The Brady Bunch.
Bobby!
Cindy!
It's all your fault.
You wanted to chase
after that Indian boy.
How was I supposed
to know we'd get lost?
Come on.
Bobby!
Cindy!
Like, they just disappeared.
Bobby!
Cindy!
MIKE: It had started out to
be a great vacation for all of us.
Kids were really excited
at their first sight of Grand Canyon.
They loved the Hopi Indians
and the rain dance.
They couldn't wait to ride down
to the bottom of the canyon.
Now I had warned all the kids
to stay together,
but it was Bobby and Cindy
who wandered off.
It's starting to get dark now.
We better find them and fast.
Come on, kids.
I think we're going in circles.
What's the matter?
Let me handle this, Cindy.
How.
How what?
Uh, how are you?
I'm okay.
I'm Bobby Brady,
and this is my sister Cindy.
I'm Jimmy Pocaiya.
Do you live around here?
Well, not too far.
Are you a real Indian?
Uh-huh.
Have you seen a camp around here?
One with tents and stuff?
Yes, I saw your camp.
Oh, could you find it for us?
Sure.
Hey, great.
We're kind of lost.
Could you help us get back to our folks?
No.
Why not?
I've got my reasons.
What's the matter?
Don't you like us palefaces?
Cut out the paleface stuff.
Sorry.
Why won't you help us?
'Cause I don't want anybody to see me.
You in some kind of trouble?
I ran away from home.
If your folks see me
they'll tell my grandfather where I am.
Listen, Jimmy,
maybe we can make a deal.
You take us back
and we promise not to tell we saw you.
Please?
Well you promise?
Do I look like the kind of guy
that speaks with a forked tongue?
Mom, Jan, come here quick.
What is it?
Look. Footprints.
The footprints end here
and there are two paths.
Which way do you think they went?
Look, you two take that way
and I'll take this way
and we'll meet right back here.
And remember, please stay together.
We will, Mom.
Around those rocks up there
you'll be able to see your camp.
Thanks a lot, Jimmy.
You really saved our lives.
Ah, it's nothing.
It is, too.
Isn't there some way
we can pay you back?
Well, I'm kind of hungry.
You think you could get me
something to eat?
Sure, but we'll have to wait till tonight
when everybody's asleep.
That's okay.
I'll be by those big rocks
we just passed.
Okay. Thanks a lot. See you later.
CAROL: Bobby! Cindy!
That sounds like Mom.
It is Mom.
BOTH: Mother! Mother!
Oh, thank goodness.
Oh, you're all right.
We're sorry.
We didn't mean to get lost.
It was just an accident.
Well, don't you ever wander away
from us again, you hear?
What are you crying for?
Because I'm so happy you're back.
I thought you'd cry when we got lost.
I cried then, too.
I guess we make her cry
no matter what we do.
All right, all right, but from now on
nobody goes off alone, right?
Let's hear it. Huh? Huh? (All agree )
And you two guys,
you don't go away from camp
without being with an adult
or with Greg or Marcia.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay, kids, come on.
Let's get cleaned up for dinner.
How we going to get the food for Jimmy?
I've been thinking about
it, and I got a plan.
ALL: Down in the valley
Valley so low
Hang your head over
Hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, love
Hear the wind blow
Late in the evening
Hear the wind blow
Roses love sunshine
Violets love dew
Stars up in heaven
Know I love you
Oooh!
Hey, how about a little, umm
Hey, good. Let's see,
"Home on the Range"?
Yeah, that's a good one!
Can you play that one?
Oh, sure.
ALL: Oh, give me a home
where the buffalo roam ♪
Where the deer
and the antelope play ♪
Could we have some more
hot dogs, Alice?
That makes four apiece.
You two must have hollow legs.
Well, getting lost takes a lot out of you.
We're trying to put it back.
I don't really believe
that you're eating all these hot dogs.
I think you're inhaling them.
Well, I better start getting those dishes.
Let's get some beans for Jimmy, too.
Where we going to hide them?
Hey, I got it.
A discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day ♪
CAROL: Let's sing it again.
