(gentle orchestral music)

- Well I am quite confident
we are completely lost.

- Wait here a minute.

(grunting)

(growling)

Over here!

Over here!

- I found them.

I found them, they're over there.

- They found us.
(bell ringing)

(growling)

Can you take us to Vadaba?

Our friend is hurt.
(growling)

- We can escort you to the ridge

and you will find the
roads of Vadaba from there.

(exciting orchestral music)

(bell ringing)

(dinosaurs growling)

- [Marion] Mother.

- Marion. (laughing)

- Rosemary is the matriarch
of Vadaba earth farm.

- Matriarch?

What's that mean?

- Well in your world,
well I suppose it means,

she's in charge.

- Hi, I'm Karl.

- I've heard a lot about the two of you.

None of it good.

David's very sick.

How do you manage to cause so much trouble

in such a short time?

- It's a skill, honed over a lifetime.

- It's time you hone some other skills.

- Come on, David.

- Jumper, Samantha.

- Yes, matriarch.

- Please, tend to David, he's not well.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

He's going to be fine, Karl,

we'll take good care of him.

(dinosaurs growling)

Now Vadaba's a working community,

with seven thousand acres,
of fields, barns, hatchery.

We supply over half the
food for Waterfall City.

But right now, I want you to
help care for your brother,

while Marion and I
prepare medicine for him.

- Okay, I'll see you later.

Come on, Zippo.

- I've had postal birds
from your father every day.

He's furious with you
for going after the boys.

I'd like to know why
you chose to defy him.

- I just did what you
would do in my situation.

I thought they could be in danger.

- Marion, they're outsiders.

They don't yet understand Dinotopian ways.

You're different.

You're wearing it, aren't you?

- I understand it was half yours to give.

Thank you.

(chiming)

- It may protect you one day.

The carnivores are straying

from their traditional territory.

Five of our Brachiosaur
herd were killed last month.

The hatchery is full of orphans.

- I tried talking to the
senate, but nobody would listen.

- Hardly surprising when
you know who's in charge.

- Five years is a very long time

to refuse to speak to father.

- Marion, I have never refused
your father a conversation.

- And it's not very Dinotopian.

- My husband likes his
roads and his backwoods

much too much.

He should live closer to the earth.

You are very different from him.

You have the gift of understanding.

- I don't want to be treated
differently from anyone else.

- Nevertheless, my dearest
daughter, you are different.

Welcome home.

(ball clacking)

(grunting)

(soft orchestral music)

Has anybody seen Karl?

- No.

- [Woman In Stripes]
He may be in the barn.

(ball clacking)

- Good lord Ogthar.

- So that's 23, match point.

- Match point?

Yes, right.

(ball clacking)

Ha ha, take that!

- [Karl] Nice tail shot, Zip.

(grunting)

- So long fetching the ball.

- I win, nice try, Zippo,

but you only got three points.

- Three points?

Well, I'm improving.

- If you wanna win, you're gonna have

to learn how to smash.

- I haven't got a smash?

- That's right, like this.

(ball clacking)

" Oh!

Well I will learn how to smash.

- Zippo, what do you think you're doing?

- I was hoping to challenge
Karl for a rematch.

- Don't you have duties
back in Waterfall City?

- Yes, matriarch, yes I must return soon,

but I'm studying mammals in
their natural environment,

for my thesis.

- You're writing a thesis on me?

- Yes, reasoning, feeding, and breeding.

- You're studying me?

I'm not gonna be your guinea pig.

- Unless I'm mistaken, guinea
pigs are furry rodents...

- Enough of this.

Karl, you're not on vacation.

You're expected to work
with the other students

during the day.

- Look, no disrespect, Rosemary,
but I'm not a Dinotopian,

and I don't wanna become one, okay?

- Do you intend to eat our food?

- Well, yeah, I guess.

- Then you'll help us
make it, starting now.

And please address me as
matriarch in the future.

- Whew, that was close.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(dinosaurs growling)

(grunting)

- [Voice over] Ah, David,
I've brought you some dinkah.

- Hey, Zippo.

- I've come to say goodbye, David.

I must return to Waterfall City

to tell the senate
about the sacred temple.

I brought you some tea.

- Thanks.

(spoon clanking in cup)

(coughing)

What is this stuff?

- It's a plant, octaem longivus,

regularly drunk to prolong life expectancy

to 250 years, or more.

- I think I'd rather die young.

(grunting)

So how long have I been asleep, anyway?

- Almost a week.

- A week?

Wow, must've been really sick.

So what's been happening?

- Well it's been fascinating.

Marion and Karl have
become really good friends.

- Friends?

What do you mean, friends?

Karl doesn't have any female friends.

- Well, they barely stray
from each other's company.

What is it?

