[ Psychedelic music plays ]
[ Indistinct yelling ]
Take her to the playroom.
[ Music continues ]
[ Coughs ]
Dee a good girl?
Yep.
Dee, are you
a very good girl?
[ Gasps ]
All right.
Junior, do that thing.
[ Telephone ringing ]
[ With Irish accent ]
Good morning,
and isn'’t it
a little beauty?
You have a nice voice.
Who are you?
I'’m Charles lightfoot.
Captain h. Charles lightfoot.
And this is
the kavala boat basin.
Now, what can I do for you?
I want to speak
to "big daddy" Sam moran,
please.
Okay. Hang on a minute.
Hey, Sam! Sam!
What?
Phone call.
Who is it?
How do I know who it is?!
Another one
of your flamin'’ dames.
Ha ha ha ha.
Sam moran.
Hello, big daddy.
Dee?
It'’s me...Dee in the sky.
All red and pretty
in the sky.
Dee, now, listen to me,
if you want me to,
i'’ll come and get you.
I'’ll come and pick you up.
It'’s late.
Little too late
to be worried now.
Pick me up?
I'’m up already.
I know where you are, too.
Right to where you'’re at.
Nowhere.
[ Man talking ]
Sam! Sam! Sam the man!
[ Indistinct talking ]
Man: The beach.
Who was it?
Dee.
She'’s in trouble.
She'’s a love.
She'’s been talkin'’
on the phone.
To whom?
Sam moran.
Tate, compatriot,
in our lovely world of play,
there is no such thing
as trouble.
No.
Junior gave her too much.
Then get the boat.
Hey, kimo,
if I was lookin'’
for a young girl,
maybe a party, somethin'’
goin'’ on from last night,
where would I look?
Sure, one bugger your age
still runnin'’ up the beach
lookin'’ for wahines.
It'’s Dee...May be trouble.
She still burn it up
with you?
There'’s a big luau at
rich banks'’ place last night.
Supposed to be full
with haoletourists though --
too square for her.
I heard they had some kind
of scene up there --
kryder'’s place,
the one up diamond head.
That'’s real upper valley
sick time, though.
That'’s the only ones
I know.
The other boys
know anything?
Ha ha. Sam,
if I Don'’t know it,
it ain'’t worth knowing.
Kryder'’s place --
the place on the water?
That'’s the one.
Mahalo.
Borrow the Jeep?
Don'’t spoil
the paintwork.
[ Engine turns over ]
Hey, brake her down, Sam!
That'’s a Jeep,
not a flamin'’ surfboard!
Mr. Kryder, i'’m sorry.
This man
just forced his way --
shut the door, Robert.
This issunday morning, sir.
I Don'’t think I know you,
and I can'’t imagine
what you'’re doing in my home.
I'’m Sam moran,
and i'’m looking
for a friend of mine.
I should think hotel street
would be a more likely
location than my house,
Mr. Moran.
A girl named Dee Carol.
What makes you think
of all the places
she might be in Honolulu
that she'’s here?
She was at a party.
There'’s been
no party here.
Buster...i would just as soon
start on you.
That so?
Well, if nothing will satisfy
you but to look around,
let'’s look around.
Sunday morning
cocoa breakfast --
a tradition in my family.
I won'’t bother
to introduce you.
You won'’t be here
that long.
This is Mr. Moran.
He stopped by to say hello.
One of the most
distasteful emotions
a human being can experience
is feeling silly.
It makes US small children
again, Don'’t you agree?
Well, this, I think,
ends the tour.
Are you satisfied?
Satisfied as dead.
You do have a sense
of the dramatic, Mr. Moran.
[ Tires screech ]
Get in!
Get in!
Sam, you filed
a missing persons
on Dee Carol
four days ago?
Get in.
Coast guard radioed
she'’d washed up
just a few minutes ago --
drowned.
Oh, my god.
Sam, was this girl
on the spike?
What?
I asked if she was on junk.
She'’s got chicken tracks
on both arms.
That'’s the haolekid
got herself full of "h"
and ended up in a morgue.
What'’s she to you?
Sam, you leave this one
to the cops.
I want any names you got
might possibly be connected
with this kind of action.
I Don'’t know anything
for sure.
Guess!
Sam, you got
any other information?
Nothin'’ that works.
I'’ll ask around.
Kailua!
I Don'’t like
to lay this on you...
But you owe me.
I know.
[ Sighs ]
Yeah.
Go take care
of your customers.
[ Children laughing ]
[ Siren wails ]
Okay...who?
Uh!
Oh.
[ Sighs ]
I didn'’t see '’em.
You been followin'’ me.
How come
you didn'’t see '’em?
Yeah, I been watchin'’ you.
I Don'’t know
what Dee Carol is to you,
but you got
to leave it alone.
It'’s police business.
Gil, I told you,
whoever did that to Dee,
i'’m gonna find out.
I'’m gonna find who.
Ah!
[ Coughs ]
Ah!
Okay. Try and move it.
Try and move it.
I tell you what,
I have a little time off.
I'’ll drive you around,
and we'’ll ask questions.
Oh, hell, Gil,
you know that won'’t work.
Nobody talks to a cop.
Nobody talks to housebreakers
up at kryder'’s.
That'’s a dumb thing.
They got lots
of juice up there.
You got no way
to prove anything.
You'’re my good, old,
long-time friend,
but that'’s
a damn dumb thing, Sam.
Coconut wiley'’s?
Gee, you stay out of it.
Gil, i'’m gonna know the
bastards who did that to Dee.
She could'’ve fallen.
She could'’ve walked in.
There'’s no sign
she was pushed.
The autopsy said
she drowned.
And there'’s
no evidence yet
how she got full
of that water.
She was also full
of heroin.
Man, you'’re hooked yourself.
On what, I Don'’t know.
But i'’m gonna put you away
for a while
unless you stay out of it.
Just stay out!
Hey, lolo,
where the hell do you think
that girl came from?
Dee Carol was my daughter,
and i'’m in...
All the way in.
Well, pardon me
if I watch, braddah.
Got to know when to pick
that dumb head of yours
out of the alley again.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
[ No audio ]
[ Carnival music plays ]
How'’s luck?
Good here.
Kind of bad for you,
though, huh?
It was no accident
for Dee drown like that.
Just like
it wasn'’t no accident
for them bust up your head
like that.
I Don'’t know.
How do you know?
Talk.
Not enough talk
to help you yet,
but no sweat.
I'’m listening real good
all the time.
Kimo...
Mahalo.
Hey, now,
these guys play real rough.
Now, you Don'’t get yourself
busted up, huh?
Want you
to listen real good.
Listen?
Why you gotta ask?
I'’m the best.
I work the best for you.
Sheeee!
Sam moran.
This is kunewa.
Yeah, you said
you'’d be watching.
Sam, get the hell
down to the basin.
Your boat'’s on fire.
[ Sirens wail ]
Who is it?
It'’s Charlie.
Kunewa: He tried to take
an extinguisher.
That'’s when
he heard the explosion.
Looks like burnt lungs --
smoke inhalation.
Charlie.
Charlie, you damn fool.
[ Panting ]
Damn fool yourself.
You--you wouldn'’t have
tried to save it?
Ha ha. You would have, Sam.
If you'’d have been there.
Well, I had --
I was there.
Let me be. Let me be!
Sam, what --
Charlie, we got to get you
to a hospital!
No. No, I won'’t.
Let me off.
Charlie, at least
you gotta see a doctor!
I ain'’t --
I ain'’t gonna die
in no hospital.
I know I --
I ain'’t gonna make it.
But, Sam, get me
on me boat.
I want to go home to kona.
Sam...mate...help me!
All right, Charlie.
All right.
Put him and the oxygen
on his boat.
Move him...Now!
Well, they burned my boat.
Anybody see who it was?
Not a sign.
Nobody, Sam.
Can you handle that?
Can I --
I can handle anything.
You get out of town.
Call me
at akamai Barnes -- kona.
[ Siren wails ]
Grab the tiller from you
right now.
Sam.
Sam, you'’re gonna make
them kids work for you.
They'’re mean,
and they'’re tough,
but they'’re good.
Willie and dino --
that skinny, little
Hawaiian gully rat --
and pocho.
Sam, that big broad'’s
only 16.
Make a free dive --
85 feet,
got a black belt --
judo and karate.
Beautiful.
[ Panting ]
Well...what about
your daughter?
What about her?
Ah, sorry, Sam.
Okay, Charlie...
Knock it off.
Her mother, Mary --
she made me promise.
I promised
I wouldn'’t tell you.
All right, Charlie,
you did what you promised.
When her time came,
she went back to the village.
She had the baby,
she died.
When did you find out
it was Dee?
About a year ago --
from a fat slob of a b-girl
who ran one of those joints
down on Smith street.
Cute little kid came in there
to audition for a job
in that pigpen.
And she picked on me
to make a pass at her.
The madam leaned over
and whispered in my ear,
"more better
you Don'’t touch that kind."
I looked at her.
She said, "that'’s
your daughter, haole."
So, I went over to the kid,
and I said, "i'’m Sam moran,
and I guess we oughta talk."
She looked up at me,
and she said,
"so, you'’resam moran?"
And she spit
right in my face.
And after that,
the relationship deteriorated.
How do you feel?
I'’m gonna die
when I get home,
but I feel pretty good.
[ Gasps ]
I'’d feel a lot better
if you'’d stop
cuttin'’ up the nets
so you can get
at the bad guys.
But you ain'’t gonna do
nothin'’ like that.
Hell, no.
Let her go!
How do you feel?
Oh, I feel great,
but I could use Dr. Mack
right now.
I radioed.
He'’s waiting on the beach
with an ambulance.
All right.
Let'’s move him.
Hit it hard!
Charlie?
You all right, Charlie?
Charlie?!
Charlie,
are you all right?!
Leave it alone!
Who the hell are you?
Sam moran.
Who the hell are you?
Kittibelle Clark,
his sister.
Take him to the ambulance.
You better get your trucks
off the blocks.
You better come along.
Somebody burned my boat.
He tried to save it.
I think his lungs
are blistered.
You look strong enough
to help. Come on.
Now, give me the rest of it.
Your business?
Anybody who gets off my boat
with a fresh scar over
one eye is my business.
Yourboat?
I own half of it.
Charlie and I have been
partners for a lot of years.
He'’s been a good partner,
even though he does barbecue
the books once in a while.
And I own this place.
The refuge.
Now youtalk.
He wants to talk
to you both.
Make it snappy.
Okay.
Sam....
You, too, kittibelle.
I'’m puttin'’ him
in charge of the alika
as captain
till I get back.
Why?
Because he'’s a better sailor
than I am,
and you two
deserve each other.
That'’s why.
Now, get me out of here.
You better drive
with me to town.
I'’ll drop you off
at akamai Barnes.
He knows more about
what to do about what than...
Well, he'’ll know.
How is he,
kittibelle?
Not good.
Did Charlie have
any unfinished business?
Some.
I'’ll handle it.
Tell himabout it.
Akamai.
That woman
ever say please?
Yes, in a way.
Charlie gonna make it?
The last time I saw you,
you were full
of gorgeous women.
Now you look like hell.
I know all the reasons.
Kunewa phoned me.
Let'’s get a drink.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
Knock it off!
Knock it --
no! No!
I told you last night...
One negrito, double.
Don'’t fool around with it.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
Captain Sam!
Aloha,sue.
Jim, take care of this,
will you, please?
So?
Charlie'’s gotta shape up.
Kittibelle needs the money
for that refuge of hers.
She didn'’t always
need the money for it.
As soon as
she breaks even with it,
she takes on a couple
of more alcoholics
that need a drying out.
You know, not more than half
those guests up there
pay their own way?
Is she countin'’ on that boat
to make up the deficit?
She caters a luau
now and again
back there up in those
black lava mountains.
Sometimes that helps, but
the boat takes up the slack.
Kunewa says
