His fangs are sharp. He likes your taste. Your party better move posthaste.
Judy Shepherd I don't like the sound of that.
Are you my little sister?
Judy Shepherd No. I'm Judy and he's Peter.
Judy Shepherd What happened to you? You shave with a piece of glass?
What happened to you? The Clampetts have a yard sale?
Judy Shepherd A law of Jumanji has been broken. It will set back more than your token.
You tried to cheat?
I tried to drop the dice so they would land on twelve.
Judy We barely even knew our parents. They were always away. Skiing in St. Moritz, gambling in Monte Carlo, safariing in darkest Africa. We didn't even know if they loved us. But when the sheik's yacht went down, they managed to write us a really beautiful goodbye note that was found floating in a champagne bottle amongst the debris.
Mrs. Thomas [it transitions to 26 years later. Mrs. Thomas and Nora enter the mansion.]
I think a bed-and-breakfast is just what this town needs.
Well, it's pretty hard to pass up, especially full of furniture. Oh, boy! I keep forgetting how big this place is. Judy, Peter, come look at this. I'm gonna put a reception area over here. And a bar over here in the parlor.
Mrs. Thomas That sounds lovely. I'm sure you and your kids are gonna be very happy here.
Oh. Well, actually, they're my late brother's. He and his wife passed away just last winter. Is this something, or what?
Judy Shepherd It sure is.
Mrs. Thomas So, what do you think, young man? Is it big enough for you?
Judy Shepherd Peter hasn't spoken a word since it happened.
Mrs. Thomas Oh, my. I'm so sorry. How terribly awful.
Judy Shepherd It's okay. We barely even knew our parents. They were always away-- skiing in Saint Moritz, gambling in Monte Carlo, safariing in darkest Africa. We didn't even know if they loved us. But when the sheik's yacht went down, well, they managed to write us a really beautiful good-bye note that was found floating in a champagne bottle amongst the debris. Excuse me. [laughing, shaking her head and walking away as she knowingly told Mrs. Thomas a lie]
They were very devoted parents. It was a car crash in Canada. So you'll send me those escrow papers?
Mrs. Thomas First thing tomorrow.
[trying to unlock Alan's room]
I'll have to get a locksmith out for this one. Peter, pick up your toys, please. Peter, take this suitcase up to the attic. Then we can all have ice cream...and bourbon.
Judy Shepherd I'm going to Motel 6.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
Exterminator [cut to the next day]
I don't see any guano.
Judy Shepherd [consulting a book]
He said it looked like that.
Exterminator That's an African bat. Some kid said she saw a bunch of those back in the '60s. But we don't get bats like that in New England.
Judy Shepherd But that's what he saw.
Exterminator Well, whatever it was is gone now. Bats aren't what I'd worry about in this house any ways.
Judy Shepherd What would you worry about?
Exterminator Well, personally I wouldn't wanna live in a house where someone was murdered.
Judy Shepherd Murdered?
Exterminator Yep. Little Alan Parrish. I say his father did it. There's a thousand and one places he could have hid the body in this house. Especially if he chopped it up first.
Hey, up there! You kids don't wanna be late for your first day of school.
Exterminator Not a bat in sight, ma'am.
Ya hear that? There is nothing to be afraid of in this house.
[Nora, Peter and Judy are at the table eating dinner]
I can't believe I have to see your principal after the first day. What am I gonna do? Let's just try to relax and finish our dinner and talk about something else.
Judy Shepherd Well, we found out why you got this house so cheap. 26 years ago, a kid named Alan Parrish used to live here. Then one day, he just disappeared 'cause his parents chopped him up in little pieces and hid him in the walls.
[To Judy, putting her foot down]
Okay, that's it. I'm sick and tired of your lies, young lady, you're grounded. [Judy gets up and leaves]
Judy Shepherd Fine. There's nowhere to go in this stupid town anyway. And just for your information, that wasn't a lie.
Judy Shepherd [Peter and Judy are lying in bed]
Did you hear anything a little while ago?
Do you miss Mom and Dad?
Judy Shepherd No.
Liar. If you don't cut that out, they're gonna send you to a shrink.
Judy Shepherd Where do you think they're gonna send you if you don't start talking?
I said, red fur and long tail.
[Alan jumps up on Carl’s cop car]
Get down off of my car, please. And get up on the sidewalk.
What year is it?
It was brand new.
