Kent
[Hogarth opens the door and sees Kent Mansley.]
Hey there, scout. Kent Mansley. I work for the government. [Hogarth quickly closes the door and he gasps]
Annie
Hogarth? [Kent knocks and rings the doorbell] Hogarth? [Hogarth opens the door]
Kent
Hey there, scout. Kent Mansley. [smile disappears] Work for the government. Your parents home?
Hogarth
We're eating.
Kent
Mmm, boy.
Annie
Who's there, honey?
Kent
[stares at Annie's chest; huskily]
Well, hello there. [clears throat and regains composure] Do you have a telephone I could use?
Annie
Yes, there's one in the kitchen.
Kent
Well, thank you. Thank you very much. [to Hogarth] Here. [puts his fedora on Hogarth's head] Pretend you're a gangster. [chuckles]
General Rogard
[Kent calls General Rogard's home phone number. The general picks up while watching a western on TV.] [annoyed]
Damn it, Mansley, you called me at home for this?
Kent
You don't understand, sir. It-it-it-- It ate my car!
General Rogard
And you saw this happen?
Kent
No, I didn't actually see it. It went off into the... woods.
General Rogard
So, you don't have any evidence.
Kent
But-But sir, I've got an eyewitness!
General Rogard
An eyewitness with a concussion.
Kent
[shouts]
This thing i--! [covers his mouth and lowers his voice] This thing is a menace. It-It-It-It tore up a power station and-- [phone falls, and he picks up] --and caused a train wreck!
General Rogard
What did? Tell me again, Mansley, and this time, listen to yourself.
Kent
[sighs; wearily]
A giant metal monster. [Rogard guffaws on the other end. Kent turns around a kitchen mitt that seems to mock him.] Please, sir. I've got a feeling about this one.
General Rogard
That's lovely, Kent. But let me try to explain how this works: If you told me you'd found, say, um, a giant footprint, I might send over an expert to make a plaster cast of it. Hell, you get me a photograph of this thing and I could probably get some troops over there! But you tell me you've got a feeling.
Kent
All right, then fine. You want evidence? I'll get you evidence, and when I do, I'm gonna want a memo distributed.
General Rogard
[dryly]
That sounds swell, Kent.
Kent
I'm gonna want that memo carbon-copied, and redistributed, [Rogard hangs up.] and-- [Kent stops, and tries to hang up the phone, which falls off the receiver, twice; he gets angry, yelling incoherently and bangs the phone against the receiver several times, then composes himself.] Hi. Thanks for the use of your phone. [goes outside the door and puts his fedora back on.] Well, thank you for the use of your phone, Mrs.--?
Annie
Hughes. Annie Hughes. And this is my son, Hogarth.
Kent
Thank you, Annie. Hobart.
Hogarth
That's Hogarth! [grumbles irritably]
Kent
[Kent gets into his government-issue car and starts driving.]
"Hogarth"? What an embarrassing name. Might as well call him Zeppo or something. What kind of a sick person would name their kid Hogar--? [stops and looks over to Hogarth's smashed B-B gun which says "Hog Hug," instead of "Hogarth Hughes." ] "Hog Hug". "HOG HUG"?! [realizes] HOGARTH HUGHES!
General Rogard
[takes radio from a soldier frozen with fear]
All battleships fire at the robot! Now! NOW, DAMN IT, NOW!
General Rogard
[The battleships offshore fire on the Giant, drawing its' attention away from the army and it begins marching toward the shore to confront the new threat]
Nothing can stop this thing; We've hit it with everything we've got!
Mansley
Not everything, General; the bomb. [Rogard removes his glasses and stares in shock] The Nautilus has first-strike capability, and is not far offshore.
General Rogard
You scare me, Mansley. You want us to bomb ourselves in order to kill it?!
Mansley
General, the Giant seems to follow whatever attacks it. We can lure it away from the town, then destroy it.
General Rogard
[to one of his soldiers]
Radio the Nautilus. Tell them to target the robot and await my command.
