1. 0:12<dramatic music>
2. 1:31Being the third son of a good family,  and not educated to any trade, my head
3. 1:36began to be filled early with thoughts  of leaving England to see the world.
4. 1:40And thus against the will, nay the commands  of my father, I broke loose and went to sea.
5. 1:53How true my father's prophecy of disaster.  For not long after, being in the latitude of 12°
6. 2:0018 minutes bound for Africa to buy N*gro slaves  for my fellow planters in the Brazils, a violent
7. 2:05tornado came upon us, which carried us Westward,  far out of the way of all human commerce.
8. 2:43<waves crash, winds swirl>
9. 4:37My only possession, my only weapon.
10. 5:40I woke refreshed, yet half perished with hunger.
11. 6:31Thirsty, without provisions, with little  hope of survival, I set out to survey my fate.
12. 6:39No other land in sight. I was  on an island, imbarrened by the sea.
13. 7:29The wreck of our ship, stranded during the night.
14. 9:11Aye!
15. 9:16Aye!
16. 10:21<cat meows>
17. 10:29<laughs>
18. 10:42She might slip from the rock. I must  contrive a raft and try to save her precious supplies.
19. 10:50I plundered from the wreck many  chests with all manner of clothes, tallow,
20. 10:55rum, gunpowder, the carpenters's tools and scores
21. 10:58of other most useful articles.
22. 11:00Not to forget that fellow survivor Sam.
23. 11:32Gold. At what use to me?
24. 11:42However, on second thoughts.
25. 12:10Tinder, steel, flint, fire.
26. 12:16Fire!
27. 12:17Worth more to me than all the gold in the world.
28. 12:30How often I'd seen my servants do this. Yet I, a master to servants, couldn't even build my own fire.
29. 13:15<dog barking>
30. 13:18Rex!
31. 13:21Rex. You're alive. You're alive too.
32. 13:35<thunder crashes>
33. 13:39What was that, Rex?
34. 13:48What is it?
35. 14:03She was gone. That fearful sound  had been the death-cry of our poor ship.
36. 14:08I regretted all iron work, cables,  and lead that had gone down with her.
37. 14:17Rats. The only things from the  ship I did not want to ashore.
38. 14:53No ship would sail by without my knowledge.
39. 14:56I kept dry branches ready to flame into a mighty beacon.
40. 15:02My days were hurried, crowded  with all manner of urgent tasks.
41. 15:07The most urgent of all was to secure  myself against both wild beasts and savages.
42. 15:22Meanwhile, the rains approached. And  needing a store room for all my supplies,
43. 15:26I found a place where the earth was  easiest and started to dig a cave.
44. 15:30As I had never before so much as handled  an axe, or for that matter any other kind
45. 15:34of tool, I was but a very sorry workman.  And all this cost me a great deal of time.
46. 16:24I became a passible good shot and with good  cause,
47. 16:27for my constant hard manual  labor gave me a most voracious appetite.
48. 16:35The green coconut and its milk,  I found to be most wholesome, cool & refreshing.
49. 16:44My 11th month. Days  passed and hunting wild fowl,
50. 16:50preparing food, trips to my lookout  hill to search for sight of ships.
51. 16:55One day much like another, uneventful  and ...
52. 17:01I'm sick. Chills, fever, getting worse.
53. 17:51Help! Help me!
54. 18:38In this second sleep, I had this terrible dream.
55. 18:44You here, father?
56. 18:50Yes, here. Here here here here here.
57. 18:56Not there, but here.
58. 18:59Where else would I be?
59. 19:01Are you not here?
60. 19:06How did you get here?
61. 19:08My boy, you should not leave your native country hehehe,
62. 19:13at my house, with your dear mother and me,
63. 19:16you had the very best of all possible worlds.
64. 19:23Yes yes, I remember all you told me.  You're right.
65. 19:28Give me water.
66. 19:30At home, you are well.
67. 19:33Days of misery, labor, and hardship,
68. 19:35and mankind's low estate,
69. 19:38nor yet embarrassed by the pride, envy,  luxury and ambition of its upper state
70. 19:48Water, father. Give me water.
71. 19:51Ours is the middle station of life, my boy,
72. 19:54the middle station.
73. 19:54Even kings would have  envied you. Admit that now.
74. 19:57Admit it.
75. 20:04Will you not help me?
76. 20:06I want water.
77. 20:08Why did you fling yourself into this stupid adventure?
78. 20:14Did you not know that your mother and I were  praying that God would not separate us from you.
79. 20:23You were always wayward.
80. 20:27Water. Bring me water.
81. 20:33Your mother and I will forgive you.
82. 20:36But remember, God will not forgive you.
83. 20:41<object clatters to floor>
84. 20:44<creepy giggles>
85. 21:05He will not forgive you. You will  die like a dog. You will die.
86. 21:11I will die.
87. 21:16I will die.
88. 21:36I awoke weak yet clear of head.
89. 21:38Whether I had slept for one whole day or more,
90. 21:40I could never be certain.
91. 21:43My first thought was for water.
92. 22:24did not the Brazilians have some physic to prevent  recurrence fevers of course tobacco mixed in rum
93. 23:21in that chest I found a cure for both body and
94. 23:24soul come to me in the day of trouble  and I will deliver thee and thou shalt
95. 23:42glorify me yes it's true only he  can deliver me from this place
96. 24:04i now respect the Sabbath and so mark  that day differently from all others
97. 24:30the last of it Rex time to  be denied the staff of life
98. 24:51i recalled a grass I had observed to  sprout and start to grow grain that
99. 24:57which in England we call corn and in the  new world they call wheat some few seeds
100. 25:02must have come ashore with me from the ship  with the Lord's help I could try to raise a
101. 25:08crop meanwhile I set out to make a  more perfect discovery of my domain
102. 25:23i found great amounts of cocoa orange  and lemon trees sugar cane tobacco and
103. 25:28banana i discovered the turtle which furnishes an
104. 25:37abundance of savory flesh great  quantities of most useful shell
105. 25:47and even turtle eggs
106. 25:52also that other sea beast the octopus which they
107. 25:55say some peoples have the fortitude  to eat parrots which were known to
108. 26:02me and other birds which were  foreign animals I did not
109. 26:11recognize and those I did goats
110. 27:03it was a most unusually clear day land  could I not hack out a canoe sail to it
111. 27:22i hewed out a tiny sailing canoe was  swept out to sea by some great current
112. 27:28thanks only to a sudden gale of wind was  I even fortunate enough to get back on
113. 27:32shore in other ventures I was more successful

145. 35:41and my sea coast house too i perfected myself  in old tasks and was forced to learn new ones
146. 35:47in short I learned to master everything in  my island except myself for sometimes in the
147. 35:56midst of my work the anguish of my soul of  my loneliness would break out upon me like
148. 36:02a storm escape no matter the dangers I must  do something to escape this tomb this prison

190. 47:18how many times have they come and gone while  I unknowing was on my side of the island
191. 47:59i was in a murdering humor i even thought  to lure them to my castle and from ambush

194. 48:25sleep i contrived what I called my bomb

196. 48:56how easily I might set a trap and  these monsters might be destroyed
197. 49:16after passion hatred I realized I had  no heavenscent right to be judge and
198. 49:21executioner on these people who had  done me no injury i would leave them
199. 49:26to God's justice i would not interfere  with them unless they attack me first
200. 49:41i moved about my island with the greatest of  caution never knowing when their attack might come
201. 50:57they had two victims while they strung one
