- Although Fritz's latest project

wasn't very practical, it sure was fun to listen to.

(soft music)

I wish I could play like that.

Hmm?

(Mercedes cries)

Shh.

Fritz's playing made the whole island seem peaceful.

But then again, I've always felt safe when Fritz was around.

I guess that's how big brothers

are supposed to make you feel.

- [Ernest] Well, what do you think?

- I'm not sure I've heard anything prettier.

- Hmm, I believe the last time he played any music

was for that dance we all had on the ship.

That was great fun.

- What's that you're working on, Ernest?

- Oh, this? It's just a sketch of a ship.

- May I take a look at it?

Mm, nice. What's it for?

- It's for getting off the island, I hope.

We haven't seen a ship for months and I'm not sure

we're going to see one ever again terribly soon.

Besides, we've already made provisions

in the event that we do see a ship.

With that in mind, I think it's time to start figuring out

what all the other options are for getting off this island.

- And you think one of our options is building a ship?

- Well, it would take a really long time

and the timber on this island is not exactly suitable

for ship building, but it's worth considering.

- I'm certain you can do it, darling.

- Hmm?

- You've accomplished several things while on this island,

like that instrument for Fritz.

You'd never designed one before,

but now it's making everybody happy.

- Mmhmm. Everybody does seem to be enjoying the music.

(soft music)

- [Voiceover] Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Parkanthea

requests the presence of the fairest maiden in the land,

the Princess Becca of Switzerland.

The Princess shall be delivered unto the castle

in the usual fashion and upon arrival be greeted

in a manner befitting her station.

(classical music)

- Becca darling, in all my years I've never met anyone

quite so fascinating and beautiful.

Please allow me to escort you to the ball.

- Prince Rupert...

I'd love to.

(giggles)

- [Jack] Fritz?

- [Fritz] Yes, Jack?

- Can you make me a violin to play on?

- Violins are too hard to make,

but what made you think of a violin?

I haven't played one in a long time.

- You and that girl played one

when we were all on the big boat.

- Right.

Oh, Emily. I wish we were together again.

(jaunty music)

I do miss you, Emily.

- I think the girl on the boat looks a lot like Becca.

- You must be joking!

Emily doesn't look like Becca, Emily's beautiful!

- [Jack] Oh. - [Becca] What did you say?

- [Fritz] Becca!

- [Becca] Fritz Robinson, you answer me this minute!

What did you say?

- Becca, I didn't see you sitting there.

- Well, I was and I heard you say something about me.

What was it?

- Uh, well, I, um...

- Oh, Mercedes!

Mercedes, I think I'd better

maybe talk to you now for a minute.

- [Becca] You and Jack were talking

about playing violins with Emily.

- Um, right.

Jack and I were talking about the dance on the boat.

- No, you and Jack were talking about how beautiful Emily

was and that Jack's joking if he thinks I look like Emily!

- I didn't mean it the way it sounded, Becca.

- Hmph!

(Fritz gasps)

- Becca! Becca, come back!

I didn't mean it! Oh...

- I think Becca's really mad at you, Fritz.

- Boy, did I say the wrong thing.

- I don't care if I never see him again!

(grunting)

- Hmm? Oh, Becca, good.

I'm glad you came back inside.

I was just about to go and look for you.

It's almost bedtime, dear.

Are Jack and Fritz coming?

(Becca groans)

- [Both] Hmm.

(Becca grumbling)

- Becca, what's wrong? Why are you upset?

Are you going to sleep downstairs tonight?

Becca?

- Yes.

- [Ernest] Becca, your mother asked what was wrong.

I think you should answer her.

- So maybe I'm not really a princess.

That doesn't mean that I have to listen

to him make fun of me all the time!

I mean, just who does he think he is?

- [Fritz] Up you go, Jack.

- [Jack] Go to sleep, Mercedes.

- [Anna] Do you know what's wrong with Becca?

- I think I said the wrong thing.

- What wrong thing was that?

- Well Jack and I were talking about making violins,

and then we were talking about Emily and me

playing together at the dance.

- But why would that make her mad?

- Jack said that Becca and Emily looked alike

and I said he must be joking because Emily is beautiful,

but I didn't know that Becca was sitting there

and then she got real mad and ran off.

- All you said was that Emily was beautiful?

- Ernest!

- I'm confused!

- It's not that he said Emily was beautiful,

it's that he said Becca wasn't.

Even at her age girls are sensitive about their looks.

I'll talk to her.

- Jack, would you go help your mother cheer up Becca?

