"It's just, most of those deeds have been under the city's possession since the early 1900s." "It's just nobody has been able to do anything with the land." "That's because it's haunted." "Bayou Bob may not want you fooling around in those swamps." "Your honor, we'd be more likely to believe in such urban myths if it wasn't standing in the way of millions of dollars in revenue to be made." "I see your point."

"I'm the last LeRouge left." "Thought it was my duty, you know, for family honor to find the LeRouge treasure." "Been in these bayous for ten years, never seen so much as a single doubloon." "But what's with the fake getup?" "You look ridiculous." "What?" "He does." "(CLAYTON SIGHS)" "I know, I know." "It's the best I could come up with." "Not like roaming the swamps is a well-paying job." "But, it was the only way I could convince Grandpa LeRouge to let me stick around." "I scare people every day and then I help him hunt for treasure every night." "That would keep these swamps safe." "Well, they won't be for long." "This place is a week away from becoming a concrete jungle." "What do I look like to you, an idiot?" "Kind of." "Listen, everyone knows that this is private land." "That's why no one's touched it for some 200 years." "Well, it sounds like these guys are going to buy it tomorrow." "You'll never find your treasure if it ends up under a parking lot." "She's telling the truth." "We just want to help you get rid of them." "Yeah?" "What's in it for you, huh?" "Are you after the treasure?" "No, no, no." "We have a friend that lives in these swamps." "We're just trying to help him keep his home." "Now I know you're lying." "No one lives in these here swamps but me and Granddad." "And he's dead." "He's not really a he, as much as an it, I think." " What does it look like?" " TODDSTER:" "Alligator." "EMILY:" "Turtle." "GAVIN:" "Monkey." "He's not a monkey or an alligator." " He's the Labou." " CHILDREN:" "Labou?" "Yeah, the Labou." "You know, the secret of the swamp, the songbird of the South, the lifeblood of Louisiana." "Ten years in this bayou," "I've only ever caught a glimpse of the sneaky little guy." "You say you've seen him?" "Seen him?" "I had him in my backpack till about ten minutes ago." "What, you actually held one of them?" "There's more than one?" "The swamps are full of them." "But they don't like to be seen and they're pretty crafty, so no one ever gets to." "But at night, if you sit real still, you can hear them sing." "The legend has it that their song was the original inspiration for jazz." "I don't believe it." "Todd, at this point, stranger things have happened to us." "It's Toddster." "Oh, yeah, my name is Clayton." "Clayton LeRouge." "Pleasure to meet you all." "Any friend of Labou is a friend of mine." "I'm Gavin." "And this is Emily." "(GIGGLES) Hi." " CLAYTON:" "So, where's the Labou?" " Those cowboys scared him off." "I think he knows he's in danger." "Ah, don't you worry, lass, we pirates have a few tricks up our sleeve." "This land hasn't been marauded for 200 years for a reason." "(CLAYTON AND LEROUGE EXCLAIMING)" "(RONALD EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)" "REGGIE:" "Are we looking for the kids or the oil?" "(INSECTS BUZZING)" "RONALD:" "I don't know, I thought you had a plan." "How come I have to have a plan?" "Why can't you have a plan?" "Calm down, you moron." "If I depended on you to have a plan, you think I'd be walking around these swamps in Versace boots?" "We're looking for both." "If we find the kids, and they have the map, the problem's solved." "If we find the prime drilling location, we get the money in the bank, the kids are a mere mosquito at the picnic of our lives." "There better be a dead bug on my face or you're walking back to Texas." "Hey." "Don't break that." "Those things cost, like, 14 bucks." "Once those guys get a look at this getup, they will be running with their tails between their legs." "Are you sure this is going to work?" "Absolutely." "Works every time." "I call this "Long John Silver."" "Uh." "Can you help me up?" "(ALL GRUNTING)" "(CLAYTON EXCLAIMS)" "(CLAYTON CHUCKLES)" "(EXCLAIMING)" "Unbelievable." "This is not what I had in mind." "We best find that oil quite quick." "'Cause I need to buy me a new suit." "Think of the money, we'll be rich, think of the money." "(RONALD EXCLAIMING)" ""The Internet is the future, Ronald."" ""Put your money in the Web, Ronald."" "Where are those guys now, Reggie?" "(LABOU CROAKING)" "I'd like to feed them to a pack of wild coyotes." "But they'll all come crawling back when we get the refinery built." "(REGGIE SHUSHING)" "Daddy, listen." "There's something out here." "(CROAKING)" " It's just an animal." " Yeah, but what kind?" "This ain't the Discovery Channel." "The only animal we would be looking for is one that's covered in oil." "Well, that's just it." "When I saw them kids earlier, they had an animal with them." "Like a monkey." "The kids had a monkey in the Louisiana bayou?" "I think so." "Except it was green, like a frog." "A green monkey." "Reginald, when we get back to Texas," "I want you to see a doctor." "I think it was