All language subtitles for Dinotopia.PART.1.2002.1080p.BluRay.x264-YELLOWBiRD

- My dearest granddaughter,

by the time you read this,

you will no doubt have
grown into a confident

and beautiful young woman.

Your journey will not be an easy one.

You will be expected to show courage

and face many challenges
which may threaten

to destroy our world.

But you are not alone,
Marion, and help will come

in unexpected ways and
from unfamiliar faces.

And as the darkness
descends around Dinotopia,

never allow it to overwhelm you.

Instead, follow your heart
and prepare to fulfil

your destiny as matriarch.

Find the light.

- I hate flying.

- This'll be a treat,
David, we're gonna go

island hopping, you're
gonna love it, I promise.

- Let's just leave him behind, dad,

he's gonna be like this all day

- I agree with Karl, I was happier

reading back at the villa.

- You're not gonna be sitting

in your room reading,
David, you're gonna be

out doing something.

There, we're all set.

Come on, Karl, fly the plane.

Now this is very important you keep

your air speed above 140.

. Okay-

This is so cool.

- He's flying the plane.

- Yeah, I see.

- You wake me up 20
minutes before landing.

- What?

- It's all right, David, I
think I know what I'm doing.

What is that?

- What?

- That, there, what is that?

You see that?

Wake up, Dad, Dad!

- Where'd that come from?

Hang on, we're gonna turn and
try and outrun this thing.

Get your belts on.

- Dad!

We're going out of control.

Pull it up, pull it up!

- Hang on!

It's sucking us in, hang on!

Brace yourselves!

Come on!

Go for the door.

- Open the door!

Dad, Dad!

- Karl!

Karl!

Where's Dad?

- I couldn't get him out!

- What are we gonna do?

- Follow me.

- Where are we?

What is this place?

- I don't know,
Davey, I don't know.

- Karl, what are we doing?

We should have just stayed with the plane.

- We didn't have a choice,
David, we would have drowned.

- We just left him.

- I tried, there was nothing I could do.

What happened happened.

Now, if we can find some help, a phone,

maybe there's a chance.

- Where do you think we are?

- I don't know, all these
islands look the same to me.

- I don't believe this,
we've been walking for hours

and nothing, no people, no houses,

not even a road to follow.

- Let's get going, we're bound

to find someone somewhere.

- Do you see that?

- What the hell is that?

- I dunno.

Whatever it is, looks kind of creepy.

- Sorry, sorry, apologies.

Sincere apologies for any inconvenience,

I have permission from
the Volcaneum council

to explore ancient sites.

The hope of finding unused sunstones,

it's all in order, I have the papers.

Well well well, hello, boys.

Sorry, you gave me a
bit of a fright there.

- Oh, we gave you a fright?

- Unless I'm very much mistaken

you're something of a rarity, eh?

Have you just arrived?

- Uh, yes.

- Splendid!

I knew it!

Newcomers.

- So where are we exactly?

- Dinotopia.

Oh, you'll be the talk of the place.

It's not every day we get new arrivals.

- Dinotopia?

Where is that?

- Listen, can I use your cell phone?

- What?

- You know, a telephone.

We need to call the
Coast Guard right away.

We were in a storm, our plane crashed.

Our father, he's missing.

We've got to get some help.

- Ah, you want a postal bird,

I'm afraid I can't help you there.

- Postal bird?

- Postal Bird.

- What were you doing up there anyway?

- Oh, just a bit of archaeology.

- You're the first Archaeologist
I've met who uses dynamite.

- Yes, well I have a number of occupations

to be honest with you.

I'm something of an independent spirit

which can get a man into
trouble around here.

Mm, oh, fancy a livener?

- No thanks.

- Go on.

Well for what it's worth and
for no extra cost I offer you

the eternal friendship of
Cyrus Crabb, that's me.

Well, wasting me time here.

This place's been picked
clean with a fine tooth comb.

You got anything you want to swap?

Rings, watches, no?

Well if it's any use to
you boys I'll escort you to

the Chandara bus depot.

I'm catching the bus there
myself in about half an hour,

fancy that?

- Alright.

- Follow me.

- So, how big is Dinotopia?

- Not that big.

Couple of hundred miles across.

- Two hundred miles?

How come we've never
heard about it before?

- Well we're a little cut off
from the rest of the world.

- Look at this place.

I mean these people.

- Come on.

- This is really...

- Weird.

- Well no, just...

- You don't think this is weird?

- Look at the signs What
kind of markings are those?

- What's that sound?

Is it an animal?

- Scalator.

- What's going on?

What is that?

Come on!

- Hey, hey, hey it's all right, come on,

calm down, calm down.

Don't panic.

- It can't be.

- It's a dinosaur.

Dinosaurs died off millions of years ago.

- If only, my boy, if only.

- It's coming right for us.

- Yep, time to say farewell, I think.

Oh, there she is.

I thought she'd turn
up at a time like this.

- Who is she?

- Come on boys.

- What's she doing?

- Fun's over.

- She must be crazy.

