The roar man, the roar!

Wow! I've never heard that one before!

Yeah go wild man, come on!

Bring up the wild!

Aarrhh! Excuse me, you're biting my butt!

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Alex, what did you do?

He bit me on the butt!

No. I didn't. Did I?

You kind of did.

You just bit me on the butt! What the hack is wrong with you? Why did you bite me?

Man, that's because you are his dinner.

What? Excuse me?

That's dumb. Dumb, dumb, Maurice. What is the simple bite on the buttocks among friends?

The party is over, Julian. Your brilliant plan has failed.

What are you talking about?

Your friend here is what we call a deluxe model hunting and eating machine. And he eats stake. Which is you.

Get out of here.

Okey dokey, Maurice. I admit it, the plan failed. All is lost! We're all doomed. The Foosas will come back and gobble us with their mouths! Because we are all stakes.

I'm stake! Me, me, me, me!

Mr. Alex cannot stay here. He belongs with his own kind. On the Foosa side of the island.

By the power invested in me, by the law of the jungle, bla, bla, bla, bla. Be gone!

What? Come on.

Do I look like a stake to you?

Yeah.

See, I told you I don't look like...

Wait, wait, what did you say?

Oh, yeah!

He's going savage. Run for your lives!

- Rameses?

Oh! Let me guess. You want me to... let your people go.

- I hoped I would find you here.

Get out!

- Rameses, we must bring this to an end. Rameses, please, talk to me. We could always talk here. This place. So many memories. I remember the time you... switched the heads of the gods of the temple of Ra.

If I recall correctly, you were there switching heads right along with me.

- No, it was you. I didn't do that.

Yes, you did. You put the hippo on the crocodile, and the crocodile...

- On the falcon. Yes! The priest thought it was an omen and fasted for two months.

Father was furious. You were always getting me into trouble! But then... you were always there to... get me out of trouble again.

- Hmph.

Why can't things be the way they were before?

Father... It's so dark. I'm frightened. Why is he here? Isn't that the man who did all this?

Yes. But one must wonder... why?

- Because no kingdom should be made on the backs of slaves. Rameses, your stubbornness is bringing this misery upon Egypt. It would cease if only you would let the Hebrews go.

I will not be dictated to. I will not be threatened. I am the morning and the evening star. I am Pharaoh.

- Something else is coming. Something much worse than anything before. Please, let go of your contempt for life before it destroys everything you hold dear. Think of your son!

I do. You Hebrews have been nothing but trouble. My father had the right idea about how to deal with your people.

- Rameses...

And it's time I finished the job!

- Rameses!

There shall be a great cry in Egypt such as never has been or ever will be again!

- Rameses, you bring this upon yourself.

When You Believe

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

Year: 2007

Rated: PG

Every big secrets starts small ... a boy stumbled on a mysterious egg along the shores of Loch Ness that hatches a creature of Scottish legend.

+++++++++++++++++++++

You got an animal in there? Look, you better let me in or your mother will hear about this.

No.

Let me in. Listen, you two, all right? I have to do my job.

Your mother told me this bathroom has been out of order-What- What is that?

He came from an egg at the tide pool. His name's Crusoe.

What in the name of-? Almost took my hand off.

He thinks I'm his father.

I wonder... It just can't be.

Can't be what?

Well, it looks like a... Like a bloody water horse. They're make-believe. A legend from the Celtic past. They're said to be the rarest of all creatures. There can be only one water horse in the world at a time. When the one grows old, it lays a single egg, and then it dies.

Crusoe's a girl?

No. No, lad, he's girl and boy both. The beast is both mum and dad to the egg. The old water horse dies before the egg hatches...

...so the new water horse is born an orphan. Oh, that's sad.

It's an amazing thing though, isn't it?

Angus! Kirstie!

Don't tell her. She'd make us get rid of it. Will you help us, Mr. Lewis?

You're asking me to deceive your mother.

Angus? Kirstie? What are you doing in there?

I was helping Mr. Lewis fix the pipes.

Since when have pipes been an interest of yours?

Wait! It's a bad time to interrupt him. Plumbing is tricky. It's like surgery. One mistake could mean death.

Mr. Lewis found the problem. I can explain. He- Always been handy with the plumbing. He's a genius.

And you helped, did you, Angus?

Yes, I- I handed the tools.

And you, Kirstie?

No. I came to get Angus to show him the civil assistance manual.

It's getting a bit cramped in here, so off you go. Did a grand job, Angus. Bye.

It's the pipes. It's the air locks bubbling through, you see. Angus was a great help.

So you said.

Oh, dear. Excuse me. That's- The doctor warned me not to eat haggis for breakfast.
