He tried to help you.

He stood up for you

when nobody else in the world

even wanted to know you.

Ernest is losing everything

he cares about...

his home, his job,

everything.

And all you can think about

is what you want.

[Sighs]

Tsk.

You're not gonna leave,

are you, Ernest?

Yeah. [Sighs]

No more Counselor Ernest.

No more shaping and molding

young minds

into a focused worldview.

No more Kamp Kikakee.

Ernest, uh,

we've been thinking.

Yeah.

We ain't got much of a chance,

but we got a plan.

If we stop those miners,

then there will be

a Kamp Kikakee.

Boys, we can't stop

those miners.

Look what they did to me,

and that was just one

of 'em.

Come on, Ernest.

That don't sound like

no path of the brave to me.

I don't wanna go back

to no institution.

I wanna stay right

here with you.

Yeah, me too.

We all do, Ernest.

Yeah, come on, Ernest.

Come on.

We can get 'em.

Hey, it's the path

of the brave.

Come on.

We can get 'em.

Let's go for it.

We can do it, Ernest.

You know what I think?

I think we might just

could beat 'em.

- All right!

- All right!

- All right!

And run 'em off this land.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Yeah.

I think we might just get

a little bit rowdy.

[Boys cheering]

And it might be an ugly

thing to watch.

- Whoa!

- Yeah!

We got a plan?

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Me for you!

- And you for me!

- And you for me!

Me and you

We're gonna make it

together

Others may fail,

we say never

'Cause we've got the will

and the power to survive

And now we're united

with one voice

We're free on the path

like a wild horse

Those who would stand

in our way will step aside

When I have you here

beside me

I know the dream we share

will guide me

Like an arrow

straight to the mark

Brave hearts

Fighting for the rights

of all the dreamers

Brave hearts

You and me...

we are the true believers

Brave hearts

Yeah! Let's go!

- All right! All right!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, we're gonna

get those guys!

- Yeah!

- We're gonna kill 'em.

Oh, yeah.

We are out of hydraulics.

Hey, look,

it's Ken and Barbie.

What are you jerks

doin' here?

I thought you ran away

with the others.

I think they missed us.

We wouldn't want you guys

to have to get in a fight

without us.

[Birds chirping]

Come on.

[Indistinct conversations]

Eddie, that's...

that's enough.

Come on, Eddie.

[Engine stops]

[Indistinct, distant

conversations]

[Birds chirping]

[Whirring]

Jake, ammo.

Fix this linguini...

With broken clam shells.

[Sniffs] Good.

[Singing in native language]

Grandfather...

you can't do this!

[Singing continues]

These are children!

Ernest, are you crazy?

Those are grown men out there.

You don't stand a chance.

They ain't gonna get

this camp.

We can't win this fight

without legal help.

They ain't gonna get

this camp.

[Engine turns over]

Okay.

Bobby Wayne, Crutchfield,

you go this way

with the multibow.

Check.

Vargas, Danny,

you take the split.

Moose, you come with me

to the lantern launcher.

[Indistinct conversations]

Ready.

Okay. That did it.

We'll start filing the papers

What are you doing?

I'm putting an end

to all this.

Sherman,

you can't be serious.

Shut up, Blatz.

Sherman, you've carried this

way too far.

Now, let's cut our losses

and seek legal satisfaction.

This isn't business

any longer.

This is personal!

Sherman, you are crazy.