- Easy now.

- She's nuts.

- Calm down, boy
don't worry about her.

- Calm down.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Toothache.

Wow, that was amazing.

- She's Dinotopian, 20th generation.

I'd love to spend more time with you

but I have to catch a
night bus to Volcaneum.

Very important meeting.

If, ah, there's anything you
need don't hesitate to call.

It's no bother at all.

- Crabbs Curios Waterfall City.

That's your store?

- The finest in antiques and antiquities.

And listen, don't waste your
time here in the provinces,

go to Waterfall City.

Ah, you just pick up
your tickets over there.

- Maybe we'll see you there.

- Oh, you can be sure of it.

I know future friends when I see them.

Cheerio.

- I'm not sure I trust him.

- Why not?

He's just a weird old guy with a limp

and a few sticks of dynamite.

- I wonder if there's a map around here.

- Well look lets try
to find Waterfall City.

- Maybe we can get tickets here.

- Well I guess that means it's closed.

- Excuse me, we need to get to a place

called Waterfall City.

- Waterfall City, the next bus is at dawn.

- Dawn?

- Great, now what.

David you asleep?

- What do you think?

How can a place like this really exist

without everybody knowing about it?

Its mind blowing.

- I don't know David, I
don't have any answers.

But I do know we have
to get out of this dump.

Get to that city Crabb talked about.

- Waterfall City?

- Exactly, we can find some help there,

get search parties out, call home.

- Do you really think some
place called Waterfall City

is going to have telephones?

- What do you mean?

- I think the rules here are different

and we better start learning them.

- No, no, screw the rules.

I'm not forgetting about Dad.

- Nobody's forgetting about Dad.

It's just that there's just
nothing we can do right now,

not until we understand this place.

- I don't want to understand this place,

I want to get home.

Look, right now we sleep, okay?

And tomorrow, the city
we do whatever it takes

to find someone in charge.

- Route 11.

Better hurry, over there.

- Great, thank you.

- There, that should do you.

- Excuse me, uh, hi, my name's Karl,

this is my brother Davey.

- It's David, hi.

- Hello, my name's Marion.

- You were pretty impressive
the yesterday dealing

with that whatever it was.

- Ankylosaurus.

- Weren't you scared?

- I'm training to be a leader.

I must be calm in a crisis if I'm expected

to inspire others.

You're not from around here, are you?

- Um, no, not exactly.

- We had an accident and we swam ashore.

Now we are trying to
get to Waterfall City.

- Oh, that's my destination.

- Oh.

- Now I understand what's happened to you,

but don't be afraid you are not the first.

When you arrive in
Waterfall City everything

will be explained just
as soon as you register.

- Register?

We don't want to register for anything.

We just want to get home.

- I imagine that's so.

This way.

- This is the bus?

- He's a Brach, a Brachiosaurus.

We'll be travelling with
him across the Rainy Basin.

- What's that for?

- Armor, that's to stop
him from getting killed.

He says he much
appreciates the protection.

- The bus is secure.

We will be leaving in five minutes.

Waterfall City direct.

- He won't eat us, will he?

- Brachs are plant eaters.

To get to Waterfall City we
have cross the rainy basin.

It's the domain of the carnivores.

We only cross when it's
absolutely essential,

and then only in a convoy.

But don't worry, we carry
extra food to appease them.

- appease them?

- The carnivores aren't evil,
they're just hungry by nature.

- So, do you have any weapons?

- We won't fight the carnivores.

- He means if they attack us.

- I understand.

Dinotopians don't carry weapons.

Weapons are enemies to
their even to their owners.

Third code of Dinotopia.

- Wait a minute you have a law that says

you can't defend yourself?

- There are ways to defend
yourself without using weapons.

And besides it's only one in
five convoys that are attacked.

- Oh, good.

- Now just complete this
hideous picture for us.

Exactly what kind of dinosaurs
are we likely to encounter?

- Tyrannosaurus vex, oi course.

- Of course.

What's happening?

Why are we stopping?

- The Brachs,
something's scaring them.

- Where's he going?

- What is it?

- Tyrannosaurus.

- These droppings are fresh.

And the tracks, there
are hundreds of them.

- I've never seen anything like it.

- Tyrannosaurs never hunt in herds.

- These ones did.

- There's a small outpost
at the edge of the forest.

We've got to make sure
they're safe, come on.

What's happened here?

Where is everybody?

Look.

- What is it?

- The sunstone has failed.

- What's a sunstone?

- It's our source of power.

It keeps the outposts
and settlements safe.

This one's dead.

- What happened to it?

- Quiet.

- What's going on?

- Must have been the thunder.

We should get back to the Brachs.

- We can't.

The next outpost is more
than five hours away.

The Brachs will never
carry us through the storm.

- Then we'll have to find shelter here.

Would you like something to eat?

- That would be great.

- Yeah, I'm starving.

Any chance of a steak?

A burger or some chicken?

- You want a bird to eat?

We eat only fruit and
vegetables in Dinotopia.