George
This is Nautilus. What's the Giant's current position?
Rick
[through radio]
67.71972 degrees west by 44.50177 degrees north.
Robert
Locked and loaded.
Annie
[caressing Hogarth]
Oh, my baby, I'm so sorry.
Hogarth
[regains consciousness; to Dean]
Stop the car.
Annie
[surprised]
Hogarth! Oh, my God! Honey, you're all right!
Hogarth
Go back! We've gotta help him!
Dean
Are you crazy, kid? You're lucky to be alive. We're taking you to a hospital. [sees the Army; stops truck.]
Rick
Everyone, out of the car! We are to evacuate the area. [pulling Dean of out the truck]
Dean
What are you talking about? We gotta get this boy to a hospital.
Rick
What boy?
Dean
[sees the truck is empty; alarmed]
Hogarth!
Annie
[Hogarth runs up to Giant as Dean and Annie look on.] [worried]
Hogarth, no!
Hogarth
[Giant targets the battleship as Hogarth arrives to stop him.]
Hey! No! STOP!
General Rogard
[Giant turns to Hogarth and he shoots to sky, narrowly missing the battleship, as the army reacts in shock. Kent looks at General Rogard.] [to Nautilus, through radio]
This is General Rogard. Ready the attack and prepare to retreat to the fallback position.
Annie
No! No! Stop! My son is out there!
Hogarth
[camera cuts to Hogarth as Giant points his weapon at him.]
No, wait! It's me, Hogarth. Remember? It's bad to kill. Guns kill. And you don't have to be a gun. You are what you choose to be. You choose. [braces for impact] Choose.
Giant
[his eyes return to normal]
Hogarth. [returns to his normal form, feeling regretful, as he moans.]
Hogarth
It's okay, It's okay. We gotta show them you're good.
John
[Giant turns around, and the camera cuts to inside the Nautilus submarine.]
Nautilus to Rogard. Missile armed and ready.
General Rogard
What are you saying? He's friendly?
Dean
Yes! Attacking him is triggering a defense mechanism.
Kent
Don't listen, General! Destroy the monster while we still have the chance!
Dean
[soldiers arm their rifles, after hear the Giant's footsteps]
General, you shoot now, and the whole thing starts all over again!
Kent
Stop it now, General! Our future's at stake!
Rick
Orders, sir?
Dean
Which is why you have got to stop, General!
Rick
[alarmed]
It's getting closer! Orders, sir?!
Hogarth
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
Annie
Hogarth!
General Rogard
Hold your fire! The boy's alive?
Kent
It's a trick; Launch the missile!
General Rogard
Are you mad, Mansley? All units, stand down! Rogard to Nautilus. Come in, Nautilus.
John
[Giant angrily stares at Kent for knocking Hogarth unconscious, and Kent is alarmed] [through radio]
This is Nautilus, standing by.
Kent
[snatches radio; screaming]
LAUNCH THE MISSILE NOW!
General Rogard
[Nautilus captain pushes the red button, launching the missile up to the sky.] [grabs Kent by his trench coat] [angrily]
That missile is TARGETED TO THE GIANT'S CURRENT POSITION! WHERE'S THE GIANT, MANSLEY?!
Kent
[sees the Giant holding Hogarth in his hands standing behind him]
Wha--? Ohhhh....W-W-We can duck and cover! There's a fallout shelter right there. If we hur--
General Rogard
There's no way to survive this, YOU IDIOT!
Kent
[shocked]
You mean... we're all going to--?
General Rogard
To die, Mansley. For our country.
Kent
[his last words; alarmed]
Screw our country, I wanna live! [shoves a soldier out of a jeep and starts to drive away, but the Giant stops him by blocking his jeep with his hand.]
General Rogard
Hold him, men. [Soldiers aim their rifles at Kent.] Make sure he stays here, like a good soldier.