- I think I'm gonna use my convalescence

to study the Brachiosaurus.

(growling)

(gentle orchestral music)

- [Marion] Tell me another one.

- Okay uh, let me think.

Knock knock.

- [Marion] Who's there?
- [Karl] Goliath.

- Goliath who?

- Goliath down, you look a tired.

(laughing)

- ls Goliath a real name?

- He as a giant, a bully,
but a boy killed him

with his slingshot, saved the whole town.

Everybody knows the story
of Karl and Goliath.

- Tell me another one.

- You've made a miraculous recovery.

- Rosemary.

- My daughter says you're
a brilliant student.

She says you've a gift
for saurian languages.

- Well, I'm glad she thinks so.

She's a great teacher.

She even got Karl through school.

- Why does that surprise you?

- Well, you know, Karl's
not exactly a model student.

He's rebellious.

I think he's carrying
around a lot of anger.

- Yes, almost as much as you.

(laughing)

David, you're wonderfully clever,

but you seem unhappy.

Are you always going
to stand outside life?

Watch it go by?

- I don't think there's anything
wrong with being a loner.

- No, not if you really want to be alone.

(crickets chirping)
(growling)

(snoring)

(suspenseful music)

(floorboard creaking)
(coughing)

- Where are you going?

- Nowhere, go back to sleep.

- What do you mean, nowhere?

- I'm just gonna get some air.

I'll see ya later, okay.

(windows creaking)

(loud thudding)

- [Voice over] What is it, what's going on?

- [Voice-over] What is it?

- Hi girls, anyone know where
I might be able to find, um...

Oh.

(girls giggling)

Listen, I was wondering if you were, uh,

doing anything tonight?

Maybe we could go for a walk.

It's beautiful out.

What do you say?

(romantic string music)

(chattering)

- It's come to my notice that you've both

broken student rules about
leaving your sleeping quarters.

Would you like to tell me
what happened last night?

I'd appreciate your complete honesty.

- Look, Rosemary, I'm sorry
if we broke your rules,

but we were just having
a little bit of fun.

You know, being spontaneous.

- Watch how you speak to me.

- We went for a swim.

- Karl has a little
problem with authority.

He's been kicked out of 11 schools.

- David, I wasn't speaking to you.

Why aren't you nesting properly?

- Nesting?

Because I don't belong here,

and I don't think I ever will,
is that clear enough for you?

- I think tonight's ceremony
might change your mind

about staying here.

- I doubt it.

- I'm sure of it.

- The floor recognizes
Professor Zippo Stenosaurus,

resident scholar at the
ancient public library,

who wishes to present findings
of his recent research, sir.

- Yes, uh, thank you, mayor.

I have news of the utmost importance.

Since I returned, I've been
working throughout the night

in the library comparing
ancient scrolls and carvings.

I have no doubt that I have
discovered, with some help,

one of the three entrances
to the world beneath.

The ancient temple of Caro.

(crowd chattering)

Dangerous though it is,
I believe an expedition

should be made to further explore...

(loud growling)

- No, beneath.

- Almosaur rightly reminds us

that we must never,
under any circumstances,

violate the sacred world beneath.

- Yes, yes, yes, traditional
views must be respected,

but this is a terribly
important discovery,

and if you would just look at my research.

- Tis forbidden.

How can we ask to be left in peace,

and then trespass on
the territory of others?

These places belong to the carnivores.

We must respect their
territories, now more than ever.

- Yes, but perhaps there are sunstones

to be found in the world beneath.

- By your own admission,
you only just escaped

with your lives.

No expedition will be sanctioned
under any circumstances.

This session of the senate is closed.

(gavel banging)

(crowd chattering)

- This is the last
night you'll spend here.

The harvest is being gathered
once again for another year,

and it's time for you to move on.

I want no one to speak
for the next four hours,

no matter how strong the temptation.

It's time for you to see
as the dinosaurs see.

It's a gift we are all born with.

Listen to the earth.

(drum banging)

Try and clear your mind of all thoughts.

We're all part of everything,

no more, or less.

Everything on earth
has the same heartbeat,

if you listen.

(roaring)
(stomping)

- I'm sorry, I'm gonna
start laughing in a minute.

You all have your mystical experience.

I'm going to bed.

- Alright, Karl.

Goodnight.

(roaring)

(thudding)

(low humming)

(stomping)

(beating)

(fire crackling)

- Hey David, you okay?

- Actually, I think okay
would be an understatement.

I can't remember feeling this good, ever.

- This is really something isn't it?

- Yeah, it's like, just, no words.

No words to describe this.

(gentle orchestral music)

- Samantha, we're in accord.

You're of the sea, you'll
work with the dolphins

of Dragonfly Coast.

Karl.

You are of the land.