you'’re not convinced
that Dee just walked
into the surf and drowned.
Do you think it was murder?
Yeah, I think.
Well, maybe the dent
in your head is connected.
And the burned boat.
Now Charlie.
Whatever
the bloody connection is,
there gotta be some
lovely characters involved...
And i'’m gonna have them.
My phd in anthropology
and my 11 years professorship
in sociology
never truly prepared me
for the likes of you.
Pathological, primeval,
bloody Sam.
How in hell you manage
to live that rich, full life
locked up in that jungle,
destruction of body and soul,
beats me.
You'’re a fascinating cat,
captain,
with an infinite gift
for collecting enemies.
You know, if you just
stay out of town,
our friend kunewa
is convinced
he can wrap up
the situation.
And i'’m inclined
to agree with him.
Kunewa says
the whole thing might break
right here in kona.
Akamai. Akamai!
I just missed kittibelle
at the refuge.
Where is she?
The hospital
with Charlie.
I was afraid of that.
Is it serious?
I'’m afraid so.
Oh.
I Don'’t know.
Dr. Hyde.
Sam.
Sam the man.
I declare.
I simply refuse to faint.
I'’ve given up
being carried out of bars.
Akamai,
i'’ll be at the refuge.
Call me if you need me.
I knew if I waited
around here long enough,
i'’d find you.
You found me.
Yes.
You split your head open...
Again.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
So it'’s gonna break
right here in kona?
The eminent and exquisite
doctor of marine biology
still has trouble
about you.
My god.
Sam.
I think
you oughta stay here.
But this minute,
a lot more,
I wish to hell
you'’d go away.
Charlie'’s make...
Dead.
We better talk.
Want a drink?
I spent 20 years of my life
crawling into the bottle.
Charlie pulled me out,
inch by inch,
and it wasn'’t easy.
I loved Charlie...
But he used to clip me.
Yeah.
Kittibelle.
I'’m...
I'’m really sorry.
Mahalo.
You got a ticket
for drivin'’ boats?
Any ocean, any time.
Charlie left you his half
of the alika.
I Don'’t want it.
Why not?
Charlie paid $30,000
for that thing.
That thingcost $30,000
in 1932.
It'’s too small
to be a cargo ship,
it'’s too clumsy
to fish with,
and the passenger
accommodations
would discourage
an arab camel driver.
Charlie made a good livin'’
out of it.
What Charlie told me,
he made a livin'’
on that bucket
in ways that would chill
the heart
of a Chinese assassin.
I'’ve got eight guests
in my place.
It'’ll fall apart if
that boat Don'’t support '’em.
Yeah.
Want you to...
Support your place...
Properly.
There it is.
Now you own it all!
I can'’t take care
of that tub myself!
Buy yourself
a skipper somewhere.
Let him push it.
Stay around long enough
to train one of the boys
to take it.
Charlie had a house
at the refuge.
It goes with the deal.
Akamai, will you tell her
i'’ve got plans
that Don'’t include
ladies with tired boats?!
Sam.
Akamai!
If I wanted a bag full
of other people'’s troubles,
i'’d go to the mainland!
Sam, have you got
one real lead? One?
No!
He asked me if he could have
a real Hawaiian burial.
He wanted you to take him.
You and tiger cat.
Tiger cat?
Tiger cat Clark.
My nephew.
A real Hawaiian funeral?
Well now, that'’s very nice
of him, isn'’t it, junior?
So, he'’s staying down there
at least until tomorrow?
Well now, I think
we can find a witty way
to prolong his stay
even further.
I'’d like to see
Sam the man again.
He'’d make such a marvelous
main event at a luau.
Reserve the refuge
long house for a week.
Yes, I think a luau
would be fun.
A full week, yes.
I'’ll send Tate down
to help you gather talent.
Oh, we'’ll bring some of
our very best from here, too.
Don'’t worry, junior,
and i'’ll fly down tomorrow.
Goodbye.
What are you foolin'’
with him for?
He'’s broke,
his boat'’s burned.
He'’s out of it.
Sam moran won'’t be out of it
until he'’s dead.
He'’s a special one,
compatriot.
We Don'’t get the chance
to play with that kind
very often.
Ha ha ha.
[ Ukulele music plays ]
[ Men singing in Hawaiian ]
[ Music and singing stop ]
[ Engine stops ]
[ Drum beats ]
Charlie...
You were
a real blue-water sailor man...
A laughing, lying pirate...
Damn good man to drink with...
And a friend.
[ Speaking Hawaiian ]
[ Horn blowing ]
Aloha,charlie.
All right,
I wanna circle it.
Willie, take the wheel.
Pocho, help Earl.
[ Engine turns over ]
[ Ukulele music plays ]
Woman: [ Screaming ]
Ahhhhhh!
Junior,
you stop it right now,
you stupid ox!
Don'’t go that way!
Stop it! Ahhhh!
Ahhhh, stop it!
Stop it! Ahhhh!
Help!
Ahhhhhh!
Help!!
Ahh!
Ahoy, the whaler.
This is thealika.
We'’re having
a little trouble.
Can you give US a hand?
Hey! I can'’t swim!
Throw him a rope
and tow him!
Ahhh!
You lousy apes!
I'’ve had it!
Ha ha ha! Hey, mim,
come on back over here.
We'’ll, uh,
we'’ll take you to the luau.
We can have plenty more fun
over there.
Go to hell!
Hey, please take me
on your boat.
I tried to tell them
there was some ceremony,
but they wouldn'’t listen.
Ooh.
Here I am, and am I through
with that party.
Hey, listen,
please take me aboard.
My name is mim.
Short for Miriam.
Miriam lowry.
We got good wind.
Oh, boy, that team.
Oh, i'’m tellin'’ you,
I could'’ve handled him.
I mean, alone,
but not together.
And boy, that seems
to be the general idea.
Wanna go back
for your toothbrush?
No. I have some money
in Honolulu,
and if you'’ll take me
someplace happy,
i'’ll send for it.
Kailua kona, that'’s happy.
Want your clothes?
Hmm. I didn'’t bring much
to the boat.
They can have them.
In kailua,
there'’s a place run by
akamai Barnes.
He'’s over there
on that aku boat.
You go in his place,
he'’s got a hatrack there.
Put your hair ribbon
on his hatrack,
and he'’ll stake you
till your money comes.
You'’re nice, Mr...
Sam moran.
You think i'’m a tramp,
captain?
Hadn'’t thought about it yet.
Kailua?
Okay. Kailua.
Kumu!
Booby!
All right, booby,
there'’s your tinkertoy.
Drop your teething ring
and go home!
Interesting specimen,
captain.
Stand by your lines.
Thank you, Sam.
That was just right.
But it ain'’t right
if you Don'’t take
your half of the alika.
Kittibelle, i'’ve got
business in Honolulu.
You'’ve got
unfinished business here.
That aku boat can pay good.
Don'’t run out on me, Sam.
Charlie used to say
that if the money was right,
you'’d transport
pink giraffes
and a load
of Hungarian acrobats
all they way
from here to new Guinea.
And if the engines quit,
you'’d swim her there
with a bowline
in your teeth.
No.
I got just time to catch
that 4:10 airplane.
Kittibelle, goodbye.
You got just time
for second thoughts, Sam.
That 4:10 Don'’t run
to Honolulu anymore.
You'’re stuck here
till morning.
Oh?
You callin'’ me a liar?
You think
I cut that service
just to keep
your beautiful body here?
Go check for yourself.
If you were gonna take
a grateful girl
out to dinner,
where would you take her?
Akamai Barnes.
Do, um, do you think
akamai'’s credit
might extend
to a new--new dress?
Bat your eyes at him.
Ha ha. Okay.
Yahoo!
[ Light rock music plays ]
Welcome,
welcome, thrice welcome.
Hee hee hee.
Wow! This is quite
a little rest home.
That'’s quite a dress.
Well, I hung up
my hair ribbon
like you told me to.
And along came akamai.
I batted my eyes at him.
I need a Mai Tai.
Willie!
Oh mau mau,
a hoka mau ooh!
Mai Tai!
Mai Tai!
I heard you
the first time. Mai Tai.
Mai Tai.
Mai Tai.
Mmm.
That'’s good.
Liquor makes me
lose control completely.
Yay! Whoo!
Yay!
[ Music continues ]
It'’s an Irish wake.
Tailgate
to a jazzman'’s funeral --
Hawaiian style.
Ho'’olewa
for Charlie lightfoot.
Doris.
Akamai!
Hey, akamai!
Hey!
When did they cancel
the 4:10 flight to Honolulu?
Last month.
Johnny got a charter?
Everything'’s working.
There won'’t be a plane
in here
till tomorrow morning
at 7:30 A.M.
"Everything'’s working."
That'’s real akamai.
Real smart.
With any luck,
you can get back to killing
yourself tomorrow morning.
Hey!
Are they allhis?
Probably.
I'’ve seen him come in
after a weeks'’ fishing,
standing on the docks,
sleepy as a lizard,
with that planter'’s hat
on the back his head.
In two minutes,
some gal will pat
her boyfriend on the head
and come over to Sam
to play with the grown-ups.
But you know all that.
Oh, yes.
I hope so.
Doris: Akamai, telephone.
Want a drink?
Nope. Finally licked
the demon rum,
thanks to kittibelle
and her band of dried-out
angels at the refuge.
I'’m not putting her down,
mind you.
If it wasn'’t for
kittibelle lightfoot Clark,
I wouldn'’t even keep trying.
Mmm. Negrito.
[ Imitating Sam ]
No fool around.
Ha ha ha.
You know, I Don'’t want you
to think
i'’m bragging or anything,
but I can actually sit here
after all these years,
right next to you,
and not shake so much
I spill your drink.
So, take that,
Mr. Cock-a-doodle-doo.
Go flap your wings
and crow.
Hey.
Good for you.
Join the floor show.
No, thanks.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha!
[ Laughing ]
Come on!
Don'’t waste your time.
I Don'’t blend
with your native collection
any better than I did
five years ago.
And god knows, I tried then.
I told you before,
I am a vulgar specimen!
And you are a sad,
useless, nothing broad!
Sheeee!
The last time I saw
that look on Sam'’s face,
one of my customers
was wearing his teeth
for a lavaliere.
What happened?
Kittibelle just phoned.
Says she has an order
for a big luau.
You know, preparations.
Asked me to drive you over
if you wanted to go.
Yes, I would like to.
No, I will not.
Thank you.
You'’ve got
the biggest mouth
and the loosest lip
of anyone
in the south pacific.
Come here, stupid.
What'’s buggin'’ him?
I Don'’t know.
Guess I better find out.
No, i'’m not gonna tell you.
If she wants you to know,
she'’ll tell you herself.
All i'’m tellin'’ you
is that'’s a good girl,
and she'’s hurting.
So, you walk softly,
mister.
Ugh!
Come on.
Sure, boss.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha.
Aw, Sam, Sam, Sam.
[ Gasps ]
I'’ve got a marvelous,
new idea.
Come on.
Let'’s have a beach picnic.
We can sit there
and eat and drink things.
You know,
i'’ve got a big idea
that tomorrow'’s gonna bring
me a man-sized hangover.
Oh, you are a lovely man.
You'’re number-one,
10-karat, lovely man.
Mmm.
Sam...there'’s something
I need to know.
Shoot.
Is there a Mrs. Moran
around and about?
Well, for a girl
who plays it loose,
you'’re talking
pretty square.
Okay. So I swing.
But there'’s something
i'’m trying
to make my mind up about,
so...so answer.
No. There isn'’t...
But there was.
And for now,
that'’s enough.
Okay.
Hmm.
Maybe i'’ll see you later.
Maybe.
[ Gasps ]
You'’re getting a little
off-course, tramp.
I want out...
Now.
And I want the captain
at the luau...
By tomorrow.
Just the way I planned.
Then I want him
happy and relaxed
with you by his side
at a marvelous party.
No.
[ Crying ] No!
Now, you know how much worse
it can get than that.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
How is it, kitti?
Hi, red.
How are you?
Rome negrito.
Put the bottle on the bar.
You like drink soda?
No, I like get drunk.
Sheeee!
Damn! Heh heh heh.

