Come on, come on!
We should've waited for the relations.
Them Shepherdsons knew we were comin'!
- What happened to Miss Sophie? - Her and that Shepherdson made it across the river.
Them dirty scoundrels. George, I'm gonna kill 'em.
Billy!
Shoot 'im, boys!
Don't let 'im get away!
- See anything? - No.
Let's try this way!
Huck! Huckleberry!
You were mighty good to me, Billy.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you my real name.
It's Huck.
Huckleberry Finn.
I'm sorry, Billy.
Come on, Huck. Gotta bring him home.
Jim and me found the raft and fixed it up as best we could.
It felt good gettin'back on the river. Other places feel so cramped and smothered.
But the river don't. You always feel warm and safe and free on the river.
That wasn't my fault.
You are the sorriest thing I've ever seen.
That Russian fell in the river, that's what happened.
Hello there! We're lookin'for Cairo!
Can you tell us how close we are?
Chuckleheads, you already passed it! It's about 40 miles back!
Talk about lost!
Must've missed it that night in the fog, Jim.
I'll be caught and sold for sure.
How're we gonna get back to Cairo, Jim?
Sure can't take this raft back up the river.
And no how can we fight this current.
- No, but we could take a steamboat upriver! - Yeah!
We'll find one that's goin' north, and then you can buy us passage.
Yeah, we'll keep headin' south 'til we find us a steamboat.
- Take it all the way back up to Cairo. - Right up the Ohio.
All the way up to the free states.
Good thinkin', Huck.
Why, thank you, Jim.
- Here's some more wood, Jim. - Right there.
Tryin' to get this fire goin'.
Come on, Duke! Over here!
Why are you always stealin' chickens?
I love chickens. They're succulent.
- We're chicken thieves! That's as low as it gets. - Shut up and keep runnin'!
It seems to me, Jim, whenever anybody's after anybody,
it's usually me they's after.
Hello there, we's in need of assist!
- Let's get! - You bet!
Grab the oars!
- Hold up! I'm right behind you, Duke! - Come on, push off!
Huh?
What the...
Hey! Get your own raft!
- Thank you, lads. We'd be obliged. - Thanks, nothin'!
- You was gonna hightail out and just leave us, wasn't ya? - No, I weren't. Honest.
- Please, sir. - If ya don't let the boy go, how's he gonna save our hides?
Sorry, boy.
People tryin' to kill me and... dogs tryin' to rip my face off,
and it ain't even breakfast yet.
They call me the King, the King of Bilgewater, and this here's the Duke.
Pleased to meet ya.
The King and the Duke seemed like nice enough fellas,
but something about 'em made me feel mighty uneasy.
They asked us a considerable many questions.
- Yeow! - Bull's-eye. - And once again...
I decided it would be best to leave out the truth.
So... my ma grabbed onto the trapeze and swung one way.
My pa came a-swingin' on the other. My ma let go, did a double flip...
and missed my pa by a good six feet.
She made quite a mess when she hit them bleachers.
I think this boy's gonna fit right in.
Thank you, Jim. So what is it you two fellas do, exactly?
We do a fair bit of doctorin'.
Yeah. We can cure cancer, paralysis, baldness.
This time we're sellin' a thing that takes tartar off of teeth.
- And it does take it off too. - But unfortunately the...
- enamel goes right along with it. - Yeah, well!
We also do some theatre. Tragedy, you know.
Yeah, we got enough... Shakespearean costumes here for the lot of us.
But what we do best are the three Es.
Robbery, forgery...
and burglary.
Hell's bells! I wish I knew a good trade.
Well, maybe we'll teach you one, huh?
Yeow! Go... You skinny little rat bag!
I'm gonna wring your skinny little neck!
Hey, watch it! Stop peckin' at me!
- Oh, good morning, boys. - Good morning.
Aw, hello, Duke.
- We gotta run, now, huh? - Naw, naw, naw, naw.
- I just been borrowin' a few things. - Ah, yeah.
Nobody saw me.
But lookee what I found.
- You were headin' for your Uncle Billy's plantation, huh? - Now, wait a minute.
You're a runaway murderin'slave's what you are.
I think maybe I'll just collect that reward.
- He only murdered me. - Now, look, we ain't exactly the type...
to turn others into the law.
We stay as far away from the law as is humanly possible.
So if you two just, uh...
Listen up and shut up and do as you're told...
-and wait on us hand and foot... - and be real nice to us,
we won't say a word.
You step out of line, try and run and...
Oh, ho ho!
