"Turu!" "Turu!" "He come!" "No!" "No!" "Nuago!" "Nuago!" "Any luck, Hadji?" "Not yet, Jonny." "Hey!" "You got a bite." "Bring it in!" "Quick, Jonny, get the net." "It feels like a big one." "Get him in the net." "Careful, Bandit, he looks mean." "Leave him there a minute." "He'll give you a bad bite." "That's telling him, Bandit." "Look out!" "He's got a mouthful of sharp teeth." "What's the matter, Bandit?" "The kids picking on you?" "Troubles, old boy?" "Looks like one of his dog days." "l'll go check on the boys." "Look here, Race." "This sample proves it." "There is trinauxite somewhere near here." "Trinauxite?" "Yes, a new metal and absolutely essential to the space program." "Where does it come from?" "Right around here somewhere." "Take a look." "There are many trinauxite mines in the world but none half as pure as this sample assays." "Where did this sample come from?" "Someplace upriver." "A native and his brother gave it to me and said it's from the land of the Turu." "Land of the Turu?" "Yes, Race." "And we've got to find it before somebody else does." "Dad!" "Race!" "Quick, come out here!" "Sounds urgent." "Let's go." "Look, an empty canoe." "Race, get the boat." "There's someone in that canoe." "Okay, hold it there." "ls he alive?" "l don't know." "Let's get him aboard and head for shore." "Turn him over, Race." "Okay." "That's him." "Who?" "One of the brothers who gave me the ore sample." "He's coming to." "Turu!" "Nuago!" "Turu!" "Turu!" "Jonny, run up to the ore lab and get my bag." "We've got to bring this fellow around." "Okay, Dad. I'll be right back." ""Turu." What does "Turu" mean, doctor?" ""Turu" means bird." "Bird?" "Yes." "We'll bring him to and try to get his story." "That's impossible, Aku." "No bird alive could be big enough to lift a man." "Si, si, big Turu." "Big bird take Nuago." "This Turu." "This Turu." "Me see." "This Turu have skin, no feather." "He fly." "That's impossible." "What is it?" "It's a likeness of the pteranodon." "There hasn't been a pteranodon here for a million years." "Me see." "Me see." "Him take Nuago." "Me see." "Who's Nuago?" "Aku's brother." "Why, it's incredible." "It's unbelievable." "Where is this Turu, Aku?" "Where bright rock comes from." "One day, maybe two days up river." "My brother give you stone from land of Turu." "Of course, the trinauxite." "Race, make arrangements to charter a boat." "Right away, doctor." "And you boys get packed." "We're going on a trip." "Aku, you will come with us." "Be our guide." "No, Turu, Turu come!" "We'll take care of Turu and nothing will happen to you." "Doctor, you really think there is a giant bird?" "There may be some large species in that area." "But big bird or no, we've got to find the source of that trinauxite ore." "Let's get moving, fellas." "This is important." "Look, Jonny." "The river narrows." "Yeah." "Hey, Dad, the jungle looks kind of spooky up ahead." "Yes, it looks dark and mysterious." "lt's dark, all right." "But it isn't too mysterious." "Bad crocodile country coming up pretty soon." "Crocs won't attack a boat, will they, skipper?" "Mister, you haven't seen crocs till you've seen these." "They'll attack anything if they're hungry enough." "Just keep your eyes peeled is all." "Look, Hadji!" "Crocodiles!" "They're heading for the boat!" "Over here, too." "Look!" "Dad, crocodiles!" "A whole bunch of them." "Big ones!" "l see them, Jonny." "Grab guns, everybody." "Here, Hadji." "Let them have it!" "Keep shooting!" "How about that?" "You said it, Bandit." "Wow!" "I never saw such big ones." "Never saw one attack a boat before, either." "Now, just a word of advice." "If you kids want to stay out of trouble, keep your eyes open." "And don't be acting like you're on a city street." "This jungle will bite you if you don't keep on your toes." "You get me?" "Yes, sir." "All right." "Now stand by and the Queen will have you there in just about an hour." "Well, so far so good." "Eh, doctor?" "Yes, Race, and surprisingly peaceful." "What was that?" "Turu!" "Turu!" "Turu!" "You hear that, Hadji?" "Yes, Jonny, yes." "Quick!" "Douse the lights!" "Get that fire out!" "Aku, whatever you said about that Turu thing you didn't say enough." "He must be bigger than an elephant." "into the tents, everybody!" "You!" "You blasted gooney bird!" "Turu!" "Turu!" "That's it, Turu, come on." "Good Turu." "Don't feel badly because you failed." "You will hunt the intruders tomorrow." "Come now, we will go to the top." "I must rest." "In, Turu, in." "Rest, Turu, while I speak to the workers." "Listen to me!" "Some of you have tried to escape." "There is no escape from Turu or my plateau." "As Turu captured you so will he capture the intruders below." "Meanwhile, you will continue your work." "Do you understand?" "Good." "Are there any questions?" "When do we go home?" "Until all this precious metal is mined you will stay." "But we have families." "Enough!" "Do not argue. lt will be as I say." "Stop!" "I know what you're thinking." "Attack me, and Turu will kill you all!" "Confounded gooney bird!" "Morning, Hadji." "Hey, where's Dad and Race?" "Race said they were going to do some exploring." "What do you think?" "There's no way up there..." "...except by helicopter." "Or a rocket belt." "You