Finest in antiques and antiquities Listen,don't waste your time here in the provinces go to Waterfall City 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 Todaloo 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 up 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 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, OK? And tomorrow, the city we do whatever it takes to find someone in charge Route 1 1.
Betta hurry, over there Great - thank you Hey - That should do ya Excuse me, uh, hi, my name's Karl this is my brother Davey It's David, hi Hello, my name's Marian You were pretty impressive the yesterday dealing with that whatever it was Ankylosaurus Weren't you scared? I'm studying to be a leader I must be calm in a crisis if I'm expect to inspire others You're not from around here,are you? Um, no.
Not exactly We had an accident and swam to Now we are trying to get to Waterfall City Oh, that's my destination 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 so this way This is the bus? He's a brach - a brahiosaurus We will 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 5 minutes Waterfall City direct He won't eat us, will he? Brach's 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 are not evil there 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 I'll just complete this hideous picture for us Exactly what kind of dinosaurs are we likely to encounter? Tyrannosaurus Rex, of course Of 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 anything like it Dinosaur's never hunt in herds These ones did There's a small outpost at the edge of the forest We have got to make sure their 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 keeps the outposts and settlements safe This one's dead What is 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 5 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 fruits and vegetables in Dinotopia And you do you eat meat? ME? No, no I'm a very strict vegetarian Why thank you Ugh, it's bitter You're supposed to peel it first See you haven't lost your touch Karl Awh, Karl, has a restless spirit Has he always been that way? Yeah, I guess so I've never spent this much time 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 had 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 to 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 So go back to bed Let's check it out OK What? Can you see anything? No, nothing but jungle out there I thought ya knowwell I thought You thought a T-Rex was coming to get you Yeah Outside! Run! Run! Hurry! Over here quick Keep running! Marion! Marion! Are you OK? It's alright.
They're Skybaxs they're here to help us I am Oonu Squadron Leader, Skybax Corps I think you just saved our lifes 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 sky bax These are not tame birds If you value your life, stay back I will provide you 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 have no sightings I fear they are dead OK 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 a hundred and sixty million 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 superior then how come they're doing all the manual labor? 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 is a little off America isn't joined to Europe At the beginning of the Triassic period all the continents were joined together in one huge supercontinent called Pangea Surprise 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 speak 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 off but I would like to address the senate on what I saw Oh yes, yes Plenty of time for that Dinner's at eight Quarter to nine by the time the speeches have dragged on Oh well Now on behalf of the people of Dinotopia I Waldo Saville 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 l, 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 all the shipwrecked souls whom destiny has delivered to our land They number in thousands from all corners of the earth from every century Those poor unfortunates castawayed on the winds of misfortune only to find a better life a life of harmony fulfillment, here on the shores of Dinotopia And we are their descendents Welcome Please, please do sign Welcome to Waterfall City David Scott And a very warm welcome to you to Karl Scott Well we would like to formally except you into the Waterfall City Academy where you will, 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 friends and families in the ship wrecks that brought them here but I'm afraid your past life is 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 But 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 Come on, 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? Oh, no we won that one Well done You'll tell us about the significant historical events that have followed Uhsignificant 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 the wall? Where's there something wrong with it That's a little hard to explain Lets see what else uh.
.
