The Barclays win a contest for an all-expenses paid vacation to Hawaii, but the Rathbones are coming along!

Guest (Male): Last time on Adventures in Odyssey.

Jimmy Barclay: What's going on?

Guest (Male): I don't know. You!

Jimmy Barclay: What? Not you!

Bart Rathbone: You! Me? Right! Do you know what you've done? You, Jimmy Barclay, and four guests will fly first class on an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii!

Lawrence Hodges: I know, Lawrence!

Jimmy Barclay: Yes! Can you think of anybody? What? We're just kidding, Lawrence. Of course we're going to take you along. We're going to Hawaii!

Lawrence Hodges: Your dad?

Jimmy Barclay: Yeah, he's in the Navy now. He's been to Hawaii lots of times. I don't know where he is right now, but I was thinking how great it would be if he was waiting for me when we got there.

Guest (Female): Boyfriend?

Donna Barclay: Oh, you two aren't together? We're traveling together, but he's definitely not my boyfriend. If you only knew this guy, you'd know how completely ridiculous the idea is.

Rodney Rathbone: Okay, okay, she got the picture, Donna. You don't have to go overboard.

Donna Barclay: I just want to make sure she understands.

Rodney Rathbone: I understand. I could get you to fall for me if I wanted to.

Mr. Iaoe: You desire her heart?

Rodney Rathbone: Nah, I'm just trying to get her to fall for me.

Mr. Iaoe: Words will not impress her. You can only win her with deeds.

Jimmy Barclay: What? He's right! Look! Out there!

Lawrence Hodges: But Rodney doesn't know how to surf. He barely knows how to swim.

Jimmy Barclay: It's too late now. He's up on a wave.

Lawrence Hodges: Hey, he looks pretty good! Yeah, he's doing it! He's heading right for the pier!

Donna Barclay: Rodney, look out!

Jimmy Barclay: Rodney! Wait, he's turning back! Oh, my baby! I'll kill him! He's still up! Quickly, we must help! Hang on, Rodney, we're coming! Hang on!

Rodney Rathbone: Nothing! Hang ten! That's my boy! Hey! Look at me! Look at me!

Mr. Iaoe: Out with Mr. Bad Air, in with Mr. Good Air. Out with Mr. Bad Air, in with Mr. Good Air. He's just a little waterlogged.

Doris Rathbone: Are you all right, baby?

Rodney Rathbone: Yeah, Mom, I'm okay.

Doris Rathbone: Well, you ain't going to be when I get through with you. What are you trying to do here, scare me half to death?

Rodney Rathbone: I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Bart Rathbone: All right, already. The way you're acting, you'd think the boy never did anything dumb before.

Jimmy Barclay: I didn't know you were a lifeguard, Mr. Iaoe.

Mr. Iaoe: Iway, trained on the beaches of my home state. Now I must prepare things for tonight's luau.

Bart Rathbone: Mr. Iaoe, wait up. I'll walk back with you. I want to talk to you about the schedule of activities.

Rodney Rathbone: Oh, yeah, and about getting more towels.

Jimmy Barclay: I'll say one thing for you, Rodney, you sure know how to start off a vacation.

Rodney Rathbone: Hey, Donna.

Donna Barclay: Oh, hi, Rodney. How do you feel?

Rodney Rathbone: Okay. I only lost a layer of skin on the sand. So?

Donna Barclay: So what?

Rodney Rathbone: What did you think?

Donna Barclay: Think about what happened? All the excitement?

Rodney Rathbone: Oh, well, I thought Mr. Iaoe was great.

Donna Barclay: He was great. What about me? I'm the one who braved the waves.

Rodney Rathbone: Braved the waves? You rode the board on your hands and knees.

Donna Barclay: You expected me to stand all the way up?

Rodney Rathbone: Oh, Rodney.

Donna Barclay: So you weren't impressed?

Rodney Rathbone: Sure I was impressed, with Mr. Iaoe. I'm going to go swimming. See you.

Donna Barclay: Rats. Now I'm going to have to think of something else.