think that thing's up there?" "l think so." "Wait, look." "That's it!" "lt can't be!" "lt can't be, but it is." "It's a man." "A man and a pteranodon." "White men." "They want my precious metal." "Kill, Turu!" "Kill!" "Look out!" "He's coming after us!" "Quick, into the jungle." "Sounds like he landed." "Yes." "Better get down low, Race." "Come on." "Let's get back to camp." "You bet." "That was too close for me." "I know it's hard to believe, but it's a trained pteranodon." "Trained to kill." "But who trained it?" "I don't know." "But he's got to be stopped, and now." "I guess he gave up on us." "How are you gonna stop him?" "l don't know." "I've a hunch our source of trinauxite is up there." "So we'll use rocket belts." "And we'll take a bazooka." "You all stay together on the boat." "Don't get separated." "Come on, Race." "Let's get the equipment checked out." "We'd better go up the backside of the cliff." "Yes, keep out of sight." "Well, doctor, let's go." "Fly in close to the cliff, Race." "We'll be less conspicuous." "He spotted us." "Quick, Race, behind these boulders." "Wow!" "Watch it, Race." "He's coming back." "Doctor, look out!" "He's got me, Race!" "Use the bazooka!" "This has to work." "He dropped him!" "Use your rocket belt, doctor!" "Are you all right, Dad?" "l'm okay, thanks to Race." "But it was a horrible experience." "That thing gripped my arm like a giant vise." "Think we ought to try it again?" "We've got to." "But not until after dark." "l wonder if that thing can see in the dark." "l hope not." "Believe me, I've got a lot more respect for the prehistoric man." "No sign of any living thing yet." "Looks peaceful, doesn't it?" "With that creature around it can't be." "How about those buildings?" "Let's go have a look." "Careful, now." "Keep low." "This must be where he keeps that animal." "Wonder where he is now." "Asleep, I hope." "Listen." "Sounds like digging." "Seems to be coming from over there." "All right, all right, fellas." "Now, don't get excited." "They don't seem hostile." "Let's find out what this is all about, Race." "So that's it, huh?" "He made slaves of you and killed others." "And all for what he thought was silver." "Thought?" "That's right." "This isn't silver." "It's the purest trinauxite ore I've ever seen." "This find will save years in the space race." "What about this character in the wheelchair?" "Obviously, he belongs in an institution." "And the pteranodon?" "I'd love to capture him, but I'm afraid it's him or us." "Turu, Turu." "Him come!" "Let's go, Race." "Looks like this is it." "Never mind, Turu." "Never mind." "We'll get the white men tomorrow." "Right now, we'll both get some rest." "In, Turu, in." "What's wrong, Turu?" "What do you see?" "Some of my workers out of the mine, eh?" "No!" "It's the white men!" "Kill, Turu!" "Kill!" "Here he comes." "What a monster!" "Kill, Turu!" "Kill!" "Missed him." "Try it again." "You hit him!" "Yes, but he's only hurt." "Where is he?" "I lost him in the mist." "Over here, Race." "He's coming in low." "Wow!" "What's going on up there?" "Sounds like war." "Sounds like trouble." "He's coming this way." "Everybody hit the deck!" "You crazy baboon!" "Here he comes again." "Hey, what's that he's got with him?" "Why, it's-- lt's part of the boat." "The boys!" "Get him, Race!" "Watch it, doctor!" "You fools!" "You can't kill Turu." "Kill them, Turu!" "Kill!" "Shoot for his head." "We're not hurting him this way." "Duck, Race." "He's coming right at us!" "You" " You've hurt him, you fools!" "You've hurt him!" "Aim for his head again." "He's wobbly." "You got him, Race!" "He's falling toward the tar pit." "No!" "No, Turu!" "You can't die!" "No, Turu!" "That crazy old man." "He's heading for the pit!" "He'll fall in." "Wait!" "I will save you, Turu!" "Oh, no!" "Poor devil." "l wish we could've saved him." "There wasn't a chance." "Well, what now, doctor?" "Let me have your flashlight." "I want to signal the boat." "What is he saying, Jonny?" "He wants to know if we're all right." "I'll answer him, son." "What's the answer?" ""Everything A-OK, but...."" "But what?" "The skipper is saying..." "...something about the bird and boat." "What about them?" "Please, Race." "You know I never use that kind of language." "lt is so quiet." "l am afraid." "Somebody come." "Okay, fellas. lt's all over." "You are all free." "So head for home and your families." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Well, there's a real happy group." "Makes you feel kind of good." "Well, Race, let's get back to our group." "Blasted gooney bird!" "Ripped my boat!" "Very good, my boy." "Yeah." "Great, Jonny." "How do you feel, Nuago, after the ride that big bird gave you?" "Arm much sore." "Glad to have brother back." "Much thank to Dr. Quest and Race Bannon." "Thanks to you, Aku." "Yes, sir, many thanks." "For leading us to that trinauxite." "What happened?" "That crazy croc snapped the stick in half." "That's it, Bandit." "You tell him." "Hooray for Bandit!" "He chased him away." "Why, he's a real genuine crocodile hound." "Look, Bandit." "I'm a big bad crocodile." "Come on, Bandit." "Hadji was only playing." "Yes, I'm sorry, honest." "Poor little Bandito." "He is very brave." "He is not afraid of crocodiles."
