MOYA: [GASP]

See that, Moya?

Moya?

Moya, what is it?

Not good.

Not like.

Devil shell.

Very bad.

- DAVID ROBINSON: Well, it's. - Not going to hurt you, Moya.

- No, that... that's all right. - Uh, Billy.

Take it away.

Throw it back in the ocean.

ELIZABETH ROBINSON:

That's a good boy, Billy.

Is that better, Moya?

Emily.

CHRISTINA ROBINSON:

You're wearing pants.

JOANNA ROBINSON: You said

pants weren't dignified.

In China, many ladies

wear pants like this.

It's quite respectable.

- DAVID ROBINSON: - Well, now that you've.

- Gotten rid of your. - Skirts, you going.

To join us down at the beach?

I'll teach you how to

sail raft like I learn to.

No.

Thank you.

That's good.

Put here.

Now chop here and here.

So they fit together, right?

Yeah.

Then we tie it together.

DAVID ROBINSON: Excellent.

Joanna, hand me the ax, please.

Thank you.

[CHOPPING]

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

[GROWL]

Please, Joanna.

Can you tell me a bedtime

story like you used to at home?

Oh.

What story do you want?

The one about a sea monster.

Oh, Christina.

You'll have nightmares.

Oh, yes.

I know.

Please, Joanna?

Please?

Oh, all right.

Once upon a time, there was a

little girl called Christina

who lived on an island.

You mean me?

Yes, Christina, you.

Now keep quiet.

- This little girl. - Called Christina.

Lived on an island paradise.

How did she get there?

You know very well

how she got there.

Her family was shipwrecked.

Now don't keep

interrupting me, or we'll

never finish this story.

So one day, Christina

was swimming.

Was a mermaid there?

- JOANNA ROBINSON: Yes, - the mermaid was there.

What about the sea god?

- JOANNA ROBINSON: - Christina, will you.

Let me finish the story or not?

Sorry, Joanna.

JOANNA ROBINSON: All right.

Well, Christina was swimming

one day with the mermaid

when all of a

sudden, the sea god,

who looked like a huge monster,

rose from the waves and roared.

Now, the mermaid was

a really good swimmer,

and she managed to escape.

But Christina was too slow,

and got caught by the sea god

and pulled to the bottom of the

sea and tied up with seaweed.

Did she get rescued?

You'll find out if you listen.

So while Christina was at

the bottom of the sea...

Oh, that feels good.

Do you know you

have a permanent smile

on your face these days?

Oh, do I?

Yes.

Except when you're

frightening sharks or pirates.

- Well, except for. - Sharks and pirates,

It's not a bad life here, is it?

Well, I'm very happy here

in our little garden of Eden.

Well, so am I.

But what about the children?

The children?

Well, I just want them to

grow up straight and strong

and fearing nothing but God.

Hm.

But which God?

Christina is fascinated

by Moya's sea god stories.

And Ernst...

Oh, Ernst?

Well, he's just fascinated.

Ouch.

- ERNST ROBINSON (VOICEOVER): - My father was right.

I was fascinated.

We all were, except

Emily, whom I suspect

resented Moya's presence.

I also wondered if somehow

I was falling in love,

and if Moya shared

the same sentiment.

Before long, I was

to have my answer.

There, that's done.

- It's good. - Yes, it is.

ELIZABETH ROBINSON: Is that it?

Yes, my dear.

- You're just in time. - For the launching.

All right, everyone.

Give her a push!

[WATER SPLASHING]

Oh.

It floats.

Of course it floats.

Yes, darling.

Of course it floats.

Can we go to the reef?

No.

No one's going anywhere yet.

First, we must make paddles.

- DAVID ROBINSON: Yes, and. - Then we must practice.

Our swimming and diving.

It's very deep water out there.

Oh.

Do not worry,

little Christina.

- Moya teach you how. - To swim underwater.

Yes?

Oh, yes, please.

Emily too?

No.

No thank you.

- I'll stay on dry land. - With Mrs. Robinson.

Oh.

- Oh, you've done it! - Yes.

Linen thread.

