Missing Link Edit

A carnivore. Huh.

A little to the right, please.

A monster!

A noble battle.

A place I think you know.

A rope would be better.

A sham of civilized society!

A singular man. Primatologist, poet laureate,

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! No! Ooh! Aah!

Aah! Ow!

Aah! Quit yankin' on my shooter!

Aah! Uh!

Actually, Aldous believed

Actually...

Adelina, I think...

Adelina, that's simply not true.

Adelina, throw something down.

Adelina, you have me all wrong.

Adelina? What's wrong?

Ah, don't even mention it.

Ah, Lord Piggot Dunceby.

Ah, okay.

Ah, Stenk. Yes, I know of your work.

Ah, yes. The perfect spot. Now, we have work to do.

Ah!

Ah...

Aimed it right between his eyes,

Ain't no fool's errand after all.

Aldous believed if we find Shangri La,

Aldous learned of a mountain guide named Gamu

All aboard!

All aboard!

All right, let me just Can I just ask a... Hmm?

All the way to the prize.

All these years, my husband searched for this.

All things considered, I think he took that quite well.

All this time, I'm thinking you care more about these legends you chase

Almost there.

Almost, Susan, almost.

Also, please do not, whatever you do,

Am I rambling? I'm a little nervous, if I'm being honest.

An earthly Eden where man never grows old.

An undiscovered civilization of yetis,

And a cup of Earl Grey tea with a spot of milk.

And Aldous was there for me in ways you never were.

And by my reckoning, there's one that has eluded you

And dropped him where he stood quicker than you could say, "God save the Queen."

And easily navigate the European continent by rail.

And find this lost civilization of yetis, this Shangri La.

And have your pelt as his hearthrug.

And he cheats. He's a cheater.

And he's got a defenseless girl!

And I don't know that song that well.

And I know it is not a place for man.

And I will do just as you say.

And I will follow in his footsteps

And I'll have you know that that thing has a name.

And I'm a man of my word.

And if I might ask, how the devil can you speak English so well?

And if that happens, well, then...

And in return, you will get me to mine.

And in return, you'll admit you're wrong,

And it smells funny, too.

And know my name.

And living in the New World.

And me also.

And Miserable Disappointment.

And most tantalizing enterprise, gentlemen.

And my keen eye for local custom.

And no one will ever remember your name.

And now...

And our ultimate destination: Shangri La.

And perhaps use your foot as one of those, you know, buckets you put umbrellas in.

And please don't let it steep too long. Thanks so much.

And proof proof, I tell you

And sing "The Star Spangled Banner" while you're at it?

And so it shall remain.

And so it shall remain.

And sometime fullback for the Blackheath Football Club.

And that smile meant the world to me.

And that's just how I like it.

And the best part of all, he drew a map.

And the discovery of this creature

And then we have the perfect cover story.

And then what happened?

And then...

And there'll be no room in it for the likes of me.

And they saw me, and they were just standing there.

And throw it out into the bushes.

And to do this, you need the map

And what's more, he's my friend,

And when I looked at them,

And yet here you are in front of my face.

And yet, you are surprised that you always end up alone.

And you did not even go to his funeral.

And you didn't. And I did.

And you know I'm nothing if not a man of my

And you think you can charm me and you can flatter me

And you, Adelina? What did you see?

And you'll grant me membership here,

And your accent's weird!

And your big, hairy f...

And your lost world.

And, uh, well, we can enjoy the view while we're about.

And... And what was the prospector's name?

Anyway, I figured maybe there was a place for me here, among you.

Are we dead?

Are you positive about this, Mr. Stenk?

Are you... Are you sure?

As a matter of fact, I have.

As long as I can remember, I...

As soon as that ship reaches dry land,

As the world's greatest adventurer.

At least you have a name.

Aw, he's all tuckered out.

Aw, shoot. The boss ain't gonna like this.

Be... Because...

Because they said I couldn't.

Because...

Big footed critters as far as the eye can see.

Bravo.

Break out the bagpipes.

Buried by an avalanche on the Hindu Kush.

But alive and well

But an entire evolutionary branch of missing links.

But at the very least, we should cover up your, uh...

But do you mind if I just kind of...

But for myself.

But how are you going to do that, my Lord?

But I could imagine that's how it would go down with me, too.

But I deserve greater.

But I don't see a path to Shangri La on this map.

But I thought we did Shangri La already.

But I'm not gonna ask you again.