Mr. Iaoe: Welcome, honored guests, to the Bonsai Corporation Luau. Please remove your shoes and sit. And as we like to say on the islands, Iniki Pua Oy.

Jimmy Barclay: What does that mean?

Mr. Iaoe: Hit it, boys. And a one, and a two, and...

George Barclay: This is great!

Jimmy Barclay: Yeah, any meal where I can put my feet on the table while we're eating is okay by me.

Bart Rathbone: Well, don't just stand there, Rodney. Sit down.

Rodney Rathbone: Yeah, I will in a minute. I got to do something first.

Doris Rathbone: Look at the size of that pig they're roasting. I know it's almost too big for the spit.

Rodney Rathbone: They spit on that pig?

Doris Rathbone: No, Doris. The spit is what they turn the pig on to cook it over the hot coals. See?

Rodney Rathbone: Oh, yeah. So long as they don't spit on it. By the way, Barclay, I worked it out with Iaoe.

George Barclay: Worked all what out, Bart?

Bart Rathbone: The whole thing about our schedule of activities.

George Barclay: You did?

Bart Rathbone: Yeah. I told him that we weren't interested in seeing any of that tourist stuff on this list and that instead, we want to go off on our own. I already rented the car and everything.

George Barclay: What? Bart, you shouldn't have done that.

Bart Rathbone: Don't worry about it. You can pay me your half later.

George Barclay: No, that's not what I meant. I don't want to spend the day in a stuffy car. I want to go out on the beach.

Jimmy Barclay: And I want to see Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial!

Mr. Iaoe: Okay, everybody, a luau is supposed to be a happy feast. You people are bringing me down. What Mr. Rathbone didn't tell you was that he only rented a two-door car.

George Barclay: What does that mean?

Bart Rathbone: That only we adults are going. The kids are going to stay here with Mr. Iaoe. He'll take them where they want to go.

George Barclay: What do you think, Mary?

Mary Barclay: Well, we did want to see the island.

Bart Rathbone: Great! It's all settled in. Now let's get down to some serious luauing.

Rodney Rathbone: Hold it, everybody! Hold it!

Doris Rathbone: Rodney, what's going on?

Rodney Rathbone: There could be no greater demonstration of bravery and mind over matter than to walk barefoot over a bed of hot coals. Tonight, I'm going to do just that.

Guests: What?

Mr. Iaoe: Rodney, it takes years of discipline.

Rodney Rathbone: Remove the pig from the barbecue pit!

Bart Rathbone: Bart, stop it! Wait, wait, hold on, wait a minute, hold it. Rodney, have you gone completely out of your mind?

Rodney Rathbone: But Pop, I want to do it! It'll show how brave I am!

Bart Rathbone: It'll show how nuts you are! Bravery is no reason to walk barefoot across a bed of hot coals. In fact, there is no reason to walk barefoot across a bed of hot coals.

George Barclay: Hey, Bart, when you ran over, your wallet fell into the pit.

Bart Rathbone: My wallet! Oh, no!

George Barclay: You did it! Well, there's almost no reason. Anybody got a bucket of ice?

Donna Barclay: Morning, Mr. Iaoe.

Mr. Iaoe: Good morning, Donna, although it is nearly afternoon.

Donna Barclay: Yeah, well, sleeping in is what vacations are all about. Where's Lawrence and Jimmy?

Mr. Iaoe: On the beach. I'll be taking them to Pearl Harbor shortly.

Donna Barclay: Have fun.

Mr. Iaoe: Hey, I have a message for you from Rodney. He wants you to meet him at the speedboat dock at 1:30.

Donna Barclay: What's he got planned now?

Mr. Iaoe: I don't know, but I'm sure it's something to impress you.

Donna Barclay: Yeah, he said that on the beach yesterday after the surfing thing. But why would he want to impress me?

Mr. Iaoe: To win your heart, of course.

Donna Barclay: Win my heart?

Mr. Iaoe: I believe he put it "to make her fall for me."

Donna Barclay: Fall for... Oh, no. That's what this is all about.

Mr. Iaoe: What?

Donna Barclay: Something that happened on the plane coming in. Rodney said he could make me fall for him if he wanted to, and I said he was crazy. I can't believe he'd go this far.

