BILL:	(Reaching into his vest pocket and producing a wedding ring.) I'm gointer lasso that shimmy and domesticate it. She's mine!

KING:	Hey, wait awhile! You don't make love to a jungle girl like that. What you need to win her is a "love stick".

BILL:	What is a love stick?

KING:	I'll show you (He speaks to one of his warriors) He'll bring one in a minute. You'll have to learn to make "Jungle Love" (The warrior returns with two or three clubs about the size of a baseball bat) This is the great love maker. (He hands one to Bill)

BILL:	(Puzzled) Say king, what's the idea?

KING:	(With a wise wink) My man tell me one love stick is worth a hundred compliments.

BILL:	(Enlightened) I get you king. Just leave me alone with the princess for a few minutes.

KING:	(Rises to go. He offers his arm to Edna and Pete's wife) Come Edna, I want you to see our diamond mines and select some stones for yourself and friends.)

PETE:	(Astonished) Real diamonds, Uncle Cliff?

KING:	Sure. Come on and make your own selections.

PETE:	(Hurrying after party) Lead on, not soon, but now if not quicker. (The party exits left; only Bill and the princess are left on stage. Bill practises several swings with the club, flexes the muscles of his arms, limbers up generally. Then with club in hand approaches Zido who is picking flowers all the while. A warrior enters (left) with a club in his right hand. He is carrying a limp girl under the left arm. He exits right. Zido's back is still turned. He lifts his club to stike. Zido turns smiling sweetly and offers him a flower. He drops club.
