Creature from the Black Lagoon Page #4

in which the fossil was found.

Hey, they're up.

- How long they have to wait there?

- It depends how far down they went.

- Well, how was it down there?

- Oh, fine.

- I'll help you off with this equipment.

- Good.

- Carl? I got your samples.

- Good.

- Let me have them.

- Here they are.

- Thank you, David.

- And this, something for you.

Oh! Well, thank you! They're very pretty.

Let's test 'em right away.

- Will you help me, Doctor?

- Be glad to.

Thank you.

Come on, David.

You can play house later.

David...

About Mark.

- Well? What about him?

- Try to understand.

I've been trying. Somebody oughta

tell him his ambition is showing.

It won't do any good. I know.

Long before you came to work with us,

I tried.

But there's this to say for him:

He's produced some important findings.

He's also taken credit

for some important findings.

- Well, coming below?

- No. I'll wait up here.

Hey, what was it like down there?

Like another world.

I'd like to see it.

Crazy kind of fishing - for rocks.

Miss Lawrence!

Miss Lawrence!

You too far out, Miss Lawrence!

Hey, Zee. Start the motor.

Chico! Pull up the anchor.

Kay! What are you doing out there?

Come on back!

Look, you take it easy! We get you!

Drop the anchor.

Thanks, Lucas.

- Kay, that wasn't a very smart thing to do.

- But wonderful.

- What was that?

- Something's in the net.

Pull up your net!

- Hurry up!

- Take it away!

Pull it up! Come on!

Pull it up!

- Pull it up!

- Come on!

Yeah!

- Did it fall against the side?

- No, no movement here.

Pull it up!

Hey, the boom's cracking!

Slack off your winch!

- Slack off!

- He can't hear you.

Hey! What kind of fish do this?

Who says it was a fish? The net could've

hooked onto some underwater rock.

Wait.

It was no rock that left this in the net.

It's amazing.

I just finished a rock analysis.

And you were right, David.

Some of the limestone deposit

where I found the fossil

is on the bottom of this lagoon.

Lucas, put that over the side for me,

will you?

Whatever the species might be,

if you let it alone, it won't bother you.

Maybe. But if you're wrong,

this harpoon will correct any mistakes.

Mark, we're out for photographs for study,

not trophies.

This... this thing alive and

in its natural habitat is valuable to us.

Why settle for a photo

when we can get the real thing?

You don't sound like a scientist, but

like some big-game hunter out for the kill.

We may not be back home, David,

but you're still working for me.

You didn't wait long enough

before coming up.

- Why'd you shoot? You weren't attacked.

- You sound as if I'd harpooned you.

And why should we play tag