Oh! the space program, Apollo 1 1 that's when Neal Armstrong walked on the moon Technology is very advanced these days We all have mobile phones DVDs and laptops Everybody's on the lnternet I'm sorry I think we're a little confused I thought you said 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's not on any maps Is 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? Must be centuries old Look at all these scrolls I'd love to read some of them You might find that a little bit difficult seeing their aren't English Oh What's he doing? Dinosaurs hate turning pages they do their best thinking when their feet are moving Daretakalada Gosh, I'm sorry No, no, no, no it's perfectly alright 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 1 7 major human and Saurian languages and imitate many natural sounds I was at the top of my class So how many dinosaur's can talk? All of them But very few learn to speak English properly if that's what you mean How exciting it is to meat you! Oh, I just love mammals I have to leave you now I'm going to speak to the senate Good bye Well wait a minute where are we supposed to go? Where are we going to sleep? Oh, I'm sorry I thought you had been told ZlPEAU has kindly agreed to give you temporary accommodation in his house Yes Goodbye You mean we're staying with a dinos A librarian Right, librarian Yes Mmmmm, this is delicious Your fork Karl Very kind of you to put us up ZlPEAU 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 it's so funny So do you have a human partner I was partners with Sylvia of the Hatchery But I was never sought another after my soulmate's death Wow, how'd ya score a babe like that? God What? Babe? Hmmvery colorful language It's a spiritual union I don't think you understand yet No, I'll never meet another like her babe Dare-toe camada Almasoar Food'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 has failed and I've never seen Tyrannosaurus running in herds Perhaps the outer settlements are being attacked because the sunstones are failing Is that so.
An intriguing idea I shall send out skybaxs patrols to confirm the reports before the next meeting Wow very cool We're in the nut house Yeah.
I know.
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 when we haven't 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 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 He'd say this is a good adventure We should be exploring and seeing things no one has 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 before your eighteenth birthday What is it? Open it What does it say? "Find the light" A sunstone This was her greatest treasure The explorer Arthur Denison found it and give it to her at least a hundred years ago It is almost perfect Apart from the Prime Sunstone I have never seen it's equal Orianna 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 honor I tell you my dear there is nothing that could make a father prouder She's quite nice to look at isn't she? Don't let the mayor catch ya 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 that brother of yours he's a bit of an odd sort isn't he? Well we're only half brothers never really been that close Awh, I'm so sorry that your father's gone Yeah, so am l 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 scaley's trying to change you Breathe deep Seek peace I can't believe you just said that "seek peace" you give me the creeps Oh, 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 Awh, awh, here are your new classmates David and Karl Breathe deep David and Karl Seek peace No way I'm not staying this school's for little children Then you should feel right at home Oh yes, it's beginners class Forget about it ZlPEAU Oh no! 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 foot print 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: 1.

Eat to live don't live to eat Now, who know where we would find all the codes of dinotopia written down? ME! Me! ME! ME! Me! In fountain square Very good David What? I read it in ZlPEAU'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-l-N" Nobody knows what the eleventh code is Anyone like to guess what the eleventh code might be? Find a way out of here Did you say something Karl? Yea.
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? No.

Karl quits just about everything He doesn't know what he wants 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 l Would you like to see the prime sunstone? Uh.

But I don't mind this is fun I haven't had this much fun in a long time You know what ZlPEAU, me neither Think fast! Ah - got ya! We'll have to race we only have about ten minutes There are 361 come on David I'll race ya Slow down I'm dyin here This is nothing Maybe for you it isn't You alright? I'm a little asthmatic 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 allot 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 their very old Legends say they say they're mined from the World Beneath at the beginning of time The have been found all over Dinotopia but not in many years Good evening 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? No.
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, OK? 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, David 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 ever 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 Awh 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? Awh 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 the 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 it's impossible to leave They don't want the rest of the world to know about their little paradise I don't care about their little paradise how do I get off this island? Well, I've spent the past 20 years collecting ancient 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? The archives in the Ancient Library But the only one who has the keys is that scaley they've stuck you with ZlPEAU? So, why don't you get it? No, no, no, no, no, no They 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 boogers took a great big chunk out of me That's what they do when they don't agree with you What do you think about that? You get one of these? Uh huh What's it say? It's an invitation from Marion Great.