But I'm not here to bemoan past misfortune.

But if you'd explain, what exactly do you ask of me?

But it is a prize,

But Mr. Link? I think perhaps his air is all stuffed up.

But now... now I rather think the world shapes us.

But of men who had never evolved.

But someday.

But that creature, on the other hand,

But the link in between.

But you're my kind, you're my fa... my family.

But, Lionel...

But, my Lord,

But, oh, they're so good.

But, you know, doesn't want to shoot me.

But...

By insincere flimflammery.

Can you just take me there?

Can't you do it?

Can't you see poor Mr. Link is nervous?

Careful, Stenk. You know what they say pride comes before.

Change of plan. We must give this villain the slip.

Civilization endures!

Close enough.

Come along, Mr. Link.

Come along, Mr. Link.

Come along, Mr. Link.

Come in.

Come this way.

Cookie?

Could you hold on a second?

Darwin's finches! She's real!

Dead or alive, exclamation mark.

Did I leave something out?

Did you come to tell us about Nessie?

Did you steal from him as well?

Dios mío.

Do buck up, Mr. Lint. No harm done.

Do I have time to get my bathing suit? No?

Do stay, Mr. Lint.

Do you always speak in questions?

Do you have a size bigger?

Do you hear me? The end of the world!

Do you shed?

Do you think this will work, sir?

Do you think you have things in hand, Mr. Link?

Do you understand English?

Do you understand?

Don't believe a word of it. He'd sooner see you stuffed

Don't dally, my friend. Adventure awaits.

Don't fret, Mr. Link. You just leave Adelina to me.

Dung. We burn it for fuel.

Early man.

Eh. I don't mind if I do.

Eight feet tall, chest circumference 70 inches,

Electricity, suffrage, evolution.

Ever.

Every rare creature from here to Borneo.

Evidence of man's primitive ancestry, the missing link!

Ew.

Except that one.

Excuse me. I think I've got a little something stuck in my...

Eyes only for your legend, for Lionel's prize.

Fat fingers, you know?

Fine, fine. By all means, crack open the win...

Follow me. We must find an alternative route.

For 30 years or more.

For a minute there, I thought, just for a second, that maybe you were going

For what you said back there.

Force them to stay!

From ever reaching civilized society.

From here, my dear, we shall rely

From New York, we can find passage to London

Frost's frivolous escapades usually amount to naught.

Fuera! Fuera de mi casa!

Ga... mu?

Gamu, if I may,

Gamu...

Gentlemen...

Get off of me!

Get out of my house!

Get out!

Get word to Stenk, and and tell him to stay on their trail.

Give me back my husband's map.

Give me...

Go now, or I'll throw you overboard.

Go through... Go through them.

Go! Get out!

Go.

Gonna hire a thug to kill him.

Good morning.

Good night, uh...

Good question. How can I speak?

Good.

Goodbye, gentlemen.

Gotta get myself a grip here.

Growl a little bit in excitement?

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

Ha ha! A foot. It's a... Hmm. Right.

Hah!

Halfway around the world to find your kind.

Hand in hand with apes and women.

Has hairy knuckles and poor hygiene.

He and I shared the same, um, shall we say, pursuits.

He believed that the valley was not the home of men who had never aged,

He can't possibly win this wager.

He never completed his quest. Died in the trying.

He really believes in you.

He says he'll deliver them to you, dot dot dot,

He thinks so highly of you, Lionel.

He was your friend.

He's a snowman.

He's come a long way.

He's still on our tail. Have no doubt.

Heart. Your heart.

Heh. We are walking untrodden paths through the Himalayas, Mr. Link.

Hello?

Help me!

Help me!

Help!

Here he goes again.

Here. Now throw this rope over the wall.

Hey, Sir Lionel. Sorry.

Hey, you! Don't you touch him!

Hi.

Hire thugs. Bribe the port authorities.

His dream is crushed, and you...

His hope rests in your hand, Lionel.

His wicked heathen eyes locked on mine.

Hmm, she says you must join her for supper.

Hmm, yes.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. Poor Adelina.

Hmm. That won't do.

Hmm. That's a good point.

Hmm. We'll need lodging for the night.

Hmm. Well... yes.

Hmm. Yes, I thought perhaps we might clear the air.

Hoo hoo!

How about the chicken?

How can you speak English so well?

How can you speak?

How could you tell?

How do you know I'm not speaking yeti?

How do you know me?

How do you like that, hmm?

How many people can claim that?

