Tintin: The land of black gold

T&T: Half a gallon, please. Precisely. Let's turn on the radio. Yes. See if there's any news of the possible war.

Voice on radio: Flash! Reports of exploding vehicles are arising at an alarming rate. Experts fear that our fuel supplies may be contaminated. We'll have more news about the oil crisis following this. When one day your car goes boom, don't give up or in to gloom. Call Autocart, we'll be there soon on that day your car goes boom!

Boss: Speedol imports all of its oil from Khemedite and Middle East, yet in the past two months our fuel supplies become a serious threat. It's a catastrophe!

Tintin: Any idea what causes the fuel to explode?

Boss: That's the big question! We've sent experts, but the phenomenon remains a mystery. Excuse me. Yes?

Assistant: Sir? Professor Biggams is on the telephone.

Boss: Biggams is our top scientist. He must have found out what is causing the explosions. What is it, Biggams?

Biggams: Are you sure you want to still continue?

Boss: Well, of course I want you to continue with the research! What do you ask?

Biggams: Because, if we're to go on, sir, you're going to have to build me a new lab…

Tintin: It has to be sabotage… But how do you tamper with such a large amount of oil? You'd have to go to where all the oil is stored. The docks! Maybe I was wrong. I've been standing here for three hours and nothing's moved. Until now.

McPhee: The Speedol Star sails tomorrow morning. It Will reach by Thursday.

Bad guy: Give these documents to our contact there. They are vital to our success.

McPhee: I understand.

Bad guy: Someone's there!

McPhee: All right! Come on out! It's all right! It's only a dog!

Bad gy: We must leave. It's not safe to stay here any longer.

Tintin: That was close! Now, how do I get aboard the Speedol Star?

Captain: So, you're the new radio operator? Right. Get yourself below and find a bunk.

Tintin: Aye-aye, sir.

T&T: Just think, Thomson: going undercover to help the mayor of Khemedite fight a power-hungry terrorist. An important honour, Thompson. We must be sure not to attract any attention. Precisely, Thomson, we must blend in with the crew. No hope if we're found out. Best to stay lost in obscurity, but ever present in our duties. Precisely! Right you are, Thompson.

Tintin: Thompson and Thomson?

T&T: Shhh, we are undercover! Come on, Thomson! Let's ask that cabin boy where our bunks are. Excuse me, cabin boy.

Captain: Next time, call me Captain!

T&T: Let's find our cabins before we blow our cover. Precisely, we don't want to blow our attention before we attract any cover.

McPhee: That's the same dog from last night. Someone is on to me. I'd better get rid of those documents. Police!

T&T: Who? What? Where? How did you know?

McPhee: I'm from naval intelligence. It's my job to know these things. Listen! Someone on the ship is after me. They want these secret documents. I need you to hide them for me.

T&T: You've come to the right men, I mean... sailors.

McPhee: Good. Keep them until we get to Khemedite. But don't tell anyone.

T&T: You can count on us. We won't tell a soul. Precisely.

Voice on radio: Speedol Star, come in, please. This is Speedol headquarters.

Tintin: This is the Speedol Star. Go ahead.

Voice on radio: Troop movements by the enemy have been insighted. You're not to approach any port vessels.

Tintin: We read you headquarters. Over and out.

Captain: Better get some sleep, young man. You're going to need it if a war breaks out.

Tintin: Come on, Snowy. This is the perfect opportunity to find those documents. Snowy? Snowy! Cloroform! What woul someone be doing with… Snowy's been kidnap! Snowy! Snowy!

Sailor: I'll fit you

Tintin: No! My poor Snowy. A rat!

Sailor: So...

Tintin: Perhaps I can explain…

Sailor: Explain this! Come back here!

Tintin: Snowy! Snowy. All right. What were you doing with my dog?

McPhee: What dog?

Tintin: This dog!

McPhee: Dog? Dog?? A foggy dog? He he he he. A foggy dog on a log in the bog..

Tintin: Great. He's now himself silly. He was my only connection to the documents.

Mohammed: Captain, I'm Colonel Mohammed of the military police. We are here to search your ship.

Captain: Very well, Colonel.

Soldier: Cabin search!

Tintin: Go ahead.

T&T:

Soldier: Military police!

T&T:

Tintin: What's that?

T&T: Well, I don't like the way he's searching my suitcase.

Soldier: Aha!

T&T: The secret documents! They're not secret documents! They're secret diamonds!

Mohammed: These documents we found detail an arms shipment to the… Take this spy away! Theimmunes guards will question him further.

Tintin: No! It was a setup!

T&T: I think we've been framed, Thomson.

Soldier: That's enough, foolish diamond smuggler.

T&T: I guess he wasn't for naval intelligence after all.

Soldier: The young man has the information you're looking for. He had the documents about the arms smuggling.

Yussuf?: Excellent work! Bab El Ehr Will reward you when he comes to power.

Tintin: Snowy!

Bab El Ehr: Greetings! I'm Bab El Ehr.

Tintin: Bab El Ehr? But what I am doing here?

Bab El Ehr: My man arranged for you rescue. I understand you have news about my guns.

Tintin: Guns? What guns?

Bab El Ehr: You fool! You have been tricked by the emir! This man is a spy! Prepare to move out! Tie the spy and bring him along as a prisoner! Move! Move! Move!

T&T: Well, that was a close one, uh, Thompson? Precisely. Good thing I found our papers in order and let us go. Still I feel terrible about Tintin. We'll find him, Thompson. Don't you worry. Oh, look! An oasis! Good! We can fill the radiator. It was a mirage… Never mind, there's a town over there. We'll stop for a drink. Another mirage! What? Another mirage? Well, I'm not going to be fool this time.

Man: Oh, there it is. Hurry, spy! Curses! It is dry!

Tintin: I must have water…

Man: He's as good as dead.

Bab El Ehr: Untie him and leave him.

T&T: Look, Thomson! A real oasis! Bet I can dive farther tan you. Bet you can't! Bet I can.

Tintin: Snowy! Oh, no! They left us! Come on, Snowy! We have to find water. It's freezing… I wish… Horses! Hey! Over here! They're stopping! Hey! Wait a minute... What are they doing? Oh, no! They blew up the pipeline!

Müller: your horses! The alarm will be raised! Hurry!

Tintin: That voice… I know that voice! Better hurry, Ahmed.

Müller: Where is Ahmed? Ah, he's coming! We must split up in case the soldiers come after us. Ahmed, you come with me. Ride on!

Tintin: I'm sure I know that voice.

Müller: Hold my horse! I'm back in a moment.

Tintin: Müller! I was right. I did know that voice! Now where did he go?

Müller: Foolish, Ahmed. He should have learned that I always watch my back. Tintin! I'm tired that you interfering in my affairs. This time will be your last! Kruzitürcken! They are onto me already!

T&T: Watch out for those rocks, Thompson. We don't want to take any more chances with this mirage business. Right-o!

Müller: Good! They're going! Now to finish Tintin.

Tintin: Come on! Snowy! Oh, no! He's taking the horses! Now what do we do? That's a stroke of luck! Tire tracks! And I would say they're heading that way! Come on, Snowy. Let's go.

T&T: I think we're lost, Thompson. Look, up ahead! It's tire tracks! A road! Judging for all these tracks, this is quite a busy road. We should come across a town any minute.

Tintin: A regular highway, Snowy. Wait a minute. These tracks are all the same! Somebody is going around in circles.

T&T: Hey! Stop! Right-o! What's that? I'dbetter go and investigate. It's a petrol can. Somebody must have dropt it. Lucky us. I say! We've lost our petrol can too. We should took back and look for it. Precisely.

Tintin: Yeah. This driver is definitely lost, just like us. Oh, no! It's useless, Snowy. I can't see a thing! We'll just have to wait it out. Come on, boy! What's that? A car? Someone's out there! Help! Over here! Help!

T&T: We can't go on this. Let's get the roof on! Right! I say! This is windy!

Tintin: Hello! Over here! What was that? Hey! That's one of Thompson's hat. That must be their car. But they never hear me over this wind. Thompson! Thomson!

T&T: I say, what was that? What was what? I thought I heard a shot and someone calling our names. Don't be silly! It's just another mirage! Oh, right.

Tintin: Thompsn! Thomson!

T&T: There's the mirage again. I say, you don't hear mirage, do you? Of course not. You see them. But that means… Tintin!

Tintin: Thompsons!

T&T: My hat! It's been a long time. You've got that right.

Müller: Thank you for the meeting, your Highness. I hope you won't regret your decision. Good day.

Tintin: Müller!

Man: You are here about today's events in the market?

Tintin: Yes.

Man: Follow me.

Tintin: I'd better be on the lookout of Müller's here. Salam aleikum, Emir Mohammed Ben Kalish Ezab.

Emir: Aleikum salam. Please, sit down. Now, what did you want to see me about?

Tintin: Yesterday, I was in a jeep driven by two of my friends. It was involved in a bit of…

Emir: I know.They would be flogged!

Tintin: I've come to beg your mercy. These two men have been wandering in the desert. Lost and very exhausted.

Emir: I see. It shall be consider. But tell me: what were they doing in the desert? And what are you doing here dressed like a bedouin?

Tintin: It's a long story, noble Emir.

Emir: Oh, but I adore stories. Please, tell me.

Tintin: It all started when the fuel in my country began to blow up for no reason. Müller was leading the men that blew up the pipeline.

Emir: Müller? You have mistaken him for Bab El Ehr. This crook is trying to overthrow me with the support of Skoil petroleum.

Tintin: May I ask what Müller was doing here, your Highness?

Emir: Well, Müller wants me to sign a contract to sell oil to the Skoil Petroleum Corporation.

Tintin: I think I understand. If you sign the contract, the attacks will cease and Skoil oil will became the only oil company here.

Emir: So, why should I refuse to sign the contract?

Tintin: Because Skoil belongs to an enemy of our country. It would be a disaster in the case of war.

Emir: You're right. You know? I don't like Müller and this company of his. I refuse to sign the contract. You have opened my eyes. How can I reward you?