Easy prey.
- I'm all right! - Ya think? - I do.
- Shall we? - Let's.
Hello, there! Happy morn to ya!
And a good mornin' to you all too!
Say, you wouldn't happen to be...
the Wilks brothers, now, would ya?
- Yes. - No!
- No. - My name is Blodgett, Dr. Alexander Blodgett.
This here is Franciscus, uh,
Adolphus and Jim.
- Oh, shoot. - Adolphus?
- I reckon it don't matter. They already missed it anyways. - Missed? What?
Was an, um,
economic opportunity they missed, huh?
Oh, ho ho! No, no, no.
They'll get the money and the property all right, but...
they missed the death of their brother Peter Wilks...
down at Phelps Landing.
He died.
Last night.
- Too bad. - So sad.
Yup. He said he ain't seen his two brothers...
in more than 20 years.
Yeah? So, uh,
why did you think we was them?
Well, one of the brothers, the preacher?
He's a lot older. And the one that's deaf and dumb...
he's a lot younger, see.
So when I saw you two, I just reckoned maybe...
- Are you leaving the area for a while? - I'm goin' to New Orleans.
Well, methinks this calls for a small libation!
- Ha ha ha ha! - I'll drink to that!
Right this way, my gold-toothed friend!
We in trouble, Huck.
The King and the Duke found out...
that the dead guy's brothers lived over in England.
They hadn't had much time to get the letter...
and might not have gotten it at all.
So those two rat bags grilled that flathead...
about everything and everybody in his village,
right down to the damn dog next door.
- Woof! - Mighty smart of ya!
Mighty smart of ya.
Was Peter Wilks well off?
Oh, he was, uh,
he was as rich as King Soromon himself.
I tell you, Jim,
the hand of providence is bound to take a swing at them two.
And knowin' them, they'll duck.
How are you at playing a preacher?
- How are you at playin' deaf and dumb? - Pardon?
- Heh heh heh heh heh! - Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Attention, passengers!
jubilee leaving for Phelps Landing in 15 minutes!
Do I have to wear this?
Wanted to learn a trade, didn't ya?
- Why can't we just wait here? - Because I don't trust ya.
You'd hightail it for sure,
and we need to leave this raft here for our getaway.
Besides, we'll be more convincing...
after we arrive with an innocent young boy as our valet.
Who you callin' innocent?
Look, you wouldn't want us to accidentally turn in...
your runaway slave friend, now, would ya?
Come on. Play along with us for a couple of days.
We'll give ya 10 percent.
20.
- 15. - Deal.
- You never looked better! - I have too looked better!
- You're beautiful! - I feel ridiculous!
- Hey, King! - Yeah?
- Let's go buy those tickets. - All right.
- Be right back. - Shoo! Shoo, fly!
Shoo!
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Funny, Huck. Very funny.
What in hell's bells are you supposed to be?
The King said I was a Swahili warrior.
Even taught me some Swahili, or what he said was Swahili.
- Sounded like a pig in heat to me. - Hee hee.
I'd poked around a little...
and found out that a steamboat was leavin'...
from Phelps Landing the day after tomorrow...
and headin'all the way up to Cairo.
So all we had to do was put up with them rat bags for two more days,
then it was off to freedom.
Uh, begging your pardon on this,
can any of you good people tell me...
where Mr. Peter Wilks lives?
I'm looking for Mr. Peter Wilks.
Get out of the way, for heaven's sake.
Peter's brothers, right?
Uh, heh-heh-heh.
- I can tell by your fancy accent. - But we're sorry to say...
we can only tell you where Peter did live...
up until yesterday.
Oh. What you're tellin'me, I think,
is that my dear, sweet brother Peter...
has gone to the Lord.
He held on for you as long as he could, but yesterday he passed.
And we came all the way from England.
Alas. Alas.
And we never got to see him.
Excuse me.
I must communicate with me deaf brother.
- I told you before, she's my woman! - No, she's not!
Hey, don't I know you two?
Yeah, I do! You're that...
Stand aside!
Welcome to America!
My dear, sweet Mary Jane.
- Uncle Harvey. - Ho-ho-ho!
Mmm, mmm...
Enough. Heh-heh.
Ah, you're as bloomin'beautiful as Peter said you was.
- You sure are. - Ha ha ha!
This is my, uh, valet, Adolphus.
My English valet, right?
Right, right. Heh.
- Isn't he the sweetest looking boy? - Why, thank you, missus!
Heh-heh. Oh, and this is my Swahili warrior...
