Dr Robin Doyle returns to the jungle with her nephew Ian, a bookish child with few friends who spends his time collecting butterflies. While Robin and the Professor spend some quality time `spooning', the task of entertaining Ian falls to Tarzan, whom Ian sees as a much-needed role model.

00:00How do I look, Jane?
00:10Like a nervous wreck.
00:11Relax, Professor.
00:12Do you think she'll be excited to see me again?
00:15Well, she crossed two continents and an ocean to visit you.
00:18That's a good sign.
00:19I can't wait to spend time with her.
00:22Just the two of us.
00:25Archimedes!
00:26I've still got it.
00:30Oh, how wonderful to see you again.
00:33Welcome back, Robin.
00:35Why, Archimedes, how sweet.
00:38Oh, my.
00:40It's good to see you again, Dr. Doyle.
00:42And it's good to see all of you.
00:44I brought quite a surprise.
00:46A surprise?
00:47Oh, you don't say.
00:48What could it be?
00:49Auntie?
00:51Are you sure this is the right place?
00:54Everyone, this is my nephew, Ian.
00:56Can we go home now?
00:58Oh, but darling, we just got here.
01:00He's a wee bit shy.
01:02Don't worry, though.
01:03He's going to spend all of his time with you and me, Archimedes.
01:06Now, won't that be fun?
01:08Just the three of us.
01:11Oh, yes.
01:13The three of us.
01:22Ian has never left America, so I thought it would be educational for him to visit Africa.
01:27Hmm.
01:28This is a Cercanthus elatus, isn't it?
01:31Why, yes, it is.
01:33Now, don't get too close to the pollen, Ian.
01:35Mind your allergies.
01:37Did you take your medicine?
01:38Yes, Auntie.
01:40I took it back on the boat.
01:42Dr. Doyle, I'm sure that you and Daddy have lots of catching up to do.
01:45So why not let us take, Ian?
01:48Well, I suppose that's all right.
01:51But be very careful, Ian.
01:53You stay close to Tarzan and Jane.
01:56Yes, Auntie.
01:58So, Ian, what's your idea of fun?
02:02I collect butterflies.
02:03Oh, lovely.
02:05But I was looking for a little something we could all do together.
02:08What games do you play with your friends back home?
02:11I don't have any friends.
02:12No friends?
02:14The other kids don't like me.
02:16I'm sure that's not true, Ian.
02:18No, it is.
02:19Nobody ever picks me to be on their team.
02:22But it's okay.
02:23I have my butterflies.
02:25See? Aren't they beautiful?
02:27Ian, I'll be your friend.
02:30You will?
02:31Yes, I will.
02:33Ah! What was that?
02:37Can't you sneeze normal like everybody else?
02:40Sorry, Turk.
02:42Wild animals!
02:43Wild animals? Where?
02:45I think he means us.
02:46They carry lice and bacteria.
02:49You carry lice and bacteria?
02:52And I'm finding this out now?
02:54Lice is part of a well-rounded diet.
02:58Ian, Turk and Tantor are my friends.
03:01Really?
03:03Will they be my friends, too?
03:05Well, I could put you on a waiting list, but you'll have to do it.
03:08Certainly. Delighted to meet you.
03:10You like butterflies, huh?
03:12Oh, yes. I have over 30 species in my collection.
03:15Then hang on.
03:17Whoa!
03:18Ah!
03:19Turk!
03:20Sam, you'll scare the poor boy half to death.
03:23Nah, Ian can handle this. Right, Ian?
03:26Well, I don't...
03:28You're doing fine.
03:30I guess I am.
03:32See?
03:33Very well, but be careful. He's just a boy.
03:37Ah!
03:38Whoa!
03:39Whoa!
03:40Ah!
03:46Where are we?
03:50Ah!
03:52An emperor butterfly!
03:54These are extremely rare!
04:09Hello? Jane, dear?
04:12Ah, Daddy!
04:14Dr Doyle! What brings you here?
04:16Oh, I just wanted to be sure Ian takes his afternoon antihistamine.
04:19Oh, well, Ian went for a little constitutional with Tarzan.
04:24Oh. Well, I do hope they're being careful.
04:27You know, Ian is such a fragile boy.
04:29Oh, not to worry, Robin.
04:31You can't be any safer than when you're with Tarzan.
04:35Ah!
04:39Whoo-hoo!
