Miss Bianca [whilst Wilbur drinks from a can of cream soda]
We must leave tonight.
[spit takes]
Tonight?! [coughs; laughs] Come on. You're kiddin' me, right? [laughs; opens his window] Have ya looked outside? It's suicide out there! [laughs; closes window] Oh, no. Ohhhhhhh, no! I'm afraid your jolly little holiday will have to wait. [laughs] What a bunch of jokers!
Miss Bianca But you don't understand. A boy needs our help. He's in trouble!
Boy? You mean, "little kid" kinda boy?
Miss Bianca He was kidnapped!
Kidnapped? Oh! That-that's awful! Lockin' up a little kid... Kids should be free! Free to run wild through the house on Saturday mornings, free to have cookies and milk, and get those little white moustaches, you know, the-- Nobody's gonna take a kid's freedom while I'm around! Nobody ain't! Hear me?!
Bianca Does that mean you'll take us?
Storm or no storm, Albatross Airlines, [salutes] at your service!
Now we just.... gotta figure out how to get there.
So, ah... you and your umm... husband here on a little outback excursion?
Bianca Oh no, no, we're not married.
In fact we're, we're here on a, a top ah.. secret mission. Very... very.. hush, hush.
Oh! Gotta rescue that kid McLeach nabbed eh?
Bianca Why that's right! How did you know?
[he bumps Bernard out of the way; whispering to Bianca]
You'll find it's tough to keep secrets in the outback miss. So, um, which way are we taking, uh, Suicide Trail through Nightmare Canyon, or the shortcut at Satan's Ridge?
Good choice! More snakes, less quicksand. Then once you cross Bloodworm Creek, you're scot free, that is until, um... Dead Dingo Pass.
[puzzled]
Wait, wait, wait a minute, I don't.... I don't see any, any of that, that stuff on the map.
A map's no good in the outback! [folding up the map] What you really need is someone, [schmoozing to Bianca) someone who KNOWS the territory.
Bianca Oh Mister Jake, will you guide us?
At your service! (he bows and shoves the map behind him into Bernard's gut.) Here better take my arm miss it's gonna be a treacherous hike. [beginning to tell a story] I remember the time Miss B. it was just me and four hundred of these big giant.....
Doesn't even know how to fold a map....
[the rangers are at Crocodile Falls searching the water; then we see Bernard, Miss Bianca and Jake on a wombat in a tree getting ready to jump.]
This is how we get around in the outback Miss B. The only way to travel, eh Berno?
Ah yeah, yeah, it's just a little, a little ah.. bumpy back here.
[Bernard is bobbing along on the tail; the wombat climbs to the top of the tree and jumps.]
Cinch up your seatbelts mates, we're comin' in for a landing. [the flying squirrel lands on a small bush; Jake and Miss Bianca get off the wombat; however the bush isn't exactly stable yet...]
Hold it, not, not yet!! [Bernard gets launched into a patch of briars.]
[Cody runs to the edge, stops, looks down, and begins to climb down.]
He's going down the cliff! C'mon, we gotta warn him! [Cody arrives at the nest; sees the eggs; checks them out; he covers them up, and places one of the golden feathers on them.]
Bianca Cody!
Bianca Oh, there is no time to explain, you're in GREAT danger.
[Marahute's screech is heard at a distance]
Marahute?! It can't be!
Bianca Oh Cody, Cody wait!!
[sees Marahute]
She's alive!!
Bianca Cody, please!! You MUST listen!!
That's right, Mc.. McLeach is on the cliff.
[looks up and sees McLeach's truck, begins to yells and plead]
Marahute, NO!!! Turn back!! [?]' Turn back!! [?]' Stay away!! [?] It's a trap!! [McLeach launches the trap; Marahute is caught in it.]
I got her!!! [?] I got her!!! Did you see that?! [laughs] Perfect shot!! Per-fect shot! She's mine!! [laughs] All mine!!!!
NO!!! [Cody jumps for the trap/bundle as it is hoisted up; Jake lassos Cody's foot.]
Hold tight you 2, we're going for a ride! [Bernard misses the rope]
Bianca Bernard! [Cody begins to cut the ropes on the trap.]
[grumbles]
...Meddlin' brats. Gonna get rid of him for good. [McLeach tries to shake Cody off.]
Bianca [?]
Cody, don't move!! [Jake throws a rope and lassos Cody's foot.]
Okay, that's it! This evil poacher is going down! If it's a last thing I do!
[hoists the whole group up and drops them into his cage; laughs; whispering]
There she is Joanna.... just look at her.... look at the size of her... the RAREST bird in the world. That bird's gonna make me rich... [chuckles] FILTHY rich. [laughs; announcing] I got what I want. Now, what does Joanna want? Does she wanna make sure that bird... STAYS rare? [egging her on] How about some great, big, triple A, jumbo, eagle eggs!!! Eh?! You want 'em?! Eh?! You want 'em? Go get 'em girl!!
NO!! Please!! [Joanna runs for the cliff, sees how far down it is and balks in fear.]
[mocking]
Why, whatever is the matter Joanna? [She points down; McLeach kicks her over the edge.] Git!! [Joanna goes down to eat the eggs; she searches the nest for them; finds the eggs; takes a bite of one; it is rock hard; she tries another with the same result; she drops one egg on the other which lands on her tail and she shrieks in pain, screaming from on top of cliff] OW! Jake! You bit me! That HURTS!! [Jake: Leave eagle eggs alone, OR I'LL NEVER LEAVE THE WATERFALL EVER *AGAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!*] JOANNA!!! [?] You hurry up and eat those eggs and get your tail up here! MOVE IT!! [Joanna moves the "eggs" to the edge; knocks them over the cliff with her tail; she yanks on the rope for McLeach to bring he up; as she does, another rock falls that looks like an egg; Bernard comes out of hiding.]
[to the eggs]
O.k. you guys, she fell for it. Looks like the coast is clear.
[flying in to Marahute's nest]
Girls? Girls, I'm here! [laughs] Where are you, you little chickees you? [laugh]
[puzzled at first]
Wilbur? [louder] Wilbur!
[screams and falls off the edge and gets McLeach]
Don't EVER do that to me again! Oh... boy... I lost a lot of feathers on that one.
Wilbur am I glad to see you! Give me a hand with these eggs will ya? [rolling the eggs out of hiding.]
Yeah, sure. Wait a minute.... what the heck are you doing up here anyway?
The kidnapper took the boy and Jake.... Miss Bianca.
Miss Bianca?? Miss Bianca's in trouble?!? Woah! Geez! That's terrible! We gotta do something! [chastising] Bernard, I'm disappointed in you. Hidin' under a nest while Miss Bianca needs our help. I gotta talk to you mister...
[fumbling]
You should start searchin' the desert for her, and I'll scan the coastline!
That's what I'll do.... I'll ask the chicks on the beach.
Wilbur!
Wilbur: Huh? What?!
Now listen! [Bernard points to the eggs] There's some chicks right here that need your help.
Really? [Bernard sits on an egg, and pats it.] Oh no.... wait a minute... hold it.... I know what you're thinkin' and you're wrong. Don't even.... no... [Bernard gives him a stare] don't look at me like that! You're gettin' no from me! You understand? No! I will not.. EVER sit on those eggs! [scene changes to Wilbur sitting on the eggs] Aww... nuts! [sigh]... [to himself] Gotta learn to be more assertive. No is no is NO. [to the eggs] Hey, guys, quit movin' in there!