I picked up in Africa on a safari with the Duke of York.
He makes a great slave.
Yeah. Yes, of course.
Er, might we, uh,
pay our respects to our brother's remainders?
Oh, oh, yes, yes. Rather, William.
Uh, my brother says...
he'd like to invite friends of the family for supper,
people mentioned by our dear Peter so often in his letters.
- No, I won't forget... - You know, we might just prosper...
hanging around with them two.
More than likely, we'll get our necks stretched.
Well, that old King juiced it plenty,
spittin'out word-for-word everything that young flathead told him.
And how's that damn dog next door?
Smelly as the dickens.
Oh, thank ya ever so.
So I says to the pope,
" Pope, I'd like to stay and help ya,
but I've got a blinkin'job to do...
down in the bloomin' Indian Ocean savin' the blinkin' pirates."
Watch yourself, Huck.
She's just a girl, Jim.
Adolphus, have you ever seen the king?
- Him? Oh, yeah. William III. - George IV.
Oh, the King of England!
Oh, why didn't you bloody say so? Course I have.
He goes to our church, regular.
But I thought he lived in London.
- Well, he does. - But you live in Sheffield.
That is to say...
he goes to our church when he's in Sheffield.
Do you go to church?
Of course I do. We got our own pew right up front.
- Whose pew? - Why, ours. Your Uncle Harvey's, of course.
What would he need a pew for? Isn't he preaching up in the pulpit?
My thoughts exactly. Now, do you suppose...
there ain't but one bloody, blinkin' preacher to a bloomin' church?
- What would they want more for? - Style.
If it's a priest before a king,
you got to have lots of style goin' on.
In our church,
we've got 17 bloody, blinkin', bloomin'preachers.
- Where's Buckingham Palace? - In Buckingham.
- Who's the King married to? - His wife. - What's her name?
- Uh, the queen. - Queen what? - Queen of England.
Ha! You don't know anything, do ya? Well, I think...
-you're the biggest fibber... -Susan!
How dare you speak to him so,
him being a stranger in a strange land,
so far from his own people.
He was telling a few stretchers, and I wasn't swallowing them.
You apologize to him this instant.
I apologize, Adolphus. You're a dear, sweet boy.
I'm ashamed I called you a fibber.
- Women. - Here, now, have some pie and milk,
- because you are so sweet. - Why, thank you ever so.
And these are the girls we're lettin' those reptiles...
rob of their money.
- A right good day, Mary Jane! - Good day to you, Adolphus.
Ah, we've just been...
for a marvellous walk in the woods.
What a lovely country! Ha-ha-ha!
A right good day, sirs!
Would you happen to know where the...
the great Swahili warrior's sleepin'?
We decided the Swahili bit was pushing it and asked him to wait at the raft.
Well, what about...
- A good lad! - Here it is, Uncle.
Father said only you should open it.
Oh. Bless him.
" Last Will and Testament of Peter J. Wilks.
I, Peter J. Wilks, being of sound mind..."
Well, the dead geezer gave the girls his houses,
the slaves, and thousands of dollars in gold.
Then he gave more gold...
"to my dear, beloved brothers Harvey and William."
Praise be to the Lord.
Er, "The gold is hidden in the barn behind the vineyards."
Well, William, I guess we better go and get it.
- Well? - Well?
There, behind the grindstone.
Aah! Allow me.
Wow!
Begging your pardon! Hmph!
If this ain't bully, nothing is.
Like I told you this morning,
we're goin' all the way with this one.
All for us and none for them. Let's count it.
I don't think it's right, us stealin from them nice girls.
You're in it now, you little stinkweed.
- Right up to your sneaky little eyeballs. -And if it goes wrong...
You'll take your punishment right along with us.
Ya know what they'll do if they catch us?
Ya know what happens to ya when they tar and feather ya?
- Do ya? - No, sirs!
No, I... I don't know!
The tar oozes into your pores.
Clogs 'em up real tight.
- Suffocates your skin. - Ya get all green and sick.
Then ya choke and ya cough.
Until ya tear your own flesh so's ya can breathe.
But ya can't breathe!
And half the time, ya die from it.
And those that don't die...
feel so bad, they wish that they had.
And that's just what'll happen to you if ya open your mouth.
Hey.
Maybe young Adolphus here has the right idea.
We should give the money back to the girls.
That's a dazzling idea, King.
- That'll knock over their suspicions. - Shut 'em up for good.
- Until we steal it all back. - Yeah, we give them the money...
and that gives us the time to steal everything else.