Mr. Iaoe: A man will go to great and sometimes foolish lengths to heal a wounded pride. And of course, in ancient Hawaii, a man won a woman's heart by performing great athletic or daring feats in front of her.

Donna Barclay: Is that true?

Mr. Iaoe: Rodney seems to think so.

Donna Barclay: But where would he get such a crazy idea?

Mr. Iaoe: Well, from me. I didn't realize he would go this far either.

Donna Barclay: Yeah, well, I guess I better go talk to him. 1:30 at the speedboat dock?

Mr. Iaoe: Yes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take two young men to a memorial.

Donna Barclay: Have fun. Oh, did my folks get off okay?

Mr. Iaoe: Oh, yes. By now they should be far up the coast, cruising like the wind.

George Barclay: Try it again, Bart.

Bart Rathbone: Come on, come on! That's no good, Bart. That's what happens when you rent from a place called Jack's Pretty Good Wheels.

George Barclay: Well, he's no good. Well, I guess we got to get another car. Where are we, anyways?

George Barclay: A place called Makaha. We're about 45 miles from Honolulu.

Bart Rathbone: You want to look for the rental place or find the wives?

George Barclay: I'll find the wives. I think it'll be easier.

Bart Rathbone: Yeah, yeah. Just look for the stores.

Doris Rathbone: I just love these open-air markets, don't you?

Mary Barclay: Well, I liked the first four we went to.

Doris Rathbone: Oh, look, Mary, aren't these little coin purses wonderful?

Mary Barclay: They're very pretty, yes.

Doris Rathbone: I've got to have one. Excuse me! Excuse me!

Guest (Female): Yes, ma'am?

Doris Rathbone: How much this purse? Comprende?

Mary Barclay: Doris, why are you talking like that?

Doris Rathbone: Look at her, she's Hawaiian. She don't understand English. Do you?

Guest (Female): Yes, ma'am. I both understand and speak it.

Doris Rathbone: Well, what do you know? You sound just like an American.

Mary Barclay: She is an American, Doris. Hawaii is part of the United States. Most people here speak English.

Doris Rathbone: Oh. So how much for the purse?

Guest (Female): Two-fifty.

Doris Rathbone: I'll give you a buck for it.

Mary Barclay: Doris, she just said it was two-fifty.

Doris Rathbone: I know, but Bart told me these people don't have any respect for you unless you haggle with them.

Mary Barclay: Doris, that's nonsense.

Doris Rathbone: You won't think so when I get a better price. Now, I said I'd give you a buck, so what's your next offer?

Guest (Female): Ma'am, I don't set the prices, I just sell the merchandise.

Doris Rathbone: Come on, come on, give me your next offer.

Mary Barclay: Doris...

Doris Rathbone: I know you want to haggle with me, so what's your next offer?

Guest (Female): All right. All right. I really shouldn't do this.

Doris Rathbone: I knew it! What, what, what?

Guest (Female): Well, normally these go for two-fifty apiece.

Doris Rathbone: Yeah.

Guest (Female): But because I like you, I'll give you two for five bucks.

Doris Rathbone: I'll take it!

Guest (Female): I sure hope this doesn't get around.

Doris Rathbone: See, Mary? I told you I'd get a better price.

Mary Barclay: Shrewd, Doris. Real shrewd.

George Barclay: Mary! Doris!

Mary Barclay: George, how's the car?

George Barclay: No good. Bart's trying to find another rental agency, but this is a pretty small place.

Bart Rathbone: Hey, everybody!

Doris Rathbone: Bart, did you find a rental agency?

Bart Rathbone: Yeah, but they don't have any cars left.

Mary Barclay: Well, you're awful happy about it. How are we supposed to drive back with no car?

Bart Rathbone: We ain't going to drive back. We're going to sail back.

Guests: Sail?

Bart Rathbone: Well, not sail, exactly. We'll go on a motorboat.

George Barclay: Oh, I don't know about this, Bart.

Bart Rathbone: Why not? It's part of the adventure. And besides, we don't have any other way of getting back.