an alien." "Tan my hide." "I can't believe it." "I know." "How cool would it be to find an alien?" "Not an alien, you space cadet, oil." "We found oil." "(WHOOPING)" "Did we?" "See all of this growth?" "This is the result of heavy mineral deposits." "And where there's minerals there's..." "Aliens?" "I blame your mother." "Oil, you idiot." "Where there's minerals there's oil." "We're golden." "(LEAVES RUSTLING)" "Something's out there." "This is the home stretch, son." "Nothing's gonna come between us and our money." "It's like I always taught you, stand your ground there." "(BELLOWING)" "Run!" "That's right, the ghost of LeRouge says get out." "It's Bayou Bob." "Do something." "Why do I have to do something, why can't you do something?" "Don't let me see your pasty faces around these here parts again." "Man overboard." "I think he's gone." "He can't just disappear." "Well, he could if he's a ghost." "Reggie, there's no such thing as ghosts." "That was some freak on stilts." "He sure scared you." "Don't talk back to me, son, or I will kick you off the Board." "Now, let's get to the truck, get the equipment and get the ball rolling so no more freaky geeky stuff happens." "GAVIN:" "He fell over here." "EMILY:" "Hurry." "We have to find him." "TODDSTER:" "Oh, I found him." "I found him." "(SPURTING)" " Come on." " Are they gone?" "Yeah, but not because you scared them." "You took that right between the eyes." "Would you please be quiet for five seconds?" " Those guys are coming back." " Yeah." "And they're tough." "We're gonna have to go hardcore scare tactics to get rid of them." "I don't think that's the plan anymore." "You heard them, they found what they were after." "We just have to make sure they can't tell anyone until the deadline passes." "Gav, I think we're in over our heads." "Guys, we can do this as a team, as friends." "Now, who's in?" "EMILY:" "Todd." "Come on, please." "Great, so the first thing we need to find is a phone." "Oh, well, I have one." "Well, you know, not on me, but back in the Solomon mansion." "Who could you possibly talk to on the phone?" "Captain Hook?" "No." "It's for emergencies." "Stuff." "Pizza deliveries." "Hey, a phone's a phone." "Now here's our plan." "We split into two groups..." "What's wrong with this thing?" "Would you stop?" "I swear I never met a softer cowboy than you." "Do you hear me complaining about having to hold my arm up all this time?" " But, Pa..." " "But, Pa" nothing." "And stop getting mud on my suit." "I should make you pay the dry cleaning bill as it is." "Come on." "What's wrong with this thing?" "(BLEEPING)" "We got something." "It says, 39 degrees longitude, 90 degrees latitude." " We're rich." " We're rich." "(EXCLAIMING)" "GAVIN:" "Hey." " It's one of them kids." " Get him." "Get back here." "Oh, my suit." "Hey, it's the pirate." "Who was you expecting, matey?" "Santa Claus?" "Wait a minute." "You're no pirate." "What are you?" "I'm leaving." "GAVIN:" "Incoming." " Clayton, catch me." " I got you." "(BEEPING)" "GAVIN:" "Uh-oh, cowboy!" "CLAYTON:" "Run." "Get off of me." "It's locked." "We have to figure out a way to keep this car from driving." "Too bad your brainiac boyfriend isn't here to think of something." "That kid is so full of hot air." "That's it, we'll let the air out of the tires." "Come on." "But they can still drive it." "But not very far on these roads." "At least it's a start." "Stop being such a wuss." "I am not a wuss." "Well, he can give it, but he sure can't take it." "Now, that's the spirit." "(CROAKING)" "Labou, I knew you'd come back." "Hey there, buddy." "Oh, real cute." "Look, we'd better get these other tires before Buffalo Blob and Billy the Skid Mark shows up." "CLAYTON:" "What is that chirpy thing?" "GAVIN:" "It's global positioning satellite device." "CLAYTON:" "A what?" "GAVIN:" "It relays to a satellite in orbit to tell you your exact location on the planet." "They've been around for years." "Well, I don't get out much." "Well, that's not gonna do us much good." "We just need to figure out how to get back to the Solomon Plantation." "Don't you worry about that." " Well, I know these swamps like..." " GAVIN:" "Let me guess." "Like the back of your hand." "Well, actually, I was gonna say like the bark of that tree." "See that knobbly one over there?" "That tree means we are three miles from the house." "Bark faces the Mississippi, moss faces the plantation." "Pretty cool." "We should get going." "If Emily and Todd took the road, they should be there by now." "(MUMBLING)" "What?" "RONALD:" "Huh?" "Not all of them." "Those no-good brats." "What business do they have in my businesses?" " Our businesses." " Shut up." "Let me get the spare out." "What's wrong with you, we got four flat tires." "Well, at least I'm trying to do something." "Wanna do something?" "Figure out a way to get the co-ordinates to the investors before the banks close." "Well, the tires are flat, but the phone's not broken, is it?" "That's my boy, always thinking, always in the game." "(MUSICAL HORN CHIMING)" "(CHUCKLING)" "(RINGING TONE)" "We have a signal." " OTHENFELL:" "Hello?" " Hello, Mr. Othenfell?"