Genius.
We're gonna be set for life!
I'd had enough, and steamboat or no steamboat,
I figured it were time to grab Jim...
and hightail it to Cairo.
Heh-heh. Friends, our dear departed...
has done generous to his little lambs,
and as their uncles,
I think we'd like to enhance...
the generous spirit of the day.
You see, I knew he'd feel the same as me.
Mary Jane, Julia, Susan,
take the money.
Take it all. A gift from your uncles.
- Wonderful! - Dear souls, how could you?
Englishman, my butt!
You're a couple of frauds.
I beg your pardon. And who might you be?
Dr. Robinson, ain't you heard? They're Peter's brothers.
Doctor... Dr. Robinson! Oh!
My brother's, oh, good friend and physician.
Take your hand away from me, you impostor!
They proved it 40 ways that they're the brothers.
- They even knew everything about the village! - And everybody's name!
- They even know about the damn dog next door. - Enough!
They came here with lots of names and facts...
they must've picked up somewhere, that's all.
Yup, it was time to leave, all right.
I could smell the winds a-changin', and they stunk.
Turn these rascals out, I beg you.
They're liars.
Based on what evidence?
Here's my answer, doctor.
Uncle Harvey, Uncle William,
take the gold back...
and invest it for me and my sisters any way you want.
That's my answer, doctor.
Whooo!
Marvellous.
I hated to run out on them sweet girls,
but I figured if I stuck around,
that dead geezer 'n'me would be sharin'lodgin's.
Hey, you seen a big slave around, maybe hangin' on my raft?
You bet I was. Two men catched him, and now he's in jail.
- What? - They had a handbill...
that said he was a murderer and a runaway...
- and worth $400. - So where is he now?
Took him down to the jail in Phelps Landing.
- Phelps Landing. - Yeah, we're gonna keep him there...
until we can take him up north for the hangin'.
I'm gonna fix their wagons but good.
I'd come all the way down the Mississippi...
and hadn't gotten anywhere,
and I realized right then that ya can't run away from your problems,
ya gotta make a stand and face 'em.
I didn't tell 'em nothin'. I didn't want to get you in any trouble.
Good, because my butt's hangin' way out,
and I'd rather not get it shot off.
I got to tell 'em you're not a murderer.
That don't matter.
Me bein' a runaway's even worse than me bein' a murderer.
The steamboat leaves the wharf at 10:00 tomorrow tonight.
Don't you worry, Jim. We'll both be on it.
There's something I got to tell ya before you risking yourself for me.
You know that night on the steamboat with all them murderers?
Yeah.
Your Pap was one of'em.
I saw him, and he was dead.
Dead?
Pap's dead?
- You saw him and you didn't tell me? - I'm sorry.
I'm dreadful sorry. I was so selfish.
That was a lie, Jim.
That was a lie!
And I thought we were friends.
I did wrong. Ain't no gettin' around it.
Now I'm gonna get what I deserve.
- Hey, boy! - Take care of yourself, Mr. Finn.
Now, where have you been, you little turd pie?
just playin' with the damn dog next door.
Just playing with the little doggies? I oughta...
Just stay right here today! Understand? Hmm?
Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen!
What's that old fool up to now?
Me dear brother and I have a little announcement we'd like to make.
It don't seem right...
for William and I to leave these little lambs...
without any kinfolk around.
So we have decided,
er, Mary Jane, Julia, Susan...
We have decided...
to take you back with us to England!
We'll be havin' an auction tomorrow mornin'...
after the funeral,
- so tell one and all! - We will be selling everything!
We're going to England!
I figured that before I took off,
I'd grab that gold away from them two frauds.
Then when I was long gone,
I'd write Mary Jane and tell her where I hid it.
Well, what is it? Make it quick.
I gotta tell ya, King, I'm just not comfortable.
That doctor's been layin' on my mind all day.
We should just glide out of here tonight with what we got.
And not sell the rest of the property?
I reckon these sacks of gold are plenty for me.
I figure we should just knock off and light out.
We can't leave thousands of dollars worth of property lying around.
What about the damn doctor?
Forget about the doctor! He's the only one that's suspicious.
Everyone else is on our side!
Now, look, Duke, old friend.
My brains and your bullocks,
we ain't never gonna get caught.
Yeah, all right.
Well, just let me take another peek at that gold...
before we head back down.
Slice of heaven, King. Feels like a slice of heaven.
Come on!
My Pap were a bad one,
but he were my Pap.