George Barclay: That's true.

Bart Rathbone: I already got the place picked out. Come on!

Captain Squid: Sure, I'll take you, and I won't charge you an arm and a leg like those big thieving charter boats neither. No offense, Captain Squid, like the British money. No offense, sir, but your boat doesn't look all that safe.

George Barclay: You're right.

Captain Squid: Safe? What are you talking about? The Minnow, she's as sturdy as they come. She'll have the bar you back in Honolulu in 45 minutes. It's not like five passengers set out this day on a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour.

Bart Rathbone: Well, that's good enough for me. Let's go!

Captain Squid: Aye, matey! Come on! Get on board! Hurry up, hurry up! Get those life jackets on! We're burning daylight! Never saw a boat motor that didn't understand a swift kick or a slug from a 45! Hold on tight, because here we go! Blow them down, mateys, blow them down! My name be Ishmael!

George Barclay: Mary, what should we do?

Mary Barclay: I don't know. Maybe we should sing.

George Barclay: Everybody! Blow them down, matey, blow them down! What's the matter with you? You don't have the pitch! Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm, let's go! Blow them down, matey, blow them down! Blow them down, matey, blow them down!

Mr. Iaoe: Here it is, boys, the famous Pearl Harbor.

Jimmy Barclay: Cool! Look at all the battleships!

Mr. Iaoe: Pearl has been a United States naval base since 1900. It is still a center of the US Pacific Command. You see those mountains?

Jimmy Barclay: Yeah.

Mr. Iaoe: Japanese torpedo bombers flew over that range when they attacked on December 7th, 1941.

Lawrence Hodges: That's what got the US in World War II, right?

Mr. Iaoe: Right. That white structure in the bay is where we're going, the USS Arizona Memorial.

Jimmy Barclay: I can't wait to tell my dad I was actually here.

Lawrence Hodges: I can't believe Donna and Rodney didn't want to come. What could be better than this?

Mr. Iaoe: Well, a slice of grapefruit on a papaya with some passion fruit on the side, but you know, that's not my favorite. Actually, my favorite is really peanut butter soup.

Guest (Male): Okay, dude, you're harnessed in and ready to fly.

Rodney Rathbone: Yeah, thanks. I'll be waiting in the boat. Whenever you're ready, just yell "go," okay? Yeah, okay.

Donna Barclay: Rodney!

Rodney Rathbone: Oh, hi, Donna.

Donna Barclay: What are you doing?

Rodney Rathbone: Parasailing. See, I'm hooked up to that speedboat over there with this line. This is a parachute. When I give the word, the boat's going to take off and I'm going to go sailing high over the bay.

Donna Barclay: All right, Rodney, enough.

Rodney Rathbone: What do you mean?

Donna Barclay: You know what I mean. You don't have to do this anymore.

Rodney Rathbone: Do what?

Donna Barclay: This. Parasailing, walking on coals, surfing. I know you're doing them to get me to fall for you, but you've got to stop before you get hurt.

Rodney Rathbone: I don't know what you're talking about.

Donna Barclay: Look, I know I said some things on the plane yesterday that hurt you.

Rodney Rathbone: You hurt me? Don't flatter yourself.

Donna Barclay: Rodney, cut it out and get out of this harness thing before you get yourself killed.

Rodney Rathbone: Hey, stop it! Hey, look what you did, you undid some buckles!

Donna Barclay: And I want you to undo the rest of them!

Rodney Rathbone: No! Go!

Guest (Male): What? All right, let's go!

Donna Barclay: Wait, he said no! He's going! Rodney! Oh, great! Mister! Mister, are you with the parasailing company?

Bill Mason: Yeah, I'm Bill Mason, one of the owners, why?

Donna Barclay: Well, the guy who just took off wasn't all buckled in!

Bill Mason: What? How did that happen?

Donna Barclay: It's not important right now. Radio the driver and tell him to stop!

Bill Mason: That boat doesn't have a radio. We'll have to follow them in the other boat. Come on!

Guests: B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o!

Bart Rathbone: I love this!

George Barclay: George, how much more of this I can take?