- All right.

- I know it sounded like I said Becca wasn't beautiful

but that's not what I meant.

- [Anna] Ernest! - [Ernest] Huh?

- Ernest, she's not here. The door's open.

She's gone out to sleep in the forest.

You must go find her right now!

- I'm on my way, dear.

- Father, may I come along?

- Why don't you stay here with your mother and Jack?

I don't think I'll be very long.

- [Jack] Mother, where's Becca?

(Brewster sniffing)

- Becca!

Becca!

Becca?

Becca, where are you?

(Brewster barking)

Brewster!

That's it, boy. Go find Becca!

What did you find, boy?

Aw, Becca what do you think you're doing?

It's too dangerous to sleep out here.

I want you to come home right now.

- I'm not coming home, I'm never going to sleep in the same

place as him again!

- I just don't think it's safe to sleep out here,

what with the jackals.

That's why we built a tree house so we wouldn't be bothered.

- I'm not scared! I'm sleeping here tonight.

- Do you mind if I stay for a while?

- Mm-mm.

- Well, at least it's a nice night. Are you warm enough?

- Uh-huh.

- You know, Becca, someone once wrote that

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Also that beauty is only skin-deep.

Do you understand what I'm saying to you?

- I understand perfectly what you're saying.

You don't think I'm beautiful either!

- All right Becca, that's ridiculous.

Of course I think you're beautiful!

- No you don't!

If you really thought I was beautiful you wouldn't have to

tell me how unimportant it is!

- Honey, I was merely pointing out

that who a person is on the inside...

- Oh, I don't wanna talk about it anymore!

- All right but it's just too dangerous out here.

Please, Becca. - [Becca] No! I won't go back.

I don't care of the jackals do come after me,

I'm never going back, now please leave me alone!

- Well if that's what you want.

- [Becca] It is!

- Brewster, stay here with Becca. Keep her safe.

That's a good boy.

Well I'm going back to the tree house now.

If you should change your mind, come home, Becca.

- [Becca] Goodnight, Father.

- [Ernest] Well I found her.

- Ernest, where is she?

- [Ernest] She's just around the bend there

but she refuses to come back tonight.

- Oh dear.

- I'll go keep watch over her.

- Why don't I take the first shift?

I don't think she's going to be out there too long.

- [Anna] Be careful!

- [Becca] See. There's nothing to be afraid of out here.

(animals squawking) Hm?

Oh! What's that?

(whimpers)

- [Fritz] But why did she react so strongly?

- [Anna] Well, because she's beginning to consider herself

a young lady now.

- She's not old enough, Mother.

- Oh I think she's old enough, Fritz.

Why, when I was her age I can remember feeling

exactly the same way.

- Yes but I'm sure you didn't spend all your time

climbing trees.

- You're not taking any of this seriously.

Perhaps that's why you hurt

Becca's feelings without knowing it.

- I know I hurt them.

- I may not have climbed as many trees as our Becca,

but I've had my share of hurt feelings.

I know what it means to be made fun of.

- But I wasn't making fun of Becca!

I didn't even know she was behind us listening.

- But had you known she was behind you,

you might have said something different.

- Of course, that's what I was trying to tell her.

- But she was mad.

- Yeah she just wouldn't listen.

- You're her big brother,

and what you think is very important to her.

You'll have to be more careful in the future.

- I wish I could take all of it back.

- I'm not sure that this will be the last time

you'll have those feelings.

And even though we can never take our words back,

we can seek that individual out

and ask for their forgiveness.

But if they're stubborn and refuse to grant our forgiveness,

at least they've heard the nature of our heart.

- Yes, I understand.

- [Anna] Well, why don't you talk to her in the morning?

- No.

I think I'll do it tonight.

(peaceful music)

- Fritz, you startled me.

- [Fritz] Sorry. - [Ernest] That's all right.

- Do you think she's still mad at me?

- She's angry at both of us.

I'm afraid I've joined your as a resident in the dog house.

- But, that's amazing!

- No, actually it was an easy thing to accomplish.

- What do you mean it was easy?

How did you get Becca mad at you?

- Simple. Instead of compassion, I tried to convince.

(animals squawking) - [Both] Huh?

- [Ernest] Just a bird.

- There's nothing to be scared of.

I'm not afraid, I'm not!

(chickens clucking)

- Hi, Dad!

We just saw Becca.

- Is she coming to breakfast?

- No, she's not.

- I told her that if she didn't come to the table quick,

there wouldn't be anything left,

but she told me she wasn't hungry.