Hogarth
[an air raid siren goes off and the crowd gets worried and scared. Giant puts Hogarth down then he walks up to Annie and hugs her.] [shocked]
Oh, no. [looks to where the missile is heading.]
Giant
Hmm.
Hogarth
It's the missile. When it comes down, everyone will die. [Annie places her hand on Hogarth's shoulder.]
Man
There it is! [the crowd sees the missile up in the sky as Giant looks at it then he looks to crowd knowing that the missile will kill everyone, and bravely looks at the missile.]
Annie
Shouldn't we get to a shelter?
Dean
[shaking his head]
It wouldn't matter.
Giant
I fix. [Hogarth feels surprised and he walks up to Giant.]
Hogarth
Giant? [Giant kneels down and gently places his finger at him.]
Giant
Hogarth. You stay. I go. [gently lifts Hogarth's chin, and sadly waves his other finger] No following. [backs slowly]
Hogarth
[softly]
I love you.
Hogarth
[The Giant takes off as Hogarth looks on and Annie comforts him. As the missile starts to descend, the Giant flies up into outer space, aiming himself towards it, to save the town.] [through memory]
You are who you choose to be.
Giant
[last word; heroically]
Superman...
General Rogard
[The Giant closes his eyes and flies straight into the missile, which explodes in a massive atomic fireball, as Annie, Dean and Hogarth shield their eyes from the blinding light. The townspeople and soldiers cheer as Rogard solemnly removes his helmet in respect for the Giant's sacrifice] [solemnly]
Let's go home.
Mayor
[The scene switches to the Mayor's office the phone rang and the Mayor answers it]
Mayor's office. [Shocked] What? A train accident?
Kent Mansley
And you report seeing anything unusual. [Then he stops and realizes]
Mayor
[On phone]
What do you mean he hit a giant creature? What creature could be big enough to-- [she was interrupted when Kent snatches the phone.]
Kent Mansley
[listening on the phone. He turns and points to one of the associates]
I need your car.
Hogarth Hughes
[Outside of City Hall Kent Mansley takes the car and drives away. The scene switches outside of Hogarth's home where the robot goes in the shed. Hogarth watches as the body parts put the robot back together. The jaw bolt approaches the robot and he picks it up to his jaw. He moves his jaw then he smiled at Hogarth.] [Amazed]
Wow. You can fix yourself? Neat-o! [He sees his mom come home] Uh oh, Mom's home. Just stay here, Okay? I'll be back. Bye! [Closes the shed door]
Iron Giant
[Waving]
Bye. [He sees his hand is missing]
Kent Mansley
[The scene switches to the investigation of the train wreck. Kent is talking to the two engineers.]
What happened here?
Engineer #1
Go on. Tell him what you saw, Frank.
Engineer #2
You're not gonna believe this. But it was a giant metal man.
Kent Mansley
[Kent stands up and he lights his pipe to smoke.]
Does anybody know where I can get to a phone nearby? [One of the engineers points to Hogarth's house]
Annie Hughes
[The scene switches to the dining room where Annie and Hogarth have dinner.]
Would you say grace please?
Hogarth Hughes
[Hogarth puts down the spoon and he's about to say grace then he sees the robot's hand in the kitchen.]
Oh, my God! [Hesitantly] Uh... O my God...we thank you... for the food, uh...food...that...Mom has put in front of us and-- Stop! [Annie looks at him] Uh, the devil! From doing bad things? And uh-- get out of here! Uh... Satan! Go! Go...so...that we may live in peace. Amen.
Annie Hughes
Amen. That was...hmm...really unusual, Hogarth.
Hogarth Hughes
[Quickly]
Forgot to wash my hands. [leaves the table]
Annie Hughes
Well, OK.
Hogarth Hughes
[Hogarth checks the kitchen then he goes in the living room and he sees the robot's hand watching TV. Hogarth quickly shuts off the TV and he's about to pull it out of the living room but he sees his mom in the kitchen.] [Softly]
Stop, Stop! All right. Come on. Over here.
