You talking about settling down?

Sure you can make it, Tuck?

Well, I won't know

till I give it a try, will I?

Bean, Rowdy, bring torches! It worked!

I say up there, watch your step.

There seems to be a bit of a drop here.

I need some water before we set out.

Be right back.

- You shouldn't have let him go alone.

- His idea.

Come on!

Bean! Rowdy!

Get spears! Get spears!

Get the horses!

Bean, Rowdy, saddle up!

Got him!

Go to the other side!

Pull on the rope! Pull!

Pull that rope!

Go on, get clear!

Get clear!

Pull that rope! Get clear!

Pull on that rope! All the way!

Pull it!

Get another rope on him!

Pull that rope!

Hold on!

Another rope should do it!

Hold it steady!

Hold him! Hold him!

They've got him, professor!

They've got him!

Steady now, steady!

Keep the ropes tight!

Keep them tight!

Come on, professor!

Come on!

The ropes, keep them tight!

All right, clear out! Let go!

Rowdy, come on!

Steady those horses!

Can't get through!

Keep those horses steady!

Tuck, Carlos!

Can't get through here!

Go back to the professor.

There's no way through!

There's no way through!

We gotta go back!

We're gonna lug this critter back alive!

T.J., you're gonna have the greatest

main attraction that any circus...

What's the matter?

Where's Carlos?

Champ!

It is as I foretold.

Gwangi has killed Carlos

just as he killed his brother Miguel.

- Well, how'd you know that?

- In a dream, I saw it.

The great jaws snapping,

the riderless horse. He was doomed.

And so will you be doomed,

all of you...

...unless the evil one is set free!

Balderdash, my good woman

He's no more evil than an alligator.

The only thing that's evil about him

are his jaws.

Spells? He can cast no spells!

All right, come on, let's move out.

Defy the law and perish!

In the name of world science,

I beg you, I implore you, to think again.

- Later. We've got a show to put on.

- A show! A show?

It's disgraceful to think of putting this

creature on display in a cheap circus!

- We can do what we like. He's ours.

- He belongs to us all, to mankind.

- To scientific research!

- Easy, professor.

You can do your research in the time we

give you. Follow us on our world tour!

You must be mad, raving mad.

World tour!

We'll see what the Royal Society

has to say about this.

- What's this about a world tour?

- I've got it all figured out.

- We play London, Paris, Madrid, and...

- Wait a minute.

- Forgetting something, aren't you?

- Oh, yes, New York.

No, not New York, Wyoming!

That ranch!

- We talked about it, remember?

- Yes, but that was before.

Look, T.J., this show

was going to be it.

The reason I helped you was so that

all of you could get paid off handsome.

- From a show that's really worth buying.

- But now it's worth saving.

Tuck, can't you see?

We can do the tour, then buy the ranch.

No. No, we can't.

Not you and me. Not now.

- Same old Tuck.

- Oh, no, not the same old Tuck!

But a new kind of T.J.,

suddenly caught up in a world of glitter.

Leave me out. That dreamboat's

on the rocks before it sails.

As you like.

As you like?!

- Well, that's it.

- I guess it is.

Figures.

Well, I'm sorry for you.

You're heading for a place I just left.

I know that place.

I don't think you're gonna like it much.

Seorita, you must go after Mr. Kirby.

He's a very proud man

and he'll never come back.

Tuck!

Quiet him down!

Quiet him down!

Please, seor,

I'm doing the best I can!

Pedro, ready with that fanfare music.

Stand by, boys. When that goes up

you'll get the picture of your lives.

Ladies and gentlemen!

I have the honor...

...to make the most important

announcement of this...

To make the most important

announcement of the era!

What you are about to see

has never been seen before, I repeat...

...has never been seen before

by human eyes!

Captured and brought back alive...

...by Miss T.J. Breckenridge!

Let her rip, boys.

Let her rip!

Gwangi the Great!

Living wonder of the prehistoric era!

Get that curtain down!

Can you get that curtain down?

Stop him!

What is happening?

No, you're supposed to play!

- Champ! I know what's happened.

- Gwangi's loose!

Well, get some rifles!

The doors! The doors!

Lope!

Get in there!

Push!

Quick, out the back way!

I'll try and lock him in.

- This door's barred from the inside!

- The other is too!

We've gotta get in there!

Come on!

Go!
