“ Beachcomber Bill
You stay out of this! You stay out of this, you little pelican! Ah, no matter what happened, I'm gonna eat 'em, see?
Paddy Pelican
Hurry up! Hurry up, fellas! Run to the island! If you climb the trees, you won't be able to get down! Hurry up! Hurry up!
Beachcomber Bill
That blasted— You come here! You can't get away from me, so you might as well quit tryin'! Halt! Halt! I'll throw this war harpoon at ye, I'll tell you!
Buster Bear
Amos, y-y-you zig, and-and I'll zag, and-and-and-and then he won't-he won't catch us!
Beachcomber Bill
You pesky bird! Get away from my face! ”

“ Sorry, Tom, but I can't help you. You'll have to get out from under the parachute by yourself, that's all.
Tom
But I can't get out! Oh, I'm gonna make another wish. I'm gonna wish for a big wind—a real big one! A real big one! ”

“ We're in a tunnel—must be a secret passage that the medicine man used to get into the golden statue without being seen by the Indians.
Captain Shafto
I don't know where the tunnel's gonna lead us, but wherever it does, it's gonna be an improvement. That brass ring saved our lives.
Mary
Oh, this must be the old medicine man's teepee. Oh, we must take Pirate Pete by surprise. Oh, I hope we're not too late to save the Solar Indian Chief!
Mary
Look! Look, Pirate Pete's ruffians are looting the village. They're taking everything that's made of gold. They aren't content with the gold in the mine. ”

“ VAULT
Lord High Chancellor
Why, His Excellency and I have the only keys that I know of, young man. Whoever took the corn must be extremely clever.
Paddy Pelican
Ah, it would take more than cleverness to break into the vault. And, besides, the vault door wasn't broken. The vault was locked when Grandpa showed it to me.
Lord High Chancellor
Say, I just remembered, there is one other key to the vault. The keeper of the dungeon has kept that key, and I'm pretty sure he may have it. I'll take you to him. Perhaps he can explain where he was when the corn disappeared. If he can't, we'll have him. ”

“ Jack Horner
Whew! I'm lucky I didn't hit anything.
The Queen
Well, well, well, a newcomer! We don't have many visitors, but most people stay away from my valley. The people who do come—they like it here—least they never leave. Now, why did you come here?
Jack Horner
I come here to buy myself a chock load of plums, I did, and I've got lots of money here.
The Queen
Well, my dear boy, you've come to the right place. I own everything in the valley. Ahaha! Help yourself to the plums. Take all you want. Take more than you want. I'll have some of my people load your truck. ”

“ With anyone they tell things,
They always lend a hand.
Bucky and Pepito
Are known throughout the land.
The animals all love them,
Bad hombres shake with fear,
When Bucky and Pepito
Are trailing very, very near. ”

“ Never mind how I got here! Just give me those oars! I'm taking you back to Pelicanland. You have a lot of explaining to do.
Paddy Pelican
Why, why, you're not a pelican at all! You're a swan! You've been wearing an imitation beak. You're nothing but a spy!
Lord High Chancellor
Oh, please, please don't be too harsh with me, young man. I was just trying to help Swania get the better of Pelicanland.
Paddy Pelican
You're gonna carry back every sack of this corn to the vault, and don't complain about being too tired either! ”

“ Alright, fellas! Hold this up before you like a sail, now. The breeze is going towards the mainland, so you'll go along fine. Say, there's a ship! I better go fly over there to the island and-and tell them to rescue Beachcomber Bill.
Amos
Doggone, I don't see why Paddy's got to pick up Beachcomber Bill. He don't deserve to be rescued from the island. But I'm glad he's so kindhearted, because if he wasn't, Buster, you and I'd be stew in that kettle right this minute! ”

“ I'm gonna repair my balloon with this wad of gum and try to get out of here as fast as I can, that's all.
Gnome
Sorry, but you can't leave yet. There's a great deal more for you to see.
Tom
But, if I can wish for anything, I'll wish for a flight back home. That's what I'll do.
Gnome
That's one wish you can't be granted, Tom. You have to wish for something in the Land of More, and your home isn't here, that's all. You can't go home yet!
Tom
Then I know what I'll do. I'll wish for a parachute.
Tom
Oh, my! I guess that was a mistake to wish for a parachute, huh? Help! ”

“ Well, I know where there are plenty of plums, but they're in a distant part of Storyland called Plum Valley.
Jack Horner
Plum Valley? That's odd. I've never heard of such a place. How do you explain that?
Farmer
Well, nobody ever goes to Plum Valley. Lots of people have gone into the place, but nobody ever comes out. That's trouble, you know?
Jack Horner
But, if it's possible to get into the valley, it's certainly possible to get out. I'm gonna go there and buy all the plums, but first I'll call up Paddy Pelican. ”

“ Copyright law abroad tends to consider the following people authors of a film:
The principal director The screenwriter, and/or other writers of dialogue The composer/lyricist (if the film is accompanied by sound) The cinematographer By extension, the authors of any works that may serve as the basis for a film's plot The longest-living of these authors died in 2001, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 22 years or less. ”

“ Eh, even without the weapons, they heap bad medicine. Let them go down to the bottom of the sea, with ship. It serve them right to drown.
Captain Shafto
No, Chief, the pirates can repair the damage they've done in your village. And we can return everything they've taken from you.
Captain Shafto
All right, you pirates! Jump overboard! Head for the nearest canoe, all of you! We're gonna take you back to the Solar Indian mainland.
Mary
Captain Shafto, you can't go aboard the ship. It's sinking! You'll lose your life if you try to stay with it. Oh, please, stay here where you're safe! ”

“ The corn is all collected, and this is the big payoff day.
"SWANIA
FOILED
AGAIN"
Grandpa Perrywinkle
Oh, our newest shipment of corn has disappeared. It was put in the vault this morning. Oh, why, this could ruin Pelicanland if we don't find it! Oh, we owe fifty bushels of corn to the neighboring state of Swania. And if we don't pay that debt by midnight tonight, the swans will take over our country. Oh, I'd better summon the Lord High Chancellor at once. Oh, if we don't find that corn, Pelicanland is ruined! ”

“ Amos
I wouldn't mind a little dry land myself, Buster, but I sure hope we don't land on those rocks over there. They're comin' up mighty fast. And they're- Oh! Look out, now. They're gettin' too close for comfort, I'll tell you. It's dangerous to park at those rocks. Here we go, Buster. I'm afraid this is gonna be it. We can't possibly clear those rocks.
Buster Bear
Oh!
Buster Bear
Doggone, Amos, the boat is wrecked! But even so, I's happy to have my feet on solid ground again. Oh, my head is spinnin'! Oh!
Beachcomber Bill
So, you got smarts. ”

“ Will Paddy be able to save them? Well, let's find out!
"PIRATE
PETE"
Mary
The smoke's getting in here now. Before long, we won't be able to breathe. We certainly can't find any way out of this golden statue. ”

“ Haha! But I have a feeling you might want to stay here. There, you see? You see, you can't leave! You'll have to stay here and work for me! You can't even run up the mountain because it's so slippery! ”

“ You're screwin' up my aim! Stop it, I say! Stop it! I can't see what I'm doin'!
Paddy Pelican
Hooray! Stumbled and fell! That'll give you time to find an ol' tree, fellas, but climb as fast as you can. ”

“ Now, with a little mud on it, I can play a good dirty trick on him. Ahaha, boy!
Freddy
This is gonna be work! Augh! Oof! That hurt! Mm! That hurt! Mm! Wow! I'd better get that piggy bank and get out of here in a hurry. ”