And you, do you eat meat as well?

- Me?

No, no I'm a very strict vegetarian.

Why thank you.

- Ugh, it's bitter.

- You're supposed to peel it first.

- I see you haven't lost your touch Karl.

- Karl, has a restless spirit,

has he always been that way?

- Yeah, I guess so.

I've never spent this much
time alone with him before.

- You're brothers but
you don't live together?

- No, no we hardly see each other at all.

We have different mothers.

See my father, he led a
very active social life.

We were born just a few months apart

but we didn't grow up together.

We just don't have anything in common

so we're not exactly best friends.

- I'm sorry about your father, David.

- Thank you.

- Did you hear that?

- They're harmless.

Creatures of the Rainy Basin.

- Well something's making them panic.

- Something's making me panic.

- We should all try and get some sleep.

- Karl!

Karl!

Karl.

Karl, Karl!

- What is it now?

- I swear I heard something.

It was like a rumble
coming through the floor.

- Just go back to bed.

Let's check it out.

. Okay-

What?

Can you see anything?

- No, nothing but jungle out there.

- I thought, well I thought.

Well, you know, I thought...

- You thought a T-Rex
was coming to get you.

- Yeah.

- Outside! Run!

Run!

Over here quick.

- Come on, keep going!

- Ah!

- Marion!

Marion!

Are you okay?

- It's all right.

They're Skybaxs and
they're here to help us.

- I am Oonu Squadron Leader, Skybax Corps.

- I think you just saved our lives.

- Yes, this time you were lucky.

I am going to recommend this
bus service be suspended

until further notice.

We cannot guarantee the safety

of the passengers, and you, stop.

No one ever but a rider
approaches a skybax.

These are not tame birds.

If you value your life, stay back.

I will provide you with an airborne escort

for the rest of your journey.

- What happened to everybody here.

- We rescued the rest
of the staff earlier.

We flew them out before
the storms came in,

but three people and
their Triceratops patrol

are still missing.

As yet we've had no sightings.

I fear they are dead.

Okay, lets go.

- Right,
come on, follow us.

- What's the best way
to fight those things?

- We don't approve of
violence in Dinotopia.

- Even when it saves your life?

That T-Rex almost killed us back there.

- Our lives are no more precious than that

of a Tyrannosaurus.

- Come on Marion, eat or
be eaten kill or be killed.

That's the law of the jungle.

We're human beings and
that means we're at the top

of the food chain.

- We are recent guests on this planet.

The dinosaurs have been
here for 160,000,000 years.

Mammals like us are only recent...

- Look, I like my dog back home

but he's not getting a driver's licence.

You know what I'm saying?

- You feel superior to them?

- Well yeah you bet I do

- But you're not.

- Karl feels superior to everything.

- If dinosaurs are so smart then how come

they're doing all the manual labour?

- Dinosaurs take pride in their strength.

- Well they're still carrying
us around on their backs.

- There's many things you can
learn from a Brachiosaurus.

- Oh yeah? Like what?

- Like humility.

Welcome to Waterfall City.

- I've never seen anything like it.

It's a beautiful city like
something out of a fairy tale.

Marion, your world map's a little bit off.

America isn't joined to Europe.

- At the beginning of the Triassic period,

all the continents were joined together

in one huge super continent called Pangea.

- Surprised you didn't know that, David.

- Why are they all looking at us?

- There haven't been
newcomers in many years.

You're celebrities.

The mayor of Waterfall City
is coming to greet you.

This is the palace.

- Who's that guy?

He looks like a clown
with all those robes on.

- Hello father.

- Oh Marion.

I heard about the Tyrannosaurus attack,

I've been so worried.

- I'm fine, there's nothing
to be frightened of.

But I would like to address
the senate on what I saw.

- Oh yes, plenty of time for that.

Dinner's at 8 o'clock.

Quarter to nine by the time
the speeches have dragged on.

Oh.

Now, on behalf of the people of Dinotopia,

I, Waldo Seville, the 207th
Mayor of Waterfall City

and speaker of the Dinotopian Senate

extend to you all our warmest
welcome and hospitality.

- Excuse me Mr. Mayor?

Our plane crashed into the sea.

David and I, we escaped but
our father was trapped in it.

- What we need is a search party.

- Don't worry, dear boys.

Now, the senate awaits
you and we will address

all your concerns.

Recorded on this scroll
you can see those names

of those shipwrecked souls

whom destiny has delivered to our land.

They number thousands from
all corners of the Earth,

from every century.

Those poor unfortunates cast
away on the winds of misfortune

only to find a better life,

a life of harmony and fulfilment

here on the shores of Dinotopia.

And we are their descendants.

Welcome.

Please, please do sign.

Welcome to Waterfall City David Scott.

And a very warm welcome
to you too Karl Scott.

Well we would like to formally accept you

into the Waterfall City
Academy where you will...

- What?

- After training, be
given the chance to become

full Dinotopian citizens and
find your Saurian life partner.

- Saurian?

You mean one of those scaleys?

