Jurassic Park III Page #4

I just said it was,|because I wanted to get the S.U.V.

I am so sorry that you have to be here.

I'm not.

ALAN:
|There's a boat, right alongside the bank.

-Looks in good shape.|-A rescue boat?

No, no.

Just something left behind.

But it floats.

BILLY:
We stick to the plan.

Head for the coast.

You're not gonna look for Dr. Grant?

The coast was Alan's idea.|If he's alive, that's where he's headed.

PAUL:
I agree.

What about Eric?

Eric's a smart kid.

He probably knows|his best chance is by the coast.

He figures the big dinosaurs|are in the centre of the island.

Right?

Sure.

ERIC:
You know what this is?

ALAN:
It's a Raptor claw.|I used to have one.

A fossil.

Mine is new.

How much of the island did you explore?

I stayed pretty close to the compound.

I figured if anyone came looking for me,|that's where they'd start.

ALAN:
We need to get to the coast.|That was the plan.

ERIC:
Are you sure?

The closeryou get to water,|the bigger things get.

ALAN:
lf we can find our way|down into the canyon...

...we can follow that river out to the coast.

After we find your parents.

ERIC:
Then what?

-One step at a time.|-Listen.

What?

[Musical beeping]

That's my dad's satellite phone!

Wait a minute. How do you know?

[Sings]|"Kirby Paint and Tile Plus, in Westgate!"

Dad!

Muml

Muml Dadl

[Eric shouting in distance]

-Eric!|-Eric!

PAUL:
Eric! This way!

Mum! Dad!

Eric!

[Uplifting instrumental music]

Mum, Dad! Mum, Dad!

I knew it. My God.

PAUL:
I knew it.

Oh, God.

BILLY:
Boy, am I glad to see you.

Hey, you got my bag.

Yeah. Lucky strap.

Want me to carry it?

We need to find a gap here.

-How did you know we were here?|-The phone.

That stupid jingle from the store.|I heard it.

PAUL:
My phone?|ERIC: Your satellite phone.

-Where is it?|-I don't have it.

AMANDA:
When did you use it last?|PAUL: On the plane.

I got a call on the plane and....

-What?|-I loaned it to Nash.

He must have had it when he--

[Musical beeping]

Run.

[Roaring]

[Fast-paced, dramatic instrumental music]

[Pounding]

[Roaring]

Alan, you want to give me the bag back?

It's okay, I got it.

Please, give me the bag.

It's not safe.

[Unzipping sound]

ALAN:
Raptor eggs.

Did you steal Raptor eggs?

Now it all makes sense.

BILLY:
I swear, if I'd known|you were going to end up with them....

It was an impulse,|I thought they'd be worth a fortune.

Enough to fund the dig site|another 10 more years.

You have to believe me.

This was a stupid decision,|but I did it with the best intentions.

"With the best intentions."

Some of the worst things imaginable|have been done with the best intentions.

You know what, Billy?

As far as I'm concerned...

...you're no better than the people|that built this place.

What are you doing?|Those things are after us because of those.

Those things know we have the eggs.

If I drop them in the river,|they'll still be after us.

-What if they catch us with them?|-What if they catch us without them?

ALAN:
There's a boat at the bottom,|just downriver.

We can try and make it to the coast,|atleast.

[Suspenseful instrumental music]

[Grunting]

[Loud splash]

[Whistles]

-You okay?|-Yeah.

[Metal rattles]

Let's do this one at a time, shall we?

[Metal creaking]

[Gravel spilling]

Okay, come on over!

One at a time!

All right, Eric.

I'm going to leave you just for a minute.|And then you'll be right behind me, okay?

Mum!

I've been alone in a water truck|for eight weeks.

I think I can manage|the next two minutes without you.

Right, we're all together now.

[Metal creaking]

Okay, Eric.

PAUL:
Okay.|AMANDA: Come on, honey!

Over you go.

[Suspenseful drum music]

Mum?

Oh, my God.

AMANDA:
What is it?|ALAN: It's a birdcage.

For what?

[Metal rattling]

[Screaming]

Dadl

AMANDA:
Eric!

PAUL:
Eric!

Ericl

I can't see him!

Eric!

[Chattering]

No!

This way!

Billy? Billy!

Billy, stopl Don't, Billyl

Billyl

BILLY:
Eric, hold on!

Eric!

Jump!

Billy!

[Cawing]

[Ripping]

[Roaring]

Let go now!

[Fast-paced, dramatic instrumental music]

[Grunting]

AMANDA:
Eric!|PAUL: He's there.

Eric!

There he is! He's across the river!

Get him out of here!

ERIC:
No!|AMANDA: Go, Eric!

ERIC:
What about Billy?

Hang on, Billy!

PAUL:
Wait.

Get away!

[Motor starts]

There's plenty of gasoline.

Now we've just got to make our way|to the coast.

Work out some sort of a signal.

Build a fire or something.|Something they can see from the air.

ERIC:
Dr. Grant?

Hey, Eric, how are you doing?

I'm sorry about Billy.

You know what the last thing|I said to him was?

I said:

"You're as bad as the people|that built this place."

Which wasn't true.

Billy was just young. That's all.

I have a theory|that there are two kinds of boys.

There are those|who want to be astronomers...

...and those who want to be astronauts.

The astronomer, or the paleontologist...

...gets to study these amazing things|from a place of complete safety.

-But then you never get to go into space.|-Exactly.

It's the difference|between imagining and seeing.

To be able to touch them.

And that's all Billy wanted.

Dr. Grant.

You know something, Dr. Grant?

Billy was right.

[Roaring]

Listen.

[Satellite phone ringing musically]

[Ringing continues]

ALAN:
Find it before it stops!

AMANDA:
Eric, you stay on that boat.

[Ringing continues]

PAUL:
It's here. It's here.

God.

AMANDA:
I got it.

Hello? Hello?

VOICE ON PHONE:
|You too can own a timeshare...

...in beautiful Guadalajara.

Enjoy a meal in one|of our four-star restaurants.

Look out!

[Sniffing]

[Groaning]

[Thunder claps]

PAUL:
Turn off the power.

You've got juice for maybe one call.

Whateveryou do,|don't call the U.S. Embassy.

They won't do a damn thing.

ERIC:
Hey, guys, come here! Look at this!

-Bonitos.|-Something must have spooked them!

Get the engine going, Mr. Kirby.

PAUL:
Open the throttle!

[Dialling]

Pick up.

[Telephone ringing]

Hello?

Ellie?

Hello?

Charlie!

ALAN:
Charlie!|CHARLIE: Hello?

Charlie, take the phone to Mummy now!

ALAN:
Take the phone to Mummyl

It's the dinosaur man!

CHARLIE:
Okay.|ALAN: Listen to me, Charlie.

Charliel

Are you taking the phone to Mum?

Charliel

[Fast-paced, dramatic instrumental music]

BARNEY:

[Screaming]

BARNEY:

BARNEY:

ELLIE:

ELLIE:

ALAN:

[Telephone ringing]

Where's the phone?

PAUL:

ALAN:

Are you on a cell phone? I can't hear you.

The river! Site B!

The riverl

[Shouts] Hey!

[Roaring]

ERIC:
Dad! Dad!

AMANDA:

ERIC:

Paul, you jerk!

You can't leave me like this!

I'm not going anywhere!

[Sobbing]

Remember when we went fishing|a couple of summers ago?

I was putting the boat in the water|and the trailer sank?

The tow truck tried to pull us out|and it got dragged in, too.