You'll remain here and
train in the hatchery.

David.

You are of the sky.

- Of the sky?

- We're in accord.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, you'll undergo skybax
training in Canyon City.

. Okay-

- Marion, you're not assigned a habitat.

Bethany, you're of the land.

You'll study climate in the great plains.

- Why didn't you assign me a habitat?

- You're not of the sea,

you're not of the earth, or the sky.

You're, you're special,
you're of everything.

- But what if I don't want to be special?

- I want you to go to
Canyon City, with David.

It has the largest Pteranodon
swarms on Dinotopia,

and they're becoming
increasingly aggressive.

I want you to study them.

- You're just giving me something to do.

- No, what I'm asking you
to do is very dangerous,

and I don't ask it lightly.

Marion, the lights are going
out all over Dinotopia.

- But what does that have
to do with the Pteranodons?

Or with me?

- Lend your mind to the problem.

A single raindrop raises the sea.

Oh, and look after David.

He's part of the solution.

- Look, I don't wanna
stay here without you.

- If you really care about me, then try.

Trust my mother.

- Karl, Karl I really can't say how much

Marion and I are gonna miss you.

- We really will miss you, Karl.

- You're not really joining
the Skybax, are you?

I mean, the first time you see
one of those birds up close,

you're gonna freak.

- Don't worry, I'll look after David.

- Oh really?

- Actually, we'll look after each other.

- Breathe deep, Karl.

- Yeah you too.

(growling)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Selcacoot, stay left, left.

Selcacoot, Selcacoot.

- (laughs) You're very funny, David.

- Marion, I don't know who
your mom's trying to kid.

Karl should be the one going
to Canyon City, not me.

- Why do you say that?

- Karl would know how
to ride a novalander.

- I think my mother knows
what she's doing, David.

There's more to you than meets the eye.

She knew that the moment
she met you, and so did I.

(dinosaurs moaning)

- You've gotta stop doing this to me.

- What are you talking about?

- Climbing is what I'm talking about.

This is like a chronic nightmare

within a very, very bad dream.

- David, it's beautiful.

Come on, I'll hold your hand.

There it is, David, Canyon City.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(dinosaurs screeching)

There's the Amu River, can you see it?

- There's no way I'm looking down there.

How far down is that?

- [Marion] 6,000 feet.

- 6,000 feet?

That's not possible,
nothing is 6,000 feet down.

Your mother's made a terrible mistake,

and I have to tell someone here,

who's in charge, right away.

- Breathe deep.

- Seek peace.

- I'm Marion, and this is David.

- I know, I'm Romana Denison.

Welcome to Canyon City.

- Thanks.

- Marion, the city council
is waiting to welcome you.

- I'm going to see you again soon, right?

- I'll see you very soon, don't worry.

- I'll show you to your quarters.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- [Romana] By the way,
that's not what flyers say.

- What do you mean?

- Well, the reply to
breathe deep is fly high.

- Fly high, Okay-

So, are you as terrified
as I am about this course?

- Not at all.

I've waited all my life
for this opportunity.

- Right.

And you think it's a good idea,

living this high up on
the edge of a cliff?

- But you see, it's part of
getting closer to the Skybax.

We learn to see the world the way they do.

Here we are.

This will be your station.

I'm next door if you need anything.

From now on, you must wear
your uniform at all times.

Your first class will
begin at dawn tomorrow.

You must not be late.

(wind whistling)

(soft orchestral music)

(bell ringing)

(door creaking)

- Hi, they gave me this card.

- Follow me.

You've got to be very quiet.

A triceratops has just given birth.

- You're not related to
Rosemary or Marion, are you?

- Rosemary's my mother, and
Marion's my elder sister.

Here we are.

(dinosaurs squeaking)

- Wow.

- This is the incubation room.

Warmer temperatures change
developing embryos to males,

and cooler, to females.

You can normally tell when
they're ready because,

before hatching, the eggs squeak.

Have a listen.

- They squeak?

- [Samantha] Yep.

- Oh yeah, huh.

- Let's see your ticket.

26,26, 26...

26.

Okay Karl, this one's yours.

- What do you mean, mine?

- [Samantha] You have to look after it.

- No, I don't understand.

- [Samantha] It's your
saurian life partner.

(dramatic music)

- Breathe deep.

- [Cadets] Fly high.

- I am Oonu, squadron
leader of the Skybax Corp,

and I will be your instructor.

There are approximately 4,200 Dinotopians

working in Canyon City,

and only 12 Skybax riders
each year are selected.

Step forward.

The statues you see before
you are called the Sentinels.

They divide the canyon.

The air above them belongs to the Skybax.

The space below, to the Pteranodons.

Since the two species split
long ago, all attempts

to communicate with the
Pteranodons have failed.