Mary Barclay: I know. I think there would be a few waves out here that he'd miss.

Doris Rathbone: He's singing! It's making me sicker.

Mary Barclay: At least nobody's eating anything.

Doris Rathbone: Pork rinds? I do, I do! You two look positively green. Getting a little seasick, are you?

George Barclay: Oh, please, Bart.

Bart Rathbone: Well, I guess some people just can't take the sea. Me? I love it! Salt spray in your face, the wind in your hair, the feel of the boat as it goes up and down, up and down, to and fro, to and fro, up and down... I think I'll sit down for a minute.

Captain Squid: Looks like I got myself a boatload of old salt's hair. Yes, siree, real seafaring folk!

George Barclay: Captain Squid, can't you move to smoother waters?

Captain Squid: Didn't you hear last, Mr. Christian? To smoother waters they want. Well, let me tell you, son, the Minnow has a mind of her own. She goes where she will. She may not be much to look at, but she cuts sharp like through the briny. Always on the move, or else she dies.

Bart Rathbone: Uh, I think we have a dead shark here.

Captain Squid: Now don't be afeared, folks, don't be afeared. This happens all the time. I just need to make a few minor adjustments on the engine. Let's see here. I do this, I do that, this... there!

Bart Rathbone: Oh, you fixed it?

Captain Squid: No, I pulled out the wrong wire.

George Barclay: I thought you said this happens all the time.

Captain Squid: It does.

George Barclay: And you still pulled out the wrong wire?

Captain Squid: That happens all the time too. Sorry, mates, but we ain't going nowhere. The Minnow is dead in the water.

Bart Rathbone: How about some more pork rinds?

Doris Rathbone: I got some bacon dip!

Bart Rathbone: Love that stuff!

Guests: B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name-o!

Bart Rathbone: I love adventure!

Donna Barclay: Can't we go any faster?

Bill Mason: We're pushing it now. Unfortunately, that's the fast boat. Turn on the radio!

Donna Barclay: Why? You said the other boat doesn't have one.

Bill Mason: It doesn't, but your friend has one in his helmet.

Donna Barclay: You mean we can talk to him?

Bill Mason: Yeah, turn it on. Talk to him!

Donna Barclay: How?

Bill Mason: Push down the button to talk, lift it up to listen.

Donna Barclay: Rodney? Rodney, can you hear me?

Rodney Rathbone: Donna? Oh, great, now I'm hearing voices.

Donna Barclay: You're not hearing voices, you've got a radio in your helmet!

Rodney Rathbone: Oh, that's just peachy. Where are you?

Donna Barclay: I'm in a boat behind you. We're trying to catch your boat to stop it, so hang on!

Rodney Rathbone: I'm hanging, I'm hanging!

Bill Mason: Why is he moving around that way?

Donna Barclay: Rodney, why are you moving around that way?

Rodney Rathbone: I'm trying to rebuckle some of these loose buckles!

Bill Mason: Tell him to stop! The buckles are tricky, and he could accidentally undo his towline.

Donna Barclay: Rodney, stop! The buckles are tricky, and you could accidentally undo your towline.

Rodney Rathbone: Wait a minute, I almost got it. I almost... Uh-oh.

Bill Mason: His towline's gone slack! Rodney!

Jimmy Barclay: This is incredible!

Lawrence Hodges: Yeah, a floating memorial.

Mr. Iaoe: It floats directly over where the battleship USS Arizona sank when it was hit by Japanese torpedoes.

Jimmy Barclay: How come the water's so dark?

Mr. Iaoe: That's oil from the Arizona.

Jimmy Barclay: It still leaks? But it's been over 50 years.

Mr. Iaoe: Well, it was a big ship.

Jimmy Barclay: My dad told me all about it. A thousand men were trapped alive inside the bulkheads. They never could get them out. They heard them bang for help more than a month after the attack.

Lawrence Hodges: Wow, what a horrible way to die.

Mr. Iaoe: Indeed.

Jimmy Barclay: I've never seen so many battleships. Can I borrow your binoculars, Mr. Iaoe?

Mr. Iaoe: Of course, Rodney.