Tintin: By giving pardon to my Friends Thompson and Thomson.

Emir: Consider it done.

Tintin: Well, Snowy. It looks like we pretty well solved the mystery of black gold.

Emir: This is fascinating! Do go on with your story. You had recognized Dr. Müller and then what happened?

Tintin: Well, I was sneaking up from behind him when…

Man: Master! Master, your son! He is missing.

Emir: You must think me mad, but you see: my son, Prince Abdullah, loves to play little jokes.The adorable rascal. Come. We shall go play hide and seek with him. Abdullah, where are you, my little prince? The precious little prankster. He's always putting us on. Abdullah! Come out, come out wherever you are!

Tintin: Oh, oh...

Emir: Abdullah is becoming a master of the hide and seek game.

Tintin: I don't think is a game, your Highness…

Emir: What d'you mean?

Tintin: Was the Prince wearing a blue robe?

Emir: Of course not. My family only wears robes of black.

Tintin: Then you have an uninvited guest in your courtyard. Here's a piece of blue cloth I've just caught on a Branch. And look! These deep foot prints indicate that someone jump down from the tree. And judging by these scuff marks, this is where they must have climbed over the wall.

Emir: They? They?? Who are they?

Tintin: Whoever kidnapped your son.

Emir: Kidnapped? Preposterous! No one would dare to kidnap my son!

Man: Master! A horseman brought this letter.

Emir: No... It's unbelievable… Somebody has indeed kidnapped my son.

Tintin: Excuse me, you Highness… But I can't read Arabic.

Emir: It was that cursed dog Bab El Ehr. He says that if I don't sell my oil to Skoil instead of Speedol, I would never see my son again. Oooh, sneezing poder. A final joke of my sweet little cream puff.

Tintin: Your Highness, please, pull yourself together. We need to act quickly.

Emir: Yes. Of course. I will summon my military advisor. A cigar? Only the finest imports for my esteemed military advisor. And you, Tintin?

Tintin: No, thanks. I don't smoke.

Yussuf: Your Highness, action against Bab El Ehr has been taken.

Emir: Abdullah has switched my fine imports with tricked cigars. That little snake! When I get my hands on him… I'll give him the biggest hug.

Yussuf: Do not worry, your Highness. The Prince will soon be with you. My horsemen are ready. We shall not rest until we have track down that cursed Bab El Ehr.

Emir: I hope they find Bab El Ehr soon.

Tintin: Maybe. But they won't find your son.

Emir: What? What do you mean?

Tintin: Bab El Ehr didn't kidnap him.

Emir: But he signed the note.

Tintin: A trick by Müller. The note demanded you sell your oil to Skoil instead of Speedol.

Emir: So?

Tintin: So, by kidnapping your son, Müller is making sure it gets exactly what he wants.

Emir: That dog! Quick! We must stop the horsemen.

Tintin: No. Müller must think his plan has worked. That way he'll keep his guard down. What I need right now is a picture of your son. It's this a good likeness?

Emir: Yes, a handsome, boy. Takes after his father. Even in his absense he gets my goat. My little sweetness.

Tintin: Don't worry, Highness, I'll get him back. Just tell me where I can find Müller. Uh? Sneezing powder? Great snakes! It's senhor Oliveira de Figueroa!

Oliveira: Imagine that. I can even sold rollerskates in the desert.

Tintin: Excuse me, the man with the sneez, where did he go?

Oliveira: Most likely to Dr. Müller's castle. He is a servant there. All of them seem to have taken sick. Very strange, indeed. But what about you, sir? What can I show you today?

Tintin: Senhor Oliveira de Figueroa.

Oliveira: Tintin! This truly is the land of wonders. What brings you to this…

Tintin: I'm on a very important mission and I can use your help. But firt, tell me senhor: why have you chosen to settle down and set up business here?

Oliveira: I'm the main supplier to everyone in town! Except for the Emir... He has his own private suppliers… That lucky dogs…

Tintin: What about Dr. Müller?

Oliveira: I sell him many goods, but he's tough and cruel and...

Tintin: I'd like to pay him a little visit.

Oliveira: It is not a place which I would bring a stranger. He surrounds himself with many armed men.

Tintin: What if I made it worh your while?

Oliveira: But… How?

Tintin: Get me inside and I'll make sure you become the Emir's exclusive supplier.

Oliveira: It's quite easy! I go there each morning.

Tintin: Snowy! I wish I could've brought Snowy.

Oliveira: And ruin your disguise? He will be safe at my house.

Tintin: You're sure you can keep the guards distracted.

Oliveira: I will keep them occupied. Believe me. Good morning, my friend! How are you on this glorious day?

Guard: Who's the young stranger?

Oliveira: My nephew: Álvaro. Bless you, sir. Say: I have just the thing for that sneez: some beautiful handkerchief. Gentlemen, allow me to introduce my nephew from Portugal: Álvaro.

Guard: He doesn't belong here.

Oliveira: Bless you! I assure you Álvaro is perfectly harmless. He's an orphan… Poor lad… I've taken him into my family. To be honest, he's a little... How do you say it? Simple. Not suprising after what happened him. Álvaro, go play the garden. You see? Álvaro's father, a humble snail Farmer, decided that he wanted to see the world…

Tintin: Here goes nothing.

Oliveria: He married the pirate's daughter. Well! Imagine the adventures! One day, off the coast of Africa…

Tintin: It's already locked from the inside. But here's no one in here. What's this? A spokesman for Speedol had no explanation for the exploding gasoline. Why do I get the feeling that Müller knows something about this?

Oliveira: Suddenly, his raft sprung a leak. The sharks swam closer!

Müller: That Little pest with his sneezing powder. That brat! Kruzitürcken! Come out or I'll shoot!

Oliveira: And he was the only man she ever loved. Such a tragedy!

Müller: Who are you?

Tintin: I am Álvaro.

Müller: Tintin! I should have known!

Oliveira: And he never saw her again.

Tintin: Hello? Give me the Emir.

Emir: Tintin? Have you located me son?

Tintin: Not yet, but I'm closed. Listen your Highness, have Müller's castle surrounded immediately. The Prince is here in somewhere. Okay, Abdullah, here I come. An underground fortress

Murad: Master? Is that you? That's odd.

Tintin: Don't move and don't ake a sound or else. Now, you're going to take me to see the Emir's son. Step back from the door. Face the Wall and keep your hands up. Prince Abdullah? I've come to take you home.

Abdullah: Don't want to go.

Tintin: Hey!

Abdullah: Great! A fight!

Tintin: Let's go, Abdullah.

Abdullah: No!

Tintin: Abdullah! Open the store right now.

Abdullah: Don't want to.

Tintin: Fine! I'll go to the circus alone then. Got you!

Abdullah: I hate you! I shall tell my papa.

Tintin: Be quiet, Abdullah. He's gone!

Murad: There is an intruder in the tunnel.

Müller: No kidding. Alert the others.

Oliveira: Little they did know about that Álvaro had witnessd the whole sordid…

Murad: Intruder in the tunnel! Come quickly.

Oliveira: Send me my nephew home if you see him. Tintin better know what he's doing. Snowy! How did you escape?

Tintin: Come on!

Abdullah: Train tracks.

Tintin: Hey! Get back here!

Abdullah: No, I want to play trains! Choo, choo!

Tintin: Stop that! Come here!

Abdullah: Oh, no! Stopt it! Let me go!

Tintin: Let him go, Müller!

Müller: After him!

Abdullah: Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! You can't touch me! My father will throw in jail.

Tintin: Uh? Explosives?

Haddock: Take that, you desert brat!

Tintin: Uh? It can't be.

Haddock: Blue blistering barnacles!

Tintin: Captain?

Haddock: Tintin! Thundering typhoons!

Tintin: Snowy!

Haddock: He led me right to you. We'd never have found the tunnels without them.

Tintin: We?

Haddock: I came with the Emir's men. I was in his palace when you called?

Tintin: Your Highness! What's wrong?

Emir: Müller... He has escaped in his car with my little Abdullah. The two detectives are in pursuit, but what if they don't find them…

Tintin: Your Highness, can we get your car?

Emir: Certainly! Do bring my Little darling back to me!

Abdullah: I'm thirsty!

Müller: So am I.

Abdullah: I want an ice cream!

Haddock: You're sure this is the way?

Tintin: Positive!

T&T: I say: what did you step out when we were moving? Moving? That car passed so fast I thought we were standing still.

Tintin: Look! That must be Müller!

Abdullah: I want ice cream!

Müller: Ice cream…

Tintin: All right, Müller. We've got you!

Müller: One false move and the childs head it! Back away from the car!

Tintin: You won't get away with this!

Müller: Just watch me!

Haddock: Come back here! Beastly baby snatcher! Swine!

Abdullah: Let me go! Let me go!

Tintin: Captain! Guard the Prince! I'll shoot for the tires.

Abdullah: Come here! Play with me!

Haddock: Quit that! We've got to be quiet!

Abdullah: Let go me, you big bully!

Tintin: Müller! The police are coming! You're trapped!

Müller: I must get rid of formula 14. I swore you'd never take me alive.

Tintin: No! Don't do it! Müller!

Abdullah: It's my ink pistol.

T&T: I say: this sun is giving me a terrible headache. Uhm, what's this? Headache medicine! How convenient! What a stroke of luck! One for you and one for you!

Tintin: Thompson and Thomson! I have a Passenger for you.

T&T: Right! Get in the car, Müller! It must be the medicine.

Tintin: What?

T&T: I feel rather peculiar. To be precise me too.

Tintin: Hang on, detectives. We'll be at the hospital in no time. They'll figure out what is in these pills.

Müller: I'll make you a rich man if you destroy those.

Tintin: And forget about my Friends? No way, Müller!

Emir: Silence, my lambs, the news is on.

Man on TV: The mystery of the exploding cars has been solved. A substance known as formula 14 was being used to sabotage world oil supplies. The exploding cars were merely a test of the enemy's world plans.

Tintin: Just think of what they would have done if there was a war!