Dr. Hyde:
Translation please?
But no one will look
into your eyes
because
you have died forever.
Epitaph for lost love.
Very loose translation
of federico garcía lorca.
I Don'’t know what lost love
you'’re rhyming to...
But I haven'’t died yet.
[ Sighs ]
Not quiteyet.
Dr. Hyde.
Melissa.
What do you think
you found there, boy?
Why, you little bugger!
Hey, get that kid!
Captain Sam!
Captain Sam!
He'’s not here.
What'’s wrong?
Why you like
captain Sam?
Those buggers
bust up his head --
they over there.
I got proof.
[ Crowd grumbles ]
Let'’s walk,
talk a little bit, pal.
[ Crying ]
Oh, no! No!
It'’s just the way
it was before.
No, I --
it'’s so beautiful
making love.
With you...It'’s something...
Something goes wrong.
Well, words tore it
the first time,
you wanna try for two?
Help, Sam. Help.
You may be the same.
I'’m notthe same.
What do you think i'’ve been
since you?
It damn well hasn'’t been
one big five-year
marine biological survey.
I'’ve loved a man since you.
I married him.
And then, one day,
he killed himself.
[ Crying ]
I'’ve been trying,
unsuccessfully,
to kill myself
ever since then.
Oh, Sam.
I'’ve waked up in drunk tanks
choking on my own vomit.
I tried to dry out...
Only to wake up
in a straitjacket
somewhere else.
Oh, please, god.
I'’m worn out trying to make
the world turn out right...
The way I think
it ought to be.
That'’s the way it was
with US, Sam.
It can'’t be.
It'’s gotta stop.
I destroy everything.
[ Crying ]
Hey.
Hey!
You think you'’re alone?
Oh, Sam.
[ Applause ]
Ha ha ha ha!
Oh, beautiful.
Brilliant performance.
Did you tell her?
Oh, he'’s a real good
kisser, doc,
but wait till he gets
to the part about his wife.
Ah!
Ahhhh!
Stop it!
Damn you! You think
you can solve every problem
with a punch or a grab
or a shove!
Ah!
Willie:
Hey, check this out.
Kimo, what the hell
are you doin'’ here?
I brought you a present.
Came down kailua.
Worked for two haoles,
gonna make big luau over here.
I figure
that'’s the two buggers
bust your head
and burn your boat.
I was good cabin boy
till I find that
they cockaroach from you.
How'’s that proof, huh?
Kimo, you lolo,
little shunka.
You all right?
Fine. Fine.
Where are they?
Over there.
Tiger...
Take care of this.
All right.
Now let US reason
with these gentlemen.
Ahhhh!
I'’m tired of playin'’
dunk the skunk!
Now, who sent
you water babies?!
Go to hell!
[ Speaking Hawaiian ]
[ Speaking
Hawaiian ]
Move him up and down
up here a little. Oh, fun.
You'’re gonna --
you'’re gonna drown him.
You infected shark gut.
You clobbered me
in an alley,
you burnt my boat,
you murdered
Charlie lightfoot --
I know rotten well
you did that --
and you peeled
this kid'’s face
when he found the proof!
Now!
[ Screaming ]
Ahhhhh!
Let me see him!
Bring him over here!
[ Groaning ]
Hurry up.
That'’s enough.
Right there.
Now.
Who hired you --
the same bastard
that spiked Dee Carol?
Who put the needles
in that girl?
[ Groaning ]
Tell him, Tate!
Tell him!
Shut up, damn fool!
Kryder!
Kryder did it.
That lousy faggot!
He made US --
he made US do it.
All right. All right.
Let him down.
Put him down.
[ Laughter ]
Party boy kryder.
So he'’s graduated
to dope, heh?
Sam, he'’s the one
who ordered the luau
at kittibelle'’s.
Luau to end all luaus,
i'’ll bet.
Give those two to the cops,
and let kunewa know.
And what are you gonna
be doing in the meantime?
Goin'’ to a luau.
Dino!
Tiger.
You and dino get the alika
ready to move.
[ Sighs ]
Well, how do you
get so lucky on your dates?
Oh, god, Sam. I'’m sorry.
I was supposed to bring you
to that luau.
That was the deal
for 500 bucks.
The things a girl
has to do these days
to make some bread.
Honest, Sam,
I thought it was some kind
of practical joke.
That--that kryder fellow --
he makes a career out
of playing people
through his sick
party games. It --
it scares me to death.
Don'’t go, Sam.
Get on the boat.
Go on!
Well, there you have it.
I have a great talent
for destruction.
Goes back a long way,
and some of it'’s rubbed off
on a lot of other people.
Then Don'’t go
this other round.
No more games.
Sometimes
i'’m lucky at games.
Sam.
Is it really necessary,
reallynecessary,
that you march up
on that beach
and with your own two hands,
take care of this fellow?
I mean, can'’t you
just turn him over
to the authorities? No. No.
I know that'’s not --
no!!!
Whatever
you'’re gonna say, no.
Now, one time, let'’s you
and me understand it.
You Don'’t like me
the way I am.
Lady, that'’s a cryin'’ shame.
But i'’m just about
what you see.
I'’m Sam moran.
And what I am says
I Don'’t like people
that put lumps on my head,
I Don'’t like people
that burn my boat,
I Don'’t like people pushin'’
junk on kids for fun,
and most of all,
I Don'’t like those kids dyin'’.
What I am says
I will look for those people
as long as I am able.
And when and if I find them,
I will hurt them!
Did it ever occur to you
that you'’re probably
the most self-centered,
self-indulgent,
self-destructive --
ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
[ Laughing ] Yeah!
Yeah!
[ Laughing ]
Oh, Sam.
Oh, yes, lord.
Yes.
Ha ha ha ha!
You!
You are kumu.
You'’re pesky, but kumu.
What does that mean?
Kumu?
Well, when they call
a woman that?
They?
When a man says that
to a woman,
what does it mean?
When isay that to a woman,
it means I think
she is some hunk of woman.
Kumu.
But pesky. Yes.
Yeah.
All right,
look alive down there.
Let'’s get the skiff
in the water. Now.
Come on, Hawaiian.
Let'’s go get
some white meat.
[ Hula music plays ]
Kittibelle: Why, Sam,
you old sea scum!
What are you doin'’ here?
Hi.
I was invited.
Who invited you?
I'’ll be damned.
I thought you were comin'’
to talk sense
about runnin'’ your half
of the alika.
By the way, where is she?
She floundered
on the way down.
We pressed on regardless
in the skiff.
Don'’t worry.
Crew'’s gonna salvage
everything off it it can.
Oh, come on, Sam.
Well, anyway, you'’re here,
and i'’ll do the talkin'’.
We'’ll be partners yet.
Kittibelle,
what in hell is that?
I ain'’t never catered
a luau like thatbefore.
Where is mine host
kryder?
God only knows.
The last time I saw him,
he was putting up
those, uh, black-light
projectors in the lava cave.
He said it was
for the luau -- night shift.
Come on, kids.
Melissa, comb your hair
and get the salt
off your face.
Come on in, too,
would you, Sam?
Come on and talk to me.
Wooooh!
Ahhhhhh!
You ever hear of a burial,
captain?
Or a good, fast car?
How was your trip
on the water, captain?
Kryder: Captain Sam...
I'’m going to make up
for the chilly reception
at my home in Honolulu.
It'’s true you have a gift
for headlong party crashing,
but you'’re invited this time.
Enjoy...sam.
And we'’ll take you
to the leader of the games.
Man: Come on!
Ugghhh!
[ Man choking ]
Kryder: Come on.
No, no, no.
You'’re going
the wrong way, Sam.
I must say, you have
a marvelous-looking crew
down there on the beach.
And what a charming touch
of strategy
to bring them in
from the rear.
Parked thealika
in some discreet little bay,
and played surprise, surprise.
Well, that was fun back there.
Good thinking
on all your parts.
But we are the best
in the game -- you and I.
Don'’t you agree?
Captain?
You'’re lost, I believe.
Lost in the witch'’s forest,
like hansel without any crumbs.
Wooooosh!
Wooooosh!
Am I satisfying your sense
of the dramatic, Mr. Moran?
Just follow
the little green speakers.
It'’s not possible
that Sam moran is lost?
What are you up to, Sam?
You surely must know
where I am.
Oh, and Don'’t worry.
You won'’t miss a thing.
My luau won'’t really
be exciting until sundown.
The light show
is only effective...
After...dark.
When was the light
most effective on Dee?
It was a party, Sam!
I can'’t keep track of everyone
who comes aboard
