00:00Take that! And that! Ha ha! There's no escaping me now! Feel my wrath! Archimedes Porter, you know-nothing fraud! Ha! Direct hit!
00:24Serves you right, Porter! You and that monkey-man Tarzan may have reduced me to poverty and humiliation, but tonight, I, Samuel T. Philander, shall reclaim the scientific limelight thanks to my ground-breaking discovery!
00:42No! My formula!
00:51Last you, Porter!
00:56Time's up, Philander!
00:58Gentlemen, what, pray tell, brings you by on this lovely, um...
01:04The money you owe! We want it now!
01:06All of it! And if I'm a few pence shy?
01:12It's bath time!
01:17But it's not my fault! It's all the doings of that infernal Porter and his beastly sidekick, Tarzan!
01:24Tarzan? Gentlemen, I can offer you something of much greater value than mere cash.
01:33Behold, Tarzan, the missing link! A savage man-ape from the wilds of Africa!
01:40Who cares? We want our money!
01:42My point exactly! A scientific find of this magnitude will bring with it fame and fortune!
01:48Museums, traveling exhibitions, circus sideshows! He'll be the proverbial cash-cow! Or should I say, cash-ape!
01:56But if you'd rather toss me out of the window, go right ahead! Let someone else get all the glory and riches! Come on, throw me out the window! I don't have all day!
02:04Well, when you put it like that...
02:06Well, smashing! We'll catch the next boat to Africa!
02:09And when we arrive, Tarzan won't know what hit him.
02:31Where are we?
02:33Not sure exactly. Some marvelous untouched corner of the jungle. Oh, look! Another new species!
02:47Shall we name this one after you?
02:49Africanus Tantorius has a nice ring, don't you think?
02:52How about Tantorius Gohomius? This place is creepy!
02:56Nonsense, Tantor! We're perfectly safe here!
02:59What a cornucopia of science! I've lost count of all the various species we've discovered today!
03:06Yeah, me too! So, what say we go home then?
03:10Tantor, you're not still nervous, are you?
03:13Oh, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Yes, extremely! Can we just go, please? Please?
03:23No need to worry, Tantor! If anything were amiss, Professor Archimedes' cube portal would be the first to know!
03:34Now, see here, you...
03:43Oh, dear. It's that rather ferocious rogue!
03:47Papaya!
03:50So, how've you been?
04:02You know, some marvellous advances have been made in the field of elephant psychology.
04:07Perhaps with a good therapist, you might...
04:10Never mind!
04:18Oh, dear me!
04:32Are you all right?
04:34Oh, oh, quite so. Thank you, my boy.
04:47Oh, dear.
05:17Oh, dear.
05:48You know, we'd get there much sooner if you two gentlemen helped.
05:51Is it, our dear? If you want to get there at all, talk less, rope more!
05:56Oh, there's no need to get snippy. I was only suggesting that...
05:58Rope! Now!
06:05It's all right, Tantor. He's gone.
06:08You two need to be more careful about where you go.
06:11It's my fault, Tarzan. I'm afraid I don't know the jungle so well after all.
06:18Oh, now, Professor, don't be so hard on yourself.
06:21You know the jungle as well as anybody.
06:24You... you think so?
06:26Oh, yes! Absolutely!
06:28Oh, well, thank you, Tantor.
06:30Your words mean a great deal to me. A great deal indeed.
06:34Now, let's go home, shall we?
06:36Let's.
06:38Uh, Professor?
06:40Yes, Tarzan? Home is this way.
06:43Oh. Oh, quite right.
06:46So it is. My, uh... my mistake.
06:55Uh, Daddy, don't you think this is a bit extreme?
06:58It's the only way, Janie!
07:00I stick out like a sore thumb in this jungle, a danger to myself and others!
07:05The only cure? Total immersion research!
07:09Couldn't you at least immerse yourself while wearing pants?
07:12Well, it wouldn't be total, then, would it?
07:14No, only by living among the apes as Tarzan did can I shed what remains of my clumsy,
07:21civilised ways and become one with the jungle!
07:34You see, I'm already one with this tree.
