:48:01
- But now I feel great.
- Good.

:48:03
- Say, uh, how's
the situation down below?
- I don't know what to think.

:48:09
She stayed up two days and nights
dosing me with quinine...

:48:12
and taking my temperature.
:48:15
She wanted to send for the ship's doctor
when she thought it was serious.

:48:18
Of course I stopped her.
:48:20
Three days we arrive in Honolulu,
then she says she'll disappear.

:48:24
- I'll miss her.
- So will I.

:48:29
I'll miss the tension,
the excitement of it all.

:48:46
We were wondering
what had become of you.

:48:48
- Well, l...
- I hope you haven't been seasick.

:48:51
- Actually, it was quite something else.
- Everybody's been seasick.

:48:55
At least it'll give them
something to talk about at dinner.

:48:58
How sick they were,
what they ate.

:49:00
Daddy says it's surprising
what people will talk about
to make themselves interesting.

:49:21
- I can't do that.
- Oh, yes, you can.

:49:24
I'll show you.
There. Isn't it wonderful?

:49:28
I think dancing
stimulates conversation.

:49:33
Wasn't it Aristotle who used to walk
and lecture around the Lyceum
and talk of the soul?

:49:39
Though Daddy says he never had
a clear idea of what the soul is.

:49:43
But Daddy has.
He says the soul is desire.

:49:47
And that the whole of life is desire.
:49:50
I think it's a wonderful idea.
:49:52
Well, if you can't shimmy,
we'll just dance ordinary.