Emir: Without gas, your country would have been helpless!

Man on TV: Profesor Cuthbert Calculus has produced an antidote for formula 14. World oil supplies are now out of danger. Detectives Thompson and Thomson are now recovering after accidently swallowing formula 14. In other news…

Emir: Peace has returned to both our countries. I believe that goes for a fine cigar.

Haddock: Nothing like a cigar after saving the world.

Emir: Another trick from my little Abdullah. But he did promise not to be nice. Cute little boy, isn't he?

Haddock: Cute Little boy? Cute Little boy? Blistering barnacles!

Tintin: The Blue Lotus. Script

Maharaja's son: Here, Snowy! Come on, Snowy! Come on, boy! Oups! Look out! Come on, boy!

Maharaja: See how happily they play together?

Tintin: This is some vacation. Thanks for lending stay here, Maharaja.

Maharaja: The pleasure has been mine, Tintin.

Maharaja's Butler: Your highness: there is a stranger to see Tintin, sahib. He says it is very important.

Maharaja: Show him in.

Tintin: But nobody knows I'm here.

Maharaja: Will talk later.

Mister Tintin.

Tintin: What is it?

Forgive me. There are many dangers. I bring an urgent message from friends who desperately need your help.

Tintin: What's wrong? Poison! Quick! What's the message? 

Mitsuhirato… He need help… Mitsuhirato… Shanghai!

Tintin: What about Shanghai?

Shanghai? I... I...

Tintin: Too late... The poison has taken effect. Get a doctor, quick! Guard the prince! Check the grounds!

Maharaja: What's wrong? The madness poison! My son!

Tintin: I've already alerted the guards. I have to pack.

Maharaja: Where are you going?

Tintin: To Shanghai! Busy place... Hey!

Voice of the bad guy: It's him.

Tintin: Thank you. Come on, Snowy. Let's go.

Didi: It is him.

Tintin: I don't know how are we going to find Mitsuhirato, Snowy.

Room service: A message for Mr. Tintin.

Tintin: Mr. Mitsuhirato wants to see me. I can't figure out how Mr. Mitsuhirato knew I was here. Ah, here we are.

Mitsuhirato: Please, sit down, Mr. Tintin.

Tintin: Thank you.

Mitsuhirato: I will get straight to the point: did you see my messenger in India?

Tintin: Yes, but unfortunately somebody poisoned him. He's completely mad.

Mitsuhirato: Poisoned!

Tintin: Don't worry: the Maharaja is looking after him.

Mitsuhirato: They will stop at nothing.

Tintin: Who are they?

Mitsuhirato: I am sorry, but I can tell you very little.Only that you must leave Shanghai immediately. The Maharaja is in serious danger.

Tintin: How do you know?

Mitsuhirato: Take my advise: return to India as soon as you can. Watch your step, Mr. Tintin. There are many enemies in this city.

Tintin: I hope this is the way back to the hotel, Snowy. Oh, oh... I think we're lost. Hey! He's gone! Hey! Whoever you are: wait! You know, Snowy? That man who knocked me down was probably trying to sabe my life. Please, come at once, my son and I are in grave danger. Sign: the Maharaja. So, Mitsuhirato was telling the truth. We'd better get back to India, Snowy. Maybe we'll get some answers there. Hello? What's this? Meet me at type in Lou tonight at ten. Look for the door with the lantern. It doesn't say who is from. This is all very mysterious. A disguise! I don't get it… Hello? Is anyone here? Hi, I'm Tintin. Did you send me the note? Are you okey?

Didi: Lao Tse said you must find the way.

Tintin: Yes.

Didi: I found it. You must find it too.

Tintin: Right. That's why I'm here.

Didi: You will know the truth…

Tintin: Yes.

Didi:...when I cut off your head!

Tintin: What?

Didi: Don't be afraid. It's a very sharp blade.

Tintin: No!

Didi: Just one small pick. Will you sewer your neck!

Tintin: He's been poisoned! I hope we make a pack to the Maharaja in time, Snowy. Snowy? Come on! Hey! What's… Help! Snowy! What happened? Where are we? Excuse me... Excuse me!

Didi: When I cut off your head...

Tintin: You!

Didi: You will find the way.

Tintin: Wait! Please!

Didi: Don't be afraid!

Chen-Yee: Didi! Stop!

Didi: Yes, papa...

Chen-Yee: Now, leave us.

Didi: Yes... papa...

Chen-Yee: Please, forgive my son, Mr. Tintin. He is not quite himself. My name is Wang Chen-Yee. I entrusted my son Didito protect you in Shanghai.

Tintin: That kind of help I can do without.

Chen-Yee: Are you sure of that, Mr. Tintin?

Tintin: That was your son?

Chen-Yee: Before he lost his mind…

Tintin: What's going on, Mr. Wang? Why am I here?

Chen-Yee: First: I owe you an apology for such a violent kidnapping. You see? My son was going to warn you about the Maharaja's telegram The Maharaja did not send it. It was sent by an enemy who wants you out of Shanghai. Would you come with me, please? My associates, Mr. Tintin. We are friends comitted to fighting crime in China. Our greatest adversary is a man of your acquaintance: a Japanese operating in Shanghai.

Tintin: Mitsuhirato!

Chen-Yee: Mitsuhirato. We had hoped you'd be willing to help us, so I sent a messenger to India.

Tintin: That was your messenger? Mitsuhirato said it was his!

Chen-Yee: He is a very cunning man! Do not underestimate him. Do you know what became of our messenger, Mr. Tintin?

Tintin: He was poisoned with raijaja juice, sir.

Chen-Yee: The madness poison...

Tintin: What can I do to help?

Chen-Yee: One of our agents has given us information that Mitsuhirato expects a large shipment of goods, but we don't know when. Mitsuhirato communicates to his accomplices in code. Unfortunately, we cannot break it. It is him!

Tintin: Location... Tuesday... Storm... entraps... Top nine... Turkish... Tea... May I try? Aha! That's it! Take the first two letters of each words and you get "blue lotus, ten tonight." What's The Blue Lotus?

Chen_Yee: A private club in Shanghai.

Tintin: Bingo!

A man: You're late.

Mitsuhirato: Five thousand and another five thousand when the job is done. There can be not mistakes.

A man: You worry about your things, I worry about mine.

Mitsuhirato: As long as we understand each other. After you.

Tintin: Oh, oh. You wait here, Snowy.

A man: Show me where.

Mitsuhirato: This way. Here.

A man: You owe me five thousand.

Mitsuhirato: Money weel-spent. Quick! We need help! Bandits have blown up the track at post 123.

A man: Let's go before someone comes. What was that? There!

Mitsuhirato: Mr. Tintin... You're awake. You should have taken my advise, Mr. Tintin and left Shanghai.

Tintin: Not only are you a drug dealer, but you're a terrorist too. Uh?

Mitsuhirato: You are brave man, Mr. Tintin. I respect your courage. That's why I will let you go.

Tintin: You will?

Mitsuhirato: Why not? We are both civilized men. Why choose death when there are other ways? Mister Lee!

Tintin: The madness poison!

Mitsuhirato: Such a fine mind. Almost a pity to waste.

Tintin: No, you can't do this... Nooo!

Tintin: I'm going to go mad...

Mitsuhirato: You can tell who ever you want now. No one will ever believe you.

Tintin: I'm a bird! I'm a plane! I'm action man!

Mitsuhirato: Good bye, Mr. Tintin. Have a pleasant journey.

Tintin: Take that and that. Action man!

Mitsuhirato: It's that dog of his...

Tintin: Action man!

Mitsuhirato: Stand still.

Tintin: Action man! Take this! Snowy! Don't ever mess with action man. Sorry I'm late.

Chen-Yee: Tintin! I had given up hope your safe return. Now that the occupation has begun.

Tintin: Occupation?

Chen-Yee: You don't know? It's seems a group of bandits blow up the Nanking-Shanghai railway. They said that many were killed. The Japanese accuse the incident as an excuse to send troops into China to restore order. Frankly, we think it's just a...

Tintin: Bandits? Train tracks? It's a setup, Mr. Wang. Mitsuhirato blow up those tracks himself. No one was killed. He must be financing the whole operation with his drug profits.

Chen-Yee: If what you say it's true, my friend, there is much work to be done.

Tintin: Well, at least we know where to start.

Chen-Yee: Thanks to you, Mr. Tintin.

Lee: Mr. Wang.

Tintin: It's you!

Chen-Yee: Yes, my friend.

Lee: This is the real raijaja poison.

Tintin: But it looks just the same!

Lee: You were injected with coloured water which I substituted myself.

Tintin: That was very clever of you, Mr. Lee.

Lee: I am happy to be of service.

Chen-Yee: Mr. Lee is one of our most honour friends as committed to our fight as you are.

Lee: My congratulations. Mitsuhirato was out for over five minutes. You throw quite a punch, honorable action man.

Chen-Yee: What is this action man?

Didi: The master said I must cut off your head.

Tintin: What's that?

Didi's mother: Unestabable madness poison. My poor son. Didi! Didi!

Tintin: Poor Mistress Wang. There must be someone who can help us find an antidote, Mr. Wang.

Chen-Yee: Maybe Professor Fang in Shanghai… Ah, but it is too dangerous for us to go there.

Tintin: Well, I've got to try.

Cheng_Yee: Wait! You must not go, my friend, the soldiers will be looking for you.

Tintin: Let them look. I'll get in somehow. I've got to!

Colonel: What? Oh! Mitsuhirato!

Mitsuhirato: Have you caught Tintin yet?

Colonel: No, sir. Not yet.

Mitsuhirato: Then I suggest you look harder, colonel.

Soldier: Sir!

Colonel: What do you want?

Soldier: Urgent message for the colonel, sir!

Colonel: The new general is coming for a tour. Have the tropos turn up for inspection. I want the barracks perfect. Understood?!

Soldier: Yes, sir!

Colonel: Attention! Present arms! Unshaven, sir. Two days detention, sir? Yes, sir: four days detention, sir. Another four days? But, sir, it was the wind. Yes, sir: another eight days detention, sir. Three more weeks unless this compass balloon reports me...