07:40Move along, now! We've got an ape-man to catch!
07:43I just need a few more moments to recover, if you don't mind.
07:48Oh! Oh! Um...
07:50Lead the way, Doc. But remember, unless we find this Tarzan soon,
07:53you're going to end up in a museum yourself.
07:56Yeah, stuffed and mounted.
07:58Right. Um, this way.
08:02Allow me.
08:05Ah!
08:07Oh! Hello! Lovely day, isn't it?
08:11Ah!
08:14Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
08:16Ah! Ah!
08:18Oh! Oh! Oh!
08:20Oh! Oh! Oh!
08:31Oh! Oh!
08:33Oh!
08:35Oh, many thanks, Tarzan.
08:37Berry season's here, Daddy, so we're all going picking. Care to join?
08:41It's going to be yummy!
08:43At this crucial stage of my research?
08:45Oh, I couldn't possibly!
08:47You go and enjoy. Don't worry about me.
08:50Oh!
08:59It's all coming together now!
09:04We've been circling around the jungle all day.
09:07I've run out of patience.
09:09Very well, then. Let's take a break here.
09:12No. I mean, I've had enough of you and your schemes.
09:15Ah! Um... Ah! What are you doing?
09:18Saying goodbye. In our own special way.
09:21Wait! You can't! Be reasonable!
09:24Ah!
09:26Porter?
09:28Swing from a vine?
09:31Swing from a vine?
09:33Jungly loincloth?
09:35He doesn't look young and strapping.
09:37Still, it must be Tarzan.
09:39Tarzan? Don't be absurd! That's, uh...
09:42No, it's Tarzan, of course it is. Absolutely.
09:46After him!
09:52Ah!
09:57Ah!
10:00There must be some mistake!
10:09Oh, dear!
10:23We've got you now, Tarzan. Tarzan?
10:26Tarzan is his name. Yes, sir. This is definitely Tarzan.
10:30Mr. Missing Link himself. Tarzan!
10:37Tarzan's confused.
10:39Give me a moment to explain the situation in his native tongue.
10:44Quiet down and play along, Porter. These louts are dangerous.
10:47Don't worry. He's beginning to understand.
10:50Good. Because if we find you're trying to pull something...
10:53We'll toss you both off a cliff.
10:56Off a cliff?
10:58Yes, Tarzan. These men mean business.
11:01You'll do well not to resist them.
11:10Did you hear that? Kind of a menacing, stalking sound.
11:13Would you drop it already?
11:15We're almost to the berry patch and not a rogue elephant in sight.
11:18Face it, Mabaya is long gone.
11:21I guess you're right.
11:26I still don't get it.
11:28This old coot doesn't look one bit like that picture you drew.
11:31Well, I'm a man of science, not the arts.
11:35But you said Tarzan was big and strong.
11:38So was he weak and small.
11:41Yes, I see your point.
11:43Tarzan, you've disappointed me. You've really let yourself go.
11:48All right, Philander.
11:50I demand a thorough explanation for this entire affair.
11:53You demand? This is all your fault.
11:56If it were not for you, I wouldn't be in debt.
11:58I wouldn't be a scientific joke.
12:00So you're going to jolly well act like Tarzan.
12:02I'm not. I'm not.
12:04Something funny's going on here.
12:07The truth is, I'm no good at this jungle man charade.
12:11I suppose I don't belong here at all.
12:15Well, you'd better find a way to make them believe it.
12:17Or we'll both end up as crocodile food.
12:19What are you trying to pull, Philander?
12:21Nothing at all.
12:23Perhaps observing the missing link in his natural habitat
12:26will best convince you of his authenticity.
12:29Just follow my lead, Alvin.
12:31Watch Tarzan move about the jungle
12:34and you'll see how far from human he really is.
12:37For example, Tarzan likes to roll around in the dirt.
12:44I said he likes to roll around in the dirt.
12:54A generous coat of soil keeps him free of fleas and ticks.
12:58Ah, now here's something interesting.
13:01Tarzan just loves fruit.
13:06But he doesn't eat it.
13:08Oh, no. He likes to smear it all over his face.