for one of my parties!!
You threw
that kid'’s life away
for a party?!
Now, mother, come to me.
Ah, ah, ah.
[ Laughter ]
I called kunewa.
He'’ll fly down
and take kryder
and the packer boys
in tow at kailua.
[ Hula music plays ]
I planned a luau,
and damn it,
we'’re gonna have a luau!
Oh, it was
a glorious fight, Sam,
and you'’re still alive.
How come?
Ha ha!
Yes, what happened?
I was scared stiff you'’d
massacred the lot of them.
We'’d have to lock you up
in jail for life.
Don'’t tell me Sam moran
is a changed man?
Akamai.
God forbid.
Ha ha ha.
[ Music continues ]
[ Thunder crashes ]
Hey!!
[ Laughter ]
[ Psychedelic music plays ]
[ Indistinct yelling ]
Take her to the playroom.
[ Music continues ]
[ Coughs ]
Dee a good girl?
Yep.
Dee, are you
a very good girl?
[ Gasps ]
All right.
Junior, do that thing.
[ Telephone ringing ]
[ With Irish accent ]
Good morning,
and isn'’t it
a little beauty?
You have a nice voice.
Who are you?
I'’m Charles lightfoot.
Captain h. Charles lightfoot.
And this is
the kavala boat basin.
Now, what can I do for you?
I want to speak
to "big daddy" Sam moran,
please.
Okay. Hang on a minute.
Hey, Sam! Sam!
What?
Phone call.
Who is it?
How do I know who it is?!
Another one
of your flamin'’ dames.
Ha ha ha ha.
Sam moran.
Hello, big daddy.
Dee?
It'’s me...Dee in the sky.
All red and pretty
in the sky.
Dee, now, listen to me,
if you want me to,
i'’ll come and get you.
I'’ll come and pick you up.
It'’s late.
Little too late
to be worried now.
Pick me up?
I'’m up already.
I know where you are, too.
Right to where you'’re at.
Nowhere.
[ Man talking ]
Sam! Sam! Sam the man!
[ Indistinct talking ]
Man: The beach.
Who was it?
Dee.
She'’s in trouble.
She'’s a love.
She'’s been talkin'’
on the phone.
To whom?
Sam moran.
Tate, compatriot,
in our lovely world of play,
there is no such thing
as trouble.
No.
Junior gave her too much.
Then get the boat.
Hey, kimo,
if I was lookin'’
for a young girl,
maybe a party, somethin'’
goin'’ on from last night,
where would I look?
Sure, one bugger your age
still runnin'’ up the beach
lookin'’ for wahines.
It'’s Dee...May be trouble.
She still burn it up
with you?
There'’s a big luau at
rich banks'’ place last night.
Supposed to be full
with haoletourists though --
too square for her.
I heard they had some kind
of scene up there --
kryder'’s place,
the one up diamond head.
That'’s real upper valley
sick time, though.
That'’s the only ones
I know.
The other boys
know anything?
Ha ha. Sam,
if I Don'’t know it,
it ain'’t worth knowing.
Kryder'’s place --
the place on the water?
That'’s the one.
Mahalo.
Borrow the Jeep?
Don'’t spoil
the paintwork.
[ Engine turns over ]
Hey, brake her down, Sam!
That'’s a Jeep,
not a flamin'’ surfboard!
Mr. Kryder, i'’m sorry.
This man
just forced his way --
shut the door, Robert.
This issunday morning, sir.
I Don'’t think I know you,
and I can'’t imagine
what you'’re doing in my home.
I'’m Sam moran,
and i'’m looking
for a friend of mine.
I should think hotel street
would be a more likely
location than my house,
Mr. Moran.
A girl named Dee Carol.
What makes you think
of all the places
she might be in Honolulu
that she'’s here?
She was at a party.
There'’s been
no party here.
Buster...i would just as soon
start on you.
That so?
Well, if nothing will satisfy
you but to look around,
let'’s look around.
Sunday morning
cocoa breakfast --
a tradition in my family.
I won'’t bother
to introduce you.
You won'’t be here
that long.
This is Mr. Moran.
He stopped by to say hello.
One of the most
distasteful emotions
a human being can experience
is feeling silly.
It makes US small children
again, Don'’t you agree?
Well, this, I think,
ends the tour.
Are you satisfied?
Satisfied as dead.
You do have a sense
of the dramatic, Mr. Moran.
[ Tires screech ]
Get in!
Get in!
Sam, you filed
a missing persons
on Dee Carol
four days ago?
Get in.
Coast guard radioed
she'’d washed up
just a few minutes ago --
drowned.
Oh, my god.
Sam, was this girl
on the spike?
What?
I asked if she was on junk.
She'’s got chicken tracks
on both arms.
That'’s the haolekid
got herself full of "h"
and ended up in a morgue.
What'’s she to you?
Sam, you leave this one
to the cops.
I want any names you got
might possibly be connected
with this kind of action.
I Don'’t know anything
for sure.
Guess!
Sam, you got
any other information?
Nothin'’ that works.
I'’ll ask around.
Kailua!
I Don'’t like
to lay this on you...
But you owe me.
I know.
[ Sighs ]
Yeah.
Go take care
of your customers.
[ Children laughing ]
[ Siren wails ]
Okay...who?
Uh!
Oh.
[ Sighs ]
I didn'’t see '’em.
You been followin'’ me.
How come
you didn'’t see '’em?
Yeah, I been watchin'’ you.
I Don'’t know
what Dee Carol is to you,
but you got
to leave it alone.
It'’s police business.
Gil, I told you,
whoever did that to Dee,
i'’m gonna find out.
I'’m gonna find who.
Ah!
[ Coughs ]
Ah!
Okay. Try and move it.
Try and move it.
I tell you what,
I have a little time off.
I'’ll drive you around,
and we'’ll ask questions.
Oh, hell, Gil,
you know that won'’t work.
Nobody talks to a cop.
Nobody talks to housebreakers
up at kryder'’s.
That'’s a dumb thing.
They got lots
of juice up there.
You got no way
to prove anything.
You'’re my good, old,
long-time friend,
but that'’s
a damn dumb thing, Sam.
Coconut wiley'’s?
Gee, you stay out of it.
Gil, i'’m gonna know the
bastards who did that to Dee.
She could'’ve fallen.
She could'’ve walked in.
There'’s no sign
she was pushed.
The autopsy said
she drowned.
And there'’s
no evidence yet
how she got full
of that water.
She was also full
of heroin.
Man, you'’re hooked yourself.
On what, I Don'’t know.
But i'’m gonna put you away
for a while
unless you stay out of it.
Just stay out!
Hey, lolo,
where the hell do you think
that girl came from?
Dee Carol was my daughter,
and i'’m in...
All the way in.
Well, pardon me
if I watch, braddah.
Got to know when to pick
that dumb head of yours
out of the alley again.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
[ No audio ]
[ Carnival music plays ]
How'’s luck?
Good here.
Kind of bad for you,
though, huh?
It was no accident
for Dee drown like that.
Just like
it wasn'’t no accident
for them bust up your head
like that.
I Don'’t know.
How do you know?
Talk.
Not enough talk
to help you yet,
but no sweat.
I'’m listening real good
all the time.
Kimo...
Mahalo.
Hey, now,
these guys play real rough.
Now, you Don'’t get yourself
busted up, huh?
Want you
to listen real good.
Listen?
Why you gotta ask?
I'’m the best.
I work the best for you.
Sheeee!
Sam moran.
This is kunewa.
Yeah, you said
you'’d be watching.
Sam, get the hell
down to the basin.
Your boat'’s on fire.
[ Sirens wail ]
Who is it?
It'’s Charlie.
Kunewa: He tried to take
an extinguisher.
That'’s when
he heard the explosion.
Looks like burnt lungs --
smoke inhalation.
Charlie.
Charlie, you damn fool.
[ Panting ]
Damn fool yourself.
You--you wouldn'’t have
tried to save it?
Ha ha. You would have, Sam.
If you'’d have been there.
Well, I had --
I was there.
Let me be. Let me be!
Sam, what --
Charlie, we got to get you
to a hospital!
No. No, I won'’t.
Let me off.
Charlie, at least
you gotta see a doctor!
I ain'’t --
I ain'’t gonna die
in no hospital.
I know I --
I ain'’t gonna make it.
But, Sam, get me
on me boat.
I want to go home to kona.
Sam...mate...help me!
All right, Charlie.
All right.
Put him and the oxygen
on his boat.
Move him...Now!
Well, they burned my boat.
Anybody see who it was?
Not a sign.
Nobody, Sam.
Can you handle that?
Can I --
I can handle anything.
You get out of town.
Call me
at akamai Barnes -- kona.
[ Siren wails ]
Grab the tiller from you
right now.
Sam.
Sam, you'’re gonna make