04:42Whoa! Can we do that again?
04:46Do you like to climb?
04:47Uh-huh.
04:48Okay.
04:52Ah!
04:54I want you to teach me
04:57Because you care and you were there
05:00When no one else could reach me
05:03You came to me and now I see
05:06That I can run and climb and do
05:09Things I never knew
05:11Look at me!
05:13I can be like you
05:17You are everything that I want to be
05:23You are the one who believed in me
05:29Show me how to fly as we go soaring through the trees
05:34Swinging high, touch the sun with me
05:39I can be like you
05:41I can be like you
05:44I can be like you
05:46I can rule the jungle
05:48I can sing the way you do
05:51I can learn
05:53I can turn to you
05:57You are everything that I want to be
06:03You are the one who believed in me
06:09Show me how to fly as we go soaring through the trees
06:14Swinging high, touch the sky with me
06:19I can be like you
06:22I can be like you
06:25I can be like you
06:28Whoo!
06:33So, when do you expect Tarzan and Ian to come back?
06:36Hmm?
06:37Oh, they should be back soon.
06:42What's the matter?
06:43Oh, I just spilled some tea.
06:45Oh, here, let me clean it up, will you?
06:47So, uh, where did you say Tarzan took Ian?
06:51Oh, into the jungle, you know, to look out!
06:56Look out?
06:57Uh, yes, they were looking out for flowers and birds
07:02and that sort of thing.
07:03Oh, oh, yes, that's nice.
07:05Well, as long as he's safe.
07:07You know, if anything were to happen to Ian,
07:09my sister would never forgive me.
07:11No!
07:13Ooh!
07:14Huh?
07:15Oh, no, sugar!
07:16There's no sugar in your tea.
07:18Please allow me.
07:19Yes, yes.
07:22Oh!
07:24So Tarzan's giving Ian a helping hand, huh?
07:27That's nice.
07:28Are you my...
07:29Say that!
07:31That's enough, Jane dear.
07:34Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
07:38Oh, my!
07:39You'll be going to be late to watch the sunset from the river.
07:42The atmospheric diffraction is especially pronounced
07:45through the evaporating mist.
07:47Oh, all right, then.
07:48I'll see Ian a little later.
07:50Now, you tell him to be safe.
07:52I most certainly will.
07:56Tarzan, a word.
08:01Yes?
08:02Uh, darling, I appreciate you entertaining Ian,
08:06but swinging on vines and hanging upside down from branches
08:09could be considered as dangerous for a little boy.
08:11Really?
08:12I did it all the time when I was his age.
08:14Hey, Tarzan!
08:15Should we play dodge the leopard again?
08:17Sure.
08:18Dodge the what?
08:19Woo-hoo!
08:22Oh, dear.
08:23Oh, dear.
08:31The light waves absorbed by your retinal tissue
08:34give your eyes a lovely color.
08:36Oh, I heard comedies.
08:38What a sweet thing to say.
08:40You know, that article you wrote on the mating habits
08:42of bivalve arthropods was very stimulating.
08:47Well, now, that research you did
08:49on cross-pollination of Delphi spores,
08:52oh, it was just so sensitive.
08:56Really?
08:57Oh, I was moved.
09:03Okay, the winner is the first one
09:05who swings across the gorge,
09:06grabs the mango, and swings back.
09:08Remember, you gotta change vines.
09:11Now, I will be judging both for form and distance,
09:14as well as...
09:15Tarzan!
09:16Can I speak with you for a moment?
09:18Hey, we're working here!
09:20Be right back.
09:23Darling, I hate to interfere with your fun and games,
09:26but Ian...
09:27Ian likes doing all this,
09:28and he's not so afraid anymore.
09:30And that's wonderful, but Ian's not you, Tarzan,
09:33and sooner or later, he's going to get hurt.
09:38We're like two polarized electrolytes.
09:42Can't you just feel the attraction between us?
09:45Archimedes, you charmer.
09:47When I look in your eyes,
09:49do you know what I see, Robin?
09:52I see... Ian?
09:54Ian?
09:55Ian!
09:57Ian!
09:58Hi, Auntie Robin!
10:00Ian, you come down from there this instant!
10:03What?
10:04I said, come down from there!
10:07Okay!
10:16Hi!
10:23Oh, good heavens!
10:24Dr. Doyle, are you all right?
10:27Auntie Robin?
