Lake Placid 3 Page #6

---

Those were crocodiles.

l've read enough about crocodiles

to know they don't stop killing food

just because they're full.

They also don't travel very far

if they don't have to. She's nearby.

Whatever you do, do not start screaming

like you did the last time.

She's my girlfriend!

lf you had any kind of normal relationships,

you'd understand.

Normal?

Jonas and l chase

after a killer crocodile for you,

practically playing 20 questions

trying to figure out what would drive you

to follow Ellie in here to begin with.

And may l point out that we didn't

even know the damsel's name

until you start screaming it

at the top of your lungs,

attracting that monster that came out

of the woods and bit off Jonas' head.

And how the hell do you know

l don't have any normal relationships, huh?

l know all about you.

All about your boo-hooing about Miss Ellie,

but did you ask me one question,

one question about me and my life?

Okay!

Do you have a boyfriend?

No. No, l don't have a boyfriend, dumbass.

That was hypothetical.

Now that you know all about me,

Iet's get in the boat and go someplace safe.

No, l won't.

-Really?

-Not without Ellie.

Fine, we'll see how you like being dragged.

-Johnny Law.

-Nathan, actually.

l would have introduced myself last time,

but when l asked for your hunter's license

you spit tobacco juice on my shoes.

Yeah? l'm a shy girl.

You know, you got a bit of an infestation

of a very unusual variety out there.

Yeah, it looks like they got you pretty bad.

There were four of us. And the other two

didn't fare as well.

But the crocs didn't shoot me.

-That one did.

-l already said l was sorry.

Thanks for taking us in,

but we need to get back out there.

-l'm Brett, by the way.

-Nathan.

Hey. Susan. This is Connor.

Why would you wanna go back outside?

Are you crazy?

Because my girlfriend's out there

on the lake.

We were looking for her

when Reba decided to come here instead.

lt's better off behind a closed door

than running around in the dark.

Exactly why we need to get back on the boat

and find Ellie.

We've been trapped in here for hours

and there's the very real possibility

that help isn't coming.

Now, we can't let you take

our only means of transportation

and go and get yourself killed.

Especially when that only means

of transportation belongs to me.

We get back in the boat. We find Ellie,

and then we get the hell away from here.

Ellie's on the lake.

Now we need to get to safety.

That's connecting to the river

and going down to town.

Those are opposite directions.

No! This isn't up for debate.

We're not leaving her.

We don't even know where she is.

Now my wife and my son are right here

and l can't risk their lives

based on the chance or the possibility

that she might be out there.

Sensible conversation

didn't get me very far with her.

l'm sorry to have to do this.

l already shot someone today.

l don't mind doing it again.

Get away from the door.

Now's a fine time to grow yourself a pair.

l will come back for you, promise.

Just as soon as l find her.

Ellie!

Ellie!

Brett?

Ellie!

Ellie!

Brett!

Ellie!

Brett!

Be back sooner than l thought.

Brett! Brett!

l'm coming back!

Brett, l'm here!

Ellie!

l'm here, baby. l'm here.

l knew. l knew. Brett!

Connor, get in the bathroom

and lock the door. Go!

Brett!

No, no.

Oh, my God. l knew. l knew.

Move away from the water!

What?

Get away from the water!

Get away from the water!

Ellie!

Oh, my God!

What is that?

-l'm so sorry.

-Hey...

Hey, hey. No. You don't need to apologize.

-l'm sorry for going with him. With Aaron.

-Don't apologize. Don't.

No. No, don't apologize.

-l love you. l love you.

-l love you.

Ellie, go. Go now. Go! Run! Now!

Oh, my God. What is... What is that?

Oh, my God!

Nicely done.

Let's get the hell out of here, now.

That's okay.

l can always come back for the head later.

Connor, stay close.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

-Help me. It killed... It killed him.

-Who? Who?

-Brett?

-Brett.

-Get us in the boat, now!

-Right. Go! Go! Connor, come.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

Keep trying.

Okay, plan B.

Here we go.

Yeah, l think we're safe.

What is that?

Go. Go. Go. Come on. Go.

Got her?

-Hello!

-Hello!

Come on!

Over there.

What makes you think Dimitri's

not gonna have locked his doors?

What now?

After you.

-Okay, let's put her down.

-l'll call for help.

All right.

-Does anybody have a quarter?

-No. No.

-lt's 911, you don't need any money.

-Okay, okay.

No, no, no, no, no. It's going to be okay.

We're gonna get out of here.

What about Connor? This is all my fault.

l should have been there for him.

This is my fault.

lt's you. Little Bickerman! Don't you...

Oh, my God! Run. Go, go, go!

Help! Help! Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Connor! Susan! Backdoor's open. Go!

No keys.

-Don't you know how to hot-wire?

-l'm a zoologist.

-Connor!

-Connor?

Keys.

This is the one and only time

you're allowed to steal something.

Connor. Go.

-Are we 07 or 08?

-07!

Connor!

Dad! Lighter!

-Nate! Nate!

-No. Dad!

l would like to present to you today

an absolutely extraordinary case,

and proof that we are not in control.

We're not in control of our jobs,

we're not in control of our children

and we are certainly not in control

of this planet.

There are no hard and fast rules in nature.

There's no way to create a system

by which we can catalog and analyze

and predict where an animal is gonna go

or what an animal is gonna do.

Having said all that,

l would like to now regale you

with the story of a most unique species,

the Maine River Crocodile.

For the record, it's extinct.

Come along.

So, did you guys have time

to read the pamphlets? Anyone?