Jimmy Barclay: Thanks. You say your father told you about the USS Arizona?

Jimmy Barclay: Yeah, he's in the Navy, and he comes here a lot.

Mr. Iaoe: What ship is he on?

Jimmy Barclay: He's not on a ship. He's an assistant to some bigwig or something. He works in special communications. He moves around a lot. We never know where he is. No. No, it can't be!

Mr. Iaoe: What is it?

Lawrence Hodges: What's the matter, Jimmy? You've gone pale.

Jimmy Barclay: That battleship across the harbor!

Lawrence Hodges: What about it?

Jimmy Barclay: Standing on the deck! It's... it's my dad!

Focus on the Family (Chris): Is it really Jimmy's dad? What will Jimmy do? And what's going to happen to the Barclays and the Rathbones out on the boat, and with Rodney up in the air? Oh my, so much is happening, and the only way to know how it all turns out is to tune in next time.

And if you ever want to write to us, we'd love to hear from you. Just send your card or letter to Odyssey, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80995. Or in Canada, write to Box 9800, Vancouver, BC, V6B 4G3. And when you do, don't forget to ask how you can get a copy of today's episode. It's called "Aloha, Oy!" That address again is Odyssey, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80995.

Adventures in Odyssey is a presentation of Focus on the Family. "Aloha, Oy!" was written and directed by Phil Lollar. Our production engineer was Bob Luttrell, and our executive producer is Chuck Bolte. And I'm Chris, hoping you'll join us again next time for more Adventures in Odyssey.

Hi, this is Chris.

Focus on the Family (Harlow): And this is Harlow.

Focus on the Family (Chris): We always love hearing what you think of our show.

Focus on the Family (Harlow): Yep. In fact, sometimes we might just walk up to you and ask, "So, what do you think of the show?"

Guest (Female): Well, we have really enjoyed Odyssey for many years. Oftentimes we will spend family night sitting around just listening to Odysseys and working a puzzle or whatever.

Guest (Male): It's part of our ritual Saturday mornings. We make pancakes and we listen to Odyssey and we laugh about the stories.

Guest (Female): I started to listen to Odyssey when I was four.

Guest (Male): I've been listening to Odyssey for seven years. I started listening when I was eight and have continued listening till I am now 15.

Guest (Female): My 19-year-old loves Odyssey. I grew up on Odyssey and my family took a lot of trips and we would listen to the tapes all the way and that was probably one of the highlights of the trips.

Guest (Female): We have five boys. Ever since the oldest who is now 19 in college has been little, we've traveled with Odyssey and it's always been, instead of how many more miles, Mom, it's how many more Odyssey tapes, Mom or Dad, till we get there.

Guest (Male): We love to have two or three Odysseys in the car all the time.

Guest (Female): As a parent, it makes me feel that I can use any moment in the car as a time to teach my children. Sometimes I've actually referred back to an Odyssey episode and said, "Well, what did Whit say about that? Or how was the situation handled? And do you think it was a good way to handle it?" So it has kind of promoted some discussion along those lines.

Guest (Female): Underground Railroad, many interesting discussions out of that one and just what was the whole Civil War about? Was it really slavery? Was it states' rights? How did this affect the individual families? How would we react if we were in their shoes at that time? So many of those types of discussions have been generated.

Guest (Female): I listen to Odyssey every night when I go to sleep.

Guest (Female): We listen to Adventures in Odyssey because my daughter has trouble going to sleep at night and she enjoys listening to the stories and it helps settle her down and gives her something to concentrate on.

Guest (Female): There was this one tape and I used to be afraid and I'd wake up in the middle of the night and go into my mom and dad's room, and then it taught me about not being afraid and that's why I like it.

Guest (Female): Well, my family's used Odyssey tapes and CDs so much the kids can quote them back to me.

Guest (Female): I really like Odyssey and I've memorized lots of the shows. And they're learning even though they might not realize they're learning great moral lessons and things that they can apply in their everyday life.

Guest (Male): Best radio drama ever made.

Guest (Female): We love Odyssey!

Focus on the Family (Chris): We appreciate your comments. Keep those cards and letters coming in.
