00:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:06,

00:35 Ah, the big city, with its teeming multitudes,

00:38 its excitement, its robust existence,

00:41 people engaged in the stimulating

00:43 struggle for achievement.

00:44 For here, things run like clockwork, have to.

00:47 Time is valuable.

00:49 You're late, Geef.

00:50 Get to work.

00:52 Geef's plans and ambitions will one day

00:54 be realized if he keeps pace with the ever-present

00:57 challenge.

00:58 You're killing time, Geef.

01:00 Get to work.

01:02 And as time goes on, he feels a sense of satisfaction

01:05 in keeping the wheels turning smoothly as each fruitful day

01:09 follows the other.

01:10 But somewhere deep within every man is a feeling of escape.

01:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:23 Quit dreaming, Geef.

01:24 Get to work.

01:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:37 And so a tiny coral island took this Malihini, this stranger,

01:42 to its heart on this isle of exotic beauty

01:46 where time stands still.

01:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:54 Worry that was never meant to be.

01:57 Cast all your troubles in the tropic sea.

02:01 The sunlight and starlight are all for free.

02:05 It's the place for a man to be.

02:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:12 Hurry, hurry, come along with me.

02:16 Down where the breeze is sighing tenderly,

02:19 the music you hear from the rolling sea.

02:23 Here's the place for a man like me.

02:26 [WHISTLING]

02:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:41 You're fired.

02:43 Oh, yeah?

02:44 I quit.

02:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:56 With this final gesture, Malihini Geef

02:59 bids aloha to his old life.

03:02 Here, a kind and friendly providence

03:05 has made it easy to obtain shelter.

03:08 And here, in a holly or house of his own creation,

03:12 gentle winds whisper, sleep, sleep.

03:18 Here in the nighttime come the tiptoe footfalls

03:22 of tropic rain, caressing, soothing like a lullaby.

03:29 And kindly, life-loving nature beams down upon him.

03:33 So it was here amidst the confines of the gods

03:40 that Geef knew he had found his paradise complete.

03:45 And with life's necessities so bountifully provided,

03:48 Geef has the time a man needs for relaxation

03:51 and thoughtful meditation.

03:55 Amid this tropic tranquility, he is

03:57 able to release a long stifled ambition to paint.

04:02 And at long last, he is free to write his novel.

04:05 [YELLING]

04:10 Game music tells of festivities, saying, heli mai, wiki wiki,

04:15 come to the luau.

04:17 [YELLING]

04:19 Gathered from the profusion of nature's storehouse

04:29 is niu waiu, the milk of the coconut,

04:33 halakahiki, the pineapple, fresh breadfruit,

04:37 delicacies from the sea, shark fin soup,

04:41 topped with the soothing elixir of the luau, the bromo uki.

04:47 Yes, in the words of venerable Ikaani,

04:49 last of the ancient priests, ke ala i ka pu u wai,

04:54 a ia maka opu, or the way to a man's heart

04:58 is through his stomach.

04:58 But there is still more.

05:04 Lovely Polynesian wahines dancing

05:07 to the lilting and expressive language of the hula.

05:10 The Malahine's eyes follow the rhythmic hands that weave

05:14 a happy tale of the islands, telling a story of the coming

05:19 of a great white god.

05:21 Now is the time for rejoicing.

05:23 [LAUGHTER]

05:25 [HORN BLOWING]

05:28 [DRUMMING]

05:32 The honored guests, so the gods say,

05:35 for it is he and he alone who can appease angry Peli,

05:40 the fire goddess.

05:42 And so a sacrificial tribute must

05:44 be offered by the simple, lovable, hospitable islanders.

05:50 Geef knew the friendly natives wouldn't

05:51 throw him to the volcano, but they did.

05:55 Aloha!

05:56 [HOWLING]

06:02 Mighty Peli is stilled.

06:04 Romance blossoms again.

06:07 Kindly Polynesian gods smile upon the islands,

06:12 and trade winds whisper, this is paradise once more.

06:18 [HOWLING]

06:21 Goodbye.

06:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:25 [HOWLING]