- She's not hungry? Why that doesn't sound like Becca.

- Oh there's nothing wrong with her appetite.

She's just not sure if she's done being mad.

- Hm.

What do you think, Anna?

- I think we should all go to the garden.

I'll leave Becca's breakfast out here on the table.

- [Ernest] Good idea, dear.

- [Jack] Thank you.

- You're very welcome, darling.

Fritz, you should really eat more.

Who knows, you may spend another long night

watching Becca sleep under a tree.

(Ernest and Fritz gasp)

- [Ernest] Hm.

- Help! I'm going to fade from lack of food!

I'm so hungry!

(gasps)

I wonder if anyone's ever died from skipping breakfast.

I bet everybody else has had something to eat this morning.

I wonder why Jack hasn't come back.

I told him to tell me when the coast was clear!

Why am I talking to you? You're on their side.

- [Jack] Becca! Becca, the clear is coast!

- Yay! After all this time I'm finally going to get to eat!

Let's see. Oh, boy!

Look at all this good food!

Everybody's hungry.

(mumbles)

(groans)

- What's wrong, Becca?

Oh! Want some milk?

(Becca gulping)

- Oh, I better not put any more in.

- [Fritz] How's the corn look?

- It's ripe.

I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

- I'm sure it will. The beans are ripe too.

- [Anna] Wonderful, but don't pick every single

bean you see, leave some on the vine.

- Why not pick them?

- The ones we leave on the vine will be the seeds

for next season's harvest.

We can't pick them until the leaves wilt.

- I see.

- I figure about two thirds of the crop

should be sufficient.

That way, even if we fail twice like we did this year,

we should have enough.

- But Mother, we couldn't possibly fail again.

You've taught us farming too well.

- My goodness, Fritz.

It's been my pleasure showing you what I know,

but you have to remember that farming can be as

unpredictable as the weather.

- I'll stick with music.

- And well you should.

Now I want you to bring this home and see how Becca's doing.

All right?

- Right. Boy, she's going to enjoy these beans tonight.

- [Becca] Since I wasn't hungry anymore, I decided it was

time to strike out on my own and see the island.

- Are we almost to where we are going, Becca?

- I'm not sure, I haven't found it yet.

- [Jack] What are you looking for?

- My new home.

- Are Mother and Father going to be at this new home?

- No, I'm going to live there all by myself,

but you can come and visit whenever you want,

and bring Mercedes and Brewster and, hey!

This is perfect! It's exactly what I was looking for.

This is my new home!

- It looks like our tree without the house on it.

- I don't need a big house on it,

I'm just going to sleep there.

(grunting)

I hope this one isn't hollow inside.

(knocking)

Well my bedroom floor's rock-solid.

Yipee! Yahoo! Hooray!

(groans)

- [Jack] Becca, I wanna come up too!

- [Becca] Come on up if you think you can make it!

- No, it's too big!

- [Anna] Well I'm glad Becca got something to eat.

- Something to eat is right.

There wasn't anything left.

- [Anna] She had a restless night, in fact she's probably

getting hungry for lunch.

- Let's bring her a bowl of this corn, that'll surprise her.

- Good idea. (Jack humming)

Oh!

(Jack humming)

Jack, how is Becca?

- She's fine. She's in her new house now.

- Oh? What new house?

- The one in the big tree.

But it doesn't have a hole in the middle.

- [Anna] Let's go see this big tree.

(peaceful music)

- This is boring alone.

Maybe I should have helped Jack climb up here.

- [Jack] Becca! Are you home?

- Jack!

- [Ernest] Becca?

- [Fritz] Becca? Are you up there?

- Oh, thanks a lot, Jack.

Did you have to bring the whole island along?

- [Ernest] Becca, are you there?

Answer me, Becca. - [Jack] This is the tree.

- [Fritz] You two wait here. I'm going to climb up.

- [Becca] Leave me alone! - [Fritz] Becca, listen!

I came to apologize for what I said the other night.

I didn't mean it!

- I'm not coming back. I don't care what anybody says!

- [Fritz] Oh, Becca!

- Go away!

- Whoa, hey! (Mercedes crying)

Come back here, don't climb up that!

- Hey, this is my tree and I don't want, oh!

Mercedes!

I didn't mean my best friends couldn't come up!

- [Jack] Mercedes, come back here!

- Oh, my Mercedes. I'm so glad you came to see me.

(giggles) - [Jack] Mercedes!

I said come back here!

