Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove

---

I hate to wake you in the middle of the

night, but after that pneumonia scare, I-

She's all right. It's just a common cold.

Now, of course, I need my assistant

to verify my prognosis.

Kirra?

Come on over.

Take these...

...and listen right here.

- You hear that gurgling sound?

- Mm-hm.

It means she's got a common cold.

[SAM & KIRRA CHUCKLE]

He's had this for about six weeks.

It's okay.

- See his tongue in there?

- Uh-huh.

So cute.

[SAM CHUCKLING]

SAM:

Wow.

[LAUGHING]

What is an animal that starts with A?

Ant is an animal that starts with A.

What is an animal that starts with B?

Bear is an animal that starts with B.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[LAUGHING]

[TUBA PLAYING]

SAM:
Pumpkin, just because your

band teacher wants you to learn the tuba...

...doesn't mean you have to.

What about the flute?

[MOOS]

I think Matilda agrees.

Can you hand me that can of nails

over there, please?

[GRUNTING]

Dad? Dad?

I'll call an ambulance.

You can go in now.

MAN:

Hey, you're doing fine, Mrs. Black.

KIRRA:

Oh, my goodness.

Can I hug you?

Of course. Come here, baby.

How do you feel?

About the same as I look, I reckon.

I'm gonna be here

for six weeks minimum.

- Six weeks?

- Yeah.

We need someone to take care of you.

- I can take care of myself.

- I know you can, only not really.

- Yes, I can.

- Oh, you can't stay home alone.

I was thinking

about sending you to Aunt Cathy's.

Her dog chews up everything I own.

- What about Uncle Phil?

- Dad.

Which leaves Grandpa Gus.

- You told me he was a nutcase.

- And he lives in South Africa.

I am not going to South Africa.

I'm going to stay right here with you.

Six weeks, six months, six years.

- Anything it takes.

SAM:
I'm gonna miss you.

- Don't, Kirra-

- I can't hear you.

- Kirra, please take those off.

- Not going to South Africa.

[SHELLY FRAYLEY'S "UP UP AND AWAY"

PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]

MAN:

Kirra? Hi, Kirra.

Hi. You're Kirra, right?

Yes. Something tells me

you're not my grandpa.

I'm not your grandfather,

but he sent me to come pick you up.

Hi, my name is Mansa Kampur.

Gus Grisby sent me.

- I was notified you'd be here.

- Okay.

AIR HOSTESS:
I just need you to sign this.

MANSA:
Okay.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you. Bye.

These your things?

Okay. Welcome to South Africa.

MAN 1 [OVER PA]:
Your attention, please.

No parking at the white curb.

MAN 2:

Taxi, over here.

[MANSA & OFFICER SPEAKING

IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Whew.

[ENGINE SPLUTTERING]

Ah. There's my baby.

How come my grandpa wasn't here

to pick me up?

Uh, it's because he's in the middle

of a very important business negotiation.

[HORIZONTAL LADIES CLUB'S "WINNING"

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Okay. Have to take three cards.

GUS:

I'll take a single.

Being confident, eh, Gus?

Ooh.

What the heck.

My granddaughter's getting in today,

buy her a nice present.

Five hundred.

WAITRESS:

Here you are.

I'm all in.

GUS:

I call.

Well, I got an eight and two threes.

- Ha, ha, ha.

ROLF:
Oh, and, uh...

Gus, you better rethink that present.

[CHILDREN SHOUTING

IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

So, what do you think?

Your new home.

I'll get your bags.

Your grandpa

always wanted to be a pirate.

Come, let me show you inside.

And here it is.

Okay, wait. Let me close the door.

It's not much,

but at least it's oceanfront.

Come. Let me show you your room.

Let me just get that for you.

Here.

And that too.

You know what? It's not bad.

I could clean it.

I could paint that pillar pink over there,

I think.

Or maybe blue, or whatever you want...

...and then I'll get my wife

to make some new curtains.

Thanks for your help.

I'll be outside the room if you need me.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[KNOCKING]

Kirra?

Open up, young lady. I wanna see you.

Why didn't you come to the airport?

Huh. Didn't Mansa tell you?

I got an important job I'm working on.

But I did get you a present.

Yes, I did. I got it right here.

I really, really wanna go home.

Can you call my dad?

I'm sorry I wasn't able to pick you up.

But you'd understand if you'd been there.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[ANIMAL SQUAWKING]

GUS:

Give me a break, will you? I'm coming.

Yes, I hear you.

Yes, Engelbert.

If your head felt like mine...

...you wouldn't be so chipper,

you little twerp.

Be there in a minute.

Kirra, breakfast.

I really just wanna go home.

Can't you just call my dad?

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey. Don't move.

Let me just look at you.

Jeez, look a little like your mom.

Kind of spooky.

How come you don't have

any pictures of her anywhere?

What, you don't like my decor?

I'm not much into hugs

and all that nonsense...

...but I did get you a present.

There you go.

I'm not 6 anymore, you know?

Come on, I'll show you around.

Where did you get the penguin?

Engelbert?

Bought him for the petting zoo.

Spend more money

on the bugger's fish habit...

...than I do on my own groceries.

You gonna stay in this dump all day?

Five tickets to ride this beauty.

You can ride it all day long

if you want, for free.

This is one of the kids' favorites.

It's why it gets a lot of wear and tear.

So, what do you think?

Pretty amazing, huh?

Kids come from miles around

to see this place.

You got unlimited access.

Lucky girl, huh?

Hey, slow down there, matey.

BOY:

Hey.

[GUS ROARING]

I'll throw you in the brig,

you little rascal.

I'm getting too old for this.

We got all kinds of animals here.

Ostriches, pigs.

If you're brave enough,

you can get on one of those angry donkeys.

Do you know how to play darts?

- We got those-

- Excuse me.

- We got-

- Hi.

This park is a rip-off.

I mean, nothing works.

The putt-putt's pathetic,

the slide's filthy...

...the merry-go-round's broken.

I bought five tickets for my son

to ride the donkey-

- King George lll. That's his name.

- The sign says "Donkey rides. "

- There's no "riding. "

- You want me to whip him?

Would that make you happy? Huh?

WOMAN:
I'm not asking you to- No.

GUS:
Let me get my whip.

WOMAN:
Please, listen.

- Ma'am, I'm kidding.

I'll be right there.

- Sifiso.

SIFISO:
I'll be right there.

Oh, captain, my captain.

Sifiso, meet Kirra. Kirra, Sifiso.

- Kirra. What a beautiful name.

- Thanks. Sifiso's nice too.

Yeah, Sifiso's got some pipes on him.

He moonlights crooning

at the local restaurants. Come on, son.

Give us some of those golden tones.

[SINGING ARIA]

GUS:
Well, he ain't Elvis,

but he can get the job done.

Listen, I gotta see if King George lll

can move a few inches.

Show Kirra around the rest of the park.

SIFISO:

Come on this way.

And this is our water slide.

It's our main attraction.

You have to try it.

This is our 18th hole. Isn't it cool?

Wow.

And we have amazing

soft-serve ice cream.

Let's go check it out.

Gus. Gus. I fixed it.

Mansa. Mansa, I asked you

to fix the spout on the porpoise...

...so that it spouts water.

I know, but I also found a way

to make it spout the ball, see?

I can see that kid playing another round

of putt-putt with the same ball.
