Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove Page #7

---

I wanna return Willy to the sea.

Uh-huh.

I know we had an agreement,

but I didn't cash your check.

In fact,

I'm holding it right here in my hand.

Would you like to hear me rip it up?

Rolf? Rolf?

- Hey, he's coming, he's coming.

- What?

If Willy's gone

he's gonna call the police.

Come on, we gotta hurry.

Mansa, you come with me.

We'll get someone to drive the truck.

We'll see you guys at the harbor.

Okay, so Rolf is on his way.

We need to hold him off

till they get Willy loaded onto the boat.

- Okay.

- First thing he'll look for is Willy.

- But he's not gonna be in the lagoon.

- Exactly.

But another orca could be.

Maybe we could get it to spout

or something, then dive underwater?

- First the crane, and now this?

- Get ahold of yourself. Mansa.

Please, focus.

GUS [OVER RADIO]: Kirra, are you there?

KIRRA:
Kirra here.

We just loaded Willy. What's happening?

You don't wanna know.

I'll call you in a bit.

Is this a really bad idea?

Or a really, really bad idea?

Oh, this is a very good idea.

- The farther away Rolf stays, the better.

- I know that, Mansa.

JAMEEL:

Boss, we got Rolf pulling up to the gate.

Let him in. Oh, Jameel,

can you take care of his tires?

JAMEEL:

You got it, boss.

We're on, son.

- But, Gus, this thing is nowhere near ready.

- Get this thing in the water, and then hide.

Now.

[WHOOPING]

Oh, Gus, I have signed papers.

Papers signed by you.

- Rolf.

- I got a trainer coming from San Diego.

You said you could get orcas

from other sellers.

I don't want other orcas.

- I want Willy, because I bought Willy.

- I can see you're upset.

- Damn right.

- Wait, wait, wait.

Let's go to the snack bar.

- I'll get a beer.

- I'm not thirsty.

- We'll talk.

- Talk?

With you? Ha, ha. No, no, no.

You tell me just one thing.

Is Willy here,

or am I gonna call the police?

Of course he's here.

- Willy's here?

- Yes. Right this way, my friend.

- Why is he not moving?

GUS:
Nap time.

Tomorrow would be a better day.

He's under the weather.

- Under the weather? He looks dead.

- Yeah.

ROLF:

Doesn't look right.

He's up. He's awake.

See, he's moving.

The young males do that.

Impresses the ladies.

ROLF:

That's not right.

Are you sure you even want Willy?

Look at him.

- Kirra's the only one he'll respond to-

- G- G- Gus.

- I'm not discussing this.

- Are you the owner?

- Yes, I am, but I'm busy.

- We got a problem.

ROLF:

I've got a problem. You don't.

I was about to break

the putt-putt course record.

I got to the 18th hole

and you know that plastic porpoise?

ROLF:
Who cares?

- We had to change the course around.

Just play the 17th hole twice.

No way. The 18th hole is the good hole

in the course.

- That hole is under construction.

- Gus.

I'm gonna give you a free stuffed animal

of your choice and five free rounds if-

Isn't that him over there?

What are you talking about? That's Willy.

Willy?

GUS:

Here you go.

I'll add a little for your troubles.

I don't want the money, I want Willy.

Kirra to Grandpa. Over.

Yeah. Go for Grandpa.

We're at the harbor, waiting.

Where are you?

You either tell her to stay put...

...or I'm gonna sue you

for everything you're worth.

I'll see you in court.

Gus, I know you did this.

What a shame. How unfortunate.

We have to hurry. He's drying up.

Let's get going.

GUS:
Mansa, hurry up with that thing.

MANSA:
Almost got it.

Are you sure

this is where you saw the pod?

We checked the GPS.

These are the coordinates.

Sifiso, please let that down

very carefully.

Okay.

[WILLY WHISTLING AND CLICKING

ON RECORDING]

It's working. Okay, okay, it's working.

Kirra, don't worry.

They're gonna hear Willy,

and they're gonna come to the rescue.

- Don't let that go in the water.

- Grab it. Grab it.

Grab it.

Cut the engine.

Mansa, the tape played

for a little bit, right?

- A few seconds.

GUS:
Maybe that's all they need to hear him.

We'll sit tight.

What if they gave up looking?

- Kirra.

KIRRA:
And just left?

You're looking at the biggest cynic...

...but if I believe they're gonna come,

they're gonna come.

But just in case.

Show me what you got, girl.

[HORN BLOWING]

GUS:
You see anything?

SIFISO:
No, not yet.

MANSA:

Okay, put it on him.

SIFISO:
You need help?

- Sure.

I'll go keep looking.

Could you check his blowhole?

[WILLY WHEEZING]

It doesn't sound good.

[CRYING]

Grandpa.

- Maybe this was a bad idea.

- We're doing the right thing, Kirra.

What do we do?

Hope.

And I'm sorry.

I tried my best.

MANSA:
Should we just put him in the water?

GUS:
Not yet.

Let's not give up.

Keep that water coming.

We're gonna find his family.

Wahoo!

Look at that.

- Woo-hoo-hoo!

MANSA:
We found them.

- Willy.

GUS:
You see?

They're all over the place.

Oh, yeah.

Over there. Let's go.

SIFISO:

Willy, your pod's here.

[LAUGHING]

MANSA:

Look at how many there are.

And I told you they'd come.

MANSA:
Now to get him in the waters.

SIFISO:
I told you they were coming.

Aha. They're here, Willy.

Easy, big fella.

SIFISO:
Mansa, did you see that one?

- Yeah.

- Brought the entire family.

- Whoo! Goodbye, Willy.

SIFISO:
Goodbye, Willy.

GUS:
Go ahead, Mansa.

MANSA:

There. Got it, got it.

- There.

GUS:
Let it down.

Keep coming.

You're almost there.

Good job, Mansa. Good job.

- What do you think you're doing?

- I didn't get to say goodbye.

I'm not gonna let you jump

into a sea of wild orcas.

Look at the size of those things.

They don't eat people, though.

Oh, heh. Right.

If your dad knew

what I was about to let you do.

Go.

Hi.

I told you I'd get you back to your pod.

I'm gonna miss you so, so much.

[KIRRA CRYING]

I've gotta go.

Don't forget me.

Love you.

KIRRA:
Okay, come on.

You gotta do it in slow motion.

- I can't get it when you're going so fast.

SIFISO:
You have to get it before you leave.

Better move. Your dad's gonna kill me

if you miss your plane again.

- You try it.

- Oh, no, no, no.

You do not wanna see me dance.

Trust me.

[SPEAKING IN XHOSA]

And that means?

I'm thinking of the day you return

and I'm saying hello.

Hey, where's Engelbert?

He's so happy he has his lagoon back,

we haven't been able to get him out.

Bye, Engelbert.

Gotta go, gotta go. We're gonna be late.

Come on.

Let's go.

MANSA:
Travel safely.

- Thanks.

- See you, sheila.

KIRRA:
See you, bloke.

Guys, get the porpoise back

on the 18th hole.

- We got customers coming.

MANSA:
Yes, Gus.

SIFISO:

In a while, crocodile.

See you later, alligator.

Cool by the pool.

Make like a banana and split.

- Bye.

SIFISO:
Bye.

KIRRA:

See you.

Bye.

Bye.

Go.

Show him your stuff.

I told you I'm not much of a hugger.

Well, I'm not just

gonna shake your hand.

You're not getting

all sappy on me, are you?

You kind of choked me on the hug there.

Right.

You're a heck of a kid.

And you're a real piece of work.

You're right.

- Well, see you next summer?

- Count on it.

Good stuff.

- Safe travels.