(melancholic music)

- [Anna] Becca! Becca!

Becca, can you hear me?

Becca?

(Becca mumbling)

- [Becca] I'm right here, Mother, in the tree!

- We went out to the garden today and brought back

some fresh corn, would you like some?

- Yes, I'm strarving!

- [Anna] Well come and get it.

- All right!

(grunts)

Oh!

Looks yummy!

Mmm!

Mm, delicious!

(Anna giggles)

- Don't eat too fast, Becca, you might end up choking.

- Mm-mm, I know!

(Mercedes whelps)

(Anna giggles)

- Brewster and Mercedes sure are cute when they

play together aren't they, Mother?

- Yes, they are.

You know, they remind me of you when you were young.

I think you must have been about two-years-old

or maybe three, I can't really remember now, Becca,

but anyway, you and Fritz had a game that you used to play

together all the time, you called it "Pony Man."

Fritz would be Pony Man and your would be Horseback Rider.

You would ride on his back yelling,

"Pony man, go faster! Go faster!"

And you would end up making the both of you dizzy.

You and Fritz were always cute together.

- [Becca] Sure is good corn! - [Anna] Becca...

Fritz told me that he apologized to you,

are you going to accept it?

- I don't know.

It hurts when I think about what Fritz said

about me and Emily.

- Yes...

And Fritz realizes that he has made a mistake by hurting you

and has asked for your forgiveness.

There's not much more we can ask from a person.

Well, I think I'll leave and let you think for a while.

We'll be having more food from the garden tonight

if you want to come by.

- [Becca] Mother? - [Anna] Yes, Becca?

- [Becca] Is Fritz back at the tree house?

- No, he went down to gather oysters, for you.

- For me?

- [Anna] Yes, I heard him telling your father

he thought you might like some.

He said that as long as you're going to live away

from home for a time, he might as well

help you out with some food.

So he went off to the rocks down past Lookout Point.

He should still be there.

Well, I really need to be getting back now.

Goodbye. - [Becca] Bye.

(Anna humming)

Mother sure has a way of getting you to do the right thing

without really telling you you have to do it.

I wonder how she does that.

Besides, I was getting bored sitting in that tree all alone.

(Fritz gasping)

He really is getting oysters just for me?

(majestic string music)

(Fritz gasping)

I don't know if it was the oysters or not, but suddenly

I felt different about everything that had happened.

He's been down there a long time.

(tense music)

(Fritz groaning)

Fritz!

Come up, Fritz!

Fritz, please come up!

Oh please please, Fritz, you can't drown now.

You just can't!

(Fritz gasping and panting)

Fritz!

- Becca!

- Fritz, are you all right?

(Becca and Fritz grunt)

Oh Fritz, I was so worried when you didn't come up for air!

- I'm fine now, that was close.

My foot got caught under a rock.

I couldn't get it out for the longest time.

- Fritz, you're bleeding! I'll run back for a bandage.

- Becca, don't worry about it. Here.

Let's not forget about the prize that I went through

all this trouble for.

All right.

Now open wide and say,

"Ah!" - [Becca] Ah!

- There. Pretty scrumptious, huh?

- My favorite!

- [Fritz] Mine too.

- [Becca] Thank you very much.

- I'm sure you'd like another one.

- All right!

- Well then, let's just get this little guy open

and have us, oh my gosh!

- Oh?

- There's something in this oyster!

- What?

What is it, Fritz?

- [Fritz] Well, would you look at that!

- Oh, this black pearl is positively breath-taking!

- Yes and they're reputedly worth quite a lot of money.

- Congratulations, Becca.

Keep it safe! - [Becca] I will!

- Gracious, when I ran away, the outcome was

certainly different. (Becca and Fritz gasp)

- You ran away from home?

What happened to make you wanna leave?

- Well, (giggles)

it's rather embarrassing to talk about,

but I ran away from home for the very same

reasons Becca did.

- Someone hurt your feelings?

- [Anna] Mm-hm. - [Fritz] That's amazing.

- So that's why you seemed to understand

the situation so well.

- I knew she'd come back I just wasn't sure when.

- Did people bring you any presents?

- I did receive something.

A cold from sleeping with the horses.

The barn was no tropical island.

- Mother, when I run away from home,

I really want a horsey.

- Oh not you too, what do you mean a horse?

- You said you got a horsey and I want a horsey too!

(all laughing)

- [Anna] Oh, sweetheart, listen.

For one thing I don't want you running away!

- [Jack] I want a horsey!

I want a horsey!
