Piranha Page #3

Synopsis: Lake Victoria's annual Spring party by 50,000 young revelers is about to turn into a feeding frenzy with prehistoric hunger-pains. With knee-trembler's above the waves and tremors below, released from their dormant sleep, thousands upon thousands of flesh-eating nippers are released into the lake with whetted appetites and razor-sharp teeth. With a motley crew of strangers thrown together to defend these shores, it is now up to them to prevent the largest eat-out in human, and piranha, history.

It's unbelievable.

Okay guys you are about 90 feet to the

entrance of the connecting passage.

Looks like single file time!

I'll go first.

No! I should do the prelim scout.

Your fat ass will get us stuck.

Baby! I'm like an eel.

I'm electric eel.

I get into such tight spaces.

It's shocking.

Huh! That's weird?

Here they are... but they're spiltting up.

Guys?

Everything alright? I'm losing you a little bit here.

I'm heading a serious drop in temperature here.

It's at least 30 degrees colder.

You're probably at the mountain near the water lake.

Do you have any visual?

I'm entering the cave.

Jesus!

This thing seems endless.

You gotta see this.

This is incredible.

Sam! What are you seeing down there?

Something bit me!

Oh yeah, right! I thought you always love that kinda stuff.

Sam! Sam!

Sam! Answer me!

SAM!

Sam!

Something's happening.

What? You mean aftershock?

- I don't know...

Give me my flippers.

OH MY GOD!

Your body is a temple.

And now it is time to give thanks to the gods.

Andrew, roll camera!

Kelly, you're up! C'mon!

Me! No! no, no...

No, thanks. I think very had to drink too much.

Please! You don't want to worship this beautiful altar?!

- C'mon...

I know you're partial to the champagne,

but believe us you can trust Crystal right?

Hey! C'mon Derrick, she... she said no.

No...

She said no thanks...

There's a difference...

She understands gratitude is the right attitude.

Kelly!

Trust us!

It... It's never cheating if it's with another chick!

Yeah! C'mon try it!

- C'mon.

Sure!

Have fun!

Yeah! Jake! You're not gonna take away the fun now?

Like I said... she's not my girlfriend.

Fine! I'll do it.

Okay!

The store is closed!

I want to know what the hell

this thing is doing in my lake!

Where did you get this?

Oh! In the middle of the lake.

Where they're two people dead!

Oh my...

Oh my! Yeah! That's right...

Oh my, oh my.

Excuse me!

But!

Is that a f***ing Piranha?

Carl! Not the only one.

Yeah! here, here, here, look at these...

There are thousands of them.

Thousands! And they're pissed.

You know I have heard of these happening.

It's like those alligators in New Jersey,

Someone leaves them and then they breed!

What?

- No...!

Who release this fish into the lake...

What are you talking about?

THIS!

Particular piranha,

Vanished! Off the face of the earth!

More than two million years ago!

Emm... Where's he going?

Allow me...

to introduce...

The "Pygocentrus Nattereri"

The regional Piranha!

They used to swim the entire Colorado river.

Right until the Piscusus epic .

I still don't understand how you found one.

Alive!

We discovered a subterreanean lake through a rift,

caused by the quake.

- But!

How could it survived for so long,

cut out from the surface?

Cannibalism.

They must have fought each other to survive.

Look!

All those scars, on her scales.

Notice! The eyes.

Jesus. Like he's staring back at you.

No, no, no! Not staring...

sensing!

God! Don't do that!

Piranhas hunt in packs.

Not for protection!

But overwhelming force.

They're organized, methodical...

The first bite draws blood,

more blood draws the pack!

So how are we going to stop them?

Wait. I'm sorry, you're not actually

consider going back out onto the lake?

They are killing machines but they're still fish.

You can catch them

or kill them!

If there really are thousands...

Ya?

Yesterday would have been a good time to start.

Oh Sh*t!

It's my little brother and sister!

Are they waving for help?

I don't know. They are supposed to be at home right now.

I'm supposed to be home right now!

Jake, jake, jake.

What are you doing?! You're gonna miss my money shot!

Okay. It's my family! Alright!

They could be in trouble!

You are gonna be the one in trouble,

if I don't get my flying catars right now!

What the hell's wrong with you man?

What's wrong with me?

Oh, God dammit! You're missing it.

You're missing it...

You're missing the shot!

No, no, no...

Wow! You missed it! What is wrong with you?

Listen! They are stranded out there okay!

They might need my help.

Boobies, boobies...

Alright!

Listen to me.

My mom is the Sheriff.

Alright! Let's...

swing by the island!

Throw the minerals in the boat!

It'll be great!

It'll be fun.

Take me up!

Help me!

Take me up!

What the hell is goin on?

Weapons of mass offensive right over here!

Let's see those dance.

Alright girls!

Shake those booties!

Shake those Hoolas!

Willy Wonka and those chocolate factory!

Yes, I need the National Guard...

I need the Coast Guard.

I need all the forces in your power to deploy!

Everybody back to the beach!

Move back to the dock! Everybody!

Move back!

Don't talk about Satan. Just take your boat back.

No more talk about Satan.

Please!

F*** them!

What the f***?

This is the Lake Victoria sheriff's department.

The Sheriff has declared an emergency.

Don't worry, we got beer over here!

Geronimo!

Hi! Get on out over there.

I need you out of the water now!

Yeah!

I don't know.

We're so busted.

- No!

He is.

I didn't even catch any fish!

Slow down.

Slow down!

Okay! I know what I'm doing... alright!

Careful! It's not that deep!

We're busted.

Okay Jake! I'm not taking the fall for this.

It was all Zane's idea.

I paid you $60 bucks to stay home.

What do you mean!

How bout 40 we're call it even.

How bout you get on this boat and we go home!

End of story!

Just get on the boat!

Woah, woah, woah!

- We should've been at Canyon Beach

an hour ago for the mother f***ing main event!

C'mon!

- Alright! Go ahead! Speedo!

Be careful getting outta here!

the rocks sometimes circulate the engine!

Wow! The water is just so clear.
