Atlantis: The Lost Empire Page #8

Synopsis: 1914: Milo Thatch, grandson of the great Thaddeus Thatch works in the boiler room of a museum. He knows that Atlantis was real, and he can get there if he has the mysterious Shephards journal, which can guide him to Atlantis. But he needs someone to fund a voyage. His employer thinks he's dotty, and refuses to fund any crazy idea. He returns home to his apartment and finds a woman there. She takes him to Preston B. Whitmore, an old friend of his Grandfathers. He gives him the shepherds journal, a submarine and a 5 star crew. They travel through the Atlantic ocean, face a large lobster called the Leviathan, and finally get to Atlantis. But does the Atlantis crew have a lust for discovery, or something else?

Vinny! Heads up!

We can't let them reach

the top of that shaft!

Aah!

Vinny, new plan.

You and me, we're going

to be decoys.

Audrey, Sweet, fly up

underneath that thing...

and cut her loose.

SWEET:
We're on it.

Lieutenant!

I though you said

this thing...

could cut through

a femur in 28 seconds!

Less talk, more saw.

Uhh!

Looks like somebody's

working overtime.

Come on, girl.

Time's up.

AUDREY:
Whoa!

All right, Milo,

this is it.

Any last words?

Yeah. I really wish I had

a better idea than this!

ROURKE:

We're losing altitude.

Lighten the load.

Unh!

That's it, unless

someone wants to jump.

Ladies first.

Uhh!

HELGA:
You said

we were in this together!

Uhh!

You promised me

a percentage!

Next time,

get it in writing.

Aah!

Nothing personal.

Unh! Yaah!

Aah!

- Uhh!

- Unh!

- Aah!

- Uhh!

Well, I have

to hand it to you.

You're a bigger

pain in the neck...

than I would have

ever thought possible.

I consider myself

an even-tempered man.

It takes a lot

to get under my skin...

but congratulations...

you just won

the solid-gold kewpie doll.

[Metal creaks]

Uhh...

Uhh! Uhh!

Nothing personal.

Tired, Mr. Thatch?

Hyah!

Aw, that's a darn shame...

because I'm just

getting warmed up.

Aah!

[Rumbling]

Aah! Aah!

[Shrieks]

Aah!

Thank heaven.

Whoa!

[Growls]

[Shrieks]

[Groaning]

Uhh!

Ahh.

Oh, great!

Ahh.

[Rumbling]

MOLE:
The volcano...

she awakes!

Hey, I had nothing

to do with it.

COOKIE:
This here would be

a good place not to be.

No, wait.

We got to get her back...

or the whole city

will die.

And if we don't get

out of here, we'll die.

It's the only way

to reverse this.

MILO:
Just do it!

AUDREY:

Milo, no!

Go!

MILO:
Aah!

Whoa!

Whoa!

The fissure...

it is about to eject...

its pyroclastic fury!

Milo, Mole says

the wall's going to blow!

Unh! Uhh!

[Atlanteans gasp]

[Voices murmuring]

[Crackling]

[Electricity crackles]

[Rumbling]

[Voices murmuring]

[Wind whistling]

[Electricity crackles]

[Thunder]

[Rumbling]

[Loud boom]

[Muffled splashing]

[Electricity crackles]

[Cracking]

[Rumbling]

Uhh.

Milo?

Atlantis will honor

your names forever.

I only wish there was more

we could do for you.

Uh, you know, thanks anyway...

but I think we're good.

They'll take you

as far as the surface.

We are really going

to miss you, Milo.

You know, I'm going

to reopen the flower shop...

and I'm going to think of

you guys every single day...

Monday through Friday,

Saturday until 2:00.

Sunday... I'm going to take

Sunday off probably, and...

Maybe I'll go in for

a couple of hours, you know...

but August...

I'm going to take August.

I ain't so good

at speechifyin'...

but I wanted you to have this.

It's the bacon grease

from the whole trip.

Cookie, l...

[Mutters]

Aw...

[Kiss]

Ah-ah.

See you, Milo.

MOLE:
Hey, Milo!

Heh heh!

[Insects buzzing]

[Laughs]

Mole.

Mole. Wow.

Hey, well...

good-bye, Mole.

Now, you sure

you want to stay?

There's

a hero's welcome...

waiting for the man

who discovered Atlantis.

Ah, I don't think the world

needs another hero.

Besides, I hear

there's an opening down here...

for an expert in gibberish.

You take good care of

yourself, Milo Thatch.

Yeah.

You, too, Sweet.

Come here.

[Crack]

Unh!

Sweet, uh, before you go,

could you...

No problem.

[Crack]

Ah. Oh. Thanks.

Ha ha ha!

Oh, you're getting a bill.

Can we go home now?

Come on, y'all.

Let's get one last shot...

in front of the fish.

Say "Gochk."

ALL:
Gochk.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Now, let's go

over it again...

just so we got it straight.

You didn't find anything?

Nope. Just a lot of rocks...

and fish...

little fish.

VINN Y:
Sponges.

What happened to Helga?

Well, we lost her when a flaming

zeppelin come down on her.

Missing.

WHITMORE:
That's right.

And Rourke?

Nervous breakdown.

You could say

he went all to pieces.

In fact, you could say

he was transamorgafied...

and then busted

into a zillion...

Ahem.

He's missing, too.

What about Milo?

Went down with the sub.

[Mole burrows]

MOLE:
Ah ha ha!

Lord, give me strength.

Ohh.

I'm going to miss

that boy.

At least he's

in a better place now.

MILO:
Dear Mr. Whitmore...

I hope this piece of proof

is enough for you.

[Rumbling]

[Screeching]

[Music playing]

MYA, SINGING:
They'll try

to hold you back

And they will say

you're wrong

But they will never

understand

The journey

that you're on

Mm-hmm

They'll try

to change your mind

They'll try to change

your heart

Oh, yeah

But they will never

understand

Who you are

And you'll still

believe

Still believe

And you know

You must go

Where the dream

takes you

Where your heart

longs to be

Oh

When you finally

find that place

You'll find

all you need

Where the dream

takes you

Where the dream takes you

Oh, whoa

There's something

in your soul

Something in your soul

That won't be denied

It's the faith to dream

that keeps

The dream alive

So you'll still believe

Still believe

And you know

You must go

Where the dream takes you

Where the dream takes you

Where your heart longs to be

When you finally

find that place

You'll find all you need

Where the dream takes you

Go where your heart

is meant to be

And you may find

Somebody there

Someone to share your dream

Oh, oh, oh

Whoa, whoa

Oh

All right

All right

When you finally

find that place

You'll find all you need

Where the dream leads you

Your dream

will lead you on

Only your heart

can see

Oh, yeah

There's a world

that waits for you

You're not alone

You'll find your home

Where the dream takes you

Try to change your mind

Where the dream takes you

Try to change your heart

Where the dream takes you

But you must go

Where the dream

takes you

[Chorus singing]
