Ernest Goes to Camp Page #6

Yeah.

[Vehicle approaches]

[Brakes squeak, engine stops]

[Car door closes]

Mr. Wind Cloud...

Ah, this looks like

a museum.

Ha ha ha! I can feel

the history here.

Mr. Wind Cloud,

I am Sherman Krader,

Krader Mining Corporation.

My attorney, Mr. Blatz, has

conveyed to you my very...

[Birds chirping]

My attorney, Mr. Blatz,

has conveyed to you

my very generous offer

to obtain a lease on

a portion of land that you,

as one of the last members

of your tribe, control.

I'll... and I'm here

to double that offer.

I know it's not

very fair to me,

but, um, I realize

there's a lot

of sentimental

attachment here,

and I'm prepared

to offer you

a 10% royalty

on all the petrocite

that we can mine out of

the Kikakee area... 10%!

Mr. Wind Cloud...

Mr. Wind Cloud,

I don't think you understand.

Now, you'd be a fool

not to sign this paper.

Mr. Wind Cloud,

you have to sign this paper!

It's your patriotic duty!

[Pen clicks]

Do you understand

a word I've been saying?

Uh, chief...

your canoe

is in the river.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know

you had company.

[Speaking

native language]

Excuse me.

I'm, uh, Bob Wilson...

maybe you could help me...

Department of, uh, Soils

and Water Conservation.

Um, I'm having a little

problem communicating

with, uh,

Mr. Wind Cloud here.

You see,

there's a... there's,

um, a strip-mining company

on the upper part

of the river.

I'm getting

all the landowners here

to sign this petition

to stop their activities

before they completely

ruin the river.

Now, maybe you can

[Laughs] "talk" to him.

Ha ha ha.

And get him

to sign this.

Communicating with your

Native-American cultures

is a specialty of mine.

I'm bilingual.

It's a difficult skill,

but one which I acquired

after years of study.

Mister, you have come

to the right man.

No problemo.

Comprendo, dj vu?

Yes, I do. Yeah.

Thank you.

[Speaks

native language]

This is a sad day

for Kamp Kikakee.

I've got here a signed order

that says

the camp's got to close.

Oh, man.

What?

I'm sorry, fellas.

We're gonna have to pack

and leave.

What's happened?

This doesn't make

any sense.

The chief has signed away

control of the land

to Krader Mining Company.

[Sighs] Krader takes over

the day after tomorrow.

They're gonna move in

their heavy equipment,

and they are going to destroy

everything around here

looking for some mineral.

I'm sorry, guys.

I'm sorry this happened.

Somebody had to...

[Sighs]

...fast-talk the chief

into signing.

Ohhh.

Uh. [Sighs]

Okay, guys, let's get packed up.

We got to get out of here.

There are only

two people here

who can communicate

with grandfather.

l-lt's all a great big

misunderstanding.

I'll fix it up,

know what I mean?

I'll fix it.

You'll see.

[Brakes squeak]

Man, this is such

a major bummer.

What are we gonna do?

Go back

to the institution.

What else?

I was gettin'

to like it here.

Hey, I ain't goin' back

to no institution.

- Me neither.

- No way.

Nobody's gonna have to

go anywhere.

I knew you'd think

of something, Ernest.

You've got a plan?

Yep.

I'm gonna settle this lease

thing once and for all.

Yeah,

settle it, Ernest.

Yeah,

this I want to see.

Course, I might have to

jack a few jaws,

pass out a couple

of knuckle sandwiches.

All right!

Now you're talking!

- Come on, fellas.

Let's watch the man work.

- Yeah.

[Bed squeaks]

See these hands, huh?

Huh? Huh? You see 'em?

If I put these hands

in my pockets,

I will be arrested for carrying

concealed deadly weapons,

know what I mean?

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Go! Whoo!

[Jackhammer pounds]

[Brakes squeak]

I want to talk to the punk

who is responsible for

the actions of this company.

Now!

Ah heh. Ohhh.

Ah heh heh heh heh.

Ohh.

Ah heh heh heh heh

heh heh heh.

Come on, Ernest.

Destroy

the evil vigilance!

Come on, Ernest!

You got him! You got him!

He's not that big.

Jack his jaw, Ernest.

Yeah!

Turn out his lights!

Oh, I don't know.

I-I think his jaw

looks pretty well jacked.

Real nice.

Ah heh heh heh heh.

Nice hat, too.

Heh heh heh heh.

Uhh!

Come on, Ernest!

Get up!

- Come on! Come on!

- Let's go, man!

[Men cheering]

If he comes over here

and bothers us again,

I'm gonna give him one

of these over here

and one of those

over there.

- Ha ha ha ha!

- [Whack, thud]

What are you doing?!

Hey!

Ha ha ha ha!

[Crunch]

No! Let me go!

Aaahh!

- Moose, get back here!

- Aw, man!

All right, come on,

Ernest! Get up!

You okay, son?

You can do it!

Come on!

Uh!

Uh!

Uh!

[Indistinct talking]

Uh!

Ha ha!

Get up, man!

Get up!

Get off the ground, man.

Ha ha ha ha!

Uh.

Ohh!

[Men cheering]

[Thud]

He's all over with.

Ha ha ha ha!

Give me a hand

over here, bud.

Let's get this laid out.

I guess there ain't much

to Ernest.

Yeah, he ain't nothin'.

Jack his jaw, Ernest.

That's a bunch of bull.

[Exhales deeply]

[Breathing heavily]

I believe in you, Ernest.

But there's just some things

you can't do nothin' about.

[Sighs deeply]

I had the first two

or three of them

right where I wanted 'em.

And then the others

jumped me.

That was a brave thing

you did, Ernest.

Almost makes up for the dumb

thing you did with granddad.

I wish

I could have been there.

It wasn't a place

for women.

The damage done there tonight

was not a pretty sight.

Ernest

"The Hammer" Worrell,

warrior of the sacred land

of our fathers...

or your fathers.

I could have...

I had them...

[Crying]

This place...

and these kids...

It's everything to me.

I was a counselor.

I had everything.

And now it's all gone.

[Crying]

[Thunder rumbles]

[Rain falling]

Gee, I'm glad it's raining

There's always somethin'

to be thankful for

I'm awfully glad

it's raining

'Cause no one sees your

teardrops when it pours

And no one knows

the thunder

Is your heartbreak

in disguise

They think

the rainy night's

What put that sad look

in your eyes

Sure, I'm glad it's raining

The gentle rhythm

soothes the pain inside

I'm glad the stars

aren't shinin'

A wounded warrior needs

a place to hide

I thought I had found someone

I could count on

Till the end

What they wanted was a hero

All I needed was a friend

Gee, I'm glad it's raining

I hope the mornin' sun

won't come up soon

As long as it keeps raining

No one knows my heart broke

right in two

I thought I had found someone

I could count on

Till the end

What they wanted was a hero

All I needed was a friend

Sure, I'm glad it's raining

I'm awfully glad

it's raining

[Birds chirping]

What are you boys

doing here?

You should have gone

with the others.

We ain't going back.

[Knife clicks]

You can't stay here.

They're going to wipe out

this whole area soon.

Where's Ernest?

Probably packing

his stuff.

He's dumber than a bucket full

of hair, ain't he?

You know what dumb is?

Dumb is not knowing

who your friends are.

Ernest is the only person

in the world

who cared about you.
