42. Watch it!Copy !req
43. I was! I was following you!Copy !req
44. Maybe I am overlooking the obvious...Copy !req
45. Bingo!Copy !req
46. The Arumbayan idol!Copy !req

48. In the original sketch
the ear is broken...Copy !req

58. Hello, ma'am.Copy !req
59. Did Jacob Balthazar live here?Copy !req
60. Oh, dear, yes. He was my best tenant.
Are you family?Copy !req
61. Just a reporter.Copy !req
62. Would it be okay
if I had a look at his room?Copy !req
63. I don't see why not. I'll take you up.Copy !req
64. Is that Mr. Balthazar?Copy !req
65. Yes. He was such a lovely man.Copy !req

70. Peepo! Shhh! He's had such a day,Copy !req
71. what with all the police
and the firemen checking the gas.Copy !req
72. You mean this parrot was here
the whole time the gas was leaking?Copy !req
73. Yes...Copy !req
74. He's lucky to be alive.Copy !req
75. The open skylight probably saved him.Copy !req
76. Oh, no! The firemen opened that
to let out the gas.Copy !req
77. The gas!Copy !req
78. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
79. I don't suppose you'd like
to own a parrot?Copy !req
80. I mean,
he's really a friendly little guy.Copy !req
81. He takes care of himself,
doesn't eat much...Copy !req
82. That looks like the idol
from the museum!Copy !req
83. Huh? Oh, I'd love to, but I travel a lot.Copy !req
84. Well, if you know of anyone...Copy !req
85. Certainly! Thanks for your help, ma'am.

but not the bird?Copy !req
91. Ow!Copy !req
92. Pardon me, sir!Copy !req
93. That's it!Copy !req
94. Jacob Balthazar was murdered to keep
him quiet about the idol he carved!Copy !req
95. The killer turned on the gas
to look like an accident!Copy !req
96. If only I had proof, a witness...Copy !req
97. A witness!Copy !req
98. You gave the parrot away?Copy !req
99. Just a moment ago.Copy !req
100. To a Spanish man with a long black coat.Copy !req
101. I didn't get his name.Copy !req
102. He was in a hurry to catch a bus.Copy !req
103. - Bus? Thanks!Copy !req
104. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
105. - I beg your pardon?
- I say nothing, señor.Copy !req
106. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
107. But...Copy !req
108. I hope I'm not too late!Copy !req
109. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
110. Oh, no! The parrot!Copy !req
111. No!Copy !req

116. Excuse me, are you alright?Copy !req
117. Sí, gracias.Copy !req
118. About that parrot...Copy !req
119. Ah, sí. My beautiful parrot.
A present from my grandfather.Copy !req
120. He will be most sad.Copy !req
121. But that was Balthazar's parrot.
Why wouldn't he tell me the truth?Copy !req
122. "Lost... one green and gold parrot.Copy !req
123. If found, please return to Tintin,
26 Labrador Road."Copy !req
124. It will be in the evening edition.Copy !req
125. Great! Thanks.Copy !req
126. Lost. One green and gold parrot.
If found...Copy !req
127. Problemo?Copy !req
128. Sure it was that kid?Copy !req
129. Sí. He placed the ad
un momento before me.Copy !req
130. Maybe this Señor Tintin wants
this parrot for the same reason we do.Copy !req
131. Maybe he too is looking for the name
of Balthazar's killer?Copy !req
132. There is only one way
to find out.Copy !req
133. I will pay him a little visit.Copy !req
134. You ran an ad.Copy !req
135. Is this the right bird?Copy !req
136. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
137. It sure is! Thanks!Copy !req
138. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
139. Watch him while I find a cage.
Okay, Snowy?Copy !req
140. Okay, Snowy!Copy !req
141. Okay, Snowy!Copy !req
142. Okay, Snowy!Copy !req
143. Great greedy guts!Copy !req