You cannot ride a Skybax if
you have fear in your heart.

They will sense that fear
and they will not approach.

In a moment, third year cadets

will begin their morning flight.

Until then, observe.

(dinosaurs squawking)

(loud thudding)

(squawking)

(air whooshing)

- Concentrate, listen to
their smallest movements.

- Is this your idea of a joke?

- Take her back to the
incubation room at once.

Do you want to kill your partner?

- Partner, what are you talking about?

- Class, thank you.

Karl, this is your Saurian partner.

Now take her back, where it's warm.

- Who said I wanted a partner?

I agreed to stay here and work.

I didn't agree to this.

- Karl, what did you feel,

when you communed with the Brachiosaurus?

- I don't know.

I guess, I felt something.

It's really hard to explain.

- You felt part of something
more than yourself.

- Okay maybe, but...

- You felt part of our world.

It's all I have to teach you, Karl,

but it's the most important
thing you'll ever learn.

Now, put her back.

She needs to be kept warm.

- You keep calling it a her.

How do you know it's a her?

- I just know things, Karl, remember?

(dinosaurs squeaking)

- Sixth code of Dinotopia.

- [Cadets] Observe, listen, and learn.

- In Canyon City, your
lives will depend on it.

Do you understand?

- [Cadets] Yes sir.

- First lesson, you never ride a Skybax,

you ride with a Skybax, observe.

(air whooshing)

(dinosaurs squawking)

The morning flight, where
you pass within inches

of the Sentinel barrier, is
one of the finest experiences

in all of Dinotopia.

It is also one of the most dangerous.

You have a hundred days
to learn how to do that.

Now face.

We can only live here because we respect

the territory of our neighbours.

Any student who descends below
the line of the Sentinels

will be instantly
expelled from Canyon City.

- Excuse me, sir?

I think I'm in the wrong place.

This seems to be a course for pilots,

and I'm probably ground crew or something.

- To commune with the
Skybax, you must first

learn to think as they do.

Observe them, watch
them, see how they fly.

(machine squeaking)

This machine simulates sudden changes

in wind and air currents,

which you will experience in the Canyon.

Let us begin.

Cadet,

you first.

Come forward.

Unless you enjoy flying backwards,

I suggest you turn around, sir.

You will naturally want
to hold on to the harness,

but before you can fly a real Skybax,

you will have also learned
to ride without holding on.

Are you comfortable, cadet?

- Mm hmm.

(wind whistling)

(lever creaking)

(air whooshing)

(thudding)

- Falling off here is amusing.

Falling off in the canyon, is not.

Again, cadet.

(air whooshing)

(thudding)
(grunting)

Again, cadet.

(thudding)
(grunting)

Again.

(thudding)
(grunting)

Again.

(yelling)
(thudding)

Again!

(thudding)
(groaning)

- Uh, sir?

I wonder if I should sit this one out.

(air whooshing)

(lever creaking)

- When the Skybax moves, lean in with it.

You will find your balance.

(lever creaking)

(air whooshing)

(tense orchestral music)

(wind whistling)

(gentle orchestral music)

(dinosaurs squawking)

(squealing)

(dinosaurs growling)

(dinosaur moaning)

- So exciting.

He's only an adolescent
but, the rest of the group

rejected him, because he's an albino,

but I think I can make contact with him.

It was fantastic.

So, how's your training going?

- Oh, it's thrilling, yeah,

I get a big thrill falling
off that Skybax machine.

- Really?

- Oh yeah, I mean, I don't
think it would be more fun

if they were driving nails into my head.

(chuckling)

- Well, I think you look very
handsome in your uniform.

What?

- Nothing, just, please be
careful down there, okay?

I don't know what I'd do
here without you around.

(machine humming)

- [Voice over] It's failing us, look!

(dinosaurs squawking)

- The sunstones are
failing here, aren't they?

What happens when they all die?

- I don't know.

(roaring)

(screaming)

(chiming)

- Well, we have encountered
problems like this before,

and the solution has always
been to keep a calm mind

and use our intellect.

(clapping)

- Well, well, well, well, well.

- Hmmm?

- As you sit there debating,
all the sunstones are failing.

- You have not been recognized
by the floor, Mr. Crabb.

- Does the floor recognize these?

(crowd gasping)

(dinosaur growling)

The sunstones are failing, and your mayor

stands there beneath the
prow of a wrecked ship,

leading you into yet another disaster.

- That is scare mongering,
and we will not tolerate it.

I can announce today that
by the end of the month,

there will be 12 new sunstone restorers.

Now, the life of a fading sunstone

could be dramatically improved
with skilled attention.

- What about the sunstone reserves?

(groaning)

- None of your business.

- Absolutely right.

- Yes, you must mean as the reeks

are chewing their way through your throne.