" I wanna make sure that you have the co-ordinates so you can wire the money as discussed." "OTHENFELL:" "Be glad to." "Now, do you have a pen?" " OTHENFELL:" "Yes, sir." " Good, they are..." " What?" " OTHENFELL:" "Ronald?" "What "what"?" "Give me the co-ordinates." "You never said I had to remember the co-ordinates." " You had the GPS." " But I don't have it now." "That's why I said the numbers out loud, so that you could remember them, in the off-chance some kid comes swinging through a tree and steal my equipment." "You're making that up." "No, sir, it's just this new technology, it kind of acts up." "Could you hold just one second?" "Think, we need those co-ordinates." "I got it." "11-27-81." "That's your birthday, you idiot." "I know there was a four in it." "44-17-39." " OTHENFELL: 44?" " Wait, wait that was my high school locker combination." "There's only two numbers, a latitude and a longitude." "That makes it a little easier." " Is there a one?" " No." " How about a two?" " No." "Any threes?" "OTHENFELL:" "Are we still connected, Ronnie?" "Yes, sir, seems like we have a bad signal."

"All the way around to Dead Man's Knoll here." "It's creepy." "That's why they call it Dead Man's Knoll." "And you never found the treasure?" "Do you think it even exists?" "I was doubtful first myself." "But after meeting Granddad, I was pretty hopeful." "Once you start having heart-to-heart conversations with a ghost, you tend to be a little more open-minded about things." "Come on." "(CROAKING)" "You like that?" "Here, watch this one." "(PURRING)" "You ain't seen nothing yet." "Oh, yeah, that was nice." " I think he likes you." " Yeah, right." "Hey, Toddster." "It's..." "What?" "I just wanna say I'm sorry for not believing you." "I'm really glad we got to hang out." "This has really been the greatest adventure of my whole entire life." "Yeah, well, enjoy it." "'Cause there won't be a next time."

"I'm gonna write your parents a letter about how you trespassed and stole personal property." "Whatever." "Is that the best you can come up with?" "You need to be more ruthless."

"The swamp is lost, this whole thing is a disaster." "Calm down, Captain Cry Baby, we're not done yet." "If we can't get those guys to leave this place alone, we need to beat them at their own game." "Sure." "All we need to do is get to the mayor in the next two hours and buy the land out from under them." "News flash!" "That would cost, like, millions of dollars." "That's why we need to find LeRouge's treasure, now." "Do you really think that we could find a pirate ship that's been missing for 200 years?" "Not without the maps." "I knew it was you." "But, Labou wouldn't have gone through our stuff." "GAVIN:" "Yeah." "But he had them." "Fine, I took them from your packs." "But he stole them from me." "Why did you take the maps?" "We were in this together." "I don't know." "I guess I thought you guys were gonna bail on me if you got the chance." "So, I was gonna bail on you first." "We would never do that to you, Todd." "I know that... now." "I'm sorry, guys." "Forty degrees, 50 paces, 10 degrees, south..." "If my calculations are correct, LeRouge's ship sank right here." "No, that's Dead Man's Knoll."

"He looked exactly like..." "Like that." "CLAYTON:" "Hurry." "(GROWLING)" "Well, I'll be a swayed back pony at a blue-ribbon show." "You were right, it is an alien." "We're gonna be rich."

