Good morning, Mark. Good morning, Tatooine.

Smile, everyone, smile.

He looks to me like a college professor.

You could say that, too, yes.

Actually, Dr. Paul Todd is a paleontologist from an eastern

A paleontologist?

He's concerned with the origins of life.

The lovely young lady with him is his assistant, Elizabeth Drake.

What's his fantasy?

To find positive proof that a creature once existed on this earth that was

neither man nor animal.

You mean we're going to help him find some kind of missing link?

What he's looking for is even more strange and mysterious than that,

Also, considerably more dangerous.

That young lady is Miss Delphine McNabb.

For the past three years, she has been part of a successful stage act, working

as assistant to the great Zachariah.

The famous magician?

Once I saw him make an elephant, it appeared.

Indeed, that too.

Recently, the act has been playing in Las Vegas, where Miss McNabb met the

man you see with her, Mr. Greg Randolph, a hotel executive.

Her fantasy is for them to be married in this island where she was born.

You mean she's a native of Pantida Island?

A descendant of one of our oldest families, the two. Her parents were dear

friends of mine.

Regrettably, I am not at all sure that I can grant her fantasy.

There are certain problems.

Then why you let her come all this way for?

Because I could not find it in my heart to refuse her, the two.

You see, she happens to be my goddaughter.

My dear guests, I am Mr. Rourke, your host.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Oh, my child.

Child? I can't call you that any longer.

You have blessed something to a full -grown woman.

And I'm about to become a wife.

Uncle, I want you to marry us.

As chief magistrate of the island, I do, of course, have that authority.

Like the captain of a ship, precisely.

How romantic.

Tattoo, since this is Mr. Randall's first visit to Fantasy Island, perhaps

would like to show him around, huh?

Boss, I thought Miss McNab would do that.

Well, if you don't mind gentlemen, I should like to talk to my goddaughter in

private See

you

later Well

uncle

you don't mind me calling you that do you

Godfather somehow just doesn't seem right after that Marlon Brando movie,

know?

What do you think of my Greg?

He seems like a fine young man.

Bright, earnest, and very practical, I would say.

He's on his way to the top. The youngest entertainment manager the Calvert Hotel

chain ever had.

Indeed.

Let's sit over there.

About your fantasy.

I suggest that...

We begin by consulting your family papers.

We will need your birth certificate, of course, and certain other documents.

You will find your family Bible over there on top of that shelf.

Precisely. What you did was instinctive, perfectly natural to you.

Must I remind you that you are not an ordinary mortal?

You have inherited certain powers known as the gift of the McNabs.

It's not a gift. It's a curse.

And I don't want it anymore. I never asked for it. All I want is to be a

happy wife.

Have you told him about your problem?

Oh, no.

I don't think I could ever make him understand.

You have to help me get rid of the gift.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

However, your magic gift can be controlled by concentration,

willpower.

I'm willing to try anything.

Remember, a true, deep love can often achieve more than strength.

Now, I will do all I can to help you, of course, but in the final analysis, only

you and you alone can solve the problem.

My theory, based on many years of personal research, is that somewhere in

Earth's early development, there had to be a life form structured on an element

other than carbon.

And have your studies identified that element?

The most abundant element in the Earth's crust, next to oxygen, silicon.

I've helped Paul, Dr.

Todd, organize his material, Mr. Rourke, mathematically.

There had to be that moment in the Earth's history, in some semi -molten

when conditions were perfect for the emergence of organisms based on silicon.

I see. May I?

A moment of creation.

The sun and the primeval mud and an unimagined life form staring in a fiery

chaos. A creature fashioned of silicon instead of flesh and blood.

Exactly.

How do I prove my theory?

Perhaps you will find it here, on Fantasy Island, Mr. Todd.

But you must be aware, even here I can only create the conditions, the

potential, for what you ask.

I can give no guarantees.

I understand that.

There could also be great potential danger.

I know that, Mr. Rourke, but I'm a scientist too. Danger sometimes goes

job.

Very well.

That mineral specimen you showed me just now, Miss Drake, it's identical to

rocks found at the northern tip of this island where you and Dr.

Todd will be going.

There are bands of pure silica in them?

Oh, indeed.

May I show you?

This is where the rock formations are found.

The area is volcanic.

The crater here. You must be very careful. The rock is very unstable in

spots.

Also, I must point out to you that the natives say the volcano is haunted.