We want the truth.

How many sunstones are
left in the city vaults?

- Well the, (clears throat)

the reserves are severely depleted.

- They're all gone.

(growling)

I petition the senate to grant me access

to documentation of the world beneath

and the ancient library of Dinotopia.

We must prepare an expedition.

- Sit down, Mr. Crabb.

In the interest of democracy,
we must allow others to speak.

(crowd loudly chattering)

(gavel pounding)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Professor, professor,
could you spare me a moment?

- Yes, and you are?

- I'm Cyrus Crabb, I'm
a dealer of antiques.

I heard your lecture in
the senate the other day.

It was a rather brilliant presentation.

- It was hardly a lecture.

- See, I've recently come into possession

of an ancient scroll...

- Scroll?

- And uh, being a somewhat
uneducated fellow,

I can't really make it out in detail but,

I believe it relates to the world beneath.

- The world beneath, really?

- I welcome your expertise,
and I'm sure a scholar

of your standing would have no
trouble identifying the text.

I mean, if it's not too
much of an imposition.

- Oh, no no no, not at all.

It would be a pleasure.

- If you're sure you don't
mind, my shop's just up here.

- Yes, well I suppose I
could have a look at it now.

Yes, yes, this language hasn't been used

in over a thousand years.

It's incredible.

Off the tip of the southern
coast in a small reef

bordered back to the
south of the Polongo River

lies a diamond cave.

Almost 300 feet below sea level

the cave is guarded by, oh dear.

The writing has been washed away.

I would like to read more.

I believe this scroll
describes an entrance

to the world beneath.

- Well, you take your time professor.

- Mm hmmm.

- You know, I've only just realized

that we may have some friends in common.

- Oh yes?

- The two boys on the plane,
didn't they lodge with you?

- David and Karl Scott?

- Yes, yes.

I had a little cry when I
heard what happened to them,

tumbling over the Great Falls like that,

terrible, terrible.

But then I heard rumours
that they may have survived.

- Well I've just left the boys in Vadaba.

They're safe and well.

- Safe and well, really, really.

Well that is good news.

- I don't believe it.

This, this belongs to
the library of Dinotopia.

This was stolen.

- Stolen? (laughing)

Well that's a rather harsh term.

- This figurine is from the city museum.

This is a terrible theft.

- The museum, no, no.

- What else have you taken?

I'm going to have to report
you to the authorities.

- I don't think so, scaley.

(clunking)

(grunting)

(dinosaurs squealing)

(gentle orchestral music)

- This is crazy.

I mean, what am I doing here?

(sadistic laughing)

- [Zippo] Oh, let me out!

(grunting)

Help!

Let me out right away!

Why can't we just live in harmony?

(groaning)

(splashing)

Please, I can't swim!

- Harmony's overrated.

(sadistic laughing)

- [Zippo] Where are you going?

Please, come back!

Help!

(water splashing)

Help.

Oh my good lord Ogthar.

(squealing)

(fire crackling)

(wings flapping)

- Woah!

- Oh, Oh!

(squawking)

I have a message for Karl Scott.

It is polite after long journeys

to offer the postal
bird a drink, you know.

- Of course, one second.

Here you go.

(coughing)

- Greetings from Marion at Canyon City.

I miss seeing your face.

David seems permanently terrified,

but I'm trying to keep his spirits up.

You're in my thoughts
many times in the day.

End of message.

- Wait, wait, can I send a reply back?

- More than 20 words incurs a surcharge.

(creaking)

(air whooshing)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(thudding)
(grunting)

(dinosaurs squealing)

- No movement yet?

- Nothing, not even a shake.

What's she gonna be when she hatches,

other than big?

- She's a Chasmosaurus, one
of the Hadrosaur family.

- And what do you know about them?

- They honk, loudly.

(sawing)

- Today is about fear.

Last year, a cadet almost fell
to his death on this climb,

so your vigilance is vital.

Follow me.

Come on.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(wind whistling)

(fire crackling)

(squawking)

(tapping)

- What?

It's hatching.

Samantha, it's happening.

I think I see something.

(cracking)

(squeaking)

- What are you going to name her?

- Name her?

I'm not gonna name her anything.

I can't take responsibility for her.

(squealing)

What does she want?

- She thinks you're her mommy.

- She wants you to feed her.

- [Karl] Ah, you've gotta be kidding.

Oh no.

- [Zippo] If you help me out of here,

I promise, I won't finish the thesis.

- Hey, Wally, come here.

- [Voice over] What?

- What do you think that is?

- [Voice over] I don't know, it's moving.

- [Zippo] Oh, for goodness
sakes, open the bag.

(wind howling)

(rocks crumbling)

- Be my guest.

- [Romana] Here, let me help you.