If you see him,
tell him Huck says hello.
Good night!
Where's the stiff?
- What? Who? - The coffin! Where's the coffin?
We buried him this morning.
And ever since, Uncle Harvey's been having the auction.
First thing he sold were the slaves.
He separated the families.
- Come on! - Where are we going?
- Got any friends out in the country? - Yes, the Lothrups. Why?
If I tell you somethin', promise not to come back here until 10:00 tonight.
- Now, why would I do that? -Just promise me, Mary Jane!
All right, I... I promise. Say...
what happened to your accent?
Those uncles of yours ain't no uncles at all.
They ain't even English.
Dr. Robinson was right. Them two are liars and frauds.
- What? - Don't you worry! I got the gold.
When this all blows over, I'll write and tell ya where it's buried.
Oh, no. I'm gonna get those two right now and get 'em tarred...
No, you're not, Mary Jane. You promised me.
Why until 10:00?
'Cause there's a good-hearted fellow I gotta save,
and at 10:00, we'll be gone. Come on.
Well, why do I have to leave town?
Why can't I just pretend I don't know?
Because there ain't an easier book to read than your face.
You'd give it away for sure.
Even $225... $225...
$225... $240... $275...
$300... now higher...
- $350. - $375... $375...
- Yeah. - $375 and a $400.
Even $400. Sold, $400! Let's sell the next lot.
Mary Jane was safe, the gold was safe,
them reptiles would soon be in jail,
and at 10.00 tonight, Jim and me would be on a steamboat...
headin'for Cairo.
All I had to do was find that deputy,
steal his keys, and break Jim oouut!
- Oh, I told you... - Let me go!
- not to disappear! Didn't I? - Let me go!
Oh, now, don't kill him...just yet.
Answer up, and quick.
- Were you in our room last night? - No, your maj... Unh!
Where is our money?
I ain't seen it since Mary Jane gave it to ya.
Honest, your majesties! If I stole it, would I still be here?
No, I guess not, unless you're a complete numskull.
Uh-oh.
Here's another set of Wilks brothers!
Just got here on the Mississippi Queen!
Ya pays your money and ya takes your pick!
Now is the hour of your demise, you impostors!
What's this all about, my good sir?
- Please let the man through! - That's right!
I'm with you, Harvey.
I am Harvey Wilks, and this is my brother William.
And you two gentlemen are quite a surprise to us.
And you to us, sir.
But I must say,
you should have worked on your English accent a wee bit more!
For this town has few fools,
and only a fool would be fooled by that foolish accent.
That's the worst English accent I ever heard.
- Ain't nothin' like yours, Harve. - I'm not very well fixed...
to show proof of these frauds at the moment,
for last night, all our bags were put off by mistake.
- Convenient mistake, huh? - Yeah, convenient.
What are you doing? What's he doing?
Making deaf and dumb signs, that's what he's doing.
- Don't your brother know how? - Those are just nonsense!
And of course William can do real ones,
only he broke his arm in a fall.
Ah-ha-ha! Broke his arm, very likely,
for a man who's got to make deaf signs to prove himself.
Oh, wait, wait, wait!
Now, I'm not sure these two are the real Wilks brothers,
but by God, I know them two sure ain't.
By the way, Adolphus,
- are you from England? - Why, yes, I am.
Speak the truth now,
or by God, there's gonna be one less idiot around here.
That is to say, sir,
I'm originally from Missouri,
but several years ago, I was sent to England...
to live with my great-grandfather,
- the Duke of Bilgewater. - Bilgewater?
But he died last year,
and his good friend,
Mr. Harvey Wilks here, took me in.
Personally, I think you're just a damn good liar.
Why, thank you for the compliment, sir.
All right, enough.
We're gonna figure out who's who right here and now,
and nobody's goin' nowhere until we do.
Well, they sailed into the investigation,
hour in and hour out,
the King tellin' one story and Harvey Wilks another.
But no one knew nothin' about England,
so they couldn't figure out who was lyin'.
Although most people were comin' to believe they both was.
I got it! I got it!
I can prove I'm Harvey Wilks and these men frauds!
Why didn't I think of it sooner?
Now, who here helped lay out my brother...
- the late Peter Wilks... in his coffin? Hmm? - They did!
Me and Abe here dressed him up and layed him out ourselves.
All right, then.
Perhaps you can tell me what was tattooed on Peter's breast.
Come on!
Come on, out with it!
We want to hear it!
- Out with it! - Yeah!
All right, all right.
