Creature from the Black Lagoon Page #4

You'd better stay with Thompson.

It's our last chance to get the proof.

You can see for yourself it's still here!

We're fighting for our lives, and

you're worried people won't believe us?

Is all right down below.

- Go in the cabin and lock the door.

- No, stay here with us. You're safer.

- Lucas. Lucas, start your winch.

- Hm?

Go on, go on. Start your winch.

Up an inch!

Hold it!

All right, give me some slack.

A little more.

Whoa!

Take it away.

Easy. A little more. Whoa.

Take it away. Take it up.

More. More.

Hold it.

All right, take it away.

Up, up!

She must have slipped.

- We'll just have to try it again.

- How, David?

I'll have to use the aqualung.

I'm going to help him.

I'm going in with you.

All we're interested in right now is getting

the entrance to this lagoon cleared.

- I'll be the bait for him.

- Oh, Mark. Get out of my way.

Let it come for me.

It'll give you a chance to get at him.

- You're crazy.

- To want to make the biggest find ever?

You don't know what this can mean!

To all of us!

- Mark, you're not going with me.

- I am.

Thank you, Carl.

Lucas, stand by the winch.

Carl, stand by that cable.

It's the only way.

We've got to clear this inlet.

Hey, that fellow down there, you think

he's a mosquito you can shoo away?

- We've got to take that chance.

- Sure! An expedition needs two martyrs.

Kay, Kay! I'm doing

the only thing we can do.

If we all just sit here,

we'll all end up as Mark did!

Wait a minute. Something you just said,

about his... not being a mosquito.

Maybe we won't have to fight him

on his own terms after all.

- How much rotenone have we got left?

- Not enough.

Enough to use in a spray gun?

What?

Oh! You mean to kill like a mosquito, eh?

- It worked for us before.

- And it took plenty of time.

All we want is to make him groggy.

Just keep him away long enough

so I can get a cable around that tree.

What do we use for the spray gun?

One of the air bottles.

A solution of rotenone released

under pressure. That ought to do the trick!

- Some trick!

- Come on.

- Lucas, you stand guard.

- Yes.

Can you hurry it up?

- I shoot him, but I miss.

- He'll be back.

Hurry.

- Give me a hand!

- David!

- Hey, did you see him?

- He's there, all right.

- Give me a hand with this equipment.

- Sim.

- I got the cable around the log.

- Good!

- Get ready with that winch.

- All right.

I'll get her started.

- Give it a little slack.

- Sim.

Whoa, whoa. Get ready to take her back.

Kay, uncleat that line for me.

Fast.

All right, take her back.

Take it back.

Hard astern.

She's coming. Back.

Back.

She's coming.

Back.

Keep it going. Hard astern.

Whoa. We're clear.

Stand by to pull her up with the winch.

Pull it in.

Ho-ho.

I'll go down and unfasten it.

Some slack.

More slack.

Slack. That's enough.

That's good. Now you're getting

it. Just slip the bar through the ring.

- Hurry, David.

- I've almost got it.

Hey! He got her! He got her!

No, don't shoot! Don't shoot!

You might hit Kay!

Give me a hand.

Lucas, get to the beach entrance.

Kay!

Kay!

Kay?

Kay!

- Kay, darling.

- Oh, David...

David!

Get back, Kay. Get back.

No, no more. Let him go.

No.
