Quotes7

  • Luana: I happy, Johnny. I happy you steal me away and we live together. I happy you teach me kiss. I happy you hold me. I happy for everything! It was best thing that ever come to me.
  • Johnny Baker: Say, I feel like a potato bug. We can't run under these leaves every time it rains. I've got to build a house!
  • Luana: 'ouse?
  • Johnny Baker: Yeah! A place to live in. Shelter. You know, a place to sleep.
  • Luana: He-hit-ta-ho-a-hair-ra-ha. He-ah-he-ha!
  • [kiss-kiss-kiss]
  • Luana: He-ah-he-ha!
  • [kiss]
  • Johnny Baker: Oh, yeah. Well, that too!
  • Johnny Baker: When the gang comes back, I'm gonna take you home with me.
  • Luana: No, Johnny. No.
  • Johnny Baker: Well, why not?
  • Luana: Someday, Pelle angry. Tom-toms call. I go.
  • Johnny Baker: You mean to the volcano? I won't let you go. You belong to me now.
  • Luana: If I not here, when Pelle call, then Pelle angry. You too! Volcano curse on you! You die, too.
  • Johnny Baker: Aw, now that's a lot of hooey. I'm not afraid of Pelle and what a volcano curse can do to me. And you're not going to be afraid either. I'm gonna take you back to civilization. They don't have any crazy, superstitious ideas about volcanos being mad at people and puttin' a curse on 'em.
  • Luana: Civilization? Where that?
  • Johnny Baker: Well, that's not a place. That's where things are happening. People are accomplishing something.
  • Johnny Baker: Ever tell you about the radio? Well, all you do is sit there and turn a little dial and all of the sudden out of the air comes sound. Right where you are.
  • [Luana laughs]
  • Johnny Baker: Isn't that swell? Now, look. It's getting dark. Now, if we were in San Francisco, bingo, I press a button - lights!
  • Luana: Oh, Johnny, it is so nice in the dark.
  • Johnny Baker: Say, Luana, you certainly make civilization look silly. But, it's not really, it's great. Gee, wait'll you see it. Market Street with all the traffic and lights. People going to theaters. Hotels with grand tiled bathrooms. Hot water running into steaming tubs. Restaurants where they serve grand food. Parties. Football games. Dances. Speed boats. Airplane roaring through the air!
  • Luana: Johnny.
  • Johnny Baker: Luana.
  • Luana: Johnny!
  • Johnny Baker: Luana! What are they gonna do to you? What are they gonna do to you?
  • Luana: I make me sin, Johnny. They give me - to Pelle.
  • Johnny Baker: Aw, you haven't sinned. I loved you and you loved me. That's all there is to it.
  • Luana: But, I taboo for white man, Johnny.
  • Luana: I sin! Pelle god, he angry at me.
  • Johnny Baker: No, Pelle's no god, Luana. He's only a hole in the ground! There's only one God, Luana. Oh God, help us.