Hogarth Hughes
[Annie is in the dining room as Hogarth stays quiet the robot's hand bumps from behind him and he pushes it away. He mutters to himself then he pulls out a coin from his pocket then he throws it to the spice rack in the kitchen. Annie goes to the kitchen and Hogarth pulls the robot's hand to the door.] [Softly]
Come on, over here, Come on, Yeah.
Kent Mansley
[Hogarth opens the door and sees Kent Mansley.]
Hey there, scout. Kent Mansley. I work for the government. [Hogarth quickly closed the door and he gasped]
Annie Hughes
Hogarth? [Kent knocks and rings the doorbell] Hogarth? [Hogarth opens the door]
Kent Mansley
Hey there, scout. Kent Mansley. [frowns] Work for the government. Your parents home?
Hogarth Hughes
We're eating.
Kent Mansley
Mmm, boy.
Annie Hughes
Who's there, honey?
Kent Mansley
Oh, hello there. Do you have a telephone I could use?
Annie Hughes
Yes, there's one in the kitchen.
Kent Mansley
Well, thank you. Thank you very much. [To Hogarth] Here. [Puts his hat on Hogarth's head] Pretend you're a gangster. [Chuckling]
General Rogard
[The scene changes to General Rogard talking on the phone at home, watching TV.] [Annoyed on phone]
Dammit Mansley. You call me at home for this?
Kent Mansley
[Over phone]
You don't understand sir. It ate my car.
General Rogard
[Over phone]
And you saw this happen?
Kent Mansley
No, I didn't actually see it. It went off into the woods.
General Rogard
So you don't have any evidence?
Kent Mansley
But sir, I've got an eyewitness!
General Rogard
An eyewitness with a concussion.
Kent Mansley
This thing- [Softly] This thing is a menace. It tore up the power station. It caused a train wreck!
General Rogard
What did? [Sternly] Tell me again, Mansley, and this time...listen to yourself.
Kent Mansley
[Sighs]
A giant metal monster. [Rogard laughs on phone; Kent sees a funny face oven mitt staring at him. Kent turns it away, embarrassed.] Please sir. I've got a feeling about this one.
General Rogard
That's lovely, Kent. But let me try to explain how this works. If you told me you'd found, say, a giant footprint...I might sent over an expert to make a plaster cast of it. [Angrily] Hell! You get me a photograph of this thing and I could probably get some troops over there! But you tell me you've got a feeling?
Kent Mansley
All right then, fine. You want evidence? I'll get you evidence. And when I do, I'm gonna want a memo distributed.
General Rogard
That sounds swell. [Slowly hangs up the phone]
Kent Mansley
[Slowly]
I'll want the memo carbon-copied and redistributed- [The dial tone is heard and he hangs his head as he tries hanging up the phone he growls and mutters with frustration and Annie and Hogarth look at him. Kent hangs up the phone in a proper way as he shows composure,]
Kent Mansley
Hi. Thanks for the use of your phone.
Kent Mansley
[Kent goes outside the door.]
Well, thank you for the use of your phone, Mrs...?
Annie Hughes
Hughes. Annie Hughes. And this is my son Hogarth.
Kent Mansley
[Leaving]
Thank you, Annie. Hobart.
Hogarth Hughes
[Annoyed]
That's Hogarth. [to himself, quietly] Jerk.
Kent Mansley
[Starts his car]
Hogarth? What an embarrassing name. Might as well call him Zeppo or something. What kind of a sick person would name a kid Hogar--? [He stops and he sees Hogarth's damaged BB gun, with the remaining words "HOG HUG"] Hog Hug. Hogag!? Hogarth Hughes! [Stops the car]
Hogarth Hughes
[Knocking is heard and Hogarth answers the door.] [Annoyed]
Kent Mansley. You work for the government
Kent Mansley
I wasn't gonna say that. I have something for you, Hogarth. [Hands him the damaged BB gun]
Annie Hughes
[To Hogarth]
Your BB gun. [To Kent] Where did you find that?