Home, home
Hey, that's a great idea.
Where the deer and the antelope ♪
( Whistling )
( Whistling )
I'm coming.
( Alice snorts )
You sure you can find your way?
I think so.
It's so dark, I can't see where I'm going.
Don't pull so hard.
You're squashing the hot dogs.
( Howling )
What was that?
Just a coyote.
Maybe we should go back.
We can't.
Just think how hungry Jimmy is.
Just think how hungry the coyote is.
I didn't think you'd come back.
We promised, didn't we?
Brought you some hot dogs.
Some of them may be a little bit squishy.
I like them squishy.
Here's something else to eat.
A flashlight?
No. Inside. Beans.
Hey, that's a great idea.
( Whispering ): Bobby? Cindy?
What are you doing here?
That's the same question I got for you.
Who's he?
This is our friend, Jimmy Pocaiya.
We brought him some hot dogs.
I don't know what this thing is all about,
but I do know one thing:
You two better get back to camp
before Dad wakes up and blows his top.
Come on.
Sure you don't want to come with us?
Maybe Mom and Dad can help you.
No. They'd just tell my grandfather.
Soon as it's light, I'm moving on.
Bobby, come on.
Well, thanks a lot, Jimmy.
See you sometime.
Yeah, sometime.
I don't care, Bobby.
We should tell Mom and Dad
about Jimmy.
But we promised we wouldn't.
We told you he saved our lives.
Listen, did you think
you might be saving his life
by telling on him?
( leaves rustling )
Shh. Listen.
Who is it?
Greg?
Dad?
Why didn't you say you were you?
Because I didn't know you were you.
Would you like
to tell me what you're doing
out here in the dark?
Tell him, Bobby.
Who, me?
Yeah, you.
Uh, Dad, it-it's like this:
We got lost.
You remember?
Now, you want to stop the stalling
and tell me what this is all about?
Now you're going to tell my grandfather
and he'll take me home.
Well, is home so bad, Jim?
No. I like it there.
Then why run away?
Because of my grandfather.
Oh.
Is he mean to you?
No. I love him.
Wait a minute, I don't get it.
Then what's the matter?
Well, he only thinks
about the old Indian ways.
He always talks about great things
that happened a long time ago.
Well, I can understand that.
He's proud of those things, huh?
Mr. Brady, I'm tired of being an Indian.
I want to be an astronaut.
( Chuckling ) Well
Look, Jim, you can be both
of those things.
Look, you can be proud of your heritage
just like your grandfather.
You can still do whatever you want to do
or be what you want to be.
What did your grandfather say
when you told him
you wanted to be an astronaut?
I didn't tell him.
Why didn't you give him a chance?
Wait and see what he thinks about it
before you try to run away.
I don't know.
Listen, why don't we talk about
this again in the morning, huh?
You come back to camp with us
and you can sleep in a nice warm bed,
have a good breakfast.
Come on. You haven't eaten
until you've had Alice's pancakes, huh?
Well
( chuckling ): Come on.
I bet you're good and hungry.
No. I had hot dogs
oh, and beans!
Hot dogs and beans?
( Metal clanging )
Oh what is it, honey?
It's nothing.
Is it time to get up?
No. Listen, as long as you're awake,
come here, I want you to see something.
( Yawning ) Okay.
Okay.
( Metal clanging )
( Crickets chirping )
( Softly ): What?
Who in the world is that?
That might just be the first Indian
who ever lands on Mars.
( Sighing )
( Whispering ):
Dad! Dad, are you awake?
( Whispering ): Yeah. Just a second.
What is it, boys?
Jimmy he's gone.
Mmm? You sure? Maybe he just
wandered off for a minute.
No! We've looked all over for him.
What are we going to do?
Well, I don't think
there's much we can do.
I'll put my boots on
and we'll go look for him.
We've given him the best advice we can.
That's the thing about advice:
You can give it,
but you can't make them take it.
Yeah, we understand, Dad.
Come on, you guys.
I think we could use some
fresh water, Mrs. Brady.
Okay, Alice. The stream's
right over there,
beyond those boulders.
