The Land That Time Forgot Page #2

---

Just calm down, Lindsey.

You stay here,

and don't you run away!

... ... first place. She's probably

drifting on the anchor somewhere--

Let's save our lives first.

[ CHATTERING ]

Take that,

hold that, that's it.

-OK--

You and Lindsey stay put.

The Captain and I will head-in

and find the thing that took Stacks.

No, no, no, we're sticking together.

We don't know what's out there, OK,

I don't want Lindsey to get hurt.

- You alright?

- Yeah...

What if you don't come back?

- We will.

I want you to gather together

anything you can that'll burn.

We're gonna need a fire

when it gets dark.

I'm not spending

the night in this place.

Lindsey, you remember

when we were on that cross-country

skiing trip

and I broke my ankle?

You took my weight

and got me down the mountain?

Yeah, you

blacked-out for a moment.

We're back on

that mountain, Linds.

OK.

I'll be back.

I could use some help here.

Frost...

I'm sorry about what I said.

- What?

- About all this being your fault.

It's not all your fault.

I mean it's mostly your fault.

That barometer wasn't broken.

What?

That barometer on the boat,

it wasn't malfunctioning.

Frost, I really need

you to pull it together here.

That thing that took Stack;

it lived during the period of this

planet's history

that had a much

higher level of oxygen.

High enough to support

animals of that size.

And bigger--

[ LOW GROWL ]

Cole, that's Tyrannosaurus.

[ LOUD ROAR ]

Frost, I want to go home.

We gonna need

a lot more firewood.

- What do you think?

- Why don't we just...go around?

How long you known Frost?

- I don't know...15 years?

- Oh, you guys are old buddies.

We work together.

Nice to know...

Well, if we get back...

you know...

to Key West...

Maybe you guys

could come-up with...

a little more money?

Good luck.

[ CHUCKLES ]

Take it

Fill it just over there.

Cole!

Cole, check this out!

Cole!

Check it out!

[ LAUGHING ]

Check it out, oh,

that was amazing.

That thing could carry me away.

That was funny.

You better...ah,

we better...get back before dark.

Got it.

-OK.

Hey, hey Cole, look,

the coast is clear!

Got fresh meat.

Ah...look...ah...

I think you should go.

-Yeah, let's go

-Go on, go, yeah, go on--

I'll watch, go!

Hurry! Hurry!

Get a big piece.

Oh, my God.

ew--

[ LOUD ROAR ]

Let's get out of here!

Come on, Captain!

[ LOUD ROAR ]

Oh, sh*t!

[ LOUD ROAR ]

[ INDISTINGUISHABLE EXCLAMATIONS ]

Get down, Get down.

[ CRIES, EXCLAMATIONS, ROARS ]

- What?

- Where did it go?

Maybe its hiding.

Wait. No. No. No, wait.

Maybe it's hiding out there.

No, no, come on.

We can't stay here.

Why would it just leave?

[ LAUGHS ]

- Oh, my God.

- Too bad it didn't stick around--

- What is this place?

Where are we?

[ BIRDS AND CRICKETS ]

So what's the plan, boss?

Well, we can just

take turns keeping the fire lit.

And in the morning,

hopefully we

find Karen.

I'm so hungry...

I could eat dinosaur.

[ FORCED LAUGH ]

I don't think

I'm gonna sleep much in this place.

[ HE SIGHS ]

Don't worry,

we're gonna find Karen.

I hope so.

I am so glad...

I am so... I am so glad

to be back in my bed.

[ FIRE CRACKLING ]

[ DREAM-LIKE MUSIC... ]

Aahh!

[ THUDS ]

No bacon and eggs, but...

...I'm so hungry

could eat a horse

and save the jockey.

Who are you?

Huh? Oh, sorry,

Mr. Sleepyhead.

Guess you

missed the introductions.

I'm Jude.

Jude Jackson.

This here is Joe.

Not much of a conversationalist, but...

...excellent listener.

Where the hell are we?

That's the 64 dollar question.

When you

drop down the rabbit hole,

if you know what I mean....

No place I ever heard of.

Not even in flight school.

How long you been here?

1 year, 2 months and 11 days.

Who's counting, right?

Thank you.

I'll tell you too, it's...

... no easy task

to survive around here.

Making it

through the day without becoming

someone's lunch is like...

...ah...having a date

with the Andrews Sisters,

you know what I mean?

[ LAUGHING ]

That's a good one!

We don't get

too many feminine types

around here.

There was one...

...showed up

about the time I got here but...

...she didn't last long.

You must

be the group that came in

on the boat, right?

- The boat?

- You've seen the boat?

Yeah, a boat's

kinda like an Easter Egg at an orphanage

around here.

Where?

It's a little sticky.

I don't care how 'sticky' it is,

my wife's on that boat;

I need to find it now.

Just gettin'

to that boat is going to take

everything you can muster.

I'll lead you right to it,

can't promise

it's still there, though.

Can you go back?

That's a whole 'nother ball game.

Mind if I have

another one of those?

Let's go.

You know?

It's called 'survival of the fittest.'

I can't believe

you guys didn't bring any

firepower at all.

You show-up with knives?

We weren't--

We weren't fighting a war.

You can say that again!

This is where

I dropped into our little

island paradise.

Broke an arm in the process.

Hung up there

like a Christmas ornament

before anyone found me.

That's where I met Joe.

[ JUNGLE BIRD CALLING ]

Everything in here

we collected from somewhere

on the island.

Kind of...

a little museum we

put together.

Sh*t!

Oh, this is Conrad.

Conrad...everybody.

Hi!

- When are you from?

- What? I'm from Manhattan.

- What year?

- Yeah! I thought he was crazy too.

He may be, and me with him.

Conrad was skipper on a vessel called the "Connemora"

You were on board the Connemora?

Damn fine vessel.

Ah, she was recovered in 1955.

He's been here for 54 years?

10 years, 311 days.

Hey, hey, smell that?

Smell that?

- Is that petrol?

- Bubbles-up right out of the ground.

Conrad knows this place

better than I ever will.

You'll guide us across?

Great. How far are

we going to get with some

crazy old man?

Hey, hey, hey...

may not be as crazy

as you think.

So Jude, where'd you

get the row boat?

Just like everything else,

washed-up on the beach.

Don't know what happened

to the people in it.

You know, if you got

a boat, why don't you just use it

to leave the island?

Making it past

the breakers in something that small

is impossible.

Believe me, I tried,

I almost became a snack

for those big

sons-a-b*tches that live

out in the deep.

Well, wait a minute,

what, what?

There she is.

There is something

that bothers me.

What kind of plane

was it that you said you

bailed out of?

TBM Avenger,

Flight 19.

Did you know that

Flight 19 and that whole squadron

disappeared in 1945?

Yeah, 2 weeks

before my 26th birthday.

We had a

hell of a party planned for when we

got back to base too.

Wait a second.

OK, you were on

Flight 19 and your friend was on

the Connemora?

Affirmative.

What?

We were traveling

through what I always thought

was a fictional zone.

It's known as the Devil's Triangle.

Wait, we went through

the Bermuda Triangle?

I thought they disproved that.

I thought it was like methane gas

or something.
