The Wild Thornberrys Movie Page #5

---

I'm afraid my desire

to witness a natural marvel

might have influenced Eliza.

She must have decided

she couldn't miss it.

No. Eliza wouldn't come

all the way from London

just for that.

There's something else going on.

Oh. I'm just afraid

that she'll get hurt.

She'll be fine, Marianne.

They all will.

Well, how do you know, Colonel?

And don't say,

"Because they're Thornberrys."

No. Because they've been raised

by you

and quite wonderfully,

I might add.

Radcliffe is right.

Now, let's find them.

Eliza! Donnie!

I have had enough of this!

I am not in the mood!

Oh, great.

I'm turning into Mom.

Where are the lights

on this stupid thing?

Get out of here, pork chops.

Uh... hi.

Thanks.

Oh, I don't normally

look this bad.

Just so you know.

Oh, which reminds me

have you seen, like,

a dorky girl with braces

and a monkey wearing clothes

and a wild boy?

I know.

I don't get it, either.

You have no idea

what kind of day

I have been having.

Do you have a sister?

Boko.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That was rude.

I'm Debbie.

Hey, Boko, you don't have

like, a premoistened towelette

on you by chance, do you?

Oh.

No one speaks English.

I am so... grounded.

Look-- a campfire!

It must be my parents!

Oh...

Mom! Dad!

Bree? S-Sloan?

Eliza, what are you doing

out here?

-The poachers are here.

-Mm-hmm.

They put up a fence

in Tembo Valley.

Really? Did you see them?

No. L-I...

I mean, yes, I saw them

and-and now

I have to find my parents.

They're filming the elephants.

That's why we're here, too.

To count

the elephant population.

If we can

find any, of course.

Yeah.

They're really hard to find.

They only...

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

They stay in the forest

except during the eclipse.

All the poachers

must have heard the legend.

They're after the elephants.

-What?

-What?

They must be planning

to catch them.

They'll be a thousand

out in the open.

We have to call Jomo right away!

No signal.

Of all times.

Well, can't you fix it?

Guys, guys, let's stay calm.

We can't do anything

about it tonight.

Tomorrow we'll find

Eliza's parents

and use their radio.

It's settled.

Bree's right.

The poachers won't try

to go after the elephants

before the eclipse.

But I'm worried about Tally

the cheetah cub

I told you about.

Eliza, it's dark.

No sense getting yourself

lost in the jungle.

I won't get lost.

Donnie, get back here.

No, no, Donnie.

I wouldn't want you

to go in there and make a mess.

Now, you and your chimp

and your little brother--

you can sleep right here.

Oh.

Oh, I'd look so hot in this.

Ow!

Thanks. I'm starving.

What kind of cereal is this?

Delicious.

Oh!

Thank you!

My soda!

Sorry.

Do you want some?

Delicious?

I'm really late for the whole

finding-my-sister thing.

It's pretty cool, huh?

And it's waterproof

for up to three feet.

Hey, why don't you keep it?

Oh, and thanks for the skirt.

You did give me this, right?

Boko give Debbie?

Debbie give Boko?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm so good at this

communication stuff.

I'll be fine, really.

I know exactly where I'm going.

Bye! Bye!

Bye, Boko!

Oh.

Hey, who put that vine there?

Bye, again.

Bye. No. L-I'm really...

I'm leaving now.

Whoa!

Whoo!

Hi, again.

I'm just a little turned around.

Oh.

Debbie...

Boko, listen.

You can't come with me, okay?

It's not that I don't

like you, because I do.

And it's not about the height

thing, 'cause it isn't.

I just can't drag you

into this family drama.

Things may get ugly.

I have to find my brat sister,

and believe me

she is good

at this jungle stuff.

Think this'll fit?

Darwin!

Donnie's gone.

We need to find him.

The eclipse is in a few hours.

Oh, but Donnie is always missing

and I was dreaming

about shepherd's pie.

Bree, Sloan,

have you seen Donnie?

He's...

Donnie!

Sloan told you

to stay out of there.

Bree, Sloan!

What is all this?

Oh!

I don't like this place.

We've got Donnie.

Now, let's go.

What's that?

Something's in there.

Tally?!

Huh?

Don't worry.

I'll get you out of there.

Eliza!

Oh, Tally!

Oh!

Oh, I knew I'd find you.

Eliza, we have

to get out of here.

What do you mean?

Hello, Eliza.

Sloan.

This cheetah cub--

where-where did you get him?

I picked him up...

on the savannah.

You... bought him?

No.

I picked him up...

right off the ground.

I told Sloan he shouldn't cut

that rope ladder.

It was you!

Yes.

Thank you so much

for returning my knife to me.

Ooh, kitten,

you didn't drink all your milk.

How are you ever going

to grow big enough

to make me a coat?

Oh, I'm afraid

you'll have to miss

the solar eclipse.

You can catch it

on the Poaching Channel.

You built the fence!

Of course.

Now, here's a question

for your famous father:

How many volts of electricity

does it take to kill

a thousand elephants? Hmm?

And then, my brat sister decided

to run away from boarding school

without any consideration

for me, her only sister.

Yeah. After all I've done

for her and the monkey.

What?

Do you see something, Boko?

If it was just Eliza,

I would say

go on, go play in the jungle.

But I am responsible

for Donnie

and I take that very seriously.

Debbie.

I don't see anything.

Brat sister?

Wow.

You're good.

Maybe we can make it

to this "Tembo Valley"

before lunchtime.

Tembo Valley?

Yeah. Do you know it?

Eliza

you are a little troublemaker.

First, you show up

on my cheetah hunt.

And then you jump

from a train

to same my rhino.

He's not your rhino.

Oh, really?

And then somehow

you knew the poachers

had shot him at the river.

Yet, you were on a train

at the time.

I guessed.

Perhaps.

And now you arrive

in the jungle

knowing about a fence.

A fence which no one

witnessed being built.

So, my little troublemaker,

who told you?

No one.

Are your parents working

with that Jomo person?

They don't even know

I'm here.

Then who is your

source of information?

There's no one.

You know too much

for a little girl.

I have too much invested

in this operation

to let anything get in my way.

If you don't tell

me who they are

you'll never see that

family of yours again.

Sloan, I hear someone coming.

What's going on?

I don't like the way that man

is looking at us.

Eliza, I saw them

with fire sticks

and then there was a loud sound.

Explosives?

Oh, we've got to get

out of here!

I'll help.

Go, Tally, go.

That's it.

Yes, that's it.

Get the cheetah involved again.

If we hadn't gone out looking

for them that night

we wouldn't be in this mess.

Don't you blame Tally...

Oh, I'm not.

Tally didn't sneak out

without permission.

Tally didn't run away

from boarding school.

Tally didn't trust

those awful people

who clearly

don't like animals.

I thought they were like me.

When are you going to see

that no one's like you?

What more do you need?

The shaman gave you a gift.

Use it!

Darwin, please!

You know what I think?

You don't know what to do

with your powers.

Darwin, for once in your life,
