The Valley of Gwangi Page #3

Come on, come on!

- Hey, Tuck!

- Tuck, what's the hurry?

Lope, come here.

We are in luck, chico.

They've got it.

Kirby, let them go! Don't be a fool, man!

Come on, chico,

we mustn't lose them.

What happened?

- He hit me.

- Who?

- Your friend, Kirby.

- What?

I caught him with my people

stealing El Diablo.

- Stealing?! Why, the dirty...

- No, no. Not Tuck.

- We just saw him with our own eyes.

- He's no good, T.J.

Champ, get Bean and Rowdy.

You bet.

Whoa!

Come on!

Look here.

Tuck's got company.

We're headed in the right direction.

He's working with the professor.

They were speaking of scientific interest.

Scientific interest, my eye!

Tuck wants El Diablo for Buffalo Bill.

- You should have listened to me, T.J.

- He's right, T.J.

That Tuck is the lowest.

All right, all right!

He was right. I was wrong.

- Lf we stand here we'll never catch him.

- I know where they're heading.

- There's a shortcut.

- To where?

Forbidden Valley.

Help!

Now, professor,

where's that little horse?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

Sir Horace, when your king finds out

you're a low-down horse thief...

...he'll give you a touch of the sword,

all right. Yeah, just about there.

You're gonna tell me where El Diablo is.

You can make it easy or hard.

That's up to you.

- Well, the gypsies took him.

- You put them up to it.

Well, yes, in a way,

but it's going to benefit all of us.

Oh, now, is that a fact?

- El Diablo...

- Is the property of Miss Breckenridge!

I'm protecting her interests.

Well, so am I.

Don't you see, we must follow

the gypsy trail to the Forbidden Valley.

Where there is one Eohippus,

there must be others.

At least two, the sire and the mare.

Possibly more.

Just think what you

and Miss Breckenridge could do...

...with a dozen Eohippi.

From now on we're partners?

Oh, no, professor. I make it a rule never

to shake hands with an anxious man.

I'll join you, but no deals.

- Seor Kirby!

- Hey, hi there, Lope.

Say, what's the price of water

around here?

- One peso. To you, half.

- Okay.

Fly, little one. Fly home to your master.

This circle of mountains,

jagged peaks, deep cliffs...

...could be the perfect barrier

against man and the elements.

Huh, no wonder they call it

the Forbidden Valley.

Yes.

Might be the answer to many things.

Like what?

We shall soon see, Mr. Kirby.

We'll camp here tonight,

start out first thing in the morning.

What's that?

Quick, the horses!

- Where's Rosita?

- Seor Kirby, professor, look!

There's blood all around.

Ho! Ho, boy, ho!

Yeah, the gypsies stopped here,

let El Diablo run off that way.

Seor Kirby! Professor!

Now, how'd they get here?

I was afraid of something like this.

Champ, I just caught myself

a horse thief.

Now hold on, T.J. You don't think

I had anything to do with that?

Look, the Eohippus!

Easy. Easy. Steady.

No, that's no good.

Let's chase him on horseback.

Go get him.

- Hey, need any help?

- Not from you.

- I've got it!

- Take your thieving hands off him.

He's mine.

Whatever you say, T.J.

Tuck Kirby, I could shoot you.

Keep after him, Champ.

Hey, we got him cornered.

The devil we have.

I can see daylight in there.

He must have gone clear through.

Yeah, that's that because we're not.

Looks like the end of the road.

It opens into another whole valley

through there.

Wider inside. Wide enough

for the horses.

Take up the slack easy.

Take her away.

Okay, that did it!

Come on, boys.

Now, ain't that something?!

Man, oh, man!

Champ!

Whoa. Here, what's this?

- I never saw tracks like that.

- Hey, Champ!

Do you see what I see?

Holy... What's that?

It looks like a plucked ostrich!

Let's get him for the show.

What the...?

- I'm gonna try and find the others.

- Right.

- It's hideous.

- Oh, it's beautiful.

- What kind of bird is it, professor?

- Oh, no bird.

A giant pterodactyl, a flying reptile.

It's been extinct

for over 50 million years.

Then what's it doing here?

Precisely.

What is it doing here?

- Where are the others?

- There!

Let's get out of here!

Gwangi.

- Take off, T.J.

- Lope's hurt.

Can you ride? Get on a horse, boy!

- Come on, professor. No time for that.

- I can't go now.

There's a big lizard back there,

heading this way. Get aboard.

Leave me alone, Mr. Kirby.

I'm not leaving now.

Come on, Tuck.

Okay, professor, it's your funeral.

Great Scott!

I see what you mean, Mr. Kirby.

By George! A styracosaurus!

Whoa!

All right, Champ, take a look.

Okay up here. Room for the horses

and everything.

- Let's get up there.

- What about the professor?

Nothing we can do for him now.

Just hope he's still alive.

Rowdy, you must be plumb loco.

- Now what'd I do?

- Come here.

These cartridges are blanks.

They're the blanks we use in the show.

No wonder the rifles didn't do any good.

How was I to know? You expect

to wake a fella ready for a shootout?

Hey, forget it.

Here, maybe we can use these.

- See if you can cut that into a spear.

- I don't take orders from no horse thief.

All right, now tell me, just what

do you mean, a horse thief?

All right, break it up.

That's enough.

We'll settle all this later.

No, we'll settle it right now. Lope?

It was the professor and the gypsies.

Carlos said you did it.

Carlos?

You never did bring anything

but trouble to T.J. All right.

Stop it! Where do you think you are,

civilization?

We all got to stick together

until we get out of this.

In all my travels I never saw

nothing like that 2-ton lizard.

If we could just get him back alive.

Yeah, the only thing I want

to get back alive is me.

That does it.

What are you doing out of the cave?

You wanna get yourself killed?

Not anymore.

- What's that for?

- Well, it's a trap.

In case one of those little lizards

decides to mosey up this way.

A hole in the ground

could swallow me up too.

You can't tell a friend from an enemy,

cockeyed female.

Don't they sleep nights?

Come on! Come on!

- It's gone.

- Yeah, temporarily.

Tuck, I've decided.

I'm going to sell out.

Well, that's great,

if we ever get back to Omar.

Not just Omar. The whole show,

lock, stock and barrel.

That's what you wanted, isn't it?

- Well, sure, sure.

- Oh, sound happier.

Well, I don't know, T.J.

I've been on my own so long.

I've been on my own too.

Well, I know, I know, but not like me.

I mean, really on my own.

I've had to con and pitch,

hustle my way into whatever I am now.

I don't even know where that is.

Tuck, I don't care.

Don't you understand?

All right.

All right, T.J.

I'll tell you. I've been looking

for something...

...all my life.

- Yes?

It took a lot of finding,

but I finally found it.

- Yes?

- The most beautiful...

...galdarndest ranch you ever saw.

- Ranch?

- Yeah, in Wyoming.

Don't you see, we could

both sell out, buy the place...

...build it up to a really big ranch,

raise a bunch of cattle and horses.

And kids, maybe?

Yeah!