- We don't use that ugly term here

but yes you will be
paired with a dinosaur.

- There's a ceremony and we take a vow.

It's like a marriage.

- Well thank you for the
offer but we have to get home.

- Our dad's still out there.

There's no way we can stay here.

- We understand that
you both must be upset

but many Dinotopians have lost
their friends and families

in the ship wrecks that brought them here

but I'm afraid your past life has gone.

- This must be a big shock to you

but when you understand the
truly wonderful life out here...

- Marion, we have to get off this island.

- I'm afraid that's impossible.

Over the centuries a few have
tried but they've all perished

on the Razor Reef.

- Well wait a minute, how do
you know no one's ever made it?

- Had you ever heard of
Dinotopia before you arrived?

- No.

- Exactly.

Now you can't imagine how
exciting this is for us,

you're the first new arrivals
for many a long time,

and we're all waiting to hear
of the changes your world

so come along, come along.

Our last off-worlder
was shipwrecked in 1944.

So what have been the principal changes

in your society since then?

What? Oh yes.

Are you still at war with the Germans?

No, no, we won that one.

- Oh, well done.

So you'll tell us about the
significant historical events

that have followed.

- Uh, significant events, let's see, hmm.

There was the War in
Vietnam and Watergate,

um, the Gulf War the
Cold War and that's when

they knocked down the Berlin Wall.

- They knocked down a wall?

- Right.

- Was there something wrong with it?

- Um, that's a little hard to explain.

Lets see what else uh,
oh, the space program.

Apollo 11, that's when Neil
Armstrong walked on the moon.

Technology's very advanced these days,

we all have mobile phones,
and DVDs, and laptops,

and everybody's on the internet.

- I'm sorry, I think
we're a little confused.

I thought you said that
someone walked on the moon?

- The most significant event in my history

was falling out of the sky and watching

my father swept away to drown.

Welcome to Dinotopia.

- Wow, it's just incredible, isn't it?

- You'll get used to it.

- I'm not so sure.

I don't understand how a place this big

hasn't been found before,
it isn't not on any maps.

- ls that so surprising?

- What do you mean?

- Are there no
mysteries left out there

where you came from?

- Well no, there's a lot
of things we don't know

about our world.

- Well this is just another one.

This is the ancient library of Dinotopia.

- This is your library?

It must be centuries old.

Look at all these scrolls.

I'd love to read some of 'em.

- You might find that
a little bit difficult

seeing their aren't written in English.

- Oh.

What's he doing?

- Dinosaurs hate turning pages.

They do their best thinking
when their feet are moving.

- Daretakalada.

- C, B, ah, A.

- Gosh, I'm sorry.

- No, no, no, no it's perfectly all right.

It was completely my fault.

- This dinosaur can talk!

- Dare-tago.

- Dare-tago, madam Marion.

David and Karl Scott, right?

Um yes, I can speak English and French.

Bonjour Mon Ami.

- Bonjour.

- I can understand 17 major
human and Saurian languages

and imitate many natural sounds.

I was at the top of my class.

- So how many dinosaurs can talk?

- All of them.

- But very few learn to
speak English properly

if that's what you mean.

- How exciting it is to meet you.

You know, I just love mammals.

- I have to leave you now I'm
going to speak to the senate.

Goodbye.

- Well wait a minute where
are we supposed to go?

Where are we going to sleep?

Oh, I'm sorry I thought you'd been told.

Zipeau has kindly agreed to
give you temporary accommodation

in his house.

- Yes.

- Goodbye.

- You mean we're staying with a din...

- A librarian.

- Right, librarian.

- Yes, hmm.

- Mmm, this is delicious.

- Your fork, Karl.

- Very kind of you to put us up, Zipeau.

- Oh no, not at all, I find
you a very interesting species.

I just love the way you jump
about, very quick reactions,

and the way you eat with
your little knife and fork

cutting up all the food
first, I mean it's so funny.

- So do you have a human partner?

- I was partner to Sylvia of the Hatchery,

but I was never sought another
after my soul mate's death.

- Wow, how'd ya score a babe like that?

- God.

- What?

- Babe?

Very colourful language.

It's a spiritual union, I don't think

you quite understand yet.

No, I'll never meet
another like her, babe.

- Dare-toe camada Almasoar.

- Soup's getting cold, darling.

I thought you spoke
beautifully to the senate.

I couldn't believe my little
girl looked so grown up.

- The debate was very interesting

but the next meeting's not
scheduled for another month.

- Well the Dinotopian
way is the reasoned way.

A good mind is a calm mind.

Danad-you-sec, Almasoar.

- Father, this isn't the first
time the sunstone's failed,

and I've never seen
Tyrannosaurs running in herds.

Perhaps the outer settlements
are being attacked

because the sunstones are failing.

- Well, that's an intriguing idea.

I shall send out skybaxs
patrols to confirm the reports

before the next meeting.

- Wow very cool.

- We are in the nut house.

- Yeah.

I know but what a place.

I mean it's just incredible.

- And all that talk about partners,

doesn't it seem just a bit creepy?