13:13This is how Tarzan beats the heat.
13:16He learned it from the apes.
13:20Why, you...
13:27Oh, you naughty little monkey man.
13:29And that, of course, was an example of social grooming.
13:33Ah, here we go.
13:35Like the apes, Tarzan's diet consists largely of termites and grub worms
13:41just like this juicy one right here.
13:45There you are, Tarzan, a nice big juicy one.
13:49Bon appétit.
13:52Who loves berries?
13:56Well, shouldn't we wash them first?
13:58I mean, we don't know where they've been.
14:00They've been here, but I know where they're going.
14:04Yum.
14:07Daddy's going to be sorry he missed this.
14:10Delicious.
14:17No, Gondor, run!
14:23Did I tell you? Or did I tell you?
14:25Be careful, Tarzan!
14:40Tarzan, save us!
15:00Are you all right?
15:01I'm fine, but Mabaya's headed back in the direction of...
15:04Daddy!
15:05Are you all right?
15:06I'm fine, but Mabaya's headed back in the direction of...
15:09Daddy!
15:10The family!
15:11I'll warn them. You catch up.
15:13And by throwing the fruit, Tarzan hopes to establish his superiority.
15:20Enough!
15:21You told us that Tarzan could do amazing things, like scurry up into trees,
15:26swing on vines, make flying leaps, and slide along branches.
15:30So get moving.
15:32Ah, yes, well, it's just that, um...
15:35Of course.
15:46That does it.
15:47Right back where we started, eh?
15:58One, two...
16:02Three...
16:10Climbing...
16:13Leaping...
16:15Swinging...
16:17Sliding...
16:18Now that's Tarzan!
16:20So who needs these two?
16:27Grab a hold!
16:29You are entirely to blame for this fiasco, Philander.
16:33Don't you think we would be better served by focusing our efforts on getting out of our predicament?
16:38And it's your fault, Porter.
16:44Don't move a muscle.
16:47How will that help us get back up?
16:49It won't, but at least it won't send us hurtling down.
16:53Daddy! Hang on!
16:59Careful, Janie! It's about to break!
17:06What happened?
17:09Well done, Tantor!
17:12Ow, ow, ow! My nose!
17:15Ready! Pull!
17:17Excellent! Just a little more now!
17:23Ah, terra firma.
17:25Ah, terra firma.
17:27The first good thing that's happened since I brought those two thugs from London, I...
17:35Um, yes. That is... I mean, um...
17:38You led them here to catch Tarzan!
17:40Oh, and what if I did?
17:42It would have worked, too, if Nature Boy hadn't gotten in the way.
17:45I mean, look at you in that outfit!
17:47You don't belong in the jungle! You said it yourself!
17:50It's a wonder I was able to convince them that you were Tarzan at all!
17:53I mean, look at you! Please!
17:56You need a matching handbag to go with that loincloth? It's ridiculous!
18:11Tarzan's behind you!
18:23Tarzan!
18:45N-n-n-nice elephant.
18:47Tarzan!
18:57It appears Mobiah now has other diversions, eh, Tarzan?
19:01But those ruffians won't soon forget about me!
19:04You know, Porter, there's no reason we can't put aside our differences and rehabilitate both our good names.
19:11Perhaps publish a paper or two together, hmm?
19:15Hmm, interesting notion.
19:17Of course there is the small matter of you being a lying, conniving, backstabbing charlatan!
19:25Oh, pffft. That's old news. Each day a new beginning, right?
19:30What do you say?
19:32Well, I say...
19:34CRONK!
19:36NO!
19:43Now you're talking!
19:44I couldn't have said it better myself!
19:46Daddy, there is no question that you belong here in the jungle.
19:49Thank you my dear, I owe it all to my total immersion research.
19:54Speaking of which, if anyone needs me, I'll be deep in the jungle blending in.
20:00Oh daddy, stop!
20:02Sorry, Jane. No stopping me now.
20:04No, that's not what I...
20:06...meant.
20:07Now there's a sight I can live without.
20:09Heh heh.
20:10You know, Jenny, perhaps pants aren't such a bad idea after all.