No. What year is it?
Judy Shepherd Uh, 1995, remember?
'95.
You got some I.D.? Oh, let me guess. You left it in your other Tarzan outfit, right?
Twenty-six years.
Are you from around here?
I was! But I've been in Jumanji.
Judy Shepherd Indonesia. He was in the the Peace Corps.
[looking at Carl's badge and whispering to himself]
Bentley. Carl Bentley, the Soleman.
Judy Shepherd Yes, sir. He's our uncle.
Does he always dress like that?
Judy Shepherd Well, yeah, he's a vegetarian.
[notices 2 monkeys inside Carl's car]
Get out of there! [Screeches and makes monkey noises; to Judy, Peter, and Carl] Monkeys! Monkeys.
Judy Shepherd Uh, he suffered a head injury a few months ago.
[the monkeys discharge the shotgun and drive away]
Hey! Hey-- What? Don't you move! Freeze! Hey!
Don't move. Don't move.
Judy Shepherd Hey, wait a minute! Where are you going?
To find my parents!
Judy Shepherd [to Peter]
Come on. [She and Peter follow Alan]
Judy Shepherd [?]
Wait!
[they arrive at the factory, which is now rundown]
My dad used to make shoes here. They were the best shoes in New England. [barges into the office] Hey! Sorry.
Shoe Factory Bum [his dog attempts to get up, but he stops her]
Easy, girl.
Sorry. Do you know what happened to this shoe factory?
Shoe Factory Bum Yeah, it folded up, like everything else in this town. Hey, it's pretty cold out there. How 'bout some coffee?
Why would they close Parrish Shoes?
Shoe Factory Bum Well, when his kid ran away, Sam put all he had into trying to find him. His time, his money. Everything. After a while, he stopped comin' to work. He just quit caring. I don't think anybody loved his boy more than Sam did. Here. You're gonna freeze out there. [gives him some clothes]
Thank you. Are the Parrishes still around?
Shoe Factory Bum I see 'em now and then.
Yeah?
Shoe Factory Bum They're over on Adams Street.
Judy Shepherd [they’re now standing in front of Carol and Sam’s grave]
Our parents are dead too. They were in the Middle East negotiating peace when--
I bet you miss him, huh? Me too.
Judy Shepherd [Alan places his hat on the headstone and walks away]
There he goes again.
Judy Shepherd Ready?
Yeah.
Judy Shepherd Alan, ready?
There is no "ready." [Judy rolls the dice. Nothing happened]
Judy Shepherd I'll try it again. [Judy rolls the dice again. Nothing happened] It's not working.
Oh, no. It's not your turn.
Judy Shepherd Yeah. I rolled first and then Peter twice 'cause he got doubles, and now it's my turn again.
No, look. Two of those pieces are yours, right? Whose are the other pieces? The elephant was mine. You're playing the game I started in 1969. I'm gonna have to play. It's not my turn.
Judy Shepherd Whose turn is it?
Sarah Whittle. [All 3 walk up to a Tudor-style house] This is where she used to live.
This place gives me the creeps.
We used to play on this porch. I knew she still wouldn't live here. Probably married Billy Jessup and they're living in a trailer park. Come on, let's go.
Judy Shepherd Maybe she'll know where Sarah went.
Of course she'll know where Sarah went. She's a psychic.
Good point. I remember the porch being bigger.
Judy Shepherd [knocks on the door]
Hello? Um, can you help us?
Do you have an appointment?
Judy Shepherd No, we're just trying to find someone.
Madam Serena can't see you right now.
Maybe you can help us.
We're looking for someone who used to live here.
Judy Shepherd Well, then you must know Sarah Whittle.
Sarah?
No, I don't go by that name anymore.
What do you want?
26 years ago, you played a game with a little boy down the street. A game with drums.
How do you know that?
I was that little boy, Sarah.
Alan... [she faints]
Gun Salesman [Van Pelt walks into a gun shop and places his gun on the counter]
What can I do for you?
I want a gross of these. [hands him a bullet]
Gun Salesman You know, they stopped making these in 1903.
Damn. I shall need a replacement weapon.
Gun Salesman Well, there's a waiting period, and you'll have to... fill out these. [he places a stack of forms on the counter as Van Pelt drops some coins] Or I could fill these out. Louise. [Louise stops what she's doing and changes the "Open" sign to "Closed".] [hands Van Pelt a new gun] Now, anyone asks, you didn't get this here. You're not a postal worker, are you? [Van Pelt looks at the salesman as if to say, "are you crazy"?]
