Pete's Dragon Page #2

Synopsis: Pete, a boy is found in a forest. Apparently he's been living there for six years after an accident took his parents. A ranger named Grace decides to take him in and when she asks him how he survived all by himself, he says he had a friend, Elliot, with him. He draws a picture of Elliot and it's a picture of a dragon. Grace takes the picture to her father who claims that years ago, he encountered a dragon in the forest. Grace takes Pete back to the forest and he shows them where he lives and Elliot. A man saw Elliot and when he tells about his experience and is not believed, he sets out to prove it by capturing the dragon.

You're not supposed to be cutting

anywhere near this deep.

Don't talk to me,

it wasn't my call, Grace.

Well, then whose was it?

Of course.

Hey, I have to get to school.

JACK:
Could you wait in the truck, sweetheart?

We'll just be a minute.

Hello?

(TWIG SNAPPING, GASPING)

Wait!

Where are you?

Whoa. How did you get up there?

Come on! Slow down!

You're pretty good at this.

(INCIDENTAL MUSIC)

Don't.

I'm hurt.

How old are you?

- Pete.

Pete...

You look like a Pete.

My name's Natalie.

- Daddy!

- Natalie!

Daddy!

- You can't run away like that.

- What happened to you?

- I fell out of a tree.

- You fell out of a tree?

- What were you doing in the tree?

Oh.

His name is Pete.

Hey.

Pete? Wait, wait, wait.

Where's your come from?

Do you know where your parents are?

Your family?

Where did you get that?

Whoa, there, little buddy.

Where are you going so...

Hey!

Hey, kid, come back here.

Hey. Come on, kid.

(SNIFFING)

(CONTINUE SNIFFING)

(WHINES)

(TRUMPETING)

Doesn't matter.

Sheriff, the Rangers, everybody else

is gonna be locking this site down

until they figure out

where that kid came from.

- Hey, you hear that?

- Don't change the subject, Gavin.

MAN:
Out here, who knows how to

find that kid in the first place.

- We need a big score to help us compete.

- What about a few years from now

when we have nothing left to cut down

because you keep jumping the gun?

- Where are you going?

- Where do you thing?

(ENGINE STARTING)

You're not the only family

I got to worry about.

Well, let me know how

Pete's doing, will you?

What's wrong, Gavin?

Jack giving you a hard time?

You know Jack.

He just sore because his girlfriend

stepping on his toes.

You're right, man.

- (TREE CREAKING)

- Holy...

What was that?

(COCKING RIFLE)

Let's go hunting.

Pete...

Time to wake up, Pete.

Mama...

(PANTING)

Elliot?

(FOOTSTEPS PASSING BY)

- MAN:
How's he doing?

- WOMAN:
Pretty well, all things considered.

No signs of malnourishment

or serious exposure.

He might have a bump to the head, but..

- Lucky kid.

- Super lucky.

I just... How did he get out there?

My guess he was on a picnic

or a camping trip.

He wandered off from his family,

got himself lost.

Sure, but when?

I mean, it looks like he's been out there

for who knows how long and...

- ...he had this.

- You sure that's yours?

- Pretty sure.

- Here we are.
