Rogue Page #5

Synopsis: An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile. Pete McKell, a cynical American travel writer, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. Initially Pete clashes with their tour captain, Kate, a feisty young woman who assumes he is just another 'city-slicker' in search of a quick thrill. After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a 'rogue' crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill. Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join

Righto.

OK, put that on.

It's getting higher.

This isn't gonna work, is it?

If it doesn't, we're gonna

have to make a dash for it.

So we'll stick together,

swim across as fast as we can.

OK.

I'm, er... I'm... I'm really sorry

about your husband.

I... I can't imagine

what it must be like to, er...

..to not have a chance to say goodbye.

I've been saying goodbye

for the past three and a half years.

We're getting ready to leave. Um...

I can't swim.

I'm not putting anyone else's life at risk.

We...

If I thought there was good reason -

a year, even - I would.

But there's not, so please

don't make this any harder than it is.

Put this on

or you will be putting a life at risk.

'Cause l... I'm not gonna

leave you here, OK?

And you...you got a really good kid there.

Come on, you f***.

Come on. I've got you.

I love you.

Crocs like the scent of dogs.

He should cross last.

OK.

Promise me you'll take care of him.

Promise.

Alright.

Kate?

- Do you still...

- Pete!

- Go. Go! Get 'em outta here.

- Oh, sh*t.

Come on, let's go! Let's go!

Come on, it's on!

- OK.

- Get 'em in, mate.

Yeah, right. You just get in there.

Don't worry about your mum.

And swim like hell!

Go. Get in there and go.

That's it. Go.

Go. Swim! Swim!

Don't worry. I've got you.

- Swim!

- Hurry! It's not gonna hold!

Kate, move it!

Come on! Hurry! Go!

- You're OK, Sherry. Go!

- That's it! Go!

Move!

Kate, you gotta move it!

It's not gonna hold!

Mum!

- Can you see Sherry?

- She's there.

Kate! Kate!

Kate, it's loose!

I don't know where it is. Swim! Swim!

Sherry!

Wait!

Go after them!

Head upriver. We'll meet you there. Go!

- OK.

- Go!

We'll catch up with you.

Get outta here. Go! Go!

Kate!

Kate! Kate!

Kate!

Kate.

Kate!

Kate!

Kate!

Kate.

Russell!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Oh, f***.

Arrgh!

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

What did you think of the tour?

I was thinking I'm probably gonna

spend a little more time at home.

Thanks.

Never smile at a crocodile

No, you can't get friendly

with a crocodile

Don't be taken in

by his welcome grin

He's imagining how well you'd fit

within his skin

Never smile at a crocodile

Never dip your hat

and stop to talk a while

Never run

Walk away

Say goodnight, not good day

Clear the aisle

and never smile at Mr Crocodile

You may very well be well-bred

Lots of etiquette in your head

But there's always

some special case

Time or place

To forget etiquette

For instance

If you meet a sad crocodile

Who looks sad and lonely and mild

He's just hungry

That you can bet

It's the time to forget etiquette

Be careful

Never smile at a crocodile

No, you can't get friendly

with a crocodile

Don't be taken in

by his welcome grin

He's imagining how well you'd fit

within his skin

Never smile at a crocodile

Never dip your hat

and stop to talk a while

Don't be rude

Never mock