them kids work for you.
They'’re mean,
and they'’re tough,
but they'’re good.
Willie and dino --
that skinny, little
Hawaiian gully rat --
and pocho.
Sam, that big broad'’s
only 16.
Make a free dive --
85 feet,
got a black belt --
judo and karate.
Beautiful.
[ Panting ]
Well...what about
your daughter?
What about her?
Ah, sorry, Sam.
Okay, Charlie...
Knock it off.
Her mother, Mary --
she made me promise.
I promised
I wouldn'’t tell you.
All right, Charlie,
you did what you promised.
When her time came,
she went back to the village.
She had the baby,
she died.
When did you find out
it was Dee?
About a year ago --
from a fat slob of a b-girl
who ran one of those joints
down on Smith street.
Cute little kid came in there
to audition for a job
in that pigpen.
And she picked on me
to make a pass at her.
The madam leaned over
and whispered in my ear,
"more better
you Don'’t touch that kind."
I looked at her.
She said, "that'’s
your daughter, haole."
So, I went over to the kid,
and I said, "i'’m Sam moran,
and I guess we oughta talk."
She looked up at me,
and she said,
"so, you'’resam moran?"
And she spit
right in my face.
And after that,
the relationship deteriorated.
How do you feel?
I'’m gonna die
when I get home,
but I feel pretty good.
[ Gasps ]
I'’d feel a lot better
if you'’d stop
cuttin'’ up the nets
so you can get
at the bad guys.
But you ain'’t gonna do
nothin'’ like that.
Hell, no.
Let her go!
How do you feel?
Oh, I feel great,
but I could use Dr. Mack
right now.
I radioed.
He'’s waiting on the beach
with an ambulance.
All right.
Let'’s move him.
Hit it hard!
Charlie?
You all right, Charlie?
Charlie?!
Charlie,
are you all right?!
Leave it alone!
Who the hell are you?
Sam moran.
Who the hell are you?
Kittibelle Clark,
his sister.
Take him to the ambulance.
You better get your trucks
off the blocks.
You better come along.
Somebody burned my boat.
He tried to save it.
I think his lungs
are blistered.
You look strong enough
to help. Come on.
Now, give me the rest of it.
Your business?
Anybody who gets off my boat
with a fresh scar over
one eye is my business.
Yourboat?
I own half of it.
Charlie and I have been
partners for a lot of years.
He'’s been a good partner,
even though he does barbecue
the books once in a while.
And I own this place.
The refuge.
Now youtalk.
He wants to talk
to you both.
Make it snappy.
Okay.
Sam....
You, too, kittibelle.
I'’m puttin'’ him
in charge of the alika
as captain
till I get back.
Why?
Because he'’s a better sailor
than I am,
and you two
deserve each other.
That'’s why.
Now, get me out of here.
You better drive
with me to town.
I'’ll drop you off
at akamai Barnes.
He knows more about
what to do about what than...
Well, he'’ll know.
How is he,
kittibelle?
Not good.
Did Charlie have
any unfinished business?
Some.
I'’ll handle it.
Tell himabout it.
Akamai.
That woman
ever say please?
Yes, in a way.
Charlie gonna make it?
The last time I saw you,
you were full
of gorgeous women.
Now you look like hell.
I know all the reasons.
Kunewa phoned me.
Let'’s get a drink.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
Knock it off!
Knock it --
no! No!
I told you last night...
One negrito, double.
Don'’t fool around with it.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
Captain Sam!
Aloha,sue.
Jim, take care of this,
will you, please?
So?
Charlie'’s gotta shape up.
Kittibelle needs the money
for that refuge of hers.
She didn'’t always
need the money for it.
As soon as
she breaks even with it,
she takes on a couple
of more alcoholics
that need a drying out.
You know, not more than half
those guests up there
pay their own way?
Is she countin'’ on that boat
to make up the deficit?
She caters a luau
now and again
back there up in those
black lava mountains.
Sometimes that helps, but
the boat takes up the slack.
Kunewa says
you'’re not convinced
that Dee just walked
into the surf and drowned.
Do you think it was murder?
Yeah, I think.
Well, maybe the dent
in your head is connected.
And the burned boat.
Now Charlie.
Whatever
the bloody connection is,
there gotta be some
lovely characters involved...
And i'’m gonna have them.
My phd in anthropology
and my 11 years professorship
in sociology
never truly prepared me
for the likes of you.
Pathological, primeval,
bloody Sam.
How in hell you manage
to live that rich, full life
locked up in that jungle,
destruction of body and soul,
beats me.
You'’re a fascinating cat,
captain,
with an infinite gift
for collecting enemies.
You know, if you just
stay out of town,
our friend kunewa
is convinced
he can wrap up
the situation.
And i'’m inclined
to agree with him.
Kunewa says
the whole thing might break
right here in kona.
Akamai. Akamai!
I just missed kittibelle
at the refuge.
Where is she?
The hospital
with Charlie.
I was afraid of that.
Is it serious?
I'’m afraid so.
Oh.
I Don'’t know.
Dr. Hyde.
Sam.
Sam the man.
I declare.
I simply refuse to faint.
I'’ve given up
being carried out of bars.
Akamai,
i'’ll be at the refuge.
Call me if you need me.
I knew if I waited
around here long enough,
i'’d find you.
You found me.
Yes.
You split your head open...
Again.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
So it'’s gonna break
right here in kona?
The eminent and exquisite
doctor of marine biology
still has trouble
about you.
My god.
Sam.
I think
you oughta stay here.
But this minute,
a lot more,
I wish to hell
you'’d go away.
Charlie'’s make...
Dead.
We better talk.
Want a drink?
I spent 20 years of my life
crawling into the bottle.
Charlie pulled me out,
inch by inch,
and it wasn'’t easy.
I loved Charlie...
But he used to clip me.
Yeah.
Kittibelle.
I'’m...
I'’m really sorry.
Mahalo.
You got a ticket
for drivin'’ boats?
Any ocean, any time.
Charlie left you his half
of the alika.
I Don'’t want it.
Why not?
Charlie paid $30,000
for that thing.
That thingcost $30,000
in 1932.
It'’s too small
to be a cargo ship,
it'’s too clumsy
to fish with,
and the passenger
accommodations
would discourage
an arab camel driver.
Charlie made a good livin'’
out of it.
What Charlie told me,
he made a livin'’
on that bucket
in ways that would chill
the heart
of a Chinese assassin.
I'’ve got eight guests
in my place.
It'’ll fall apart if
that boat Don'’t support '’em.
Yeah.
Want you to...
Support your place...
Properly.
There it is.
Now you own it all!
I can'’t take care
of that tub myself!
Buy yourself
a skipper somewhere.
Let him push it.
Stay around long enough
to train one of the boys
to take it.
Charlie had a house
at the refuge.
It goes with the deal.
Akamai, will you tell her
i'’ve got plans
that Don'’t include
ladies with tired boats?!
Sam.
Akamai!
If I wanted a bag full
of other people'’s troubles,
i'’d go to the mainland!
Sam, have you got
one real lead? One?
No!
He asked me if he could have
a real Hawaiian burial.
He wanted you to take him.
You and tiger cat.
Tiger cat?
Tiger cat Clark.
My nephew.
A real Hawaiian funeral?
Well now, that'’s very nice
of him, isn'’t it, junior?
So, he'’s staying down there
at least until tomorrow?
Well now, I think
we can find a witty way
to prolong his stay
even further.
I'’d like to see
Sam the man again.
He'’d make such a marvelous
main event at a luau.
Reserve the refuge
long house for a week.
Yes, I think a luau
would be fun.
A full week, yes.
I'’ll send Tate down
to help you gather talent.
Oh, we'’ll bring some of
our very best from here, too.
Don'’t worry, junior,
and i'’ll fly down tomorrow.
Goodbye.
What are you foolin'’
with him for?
He'’s broke,
his boat'’s burned.
He'’s out of it.
Sam moran won'’t be out of it
until he'’s dead.
He'’s a special one,
compatriot.
We Don'’t get the chance
to play with that kind
very often.
Ha ha ha.