10:38Oh, there, there, my dear.
10:40Nothing to worry about. The lad is fine.
11:02No problem!
11:04Oops!
11:07Aah!
11:15Wasps!
11:16Aah!
11:17The moment you look away from him,
11:19he's going to be in deep trouble.
11:21Then I won't look away.
11:22Uh, too late.
11:24Aah!
11:38I'm okay!
11:42Aah!
11:46Aah!
11:53Aah!
11:54Aah!
11:56Aah!
12:07Aah!
12:29That was okay.
12:31But I prefer wrestling panthers.
12:38Ian!
12:39Just what were you thinking, jumping off that cliff?
12:42Tarzan did it.
12:43Oh, and I suppose if Tarzan jumped off a bridge,
12:46you'd just...
12:48Never mind. Strike that.
12:50It's no big deal, Auntie Robin.
12:52I've jumped a lot farther than that.
12:54I beg your pardon?
12:56Oh, yeah, I dove off a waterfall this afternoon.
12:58You dove off a waterfall?
13:01Well, no.
13:03Oh, thank goodness.
13:04I dove off a rhino into the waterfall.
13:07Rhino?
13:08It was okay.
13:10The poisonous eels had already left.
13:12Poisonous eels?
13:14Maybe I should just be quiet.
13:17You are grounded, young man.
13:19I don't want you stepping foot outside of this treehouse.
13:22You hear me?
13:23But Tarzan and I were going to explore the leopard caves tomorrow.
13:27Mm-hmm.
13:28Well, if you're trying to convince me I'm wrong, young man,
13:30that's a very poor argument.
13:32No fair!
13:33Tarzan, tell her it's okay!
13:35Uh, your aunt is right, Ian.
13:38We went too far.
13:39You're just a little boy.
13:41You could have gotten hurt.
13:43You think I'm a weakling,
13:45just like the kids at school.
13:47I thought you believed in me!
13:50Oh, no, we'd best leave him alone for the moment.
13:53His mood will improve come morning.
14:04Ian!
14:05Ian!
14:06Ian?
14:07Ian!
14:08Oh, where can he be?
14:11Don't worry, my dear.
14:13We'll find him.
14:14And if we don't, Tarzan will.
14:17Oh, that poor boy.
14:19He's out there all alone, lost, terrified.
14:24Oh, that poor boy.
14:26He's out there all alone, lost, terrified.
14:31Ow!
14:52Hold it!
15:01He went that way.
15:03You picked up his scent?
15:05Oh, yeah.
15:06And his footprints were a good hint, too.
15:09Whoo-hoo!
15:18Hi there, little fella!
15:39A cave!
15:41You in there, little guy?
15:58Ah!
16:09We'd better win Tarzan, did it?
16:22Help!
16:26Whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:27Maybe if we just stay right here,
16:29Ian will find us.
16:31Oh, yeah, right.
16:32Maybe he'll just run through those trees over there
16:34and come right to you.
16:39Ah, you're good.
16:41Whoa, where are you going?
16:43We've been looking for you.
16:45Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!
16:46What's the hurry?
16:50Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!
17:00Perhaps if I go this way, you go that way.
17:02One moment.
17:03I hear something.
17:04Yes, something's coming.
17:06I'm getting closer.
17:08Daddy!
17:09I'm getting a fix on it.
17:13Professor?
17:16Ian!
17:17See? There he is.
17:18Everything's fine.
17:27Which way do I go?
17:29Don't go right.
17:30It leads to a cliff.
17:32All right.
17:33Right?
17:34No, left.
17:35Right.
17:36Right it is!
18:00There's too many of them!
18:05Oh, no.
18:36Oh, no!
19:01I say, good show, Tarzan.
19:04Thanks, Tarzan.
19:18Oh, my.
19:19I miss you, Archimedes.
19:21Will you be attending the bio-conference
19:24on lateral stem germination this fall?
19:29I wouldn't miss it for the world.
19:31I hear the spore footage is very controversial.
19:37Sorry I caused all that trouble, Tarzan.
19:39We're still friends?
19:41We're friends, Ian.
19:42And I trust we'll leave the tree swinging
19:44and baboon biting to Tarzan?
19:46Yes, ma'am.
19:48Ian, this is for you.
19:51And don't forget this.
19:56You keep it.
19:58From now on, I'm going to play with the other kids.
20:09Thanks for everything, Tarzan!
