(delicate flute music)

(Jack grunting with exertion)

- Jack, you've got to be a little more careful

when hitting the material.

Otherwise you'll rip it up with the stick.

- All right!

- Mother's right.

We can't rip these.

They're the only blankets we have.

This one isn't clean.

- Oh, dear!

You're right, without soap

these blankets aren't coming clean.

- If we didn't have blankets or wear clothes,

we wouldn't need to do laundry, would we?

Since it's so warm here, we could wear

grass skirts that wouldn't need washing.

- Just grass skirts?

- That's right!

You and Father would look wonderful in yours,

like a tropical king and queen!

- What an imagination!

(laughs)

Tropical king and queen!

- Well, I don't think it's such a funny idea.

- Sorry!

(laughs)

- I haven't gotten a nibble all morning.

Maybe the new bait'll help.

I don't know, Fritz.

If we don't catch something soon,

we should move to a different spot.

- We really haven't been in this spot that long, Father.

I think if we stay here a little while longer,

we're bound to catch something.

- You're right.

You have to remember, Fritz,

I'm relatively new at all this.

I didn't do much fishing in Switzerland.

- Really?

Didn't your father ever take you fishing

when you were younger?

- No, I'm afraid not.

My father never did take me fishing.

He was very busy with his practice.

He didn't have time for frivolous things.

When I was young I had to spend

all of my time studying to be a doctor like him.

- Sounds like a serious childhood.

- It was.

- So when did you have time to meet Mother?

- Huh?

Fritz, how did we get from fishing to romance?

(laughs)

- Hey, you've got one, Father!

- Oh, it's strong!

- Hold on, Father!

Steady now!

Give him a little line.

I think you got a good one, Father!

- Yes.

(grunting)

- Here we go!

Wow, look at the size of him!

You did it, Dad!

- You mean, we did it, don't you, Fritz?

(Becca giggling)

- [Becca] Sorry, Brewster!

- [Anna] We'll hang this last one to dry

and we'll be all done.

- Mother, exactly how old were you when you married Father?

- What made you think of that question?

- I just want to know how long they have to wait?

- Oh, Becca!

(laughs)

- Mother, I'm serious!

Stop laughing at me!

- I'm sorry, Becca.

I didn't mean to laugh at you.

- That's all right.

I just want to know how old you were

when you got married to Father?

- Let's see.

I was 17 when I married your father.

- Oh, really?

- You know what that means?

It means that I'll have been married to your father

for 20 years.

Can you believe that?

- That means it'll be your 20th anniversary, Mother.

Mother?

(slow string music)

- [Becca] You're lucky you don't have to read this.

- How's the studying coming, Becca?

- I need to talk to you.

- You can talk to me later.

You're supposed to be studying now.

- But this is about Mom and Dad!

It's really very important.

- Mom and Dad?

- Yes!

It's their anniversary.

Mother told me today that they've been

happily married for 20 years.

- 20 years?

Are you certain?

- Yes.

And we have to do something.

Plan a celebration or something.

- Come to think of it, Father told me

he was 26 when he married mother.

- So what do you say, Fritz?

I think the three of us should make them a special present

in honor of their 20th wedding anniversary.

- What sort of present?

- Something they really want.

- Exactly what do you have in mind?

- Well, I'm sure what they would really want

is to be rescued off this island,

but since we can't arrange anything like that,

I thought the next best thing would be to leave them

alone for a night for a second honeymoon.

- You know something, Becca,

that's not a bad idea.

But what's going to happen to us?

Where are we going to spend the night?

Are we just going to sleep out under the stars somewhere?

Or are we just going to wander around all night?

- Don't be silly, Fritz.

We're going to stay here

and they're going to go someplace else.

- Huh?

- We'll arrange for them to stay at another house,

a honeymoon cottage,

where they can be all alone.

- But there isn't any honeymoon cottage on the island?

- We are just going to have to make one ourselves, Fritz.

- But where?

(Becca laughs)

- The tree where I slept when I ran away from home!

It's right over here!

- This tree is short enough.

We should be able to get to the top easily.

What's the next step?

- We could cut some palm leaves down

and use them for the ceiling

and the floor of the honeymoon cottage.

- Great!

Let's do it.

- All right.

(flute music)

- Here, Fritz.

- We'll need a lot more, Jack.

- Won't Mother and Father be surprised

when they see what we've done here, Fritz?

