M Miss Magruder
[Fade to 1969: BRANTFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE; Young Alan Parrish is riding through Brantford on his bike]
Hi, Alan.
F Frank
Good afternoon, Alan.
B Bill
All yours, Alan. [holds traffic for him]
BJ Billy Jessup
[Billy and his goons see Alan riding and decide to chase him on their bikes]
Get him!
BJ Billy Jessup
Prepare to die, Parrish! Hey, Parrish, what's the rush?
B Bully
He's goin' to his dad's factory! Alan wants his daddy now!
BJ Billy Jessup
[Alan rides up to the factory, drops his bike and heads inside]
Go ahead, Parrish. Run to Daddy. We'll be waiting.
[Alan closes the door and breathes a sigh of relief] [he walks upstairs to see Carl]
Hi, Carl.
Carl Bentley Hey, Alan, my man, I gotta show you somethin'. Come here. Now, I've been workin' on this for almost a year. I got an appointment this afternoon with your father to show him this. [shows him the prototype of the shoe he's been working on] Go ahead. Take it. So what do ya think? Ya think he'll like it?
Carl Bentley What is it? Man, this is the future. If I can get Wilt Chamberlain to wear 'em... I predict there'll be a pair of those in every closet in America. That's gonna be the height of fashion. [concerned] What's wrong?
[Alan looks outside to see Jessup and his gang circling around]
Nothin'.
[Alan absent-mindedly places the prototype on the conveyor belt]
Alan! Thanks, Bob. What are you doing here? I've told you before. This factory isn't a playground. It's dangerous.
Dad, can I have a ride home? [The belt starts up]
Look, Alan. Is Billy Jessup picking on you again? Son, you're gonna have to face him sooner or later. Look, if you're afraid of something, you've got to stand and face it. Now, run on, son. Carl, you should know better than to let the boy play in here.
Carl Bentley Sorry, sir.
Now, what was it you wanted to show me?
Carl Bentley Just a minute, sir. [looking for the shoe]
What the devil-- [the shoe has been shredded]
M Man
Get an extinguisher.
Who did this? Well? [Alan walks down the stairs as Sam pulls what’s left of the shoe off the belt]
Carl Bentley [covering for Alan]
I did, sir.
Carl Bentley [calling dispatch in his cruiser]
Gimme that description again.
I said, red fur and long tail.
Carl Bentley [Alan jumps up on Carl’s cop car]
Get down off of my car, please. And get up on the sidewalk.
Carl Bentley It was brand new.
Carl Bentley You got some I.D.? Oh, let me guess. You left it in your other Tarzan outfit, right?
Carl Bentley Are you from around here?
I was! But I've been in Jumanji.
Indonesia. He was in the the Peace Corps.
[looking at Carl's badge and whispering to himself]
Bentley. Carl Bentley, the Soleman.
Carl Bentley [About Alan, still dressed in jungle garb]
Is this man related to you?
Yes, sir. He's our uncle.
Carl Bentley Does he always dress like that?
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.
Carl Bentley [Taps at his temple]
Is he all right upstairs?
Uh, he suffered a head injury a few months ago.
Carl Bentley [the monkeys discharge the shotgun and drive away]
Hey! Hey-- What? Don't you move! Freeze! Hey!
Hey, wait a minute! Where are you going?
[to Peter]
Come on. [She and Peter follow Alan]
[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.
SF 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?
SF 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?
SF 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?
SF Shoe Factory Bum
I see 'em now and then.
SF Shoe Factory Bum
They're over on Adams Street.
[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--
[glares at Judy]
Our dad was in advertising.
I bet you miss him, huh? Me too.
[Alan places his hat on the headstone and walks away]
There he goes again.
GS 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]
GS Gun Salesman
You know, they stopped making these in 1903.
Damn. I shall need a replacement weapon.
GS 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"?]
[Peter has successfully gotten the game back]
Peter, that was great.
I can't believe you did that. That was so cool. You gave me chills.
It's nice work. Come on, gimme the game. Let's go.
[Carl notices Alan]
Oh, no. Act natural.
Carl Bentley Hey!
Carl Bentley I don't believe this. Every time there's trouble, I run into you.
Me? I don't know what you're talking about.
Carl Bentley [arresting Alan]
All right, I'm taking you in for questioning.
Just a second. You can't take him. He's--
Carl Bentley Wait a minute, I thought you said he was your uncle.
It's all right. I'll be back soon.
