Jurassic Park III Page #4

Synopsis: Dr. Alan Grant is now a happy man with the previous incidents of Jurassic Park now behind him. Grant is that happy that he announce in public, that nothing on Earth can persuade him back onto the islands. Maybe nothing, except Paul Kirby. Kirby and his wife, Amanda want a plane to fly them over Isla Sorna, with Dr. Grant as their guide. But not everything Kirby says is true. When the plane lands, Dr. Grant realizes that there is another reason why they are there, that he doesn't know of. Now, Dr. Grant is stuck on an island he has never been on before, with what was a plane journey now turned into a search party.

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

[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.