It is taboo to the local people. Therefore, I regret that I cannot

with any helpers. I am terribly sorry.

I understand.

You're very kind.

You will find all the supplies you need, I believe, and if you just follow this

trail, you'll be on your way.

Of course.

Again, I thank you.

Good luck on your search for primordial life.

Come and sit down, Mr. Zechariah.

Please.

Mr. Rourke, how nice to see you.

May I inquire what brings you here at this particular time?

Dear Delphi's wedding, of course.

That's odd.

She didn't mention having invited you.

Delphi is the best assistant I ever had in my magic act.

Oh, I am sure. And you have no intention of losing her. In fact, you came here

to stop the wedding.

On the contrary, my dear fellow.

If you have no objection, I intend to ask Delphi to let me have the honor of

giving away the bride.

Mr. Zechariah.

I must insist that you do not speak to Miss McNabb or Mr. Randolph before the

ceremony. I will convey your request to her.

Mr. Zachariah, I would be most upset if anyone, for any reason, in any

way, interfered with my goddaughter's plans.

I shan't say a word to her.

Not a word.

Boy.

I don't know.

This is not something I know a lot about.

Did you check the coil wire?

What?

They always check the coil wire.

Well. Huh.

Well, Elizabeth, you're absolutely brilliant.

Thank you.

Paul. Uh -huh?

Do me a favor.

Sure, what's that?

Give me a kiss.

How do you put up with me?

It's not easy, Professor.

I've been so immersed in this project, sometimes I forget about everything

Including the woman I love.

The absent -minded professor.

Guilty as charged.

But there are two things I don't forget about.

Number one, I wouldn't be here at all without you.

And number two, you have to be the prettiest scientist in the world.

Forgive me?

Given.

Thought you could sneak off without me, didn't you?

Not a chance.

This is now a three -man expedition.

Figuratively speaking, of course.

Kyle, I don't know how you found us.

But as a matter of fact, we could use your help.

Any objections, Liz?

Would it matter if I said there were?

She's kidding.

Welcome aboard.

Yeah, just like old times. Just like old times.

We should be at our destination in about a half an hour.

Okay, you lead, I'll follow.

What's that you're reading, Uncle?

It's an old almanac, and according to it, during the next 48 hours, you must

summon all your willpower.

Constantly tell yourself you are just an ordinary human being.

Well, I'll try my best, Uncle. Good.

Oh, I, uh, I admit.

Honestly, it's like I have it. An unconscious reflex.

Whenever I'm with someone I know and I try to... It is a mystery to me how you

have managed this far to conceal the true nature of your unique talents from

your fiancé.

Well, whenever I slip up, I just pass it off as another conjuring drink.

Something I learned from my boss, the great Zachariah, prince of magic.

I see.

But in the daily intimacy of marriage...

you will not be able to hide the truth very long, would you?

No.

What do I do, Uncle?

Eat it.

Looks like Paul is on to something big, huh?

That's the real reason you came after us, isn't it?

To steal the credit again?

I don't know how you did it the last time, but I'm going to make sure you

do it here.

Last time was easy.

Remember all those notes you transcribed for him at your apartment?

Well, you never asked for your key back.

So you just let yourself in one night when I was working late, and you...

photographed what you needed.

I made a big mistake, Kyle.

I just didn't realize how big until now.

You're a pervert.

Yeah.

But lovable.

Remember?

Hello, Zachariah.

Madame Clooney.

Pleasure to see you again.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were playing Vegas this week.

Surely you heard.

Delphi quit my act to be married.

Married? You mean she hasn't invited the dear old nanny to the wedding?

No.

I can't understand what's gotten into the girl.

Where is she?

Right here, on the island.

That ungrateful child.

It's worse than you think.

Even now as we talk, the dear girl is deliberately and methodically attempting

to rid herself of the family gift.

No, no, she cannot.

You need her the way she is.

Precisely, madame.

I spoke to Rourke, and I'm convinced he's helping her.

If I can't get her back with her powers intact and accessible, my act is

finished.

The great Zachariah is all washed up.

And there'll be no more monthly checks for you.

Where are the cards?

gave way under her.

Any idea how deep the pit is? Can't tell her. It's too dark. I couldn't even see

her. Elizabeth!

Elizabeth, are you all right?

Elizabeth!

Is it?

Elizabeth, are you all right?

Are you sure? Come on, come on over here.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I think so.