[fails to shoot Alan]
Blast!
Remember you said you'd never abandon your friends?
We'll finish the game later. Okay?
Carl Bentley I suggest you all go home now.
Now how are we supposed to finish the game?
We can't. We can't finish it without him.
[Has set the game on a stump and rolled the dices]
Judy! [Sarah and Judy run over]
I thought I could end the game myself. I was only ten spaces away.
[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."
No. I tried to drop the dice so they'd land on 12.
Oh, okay, honey. Well, that would be cheating.
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!
Carl Bentley What is this about? I know you know.
Yes, I do, but you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, Carl.
Carl Bentley 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.
Carl Bentley Soleman. Yeah, that's right. I was in there too, until old man Parrish fired me.
Carl Bentley Yeah, man. And I had something I could've turned this whole town around.
Carl Bentley Right.
Listen, Carl, I know it doesn't mean much after 26 years, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Carl Bentley Sorry for what?
It's me, Alan. [screeches to a halt]
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?
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!
[?] [takes the game back]
Give me that, boy!
[Peter is trapped in a car due to a rhino crushing it]
Hey! Help me! Get me outta here!
Come on. [They run to Sir Sav-a-Lot.]
[spots the game on a counter]
There it is!
[she goes to retrieve it]
Wait here.
[catches Sarah]
Got ya, girlie. When Alan hears of your predicament, he'll come.
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!
That should do it, don't ya think?
[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.
Carl Bentley [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]
Carl Bentley Those are my keys!
It's for your own good. You just stay there.
Carl Bentley My handcuff keys. Wait.
This is something I have to do.
Carl Bentley Alan!
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.
Carl Bentley Lorraine, come in. Lorraine!
Carl Bentley It's a discount store.
Carl Bentley Wait. Gently.
All right. Don't worry. I've done this before once.
Carl Bentley Monroe and Elm.
Carl Bentley 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.
Carl Bentley It's all right. That's a traffic cop. He'll back us up. [The same monkeys from before ride up]
Carl Bentley [?]
Turn the siren off. Right there!
Carl Bentley Okay!
Stop your cringing, woman. I could have shot you at any moment.
You didn't roll the dice. Alan did.
Carl Bentley There it is. Hit the brakes. Hit the brakes!
Carl Bentley Hit the brakes!
He should be here any moment.
[the car plows into the store knocking shelves over and burying Van Pelt in paint cans]
Sarah! You're all right?
SH Self-help tape
So remember, circumstances are never ever out of your control. End of tape three.
To update on the events unfolding in Brantford, New Hampshire where at least 98 people have been hospitalized with symptoms ranging from fevers and rashes to violent seizures. Local resources have been strained to the breaking point. State health officials are asking anyone experiencing symptoms to dial 9-1-1. [Nora gets out of the car and witnesses zebras, elephants, and rhinos run by. As they do this, a monkey jumps into the car. She shuts the door and drives off. The monkey screeches, startling her and she drives into a ditch]
Carl Bentley [using a hacksaw to free himself from the door]
I got it.
Alan, talk to him. Please?
What? We don't have time for this, okay?
I know, but he's a kid and he was trying to help.
[to Peter]
I warned you about this, Peter. No, you wanted to play the game. What, are you crying? You don't cry, all right? You keep your chin up. Keep your chin up. Crying never helped anybody do anything, okay? You have a problem, you face it like a man.
I'm sorry. Twenty-six years buried in the jungle and I still became my father. It's okay. Come here. I'm sorry. Hey. It's all right. Remember what you told me? It's all right to be afraid.
What is it? [whispers in Alan's ear] Okay. Ready? [pulls Peter's tail out of his pants] Don't worry. We're gonna have you turned back into your old self in no time flat. 'Cause we're gonna go in here, and together, we're gonna sit down, we're gonna finish that game, no matter what. [The house has turned into a swamp] Suddenly, I feel right at home.
Carl Bentley Lorraine, this is Carl. I know who's behind this. I'm headin' to the Parrish place. Gimme backup. Lorraine?
Carl Bentley Now what?
Carl Bentley Is there a problem, ma'am?
Carl Bentley Where do you live?
Jefferson Street. The old Parrish place.
Carl Bentley Do you have children? A boy and a girl?
Oh, my God! What happened?
Carl Bentley Get in. I'll explain it on the way. [a vine from the game has taken Carl's cop car] Fine! Take it! We gotta get to that house.