Kent Mansley
Up at the power station.
Annie Hughes
Hogarth was out there the other night.
Kent Mansley
Really? See anything unusual, Hogarth?
Hogarth Hughes
[Shaking his head]
Nothing...unusual, really. [He hears the toilet flushing that came from upstairs] Gotta use the bathroom.
Annie Hughes
[Hogarth runs upstairs and Kent felt suspicious. Hogarth opens the bathroom door and he sees the robots's hand rolling the toilet paper. He gasped upon seeing it.]
Strange, he's so tightlipped now and the other night he couldn't stop talking. I mean, 100-foot-robots and whatnot.
Kent Mansley
[Chuckling]
A 100-foot robot? That's nutty! What else did he say?
Hogarth Hughes
[From upstairs]
No, wait, stop!
Annie Hughes
Excuse me.
Annie Hughes
[Hogarth is trying to push the robot's hand out the bathroom window.] [Knocking]
Hogarth? What is going on in there? Are you all right?
Hogarth Hughes
[Groaning]
I'm fine.
Kent Mansley
You know. this sort of thing is why it's so important to really chew your food. [Annie glares at him]
Annie Hughes
[Hogarth pushed the hand out of the window which it lands on the ground.]
Hogarth? [Hogarth zips down his pants] Hogarth? [Opens the door]
Hogarth Hughes
Mom! [Annie exclaimed seeing Hogarth sitting on the toilet] A little privacy?!
Annie Hughes
Sorry. [As she closes the door it hits Kent, who yelped in pain; to Kent] Sorry. He's been acting strange lately.
Kent Mansley
[rubbing where the door hit him]
That hurt.
Kent Mansley
[Hogarth sighs in relief then he stands up and zips up his pants. He sees the robot's hand go to the shed. Kent leaves the house and goes to his car]
Thank you, again Annie. Good night Hogarth. I'm sure we'll see each other real soon.
[Kent gets in his car and he drives away then Hogarth and Annie go back inside the house.]
Dean McCoppin
[The scene changes where Dean is outside of his house stretching having a cup of coffee. Then he hears jeeps approaching.]
Okay. [Sipping his coffee]
Kent Mansley
[The soldiers in their jeeps drive up to Dean's scrapyard, Hogarth and Annie are in the army jeep. Kent comes out of the jeep.]
All right, where is it?
Dean McCoppin
What?
Kent Mansley
You know darn well what. The monster. The giant thing. The metal man.
Dean McCoppin
Ahh, the metal man. [Chuckles] Geez, you were scaring me there for a second. I thought I was under attack or something. He's in the back. Come on, I'll show you. [Dean holds up his keys] You guys got here just in time. This rich cat you know, some industrialist, wants him for the lobby of his company. He whipped out his checkbook right on the spot. I said, "Hey, you got him for the rest of your life. But, what? I gotta let go the moment I give birth? I mean, come on. Give me some time to cut the umbilical, man!". There he is.
Dean McCoppin
[Kent sees the Giant, disguised as metal sculpture.]
Anyway, I haven't sold him yet. So if you really want him and if, you know, you throw in a competitive bid.
Kent Mansley
[Nervously, to General Rogard]
Sir, listen.
General Rogard
[Sternly]
Step outside, Mansley.
Kent Mansley
Yes, sir.
General Rogard
[Kent is reprimanded by General Rogard; Hogarth smiles through the window.] [Furiously]
You realize how much hardware I brought out there?! You just blew millions of Uncle Sam's dollars out of your butt!
Annie Hughes
[Annie is talking to Dean.]
I gotta admit, I'm relieved that this is what Hogarth was talking about. I mean, I was beginning to think it was real. [Dean chuckles and clears his throat] I mean, don't get me wrong. I like it. But um, do you need all this stuff on the surface?
Dean McCoppin
Well, um no actually.
Annie Hughes
Well just sort of--It seems kind of slapped on. You know, not as thought-out as this other piece.