Soldier: Sir!

Colonel: What now?!

Soldier: is underwear, sir. Claims that he is our general.

Tintin: That fells better, eh, Snowy? Now we've got to get through that checkpoint. Professor Fang lives in the other side. Ah, look out! It's going to crash!

Soldier: Hey! You! Stop!

Tintin: So far, so good.

Soldier: Get that kid!

Tintin: Oh, oh! Come on, Snowy! We made it! Hello, I'm here to see Professor Fang.

Butler: My master is out at the moment. Please, wait here.

Tintin: What?

Butler: You must awaken. My heart is very anxious. Honorable master Fang was to return by ten and it's now one o'clock.

Tintin: Where did he go? A reception at the palace hotel held by Mr. Rastapopoulos… What's he doing in China?Come on, Snowy. "We have Professor Fang. Take fifty thousand dollards to the temple Hukow and await further instructions. Go to the police and you'll never see him again." What's going on?

Man: There's a  ahead. It's wash out the line.

Tintin: Looks like we're walking, Snowy… Great! Now, what do we do?

Tchang: Help! Help! Help!!

Tintin: Come on, Snowy! Quick!

Tchang: Help!

Tintin: Hang on! I'm coming!

Tchang: You saved my life! How can I thank you, sir?

Tintin: I'm just glad I got to you in time. What happened?

Tchang: The orphanage where I lived was washed away.

Tintin: What will you do now?

Tchang: I don't know… Maybe I could go with you.

Tintin: Sorry, it culd be dangerous where I'm going.

Tchang: It is said it is easy to break one branch alone, but two together is much stronger.

Tintin: My name is Tintin.

Tchang: And I'm Tchang.

Tintin: Okay Tchang. Off to Hukow.

Tchang: I know a shortcut.

Mitsuhirato: So, chief Dawson, we have a deal? You have sent men after Tintin?

Dawson: Yes, Mr. Mitsuhirato. We have a deal. The special team has just arrived. Your police pass, gentlemen.

T&T: Rotten job: order to arrest a friend. Poor Tintin.

Tchang: There it is!

Tintin: So, that's Hukow.

Tchang: To reach the old temple, we must go through the city.

T&T: Don't look now, Thomson, but I think we're being spotted.

Tintin: Thompson and Thomson!

T&T: Tintin! Oh, dear…

Tintin: What's this?

T&T: An order for your arrest.

Tintin: Hey!

T&T: For kidnapping Professor Fang.

Tintin: What?

Tchang: That's what it says, Tintin.

Officer: And you have a warrant?

T&T: Oh... Yeah… I... I've must dropt it.

Tchang: Here it is.

T&T: This is outrageous! We protest! We protest this outrage!

Tintin: I don't understand why they let me go.

Tchang: I do. I substituted their paper for one that said "this paper will confirm what you see before you we are lunatics."

Tintin: Poor Thomson and Thompson.

Mitsuhirato: We have special arrangements for Tintin. He will not reach Hukow alive.

Tchang: This your temple. It is very popular with the tourist. What do we do now, Tintin?

Tintin: Keep your eyes open for trouble, Tchang. The kidnappers said they will contact me here.

Photographer: Take your picture gentlemen?

Tchang: Careful… He is not Chinese…

Photographer: You two together, gentlemen. Only five yuan.

Tintin: He could be the contact. Very well.

Photographer: This way, gentlemen, please. Very nice, gentlemen. Now: watch the birdie.

Tchang: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Tintin: How would you like to be photographed with your own camera?

Tchang: Tintin! You're okay.

Tintin: Yes, he just grazed me. Thanks to you, Tchang. This was obvious a set-up.

Thang: What do we do now?

Tintin: Back to Shanghai and another visit to Mr. Mitsuhirato.

Tchang: How's your own, Tintin?

Tintin: A little short, but I'll be fine.

Tchang: Tintin!

Tintin: Yes?

Tchang: Be careful.

Mitsuhirato: Yamato! Take as many men as you can and bring me Mr. and Mrs. Wang. With any luck, that miserable Tintin Will be back with them and we'll get all our little birds with on stone. No time to lose.

Tintin: Mr. Wang is in danger. A car! We need a car!

Tchang: Tintin! There!

Tintin: Nanking road! Is an emergency!

Driver: Go find yourself a taxi, sonny. This is a private car. Hey! Come back here! You'll regret this!My car!

Tchang: He's alive.

Tintin: Cloroform!

Tchang: Look at this!

Tintin: "Blue Lotus".. It's Mr. Wang's handwriting. They've taken them to the Blu Lotus.

Man: What are you doing?

Yamato: He's here.

Mitsuhirato: Bring him in. Did you really think I would fall for such an obvious trick Tintin?

Man: You've made a mistake! I don't know who're you talking about!

Mitsuhirato: Maybe this will refresh your memory! It is not Tintin! You fool! Release him! Immediately! Please, excuse my associate behaviour He has made a mistake and will be punished accordingly. There's no need to cause any trouble. Enjoy your evening on me. Fools! Get the truck ready. A shipment will be arriving at dock number nine tonight.

Yamato: Yes, sir. This are the last of them. Okey, root them up. Everything went as planned.

Mitsuhirato: Excellent, Yamato. Come, Mr. Wang. You don't want to miss this.

Yamato: Come on with your hands up!

Mr. and Mrs. Wang: Tintin!

Mitsuhirato: Welcome to the end of the road, Mr. Tintin.

Tintin: How did you know I was in here?

Mitsuhirato: My man saw you leave the Blue Lotus. Very sloppy, Mr. Tintin.

Tintin: Rastapopoulos!

Rastapopoulos: You nosy Little punk! I am tired hat you interfering ith my operation.

Tintin: Your operation? The pharaoh's emblem! So you're the master mind behind all this smuggling!

Rastapopoulos: Get rid of him!

Mitsuhirato: We already, sir. Yamato!

Didi: Oh, what a wonderful day! The emperator has given me three to play.

Mr. Wang and Tintin: Didi!

Mitsuhirato: I guess this is good bye, Mr. Tintin.

Rastapopoulos: Just get on with it!

Didi: Do not be afraid. It is a very sharp blade. Three quick picks will sever your necks!

Tchang: Hands up!

Tintin: Bravo, Tchang!

Tintin: Not so sloppy after all, Mr. Mitsuhirato. My Friends hijacked your shipment before it docked and hidden oil drums. Wait! Where is Rastapopoulos? A secret door! You must be Professor Fang!

Fang: He ran through the curtain.

Tintin: The Blue Lotus!

T&T: We're looking for the Blue Lotus. Precisely. You're under arrest in the name of the law.

Mr. Wang: To Professor Fang for finding an antidote.

Mrs. Wang: An to my son for getting well.

T&T: Excuse us, please. Tintin, we came to congratulate you! Everything you said checked out the headquarters. They'll be behind bars for a long time. Quite right. Besides, we never did believe you were guilty.

Tintin: Have a seat and join the party, detectives.

Mr. Wang: Well, I would like to welcome Tchang to our family as our new son.

Didi: I would like to say something. Although Tintin's departure leave us sad, the addition of a brother makes me glad. Let us not weep and rejoice instead, …. my madness no one lost her head.

Tchang: There is a rainbow in my heart. I weep because Tintin is going, but the sun shines because I have a new mother and a new father.

Tintin in Tibet. Script

You can see the TV show here and here (part 2)

Tintin in Tibet. Script

Tintin: What a glorious holiday, eh, Snowy? Snowy? Come on, we'll head back to the hotel. I'm hungry as a bear. Hello, Captain. Did you have a nice day?

Captain: Marvellous, thanks.

Tintin: You know, Captain? You need some fresh air. How about going on a hike with me tomorrow.

Captain: No, thanks. That's not my idea of a vacation.

TV voice: And in the news tonight, a passanger flight on route to Katmandú has crashed on the Himalayan mountains. A search plane spotted the wreckage of the aircraft yesterday in a remote and dangerous area of the gospel and massive. The DC-3 was reported missing Monday...

Tintin: Nobody is going to survive that.

Captain: Poor souls.

Tintin: Well, I'm going up for a quick shower. Why don't you set up the Chess board?

Captain: Sure, if you're prepare to lose this time. Uhm, she's in danger. What should I do? Protect her with my knight? No, that would leave my bishop vulnerable.

Tintin: I can barely keep my eyes open. Check!

Captain: Check? Now, how do I save my queen? She's gonna have to fight a rearguard action or launch a flank attack with my bishop. The enemy will cover his castle with a pawn under have to sacrifice the bishop, but he won't be sacrificed in vain... an eye for an eye. I'll take his castle!

Tchang: Tintin! Tintin!

Tintin: Tchang!

Captain: Thundering typhoons, Tintin.

Tintin: Sorry, sorry everybody. Sorry, Captain. I've just had the most awful dream. It was about my friend Tchang. He'd been in a plane crash and was calling out to me for help.

Captain: You were dreaming about that crash on the news.

Tintin: Maybe.

Captain: You're just overtired. Go to bed. You'll feel better in the morning.

Tintin: Ok, night Captain.

Haddock: Morning, landlubber. What's wrong?

Tintin: I didn't sleep very well.

Haddock: More nightmares?

Tintin: Yes.

Haddock: Well, maybe this letter will cheer you up. It arrived for you this morning.

Tintin: I wonder who it's from. Tchang!

Haddock: Now what?

Tintin: It's Tchang. He's coming here. He's going to visit his uncle in Katmandu and he said he'd phone us from there.

Haddock: Katmandú? Wasn't that the flight path of that plane? There were six crew members on board and the delegation of scientist. Traveling with the scientist and also missing is a young Chinese boy.

Tintin: Tchang... My poor friend Tchang. No, I don't believe it. Now I know why I was having those dreams. Tchang is alive! He's calling for help!

Haddock: Tintin.

Tintin: No. I know you've gonna say but those dreams are no coincidence, Captain.

Haddock: Wait. Where're you going?