What for? Hello? Can't you read it? You got a big mouth anybody 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 really exists? According to legend it was the place where the sunstones were originally found the heart of Dinotopia Where's Karl? Sorry ZlPEAU Iook Oh, oh, look I'm so excited 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 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 and the great ruler Ogthar decreed that it should remain a sacred place undisturbed forever more It's beautiful wow wow Hi! I uh, really enjoyed the show It was a ceremony, 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, never 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 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 ZlPEAU 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 and Antiquities a dozen times! Who could do such a thing?! Look Zipp, 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 and I'm a man of my word I'll just need to study this 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 the one that didn't make it through Yeah, but I thought we were trying to find a way out Of course we are But first 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 mid-night 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 lsn't it? Seeing them sucked in He's still my brother I can't just leave him Was your brother You may not be able to trust him not anymore Right! Ama-la, Ama-la, Ama-la 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 exhausted one and you are clearly not frightened to say what you believe many times within the same document But the finest answer we have perhaps ever had was written by Karl Marion will now read Karl's answer out loud for the entire assembly "ls 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 ZlPEAU Maybe it was the way he combined fantasy and reality 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 take'n this Dinotopian 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 somehow blame Dad's dying on Dinotopia is that it? Hey leave Dad out of it I'll be glad to 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? He dumped my mother and did the same to your's but you still worship him Don't talk like that You know what? With out 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 to Dinotopian education But Father I really feel it's my duty to look for them Marion, they're gone Now we searched but no one has found any sign Don't forget you must journey to Vidabba tomorrow You're due to start your habitat training Father, I really do feel that I shouldn't Marion? I feel like I failed them both I should have never have let Karl go back to school 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 is going to be furious That could be grossly understating his reaction I must go home and get my bag Why? 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 duties are in effect today Sorry 371 Stay with me, we're almost there Come on David, talk to me KARL! It's ZlPEAU and Marion Keep up ZlPEAU Awh, where could they be I've never been so far away 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 can 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! So, What do we do now? Wait.
Where are we?
I hate flying.
This will be a treat David We're going to go island-hopping You're going to love it - I promise Let's just leave him behind Dad He's going to be like this all day I agree with Karl I was happier reading back at the villa You're not going to be sitting in your room reading David, you'll be out doing something There, we're all set C'mon Karl, fly the plane This is very important you keep your air speed above a hundred and forty Okay This is so cool He's flying the plane Yeah, I see Wake me up twenty minutes before landing What?

Come on follow me Where are we? What is this place? I don't know Davey I don't know Karl, what are we doing?

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 Lets keep walking we're bound to find someone, somewhere Do you see that?

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 up 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 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, OK? And tomorrow, the city we do whatever it takes to find someone in charge Route 1 1.
Betta hurry, over there Great - thank you Hey - That should do ya Excuse me, uh, hi, my name's Karl this is my brother Davey It's David, hi Hello, my name's Marian You were pretty impressive the yesterday dealing with that whatever it was Ankylosaurus Weren't you scared? I'm studying to be a leader I must be calm in a crisis if I'm expect to inspire others You're not from around here,are you? Um, no.
Not exactly We had an accident and swam to Now we are trying to get to Waterfall City Oh, that's my destination 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 so this way This is the bus? He's a brach - a brahiosaurus We will 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 5 minutes Waterfall City direct He won't eat us, will he? Brach's 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 are not evil there 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 I'll just complete this hideous picture for us Exactly what kind of dinosaurs are we likely to encounter? Tyrannosaurus Rex, of course Of 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 anything like it Dinosaur's never hunt in herds These ones did There's a small outpost at the edge of the forest We have got to make sure their 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 keeps the outposts and settlements safe This one's dead What is 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 5 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 fruits and vegetables in Dinotopia And you do you eat meat? ME? No, no I'm a very strict vegetarian Why thank you Ugh, it's bitter You're supposed to peel it first See you haven't lost your touch Karl Awh, Karl, has a restless spirit Has he always been that way? Yeah, I guess so I've never spent this much time 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 had 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 to 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 So go back to bed Let's check it out OK What? Can you see anything? No, nothing but jungle out there I thought ya knowwell I thought You thought a T-Rex was coming to get you Yeah Outside! Run! Run! Hurry! Over here quick Keep running! Marion! Marion! Are you OK? It's alright.