I'm mean we're talking about lizards here.

- No, I mean this is some kind of utopia

where everyone lives in harmony.

- Yeah, well there's no
way I'm ever going to be

walking around with a lizard girlfriend.

As for studying Saurian, whatever that is,

you can forget it.

- Why do you always
turn against everything

before we've even started.

- What's the point when
we're going home anyway?

- Oh, and how are we going to do that?

I mean you saw what the Razor
Reef did to our plane, right?

- You know the more I listen
to you the more I think

you want to stay here.

- Of course I want to go home

but we don't know how to right now.

So, all I'm saying is we
should make the best of it.

- You really don't want to leave, do you?

I can't believe it.

- Think about it Karl,
don't you see something

absolutely amazing has happened to us?

- No, I think watching dad die
has kind of ruined it for me.

- You know I didn't mean that.

Well I think I know Dad what would say.

You know, he'd say this
was a great adventure.

We should be exploring and seeing things

that no one's ever seen before.

Maybe we should stay
just for a little while,

see what life is like here.

- Maybe that's because you
don't have a life back home.

Well I do, and I want it back.

- Before your grandmother
Oriana died, she gave me this.

She said it wasn't to be passed to you

until after your 18th birthday.

- What is it?

- Open it.

What does it say?

- Find the light.

- Ah hah.

- A sunstone.

- This was her greatest treasure.

The explorer Arthur Denison
found it and give it to her

at least a hundred years ago.

Ah, it's almost perfect.

Apart from the Prime Sunstone
I have never seen it's equal.

Oriana knew you were
special, even as a baby.

Marion, I would like you

to lead the Sunstone Parade next week

- Oh father, that would
be the greatest honour.

- I tell you my dear, there
is nothing that could make

a father prouder.

- She's very nice to look at isn't she?

Don't let the mayor catch you
starring at her like that,

he'll run you out of town.

She's not for the likes
of us ordinary people.

- I was just, uh, having a look around.

- Of course you were,

who wouldn't on a
wonderful night like this.

Oh Karl, hope you don't mind me saying

but that brother of yours,

he's a bit of an odd sort isn't he?

- Well we're only half brothers.

We've never really been that close.

- I'm sorry that your father's gone.

- Yeah, so am I.

- I'll be saying a little
prayer for him tonight

if that's all right with you.

- Sure.

- Why don't you call on
me at the shop sometime,

whenever you get tired of the
scaleys trying to change you.

- Breathe deep.

- Seek peace.

- I can't believe you just
said that, seek peace.

You give me the creeps.

- Karl, grow up it's a greeting.

- Others first, self last.

- Others first, self last.

- Do one thing at a time.

- Do one thing at a time.

- Ah, ah, here are your two
new classmates, David and Karl.

- Breathe deep, David and Karl.

- Seek peace.

- No way, I'm not staying
here, this school's

for little children.

- Then you should feel right at home.

- Well yes, it's beginners class

- Forget about it Zipeau.

- Oh no, well, I thought
you'd be delighted.

The visiting tutor in this class

is your travelling companion Marion.

- This term you will be studying Saurian.

At the end of the term you
will sit an examination

and write your answers
in footprint language.

Now who can tell me the
first code of Dinotopia.

- One raindrop raises the sea.

- Very good.

I will now read to you all
the codes of Dinotopia.

One, one raindrop raises the sea.

Two, survival of all or none.

Three, weapons are enemies,
even to their owners.

Four, give more, take less.

Five, others first, self last.

Six, observe, listen, and learn.

Seven, do one thing.

Karl, that is unnecessary
destruction of public property.

And that is not how
Stegosauruses reproduce.

Eight, sing every day.

Nine, exercise imagination.

10, eat to live, don't live to eat.

Now, who know where we would find

all the codes of Dinotopia written down?

- In Fountain Square.

- Very good, David.

What?

I read it in Zipeau's city guide.

- And a very special
significance to all Dinotopians.

Ancient legend tells how it was brought up

from the world beneath, tens
of thousands of years ago.

- What's the world beneath?

- It's a mythical place
where dinosaurs were said

to have found sanctuary
at the dawn of time.

- Rule Four, give more, take less.

- Very good.

You can see down near the bottom here

that the very last code is missing.

All that can be made out are
the first three letters, F-I-N.

Nobody knows what the 11th code is.

Anyone like to guess what
the 11th code might be?

- Find a way out of here.

- Shh.

- Did you say something Karl?

- Yeah, I have to go to the bathroom.

Do I need a pass?

- No, but tonight's homework
will be on the codes.

- Homework?

Forget it.

- Karl, shouldn't you be at school?

- Nah, I quit.

- Oh dear.

Perhaps there's something
else you'd like to do.

- Nothing.

- Come on, there must be
something you'd like to do.

Careful with those,
that's library property.

That's not how you read scrolls.

No, Zipeau, it's a game.

- A game?

Oh can I play?

- Sure.

Okay, we're ready.

- Now what do I do?

- You're at that end.