Dean McCoppin
You like that one?
Annie Hughes
[Smiling]
Yeah.
General Rogard
[We cut back outside where General Rogard continues berating Kent.]
You'll be Chief Inspector of Subway Toilets by the time I'm finished with you! [Gets in the jeep] Now pack up. I expect you back in Washington to clear out your office. [Points to the road, signaling the soldier to drive away, leaving Kent alone.]
Kent Mansley
[defeated]
Yes, sir.
Annie Hughes
[Annie continues talking with Dean]
Hmm, I see why Hogarth sneaks out here.
Dean McCoppin
You mean, you know about that?
Annie Hughes
Aww, now I do.
Hogarth Hughes
[Hogarth watches through the window where the army jeeps leave.] [Waving]
Bye, Kent, and all that implies.
Dean McCoppin
[To Giant]
OK, you can move now. Nice job!
Boy #1
[We cut to the army jeeps driving, they were spotted by one of the boys who has holding binoculars.]
See, I told you it was a big hoax. Dad said-- [Another boy gasped upon seeing the giant robot]
Boy #2
Give me the binoculars.
Boy #1
What? What?
Boy #2
[Looks through the binoculars]
Hey, there it is. I see it! [The giant robot walks away] It's big. It's walking away.
Boy #1
[Takes the binoculars]
Give me those.
Boy #2
Over there. See it? See it?
Boy #1
[Surprised]
The monster! Holy cow!
Man
[The two boys suddenly fall off the balcony, they hold on each other. The wood falls on the ground and one of them almost hits the man.]
Watch it!
Boy #2
[Scared]
Help! Somebody help me! [The giant robot hears the boy's cry for help] I don't wanna fall! [The crowd from below see what's going on]
Boy #1
I'm slipping! I can't hold on much longer!
Boy #1
[The giant robot lands on the ground and the two boys fall off then they land on the robot's hand safely. The crowd felt surprised upon seeing the robot saving the boy's lives. Then they run to their dad.]
Dad!
Boy #2
Daddy! [They both hugged their father and he smiled at the robot]
Man
He saved those boys.
Woman
It's friendly.
Kent Mansley
[We cut to Dean and Hogarth riding on the motorcycle looking for the robot. As the army jeeps drive, Kent sees Dean and Hogarth ride by then he looks back at the robot. He gasps feeling shocked.]
What!? [Then he looks at the robot again] What!? [Then he bumped in front of the jeep and a jeep bumped from behind him. and his car is damaged.] Stop! Look! Look behind you! The giant, it's attacking! It's stomping the town! I was right! [General Rogard turns and sees the robot]
General Rogard
[Shocked]
Sweet Mother of God.
Kent Mansley
Look, stupid you!
Iron Giant
[Then we cut back to town where the robot smiled as the crowd looked at him. Hogarth and Dean arrived then Hogarth runs up to the robot he looks up at him feeling surprised.]
I am not a gun.
Hogarth Hughes
[Hogarth smiled and he went in the robot's hand then he picks him up. Annie arrived and see's Hogarth in the robot's hand feeling surprised.]
Hey, Mom.
Hogarth Hughes
[He smiled and waved at her. Dean and Annie looked at each other, Dean chuckled. But suddenly the fire bullet hits the robot in the back which causes him to groan in pain. The crowd reacts in shock the robot falls and hits the building. The army continues shooting the robot.] [Scared]
Let's get of here! Run!
Dean McCoppin
[The robot covers Hogarth safely with his hand and he starts running. General Rogard tried shooting the robot as Kent covers his ears. Dean arrives at the scene.]
Hey, stop! There's a kid in his hands! Stop shooting. [Kent walks up to Dean] You can't, he only reacts defensively. If you don't shoot, he's harmless. You gotta tell the general!
Kent Mansley
[Angrily]
This is all your fault. beatnik. If you--
Dean McCoppin
[Annoyed]
Would you shut up and listen! You gotta make them stop. The giant's got the kid with him.
