Harry and the Hendersons Page #7

Synopsis: Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this..). As you guessed, "it" isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant. In their attempts to keep Harry a secret, the Henderson's have to hide him from the authorities and a man, who has made it his goal in life, to catch a "bigfoot".

where you belong now.

Come on, now.

It's LaFleur!

Harry, you've gotta go!

LaFleur!

Hurry, please, please!

There's no time!

No, don't worry about us!

We'll be all right.

Get out of here!

Can't you see

we don't want you anymore?

Why can't you go back

where you came from?

Now, leave us alone!

Go.

Go!

(WHIMPERING)

Goodbye, my friend.

There's no need to cry.

We'll never see him again, will we?

Sure we will! We can just

follow his footprints.

Footprints.

(WHISPERING) Scatter.

Anything to throw him off!

It's a goddamn herd!

(GROWLING)

Oh, no!

Harry!

Good God! Harry, no!

(PANTING)

Listen to me. You're wrong!

I was like you!

I almost killed him myself!

But it would have been murder!

He's not an animal!

He's our friend!

For God's sake, Jacques,

open your eyes!

Are you people out of your minds?

Do you think I'm going to stop now?

I'm going to kill him.

You're not gonna kill him!

You're not gonna hurt him!

I won't let you!

George!

George!

I'll kill you first!

Don't let him kill me!

Don't let him kill me!

Please, don't let him kill me!

Don't let him kill me! Please,

don't, don't let him kill me.

I'm...

No, no...

Jacques LaFleur, meet Harry.

Harry Henderson.

Strange feeling, eh, Doc?

WRIGHTWOOD:

What are you talking about?

LAFLEUR:
It's over.

Over?

Why, it's just the beginning.

Jocko, this old ticker hasn't

thumped like this for years.

It's like going to heaven with

your feet still on the ground.

And we get to share it with

one of our oldest friends.

(LAUGHING)

Goodbye, Harry.

We gotta let him go.

GEORGE:
Harry...

I never got a chance to thank you.

I don't think you'll ever know

how much you've meant to us.

You take care of

yourself now, okay?

Okay.

Mon dieu!

They have a language?

Now, Jocko, what for you?

I don't know.

There's always Loch Ness.