Thank God.

Look.

Look at this.

Bands of pure silica.

All right.

You have to get the equipment down here and start work right away.

Okay, now.

Look, what have you done?

You can always wake up.

Look.

Gee, I... Remember me? I'm Chet Nolan, Senior Vice President of Calvert Hotels

Incorporated.

Madge, I want you to meet a very, very dear friend of mine.

Greg Randolph.

Greg Randolph, of course. How do you do?

This is my wife, Madge.

We are celebrating a wedding anniversary.

Congratulations.

It's my fiancée, Delphine.

Oh, you got a great idea, partner.

Thank you.

Oh, let's have a double celebration. Let me buy the drinks.

Uh, maybe a little later, okay?

Really nice seeing both of you. Nice to see you. Come on, Ted.

Come on, you should get something to eat.

Ah, eat, eat. I came here to celebrate.

You want to feed my face?

You and I go boogie. I'd rather not, Cher.

You're no fun.

But you suit yourself.

Hey, buddy.

Listen,

you wouldn't mind if a senior vice president danced with your little

Well, we...

Uh, Greg.

Thank you, Greg!

Sure.

Don't mind Chad, he hardly ever drinks. Special occasion.

Right. He's gonna be sorry and...

Mr. Nolan, you're hurting me.

in solid silica for 30 million years.

Maybe more.

Mrs. Nolan?

Well, what's wrong? What is it?

Chad, I can't find him anywhere.

I'm afraid something terrible's happened to him.

When was the last time you saw him?

Dancing with you at the restaurant.

Oh, I never should have let him drink so much. It's all my fault. Oh, please,

don't blame yourself.

He's not used to alcohol.

What you saw previously wasn't the real Chet.

He's really very sweet and gentle.

Oh, I've just got to find that big, beautiful lung.

Isn't that Chet over there?

Where?

I'm here.

Chet!

Chet!

Chet, honey, are you all right?

Please, Madge, don't shout.

Don't even whisper.

I'm going to take the pledge.

I swear.

Oh, poor baby.

You old fiend, what in God's name just happened here? How did you do that? Do

what? Now it's all going to come out.

Young Randolph will never go through with the wedding.

He's much too conservative and ambitious to hook up with someone who has special

powers.

Ah!

Ah!

You're giving Blake... Ah.

All right, Joffrey, come on. Let's have it.

How'd you do that back there?

Do what, darling?

You waved your hand like this.

I did?

Mr. Nolan, you just sort of materialized.

Well, how about some nice fried chicken?

In your act, you and Zachariah make all kinds of things disappear and reappear,

including, for heaven's sake, an elephant.

Oh, Matt, that's heavy.

Every time it happens, you move your hand the same way.

I do?

Yes, you do.

Well, that's just a mannerism.

What do you want me to tell you, darling?

That I have all these mysterious powers?

That I really can do magic all by myself?

Is that what you'd like me to tell you?

No.

No, my God, no.

That wouldn't be normal.

I thought so.

Well, the fact is, my love, that it's just another trick, and I can't tell you

how it's done because it's a professional secret.

going to force Delphine to show her boyfriend Greg what she really is and

damage she can do.

After which, the dear boy will sprint all the way to Vegas.

Carl!

Carl!

Yes, Elizabeth?

Alive. A silicon creature.

Kyle, get her out of here.

No, no.

It's afraid of the sunlight. Paul, I thought it started toward me. And when

stepped into the sun's rays, it jumped back and disappeared in the cave.

Do you guys know what we have here?

It's beyond my wildest dreams.

It's not...

It's not just a theory.

Describe it. What's its composition?

It's so difficult.

Glossy. I don't know. Its body refracts the light somehow.

Wait a minute.

Pure silicon.

Transformed somehow in the fires of the volcano.

And the fusion of the elements.

Beyond comprehension. Who knows?

But that creature exists right now, down there.

And we've got no way to kill it. Kill it?

Kyle, don't you understand?

That thing is elemental.

It's unkillable.

But we are going to have to immobilize it with an organic compound. That would

prove useless.

Hydrofluoric acid, a weak solution, could neutralize the filica cells.

Come on, Kyle.

You're sure Mr.

Zachariah isn't angry with me for breaking up the act?

Well, he insists that he had come all this way hoping that you might grant him

the privilege of giving away the bride.

Granted.

It's very sweet of him.

May I say you look enchanting.