Tintin: Katmandu!

Haddock: Katmandu? Tintin, this is crazy. You cannot go halfway around the world because of a dream.

Tintin: I'm going Captain and that's that.

Haddock: Fine. You go, then. But don't bother asking me because the answer is no.

Air hostess:  We hope you enjoy your stay in Katmandu.

Haddock: Thank you.

Tintin: Ok, Tchang's uncle has a shop around here somewhere.

Haddock: You don't even know where you're going.

Tintin: I know it's here in somewhere I'm just not sure where.

Haddock: This is ridiculous! You're walking around like a sleepwalker with his eyes shut.

Tintin: Look out!

Haddock: Watch where you're going, you bumbling blob

Tintin: Met your match it, Captain.

Haddock: Is good to eat? Like candy?

Tintin: Thank you.

Haddock: Hot! Hot! My mouth on fire.

Tintin: Mr. Tchang Lee Kang?

Tchang Lee: Yes?

Tintin: My name is Tintin. I'm a friend of Tchang.

Tchang Lee: Please, come in. Tchang will be here shortly.

Tintin: Tchang is here?

Tchang Lee: My son Tchang Lin Yi.

Tintin: I'm afraid there's been a mix-up, sir. I'm looking for Tchang Chong Cheng.

Tchang Lee: My nephew... died in a plane crash two days ago.

Tintin: Sir, I think he's still alive.

Tchang Lee: Impossible, young man. I've got a letter from police.

Tintin: Well, I don't believe it and that's why I'm here. I need to find a Sherpa who will guide me to the crash site.

Tchang Lee: There's only one who can do it. But I know what he will say.

Sherpa: No, it's too dangerous, saib. I'll take you both there and three more lives would be lost. Ours.

Haddock: Listen to reason, Tintin.

Tintin: You're right. I can't risk anyone else's life.

Haddock: At last you're talking sense.

Tintin: I'll go alone! Ok, Snowy. Let's go.

Haddock: Oh hi, landlubber! Don't say anything, I'm going whether you like it or not.

Sherpa: He is good friend.

Tintin: That he is.

Haddock: Too hot. Need a rest. Calculus? What are you doing here?

Calculus: It seems I lost my umbrella.

Haddock: Why! I've got plenty.

Calculus: Don't be silly. It's a hot pepper. Checkmate!

Sherpa: Saib, Ok? He want me to carry his pack?

Haddock: No, I don't want you to carry my pack. I'll carry my own backpacks. I just have to get used to the altitude. I don't need anybody else to carry my pack right now. Can't be too difficult.

Tintin: Captain! Wrong bridge! We're supposed to cross the next one.

Haddock: I knew that.

Good Snowy: Don't do it, Snowy.

Evil Snowy: Go ahead!

Good Snowy: No, Snowy. It's bad.

Evil Snowy: Be quiet. Try it.

Tintin: Where's Snowy? Snowy! Snowy! What's wrong? No, Snowy, look out! Hang on. I'm coming! Got you! Come on, Snowy. Let's go.

Sherpa: We must be careful, saib. There are many dangers ahead.

Tintin: I know there are, Tharkey, but we can't give up now. What is this, Tharkey?

Tharkey: It is chöten. It holds the ashes of great lamas.

Tintin: Pretty neat, huh, Captain?

Sherpa: Stop, Sahib. Not pass on right side!

Captain: What?

Tharkey: Do that they say or the spirits will be angry

Captain: Left, right, what's the difference? What! Help!

Tharkey: Left, Sahib! Give to the left.

Captain: I'm trying! What's this?

Sherpa: It's tsampa: cooked barely meal with tea and butter.

Tintin: What was that?

Tharkey: It was Yeti.

Tintin: The abominable snowman?

Captain: Nonsense, it was just the wind.

Tharkey: No, sahib. That was not wind.

Sherpa: Yeti is very bad. He eats the eyes and hands of men.

Sherpa: We go back now, yes?

Tintin: No! Whatever it was we are not going back. I've got a friend up there who needs me. Snowy? What is it, boy?

Tharkey: Now you believe?

Sherpa: We go back!

Sherpa: Yeti will eat us!

Captain: I'm tired of hearing about this Yeti. I keep telling you there's no such thing.

Tharkey: Then how do you explain these prints?

Captain: Easy! It's a bear walking on a time legs.

Tharkey: No bear, sahib. Yeti.

Captain: Boulder dash and I'll prove it once and for all. Come on down, you free beckon cro-magnon.

Tharkey: Quiet, sahib! You'll cause an avalanche.

Captain: I'm waiting you overgrown baboon!

Tharkey: Run!

Captain: Filibuster! Megalomaniac! Blistering barnacles!

Tintin: Oh, no! The porters are gone!

Tharkey: We must go back. It's to dangerous to go on alone.

Tintin: No! We'll each take another pack. I can't give up on Tchang.

Tharkey: There!

Tintin: I wonder if Tchang bought this for his cousin.

Captain: Why did you have to say that?

Tharkey: The mountains are cruel, sahib. They keep those they take. We can set a camp in there. Tomorrow we go back. Sahib? Sahib!

Captain: Let him go. He needs some time alone.

Tintin: If Tchang survived, he would have looked for shelter. A crack in the rocks, a cave... Bingo! It's okey, Snowy. It's just the wind. What? Tchang! He's alive! I knew it! Oh, no! It's snowing!

Captain: Any sign of them?

Tharkey: No, sahib. And there's nothing we can do until the snow stops, except pray for they found shelter.

Tintin: Stay close, Snowy. This is hopeless. We shouldn't have left the cave! Let's go back! Oh, no! Our tracks are covered up already. What is it, Snowy? Captain! Eh, Captain! He can't hear us.

Captain: Tharkey... Tintin will be okey, won't he?

Tharkey: It's hard to survive a storm in these mountains without shelter.

Captain: This storm has lasted for hours.

Tharkey: Listen!

Captain: That's Snowy!

Tharkey: We must be careful, sahib.

Captain: Over there! Good boy, Snowy. Where's Tintin?

Tharkey: Falling into crevasse.

Captain: Tintin!

Tharkey: Ready?

Captain: Go!

Tharkey: Don't drop me, sahib.

Captain: Get go in.

Tharkey: Tintin! Tintin!

Tintin: Captain!

Captain: Not now! I'm busy.

Tintin: What are you doing?

Captain: Tintin!

Tintin: The rope!

Captain: Sorry about that, Tharkey...

Tintin: Poor Snowy, you're frozen.

Tharkey: How did you get out of there, sahib?

Tintin: Well I thought I was a goner. It was a sheer drop straight down. The soft snow must have broken my fall. I don't remember landing. When I came to I thought I was trapped but the bottom of the crevasse sloped up and I followed it along until I found a place to climb out.

Captain: You were lucky.

Tharkey: It is not wise to wander in a storm.

Tintin: But I was following you, Captain, and I thougt...

Captain: You couldn't have been: I never left the plane.

Tharkey: It wasn't me, sahib.

All: The Yeti!

Tharkey: We must leave immediately! He knows where we are.

Tintin: But what about Tchang?

Tharkey: He's gone, sahib.

Tintin: No! I found a small cave back there. Tchang's name was carved on a rock! I'm more convinced than ever: Tchang's alive.

Tharkey: Tomorrow we'll search for Tchang, but now we go back to the plane.

Tintin: I don't know where you are Tchang, but I'll find you. I promise! Tchang!

Tharkey: We must leave, sahib, or we will freeze to death. Bad weather is coming.

Captain: He's right, Tintin, old lad, you've done everything humanly possible.

Tintin: Tharkey! Captain! Wait! There's something yellow upon that rock face. It's a scarf! It must belong to Tchang! There. Just bellow that ledge. See for yourself.

Tharkey: No, sahib, only an experienced climber with proper boots and equipment could climb that.

Captain: What scarf?

Tintin: That scarf!

Captain: I don't see any scarf!

Tharkey: Maybe the wind blew it there or maybe it was the Yeti.

Tintin: Well, Yeti or no Yeti, I'm ckecing out that scarf.

Tharkey: Well, I'm not going with you.

Tintin: Fine. The Captain and I will find Tchang. Chinese silk! It has to be Tchang's! He must have come this way. Let's go. Ok, Captain, stay to the side and I

Captain: Tharkey was right. Tchang would never climb this.

Tintin: Captain!

Captain: I'm trying to swing over!

Tintin: Easy, Captain.

Captain: Blue blistering barnacles, it's useless. Can you pull me up?

Tintin: Not a chance! The slightest movement was done for. Try climbing!

Captain: I can't get a grip. My hand are numb.

Tintin: Can you drop your camp pack?

Captain: Not without untying this rope. That's it then. I've got no choice.

Tintin: Captain, what are you doing?

Captain: Casting off moorings, old friend.

Tintin: Captain, no! Don't do it!

Captain: Better than both of us going down. Ah! Clumsy fool! Take out your knife and cut it!

Tintin: No!

Tintin: Tharkey!

Tharkey: Tintin!

Tintin: Thanks Tharkey. We owe you one.

Tharkey: No, sahib. It is I who owe you. Your devotion to Tchang has tought me about friendship. I should never have left you. A storm is coming! We must find shelter or we will freeze. Just behind these rocks! Hurry, the tent is our only hope. I will get stones to weigh down the corners.

Captain: Confounded wind.

Tintin: Captain!

Tharkey: Let go! The Yeti!

Captain: I don't believe it!

Tharkey: We must keep moving. He knows where we are.

Captain: Must rest... Sleep...

Tintin: Captain, no. Captain, get up! You'll freeze!

Tharkey: Sahib, sahib! Look! A monastery!

Tintin: Captain, wake up! There's a monastery down there!

Captain: Five more minutes.

Tintin: We'll have to carry him. What's that?

Monk: Ah! The white goddess is "angly".

Another monk: Uhm... White goddess... It's only an avalanche.

Kid: Look! Blessed lightning has a vision.

Monk: I see two men and a boy. They fall... They fall from the heavens. This boy, he has a great heart. With him his little dog, white as powder snow. Quite heart is swallowed by cloud of white. He is at the end of his strenght.