(grunting)

- Come on, that's it.

You can do it, good.

- Come on.

(rocks crumbling)

David, what's wrong?

- It's the height.

I think, I think I'm
having a panic attack.

- Remember, you are of the sky.

- I am not of the sky.

I don't know who said that.

If anything, I'm of the couch.

I can't do this.

- Here, take my hand.

- You must face your fear
if you are to overcome it.

Fear is the future.

There is no fear in the present,
only action and reaction.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(thudding)
(grunting)

This rock is the place
from which Gideon Altaire

formed the Corp and flew the
very first Skybax mission.

It is a tradition that every new recruit

writes their name on this rock.

Jump across, and add your
name to this illustrious list.

(thudding)
(grunting)

Well done.

(thudding)
(grunting)

(thudding)

(thudding)
(grunting)

(grunting)
That's it, well done.

Come on, cadet.

(wind howling)

Make the jump.

- No, no, I can't do that.

- Make the jump, cadet.

- I can't do it!

- [Oonu] Make the jump, come on.

- Come on, David.

- I can't.

- See me tonight after training.

(squawking)

- Easy now.

(gentle orchestral music)

(dinosaur squawking)

(dinosaur purring)

- This saddle belonged
to my grandfather, Oolu,

who taught the great Will Denison,

the finest Skybax rider ever.

Romana is his daughter,
and has many of his skills.

- I don't see why anyone
thinks I could ride a Skybax.

I have a terrible fear of heights.

And I don't see how anyone
who hasn't experienced that

can really understand.

- You're not frightened of heights, David,

you're frightened of something else.

Come forward.

Do you know who's this is?

- No.

- This belonged to Gideon
Altaire, who formed the Corp.

The first man to ever ride a wild Skybax.

- Great.

- He was two years younger
than you when he did it, cadet.

Of all the things you
do in your life, David,

nothing will ever compare to the sensation

of flying a Skybax for the first time.

- No, no, I can't do it sir,
I've been wrongly assigned.

Trust me, I know.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(sawing)

(air whooshing)

(growling)

(banging)

(grunting)

- No cadet has ever failed my course,

and you will not be the first.

- [Voice over] Captain!
(bell ringing)

- What is it?

- Someone's down there.

(screaming)

- It's Marion.

(growling)

(chiming)

Marion, are you alright?

- I'm fine.

- Come on, gotta get
you outta here, come on.

- What were you thinking?

Look at you.

- They're scratches, they will heal.

- You disobeyed me.

You deliberately went
beyond the safety barriers.

Your father gave me express instructions

that you are not to be put in danger.

- My father...

- Your father is mayor of Waterfall City

and holds me responsible for your safety.

- My mother sent me to
study the Pteranodons.

She said they could hold a...

- You are not the only one concerned

with the future of Dinotopia.

The fact is, you could've been killed.

Your study of the Pteranodons is now over.

You are confined to quarters

until further notice, understood?

Is that understood?

- Sir.

- Why isn't she making any noise?

Maybe something's wrong with her.

- It's very strange.

Hydrosaurs are known for
their powerful voices.

Maybe it's the trauma of her birth.

- She is an orphan.

- Really?

- Last month, the village
of Somala was destroyed

by the Tyrannosauras
herd that attacked you.

Her mother was giving
birth when it happened.

She was trampled to death.

- It's very rare for a
dinosaur to lay so many eggs.

26 in all.

- All the eggs were smashed, but this one.

A Skybax rider brought her here.

- So, have you decided on a name yet?

- I told you, I'm not
gonna give her a name,

because I'm not keeping her.

- But you have to name her.

- Alright, okay.

Urn...

26, that's what I'm gonna call her, happy?

- Well basically it's a variation

on the standard pincer
movement from World War ll.

- [Oonu] Pincer movement?

- Right, I thought maybe the
squadron could split in two,

with riders attacking straight
ahead in arrow formation,

and the others circling around

and dividing the herd from
behind, like a pincer.

(tense orchestral music)

- Very impressive, thank you.

(laughing)

- [Voice over] Well done.
- [Voice over] Nice work.

- [Voice over] Good idea.

(gentle orchestral music)

(waves lapping)

(boards creaking)

(banging)

- Very impressive.

- What?

Oh, it's you, hey Cyrus.

- Never had you down as a nautical man.

- My father used to race yachts.

- Really.

- [Karl] So uh, what brings you here?

- I've been thrown out of Waterfall City

for asking the wrong questions.

Still, they know best about
everything, don't they?

- Yeah, they always seem to know best.

- You know what I like about you, Karl?

Life's done you no favours.

You're like me, you've been
knocked down so many times

but you always manage to
get up again, don't you?

You're a fighter.

Listen,

forget it.