"The alien took off with that crazy pirate!" "The things I do to be rich." "(MUSICAL HORN TRAILING OFF)" "You and your bright ideas." "Well, now we're gonna sink, so what's your idea?" "Open up the window, you fool." "Oh, no, close the window, you fool." "Close it." "Now what?" "We're trapped." "(BANGING)" "What does that little thing want?" "Wow, he wants to save us." "He's a good guy." "We've been saved by an alien." "Well, then hurry up and squeeze that fat head of yours through that hole before we become an alligator snack pack." "EMILY:" "Labou, over here." "We lost them." "We're getting close, aren't we?" "That's Dead Man's Knoll up ahead." "But, there's no treasure on it." "That's because the treasure is in it." "What are you talking about?" "Clayton, how many hills like that are there in these swamps?" "Well, there's..." "Oh, there's over..." "No." "There." "We could..." " Well, I guess none." " Precisely." "We're in the marshland." "Flat." "Water-soaked territory as far as the eye can see." "This hill is an anomaly." "Something needed to cause all of this dirt and foliage to wanna stay here when it doesn't stay anywhere else." "If a ship crashed down here with enough force to anchor into the mud, everything else caught in the storm would get slammed into it, burying it in a hill." "That would explain why even LeRouge couldn't find his ship." "It was buried before the storm was even over." "(GAVIN EXCLAIMING)" "Has to be here." "I don't know, guys." "Seems kind of obvious, just out here in the open." "It's probably best if we all just..." "Wow." " Who is that?" " You mean, what is that?" "It's a wooden carving." "A masthead." "Used on the bows of ships in the 1800s." "Unbelievable." "So it's been here all along." "Look." "GAVIN:" "Awesome." "EMILY:" "Wow." "This is so amazing." "TODDSTER:" "Check this out." "Broken." "GAVIN:" "I knew it." "CLAYTON:" "It's real, it's all real." "EMILY:" "It's beautiful." "TODDSTER:" "The nerd was right." "Cool." "CLAYTON:" "Two hundred years." "Two hundred years, Granddad, but we finally did it." "That's right, 200 years I have searched for this treasure and it is finally mine again." "So don't any of you think you'll be getting away with any of it alive." "But, we were gonna use the money to save the swamps." "The only thing that needs a saving are your necks." "Granddad, how could you?" "They are just kids." "Don't go wishy-washy on me now, you spineless liver lily." "All right, that's it, I've had enough." "What is it with all this "Arr" and "Walk the plank" stuff anyway?" "You're starting to believe the hype." "The game's over." "We found the treasure, so no more creepy pirate and no more bossing me around." "My granddad was a good man." "Doing what he had to do for the honor of his family." "Not scaring kids." "This is our treasure." "So why don't you go rest in peace or something?" "Clayton, me boy, are you declaring mutiny?" "No, sir, I'm just doing what you would have done when you were alive." "I've spent my life helping you find all this because it was important to you." "Now that we've found it," "I'm gonna use it to save something that's important to me." "And I didn't even know what that was until..." "Until right now." "I know this is the right thing." "It's been so long." "I had forgotten." "All I ever wanted was for my family treasure to be safe." "And what better hands to leave it in than yours?" "Do the family name a great honor, Clayton LeRouge." "Au revoir, Great-Grandson, and your worthy crew." "The treasure is yours." "GAVIN:" "Yeah." "EMILY:" "We did it." "Wait..." "Wait, how are we gonna get all this to the mayor?" "We are seriously out of time." "Do pirates have licenses?" "I understand your concerns and my heart is with you on this." "We have every available officer on the case." "We have photos everywhere." "We'll find them." "The whole city is looking." "I recommend that the state troopers do a lateral search plan." "We need to get these kids on television." "Parents, please." "Sir, there's a man here who claims to have information on the children." "Send him in." "Mayor Adams, it's a pleasure." "Do you know where the children are?" "Easy now, I saw the paper today and I felt it was my duty." "I came to tell you that I know where they are and I know where they've been." "I came to tell you, but you all are about to find out for yourselves." "Take a look." "Well, I'll be." "(PARENTS CHATTERING)" "(CLEARING THROAT)" "Mr. Mayor..." "Stand back, please." "Let these parents see their kids." "And let me find out what's really going on." "Honey, I was so worried." "I'm sorry, Mom, I wanted to come home but we had to stop this huge environmental disaster." "It's true." "The mayor here was planning on selling the swamps around the Solomon Plantation to this terrible oil company." "Now, hold on, there were offers but nothing firm was put on the table." "As a matter of fact, I am prepared to present a proposal to the public." "He gave them 48 hours to come up with the money, but we stopped them." "Otherwise, he was going to disrupt an ecosystem and eliminate an entire species indigenous only to the Louisiana territory." "Plus, they're gonna tear down the swamps and endanger the Labou." "That's what Gavin meant." "Oh, well, that's not all." "We found LeRouge's treasure and want to do the right thing." "That's all very fascinating, but just what, pray tell, is the right thing?" "Your honor, my name is Clayton LeRouge." "I'm the last in the great pirate's bloodline."