Tintin: Snowy? Get help, Snowy. Take this to the monastery. To the monastery, Snowy!

Good Snowy: No, Snowy. You must deliver the message.

Evil Snowy: The message. You don't see a bone like this every day.

Good Snowy: But what about Tintin?

Guard: It must be a mad dog! Stop him. Look out! Mad dog! Mad dog! He is cornered. Careful. Don't miss him.

Kid: No! Can you not see? This is part of snow from blessed lightning's vision. There are men in danger in the mountains. We must follow him.

Captain: All right, all right! I'm coming. This must be the monastery. How did I get here? Tintin?

Grand abbot: I, the "gland" abbot of Khor-Biyond, welcome you. But, was there not another in your party?

Tintin: He's still sleeping, Sir.

Captain: Well, I'm up now.

Tintin: Captain!

Captain: Tintin! Tharkey! Good to see ya! Who's the guy with the fancy lid?

Tintin: Uh... Captain Haddock, meet the grand abbot. His monks pull us from the avalanche.

Grand abbot: Please, sit down Rumbling thunder.

Captain: Thanks... Grand admiral.

Grand abbot: Tell me why do you risk your lifes in our mountains?

Tintin: We're searching for a friend of mine who is lost on a plane crash

Grand abbot: Ah, the falling steel bird. But that was many nights passed. Your friend canot still be alive.

Captain: It's like this, grand abby. Tintin had this bizarre dream that Tchang is still alive, so he drags us into these mountains to look for him.

Tintin: I know it sounds crazy, but in my heart I'm sure of it.

Grand abbot: The love you show is noble, but foolish. The mountains of Tibet keep those they take.

Captain: The grand Muftí knows he's talking about, Tintin. You got to face facts.

Grand abbot: Listen to Rumbling thunder. Even he sees the truth and now, you must leave. We canot permit strangers amongst our order. End your quest and return to your land, Great heart.

Kid: Farewell, partner snow.

Tintin: Let's go, Snowy.

Monk: Great heart! Please, wait! You forgot this.

Tintin: Excuse me. I see, I see Horn of yak.

Captain: Blistering barnacles! Where's a camera. Nobody's going to believe this.

Monk: A kid in the mountain, a young boy is there.

Tintin: Tchang!

Captain: How do you set this thing?

Monk: He lays on that of juniper branches, but who is this approaching him? Cannot see. Wait!

Captain: Okey.

Monk: The Migou!

Tintin: Never mind that! He saw Tchang! Where is this boy?

Monk: Where is who?

Tintin: The boy you saw on the juniper branches.

Monk: I do not understand what you mean. Go in peace, Great heart.

Tintn: Tchang.

Tharkey: Please, sahib, not again. I can't take you no further.

Tintin: I know, Tharkey. You must go back, but my journey isn't finished.

Tharkey: I wish you well, sahib.

Grand abbot: The Horn of the yak is a large mountain. Two days to the North.

Tintin: Blessed lightning saw Tchang there, bleeding in a cave.

Captain: You're not really buying this hocus-pocus business, are you?

Tintin: He also said something about Migou...

Grand abbot: The Migou! Then your friend is better off dead. Migou is our word for Yeti. The Migou is an devil on earth. Stay far from the Horn of the yak, Great heart.

Tintin: I understand, Grand abbot. Thank you for your wisdom.

Captain: If we hurry, we can catch Tharkey.

Tintin: You go, Captain, I gone to North.

Captain: Blue blistering barnacles! Don't you know when to give up

Tintin: I guess not.

Captain: Look: if the cold doesn't kill you, the avalanches will. And, if you survive those, chances are you run into abominalbe snow blower everybody's talking about.

Tintin: I'm not leaving until I find out what happened to Tchang.

Captain: Fine. But if you insist on getting yourself killed, don't expect me to join you.

Tintin: I don't. Thank you, Captain, for all you've done and for being such a good friend.

Captain: If you come to your senses, meet me in Nepal. I'll wait there for a couple of days.

Tintin: Tchang! The Horn of the yak!

Captain: Ahoy! Landlubber! Thought you finally get rid of me, did ya?

Tintin: Captain! You changed your mind! The home of the Yeti.

Captain: Wait, wait, wait. Tintin, I'm getting fed up. We have been here for three hours waiting for this confounded Migou of yours to poke his nose out.

Tintin: Patience, Captain. Just a little longer. The Yeti!

Captain: Thundering typhoons!

Tintin: There it is! It's going! It's disappear. Now's my chance to see Tchang's in there.

Captain: Okay, here. Take the camera.

Tintin: Okay, warn me if he comes back.

Captain: Okay. Try to get a shot of him. If you hear me wistle, clear out!

Tintin: Tchang!

Captain: Come on, Tintin. Hurry up and get out of there.

Tintin: Tchang!

Tchang: Who's there?

Tintin: Tchang! You're safe!

Tchang: Tintin! I kewn you would come!

Tintin: You're burning up with fever.

Tchang: I'll be okay. Just get me out of here.

Captain: Why doesn't he hurry? Blistering...

Tintin: Hang on, Tchang. Not much further.

Captain: Tintin!! Look out!!!

Tintin: Run, Tchang!

Captain: Hang on, Tintin! I'm coming!!!! Bomb? I was an atomic bomb, wasn't it? Are we all dead?

Tintin: No, Captain. Come on help before the Yeti comes back. How did you manage to survive that crash, Tchang?

Tchang: When the plane went down, I was the only survivor. I tried to find help, but I guess I fainted. When I came to, I could not believe my eyes. It was the Yeti! I realize he made me no harm. He gave some biscuits he found in the wreck. When I regained some strength, I carved my name on a stone in case someone came. One day, the Yeti rushed in, picked me up and quickly climbed out of the cave. We were high above the valley when I saw the search party. I waved and shouted, but nobody noticed. Help! Here! So, I threw my scarf to watch them and that's all I remember. Until I heard your voice.

Tintin: But what did you do for food? It's been two weeks!

Tchang: The Yeti brought me roots and berries to eat.

Captain: Probably fed in up meal course.

Tchang: Not, Captain. I don't think so.

Captain: Anyway, I'm beat. How about a minute of rest? Where is my handkerchief?

Tintin: The Grand Abbot!

Grand Abbot: Blessed lightning foretold your return. I come to bow in hommage before you, Great heart.

Tintin: Me? But, I...

Grand Abbot: Your devotion to your friend is to be honored. May I present you with this scarf of silk. Allow us to take you to our monastery.

Tintin: Home return at last

Tchang: I can hardly wait.

Tintin: A farewell from the Yeti.

Tchang: He's alone now.

Tintin: Until someone catches him.

Tchang: I hope that never happens. They treat him like a wild animal. I can't help, but think that deep down he has a human soul.

Tintin: Who knows, Tchang? Who knows?

Tintin: Flight 714. Script

Flight 714

Haddock: I keep telling you, Professor: we're in Yakarta, the last stop before Sidney!

Calculus:

Haddock: It's not Sidney yet. It's Yakarta!

Calculus: Yes, I know. But I thought at first it was Yakarta.

Haddock: We've got an hour to kill. Let's go get something to eat. Eat? I wonder how long it's been since that poor old chap a meal. Poor old soul. There you go.

Carreidas: Oh, thank you.

Haddock: Well, that's my good deal for the day. I'm such a nice guy. Billions of blistering...

Skut: Captain Haddock?

Haddock: Skut!

Tintin: Skut!

Scoot: Hello my old friend Tintin.

Tintin: What you are to?

Skut: I pilot my boss to Sidney for the astronautical congress.

Tintin: That's where we are going!

Bad guy: this match of masoline. Skut, I've been looking for you everywhere. The flight plan are coming.

Tintin: Nice guy.

Skut: He is the new navigator. I do not like him very much. The regular navigator took ill very suddenly yesterday. I am hoping he gets better soon.

Haddock: So, who're you guys working for?

Skut: The millionaire Lazslo Carreidas.

Tintin: The man who never laughs. What's the chance of me getting interview with him?

Skut: Pretty good. It comes now.

Haddock: He must be all right. He's taking that poor guy under his wing.

Skut: Mister Carreidas, these are my Friends who also go to congress in Sidney.

Haddock: How do you do, Mr. Carreidas?

Skut: Captain..., you are meeting Mr. Spalding. This is Mr. Carreidas.

Haddock: But... But... Sorry, I...

Carreidas: I don't shake hands. Very unsanitary.

Calculus: Excuse me.

Carreidas: Don't touch me!

Calculus: Presto!

Spalding: Are you all right, sir?

Carreidas: I'm laughing. Did you notice, Spalding?

Spalding: Yes, sir.

Carreidas: It hasn't happened for years. That little guy is funny!

Spalding: Yes, sir.

Carreidas: You're all going to Sidney, are you?

Tintin: Yes! We're just waiting for our plane.

Carreidas: No need to wait any longer. You're coming with me. Spalding, cancell their tickets and have their luggage transferred to my hangar.

Spalding: But, Mr. Carreidas...

Carreidas: Move it, Spalding! Go, go, go!

Tintin: It's very kind of you, Mr. Carreidas, but I'm afraid we can't accept your offer.

Carreidas: Rubbish!

Tintin: Snowy is such a fidgety traveler and... Snowy? Snowy! He must have followed Mr. Spalding. I better go find him.

Careidas: So, Captain. Perhaps we can have a game of battleship during the flight.

Calculus: Fight? Is there a fight?

Carreidas: No, no, I...

Calculus: I was very good at Sabati in my youth.

Carreidas: Sabati??

Calculus: No, no, I said Sabati. French boxing. Perhaps I'm a little out of practice.

Carreidas: Ha, ha. He's crazeless.

Tintin: Snowy! Snowy!

Spalding: Sir, we're run into an unexpected trouble. We'd better cut off the mission.

Rastapopoulos: Idiot! It's too late.

Tintin: Snowy! There you are! Bad boy, Snowy! You know you're not supposed to go.

