The Lost World Page #3

- We'll try to get your helicopter back to you...

just as quickly as possible.

- Coming, David; Shall we pack;

- Uh- Uh- Wait a minute.

- Yes, Professor;

- ''Yes, Professor.'' These women.

- What do you say, Summerlee;

- Well, unfortunately, we have no choice.

- Gomez;

- Dangerous.

- Roxton.

- I'd say we'd be crazy to take any woman along.

-johnny.

- But knowing this one,

I'm afraid we're stuck.

- Thank you,johnny.

- Malone.

I say no.

It's much too risky.

Please don't be alarmed, Mr. Malone.

If things get too risky for you,

well, I'll just hold your hand.

Come on, David.

- Oh, uh, thanks, Professor. I know it'll be fun.

- Fun;

At the risk of all our lives;

We're on the verge

of positively confirming...

one of the world's greatest discoveries,

and you call it fun!

I'm sorry, Professor.

And dogs too!

You know, you'd better turn in too.

We're making an early start in the morning.

Yeah, I will in a minute.

Good night,jenny.

Oh, uh, thanks again

for voting me in.

Oh, I didn't.

I was neutral, remember;

Meaning you didn't want me along;

Meaning a woman's place,

my love, is in the home.

Whose home;

- Well, I-

- You know something,johnny;

You could do worse than marry me.

I think I'm one of the few girls

in the world that could put up with you.

- Thanks for the offer.

- I take it that's a polite refusal.

Well, no, but-

Jnny, I never commit myself

at 22 minutes past 1 1 :00.

You're ridiculous.

- You're beautiful.

Or maybe it's the moonlight.

One of these days.

- Good evening.

- Good night.

Oh, Roxton.

- Hello.

Something wrong;

That girl shouldn't be on this trip.

I agree- probably not

for the same reason.

Then why didn't you back me up;

You have no right to let a girl risk her life

just so she can prove she's as daring as a man.

- That why you think she's here;

- She said so herself.

Malone, you don't know

very much about the female of the species.

- Oh;

- If you must know...

Jnnifer's here for two

completely unrelated reasons.

First, she is daring.

She's as brave as a lioness.

But second, and more importantly,

she wants to marry a title- specifically mine.

- That's very modest of you, Lord Roxton.

- It's true.

She tried to bring it off

for the last two years in London.

She's wonderful, but, uh, I'm not

in the marrying mood at the moment.

Oh, she's not quite

good enough for you, huh;

Let's say I know her

well enough to realize...

thatjennifer doesn't love me,

but she does love what I represent.

I don't believe a word of it.

- That's just because you're

interested in her yourself.

- I-

There's no need to deny it.

I knew it the first day we met.

But forget it. We've got much more

important things to worry about now...

like getting an early start

in the morning.

- Good night, Malone.

- Uh, Roxton.

Yes;

Lipstick.

That means nothing- to me.

Good night.

Good night.

Beautiful night, isn't it;

Where will we be tomorrow night;

Well, Professor Challenger

keeps his own counsel.

I have to fly wherever he directs.

Even into Curupuri land;

Even there.

What is Curupuri, Gomez;

Have you ever met

an Indian who'd seen it;

No Indian who's seen it

ever lived to tell.

It's always bumpy like this;

Usually.

Sit down back there.

That's an order.

The professor does not

seem to like you, Senor David.

He doesn't make it easy

for me to like him.

The bumpiness

makes my stomach feel funny.

Gomez.

- Gomez.

- Huh;

Hold it right there.

It isn't much further.

As you say, Professor.

Land ho!

Land ho;

- Are we there;

- Are we there;

This is the greatest moment

of your lives.

There it is, directly ahead.

You know, not too long ago,

I was at the base of that plateau.

High overhead, walking along

the cliff edge, was a live dinosaur.

Dinosaur.

I couldn't have been mistaken.

In any case, we'll soon know...

either way.

There is the plateau!

Doesn't look very big to me.

A body ofland...

uplifted by volcanic eruption

a hundred million years ago-

cut off from the march of time

by the unscalable nature of its cliffs.

A land where monsters live!

George Edward Challenger's Lost World!

I claim the honor

to be the first to set foot here.

- Unless-

- It's your plateau, Professor.

- I thank you!

- Wait, Professor.

- Oh, you don't mind, do you;

A great moment in history.

A picture of Challenger and his Lost World

might be in order, I think.

Have you got your camera, Malone;

It's right here, Professor.

You're so right about a picture.

- Reporters.

- There's only about one more hour of daylight left.

We'll camp over there.

Let's unload what we need for tonight.

- You two keep your rifles handy.

- You sure he knows how to use one;

Give me a hand, Gomez, will you;

All right.

- Sure you brought us

to the right plateau, Professor;

- Hmm;

Not a dinosaur in sight.

- Bah!

- What; What;

Whatever it is,

it's coming this way.

- Now get back- all of you!

- Come on! This way!

- Back, under the trees!

- This way, Professor!

Come on, Professor. Hurry!

- Run!

- I can't run faster.

Johnny!

Gomez, use your machete!

Johnny!

johnny.!

Malone, Gomez, pull it off!.

- Are you all right;

Get her out!

Go ahead, Professor.

What a plant.

Careful, Summerlee.

We rest here.

- Are you all right;

- Yeah.

Well, you disbeliever, you.

Summerlee, did you ever

see such a plant;

I didn't see anything.

- What;

Whatever it was,

it fell over the cliff.

- No. It's moving again.

- In another direction.

- Well, we've got to find out what it is.

- Not in the dark we don't.

- What could it have been;

Well, hazarding a guess,

I would say we've just been visited...

by a fully grown specimen of

Jrassic dinosaur of the order Sauropoda.

In other words, a brontosaurus.

- You, sir, are insane.

- And you, sir, are a lunatic.

- Quiet! Listen!

- No, please! Please! I will not stay here!

- You fool. Come back!

- Costa!

- Costa!

- Costa! The precipice! Costa!

- Now stop it!

Have you gone crazy or something;

Shut up now.

He went crazy for a moment.

He's all right now.

But something else is not, huh;

Oh, no. The helicopter's wrecked.

We've been running in circles.

We're back to the camp.

My helicopter.

The dinosaur, whatever it was,

whatever we heard...

smashed it and pushed it

over the hill.

Gone, somewhere far below.

And our radio's gone with it.

That's the last of my wire stories.

The end of outside contact.

The end of us.

Now wait there.

Malone, come with me.

Prehistoric vegetables, Summerlee.

At least we'll have breakfast.

Uh, I couldn't stand

the thought of it.

You're very difficult

to please, Summerlee.

Difficult I may be, but I cannot

understand why we're going inland.

Here we are on top of

an unscalable plateau...

our only means of flight

smashed and beyond reach.

Why we're not searching for another

avenue of escape completely eludes me.

- It eludes me too, senor.

- So much eludes you, Summerlee...

such as the fact that we actually heard