Kent Mansley
I'll take care of him. [Dean rides away on his motorcycle. Kent speaks to General Rogard] He says the monster's killed a kid. Sir, we must stop it all costs.
General Rogard
[On walkie talkie]
Go to code red. Repeat, code red!
Guard
[The scene changes to the President's office where two guards come in.]
Mr. President, we have a situation, sir.
Soldier
[We cut to the Air Force jets take off, we cut back to town where Annie is in the car driving and she almost hit one of the army solders.]
Watch it, lady!
Hogarth Hughes
[The Air Force jets fly into the town of Rockwell as Annie continues driving and the giant robot continues running still holding Hogarth safely. The jets flew past the robot and Hogarth see's the bus below.] [Scared]
Look out for the bus! [The robot gasped and he tripped through the power lines then he slid off the cliff with Hogarth in his hand as he screamed. Then the rocket thrusters came on the bottom of his feet and he began to fly.] [Surprised] You can fly! [The robot went up high; happily] You can fly!
Annie Hughes
[Annie came out her car and she is shocked to see the robot fly up into the sky.]
Hogarth!
Hogarth Hughes
Try pointing your arms straight ahead, like Superman!
Iron Giant
[The robot holds out his arm and flies like Superman. He felt very happy but suddenly the jets flew past him and one of them start shooting. The robot got angry and he targeted the jet.] [covering his eyes to stop himself from firing the lasers]
No, no!
Jet Pilot
[The robot dodges the shooting to avoid getting hit.]
I've lost visual, Repeat I've lost visual!
Hogarth Hughes
Man, that was close! [Suddenly the blast hit the robot he falls down from the sky. Annie sees what happened.]
Annie Hughes
[Scared]
No!
Kent Mansley
[Kent sees the robot fall from the sky with his binoculars.]
Ha! I got you!
General Rogard
[The robot lands on the ground below and he groans. General Rogard looks through his binoculars.]
Good call, Mansley. Secure the area. Let's find out what this thing is and who sent it.
Soldier
[The army drives up to the robot. The robot recovers and sits up then he see's Hogarth unconscious and he gasped in shock. He tried to wake up Hogarth then he begins to mourn Hogarth. The army approaches him.]
It's still alive!
Kent Mansley
Just, shoot at it!
Soldier
[The army starts shooting at the robot. Then the robot gets angry and the dent disappears on his head. His eyes turn to red then he activated a gun and he shoots the combat vehicle. General Rogard and Kent are shocked to see what the robot did. His body activates more weapons.]
Retreat! Retreat!
Kent Mansley
Let's get out of here!
Annie Hughes
[The army drives away as the robot comes after them continuing to shoot. Annie comes out of the car and Dean arrives. Then they check on Hogarth who is unconscious.]
Hogarth!
Dean McCoppin
He's unconscious, but he's okay. Let's get him in the car.
Kent Mansley
[We cut back to where the army is fighting the robot.] [Screaming]
Drive, baby, drive! Step on it! Floor it! It's gaining on us. Faster! Faster! Hurry!
General Rogard
[The army went back to town as the robot keeps shooting then he hits the combat vehicles and General Rogard stops the jeep.] [On walkie talkie]
All battleships fire at the robot! [Sees the robot approach them] Now! Now, damn it, now! [The battleships shoot the robot and it hits the robot on the back. Then he heads for the battleships] Nothing can stop this thing! We've hit with everything we've got!
Kent Mansley
Not everything, general. The bomb. [General Rogard removes his glasses, looking speechless] The Nautilus first strike capability is not far off shore.
General Rogard
[narrowing his eyes; softly]
You scare me, Mansley. You want us to bomb ourselves in order to kill it?
Kent Mansley
General, the giant seems to follow whatever attacks it. We can lure it away from the town, then destroy it.
General Rogard
[To soldier]
Radio the Nautilus, tell it to target the robot and await my command.