- I can't wait!

- It's romantic.

Their own special place.

- Yeah.

- Fritz!

Becca!

Jack!

Children!

I wonder where they've gone to?

Oh dear, it's not like them to miss a meal.

- [Fritz] Hello, Mother!

- [Becca] Hi, Mom!

- Hello, children.

Where were you off to?

- Well, it was such a nice day today,

we decided we might as well do our lessons outside.

- Yes, it was really nice to study outside for a change.

- [Mother] That's wonderful.

- I helped also...

- [Mother] Hmm?

- What he meant to say was that

Jack was helping me with my studying.

- Jack helped you with your homework, Becca?

- He sure did!

- [Anna] I would think that you would've helped him?

- Oh, well now that you mention it,

actually we all did work...

Er, rather studied together.

Didn't we, Jack?

- Uh huh! Uh huh! Uh huh!

- Something sounds a little fishy.

Are you sure you were studying today?

- [Fritz] Oh, sure.

Absolutely.

- Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Come on, let's all eat some dinner.

(children sigh with relief)

(light flute music)

- [Becca] This will be perfect.

Aren't they beautiful?

- Uh huh.

- Jack nearly let it slip back there.

- Yes, I'm not sure whether Mother believed us or not

because of what Jack said.

- Sorry.

- Fritz, you should tell Jack what to say

if he's asked something.

- All right.

Jack, if Mother or Father asks you

what you've been studying,

tell them handicrafts.

- All right, I'll tell them we've been

building a house as a handicraft lesson.

- Ooh, that's even worse than before!

(Fritz and Jack laugh)

- [Becca] We spent the rest of the day

decorating Mother and Father's

anniversary honeymoon cottage.

Doesn't this look beautiful?

- Whoa!

I feel like I'm in a flower garden!

- The flowers really do add a nice, homey touch, don't they?

- I think I like this home better than our other one!

- Me, too.

I wouldn't mind staying.

- Come on, you two.

The plan was to let Mother and Father

have this place all to themselves.

- I know.

It's just nice to dream sometimes.

There they are!

- What are they doing?

Can you see them?

- I think they're salting some fish.

- All right!

Do it now while they're busy.

- All right!

- Hmm?

(birds chirping)

- Where are the children, Anna?

- They decided to have their lessons outside today.

- Oh.

- Hey, Fritz!

I got it!

- All right!

Throw it down here!

Good work!

Now get the other one.

- I thought I heard some voices.

Did you?

- No, dear.

I didn't hear anything.

The children should be coming back soon

and then we'll have dinner.

- Oh, look, Anna.

One of the blankets is missing.

- That's strange.

Maybe the wind blew it off?

I'd better go up and see.

- She'll come up here and find out!

Mom? Mom?

- Yes?

What is it, Becca?

- They blankets were dry,

so I thought that I would bring them inside for you.

- Oh, Becca!

Thank you very much.

- She can be very helpful, can't she?

- She certainly can.

(Becca sighs)

- What a relief!

- Go, Mommy, go!

It's a surprise!

- Come on, Father!

Hurry up!

- Oh, children.

If you don't slow down, I'm going to stumble.

- Come on, Mom!

Hurry!

- Exactly where are you taking us, Becca?

- You'll find out soon enough.

- This is it!

- Look at that!

There's a roof on top.

- That's right!

This is the new Robinson family cottage!

- [Anna] My, when did you have time to do all this?

It's really very charming.

Oh, look dear!

Look at all the flowers.

- We proudly present

the Robinson family honeymoon cottage

for you, Mom and Dad.

- What are you talking about?

- Mom and Dad,

congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary!

- And many more!

Yay!

(clapping)

- Yay!

- And now, Mother and Father,

in honor of your 20th wedding anniversary,

we'd like you to spend

an evening alone together in the honeymoon cottage.

Please accept our invitation.

- Well, I...

- Well, don't just stand there, Mother!

Go up into the cottage!

Come on, Father.

You, too!

- All right, Becca.

Anna, it's a rope ladder.

- I know, dear, but it's not quite as high

as the one at the treehouse.

I'll be fine.

Oh, it's lovely!

Oh, how sweet!

- They did a really nice job.

- This must have been what they were

spending their time on

when they were supposed to be studying.

Goodness.

So this is where the wind blew our blankets

when Becca was helping with the laundry?