- Right.

- Now grab your bat.

- Grab the bat.

- Hold it like this.

- Like this?

- That's it.

Okay, so you're clear about
what happens when I hit the ball

over the net?

- I hit back.

- You've got no questions about the rules?

- Nope.

. Okay-

- Agh, oh.

- One, nothing.

- Yes, yes.

Oh dear.

- Two, nothing.

Try again Zipeau.

- Oh, just getting the hang of it.

- Don't worry Zipeau, you'll get there.

- I'm upset that
Karl has left my class.

Did I do something wrong?

- No, no, it's not you.

Karl quits just about everything.

He doesn't know what he wants.

I mean, I think I know, sometimes.

But sometimes I'm not so sure.

You seem pretty sure what you're doing.

My mother's a matriarch, it's my destiny.

- Is that what you want?

- How can you want anything
other than your destiny?

You do ask the strangest things.

- Well, suppose you
don't know your destiny?

- It knows you.

You find each other, that's all.

- Marion, if I...

- Would you like to
see the Prime Sunstone?

- What?

Well sure, yeah I'd love to.

Let's go.

- Come on.

- Great.

- Here we go.

- Very good.

Thanks.

- That's it?

- That's it.

- How many points did I score?

- None.

21, zero, I win.

- Well I don't understand it,

usually I have excellent
hand to eye coordination.

- Well there you go.

- Oh, when can we play again?

I'm sure I'll be able to
beat you at this game.

- I can honestly
say humans will always

beat dinosaurs at ping pong.

- Aw, lets play again.

- I creamed you!

- But I don't mind, this is fun.

I haven't had so much fun in a long time.

- You know what Zipeau, me neither.

Think fast.

Oh, oh yeah, got you.

- We'll have to race, we've
only got about ten minutes.

- There's 361.

Come on, David, I'll race you.

- Slow down, I'm dying here.

- Don't be silly, this is nothing.

- Maybe for you it isn't.

- Are you all right?

- It's just my asthma acting up.

I don't suppose they sell
inhalers in Waterfall City?

This is fantastic, I had no idea.

- You don't have cities like
this where you come from?

- No.

I think we're a lot
farther up than I thought.

- This is what powers
the whole of Dinotopia.

It's the most powerful
sunstone ever found.

It's almost flawless.

- What are they doing?

- Every evening the prime
sunstone regenerates

all the other sunstones across Dinotopia.

Come on, it's almost time.

We can watch it from here.

- So where do sunstones come from?

- All we know is that they're very old.

Legends say they say they're
mined from the World Beneath

at the beginning of time.

They've been found all over Dinotopia

but not for many years.

- Greetings.

- What are you reading?

- One of our course books, why?

- What's it called?

- The care and teaching of humans.

- And you don't find that sick?

- Nope, it's a very interesting book.

- Another week and then I'm leaving.

- Yeah?

And what's the plan?

- I don't need a plan

to know that I have to get out of here.

You've got a week to decide
whether you come with me or not.

I mean what are you doing here?

- Well Karl, I'm
trying to study for graduation.

- Graduation?

What are you talking about, graduation?

We don't belong here
we're not Dinotopians.

You're getting brainwashed,
can't you see that?

- Look, I don't have time
to argue with you, okay?

- Are you insane?

There's a dinosaur
sleeping in the next room.

- Yes, exactly.

Karl, this is the chance of a lifetime.

We are the first in our generation

to see anything like this.

- They're screwing with your head, Dave,

and you just don't get it, do ya?

- Why are you so negative
about everything?

You know this is always
what happens with you.

You're stuck, and for the
first time in your life

no one's going to bail you out.

Why don't you stop being so
selfish and at least get to know

this place before you condemn it.

- I'm going, and you're coming with me.

- Look Karl, not that
you've bothered to ask,

but I kind of like it here.

- I can't believe I'm stuck here with you.

- Well it wasn't me who
was flying the plane.

- What do you mean, do you blame me

for what happened, do you?

- Let go of me, let go of me!

- If you ever say that
again I'll kill you David,

I swear I will.

- Mammals.

- Ah come in, come in.

I was just closing the shop for the night.

You've got a long face on you.

- No, I'm fine.

What is this?

- Oh, that's Ogthar.

If you believe the legend he
ruled over a mythical place

called the World Beneath.

Some say it exists others say

it's just stories for children.

- And what do you think?

- How can I help you my friend?

- I want to get off this island.

- I see.

Well, take a seat.

I was just having a bite to eat.

- Everyone says it's impossible to leave.

- They certainly want you to
believe that it's impossible,

they don't want the rest
of the world knowing

about their little paradise.

- I don't care about
their little paradise.

Can I get off this island?

- Well, I've spent the past 20 years

collecting ships' logs
charts, maps of the tides

and reefs that surrounds this island.

There's only one more thing
I need to buy my own ticket

out of here but we'll never see it.

It's the captain's log
of the Rebecca's Folly.

- Well were's this captain's log?

- In the archives in the Ancient Library.