Gosh, Mama.

You are clever.

- Well, we think. - So, don't we, Emily?

- Now I'll have to start. - Devising a loom to weave it.

- That shouldn't. - Be too difficult.

Oh, good!

And how have you got on today?

- How are they coming along, Moya? - Good.

Very good.

- Ah, they're all. - Swimming like fish.

Yes, and tomorrow we go reef.

Yay!

MEDICINE MAN:

JOANNA ROBINSON: That's it.

That's good.

Just let Moya do a little more.

It's like something or

someone inside my head.

It's gone now.

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

DAVID ROBINSON: Off we go.

Oh, Papa.

I wish you'd let me come.

Not this first time, darling.

Oh, but Mama,

we're not babies.

Are we, Billy?

I'm not.

Next time, Christina.

Not fair.

Life's never fair, Christina.

- Life is what you. - Make of it, Ernst.

- Is everyone ready? - Yes.

Yes.

Well, then let's go.

Come along now, Christina.

There's a good girl.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

[LAUGHING]

All right, stop.

I think this is the place.

Looks like it.

Joanna, drop your anchor.

Aye aye, Captain.

Plenty reef here.

I hope plenty ship as well.

[EERIE MUSIC]

- ERNST ROBINSON: She's been down. - There an awfully long time.

You don't think

anything's happened to her?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

- Moya. - You frightened us.

- Did you see the wreck? - No wreck.

DAVID ROBINSON: No sign at all?

Bad thing.

What bad thing?

Much danger.

Nothing down here for family.

We must go.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GRUNT]

[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

ELIZABETH ROBINSON: You know, I

used to do this with my mother,

except she didn't have to

start making it all herself.

No luck.

Moya says that the wreck has

broken up and washed away.

ERNST ROBINSON: And it's

too dangerous to dive.

Oh, what a shame.

After all that effort.

And Moya?

Well, I think she feels that

we've offended the sea god.

She's by the cliffs,

performing one of her rituals.

- CHRISTINA ROBINSON: - Oh, can I go see?

- ELIZABETH ROBINSON: - Christina, no.

CHRISTINA ROBINSON: I

want to see the sea god!

Christina, there is no

such thing as a sea god.

Yes, Papa.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Why you follow Moya?

I wanted to see you alone.

Jealous?

Jealous.

It means you're beautiful,

strong, a princess.

Yes.

I think bad things about you.

Yes.

Moya can feel.

But one day you be princes too.

I'm sorry about your boat.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Come.

I'll take you back.

You friend.

[BLOW PIPE]

Ah.

Emily.

[GROAN]

Emily.

[GRUNT]

She's sick.

[GRUNT]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Moya, is there

anything we can do?

- Do you know what. - The poison is?

Devil shell.

Is there an antidote?

A cure?

Moya?

Come.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Moya!

Devil shell.

Beyond the reef?

Devil shell take life

and give life back.

- Devil shell provides. - Its own antidote.

Make Emily better.

Isn't it too dangerous?

You said so yourself.

Moya go.

Emily friend.

[WATER SPLASHING]

I won't forget you, Moya.

MOYA: Come.

Goodbye.

- ERNST ROBINSON (VOICEOVER): - I was pleased that Moya.

Was reunited with Adu.

Goodbye.

ERNST ROBINSON (VOICEOVER):

As I watched them sail away,

I realized that for

all my infatuation

they truly loved each

other and belong together.

As I belonged on the

island with my family,

to whom I could always

turn for love, support,

and understanding,

which were always

there throughout my

life and the family's

adventures on the island.

But I will never forget Moya,

the princess from the sea.

THEME SONG: Time to

go, a ship is leaving.

No time for breathing,

life goes on.

Hm, ah.

When I see we're on

the same side fighting,

then it's time to leave.

Should have known how

the rain was falling.

Now we love so much more,

cause that's what life's for.

Get away.

Ah, ah.

We should get away.

This is the moment.

The day by day the

world will go away.

With you by my side,

I know what is right.

And I will stay with

you if you decide.

We should get away.

Get away.

Get away from it all.
