Free Willy Page #4

l love you, Willy.

They're ready inside.

Would you like to do some tricks?

Don't squirt me. Squirt everyone else.

Go squirt them, buddy.

Swimming tail, slap.

All right. Why don't we thank

the nice people for their applause.

Excuse yourself.

Thank them.

Good boy.

Thank you.

Wanna play ball?

Yeah, good boy.

Big barrel.

Good boy.

All right, boy.

Come on, Willy.

Go, Willy!

Go on back down!

Now come to me!

And that, gentlemen, is our show!

You did it!

You did it!

Did you see them?

You can do all that again?

What you and Rae want costs money.

l must be sure.

Do dogs pee on brick walls?

l mean, yes, sir.

Sure, we can do it again.

Anytime.

We'll set it up.

-We may be able to turn this around.

-lt'll cost to set up a show.

So what? We let the kid

work up a presentation. . .

. . .it catches on, and we're back on track,

just like we planned.

"The Willy Show. "

lt'll make money.

And that is what we are all about.

You'll have a whale of a time

Ladies and gentlemen. . .

. . .presenting the superstar orca

of Northwest Adventure Park. . .

. . .let's hear it for Willy!

This could be big.

This could be big.

And this is Willy's friend Jesse.

Jesse and Willy

have a special show for you.

Get them.

He's not into this.

Something's wrong.

Try something simple. l'll talk.

Willy is a 12-year-old orca.

He is 22 feet long and

weighs in at over 3.5 tons.

Come here, buddy.

So, guy. . . .

Come on, you know the signals.

Willy, this is important to us.

Please, Willy. Please. Don't blow it.

Come on, Willy.

l know you can do it.

All right? Now let's go, bud.

All right.

Get off the stage.

Shut up.

Hey, stop. Stop!

Like every great performer,

sometimes Willy gets stage fright.

He just wasn't ready.

No.

That wasn't your fault.

You didn't do anything.

l'll hold it and you kick it.

Jesse, it takes a lot of courage

to do what you did. . .

. . .to work with an animal

that's so big and strong.

Maybe that whale just

doesn't want to be a performer.

You gave it your best shot.

You worked hard, and you did

everything you could.

And we're very proud of you.

l'd be nervous too if l had to

do tricks in front of all those people.

What's up?

-Show wasn't--

-Screw the show and the Greenwoods.

-So now they're against you too?

-Like everything else.

l don't think you have

it so bad with the Greenwoods.

Then you live there!

l'm sick of this place!

l'm going to find my mom.

You mean you're

gonna hit the streets again?

-No, l'm going to find my mom.

-Right.

The state can't find her.

The federal government can't either.

l'll find her.

When are you going to get it?

She's not coming back.

Forgot the day she dropped you

on that doorstep?

Forgot about that? Well, l remember.

Turned around and drove away.

Didn't look around or slow down,

didn't look in the rear-view mirror.

That sound like

somebody's mama to you?

These two people want to be your friend.

That's more than your mother ever was.

And you could use a friend.

Because if you go off on your own. . .

. . .you'll end up losing bigtime.

You got that?

Shut up and leave me alone!

l feel sorry for Willy.

Me too.

You know. . .

. . .animals can be unpredictable. . .

. . .and they can misbehave sometimes. . .

. . .just like people.

But that doesn't mean

you have to lose faith in them.

Right?

Well. . .

. . .good night.

What do you want?

Get out of here.

Just go.

Now you want to mess around.

What happened today?

You choked, didn't you?

Quit it.

Better stop that.

Quit it!

See this?

See this? lt's going bye-bye,

and it's never coming back!

Don't you start that now.

l'm out of here.

Going to California.

Have a good life.

lt's your family.

Randolph! Randolph, wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

There's a hole in Willy's tank.

-They tried to kill Willy!

-Wade was with them?

Yeah, and they dropped this.

lt's part of the tank.

Dial's trying to collect the insurance.

Willy's worth a million dollars.

A million dollars?

Let's free him!

Let's free Willy! We could take him

to the bay and put him in the water.

l never liked this job anyway.

This is no accident.

Dial's trying to kill Willy.

So we're putting him back in the ocean.

-You two?

-And you.

And me?

Wait a minute.

He'll die if he's dry-docked too long.

The tank's beyond repair.

He's got family out there!

l heard them.

He's homesick.

That's why he acts so weird.

They tried to kill him!

Hand me that.

Did you call the police?

What good would that do? lf we

don't get Willy into water, he'll die.

Either get out of here

or go turn on the pump.

Come on, boy.

Come on, Willy. That's it.

Come on, boy.

Jesse, get out of there!

Come on, Willy. Now!

Please. We're gonna get you

out of here. Help us a little.

Attaboy, Jess.

Please, Willy. Please! Just cooperate.

Come forward.

lnto the net, boy.

Good boy.

Good boy, Willy.

Good boy.

lt's gonna be okay, Willy.

lt's gonna be all right.

That's good enough.

Come on up.

Bring him out a little more.

All right, come on.

Nice and slow.

Watch his pecs.

Come on, boy.

You're going to be okay, buddy.

How's he doing?

He's all right.

He's been moved before.

As long as he's wet, he'll be fine.

How are we going to pull him?

Hurry!

l'm hurrying!

-Go! Go! Go!

-l'm going!

License plate number

Hold on one second.

Jesse's not here. His things are gone.

Take care of Willy.

-Do we go straight to Dawsons Marina?

-Yeah.

lt's the only ocean access for miles.

Better stick to the back roads.

Jesse, this is Glen.

lf you're there, answer me.

This is Glen. Are you in the truck?

bAnswer me./b

bJesse, please. Answer us./b

bAre you there?/b

Okay, let's go.

You'll be okay, boy.

We won't let anything

happen to him. l promise.

What do you think?

Old Forest Road?

lt's the least conspicuous.

bNobody steals a whale./b

bThe whale is gone. The trailer's gone,/b

bthe forklift's been moved./b

bThe trainer and the Indian/b

bmust have done it./b

-This is a disaster.

b-Why?/b

Because we don't have theft insurance

on the whale, that's why!

Call Wilson. Tell him

to bring his crew down.

You see that?

Oh, no, what are we gonna do?