But the only one who has
the keys is that scaley

they've stuck you with.

- Zipeau?

- Yes.

- So, why don't you get it?

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

They'd never let me near that library

on account of incident to
do with one of my relatives.

Small fire a long time ago.

Nothing to do with me
but just another example

of scaley persecution.

But now come to think of it,

it wouldn't be to difficult
for you to get a hold

of that book.

- You mean steal it?

I don't know it doesn't seem
right, and the scaley's are,

I mean they haven't done anything to me.

- This is what they did to me.

I was exploring a sacred temple

when one of those ugly
buggers took a great big chunk

out of me leg.

That's what they do when
they don't agree with you.

Think about that.

- Did you get one of these?

- Mmhm.

- What's it say?

- It's an invitation from Marion.

- Great.

What for?

Hello?

- Can't you read it?

- You got a big mouth,
anyone ever tell you that?

- Only you, Karl.

Here you go.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- It's quite fantastic, isn't it?

You'll scarcely believe your eyes.

The theme this year is the World Beneath.

- So, the world beneath,
that really exists?

- According to legend it was
the place where the sunstones

were originally found,
the heart of Dinotopia.

- Where's Karl?

- Sorry, Zipeau.

- Look, oh, look, I'm so excited.

Oh, the show is about to begin.

- Long ago, a terrible
darkness struck the Earth.

The seas churned and
the skies turned black,

and the light of the sun
was lost from the land.

Our ancestors sought refuge in caves

deep below the Earth where
they found food and shelter,

and magical stones which brought light.

A young girl left the
safety of the World Beneath

and climbed up to the surface,

a sunstone illuminating her way.

Higher and higher she
climbed in the darkness

not knowing that this was night.

- So beautiful.

- Centuries passed and a
great civilization evolved

but no one had ever seen the Sun.

Then the dawn came and she
saw that the skies had cleared

and that the Sun shone once again.

Our ancestors followed
her from the World Beneath

and they brought with
them the magical stones

and they built Dinotopia.

The World Beneath was sealed,
the great ruler Ogthar decreed

that it should remain a sacred place

undisturbed forever more.

- It's beautiful, wow, wow.

- Hi.

I uh, I really enjoyed the show.

- It was a ceremony, but thank you

- Yeah, well whatever, it
was a Saurian Spectacular.

- Karl, I want you to come
back and finish the course.

- Is that why I got an invitation?

- Look, I can't do school, never have,

why should I start now?

- Because you're not the
person you want to be.

- Oh and you are?

You know it all, do you?

- If you can't bear school
I'll spend an hour a day

teaching you personally.

- Really?

Okay, deal.

- And in return you'll sit
for your footprint exam.

Your graduation question
is, how are we to live?

You have an hour to answer
in any way you wish.

You may begin.

- What?

- Zipeau you look upset, what's wrong?

- The most terrible thing has happened.

A book has been, I can't
bring myself to use the word.

A book has been stolen.

- Really?

Well maybe it just got lost somewhere.

- Every inch of the
library has been searched.

I've been through antiques,
antiquities a dozen times.

I mean, who could do such a thing?

- Look Zipeau, books get stolen
from libraries all the time.

- Not in Dinotopia, it's inconceivable

to steal knowledge that should be for all.

It has to be here somewhere.

- Stop writing please.

- You said you'd
help me get off this island.

- Yes, yes, yes.

I'm a man of my word I'll
just need to study this book.

Now this captain's
journal charts the course

of the two ships I told you about.

With a little bit of
patience we'll find the wreck

of the one that didn't make it through.

- Yeah, but I thought we were
trying to find a way out.

- Of course we are.

- I just need to get
something from the wreck.

- Wait a minute you said
a way off the island.

That was the deal.

- If you want to come with me
be here tomorrow at midnight,

but come alone.

- I can't go without my brother.

- Your brother?

Follow me.

Let me show you something, Karl.

Horrible when it happens to kin isn't it?

Seeing them sucked in.

- He's still my brother.

I can't just leave him here.

- Was your brother.

You may not be able to
trust him, not any more.

' Right!

So you looking forward
to graduation tomorrow?

- Yeah, sure.

- I can't wait to here what they thought

of your five minute answer.

- The question we asked was perhaps

the most important question
any Dinotopian can be asked.

How are we to live?

David, yours was possibly
the longest answer

we have ever had.

At seventeen pages your
argument was an exhaustive one

and you are clearly not frightened to say

what you believe many times
within the same document.

- But the finest answer we have ever had

was written by Karl.

Marion will now read Karl's answer aloud

for the entire assembly.

- Is this the real life or is it fantasy?

Caught in a landslide,
no escape from reality.

Open your eyes, look up
to the skies and see.

- Brilliant.

- That's cheating.

That's the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody.

- Karl's answer was
very inspiring, Marion.

- Yes, it was quite special, Zipeau.

- I mean, it was the way he
combined fantasy and reality

and then compared it with the land.

- Have you ever done anything in your life

when you haven't cheated?

- Always been a sore loser, David?