I can tell you what was tattooed on his breast, all right.
You'd have to look real close to notice it.
Just tell us what the tattoo is about!
Come on, out with it! Tell him!
- Come on! - Get to it!
It was a small...
thin...
blue...
- arrow! - Arrow?
- Yes! There! You all heard what he said? - Yeah!
Did you see any such mark?
- Nope. - Nope.
You fraud!
That's right, because there isn't any blue arrow.
Peter had his initials tattooed on his breast,
the letters " P" and "W".
Well, come on, then!
Isn't that what you saw?
I didn't see any tattoo, did you?
I never noticed no tattoo at all!
They're all frauds!
- I say we tar 'em! - Yeah!
- I say we shoot 'em! - Yeah!
- I say we hang 'em! - Yeah!
Hang 'em! Hang all of'em!
Gentlemen! Gentlemen!
There is one way to see which pair is the real Wilks brothers,
or if neither of them is!
Let's dig up the corpse!
Yeah!
To the cemetery!
We've got the tar!
Well?
Dig it up!
- Hey, we found it, doc! - They hit it!
All right, heave!
Won't be long now, Deputy Hines!
- Push it! Push it! - Got it?
- Almost got it! Push!
- Eeewwhh! - Oh!
My good God! There's gold in there!
Aah!
It's the Wilks' gold!
We'd best be goin', Jim!
Huck? I thought you'd have your neck stretched by now!
I'm a little quicker than that.
- Why, Huck? - Why, what?
Why'd ya come and get me?
'Cause you're my friend, Jim.
Oh, come on.
Now, let's get to that steamboat!
- Come on! - It's the boy with that runaway slave!
- Hit the trail! - Get 'em!
Fire!
Aah! Unh!
You all right, Huck?
I just tripped. I'm all right. Keep goin'!
Unh! Unh!
Last call for Cairo and all points north!
All aboard!
Almost there, Huck!
We made it, Huck! Huck?
Oh! Oh, my little friend!
Oh. Oh.
- Go on, Jim. Go on. - I ain't goin' nowhere without you.
- What are ya doin',Jim? They'll catch ya.
They won't find ya in the dark.
I got to get ya to a doctor.
I'll be okay. Ya...
Ya can't take me, Jim. They'll catch ya.
They'll lynch ya.
- Don't go, Jim. - Last call for Cairo! Last call for Cairo!
- All aboard! - I don't care what happens to me, Huck.
I just want to get you well.
Jim...Jim...
We had us a great adventure, didn't we, Jim?
- We sure did, Huck. - And I'd do it all over again.
Yeah.
Get 'em!
Oh!
You can't... You can't kill him.
Don't you cry for me, Mr. Finn.
You're the best friend I ever had, Jim.
You're the only friend I ever had.
Ya can't.
Aah! No!
Jim!
No, ya can't take him.
He's all I got.
Ready?
- Tighten it up. - Aah! Aah!
Leave the boy alone! He's innocent!
- Now, Mary Jane! - And if he was trying to help that slave,
he had a good reason for it.
Now you let them both go!
Now!
Aw, let him go.
Lucky day, boy!
You're awake.
He's awake. He's awake!
Sweetie, we were so worried about you but you're going to be all right now.
My little Huckleberry!
Widow Douglas. Why, how'd you get here?
Lands, child. You've been out cold for a week.
When I heard what happened, I took the first steamer down.
Well, I'm sure ya think I'm low-down and miserable...
for tryin' to set Jim free,
- but do ya hate me? - Not at all, child.
I'm right proud of you. Just because an idea is popular, like slavery,
don't make it right.
That's what Jim told me.
Your little heart guided you quite well.
Hey, Jim!
You lie still, and I'll bring you some soup.
Well, look at you.
What is it, Jim?
Did somebody do something to you?
- 'Cause if they did, why... - Miss Watson died.
A few weeks ago.
And, well, she was so ashamed...
that she was going to sell me away from my wife and my children, that...
she set me free in her will, Huck.
I'm a free man, Huck.
I'm a free man.
Children, come here, please.
- Mr. Jenkins! - Good-bye, Adolphus Huckleberry.
Well, I healed up just fine.
Mary Jane and her sisters, along with the Wilks brothers,
gave me $500 for my troubles and my chivalrousness.
But since I got no real use for money, I gave it all to Jim...
for his family.
The Widow Douglas said she'd adopt me...
and take me home and try and civilize me...
but I don't know if I could stand it...
'cause I've been there before.
Now, where did Huckleberry go to?
