The Rescuers Down Under Page #2

Synopsis: Cody, a boy from Mugwomp Flats responds to a distress call about a trapped giant Golden Eagle called Marahute. Freeing her, he gains a close friendship with the bird. However, Cody is soon abducted by the murderous poacher, Percival McLeach, who is after that bird which is of a highly endangered species and therefore an extremely profitable quarry. In a panic, a mouse Cody freed from one of McLeach's traps sends a desperate call for help to the Rescue Aid Society in New York City who assigns their top agents, Miss Bianca and Bernard, to the task. With transportation provided by the goofy albatross, Wilbur, the agents arrive in Australia and link up with the RAS' local field operative, Jake the Kangaroo Rat. Together, the trio must race against time to find Cody, stop McLeach, and save Marahute.

Tonight? But wait!

Bianca, this is so sudden. I mean, don't

you at least need a gown or something?

No, just a pair of khaki shorts

and some hiking boots!

Hiking boots?

- (CROWD APPLAUDS)

- Oh, there you are.

Come along, come along.

Delegates, we have

an important announcement.

Bernard and I have decided

to accept the mission to Australia.

Australia?

Good show!

Now, you must fly out immediately!

It's a little nippy outside,

but we won't let that stop us, will we?

(CHUCKLING)

(WIND HOWLING)

BERNARD:
Miss Bianca,

I'm not sure it's a good idea

to fly this soon after eating!

MISS BIANCA:

Darling, you'll be just fine!

But aren't you supposed

to wait 45 minutes?

Oh, just knock on the door

and see if Orville is there!

Nobody's home, let's go.

This is no time to play in the snow.

I wasn't playing in the snow.

It was an avalanche.

Look, Bernard!

"Under new management, see Wilbur."

(UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS)

Come on, darling. Let's get a move out!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING ALONG)

I'm the cat's pajamas

Always run around

with crazy little mamas

Whoo!

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Wilbur!

Get down there, son!

Hello?

Pick it, boy, pick it! Yeah!

Whoo! Here we go! Let's walk!

Whoo!

Look out! Excuse me, sir.

Do something! He can't hear us!

WILBUR:
Big time, big time!

The girls all look when I go by...

- (MUSIC STOPS)

- Who killed the music?

That's better.

Excuse us for interrupting.

We're from the Rescue Aid Society.

I am Miss Bianca, and this is my...

The Miss Bianca? I don't believe it.

My brother, Orville, told me all about

you. Boy. This is an honor to have...

May I just say, "Enchant. Seorita,"

to you? May I?

- (SMOOCHING)

- (CLEARS THROAT)

We need to charter a flight.

You've come to the right place,

buddy boy. Welcome to...

"Albatross Air.

A fair fare from here to there."

(CHUCKLING) Get it? A fair fare?

It's a play on... Never mind.

I've got tons of exotic

destinations, faraway places,

custom designed for

(IN ACCENT)

A romantic weekend getaway.

The finest in-flight accommodations.

Speaking of which, what can I get you?

How about a nice mango Maui cooler?

Very nice, very tasty.

No, thank you.

A coconut, guava nectar?

It's carbonated.

I got little umbrellas for each one,

and a little coconut thing.

- It's urgent that we leave immediately!

- Nothing? Nothing at all?

- How about a cream soda?

- We need a flight to Australia.

Australia? The land down under?

That's a fabulous idea!

So when can I pencil you in?

After spring thaw?

Mid-June would be very nice.

We must leave tonight.

Tonight? (GASPING)

Come on, you're kidding me, right?

Have you looked outside?

It's suicide out there.

Oh, no. Oh, no.