Stop it! Ahhhh!
Help!
Ahhhhhh!
Help!!
Ahh!
Ahoy, the whaler.
This is thealika.
We'’re having
a little trouble.
Can you give US a hand?
Hey! I can'’t swim!
Throw him a rope
and tow him!
Ahhh!
You lousy apes!
I'’ve had it!
Ha ha ha! Hey, mim,
come on back over here.
We'’ll, uh,
we'’ll take you to the luau.
We can have plenty more fun
over there.
Go to hell!
Hey, please take me
on your boat.
I tried to tell them
there was some ceremony,
but they wouldn'’t listen.
Ooh.
Here I am, and am I through
with that party.
Hey, listen,
please take me aboard.
My name is mim.
Short for Miriam.
Miriam lowry.
We got good wind.
Oh, boy, that team.
Oh, i'’m tellin'’ you,
I could'’ve handled him.
I mean, alone,
but not together.
And boy, that seems
to be the general idea.
Wanna go back
for your toothbrush?
No. I have some money
in Honolulu,
and if you'’ll take me
someplace happy,
i'’ll send for it.
Kailua kona, that'’s happy.
Want your clothes?
Hmm. I didn'’t bring much
to the boat.
They can have them.
In kailua,
there'’s a place run by
akamai Barnes.
He'’s over there
on that aku boat.
You go in his place,
he'’s got a hatrack there.
Put your hair ribbon
on his hatrack,
and he'’ll stake you
till your money comes.
You'’re nice, Mr...
Sam moran.
You think i'’m a tramp,
captain?
Hadn'’t thought about it yet.
Kailua?
Okay. Kailua.
Kumu!
Booby!
All right, booby,
there'’s your tinkertoy.
Drop your teething ring
and go home!
Interesting specimen,
captain.
Stand by your lines.
Thank you, Sam.
That was just right.
But it ain'’t right
if you Don'’t take
your half of the alika.
Kittibelle, i'’ve got
business in Honolulu.
You'’ve got
unfinished business here.
That aku boat can pay good.
Don'’t run out on me, Sam.
Charlie used to say
that if the money was right,
you'’d transport
pink giraffes
and a load
of Hungarian acrobats
all they way
from here to new Guinea.
And if the engines quit,
you'’d swim her there
with a bowline
in your teeth.
No.
I got just time to catch
that 4:10 airplane.
Kittibelle, goodbye.
You got just time
for second thoughts, Sam.
That 4:10 Don'’t run
to Honolulu anymore.
You'’re stuck here
till morning.
Oh?
You callin'’ me a liar?
You think
I cut that service
just to keep
your beautiful body here?
Go check for yourself.
If you were gonna take
a grateful girl
out to dinner,
where would you take her?
Akamai Barnes.
Do, um, do you think
akamai'’s credit
might extend
to a new--new dress?
Bat your eyes at him.
Ha ha. Okay.
Yahoo!
[ Light rock music plays ]
Welcome,
welcome, thrice welcome.
Hee hee hee.
Wow! This is quite
a little rest home.
That'’s quite a dress.
Well, I hung up
my hair ribbon
like you told me to.
And along came akamai.
I batted my eyes at him.
I need a Mai Tai.
Willie!
Oh mau mau,
a hoka mau ooh!
Mai Tai!
Mai Tai!
I heard you
the first time. Mai Tai.
Mai Tai.
Mai Tai.
Mmm.
That'’s good.

