian is to be married today." "But you said yourself that three men didn't have a chance." "Yeah, you're walking right into a trap." "Maybe so." "But it's a chance I have to take." "Then I'm coming with you." "I was hoping you'd say that." "I can use a man like you." "We'll do something about your clothes." "I'm coming, too." "No way." "This is a suicide mission." "JEFFREY:" "But..." "No buts." "Remember what happened last time you didn't listen to me." "I need you to stay behind, Jeffrey." "My men may return while I'm gone." "Someone has to tell them where we are." "Okay, I'll stay." "Good lad." "Be careful." "Don't worry." "Piece of cake." "Sure." "For a suicide mission." "(SIGHS)" "Good shot." "You're starting to get the hang of it." "Do you think I'm good enough to win the contest?" "No." "And I'm not too sure about this plan of yours." "You got a better one?" "A splendid day for a capture." "Don't you think, Your Grace?" "Better day for a hanging." "Clever disguise our Robin Hood has on." "He could have at least used a different bow." "He's making it much too easy for us." "Here comes your lovely bride-to-be." "My dear Marian." "You look beautiful." "I wish I could return the compliment." "If only your angelic face did not house the tongue of a witch." "Touch me again and I'll stick a pin through your hand." "She's warming to me, Your Grace." "SHERIFF:" "A week ago, she would have threatened to cut it off." "She'll change her tune when she sees her true love's neck stretched at the end of a rope." "What do you mean?" "Why, Robin, of course." "We have him." "Robin?" "He's here?" "Take a look at the second archer down there." "PRINCE JOHN:" "Look familiar?" "Perhaps his bow." "Robin!" "Keep your eye on where you're shooting." "You just hit the wrong target." "All this talk of his great archery skill was much exaggerated." "As were his exploits." "He's nothing but a common thief." "If he were only that, you wouldn't be going to so much trouble to kill him." "He's a hero to anyone who cherishes freedom and liberty." "In case you haven't noticed, the guards are starting to move in on us." "I noticed." "But we can't do anything." "Marian is still on the balcony." "If Robin doesn't make his move quick, we're gonna all end up with our necks stretched." "Aye." "I think it's time I dropped in on this little group." "PRINCE JOHN:" "It can't be!" "MARIAN:" "Robin!" "All right!" "Good shot, lad." "I'll help Tuck with the horses." "Robin!" "Marian, go!" "But..." "But this can't be!" "You're supposed to be down there." "(ROBIN LAUGHING)" "(GRUNTING)" "Guards!" "Robin is taking Maid Marian." "Stop him!" "SHERIFF:" "Guards." "Guards!" "Get him!" "Robin, watch out!" "SHERIFF:" "Get him, you fools!" "Come on, men!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "PRINCE JOHN:" "Yes, do something!" "Prince John should recruit some better fighters." "These are terrible." "Why can't they take them?" "Surely they can't overpower our men." "PRINCE JOHN:" "Don't let them escape." "Come on, Robin." "Come, Marian." "JOHN:" "Tuck, bring the horses." "Get them!" "SHERIFF:" "Guards, move in!" "That ought to stop them." "SHERIFF:" "You imbeciles!" "(YELLING)" "MARIAN:" "Robin, the guards are blocking the gate." "JOHN:" "What are we going to do, Robin?" "We've got them." "I'm open to suggestions." "There's no way out." "I think you're right." "We're finished." "Good work, men!" "This is a day I've dreamed of." "Take them prisoner!" "One more step, Your Grace, and my next arrow will find your heart." "It's the kid." "And my men." "They've come back." "Just in the nick of time." "Way to go, Jeffrey." "You wouldn't kill me." "That would be treason." "Treason to you." "Loyalty to King Richard." "Sheriff, do something." "The Sheriff is welcome to join you in your fate!" "I mean what I say!" "Either let Robin and the others go free, or you both will die." "Let them go." "All of them." "Thanks for the hospitality, Your Grace, it's been a wonderful day." "And if you're ever in Sherwood Forest, do come pay us a visit." "I'm sure Friar Tuck would like to give you a dish of nice crow." "Blunderer." "(PLANE ENGINE ROARING)" "(WIND WHISTLING)" "Date?" "May 21, 1927." "France?" "France." "Green light." "Lindbergh should be here by now." "(CROWD CHEERING)" "He did it, Bogg." "That guy's a voyager in his own time." "(CROWD CHEERING)" "Come on." "Hey!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "How are you gonna explain to him how we got here first?" "Right." "Hey, and anyway, there's other great things to see in Paris." "The Moulin Rouge." "The Louvre." "The Folies-Bergère." "The Eiffel Tower." "Kid, I can't wait till you grow up." "JEFFREY..." "If you want to learn more about the legend of Robin Hood or Charles Lindbergh, take a voyage down to your public library." "It's all in books!" "Done by (c) dcd / January 2008"
