Explanations

Here's how explanations go in *Return to the Mysterious Beyond*.

[Then it cuts to the next scene showing a picture of Jerron Geo being shown to Brian]

Rockson Geo: We've called everyone. We did everything that we could, no one would help us. The Republic said that this was a "no fly" zone. And the US Embassy, that's *our* US Embassy told us that we should accept the inevitable. Can you believe that shit, man?!

[As Rockson talks, Brian passes the photo to Ben]

Ben Joseph: (looking up from the photo) Wait a minute, you let your twelve year-old son go parasailing all on his own?

Rockson Geo: No! No!

Crystalynn Geo: He *wasn't* alone, he was with a friend.

Ben Joseph: Who's the friend?

Rockson Geo: Cosmo William.

Crystalynn Geo: The truth is.... Rockson and I divorced about a year ago.

Smolder: Wait, you two are a divorced couple?!

Crystalynn Geo: Yes, we are.

Yona: Yona finds this shocking.

Gallus: This is *more* than shocking, this is an outrage!

Brian Griffin: Alright, alright, why me?

Rockson Geo: (indicating Curbet) He said we needed someone who been here before.

Curbet Rain: Yes. But, I did not tell you to *kidnap* somebody.

Brian Griffin: I have never *been* here before.

Rockson Geo: What? Yes, you *were*! You wrote that book!

Ben Joseph: Mr. Geo, that wasn't the Mysterious Beyond. *That* was the Lost Island. That led to the Canterlot incident.

Crystalynn Geo: (indicating the others) But what about you guys? You've been here before.

Ocellus: If you are referring to The Battle of The Great Valley, then yes. Except, you 2 got your facts on it *completely* wrong. The main battle took place in The Great Valley itself. And before you start asking, *yes*, the Beyond *was* a part of it. However, I will point out, it was only the area close to the pass into The Great Valley. And for better clarification, only Gallus, Silver, and Smolder were in the area of Beyond, while Sandbar, Yona, Terramar, Gabby, and I were in the Valley close to the pass. In other words, we have never been in *this* area of the Beyond in our whole times we've been here. And neither were Littlefoot and his friends.

Cubert Rain: You mean there's more than one place that has living Dinosaurs roaming around?

Rockson Geo: Okay, you stay out of this conversation!

Brian Griffin: Alright, alright, so how long have they been missing?

Rockson Geo: 12 weeks.

Crystalynn Geo: Almost 12 weeks, yeah.

Terramar: 12 weeks? Hey man, I hate to break it to ya, but we ain't gonna last here for another 12 goddamn, mother fucking hours!

Silverstream: Calm down, Terramar.

Terramar: Don't tell me to calm down! That's it man! It's game over man! **GAME OVER!!!** What the fuck are we gonna do now?! **WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!**

Smolder (Sarcastically): Oh, I know! How about we build a camp fire and sing some songs?

Brian Griffin: GUYS!

[They all turn to Brian]

Brian Griffin: Ben, guys, come with me. We're going back to the plane, salvage what we can, and head for the coast.

Rockson Geo: Mr. Griffin, we are *not* leaving without our son.

Brain Griffin: Fine. But that's *your* problem. So you can go and look for him. Or you can stick with us as long as you don't hold us back, but either way, you probably won't get out of here, *alive*.

Silverstream: But if those two red-horned T-Rex things, whatever they are, start chasing you guys, don't come crying to us.

[Brian's group then leaves to find the plane body as the Geo's turn to look at Cubert]

Rockson Geo: So, what do we do?

Cubert Rain: We search for your colt. In the direction *they're* going.

Rockson Geo: Alright, good, good. Excellent.

[They follow Brian's group back to the plane wreak site, where it cuts back as Curbet picks up Yoret's damaged rifle and tosses it aside while Ben is taking photographs as Rockson goes somewhere to get changed, and only finds Crystalynn at the other side. trying to clean some of the blood from Yoret off herself]

Rockson Geo: Oh! Sorry. (turns around) Sorry.

Crystalynn Geo: Oh, it's nothing you haven't seen before, Rockson. How much weight did you say you lost?

Rockson Geo: About 25 pounds. I've been swimming.

Crystalynn Geo: Swimming? You hate to swim. You don't even know *how* to swim.

Rockson Geo: I know, I *learned*.

[Then it cuts to a footprint left by one of the dinosaurs as Ben takes a photograph of it with the Padawan Six, Terramar, and Gabby looking down at it as Brian comes up to the group]

Brian Griffin: How would you classify it?

Ben Joseph: Obviously a superpredator. *Ilokelesia.*

Sandbar: Not with those horns on its head.

Brian Griffin: Yeah, think bigger.

Ben Joseph: *Majungasaurus?*

Ocellus: (walks over, holding a tooth) Nope, from examining this tooth, I've determined that it was *Carnotaurus.* (hands the tooth to Brian, who then hands it to Ben) Or, as they're commonly addressed: "Carnotaur".

Gallus: Carnotaur?

Gabby: I don't remember that being on the Mysterious Beyond's top dangerous sharpteeth list.

Ocellus: It's because it *wasn't*, it makes me wonder why no one has ever mentioned this part of this horrible place.

Sandbar: Well, listed or not, the fact we're dealing with 2 of them; makes this much more harder to survive the Beyond now.

Yona: And Yak thought Red Claw, Screech, and Thud bad.