How phlegmatic. What does it mean?

How's my breath?

Huge, hairy, and walking upright.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh.

Huh.

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

I actually used to think that.

I am better than you think I am.

I am here to unveil my latest

I am!

I asked you here to help me.

I asked you nicely,

I beg your pardon?

I believe you are, too."

I bring thrilling news.

I can't allow you to go any further.

I can't believe it! Oh, my goodness! This sounds...

I can't get a hold!

I can't possibly.

I can't take any more of this. I won't!

I cannot believe it.

I could ask around if you want.

I could give it a try. Oh, but I don't have a trumpet.

I didn't mean all of it.

I do not even want to know how you got this.

I do say. I'd swear on it.

I don't believe it.

I don't entertain that much.

I don't know.

I don't know. Do I?

I don't know. Three more of them, and we could build a ramp.

I don't really have a say in the matter, do I?

I don't think "Mr. Link" really counts.

I don't think I have my knot... Aah!

I feel woozy. Do I look pale? I feel pale.

I get to bag two legends in one day.

I give you my word I'll bring back proof of this creature,

I got you now.

I have a lot of autumn in me, a lot of autumn colors.

I have a question for you.

I have changed my mind.

I have heard enough.

I have none of my kind to live with,

I haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about.

I just said that right then. Aren't you listening?

I knew it!

I knew it. I knew it.

I know this is you in there.

I learned, I stole books, newspapers here and there.

I mean, I bathed recently.

I mean, I beat him every time. He's a lousy player.

I mean, I do eat bacon and squirrel and chicken.

I mean, I have... I'll have no chance of winning my wager.

I mean, I turned them inside out and all, but...

I mean, if we're to travel halfway across the globe, you'll need a name.

I mean, she has a point.

I mean, that's against the law.

I mean, what do you say to that?

I mean, you can speak.

I must warn you, she does not like visitors,

I must... I must provide proof, yes.

I offer you a glimpse of a legendary creature lost in time

I paid attention to a lot of things.

I quit!

I really shouldn't be having one of these,

I said it's rude!

I saw proof.

I say we are descended from great men,

I say, old chap, could you loosen your grip?

I shall get you there, to the place you belong.

I should've joined the army.

I should've joined the army.

I think he said you're wrong.

I think I put a run in it.

I think it's more... I think it's more of a rust, isn't it?

I think perhaps the great Sir Lionel Frost...

I think that one's my favorite, right there.

I think these yetis are my cousins.

I think we all have.

I thought you were made of sterner stuff.

I want to go to that cold place and find them.

I wanted to say thank you

I was mistaken.

I will give my granddaughter directions.

I will take you to her.

I will.

I wish he could have been here to see it.

I wish...

I wished to become a great adventurer,

I won't stand for it.

I would never wish to obtain the map

I wrote the letter.

I, uh... I have much to prepare.

I...

I...

I... I believe the two go hand in hand,

I... I have evolved.

I... I see how much your husband's legacy means to you.

I... I think I still carry the papers of my valet, Mr. Lemuel Lint.

I'll be the laughingstock of the club, again.

I'll keep watch.

I'll make absolutely sure you don't get eaten again. I promise.

I'll make absolutely sure you don't get eaten again. I promise.

I'll run this game to ground if it's the last thing I do.

I'm a quiet guy at heart,

I'm gonna say it was the snow that hit him.

I'm gonna stare out the window for a long time.

I'm good.

I'm here!

I'm lonely.

I'm not sure in this case, sir.

I'm not taking any chances!

I'm on to you, mister. I am on to you.

I'm sorry, Sir Lionel.

I'm sorry, what is this?

I've been there before, yeah. I mean, I haven't,

I've got ya!

I've walked these woods year after year, but I'm the last.

If he catches us, he will shoot you dead, skin you,

If I might ask, how did you find me?

If I'm ever to be taken seriously by the adventuring community,

If you are still intent on doing him harm,

If you think you can do better, Frost, you're out of your mind.

Imagine the headlines then.

In a different direction.

In my throat. Like a nut or a...

In that case, why not?

Incontrovertible evidence of your existence

Is "trust."

Is a myth.

Is clawed away by these... these new thinkers.

Is it a unicorn?

Is it a... Is it a place?

Is it hot in here? I think I need some air.

Is it Tuesday?

Is one of a kind. Don't you see?

Is that really what you think of me?

Is that right?

Is the camera to hand? It is essential.