Alan!
Alan!
Quiet. Okay. No!
Sarah and Judy
Peter!
Judy Shepherd [Peter has successfully gotten the game back]
Peter, that was great.
Are you okay?
Judy Shepherd I can't believe you did that. That was so cool. You gave me chills.
It was great. Alan.
It's nice work. Come on, gimme the game. Let's go.
Hey!
Hide the game.
I don't believe this. Every time there's trouble, I run into you.
Me? I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm not going anywhere.
Just a second. You can't take him. He's--
Judy Shepherd Her fiancé.
Wait a minute, I thought you said he was your uncle.
It's all right. I'll be back soon.
Remember you said you'd never abandon your friends?
We'll finish the game later. Okay?
Later?
Van Pelt. Van Pelt.
I suggest you all go home now.
Okay.
Judy Shepherd Now how are we supposed to finish the game?
We can't. We can't finish it without him.
Judy Shepherd What?
What happened?
I thought I could end the game myself. I was only ten spaces away.
Judy Shepherd [Reads a notice in the center of the board]
"A law of Jumanji having been broken; you will slip back even more than your token."
You tried to cheat?
No. I tried to drop the dice so they'd land on 12.
Oh, okay, honey. Well, that would be cheating.
Judy Shepherd Peter, your hands! Look at your hands!
[The magic from Jumanji turns Peter into a Monkey due to cheating]
Ray, come in, this is Willie. They cleaned out Larry's Hardware, and they're headed for Parrish Common. I can't stop 'em, Lorraine. You gotta get the National Guard down here now!
What is this about? I know you know.
Yes, I do, but you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, Carl.
Wait a minute. How do you know my name is Carl?
I know a lot more than that. I know you used to work on the stamping line at Parrish Shoes. They used to call you Soleman.
Soleman. Yeah, that's right. I was in there too, until old man Parrish fired me.
He fired you?
Yeah, man. And I had something I could've turned this whole town around.
Your shoes.
Right.
Listen, Carl, I know it doesn't mean much after 26 years, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
It's me, Alan. [screeches to a halt]
Thank you. Come on.
Judy Shepherd What's going on?
Apparently there's a sale happening. [monkeys on a police motorcycle ride by] You just saw three monkeys go by on a motorcycle, didn't you?
Judy Shepherd Yes.
Good girl. Come on. [they go up to an ATM but discover it's out of service] Well, maybe we can bail him out with a check.
Thanks. You tell that sniveling coward from me, if he wants-- Hey! Get out of my way!
[Peter is trapped in a car due to a rhino crushing it]
Hey! Help me! Get me outta here!
It's all right.
Judy Shepherd Oh, my God, Peter.
Come on. [They run to Sir Sav-a-Lot.]
Judy Shepherd [spots the game on a counter]
There it is!
He doesn't know I'm here, so this isn't gonna work. I'm going.
Don't move or I'll blow your blinking brains out!
Call the cops!
That should do it, don't ya think?
Oh, yeah.
Judy Shepherd [uses the scanner to temporarily blind Van Pelt]
Price check!
If you let me go, I can stop all this. It sounds like something out of the Twilight Zone, but it's true. Please. You gotta help me on this.
[removing the handcuffs]
I know I'm gonna regret it. Just hold still. There. I let you go. Now what are we gon’ do? [throws the handcuff keys and handcuffs Carl to the door]
You are gonna stay here.
Those are my keys!
It's for your own good. You just stay there.
My handcuff keys. Wait.
This is something I have to do.
Alan!
You'll thank me someday.
Hostage situation at Sir Sav-a-Lot involving a woman and two children. Sounds like the armed perpetrator in the pith helmet and khakis you reported. Carl? Come in, Carl.
Lorraine, come in. Lorraine!
What's Sir Sav-a-lot?
It's a discount store.
Move over.
Wait. Gently.
All right. Don't worry. I've done this before once.
Where's Sir Sav-a-Lot?
Monroe and Elm.
The Episcopal church.
No, it's not a church anymore. Now it's a Speedy Burger, or at least it was. I don't know what's left of it. People in this town are goin' loopy.
Judy!
We got company.