You can't miss it.
Okay, well, just in case, if
I'm not back in ten minutes,
send out a forest ranger.
Okay.
On second thought
even if I don't get lost,
send out a forest ranger.
Six-two, broad shoulders
and a little gray at the temples.
Alice
Yatahi!
Yatahay!
( Speaking in native tongue )
( Continues )
I'm afraid you took the advanced course.
My heart soars, Mrs. Brady.
Oh! I'm not Mrs. Brady I'm Alice.
Mr. Brady has two squaws?
Oh, no! I'm not Mr. Brady's squaw.
I help Mrs. Brady.
I'm sort of a squaw, junior grade.
Hi!
Hi! You must be Jimmy.
That's right.
Oh, I know a lot of people
who are going to be awfully glad
to give you a great big yatahi.
Mr. Brady, because you
brought my grandson
back to me
I offer you thanks, many thanks.
I really didn't do very much,
Chief Eagle Cloud.
I just talked to Jimmy.
He made the decision.
You helped him to decide.
I offer you thanks.
You're very welcome.
Jim, did you speak to your grandfather?
Yeah, I did.
The foolishness of this child.
He thinks because I speak of buffalo,
I do not understand "blastoff."
We have the same problem,
Chief Eagle Cloud.
We call it the "generation gap."
That's what we call it, too.
He's afraid to tell me
that he wants to swoosh to the stars.
In truth, if I were younger,
I would want to swoosh, too.
CAROL: These are our children.
Children, this is Jimmy's grandfather.
Chief Eagle Cloud.
Hi. Hi. Hi.
Mr. Brady, you have large tribe.
You are a man among men.
Well, he did have a little help, you know.
I speak in honor of your father.
I ask you to journey to our village tonight.
In a ceremony, I will ask
you to become members of
my family and tribe.
You younger folks will
have a groovy time.
( Kids yelling excitedly )
Chief, I think
we'll all have a groovy time.
( Kids yelling )
( Drum beating )
( Bells jingling )
( Chanting )
Many moons ago
our people came down
from the rim of the canyon.
Here inside the earth, who is our mother,
we live in peace.
We raise tall corn, race fast horses.
We prosper.
And now, O sun that shines,
O moon that smiles,
we wish our tribe to increase.
I ask that you know this.
All these people seated around this fire
shall belong to my tribe
from now until forever.
And now, to the directions
of the four winds:
( pouring water ):
To the east to the west
to the north to the south
these are my people.
I say this, and it is so.
What happens next?
You get a name.
I already have a name.
You get an Indian name.
I give you a new name.
In my tribe, you shall be called.
Goana Hotanya Goana Gonosa:
Big Eagle of Large Nest.
I shall call you.
Yellow Flower With Many Petals.
Oh, that's lovely.
And you, I will call you Stalking Wolf.
( Chuckling ): That's what
all the girls call me, too.
And you, my son,
I will call you Middle Buffalo.
Middle Buffalo?
Sleeping lizard?
Sleeping Lizard?
I get back to you.
I shall call you Wandering Blossom.
I call you Little Bear Who Loses Way.
I call you Dove of Morning Light.
I call you Willow Dancing In Wind.
I call you Squaw in Waiting.
( laughing ): Could you
make that a short wait?
Now, new members of the tribe,
custom demands that
you must dance now.
Dance to show your joy.
( Chanting )
( Others join in )
Dance. All dance!
( Chanting, bells jingling, drum beating )
GREG: Dad, can we have
one last look at the canyon?
It's really something, huh?
You just never get tired of looking at it.
I hate to say it,
we better get started, gang.
Remember us? We're the Brady family.
You mean we used to be.
Now we're the Brady braves.

you must dance now.
Dance to show your joy.
( Chanting )
( Others join in )
Dance. All dance!
( Chanting, bells jingling, drum beating )
GREG: Dad, can we have
one last look at the canyon?
It's really something, huh?
You just never get tired of looking at it.
I hate to say it,
we better get started, gang.
Remember us? We're the Brady family.
You mean we used to be.
Now we're the Brady braves.