145. Oh, no! They're fighting!Copy !req
146. Snowy!Copy !req
147. Oh no!Copy !req
148. Not again!Copy !req
149. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
150. You!Copy !req
151. What's all that racket?Copy !req
152. Oh, it's raining!Copy !req
153. No!
It's coming from Mr. Balthazar's room!Copy !req
154. Oh, dear!
I must have left the skylight open!Copy !req
155. Poor Mr. Balthazar.Copy !req
156. What I wouldn't give just
to hear him say...Copy !req
157. - Leave me alone!Copy !req
158. Colonel Barker! Help!Copy !req
159. It's Jacob Balthazar's ghost!Copy !req
160. Ghost? Nonsense!Copy !req
161. Come on, chaps.
Let's get to the bottom of this.Copy !req
162. Leave me alone! Great greedy guts!Copy !req
163. The dockworker's strike
in Le HavreCopy !req
164. spread to other ports,Copy !req
165. delaying more than a dozen ships.Copy !req
166. And locally,
we've all heard of homing pigeons,Copy !req
167. but now there's a homing parrot.Copy !req
168. A day after being given away,Copy !req
169. the parrot of the late Jacob Balthazar
has returned to his roost...Copy !req
170. Come on!Copy !req
171. Oh! You really are unlucky.Copy !req
172. I missed the parrot again?Copy !req
173. I'm afraid so.Copy !req
174. The same gentleman from yesterday
picked him up a few moments ago.Copy !req
175. Great greedy guts!Copy !req
176. It's Tintin!Copy !req
177. He must want the parrot
for the same reason I do...Copy !req
178. Look out, Snowy!Copy !req
179. We got them now, Snowy!Copy !req
180. Obviously, the wrong number.Copy !req
181. Or they used fake plates.Copy !req
182. Or...Copy !req
183. Bingo!Copy !req
184. Missed again!Copy !req
185. Missed again!Copy !req
186. Shut up, stupid bird!Copy !req
187. Right now, that stupid bird
is smarter than you, Ramon.Copy !req
188. If he is so smart, why hasn't
he told us who killed Balthazar?Copy !req
189. Sooner or later he will.Copy !req
190. Missed again!Copy !req
191. Shut up!Copy !req
192. Missed again!Copy !req
193. Fool! That parrot means a fortune to us!Copy !req
194. Without it,
we will never find the real idol!Copy !req
195. Right, my amigo.
You will tell us who—Copy !req
196. Caramba! I'll kill you!Copy !req
197. Rodrigo Lopez! Leave me alone!Copy !req
198. Lopez?Copy !req
199. Lopez!Copy !req
200. Hello? Global Travel?Copy !req

206. this month?Copy !req
207. Good! Good!Copy !req
208. Passage for two, please.Copy !req

210. Caramba!Copy !req
211. Lopez could be hiding anywhere.
This ship is muy grande.Copy !req
212. Patience, Ramon.Copy !req
213. Ramon! Look at him!Copy !req
214. What about him?Copy !req
215. Couldn't that be Tintin in disguise?Copy !req
216. It is possible but...Copy !req
217. Oh, dear! Oh, dear!Copy !req
218. - He wears a wig!
- It must be Tintin!Copy !req
219. Oh! Help! Help!Copy !req

226. Caramba!Copy !req
227. That dog! It is Tintin's!Copy !req
228. Are you positive?Copy !req
229. Sí.Copy !req
230. The fool!Copy !req
231. He has disguised himself
but forgot to disguise his dog!Copy !req
232. If you are right,Copy !req
233. it is his fatal mistake.Copy !req
234. Good boy!Copy !req
235. First call for dinner!Copy !req
236. First service for dinner!Copy !req
237. First, we make sure
that it is a disguise.Copy !req
238. One tug should reveal the truth.Copy !req
239. Uh-oh!Copy !req
240. I thought for positive
that was Tintin's dog!Copy !req
241. When will you learn
to leave the thinking to me?Copy !req
242. Okay, big thinker. How do we find Lopez?Copy !req
243. There are over 300 cabins
he could hide in.Copy !req
244. Let's face it,Copy !req
245. all he has to do is stay in his cabin
and we will never find him.Copy !req
246. Evening, gentlemen.
Pretty brisk night to be out on deck!Copy !req
247. - Oh, we love the sea!
- Sí!Copy !req
248. Well, you're certainly not like others
I could mention.Copy !req
249. Oh, really?Copy !req
250. Take that chap in cabin 17, for instance.Copy !req
251. Lopez, I think his name is.Copy !req
252. Lopez? What about him?Copy !req
253. Never sticks his nose outside his door!Copy !req
254. Oh, really?Copy !req
255. Guess he doesn't have a nose
for the sea like you do, eh?Copy !req
256. Isn't that interesting!Copy !req
257. We must pay a visit to Mr. Lopez.Copy !req
258. The passenger list...Copy !req
259. Lopez... Lopez...Copy !req
260. Lopez...Copy !req
261. Lopez! Cabin 17!Copy !req

267. He's gone!Copy !req
268. A few more minutes and we are home free.Copy !req

270. That Lopez fellow I was telling you
about last night,Copy !req
271. he's disappeared.Copy !req
272. No!Copy !req
273. Yes!Copy !req
274. There'd been a struggle in his cabin.Copy !req
275. They suspect foul play.Copy !req
276. Shocking! Do they suspect anyone?Copy !req
277. They do indeed, gentlemen!Copy !req
278. Game over!Copy !req
279. - Caramba!
- Tintin!Copy !req
280. As captain of this vessel,
I am holding you for murder.Copy !req
281. Keep a close watch on them
until the police arrive.Copy !req
282. I know these two well.Copy !req
283. They are dangerous crooks wanted
by our police.Copy !req
284. Why did they kill Lopez?Copy !req
285. Because Lopez killed Balthazar,
who helped smuggle this.Copy !req
286. The Arumbayan idol!Copy !req
287. There must be something special
about this idol.Copy !req
288. Maybe the museum will know
after I return it.Copy !req
289. Hmm. Well, Tintin,
looks like your job's finished.Copy !req
290. Somehow, I'm not too sure about that.Copy !req
291. ECLAIRCopy !req