Spalding: Oh, it's you. I was just talking with my cousin in Yakarta. Excuse me, I have to cancel your tickets.

Tintin: Cousin in Jakarta. Why don't I believe that?

Carreidas: You're late, Spalding!

Spalding: There was quite a lineup at the counter, sir.

Carreidas: I'm not interested, Spalding.

Spalding: Yes, sir.

Carreidas: What do you think of my latest toy?

Tintin: It's magnificent!

Carreidas: And fast!

Gino: Signore Carreidas, a call from New York.

Carreidas: Yeah? Oh, it's you Goldberg. Gino, these people are traveling with us. Take them aboard and make them comfortable.

Gino: By this way, please.

Carreidas: So, what have you got for me? Three Picassos? A Renoir? Buy them all!

Skut: Hans! My Friends are coming with us as guests of Mr. Carreidas.

Hans: Welcome aboard everyone.

Tintin: More new crew?

Skut: Old operate had accident just yesterday.

Carreidas: Gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts for take off.

Radio control: Golf Tango Fox, you're clear for take up.

Bad guy: Calling XB-42. The bird is heading for the cage.

Carreidas: C4 D4 E4. You've sunk one of my subs, Captain.

Haddock: Not bad for an old sea dog.

Carreidas: My turn. I'll have A4 B4 and C4.

Haddock: Uhm, good shot Mr. Carreidas. A destroyer sink by three direct hits.

Carreidas: G1 G2 and G3.

Haddock: Uhm... Another hit.

Tintin: Now, what's he up to? Somehow I don't trust him.

Spalding: Skut, Mr. Carreidas wants an update.

Skut: Take over, Colombani.

Colombani: Right.

Haddock: Blistering barnacles! You've just sink my last destroyer! What luck!

Carreidas: Not luck, Captain, skill. What are you doing, Skut? Why aren't you flying the plane?

Skut: But Mr. Spalding said you wanted to see me.

Carreidas: Spalding! You'll have when I...

Spalding: Hands up! All of you!

Carreidas: Spalding! Have you gone mad?

Spalding: To the rear of the plane and move it.

Carreidas: That's it, young man, get his gun!

Spalding: Nice try. Now get with the others.

Hans: Good work, Spalding.

Spalding: Get in there. All of of you!

Carreidas: Spalding! You're fired!

Spalding: That's not great loss. I didn't like working for an old cheat, anyway.

Haddock: Cheat?

Spalding: He actually uses closed circuit television to win that silly game of battleships.

Haddock: Cheating, eh?

Carreidas: Oh, relax, Captain.

Tintin: We're going down.

Skut:

Spalding: Isn't this dangerous? You can't see a thing.

Hans: Relax.

Spalding: That was crazy.

Radio control: Radio control calling. We have lost radio contact. report your position.

Bad guy: Now we're in the clear.

Hans: We're nearly at the island.

Bad guy: Ok. We've taken up thousand feet and

Tintin: We're climbing again.

Skut: I think they're prepare to land. There is an island, but this is crazy! Runway is much to short. Every! Sit against forward section. Hands behind head!

Bad guy: Quick! The parachute!

Hans: The chute's gone!

Bad guy: the breaks!

Hans:

Bad guy: I can't hold her!

Hans: We're done for!

Bad guy: We're running out the runway!

Calculus: Is this a television show?

Tintin: It's ok, Snowy.

Bad guy: Shoot him up!

Tintin: I'm trying but he's frightened! Snowy!!

Bad guy: Shoot him!

Tintin: No!

Rastapopoulos: Idiots! Find that dog and shoot it!

Tintin: Cowards! Murderers! Rastapopoulos!

Rastapopoulos: In person, dear boy. Welcome to my island paradise. And you thought I was out of the picture forever. Well, sorry to disappoint you. I'm fed up with your constant meddling in my business. This time I will crush you like... like... like this spider! Diablo! At least you won't leave this island alive. Get everything ready, Allan.

Allan: Ok, boss.

Tintin: Why have you brought us here?

Rastapopoulos: But I didn't! You should stay in flight 714. No, all I want is Mr. Carreidas money.

Carreidas: You're mad!

Rastapopoulos: No, just well inform. You see: I know all about your ten million dollars in your secret Swiss bank count. I know the name of the bank, the false name you hold it under and I have magnificent examples of your signature. All I need now is the account number which you will kindly give me.

Carreidas: Never!

Rastapopoulos: Never say never, my dear Mr. Carreidas. Wouldn't you agree, Dr. Krollspell? You see: the doctor has invented a serum that makes people tell the truth whether they want to or not. Take him away!

Carreidas: My hat, you scoundrel! I need my hat!

Haddock: Give the cheat his hat before he get sunstroke.


Allan: He won't get sunstroke where he's going. You hold it for him.

Haddock: Ten thousand... Tramps, televines, troglodytes, savages!

Tintin: Left, Captain. Now to the right. A little to the left. No, Captain, left. Left!

Haddock: Ten thousand thundering typhoons! When I get my hands on you, Allan, I'll stuff your hat down your throat!

Allan: Welcome to the parlor, gentlemen.

Tintin: What's going to happen to us?

Allan: After Carreidas talk, you go back to the plane, be towed out to sea and sunk. So, enjoy what little time you have left, gentlemen.

Haddock: Bandit! Bootlegger! Bashi-bazouk!

Tintin: Hear, let me get that hat off.

Calculus: Oh, my precious hat! Disgraceful, it's disgraceful!

Haddock:

Tintin: Shhh! Listen!

Haddock: What is it?

Calculus: Disgraceful!

Tintin: Nothing. I guess I thought I heard Snowy barking.

Haddock: I don't know, Tintin. I think maybe... Snowy is...

Carreidas: Don't touch me! You won't get one word out of me. Not one word.

Krollspell: He'll talk now, Mr. Rastapopoulos.

Rastapopoulos: I hope so for your sake. Now, Mr. Carreidas, the number of your Swiss bank count, please.

Carreidas: Assassins! 12 9 1933. Yes, that's it!

Krollspel: It worked!

Yeah, the 12 of September 1933. Yes, that was the day I stole for the first time. I was four years old. I stole a pear for a fruit stand.

Rastapopoulos: What's this rubbish?

Krollspell: He's showing resistance. I'll give him another shot.

Rastapopoulos: Now, the account number!

Carreidas: 2 10 35

Rastapopoulos: You're sure?

Carreidas: Oh, yes. Absolutely!

Rastapopoulos: Finally!

Carreidas: Yeah, from my elder sister's handbag: two hundred and ten dollars and thirty five cents. She never suspected me for one moment.

Rastapopoulos: Congratulations Krollspell. Your serum is a brilliant success.

Tintin: I heard something.

Haddock: Yes... It sounds like...

Tintin: Snowy! You're alive! Quick Snowy! Chew through the ropes! Good boy!

Haddock: Three cheers for Snowy! Hip, hip hoorray!

Tintin: Captain!

Haddock: Now what I have done?

Tintin: Wait here, Snowy!

Bad guy: What's all that noise?

Calculus: Silly. I don't care what they say. It's a silly joke.

Bad guy: I said what's going on? I want to know now!

Haddock: Well! Well done!

Tintin: Good boy, Snowy!

Calculus: I still say it was a silly joke.

Tintin: Skut, take Gino and the Professor and hide somewhere near the bunker.

Skut: Right.

Tintin: Captain, we'll look for Carreidas. I think Snowy can trace him for the scent of his hat.

Haddock: Ok, but let's get out of here before Allan shows up.

Tintin: Professor! We've got to go.

Calculus: You're feeling rather low. Well, I'm not suprised, my pendulum is behaving very strangly also.

Tintin: Come on!

Calculus: It's incredible! I've never seen anything like it.

Rastapopoulos: I'm loosing my temper, Krollspell.

Carreidas: Turn the light off.

Krollspell: He's waking up!

Rastapopoulos: I want the account number!

Carreidas: Don't yell. I'm such a horrible man. My grandfather was right: Lazslo, he used to say, Lazslo, remember: an ill go to heaven toghethers no gain

Rastapopoulos: Idiot! This is all your fault!

Krollspell: My boss, I can explain!

Rastapopoulos: You stuck me with the needle!

Tintin: What is it, boy? That must be where they're holding Carreidas.

Rastapopoulo: I'm loosing my temper, Krollspell!

Krollspell: I'm sorry, boss.

Rastapopoulos: Clumsy quack! That needle was empty. Wasn't it?

Krollspell: Well, almost... Are you feeling bad?

Rastapopoulos: Bad? Me? Bad? Of course I'm bad!

Carreidas: Bad? You don't know bad. I'm an evil genius.

Rastapopoulos: Don't cry. You couldn't possibly be as bad as me.

Carreidas: What are you talking about? I'm bader than you!

Rastapopoulos: Are not.

Carreidas: I'm to.

Rastapopoulos: Are not.

Carreidas: I'm to.

Rastapopoulos: Tell him, Krollspell. Tell him I'm the baddest!

Krollspell: He is the...

Rastapopoulos: Tell him how I was going to shoot you after I got the account number.

Krollspell: He falls... What??

Carreidas: That's not bad. My greathead was so ashamed of me she laid down and died! Now, that's bad.

Rastapopoulos: That's nothing! I ruined three brothers, two sisters and drag my parents down to the gather.

Tintin: Do you believe this?

Rastapopoulos: What? Nobody blows a raspberry at me. Take this!

Tintin: We better get in there.

Krollspell: Help me, the boss... Help me, the boss has gone crazy!

Tintin: Tie him up. I'll deal with Rastapopoulos.

Carreidas: I'm to.

Rastapopoulos: Are not!

Tintin: All right. That's enough.

Rastapopoulos: Tintin! You know me. Tell him I'm the baddest.

Carreidas: Are not!

Haddock: Hear, stop that. Blistering barnacles, you're unbearable.

Carreidas: So, who's the baddest now. I'm the baddest. I am the baddest.

Krollspell: You have to help me. He was going to kill me.

Haddock: I said stop it! Blistering...