It's all right. That's a traffic cop. He'll back us up. [The same monkeys from before ride up]
Judy Shepherd Here's the game.
Come on. Get outta here.
[?]
Come on. Okay, it's my turn. I've got it. Colonel Mustard in the library with a wrench. Clue.
[Alan rolls a 7 and the elephant game piece moves seven spaces, nearly reaching the crystal ball.]
"Beware the ground on which you stand, the floor is quicker than the sand."
Alan!
Help me.
Okay. Stay calm. Don't struggle. Stay calm.
I'm calm.
Judy Shepherd Alan! Grab on!
Pull. Okay, I got it. Pull!
Stay calm!
Come on.
Oh, good! I got you.
Stop giving me things that come apart!
Judy Shepherd "There is a lesson--"
All right.
Judy Shepherd "There is a lesson you will learn:
I got you.
Judy Shepherd sometimes you must go back a turn." [the floor becomes quicksand; Sarah tries to pull Alan up, but also gets stuck]
Did I hurt you?
Oh, no.
Oh, dear.
Oh, thank you, Judy. Thank you. That was quick thinking. Sarah and I would like to get out of the floor, so it's your turn, Peter.
Okay.
I thought I lost you again.
Thanks for stickin' around this time.
"Need a hand while you just wait, we'll help you out, we each have…eight?"
Nothing. Waah!
You don't go "Waah!" for nothing.
Oh, my.
Peter! My dad kept an axe in the woodshed. Go get it.
Okay.
Hurry! Go, go, go!
Judy Shepherd [Peter runs out to the woodshed. He picks up the axe trying to open the shed with said axe; he then breaks the fourth wall by looking at the camera and then runs back inside.]
Sarah!
Judy? Peter?
Aunt Nora, it's me, Peter.
[shocked at Peter's appearance and seeing Alan’s legs protruding from the ceiling]
Oh, God! [she backs into the closet]
Sorry, I can't talk right now. I'll explain later. [locks her in the closet]
[Last lines; Alan and Sarah throw the game into the river.]
I'm starting to forget what it's like to be a grown-up.
Young Alan Parrish
That's okay. As long as we don't forget each other.
Or Judy and Peter. Alan, there's something I've been wanting to do and I better do it before I feel too much like a kid. [She kisses him]
Young Alan Parrish
They probably don't teach driver training in the sixth grade, huh?
All
[Fade to 1995 where Alan and Sarah are hosting a Parrish Shoe Company Christmas party. Alan and Sarah are now married and expecting a child, as Sarah is shown to be pregnant]
God and sinners reconciled. Joyful all ye nations rise. Join the triumph of the skies.
Merry Christmas. Wanna try one of these?
All
Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark, The herald angels sing
[on the phone, to Sam]
No, Dad. It's a new cross-trainer. It's doing fabulous. It's not a bra. It's a shoe.
Honey, they're here.
Dad, I gotta run. Merry Christmas. We'll pick you up at the airport. You'll be the best Christmas gift of all. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. They're here.
Come on. Let's go.
Pardon me. Jim, glad you could make it.
Jim Shepherd
Thanks. This is my wife, Martha.
Hi, Martha. This is Sarah.
Martha Shepherd
Hi, Sarah.
Jim Shepherd
Where are the kids?
Oh, my God, there they are.
Martha Shepherd
How'd you know?
A guess. A guess, of course. They're your kids.
Jim Shepherd
You're right. These are our children. Judy and Peter. Kids, say hi to Mr. and Mrs. Parrish.
Nice to meet you.
Judy Shepherd Nice to meet you.
You're just like we remembered you. I feel like we know so much about them because, you know--
You've told Alan so much about them.
And I told her.
Yeah.
I'll go get the presents.
Sure, honey. Well, we love children.
Merry Christmas.
Cool!
So, when can you start?
Jim Shepherd
Well, actually, Martha and I were thinking of taking a little skiing holiday in the Canadian Rockies.
Alan and Sarah
No! [all chatter stops]
Sorry. We-- We just--
Need you to get that marketing done on the new line… pronto.
Jim Shepherd
No problem. I could probably start next week. That'd be great.
Let me introduce you to the rest of the folks you'll be working with. Come on in. Our house was your house. Is, anytime you like.
All
We wish you a merry Christmas. We wish you a merry Christmas. We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year
French speaking Girl
[fade to a distant beach where the game has washed up]
What's that noise?