Hey, akamai!
Hey!
When did they cancel
the 4:10 flight to Honolulu?
Last month.
Johnny got a charter?
Everything'’s working.
There won'’t be a plane
in here
till tomorrow morning
at 7:30 A.M.
"Everything'’s working."
That'’s real akamai.
Real smart.
With any luck,
you can get back to killing
yourself tomorrow morning.
Hey!
Are they allhis?
Probably.
I'’ve seen him come in
after a weeks'’ fishing,
standing on the docks,
sleepy as a lizard,
with that planter'’s hat
on the back his head.
In two minutes,
some gal will pat
her boyfriend on the head
and come over to Sam
to play with the grown-ups.
But you know all that.
Oh, yes.
I hope so.
Doris: Akamai, telephone.
Want a drink?
Nope. Finally licked
the demon rum,
thanks to kittibelle
and her band of dried-out
angels at the refuge.
I'’m not putting her down,
mind you.
If it wasn'’t for
kittibelle lightfoot Clark,
I wouldn'’t even keep trying.
Mmm. Negrito.
[ Imitating Sam ]
No fool around.
Ha ha ha.
You know, I Don'’t want you
to think
i'’m bragging or anything,
but I can actually sit here
after all these years,
right next to you,
and not shake so much
I spill your drink.
So, take that,
Mr. Cock-a-doodle-doo.
Go flap your wings
and crow.
Hey.
Good for you.
Join the floor show.
No, thanks.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha!
[ Laughing ]
Come on!
Don'’t waste your time.
I Don'’t blend
with your native collection
any better than I did
five years ago.
And god knows, I tried then.
I told you before,
I am a vulgar specimen!
And you are a sad,
useless, nothing broad!
Sheeee!
The last time I saw
that look on Sam'’s face,
one of my customers
was wearing his teeth
for a lavaliere.
What happened?
Kittibelle just phoned.
Says she has an order
for a big luau.
You know, preparations.
Asked me to drive you over
if you wanted to go.
Yes, I would like to.
No, I will not.
Thank you.
You'’ve got
the biggest mouth
and the loosest lip
of anyone
in the south pacific.
Come here, stupid.
What'’s buggin'’ him?
I Don'’t know.
Guess I better find out.
No, i'’m not gonna tell you.
If she wants you to know,
she'’ll tell you herself.
All i'’m tellin'’ you
is that'’s a good girl,
and she'’s hurting.
So, you walk softly,
mister.
Ugh!
Come on.
Sure, boss.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha.
Aw, Sam, Sam, Sam.
[ Gasps ]
I'’ve got a marvelous,
new idea.
Come on.
Let'’s have a beach picnic.
We can sit there
and eat and drink things.
You know,
i'’ve got a big idea
that tomorrow'’s gonna bring
me a man-sized hangover.
Oh, you are a lovely man.
You'’re number-one,
10-karat, lovely man.
Mmm.
Sam...there'’s something
I need to know.
Shoot.
Is there a Mrs. Moran
around and about?
Well, for a girl
who plays it loose,
you'’re talking
pretty square.
Okay. So I swing.
But there'’s something
i'’m trying
to make my mind up about,
so...so answer.
No. There isn'’t...
But there was.
And for now,
that'’s enough.
Okay.
Hmm.
Maybe i'’ll see you later.
Maybe.
[ Gasps ]
You'’re getting a little
off-course, tramp.
I want out...
Now.
And I want the captain
at the luau...
By tomorrow.
Just the way I planned.
Then I want him
happy and relaxed
with you by his side
at a marvelous party.
No.
[ Crying ] No!
Now, you know how much worse
it can get than that.
[ Hawaiian music plays ]
How is it, kitti?
Hi, red.
How are you?
Rome negrito.
Put the bottle on the bar.
You like drink soda?
No, I like get drunk.