Krollspell: You've got to help me, please.

Rastapopoulos: Nobody loves me.

Haddock: I'm the baddest. Now let's move it. This way!

Tintin: This will be some story.

Haddock: All right. That's enough. Come on. Cut it out. You hear me? What's so funny?

Tintin: Nothing!

Haddock: Blistering barnacles. Why didn't I just stay home? Hey, get back here.

Tintin: Captain! Quiet!

Haddock: Go back to these. The serum hasn't worn off yet. All right. Cut it out! Why, you!

Tintin: Captain, no! He's delirious. He doesn't know what he's doing.

Haddock: Blistering barnacles.

Tintin: Now let's get moving. We can't wait for the serum to wear off. We've to find the others before... Keep down!

Haddock: Rastapopoulos!

Tintin: You'd better go after him. I'll hold down the fort.

Haddock: Hey, get back here. Blistering barnacles. Confound everything. He got away.

Tintin: That's ok. Just get Carreidas and Dr. out of here.

Haddock: But...

Tintin: I'll catch you in the top of the mountain.

Haddock: Come on!

Allan: Hey, boss! Over here! Boss, you've escaped! Sorry, I...

Rastapopoulos: Never mind! Just get me Carreidas.

Allan: Give it up, wonder boy. You're out gun! Hey, I'm talking to you. He must to run for it.

Rastapopoulos: And what are you waiting for? After them! But I want Carreidas alive!

Allan: All right boys, let's go.

Tintin: Captain? Try to pick up their scent, Snowy. What? What's happening? Who's that? Who's there? What? 50 meters West?

Allan: Try the clearing!

Tintin: Come on, Snowy!

Haddock: Don't forget that Rastapopoulos plan to kill you.

Krollspell: Don't worry. I want to get off this island as much as you do.

Haddock: Good. Then you take care of Carreidas and I'll go look for Tintin. He'll never find us in here.

Tintin: Grab Carreidas and follow me.

Haddock: How in blazes did he?

Tintin: Come on!

Haddock: But where are you taking us?

Tintin: Higher up. Look for a flat Stone.

Haddock: What? Tintin!!

Tintin: Bingo!

Haddock: How do you know there was...

Tintin: Quick! Into the cave!

Haddock: But I hate caves, Tintin!

Allan: Tintin! You're trapped! Come on there out! I'll... I'll blow you! All right. You asked for it. One, two, three... What I am doing? The boss wants Carreidas alive.

Rastapopoulos: Idiot.

Tintin: It's the strangest thing, Captain.

Haddock: You're hearing what?

Tintin: A voice in my head! It's telling me what to do.

Haddock: That's crazy!

Tintin: Maybe, but this voice hasn't steered me wrong yet. Look!

Haddock: Wow!

Allan: I'm sorry, boss.

Rastapopoulos: Never mind me! Where are my prisoners?

Allan: There in the cave.

Rastapopoulos: Well, go in and got them.

Allan: You heard the boss. What are you waitng for? Get in there.

Haddock: You and your voices. Now we're trapped.

Allan: Quick, this way!

Tintin: The right eye of the statue. Press the right eye? An underground passage! Hurry!

Rastapopoulos: What's that?

Allan: This belongs to Carreidas!

Rastapopoulos: Idiot! There must be some kind of passage behind this! Go get the dynamite.

Allan: You heard him! Get the dynamite!

Haddock: But how did you know to press the eye of that statue?

Tintin: The voice told me!

Haddock: Voices! Voices! Have you completely...? Who's that? Yes, sorry. I'll be quiet. Sorry. Tintin, wait for me!

Tintin: Professor?

Calculus: Most peculiar!

Tintin: Professor Calculus? Professor, I thought you were back at the camp. What are you doing here?

Calculus: Oh, hello Tintin. Do you say, oh why hope not, but my pendulum is behaving I'll have to ask our host.

Tintin: Host?

Calculus: Ghost? Oh, no. He's quite real, see for yourself.

Haddock: What?

Mik: Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Mik Kanrokitoff.

Tintin: You're the voice in my head.

Mik: Da! This talk transmiter allows for telepatic communication.

Tintin: That's quite some invention you came up with.

Mik: I cannot take the credit. The talk transmiter was invented by those from the other world.

Haddock: What other world?

Mik: I am acting as a link between Earth and those on an extraterrestral planet.. Aliens, I believe you're calling them.

Haddock: Aliens? Oh, come on. You expect us to believe that?

Mik: See that? Proof is on the wall. That was painted over a thousand years ago.

Tintin: That looks like a spaceship.

Carreidas: Say! Where is my hat?

Tintin: What's the matter?

Krollspell: The serum has gone off. I thought he'll be OK, but he's gone crazy.

Carreidas: Yu will pay for what you've done. All of you! And I want my hat. Where is my hat? Go look for it now at once!

Mik: You are under my control. Be quiet and do as you are told.

Carreidas: OK.

Mik: Here is your hat. Put it on and be quiet.

Carreidas: Oh, thank you. I always catch cold when my head's uncovered. Wonderful day isn't that? Hey, where's your manners? I've just lifted my hat to you.

Calculus: You saw a cat, really?

Carreidas: Upstart!

Calculus: Hey! Stop! Help!

Tintin: Professor! Get a hold of yourself.

Calculus: No, it was him! He started it.

Tintin: Mr. Kanrokitoff...

Mik: You are wondering about your friends, yes?

Tintin: Gino! Skut! You're safe!

Haddock: Relax. It's only a tremor. These old sea islands are famous for them.

Mik: It's true, but this is not an ordnary island. This temple is built in center of volcano. One more tremor and it may erupt!

Tintin: Is the volcano erupting?

Mik: That was not a volcano. It was explosion set up by gangsters, I think.

Haddock: Thundering typhoons.

Mik: I'm sensing great danger very close.

Rastapopoulos: We've got them now.

Mik: Hurry! We must get to the crater!

Tintin: But if the volcano is erupting!

Mik: But that's where we... The smoke is poison! Hold handkerchief over mouth!

Allan: Clear out!

Rastapopoulos: I give the orders! Ah! Clear out!

Carreidas: Good heavens! It's dripping on my head! Ah! My hat! Where is my hat? My hat!

Haddock: Hey! Get back here!

Carreidas: I need my hat! Make way!

Tintin: Captain! Come on, Captain! That's it! Captain! Here, Captain! Got you! Let's go!

Mik: Stay toghether. We are almost there.

Calculus: Most particular! What's this? Oh, fascinating! Look everyone. Hello? Hello?

Allan: All island is gonna blow. Run for your lives!

Bad guy: To the dingy.

Rastapopoulos: Hey, wait for me!

Haddock: You must be crazy. leading us to the crater of a volcano that's ready to blow.

Mik: It is where astroship is coming.

Haddock: You are crazy!

Tintin: Captain! Have you seen the Professor?

Haddock: Yeah! He was right behind us...

Tintin: He's still inside!

Haddock: You can't go back there! Tintin! Tintin!!

Tintin: Professor Calculus! Captain! Will he be OK, doctor?

Krollspell: He should be.

Mik: Repeat! We require immediate evacuation.

Tintin: Any luck?

Mik: They are coming.

Haddock: I don't believe what I'm seeing.

Mik: Quick! Climb the ladder!

Tintin: Come on, Snowy!

Mik: All aboard, pilot.

Tintin: Wow! This is incredible!

Haddock: Blistering barnacles!

Skut: This is amazing!

Calculus: Fantastic!

Haddock: No one would ever believe this!

Mik: That is correct. No one believe your story because you will never tell it.

Haddock: What? Of course we will.

Mik: Niet. You see. Our host believe that many on earth are not ready to be learning of other worlds.

Tintin: What are you going to do?

Mik: You will not be hard. Simple mass hypnosis. It's all.

Haddock: Mass hypnosis is imposible. Besides that sort of nonsense would never affect us!

Mik: You will be forgetting everything about this island.

All: Forget.

Mik: The last thing you will be remembering is flight in Mr. Carreidas jet.

All: Carreidas jet.

Mik: Captain Skut! The flight is uneventful.

Skut: Uneventful.

Mik: Mr. Carreidas. You play a game of battleship with Captain Haddock.

Carreidas: Battleship.

Mik: You are cheating, naturally.

Carreidas: Naturally.

Mik: From that point on, your memories are a complete blank. Do you understand?

Allan: I'm telling you it's a flying saucer.

Rastapopoulos: I don't care what it is. Just shoot it down! Keep firing!

All: Yes, sir.

Mik: Now Tintin: you and your comrades, please,... Come back, Dr. Krollspell, we have special one for you.

All: Plane is crashing. Sleep now.

Victor: Victor Hotel Bravo to Macassar tower. We're over it.

Macassar tower: Can you see the island?

Victor: And what's left of it.

Pilot: Did you get it?

Another pilot: Sure did. What a sight!

Pilot: Macassar tower, we've got some folks in a lifeboat down there!

Another pilot: Well, I'll be.

Tintin: Where are we?

Pilot: So, you have no idea how you got over 300 miles of your flight course.

Tintin: No.

Pilot: Well, how about the rest of the crew.

All: Well, I can't remember.

TV voice: As reported, Dr. Krollspell, the former head of New Delhi's psychiatric clinic, was wandering somewhere in India suffering from a severe case of amnesia. In a story that may be related, all the survivors of the greatest jet crash are also affected with amnesia. Colin is at the Yakarta airport with that story. Colin.

Colin: I'm here with the well-known reporter Tintin, who was among the survivors of the crash. Tintin, tell us: what happened out there?

Tintin: Well, there was nothing unusual about the flight but everything after the take-off is a complete blank.

Colin: So, you have no clue as how you ended up near that erupting volcano?

Tintin: Only one. I'll let Professor Calculus tell you about it.

Calculus: It has to do with this boot I discovered in my pocket after I rescue. I have completed my test on it and they all point to the same thing. This metal was not made on earth. We just don't have the technology.

Colin: There you have it, folks: odd coincidence or aliens involved? Who can ever tell us what really happened?
