The Wild Page #3

Synopsis: Ryan is a lion who wants to go to the wild, where his dad (Samson) once lived. When he gets himself shipped to Africa, his zoo friends (and Samson) work together to bring him back. When they get to Africa, however, the animals find themselves in a pile of danger. They have to fight an evil wildebeest called Kazar. But Kazar's safe compared to the other danger on the island- a volcano that's on the edge of eruption. Can the animals find Ryan and get out of Africa before the volcano erupts in so little time?

Yeah, he's right there.

Benny?

Benny!

Great. Now what am I gonna do?

Guys! Guys! I think we should duck!

What is she saying?

She said, "Duck down!"

Duck!

I am not in the mood

for a game of footsie

or hoofsie or pawsie or...

That wasn't my paw. It was this!

I didn't steal it. I borrowed it.

It'll light the way to Ryan.

The walls are moving.

Right, right. The walls...

The walls are moving!

Larry, hold your breath!

Larry, stay straight!

Everybody out!

All right, don't panic.

What we've got to do...

This is definitely not good. Samson!

- Give me your hoof!

- Help!

Larry!

The garbage! It lives!

Guys?

OK, anybody? I'm freakin' out.

- What's the hold up?

- Hello?

We're over here, Nigel.

Right. I'll be there in a minute.

Think. What did Benny say?

Couple of lefts, couple of rights.

Bridget, can you see the green lady?

I'm looking, I'm looking,

but I can't see over anything

for a change.

How far are you away?

You in a different continent?

Is that you, Larry?

Up here, Nige.

You're a very furry snake.

Guys... We don't want

to draw attention to ourselves.

Dogs. This should be fun

for you, Samson.

Nigel! Grab Bridget!

- What?

- Run!

I'm gonna throw up! I'm gonna throw up!

Shouldn't you be

tearing them to shreds?

All part of the plan. This maneuver's

known as the Serengeti Slip.

Page ten of the Predator's Playbook.

What next?

Page 11?

Go on, you mutts!

Stupid dogs, we could've taken you.

Taken you to a... To a disco!

Larry, improvise!

- Larry, that's not helping.

- OK.

You dogs think you got bark?

Well, Samson's got roar!

- Show 'em, Sam.

- Dig deep, Samson.

You're a lion. Be a lion.

Look at that guy!

Sam, they are frothing at the mouth.

OK...

- Larry, coil!

- Check!

- Sam!

- I improvised. Now jump!

- Down there?

- Yes!

We're leaving, Larry!

Teensy question, Samson.

With those dogs up there,

why didn't you just do

what you did in the wild?

You know, lionize 'em or lionate them

or lionify them?

I don't have time

to fight dogs, Bridget.

We have to find Ryan, remember?

What is this stinky place?

It...

...appears to be a human bathing area.

You mean humans

don't lick themselves clean?

Disgusting!

They're hopeless. It is hard to believe

they are at the top of the food chain.

I can't imagine beginning the day

without licking myself.

No hurry, but is there a plan?

Of course there's a plan.

We follow this water to the big water,

and then we find the lady with...

Larry, either your stomach is growling

or something in it is growling.

Wasn't me.

What?

- Smooth move, Nigel!

- Oh, boy! Twins!

OK, Sammy, hurry it up now,

'cause these guys

are seeming to have acid reflux

or something!

Everybody... stay calm.

- Calm?

- Not good.

Yo. Boo!

I'm gonna say,

it looks like you and your crew here

are a little far from your borough.

Far from your borough! I love it.

We're going to the big water.

Nigel, show them what we're looking for.

- Like this?

- I think it's in her right hand.

- And isn't she blue?

- I can't do blue.

- No idea. You?

- Doesn't even register.

- You're battin' zero, kid.

- Do the thing with...

Make your bloody mind up.

The big female

with the spikes on her melon!

They're tourists.

All right, tourists, listen up.

Ya gotta get to Battery Park.

First take the Broadway culvert.

- Down the Broadway culvert?

- What's wrong with that?

- They get lost at the sewage plant!

- Get outta here!

- What are you talking about?

- How would you send 'em?

You're sendin' 'em the wrong way!

The Wall Street culvert

is blocked with construction.

- That is true.

- All right.

Guys, you gonna help or not?

Yeah, sure.

Of course we're gonna help ya's.

We're one big family, right?

Except for that guy there.

He scares the...

You done runnin' your mouth yet,

Carmine? Are ya?

I apologize. He never got over

being flushed down the toilet.

Yeah.

Follow me, 'cause you four won't last

ten minutes in this neighborhood.

It's a jungle down here.

- Stan, you know who that is?

- What? No.

That's one of them talkin' kawana bears!

How ya doing?

I'm so cuddly! I like you!

I've seen a lot of those things

floatin' here in the sewer.

That's good!

You're makin' me laugh over here.

Just wait for me!

Are we in the right place?

Any place without

two hilarious alligators

seems a move in the right direction.

- Sam, do you see anything up there?

- I sure do.

Well, well, well.

There she is, like Hamir said.

And it's sunrise,

which means we're a tad short on time.

Guys, look.

We know the box Ryan's in is green.

It's gotta be around here,

so I need you to...

Yeah. So we should

shout out if we see a box

that looks like the ones over there.

It hasn't left yet! We can make it!

- Let's go!

- Hold on, Larry!

- Which way now?

- Yeah, which way?

Run!

No!

No!

Ryan's on that thing!

We've got to stop it!

- We can't, Sam!

- I don't care!

- No, Sammy, you'll drown!

- Sam!

I failed. Again.

I only count one failure.

It's big, but it's just one.

Goodbye, Ryan. We're gonna miss ya.

- Samson!

- What on earth is going on?

It's a human and I do not

think he works for the zoo.

Perhaps now

is a good time to improvise.

What?

Great! One problem down...

Far out.

Cool.

One disaster to go.

What are you doing?

We're headed for the other boat!

How do we steer?

Who knows how to steer?

None of us. We're animals. Great!

- Hold on, Larry. Do that again.

- Do what?

Whatever you just did, but the opposite!

But I don't know my opposites!

No, Larry, like this!

I think I've got it.

Well, that was easy.

Oh, dear. Has anyone

got any eucalyptus wipes?

This isn't so difficult.

I'm the lion of the sea!

Well done, sir.

Captain of our team

and now captain of this vessel.

You're brilliant.

I hate to be Miss Negative,

but in this melee,

we seem to have lost Ryan's boat.

- What, nothing?

- Nothing. He's gone.

No.

There! Nelson! The green boxes!

- You're sure, eh?

- And there's my buddies!

And my love!

Let's go in!

- We'll head away from the sun.

- No, towards the sun. To the north.

Starboard... Leftboard.

Just follow my finger.

Please. You guys

wouldn't know the answer

if it fell from the sky

and hit you in the head.

Oh, my! It's a bat! It's a bat!

Get it off me! Get it off me!

- Benny!

- Benny?

Geese!

- Are you all right?

- Yes, my princess.

Benny, you made it!

You're my best friend.

Best friends should stick together.

Even not-so-best friends,

who knock you off

a speeding garbage truck.

Excuse me, but I begged them

to go back and get you.

Just so you know.

Benny, could you see Ryan's boat

from up there?

Well, it just so happens

I saw it heading that way.

And we're in luck!

- How's it goin', eh?

- Canadian geese!

Experts at intercontinental travel.

Hey, birdie, OK,

is it true that Canada has lax

immigration policies for koalas?

I'll take it from here.

My son's out there.

We really need your help.