Try to cross that razor reef,
it'll slice you in half.

- What, do you think I'm gonna spend

the rest of my life here or something?

- Listen, listen, without a
pirate chart, you're dead.

Now the gap in the reef,

with this chart, at low tide,

you could sail straight through.

- Well, can you get it for me?

- I will if I can.

(laughs) I will for you, Karl.

You can rely on me, Karl.

(air whooshing)

(tense orchestral music)

- That's it, that's it, hold on.

Fly with it.

Stay with it, that's it.

And control it.

That's it, that's it David.

You've got it.

(clapping)

That was great, David.

- [David] Thanks.

- [Romana] You've done it.

- As you have now completed your training,

I have something to give you
before I dismiss the class.

When you've flown your
Skybax for a full year,

you may add your name to
the other great riders

engraved on the saddle.

(thumping)

Cadet Romana.

I have something special for you.

You should have this.

- This was my father's.

- He would've been very proud.

Breathe deep.

- Fly high.
(thumping)

- Before you leave, you must
remember that the Pteranodons

are now hunting above the Sentinel line,

and that Canyon city
has a curfew at sundown.

Cadet David, please stay behind.

The rest of you are
dismissed, breathe deep.

- [Cadets] Fly high.

(cadets chattering)

- So...

- You have made great progress,

but you are still bound to the earth.

- You're gonna fail me?

I have done everything you asked me to,

and I am just as good as
any of the other cadets.

What more do you want me to do?

- Spend a night with the Skybax,

sleep in their nests, then,
I will give you a saddle.

- (laughs) ls this a joke?

That's impossible.

You know I can't do that.

- Cadet David, you are dismissed.

(thumping)

(chattering in background)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- I heard what happened.

(dinosaurs squawking in background)

- You know I'm leaving.

It's just a waste of time.

He just wants me to resign from
the Corp, that's all it is.

- David.

- How can I climb up to those nests?

- Did he say you have
to climb on your own?

- No, but...

- But then I'll Climb with you.

Unless you would rather climb

with one of your fellow
cadets, such as Romana Denison.

- I like Romana very much.

- I thought so.

- But I don't wanna climb with Romana.

- We'd better get ready
for the climb, then.

Are you coming?

- Yeah.

- Cyrus.

(coughing)

- Don't talk to me, don't talk to me,

don't call me a friend.

I won't be, when I tell you the bad news.

- What?

- I could get you the pirate
chart you need but uh,

they won't part with it for nothing.

- You know I don't have any money.

- No no no no no no no, not money,

not money they need.

I'll tell you what they want.

That little sunstone
from the hatchery roof.

- No, no way, stealing
the book is one thing,

but I'm not taking their sunstone.

- Oh very noble, very noble choice.

What's more important?

Your life, or one of their
silly little sunstones?

They've got vaults full
of them in Waterfall City,

I've seen them with me own eyes.

- I don't know, Cyrus.

- What have the scaleys
ever done for you, eh?

I'll tell you, nothing.

Big fat nothing.

- I can't, it's a hatchery.

Anyway, if this chart is so great,

why are you still here?

- Oh I'm going.

I'm going, don't worry about that.

When I've got enough treasure

to make me king of the world, I'm going.

- I'll take my chances without this chart.

- Well you do that, you
do that, and you're dead,

dead as daddy, you understand?

Is that what you want?

- No.

- Well do you want to go home?

- Yeah.
- [Cyrus] Yeah.

- I wanna go home, I wanna go home.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(wind howling)

- I've changed my mind.

Let's go back.

- Don't look down.

Just take the next step.

Remember, one raindrop raises the sea.

- Will you quit with the sayings.

You know, you have a
saying for everything.

- David look, it's the albino.

I think he's following us.
(dinosaur squawking)

(grunting)

Come on David, you can do it.

- I can't take much more of this.

- David, you've got to
stop fighting yourself.

You must learn to let go of your fears.

- Well you're not perfect yourself.

- No one's perfect, but since you clearly

have something to say,
perhaps you can tell me

what my imperfections are.

Maybe I can improve.

- No, let's just stop this right here,

because we'll only end up arguing.

- I don't argue with anybody.

- There, that's it, it's things like that.

"I don't argue with anybody."

Why is that?

It's because you're
convinced that you're right,

and everybody else is wrong.

I mean, why can't you just loosen up,

or behave badly, or tell a lie?

(grunting)

(yelling)

- Marion!

- [Marion] David!

- Hold on.

Stay there.

I'm coming.

- David please help me, I can't move.

- Here, take my hand.

Take it, come on.

That's right.

Just a little more.

Are you sure you're okay?

- Yes, a little scared but...

- We made it, Marion.

- Yes.

- It's amazing, isn't it?

- It is.

- Here, take my hand.