Is there anything wrong with staying exactly where we are?

Is this... everything that you are here to say to me?

It ain't about the paycheck no more.

It doesn't have to be this way, Stenk.

It has been called many names:

It hurt inside, like gas, but sadder?

It is hidden, hidden by choice.

It is made from yak butter.

It is not a place for you.

It is preservation.

It is time for this unhappy bird...

It is time to settle our debt, Susan.

It just seems a little...

It saddens me to see you shut away in this old house,

It seems Piggot Dunceby is set on scuppering my success at any cost.

It seems to me, you did not have to travel

It was over between us, Lionel.

It's a cold night, and we're a long way from shore.

It's a mockery of man!

It's a... It's a little deceptive. It can be frustrating.

It's barbaric!

It's for me.

It's from Stenk.

It's funny...

It's indecent.

It's just a tidy step to the foothills of the Himalayas

It's no wonder you can't keep anyone around.

It's still there.

It's Susan.

It's time I went on my own adventure.

Just directions to Gamu? What's that?

Just one second, please.

Just running along.

Kill you?

Legend says it is a place of uncommon beauty.

Let me say this very clearly.

Let those fellows at the club scoff

Let's do it again.

Let's move along, shall we?

Let's see. I think there might be a picture.

Like a... Like an unhappy bird locked in a cage.

Lionel Frost!

Lionel Frost.

Lionel, look out! Get your hands off of him!

Lionel!

Lionel!

Living and flourishing in isolation.

Look at him.

Look at him.

Look at you.

Look, I'm not sure exactly where this is taking us.

Look, just forget about the stocking.

Look!

Look!

Looking for this, uh, legendary creature.

Lord Piggot Dunceby, a telegram!

Lord Piggot Dunceby!

Man talks of the magic of the world,

Man talks of the magic of the world,

Man, killer of life, of hope, of dreams.

Many miles away, on the other side of the world,

Maybe the guy in the village with the tongue. Would he be good?

Me?

Mine is eaten away.

Mm hmm.

Mm mm.

Mm, that's a tantalizing proposition, I'll admit.

Mm.

Mmm!

Mmm.

Mmm. It's delicious.

Mmm. You're beautiful.

Moo.

MR. I can't reach!

Mr. Link.

Must surely secure my place here.

My air?

My hands are bleeding!

My nipple?

My objective here was to find proof of you.

My penmanship isn't great, but, uh...

My word is everything. What is yours worth?

My, uh, arms have gone dead.

Myth made real.

Nail clippings, feces.

Name one time that I've ever treated him poorly.

Neither ape nor man,

Never, ever mention the chicken.

Nice place.

No chicken, got it. Zip.

No hard feelings, Frost.

No one will ever know what you found here.

No sound but the wind whistling through his grass skirt.

No time to dawdle.

No, I must make a stand for all that is civilized.

No, it's a figure of speech.

No, later will be fine.

No, Mr. Lint. What else do we say?

No, no, no. I seek to join you.

No, no, no. My right.

No, not chicken. I eat fish. I said fish.

No, sir, I shan't think of it. I won't.

No!

No! You must threaten her defenseless grandson instead.

No.

No. I think not.

No. I will pay you for it.

No. It can't be true.

No. It can't be.

No... no family.

No... no family.

None. Because they're all dead!

Nonsense. Now, give it all you've got.

Not by a long shot.

Not for you, not for Aldous, not even for you, Susan.

Not great apes.

Not only that, he taught me how to play chess.

Not to worry, Mr. Link. We're not stopping after all.

Not what, but who.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Now it's just a matter of shallow, self centered pride.

Now we must rest.

Now what are we gonna do?

Now, get up. We're leaving.

Now, hold me tightly.

Now, not the greatest, surely.

Now... Now here comes the thaw.

Nyah.

Of a mysterious creature.

Of course they will.

Of course you want to be one of us.

Of course! I do know someone!

Of course. I give you my word.

Of our sacred valley.

Often that is the same thing.

Oh God. Okay...

Oh, absolutely. Like a brother to me.

Oh, Adelina.

Oh, and and, Mr. Link, keep your trousers on, please.

Oh, believe me, he's got a lot more to worry about than boarding this boat.

Oh, bother.

Oh, boy!

Oh, boy. A guy could dream.

Oh, boy. That is gonna let in an awful draft.

Oh, bugger.

Oh, but I'm afraid it can. And it is.

Oh, but of course.

