what a wise young girl
once said to me many years ago:
:44:04
''If you were marooned
in an ombu tree...
:44:06
and you had some logs
and something to tie them into a raft...
:44:08
you wouldn't just sit there
until you died or something, would you?''
:44:12
That's very good.
For a girl, I mean.
:44:15
I suppose most girls are taught
embroidery and things.
:44:18
But Mother died after Robert was born.
And Father, being a sea captain--
:44:22
When we first met,
I had a different impression.
:44:25
Most girls can be rather silly.
Do you know what I mean?
:44:29
- No, I don't.
- Well, you're different.
:44:33
- How different?
- I don't know how to say it.
:44:37
I had it all worked out last night.
Sounds rather silly now, though.
:44:42
- What does?
- Well, you don't expect things
of a girl, certain things...
:44:46
like climbing mountains, going
through floods, making the most of it.
:44:51
You know what I mean?
:44:55
Don't think I do.
:44:57
Well, I want to say that...
:45:00
I think you've been just fine,
for a girl.
:45:05
Oh, what I really mean is that
if we get out of here alive...
:45:10
and when we're old enough--
:45:12
- John!
- Mary!
:45:17
There's the log
you've needed for your raft.
:45:26
That's it, just what we need.
Perfect!
:45:33
Got it.
:45:40
- Oh!
- Keep out of the way!
:45:47
- It's a tiger!
- No, no, it's a jaguar. Felis onca.
:45:51
Get that beast out of here!
:45:59
It's probably as frightened
of us as we are of it.