They're Skybaxs they're here to help us I am Oonu Squadron Leader, Skybax Corps I think you just saved our lifes 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 sky bax These are not tame birds If you value your life, stay back I will provide you 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 have no sightings I fear they are dead OK 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 a hundred and sixty million 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 superior then how come they're doing all the manual labor? 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 is a little off America isn't joined to Europe At the beginning of the Triassic period all the continents were joined together in one huge supercontinent called Pangea Surprise 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 speak 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 off but I would like to address the senate on what I saw Oh yes, yes Plenty of time for that Dinner's at eight Quarter to nine by the time the speeches have dragged on Oh well Now on behalf of the people of Dinotopia I Waldo Saville 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 l, 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 all the shipwrecked souls whom destiny has delivered to our land They number in thousands from all corners of the earth from every century Those poor unfortunates castawayed on the winds of misfortune only to find a better life a life of harmony fulfillment, here on the shores of Dinotopia And we are their descendents Welcome Please, please do sign Welcome to Waterfall City David Scott And a very warm welcome to you to Karl Scott Well we would like to formally except you into the Waterfall City Academy where you will, 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 friends and families in the ship wrecks that brought them here but I'm afraid your past life is 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 But 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 Come on, 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? Oh, no we won that one Well done You'll tell us about the significant historical events that have followed Uhsignificant 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 the wall? Where's there something wrong with it That's a little hard to explain Lets see what else uh.
.
Oh! the space program, Apollo 1 1 that's when Neal Armstrong walked on the moon Technology is very advanced these days We all have mobile phones DVDs and laptops Everybody's on the lnternet I'm sorry I think we're a little confused I thought you said 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's not on any maps Is 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? Must be centuries old Look at all these scrolls I'd love to read some of them You might find that a little bit difficult seeing their aren't English Oh What's he doing? Dinosaurs hate turning pages they do their best thinking when their feet are moving Daretakalada Gosh, I'm sorry No, no, no, no it's perfectly alright 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 1 7 major human and Saurian languages and imitate many natural sounds I was at the top of my class So how many dinosaur's can talk? All of them But very few learn to speak English properly if that's what you mean How exciting it is to meat you! Oh, I just love mammals I have to leave you now I'm going to speak to the senate Good bye Well wait a minute where are we supposed to go? Where are we going to sleep? Oh, I'm sorry I thought you had been told ZlPEAU has kindly agreed to give you temporary accommodation in his house Yes Goodbye You mean we're staying with a dinos A librarian Right, librarian Yes Mmmmm, this is delicious Your fork Karl Very kind of you to put us up ZlPEAU 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 it's so funny So do you have a human partner I was partners with Sylvia of the Hatchery But I was never sought another after my soulmate's death Wow, how'd ya score a babe like that? God What? Babe? Hmmvery colorful language It's a spiritual union I don't think you understand yet No, I'll never meet another like her babe Dare-toe camada Almasoar Food'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 has failed and I've never seen Tyrannosaurus running in herds Perhaps the outer settlements are being attacked because the sunstones are failing Is that so.
An intriguing idea I shall send out skybaxs patrols to confirm the reports before the next meeting Wow very cool We're in the nut house Yeah.
I know.
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 when we haven't 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 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 He'd say this is a good adventure We should be exploring and seeing things no one has 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 before your eighteenth birthday What is it? Open it What does it say? "Find the light" A sunstone This was her greatest treasure The explorer Arthur Denison found it and give it to her at least a hundred years ago It is almost perfect Apart from the Prime Sunstone I have never seen it's equal Orianna 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 honor I tell you my dear there is nothing that could make a father prouder She's quite nice to look at isn't she? Don't let the mayor catch ya 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 that brother of yours he's a bit of an odd sort isn't he? Well we're only half brothers never really been that close Awh, I'm so sorry that your father's gone Yeah, so am l 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 scaley's trying to change you Breathe deep Seek peace I can't believe you just said that "seek peace" you give me the creeps Oh, 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 Awh, awh, here are your new classmates David and Karl Breathe deep David and Karl Seek peace No way I'm not staying this school's for little children Then you should feel right at home Oh yes, it's beginners class Forget about it ZlPEAU Oh no! 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 foot print 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: 1.
One raindrop raises the sea 2.
Survival of all or none 3.
