Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove Page #5

---

- Let him in.

- I'm here if you need me.

How comforting. Close the door.

- You spineless sack of scum.

- Well, nice to see you too, Gus.

- Have a seat.

- You sent them. I know you did.

To poison Willy.

- Sent who? What are-?

- You wanted to kill Willy.

- I wanna own Willy, why would I do-?

- I was taking away from your business.

- Nonsense, you've barely made a dent.

- I know you're behind this.

Gus, it wasn't me.

I swear on my mother's life. My mother.

May she drop dead

of a terrible skin-rotting disease if I'm lying.

Have you reconsidered my offer?

No. You're not getting him.

You'll come around.

- Never.

- Fine.

The longer it takes,

the more desperate you're gonna become.

Willy's getting bigger,

that lagoon is getting smaller...

...as is my offer,

which just went down to 400.

If it wasn't you,

who would do a thing like that?

I don't know, Gus.

There are sick people in this world.

That is why you've gotta give him to me.

I mean, I've got the resources.

I can put security around his tank 24/7.

Willy will be happy. He'll be safe.

Yeah. Swearing on your mother's life?

That's a little bit harsh, eh?

You never met my mother.

I'm gonna stay here for the night.

- Those guys aren't coming back.

- Willy doesn't know that.

I'm gonna turn in.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I got the phone right here.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

[GIGGLES]

[MOANS]

You'll be fine. It's okay.

They're gone.

See this? This is called a phone.

If anyone comes to bother us,

all I do is I push these buttons...

...and then the police come, see?

So you've got nothing to worry about.

You can just go to sleep.

[WHISTLES]

Not now.

I'm really tired.

What? Are you hungry?

Here you go. No fish?

Well, what do you want?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

[LAUGHING]

Whoo! Yeah.

[KIRRA WHOOPS]

[KIRRA LAUGHING]

Grandpa, did you see him?

Oh, I see him, all right.

[CROWD CHEERING AND CLAPPING]

Yes, it's true.

Kirra is a remarkable young lady.

Go, Willy.

GUS:

No fear of this baby wild orca.

In fact, she and Willy are best of friends.

Let's hear it for her.

Yeah. Whoo.

Well done, my dear.

- How's Willy doing today?

KIRRA:
He's doing great.

GUS:

You go, girl.

- How old are you?

- I'm 11.

[CHATTERING]

- Whoa.

- Hey.

I think we've got enough

to cover his fish bill.

Willy and I need our cut.

I'm gonna complete

the final part of his training.

Don't spend it all at once.

You have to stop using your eyes

and start using your sonar.

- What's that thing around his head?

- You'll see.

Ready? One, two, three.

[WHISTLING]

Okay, we're gonna try something different,

but you're gonna have to trust me, okay?

[SQUEALING]

Calm down, calm down. Shh.

I'm right here.

Try another one.

[WHISTLING AND CLICKING]

Good boy.

See, you found me.

Kirra, Willy's chowing hundreds of pounds

of fish a day.

- He's gonna eat me out of house and home.

- I just need a while longer...

...to get him up to speed

with his echolocation.

- He's eating me into bankruptcy.

- Give me a week.

But even if you get his sonar working,

you heard those marine biologists.

He can't be on his own

out there in the ocean.

One week.

One week.

Try another one.

[WHISTLING AND CLICKING]

He almost got it.

Start using your sonar.

[CLICKING]

[WHOOPS]

Let's see him try this.

I knew you could do it.

I am so proud of you.

Oh, good boy.

Come on, let's go.

He wants you to come for a ride.

I don't know about that.

[CLUCKING]

Come on, come on.

[LAUGHING AND WHOOPING]

GUS:
How many tickets do you want?

WOMAN 1:
Adult, one child.

Excellent. There you go.

Thank you very much. Have a good time.

Thank you. Let's go.

GUS:
Hi.

WOMAN 2:
Hi, one ticket.

GUS:
All right. Wanna see Willy, huh?

WOMAN 2:
Thank you.

GUS:

I thought I smelled something.

What do you want?

To tell you that in 15 minutes

my offer goes down from 400 to 300K.

[GUS CHUCKLES]

Gus, I can get cheaper orcas

from South America.

- Why don't you?

- Because I want Willy.

He belongs here. He's got a history here.

- If I have to, I'm gonna get on a boat-

GUS:
You're not gonna have to.

We got a deal?

I don't have much of a choice.

He can't go back into the wild,

and he's getting too big to stay here.

You trying to convince me or you?

KIRRA:

Isn't he just gorgeous?

Five hundred K, and it's a deal.

KIRRA:
He's just beautiful,

and he's a great marine animal.

Okay.

- I'll be ready for him in five days.

- I'll need 10.

Kirra's going back to Australia.

We'll wait till then.

Ten days it is.

Where are my sunglasses?

All we need is a crane

and we can lift Willy over the lagoon wall.

It's a big ocean out there.

You heard those biologists.

He can't survive without his pod.

But he can find them.

He knows how to use his sonar now...

...and anyway, anything's better

than life in a chlorinated pool.

Including starving to death?

Kirra, I think Willy came here

because he needs man's help.

For all we know,

the rest of his pod could've been killed.

He could be an orphan.

You don't get to pick your lot in life.

- If I can find his pod, will you help me?

- You're not gonna find his pod.

- Just give me a simple yes or no.

- I left them on the counter.

I'll find your sunglasses

if you give me a simple yes or no.

Yes or no to what?

If I can find his pod,

you'll help me set him free.

Yes, fine.

Now, where did you hide my sunglasses?

Try your melon.

Kirra, come down,

I have something to show you.

Okay.

- Hey, did you get the pieces?

- Yeah, I got it all.

Okay. Now, put it down there.

KIRRA:
What are you making?

MANSA:
A recording device.

Okay. Now, there's a piece of plastic

by the game booths. Can you get that?

- We'll be right back.

- Okay.

MANSA:

Take it down easy.

Slow, slow. Okay, Kirra.

KIRRA:
Can you hear him?

- Shh. Shh. Shh.

[CLICKING AND WHISTLING]

Yes.

MANSA:

Let it down easy. Careful.

KIRRA:
Do you think the pod

will hear Willy's sounds?

[WILLY CLICKING AND WHISTLING

ON RECORDING]

SIFISO:
Anything?

- No.

Give them time.

Something we don't have.

Don't think like that.

Okay, okay.

We have to get your mind

off Willy's pod for one day.

Come on.

Let's go.

Uncle Rudy?

Well, look who's here.

He's even got a girlfriend with him.

That's not my girlfriend.

- Do you like them?

- Oh, yeah.

Well, what are you waiting for,

young lady?

Just put your arm

underneath his bum there.

Okay. That's it.

Stroke his ears. He loves it.

- Very good.

- There we go.

Isn't that beautiful?

You know what?

I think they're tired, they need a nap.

How about we go to a giraffe?

I've got a giraffe that needs feeding.

RUDY:
There she is. There we go.

KIRRA:
Whoa.

KEEPER:
There we go.

RUDY:
Oh, lovely. Fantastic.

KIRRA:

Beautiful.

It's amazing.

Let me give you a push, help you off.

- Don't be a stranger, now, bye-bye.

KIRRA:
Bye.

SIFISO:
Bye, Uncle Rudy.

- Thanks for everything.