- I guess I had you fooled!

- Well, you certainly fooled me!

- I was surprised myself.

- Now we'd like both of you to please sit down.

- All right.

- And now we have another present for you.

- Oh?

- Well, what's next?

(Fritz strums stringed instrument)

- Now, in honor of the 20th wedding anniversary

of Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Robinson,

we proudly present:

- The Amazing Fritz and his Dancing Fingers.

- Oh, entertainment!

- Yes, an entertainment!

We'd like to serenade you with one of our favorite songs.

It's a folk song we all learned back in Switzerland.

And joining the Amazing Frtiz will be

the Incredible Jack and the Fanastic Becca,

who will be singing this lovely song for you.

Take a bow, please.

(clapping)

(sheep bleating)

- Come on, you too, Brewster.

You sleep inside tonight.

- Well, since we're all alone here we should lock up tight.

- This turned out to be quite a lovely evening.

- Yes.

They really worked hard to give us both

such a wonderful gift.

- We are very lucky to have such thoughtful children.

- Yes, as a matter of fact, being alone

on this deserted island has brought us

more together as a family.

- Mmm hmm.

Yes, they've all grown up so.

I could barely keep back my tears

when I saw Jack singing.

They are all such wonderful children, aren't they?

- Indeed they are, dear.

♫ O Vreneli, please tell me true

♫ Wherever is your home

♫ I left my home in Switzerland

♫ I left my home in Switzerland

(laughing)

(soft instrumental music)

- Ernst... - You know I...

- You go ahead, my dear.

- No, please darling.

What were you saying?

- It's just that I don't feel good

about leaving the children alone.

- I know exactly how you feel.

- Don't tell me you feel the same way?

- I certainly do.

- I was thinking about looking in on them.

- So was I, dear.

(laughing)

(soft music)

- [Ernst] She looks so sweet

- Sleep well, my angel.

- Looks like Jack decided to sleep with Fritz tonight.

They're tired out from their concert.

- They look so peaceful.

I'm truly sorry about tonight, Ernst.

It's just that if I'm not with the children,

I worry about them so much.

- I feel the same way, Anna,

but it would break their little hearts

if we didn't take them up on their kind offer.

- You're right.

- Madam, please allow me to escort you back to the cottage.

- I should like that.

- Anna, did you just hear that?

Jackals!

- Ernst, I'm frightened.

Let's go back.

(rustling)

- It's too late to go back.

Quickly, up here!

You'll be safe.

- All right.

- Are the children safe from the jackals?

- They'll be fine.

Our treehouse is up high.

This is the place we have to worry about.

This is low enough for them to jump up.

(jackals snarl)

- I'm frightened!

- Now calm down, Anna.

(Anna cries)

Anna, you've got climb up that long branch there.

- But I can't!

I can't climb a tree!

- [Ernst] There!

Good, it works!

(jackals whimper)

(slow instrumental music)

That'll keep them away for awhile.

If they come back, we'll have to start again.

Here's one!

(jackals whimper)

- [Anna] Oh, Ernst!

This is just horrible!

How long can we keep this up?

They'll just keep waiting down there, awful things.

We can't keep this up much longer, can we?

- We're going to have to.

We don't have a choice in the matter.

- [Anna] Ernst!

(jackal snarls)

(jackal whimpers)

- Anna, are you all right?

- Yes, I'm...

(bird chirping)

- Look, the sun's coming up!

Thank goodness we were able to keep them

away from us until the light drove them back into hiding.

It's all right.

They've gone now.

- [Anna] Oh, thank goodness!

Our anniversary didn't turn out very romantic.

- [Becca] Mother! Father!

What's this?

Look at all those burnt branches!

What happened?

- Hey, look!

The roof's gone!

- [Fritz] You're right, Jack!

The whole thing's gone.

- Mother? Father?

- [Ernst] Good morning, children.

- What happened, Father?

Why is the roof off?

- It was really quite cold last night.

- It was really freezing, so we used the roof

to make a fire down there on the ground.

- Made a fire?

Yes, there are the embers.

- Was it really that cold last night?

- Yes, very.

We were awfully chilly

but the fire we made warmed us right up.

Don't you agree, Ernst darling?

- Oh, sure, Anna. Certainly.

Well, I'm sleepy.

- Me too.

(Ernst and Anna laugh)

- What's funny?