Weapons are enemies even to their owners 4.
Give more take less 5.
Others first self last 6.
Observe, listen and learn 7.
Do one thing Karl, that is unnecessary destruction of public property and that is not how stegosauruses reproduce 8.
Sing every day 9.
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? ME! Me! ME! ME! Me! In fountain square Very good David What? I read it in ZlPEAU'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-l-N" Nobody knows what the eleventh code is Anyone like to guess what the eleventh code might be? Find a way out of here Did you say something Karl? Yea.
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? No.
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 ZlPEAU, it's a game A game? Oh can I play Sure OK, we're ready Now what do I do You're at that end Right Now grab your bat Grab your bat Hold it like this Like this That's it .

Nope OK 1 - noth'n Awh, yes, yes 2 - noth'n Try again ZlPEAU Awh, just get the hang of it Don't worry ZlPEAU you'll get there I'm upset that Karl left my class Did I do something wrong? It's not you.
Karl quits just about everything He doesn't know what he wants 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 l Would you like to see the prime sunstone? Uh.
Well sure! Yeah I'd love to.
Let's go Come on Great There ya go - yup 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 ya go Uh - 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 Awh, lets play again I creamed you! But I don't mind this is fun I haven't had this much fun in a long time You know what ZlPEAU, me neither Think fast! Ah - got ya! We'll have to race we only have about ten minutes There are 361 come on David I'll race ya Slow down I'm dyin here This is nothing Maybe for you it isn't You alright? I'm a little asthmatic 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 allot 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 their very old Legends say they say they're mined from the World Beneath at the beginning of time The have been found all over Dinotopia but not in many years Good evening 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? No.
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, OK? 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, David 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 ever 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 Awh 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? Awh 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 the 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 it's impossible to leave They don't want the rest of the world to know about their little paradise I don't care about their little paradise how do I get off this island? Well, I've spent the past 20 years collecting ancient 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? The archives in the Ancient Library But the only one who has the keys is that scaley they've stuck you with ZlPEAU? So, why don't you get it? No, no, no, no, no, no They 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 boogers took a great big chunk out of me That's what they do when they don't agree with you What do you think about that? You get one of these? Uh huh What's it say? It's an invitation from Marion Great.
What for? Hello? Can't you read it? You got a big mouth anybody 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 really exists? According to legend it was the place where the sunstones were originally found the heart of Dinotopia Where's Karl? Sorry ZlPEAU Iook Oh, oh, look I'm so excited 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 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 and the great ruler Ogthar decreed that it should remain a sacred place undisturbed forever more It's beautiful wow wow Hi! I uh, really enjoyed the show It was a ceremony, 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, never 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.

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 and Antiquities a dozen times! Who could do such a thing?! Look Zipp, 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 and I'm a man of my word I'll just need to study this 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 the one that didn't make it through Yeah, but I thought we were trying to find a way out Of course we are But first 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 mid-night 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 lsn't it? Seeing them sucked in He's still my brother I can't just leave him Was your brother You may not be able to trust him not anymore Right! Ama-la, Ama-la, Ama-la 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 exhausted one and you are clearly not frightened to say what you believe many times within the same document But the finest answer we have perhaps ever had was written by Karl Marion will now read Karl's answer out loud for the entire assembly "ls 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 ZlPEAU Maybe it was the way he combined fantasy and reality 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 take'n this Dinotopian 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 somehow blame Dad's dying on Dinotopia is that it? Hey leave Dad out of it I'll be glad to 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? He dumped my mother and did the same to your's but you still worship him Don't talk like that You know what? With out 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 to Dinotopian education But Father I really feel it's my duty to look for them Marion, they're gone Now we searched but no one has found any sign Don't forget you must journey to Vidabba tomorrow You're due to start your habitat training Father, I really do feel that I shouldn't Marion? I feel like I failed them both I should have never have let Karl go back to school 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 is going to be furious That could be grossly understating his reaction I must go home and get my bag Why? 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 duties are in effect today Sorry 371 Stay with me, we're almost there Come on David, talk to me KARL!