- Hey, I worked hard to
get through that exam.

- You're taking this Dinotopia
stuff way too seriously.

- What is it you've
got against this place?

- I wouldn't know where to start.

- I think you're still trying to blame

Dad's dying on Dinotopia, is that it?

- Hey leave Dad out of it.

- I'd be glad to.

And let's face it, he left us
pretty much out of his life.

- Don't talk about him like that.

- At least you two had
something in common.

He didn't have the time of day for me.

- I wonder why that was?

- Well, he dumped my mother,
then did the same to yours,

but you still worship him.

- Don't talk like that.

- You know what?

Without Dad around, I feel free.

Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?

I'm almost glad he's gone.

- My dear, those two
were just never suitable

for Dinotopian education.

- But Father I really feel
it's my duty to look for them.

- Marion, they're gone.

Now we have searched but
nobody's found any sign.

Now, don't forget that
tomorrow you travel to Vidabba.

You're due to start your habitat training.

- Father, I really do
feel that I shouldn't.

- Marion?

- I feel like I've failed them both.

I should have never have
let Karl go back to school.

- No, no, no, no, they
were in my charge, Marion.

It is I who have failed them.

- I must go and find them.

- What?

Out there?

- I have no choice.

My father's going to be furious.

- That could be grossly
understating his reaction.

Well, I suppose I should
go home and get my bag.

- Why?

- Well, you don't think I'm
letting you go alone do you?

- Welcome to Waterfall
City's central post office.

Messenger bird 371 at your service.

Now I must remind you that our new rates

are in effect from today.

- Sorry 371.

- Stay with me, we're almost there.

Come on David, talk to me.

- Karl!

It's Zipeau and Marion!

- Keep up, Zipeau.

- Oh, where could they be.

Do you know, I've never been so far

from Waterfall City in my life.

Bravo, Marion, you brought a postal bird.

- Where on Earth?

I must remind you there's a surcharge

for delivering messages
outside Waterfall City.

How could I help?

- Message reads, are you Karl or David?

- Destination of message?

- Follow the river as far
as you can until sunset.

- Follow the river?

No responsibility can be
taken for delivery of messages

without precise destination.

- I understand.

I want you to fly as fast as you can

and ask anyone you meet.

Go.

- In my
day, people used to give you

a proper message with
a proper destination.

- So, What do we do now?

- Wait.

- Where are we?

- Wait here for a minute.

I'm gonna check it out, okay?

Hello?

- Don't know where to look.

Up the river?

It could be anywhere.

What kind of a destination
do they call that?

It all looks the same from up here anyway.

- Remember when we drank his 1918 port?

His last bottle.

1,300 dollars worth of
port in one afternoon.

We didn't like the taste
so we mixed it with coke.

It actually made it better, remember?

That was a great Christmas, wasn't it.

- Santa didn't come that year.

- What was that?

Say it again?

- Santa didn't come that year.

- Oh, he did.

It's just that he was awful pissed.

Davey?

Davey, come on, Davey.

Stay with me.

Can you hear me?

Don't fade on me, okay?

I can't do this on my own.

- Oh, bother.

Are you Karl or David?

- Karl, that's me.

- End of message, postage
has been prepaid, thank you.

Come on, hurry, they're
just up ahead this way.

- Karl?

David?

Are you there?

- Come on.

- Karl?

David?

- Someone's here.

- Karl?

- Over here.

- Oh, thank goodness.

We're coming, stay where you are!

- Oh, thank goodness.

What's happened?

He feels really cold.

He's very far away.

- What's she doing?

- Well, she's listening.

- Come back, David.

David?

- Oh, do you have another message?

- Yes, now you must fly to Vidabba

and tell them to send a rescue
party as soon as possible.

Don't stop for anyone or anything.

Go: go'

They're usually quite reliable.

Oh, what a find, what a marvellous find.

This temple has been lost for centuries.

Look here, Ogthar, the great
king of the World Beneath.

Legend says he was half man half dinosaur.

Quite remarkable.

I do believe you have
confirmed my research.

This must lead to one of the
entrances to the World Beneath.

But.

- What, Zipeau?

- The legend has it that all the entrances

are guarded by carnivores.

Oh dear.

If this is an entrance,
the carnivores will think

we are violating their sacred space.

- Well, don't worry.

I haven't seen any carnivores lately.

Oh my god, we have to get
out of here fast, come on.

- But David can't walk.

- David, we have to leave now.

- I'll get Zipeau.

- I'll wait for you.

- No, Karl, take David and go.

Zipeau, get out of there now!

- You really must see this.

These carvings are quite unique.

- Zipeau, we must go, come on!

- Hm, what's wrong?

Marion?

- Marion!

Zipeau, Zipeau!

- Come on, you can make it, come on.

- Oh no.

- Run, Marion!

Marion!

Come on, you can make it.

Run now, now!

- Jump, Marion, jump!

- I'm coming, Zipeau.

- Oh, help, Karl!

He was eating me.

I hope you choke on it!

- Come on, David.