Brian Griffin: Well, "there's always a a bigger fish", as they say. (before he looks past Gallus to see Rockson approaching. He's struggling with the straps on his backpack. turning in circles.)

Gallus: (looks at Brian, who nods at him)

[They, Ben and Sandbar walk over to Rockson]

Brian Griffin: So, Mr. Geo, tell me when you climbed K2 did you base camp at 25,000 or 30,000 feet?

Rockson Geo: 30,000. We.... we're pretty close to the top.

Ben Joseph: You were about 1,000 feet above it, actually.

Rockson Geo: (getting nervous) No, that's a common mistake.

Brian Griffin: Mr. Geo, there is *no* such thing as "Geo Enterprises", is there?

Rockson Geo: (now realizing his jig is up, is forced to confess) Actually, it's "Geo Hardware+" The "plus" stands for kitchen fixtures.

Gallus: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a second. Are you telling us, *you're* a cheap dime hardware storeman?!

Rockson Geo: Yes, yes, I am.

Gallus: Okay, I'm at the end of my rope now! [he pulls one of his pistols from his shoulder holster]

Rockson Geo: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you gonna kill me?!

Gallus: What? No. I'm just gonna shoot at the ground close at your feet, making you dance.

Rockson Geo: But that means you're *still* gonna kill me!

Gallus: No, it doesn't.

Rockson Geo: Now, hold on, I...

[But before he can finish his sentence, Gallus begins racking the slide before pointing it at Rockson, as he flinches and again when Sandbar pulls out his pistol too]

Sandbar: It's just a way of teaching you a lesson, Mr. Geo.

Brian Griffin: Now hold on, wait a minute!

Gallus: Wait? Dude, this dumbass not only set us up, he goddamn *lied* about being a rich stallion!

Brain Griffin: Yeah, he *did*. But shooting him isn't gonna make this better for us!

Sandbar: No, but it make us feel better. And it will teach this lying bastard a lesson!

Ben Joseph: Yeah, well maybe if we get to the coast maybe you guys can beat him up later? That seems like a more logical option.

Brian Griffin: Besides, you think it's fair for their son to have his dad get some sort of bullet scar by someone he hired to find him?

Gallus: (groans in frustration, as he puts the safety on his pistol before reholstering it)

Sandbar: (reholsters his own) Yeah, yeah. Fair point. (before turning to Rockson) But don't think this will let you off the hook. Cause in the end, this is all on *your* ass.

Brian Griffin: Speaking of kicking someone's ass, I guess that check you wrote us wasn't any good then.

Rockson Geo: Alright, now, now, listen to me, Brian. I will pay you the money I owe you. I will pay you.

Brian Griffin: [laughs sarcastically and shakes his head] Oh, this is good. Here we are in the worst Goddamn place in the whole world, and we're not even being Goddamn paid.

[The group begin to walk off]

Rockson Geo: Alright now wait, fellas. Hold on! I'll make this up to you. If you ever do a bathroom or a kitchen....

Smolder: (growling in anger, before turning around fast to face Rockson) **SHUT UP!!** (Rockson jumps upon Smolder facing him) **JUST, SHUT UP, YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!! YOU'VE SAID ENOUGH, YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH, SO, I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT YOU TO ANYONE OF US!!! YOU HEAR ME?!**

Rockson Geo: (now scared out of his wits, meekly nods)

Smolder: (turns away from Rockson, muttering stuff under her breath, clenching her fists)

[it then crossfades to the group walking through the Jungle, as Rockson goes over to Curbet]

Rockson Geo: You aren't really a mercenary, are you?

Curbet Rain: Never really said I was.

Rockson Geo: This is true. (trying to adjust the straps on his pack) Then what are you supposed to be then?

Curbet Rain: Well, I'm more of a booking agent. One of the guys got sick and couldn't come. (notices Rockson still trying to fix the straps on his pack) Here, let me. (goes over to Rockson and starts readjusting the straps) So, you're a hardware storeman, eh?

Rockson Geo: Yeah, pretty much.

Curbet Geo: Guess you really can't tell with people these days, can you?

Rockson Geo: Ain't that the truth?

[they resume walking onward, as now the group is walking through a more clearer part of the jungle]

Crystalynn Geo: Jerron!

Brian Griffin: [on the edge] Be quiet!

Rockson Geo: Will you cut that out?! Mr. Griffin told us this is *extremely* dangerous territory.

Crystalynn Geo: Well we should split up or something. We can cover twice the area.

Rockson Geo: No! No! Mr. Griffin also said that was a bad idea too!

Crystalynn Geo: Mr. Griffin said this, Mr. Griffin said that...

Rockson Geo: Well what's the use of hiring an expert if you're not going to listen to their advice?

Crystalynn Geo: Maybe so, but Mr. Griffin and the Jedi are *not* looking for Jerron, they're looking for the coast!

Rockson Geo: Fine! Fine! Go ahead and scream like a maniac all you want, and if those Carnotops or whatever they are come and attack you, *don't* come crying to me!

Crystalynn Geo: Don't worry about that!

Rockson Geo: What?

Crystalynn Geo: Nothing.

Rockson Geo: What did you say?

Crystalynn Geo: Nevermind, okay?!

Rockson Geo: What did you say!?

Crystalynn Geo: God, Rock, just let it go!

Rockson Geo: Fine.

Curbet Rain: (to Ben) If we end up splitting up, I'm going with you guys,

Ben Joseph: Sounds cool to me.