(calm orchestral music)

Whew, we did it, Marion.

(squealing)

(crashing)

(growling)

- 26, did you do this?

You know the rules.

(squealing)

I told you to stay in your crib, okay?

Now you stay in here and sleep.

That's it.

- It's pretty incredible up here, huh?

- Oonu's father made him climb up here,

before he could join the Corp.

- I'm sorry I shouted at you before.

I was just...

I was just scared.

- It's nothing.

It's forgotten.

You're going to fly, David.

I'm sure of it.

My mother's never wrong about such things.

Why are you looking at me like that?

What is it?

- Marion, ever since I saw
you with that Ankylosaurus,

you remember, with the toothache?

- Oh him, oh it was such a long time ago.

- Right, well,

I think it was then,

- Yes.

- What I mean is,

I think I'm falling in love with you.

I don't know how else to say it.

- In love?

- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that,

I'm sorry. (clearing throat)

- You don't have to apologize
for the way that you feel.

I'm very flattered.

- Flattered.

So there's no chance you have
any kind of feelings for me?

- When I saw you with
Romana, I felt something,

I don't know how to describe it.

- You did?

- Well there are certain
things my training

doesn't seem to have prepared me for.

♫ Why do birds suddenly appear

♫ Every time you are near

♫ Just like me, they long to be

♫ Close to you ♫

- Message for Marion.

Hope you enjoyed the song.

- Message from who?

- Message from Karl Scott.

- Oh. (laughing)

- I don't believe it.

This can't be happening.

How can we be here, alone,
on top of the world,

and my brother is sending you singagrams?

That is so, typical.

- He sends me messages all the time.

- He does?

- Well, I think he might be lonely.

- Karl, lonely?

- [Voice over] Any reply?

- Yes there is a reply.

Nice to hear from you Karl,
we're fine, never better.

- Oh and don't forget
David's graduation ceremony,

yours, Marion.

- And David.

(wings flapping)

(soft orchestral music)

(grunting)

(chiming)

(wood creaking)

- Sorry Karl, can't have you
leaving the island just yet.

(squawking)

- Marion, Marion.

(air whooshing)

It just, dropped down out of the sky,

like he was in free fall or something.

- It's alright, it's
the albino Pteranodon.

He's followed us.

Hold very still.

He's communing with you.

You must speak his name.

- His name?

How am I supposed to know his name?

- Find it inside yourself.

(purring)

- His name is Freefall.

- Karl.

[Karl]- Hey.

- I knew you wouldn't let me down.

You have the sunstone?

- You have the chart?

- From your tone, I'd
think you didn't trust me.

- Good.

Sunstone.

- Well, I wish you all the luck

Cyrus Crabb has at his disposal.

- Thanks Cyrus.

- Chin up, I'm sure you'll make it.

I'm gonna miss you, Karl.

(grunting)

(water splashing)

You crook, you filthy, lousy cheat.

I like you.

Have a nice trip, sonny.

(squealing)

(thunder rumbling)

(chiming)

(squealing)

- Samantha, what's the matter?

- Karl has gone, and so's 26.

- Let's go and see
what's happened to them.

- What the...

(waves crashing)

(squealing)

- Karl, Karl!

(whimpering)

- Go away!

(screaming)

(water splashing)

26!

(dramatic orchestral music)

(squealing)

(air bubbling)

(coughing)

You're safe now.

- This graduation ceremony
will be your first

and only chance to
qualify as Skybax riders.

If a Skybax does not come
to you when you call,

or if you fail to ride it,

you will be dismissed from the Sky Corp.

Let us begin.

Cadet Romana.

- Good luck.

(tense orchestral music)

(dinosaurs squawking)

(air whooshing)

(squawking)

(clapping)

- Cadet David.

(growling)

Time to fly.

- You can do it, David.

- Did I miss something?

(laughing)

- I'm so glad you made it.

Look, David's about to
fly for the first time.

(wind whistling)

- You have been rejected, cadet.

Come down.

(sombre orchestral music)

I am sorry, David.

You will never ride a Skybax,

and you are dismissed
from the Corp forthwith.

(snoring)

- David, wait.

Look, I'm proud of you.

- Just, leave me alone, okay?

- You tried, you didn't quit.

I wish dad coulda seen you.

- He didn't need to see me fail again.

- You didn't fail.

Wait, Dave, Dave.

- Leave him.

(banging)

- I can do this.

(wind whistling)

- I don't believe it.

He's gonna jump.

- No he's not, Karl, leave him.

(squawking)

(wings flapping)

(thudding)

- Come on.

(exciting orchestral music)

David!

(air whooshing)

- Look!

- Did you see that?

Way to go, David!

(laughing)

(wings flapping)

(squawking)

(dramatic orchestral music)
