Piranha 3D 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.

Where did you catch this?

In the middle of the lake.

Where there are 2 people dead!

- Oh my!God!

"Oh my" yeah that's right

Excuse me, but is that a f***ing Piranha?

And it's not the only one.

- There are thousands.

Thousands! And they're pissed!

I heard about these things happening.

It's like those baby alligators in New Jersey, someone leaves them ...

... and then they bread.

- What?

Who released these fish into the lake?

What are you talking about?

This particular of piranha

vanished from the face of the earth

more than two million years ago!

Where's he going?

Allow me... to introduce...

The Pygocentrus. The original piranha

They used to swim the Colorado River

Right up until the Ice Age.

I don't understand how you found one... alive?

We discovered a subterannean lake,

through a rift created by the quake

How could it have survived so long, cut off from the surface?

Cannibalism.

They must have fought each other to survive.

See.

Scars.

See the eyes.

Jesus. It's like they're staring abck at you

No, no, no. Not staring. Sensing.

God! Dont do that.

Piranhas hunt in packs.

Not for protection, but for overwhelming force.

They're organised, methodical

The first bite draws the blood, the blood draws the pack

How do I stop them?

Sorry, you're not actually thinking about

going back out onto the lake?

They are killing machines but they are still fish.

You can catch them or kill them.

But if there really are thousands ...

-Yes?

Yesterday would have been a good time to start.

Sh*t.

My little brother and sister.

Are they waving for help?

I don't know. They should be home. I should be home.

Jake, what are you doing? You're gonna miss my money shot

It's my familly alright! They could be in trouble

You'll be in trouble if you don't get

my flying cacas right now!

What the hell is wrong with you man?

What's wrong with me?

Oh Godamit, your missing it, your missing it, your missing it.

Oh you missed it! What is wrong with you?

Listen, they're stranded out there.

They might need my help

Listen to me. My mum is sheriff.

OK. Let's swing by the island. Throw the minnows in the boat.

It'll be fun.

Get me up!

Get me up!

What's going on?

Alright Lake Victoria, are you ready for some titties?!

Look at those weapons of masturbation!

Change!

Yes, we need the National Guard ...

...We need the Coast Guard! I need all the

forces you have the power to deploy!

Everybody back to the beach!

Everybody back!

Read the Bible.

Don't talk about faith. Take the boat.

No more talk about faith

What the hell?

This is the Lake Victoria Sherrifs Department,

The Sherrif has declared an emergency.

Don't worry, we've got beer over here!

Cannonball!

I need you out of the water, now!

Jake? Why is he here?

I don't know.

We are so busted.

- No, he is.

I didn't even catch a fish!

Slow down.

OK, Jake,I'm not taking the fall for this. It was all Zanes idea

I paid you $60 to stay home. What do you mean.

I'll give you 40 and we are quits.

How about you get on a boat, go home and end of story.

Just get on the boat.

We should've been on the beach an hour ago

for the muthafucking main event.

Let's go!

Be careful pulling away from here. The rocks

can strip away the engine

Why don't you go and get some rest. Take Zane and Laura

with you, I don't want them anywhere near them.

The water is so clear.

What kind of fish was that?

I don't know.

I'm gonna make them take us home right now, ok?

What is that?

What happened?

Are you okay?

I think we hit something.

Andrew! Andrew, what the hell is going on?

I don't know. We're stuck on something.

Well, fix it Godamit

There are rocks everywhere.

- Yeah, they're down here.

What happened?

I think there's something caught on the prop

Stay here.

Crystal, get the sand rat up here

I said get the f***ing sand rat up here! What's wrong with you?

Why can't you go get him yourself?

I'm just down here thinking how this whole f***ed up day is your fault.

You wont help us with the new b*tch, you don't do a f***ing

thing I tell you and you take us way the f*** of course!

I get it, you're new at this. I'm cool with that...

but what you're doing ...

what this is ...

there's a word for it ...

It's a boat word, er what is it?

Mutiny! Is that what this is? Is it a mutiny

Relax Derek, ok? It's just getting a little wild

If anyone should be down there helping, it oughta be you!

Let me do that. Let me do that!

Let me do it!

This is an emergency. I need everyone out of the water now!

Get out of water now! This is an emergency!

Get out of the water now!

Come on! Come on!

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Throw me a gun!

- It's fully loaded

Swim to the beach! Get out of water!

Get out of water!

Come on!

Todd, what are you doing?

Get the f*** out of the way!

You're gonna kill the engine.

Zane, Laura, hold on to something and get back from the glass.

Come on!

Come on!

Yes, yes!

Holy sh*t!

Let's go!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

- Yes.

Where is Kelly?

- It is on the other side.

There.

Kelly! Kelly!

Jake!

Get out of the water!

I cant find a way to you. Get out through the skylite

Jake!

Let's go. I don't want you to see this.

They took my penis! They took my penis.

Jake hurry up, the water's getting higher

Jake!

Kelly!

Hurry up!

Chew on this muthafuckers!

Everybody out!

All ashore!

Everybody out!

No! No!

Hold this.

[phone ringing]

This is Sheriff Forester.

Mum?

- Jake.

I'm sorry, I screwed up. We're on the lake.

What?

Where are Laura and Zane?

They're with me on the boat.

Oh my God, Jake.

Whatever you do, do not enter the water!

You don't understand, Mum. Our boat is sinking.

Where are you?

What are you doing?

I'm coming with you.

Let's go.

That's mum.

Mum! Hey!

How are we gonna get the boat close?

- I don't know.

The rope. Do you think it will reach?

Jake, I'm gonna throw you the rope.

I want you to tie it to the highest railing

Okay, Mum.

Tied?

- Yes.

Back up a bit.

Watch out for rocks.

Watch out!

Ready?

- Yes.

Yes.

Keep it tight. I've got my radio

Hold on.

Mum, are you okay?

Is this everybody on the boat?

No, Kelly is stuck down in the cabin.

We can't get her out.

We can't get her out.

- Kelly?

God! Kelly?

Can you reach my arm?

Help me get out of here. Water is getting higher!

- Can you reach the skylite?

It doesn't matter. It's f***ing stuck!

Jake!

I'm scared!

Please help!

Mum, hurry!

- Kelly?

- Were gonna die.

We are not gonna die, OK?

I need your help! Please!

The only way to reach it under the ship.

All of the rope.

What are you talking about? We can't leave her there.

When we all go over the rope, I'll come back for her.

I'm not leaving without her mum!

Jesus, Jake! The only way to get to her is for you to get into the water

I'm not gonna let you do that!

The reason she got on this boat was coz of me

This is my fault.