Oh, come now. I imagine everyone in there

Oh, come, now, Adelina. I think you know the answer to that.

Oh, discov... No, no, no.

Oh, do hurry up.

Oh, fiddlesticks.

Oh, for pity's sake. Of course you are. Look at your arms.

Oh, God, I'm so embarrassed. Sorry if it smells a little.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, I don't care. The point is, I'm coming with you.

Oh, I like the sound of that guy.

Oh, I see perfectly well.

Oh, I wouldn't count on it.

Oh, it's the monster hunter.

Oh, it's you. You know I have strict orders not to

Oh, Lionel, look.

Oh, Mr. Stenk, you're doing this all wrong.

Oh, my dear. I think you've made a mistake.

Oh, my goodness! That is great!

Oh, my goodness! Yes, then. Well, yes.

Oh, my word. Look at... What is that, the sky?

Oh, no, no!

Oh, no, thanks. I don't eat meat.

Oh, no, you don't.

Oh, no, you don't.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, now, steady on...

Oh, please, Mr. Link. This is America.

Oh, remarkable.

Oh, she's a spirited one, isn't she? Ha ha!

Oh, so, you want the poop now?

Oh, sorry.

Oh, stop fidgeting, Mr. Link. You mustn't draw attention to yourself.

Oh, that feels lovely.

Oh, that's better.

Oh, this is awful.

Oh, well, I've read all about you.

Oh, wow! You really mean that? You're gonna take me?

Oh, yeah. A whole lost world is what he said.

Oh, yes. I'll prove the existence of not just one,

Oh, yes. That'll do it.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh! Brother.

Oh! Look at the size of those metatarsals.

Oh! Uh!

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. I'm sorry, what?

Oh. It's hard to know whose fault that was.

Oh. Oh, so, the two of you are acquainted.

Oh. Sir Lionel. I, uh...

Oh. Wait. You mean me, don't you?

Oh. Yeah.

Oh...

Oh...

Okay, I'm not very good at climbing.

Okay, never mind.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. So, the two of you are acquainted.

Okay. What is it?

Old Kemp Creek. I knew it. Ha ha!

On my extensive anthropological knowledge

On through India, and from there,

On your head. It's a disguise.

One day, they came close to my cave,

One day, they came close to my cave,

One of dozens of documented eyewitness reports

One of you should write that down.

One of your own, I mean.

Ooh!

Ooh!

Ooh! Excuse me.

Ooh.

Or a field mouse or something like that. I don't know.

Or disturb your tranquility.

Or have your head mounted on a wall,

Order will prevail!

Out of the ice that killed him on the mountain.

Over here!

Over here!

Over this way.

Ow!

Partner.

People say red. I find I'm more of an auburn.

Perfect.

Perhaps it is the men who seek it who are lost.

Perhaps it is time you made a step

Perhaps the name of someone in your life

Perhaps we can try some of your tea.

Piggot Dunceby's gone.

Please wait!

Please, Adelina. What possible need could you have for this?

Please?

Pleased to meet you!

Pondering your ill transgressions.

Proof? What kind of proof?

Prove it.

Put this on.

Put this on.

Put your hands where I can see 'em.

Qué es lo que quiere éste ahora?

Quick, quick, quick! Someone should give her the kiss of life!

Quickly! We must climb aboard!

Quite a catch.

Quite a tall tale, but I think he was on to something.

Quite right. I never shall.

Really, nobody.

Remarkable.

Remember every moment of it, Susan.

Respected throughout the Empire.

Right. And... what do I call you?

Run.

Same old Lionel.

Seems you've had your day at last, Frost.

Señora doesn't normally see guests.

Shambhala, Agartha,

Shangri La? No!

Shangri La? That is not our name.

She's gonna kill us!

She's my grandmother.

Shh!

Shh! Do you hear that?

Should you perhaps wait here?

Sir Lionel Frost, actually.

Sir Lionel Frost, I presume.

Sir Lionel Frost!

Sir Lionel Frost.

Sir Lionel, have you ever wanted something so bad

Sir Lionel, I'm a little afraid that this isn't gonna work.

Skookum, Rougarou,

So let's keep it that way.

So, could we go through it again?

So, how did Mr. Fortnight die, exactly?

So, I need someone who knows the wild places of the world,

So, let me see if I understand.

So, this is it, Shangri La.

So, this prospector was a girl?

So, what happens now?

So, why? Why do you wish to be one of them?

Some call it... Shangri La.