He'’s not here.
What'’s wrong?
Why you like

Those buggers
bust up his head --
they over there.
I got proof.
[ Crowd grumbles ]

talk a little bit, pal.

Oh, no! No!
It'’s just the way
it was before.
No, I --
it'’s so beautiful

Well, words tore it

you wanna try for two?

What do you think i'’ve been
since you?
It damn well hasn'’t been

I'’ve loved a man since you.
I married him.
And then, one day,
he killed himself.
[ Crying ]
I'’ve been trying,
unsuccessfully,
to kill myself
ever since then.
Oh, Sam.
I'’ve waked up in drunk tanks
choking on my own vomit.
I tried to dry out...
Only to wake up
in a straitjacket
somewhere else.
Oh, please, god.
I'’m worn out trying to make
the world turn out right...

it ought to be.
That'’s the way it was

It can'’t be.
It'’s gotta stop.
I destroy everything.

Hey.
Hey!
You think you'’re alone?
Oh, Sam.
[ Applause ]
Ha ha ha ha!
Oh, beautiful.
Brilliant performance.
Did you tell her?
Oh, he'’s a real good
kisser, doc,
but wait till he gets
to the part about his wife.
Ah!
Ahhhh!
Stop it!
Damn you! You think
you can solve every problem
with a punch or a grab
or a shove!
Ah!
Willie:
Hey, check this out.
Kimo, what the hell
are you doin'’ here?
I brought you a present.
Came down kailua.
Worked for two haoles,
gonna make big luau over here.
I figure
that'’s the two buggers
bust your head
and burn your boat.
I was good cabin boy
till I find that
they cockaroach from you.
How'’s that proof, huh?
Kimo, you lolo,
little shunka.
You all right?
Fine. Fine.
Where are they?
Over there.
Tiger...
Take care of this.

with these gentlemen.

you water babies?!

Move him up and down
up here a little. Oh, fun.
You'’re gonna --
you'’re gonna drown him.
You infected shark gut.
You clobbered me
in an alley,
you burnt my boat,
you murdered
Charlie lightfoot --
I know rotten well
you did that --
and you peeled
this kid'’s face
when he found the proof!
Now!
[ Screaming ]
Ahhhhh!
Let me see him!
Bring him over here!
[ Groaning ]
Hurry up.
That'’s enough.
Right there.
Now.
Who hired you --
the same bastard
that spiked Dee Carol?
Who put the needles
in that girl?

Tell him, Tate!
Tell him!
Shut up, damn fool!
Kryder!
Kryder did it.
That lousy faggot!
He made US --
he made US do it.
All right. All right.
Let him down.
Put him down.
[ Laughter ]
Party boy kryder.
So he'’s graduated
to dope, heh?
Sam, he'’s the one
who ordered the luau
at kittibelle'’s.
Luau to end all luaus,
i'’ll bet.
Give those two to the cops,
and let kunewa know.
And what are you gonna
be doing in the meantime?
Goin'’ to a luau.
Dino!
Tiger.
You and dino get the alika
ready to move.
[ Sighs ]
Well, how do you
get so lucky on your dates?
Oh, god, Sam. I'’m sorry.
I was supposed to bring you
to that luau.
That was the deal
for 500 bucks.
The things a girl
has to do these days
to make some bread.
Honest, Sam,
I thought it was some kind
of practical joke.
That--that kryder fellow --
he makes a career out
of playing people
through his sick
party games. It --
it scares me to death.
Don'’t go, Sam.
Get on the boat.
Go on!
Well, there you have it.
I have a great talent
for destruction.
Goes back a long way,
and some of it'’s rubbed off
on a lot of other people.
Then Don'’t go
this other round.
No more games.
Sometimes
i'’m lucky at games.
Sam.
Is it really necessary,
reallynecessary,
that you march up
on that beach
and with your own two hands,
take care of this fellow?
I mean, can'’t you
just turn him over
to the authorities? No. No.
I know that'’s not --
no!!!
Whatever
you'’re gonna say, no.
Now, one time, let'’s you
and me understand it.
You Don'’t like me
the way I am.
Lady, that'’s a cryin'’ shame.
But i'’m just about
what you see.
I'’m Sam moran.
And what I am says
I Don'’t like people
that put lumps on my head,
I Don'’t like people
that burn my boat,
I Don'’t like people pushin'’
junk on kids for fun,
and most of all,
I Don'’t like those kids dyin'’.
What I am says
I will look for those people
as long as I am able.
And when and if I find them,
I will hurt them!
Did it ever occur to you
that you'’re probably
the most self-centered,
self-indulgent,
self-destructive --
ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
[ Laughing ] Yeah!
Yeah!
[ Laughing ]
Oh, Sam.
Oh, yes, lord.
Yes.
Ha ha ha ha!
You!
You are kumu.
You'’re pesky, but kumu.
What does that mean?
Kumu?
Well, when they call
a woman that?
They?
When a man says that
to a woman,
what does it mean?
When isay that to a woman,
it means I think
she is some hunk of woman.
Kumu.
But pesky. Yes.
Yeah.
All right,
look alive down there.
Let'’s get the skiff
in the water. Now.
Come on, Hawaiian.
Let'’s go get
some white meat.
[ Hula music plays ]
Kittibelle: Why, Sam,
you old sea scum!
What are you doin'’ here?
Hi.
I was invited.
Who invited you?
I'’ll be damned.
I thought you were comin'’
to talk sense
about runnin'’ your half
of the alika.
By the way, where is she?
She floundered
on the way down.
We pressed on regardless
in the skiff.
Don'’t worry.
Crew'’s gonna salvage
everything off it it can.
Oh, come on, Sam.
Well, anyway, you'’re here,
and i'’ll do the talkin'’.
We'’ll be partners yet.
Kittibelle,
what in hell is that?
I ain'’t never catered
a luau like thatbefore.
Where is mine host
kryder?
God only knows.
The last time I saw him,
he was putting up
those, uh, black-light
projectors in the lava cave.
He said it was
for the luau -- night shift.
Come on, kids.
Melissa, comb your hair
and get the salt
off your face.
Come on in, too,
would you, Sam?
Come on and talk to me.
Wooooh!
Ahhhhhh!
You ever hear of a burial,
captain?
Or a good, fast car?
How was your trip
on the water, captain?
Kryder: Captain Sam...
I'’m going to make up
for the chilly reception
at my home in Honolulu.
It'’s true you have a gift
for headlong party crashing,
but you'’re invited this time.
Enjoy...sam.
And we'’ll take you
to the leader of the games.
Man: Come on!
Ugghhh!
[ Man choking ]
Kryder: Come on.
No, no, no.
You'’re going
the wrong way, Sam.
I must say, you have
a marvelous-looking crew
down there on the beach.
And what a charming touch
of strategy
to bring them in
from the rear.
Parked thealika
in some discreet little bay,
and played surprise, surprise.
Well, that was fun back there.
Good thinking
on all your parts.
But we are the best
in the game -- you and I.
Don'’t you agree?
Captain?
You'’re lost, I believe.
Lost in the witch'’s forest,
like hansel without any crumbs.
Wooooosh!
Wooooosh!
Am I satisfying your sense
of the dramatic, Mr. Moran?
Just follow
the little green speakers.
It'’s not possible
that Sam moran is lost?
What are you up to, Sam?
You surely must know
where I am.
Oh, and Don'’t worry.
You won'’t miss a thing.
My luau won'’t really
be exciting until sundown.
The light show
is only effective...
After...dark.
When was the light
most effective on Dee?
It was a party, Sam!
I can'’t keep track of everyone
who comes aboard
for one of my parties!!
You threw
that kid'’s life away
for a party?!
Now, mother, come to me.
Ah, ah, ah.
[ Laughter ]
I called kunewa.
He'’ll fly down
and take kryder
and the packer boys
in tow at kailua.
[ Hula music plays ]
I planned a luau,
and damn it,
we'’re gonna have a luau!
Oh, it was
a glorious fight, Sam,
and you'’re still alive.
How come?
Ha ha!
Yes, what happened?
I was scared stiff you'’d
massacred the lot of them.
We'’d have to lock you up
in jail for life.
Don'’t tell me Sam moran
is a changed man?
Akamai.
God forbid.
Ha ha ha.
[ Music continues ]
[ Thunder crashes ]