Thanks. But I wish you'd picked another word, Uncle.

That's all over, isn't it?

You are sure in your heart that you now have complete control of yourself?

I have the gift safely locked away.

I know it wasn't easy for you.

But a wish that exists in the heart and mind can always be made to exist in the

world.

Well, let's proceed with the ceremony.

My God, daughter.

You're going to have to get pretty damn close with that thing for a dart to

penetrate silicon.

That's where you come in, Kyle.

Here to grab that pick and try to divert his attention.

Liz, I want you out of here.

Oh, no. I'm part of the team.

All right.

Just stay close.

Let's get out of here. That thing could blow any minute.

Look, the creature walking past there is soaking wet. Come on.

Let's just stay put.

Now, wait a minute. Look, you're going to earn this one, professor.

That's why I let you come along.

This time we do it together, we'll take the credit together.

What are you talking about?

I know about the last time. You stole all my data. I knew the day you turned

your paper into the association.

I let it go.

Because I love Liz.

And I knew you would drag her into what would have been a very massive

situation.

Say that again?

The part about you loving me?

Liz, I always have.

I always will.

He's dear, okay?

Alright now, come on Kyle.

We gotta follow him deeper into the cave.

Elizabeth! This is a killer.

No, don't throw the pick! Don't throw the pick!

Rox, we gotta get him to drop his hips.

Make him go over us!

I'd be a vulnerable spot.

Sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Lesbeth?

Last of its kind.

But you're all right.

That's all that matters.

And if anyone here can show just cause why this man and woman may not lawfully

be joined together, let him now speak, or else he'd after forever hold his

peace. I will speak.

Clooney, how nice of you to come. I raised that girl.

I was her nursemaid.

I can tell you she is a sorceress.

A what?

She is the source.

The custodian of a magical force.

Passed down from her family.

The gift of the McNabs.

And she deliberately and flagrantly deceived this young man.

Hidden from him her powers.

Look, I call upon you to denounce her and stop the marriage.

No. I love him.

can't get this thing under control. I told Uncle this isn't a gift. It's a

family curse.

You're wrong, my dear.

You can't control it.

This, for once, was not your doing.

Oh, you had the thought in your heart, but someone else performed the deed.

Mr. Zachariah.

Come now, my dear fellow.

I'm just a stage illusionist. I do tricks.

But I have no special powers.

Precisely. For years you have used Miss McNabb's special powers to perform all

kinds of astounding tricks which none of your stage rivals could duplicate.

But now, without those powers, you were forced to conjure up a somewhat

spectacular, if routine, illusion.

Come out of the bushes, Clooney.

If only I had known, I would never have run out on you.

So, consider yourself fired.

Miss McNabb has self -control. She earned it by a supreme effort of

and a profound love for you.

You are a very fortunate young man, Mr. Randolph. With such a wife, there is no

telling how much you can accomplish in life.

Shall we continue with the ceremony?

Continue by all means, Mr. Rourke.

Now, where was I?

Buck, why don't you start at the beginning?

Weddings to me, huh?

We'd like to thank you for all your help. I am only sorry that you lost the

greatest scientific discovery of your life, Dr. Todd.

It's all right.

I've found something even more important.

If only we could have communicated with the creature.

It was 30 million years beyond its own time, Miss Drake.

He belonged to the fire that created it.

Dr. Todd, where is your colleague, Dr. Mason?

Oh, he's taking a later flight.

Two is company.

But I'm not going to say three is a crowd.

Thank you. You're very welcome to Qatar.

Goodbye. Goodbye, Miss Drake.

I've learned two important things, Mr. Roark.

That strength of character is a lot more important than conforming. And that my

wife is even more special than I ever thought.

There's so much to thank you for, Uncle.

You've given me self -discipline, control over my own life.

I am very happy for both of you, Mr.

and Mrs.

Randolph.

My dear, your parents will be proud of you. Don't be afraid to use the gift

bequeathed you.

But you said... When he can achieve something truly worthwhile.

The world needs all the magic he can get.

That's right.

Goodbye, Mr. Rush.

Goodbye. Goodbye, best man.

Goodbye.

What could have happened to Mr. Zachariah?

The Prince of Magic has officially announced his retirement.

And at the same time found himself a new partner.

A new partner?

I don't get it, boss.

He is now half owner in a small local business.

Oh. Madame Clooney's Curio Shop. That's right.
