The Rescuers Down Under Page #5

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.

- WILBUR:
Hey, wait!

(SCREAMS) I've been skewered!

I've already missed tea, Mr. Albatross.

Now don't force me to take

drastic measures. You must relax.

Relax? I have never been

more relaxed in my life!

If I were any more relaxed, I'd be dead!

I'm not convinced.

WILBUR:
Hey! What?

Are you guys crazy?

You can't do that to me!

I'm an American citizen, buddy!

- Better double it!

- Double?

- Double, coming up!

- WILBUR:
No!

Prepare the albatross for medication.

I'm dreaming!

Come on, Wilbur. Wake up, boy!

- DOCTOR:
Three degrees right.

- Come on!

- Three degrees right.

- Down two degrees.

Don't go down two!

- Down two degrees.

- Ready!

No, I'm not ready! No, please!

Aim!

Please don't do this to me.

DOCTOR:
Fire!

- (GUNSHOT)

- WILBUR:
Ow!

Oh! Oh! (MOANING)

Now we just gotta

figure out how to get there.

So are you and your husband here

on a little outback excursion?

No, we're not married.

In fact, we're here

on a top secret mission.

Very hush-hush.

Gonna rescue that kid

McLeach nabbed?

Why, that's right! How did you know?

You'll find it's tough

to keep secrets in the outback, miss.

So which way you taking?

Suicide Trail through Nightmare

Canyon, or shortcut at Satan's Ridge?

- "Suicide Trail"?

- Good choice.

More snakes, less quicksand.

Then once you cross Bloodworm Creek,

you're scot-free, that is until...

Dead Dingo Pass.

Wait a minute, I don't see

any of that stuff on the map.

A map's no good in the outback!

What you really need is someone

who knows the territory.

Mr. Jake, will you guide us?

At your service!

Better take my arm, miss.

It's gonna be a treacherous hike.

I remember the time it was just me

and 400 of these big, giant...

Doesn't even know how to fold a map.

This is how we get around

in the outback, Miss B.

The only way to travel, Berno.

Yeah, it's just a little bumpy back here.

Cinch up your seat belts, mates.

We're coming in for a landing.

Hold it, not yet!

(GRUNTING)

Well, boy, let's see

if we can do something

to refresh that

rusty, old memory of yours.

Is she on Satan's Ridge?

Or Nightmare Canyon?

What do you think?

- (GROWLS)

- Yeah, that's it.

Right smack dab in the middle

at Croc Falls!

- Am I getting warm?

- I told you, I don't remember.

Don't you realize

a bird that size is worth a fortune?

I'll split the money 50/50.

You can't get a better offer than that.

You won't have any money

after the rangers get through with you.

(GROANS)

(GROWLS)

BERNARD:
Jake's been gone... Ow!

Been gone a long time.

Maybe I should go... Oh!

Maybe I should go look for him.

Don't you worry about Jake.

He can handle himself.

Yeah, I noticed.

I am just sure he'll be back in no time.
