- Ralph: Okay, listen up. Whoever holds the conch gets to speak. That's the rule.
- Larry: Is this like assembly, sir?
- Ralph: Yeah. Except anybody who wants to speak gets to
- Piggy: But not before they get the conch
- Ralph: Right. There doesn't seem to be anybody here except us
- Jack Merridew: And a pig
- Pablo: It was a wild boar!
- Rapper: No! It was a regular pig! Big, but regular!
- Piggy: If it was a regular pig then it must have got here from people
- Rapper: Yeah, if there's pigs, there's people!
- [Rapper snorts, and the other boys laugh]
- Ralph: Ok, cadets, like I said, this island's probably uninhabited
- Jack Merridew: But we don't know, we've gotta explore more
- Ralph: Right, there's a lot of things we gotta do. But the main thing is we're not by ourselves, we've got Captain Benson
- Piggy: Can I speak?
- [Takes the conch from Ralph]
- Piggy: The most important thing is who knows we're here? Nobody knows we're here. They know where we were going, but they don't know where we are because we never got where we were going
- Larry: Where were we going?
- Piggy: We were going home
- Ralph: I'm sure they're out looking for us. We should set up some kind of steady signal like a fire and keep it going all the time. And we're gonna have to have rules
- Jack Merridew: Can I have the conch?
- [Takes the conch from Ralph]
- Jack Merridew: Yes, Ralph's right, we've definitely gotta make a fire
- Piggy: We might have to live here for a long time! Maybe the rest of our lives! If we are stuck here until we get old, then we can't go on acting like kids! We've gotta be sensible and make things work!
- Ralph: [looking up at Roger pushing a boulder off the cliff] NOOOOO!
- [the rock smacks Piggy's forehead, killing him, with blood all over his face]
- Ralph: [to Jack] You're not gonna get away with this.
- Jack Merridew: Yeah? And what are you gonna do, huh? What are you gonna do about it? You're out of it pal, you're on your own.
- [all are marching and singing in cadence. One sings a sentence, the others repeat it]
- Luke: Mama, mama can't you see? / What the Army's done to me? / They put me in a barber's chair. / Spun me 'round, I had no hair./ I used to drive a Cadillac. / Now I'm marching in a pack. / I used to drive a Chevrolet. / Now I'm marching for my pay. / They took away my T.V. / Got me doing I.T.
- Piggy: We did everything just the way grownups would have. Why didn't it work? Things would be much better here if it wasn't for him. I wish he was dead.
- Ralph: No, you don't.
- Piggy: I do! We could just give up and join his tribe. Then we'd at least be with the others.
- Ralph: No, Piggy.
- Piggy: Ralph... I can't see.
- Ralph: I know.
- [last lines]
- [Ralph and the boys come out of the jungle where they encounter a Marine officer and several marine soldiers on the beach]
- Marine Officer: What are you guys doing?
- Jack Merridew: What won't matter?
- Piggy: Whether we get rescued
- Jack Merridew: You better start learning to live with yourself, because we ain't gonna get rescued
- Piggy: What are you talking about?
- Jack Merridew: Just being logical, a plane goes down in the middle of the ocean, there's no wreckage, who's gonna find us?
- Piggy: Why don't you just shut up!
- Jack Merridew: Are you telling me to shut up?
- Piggy: What we need around here is positive people, not people trying to scare people!
- Jack Merridew: What we don't need around here is you shitbrain!
- Sam, Twin #1: His name's not shitbrain, It's Piggy!
- Jack Merridew: Yeah Piggy!
- Ralph: Shut up! Everybody just shut up!
- [to Piggy]
- Ralph: It's just 'cause you're new
- Piggy: No, it's not. It's always this way
- [the other boys continue laughing]
- Ralph: [to Jack] Just cut it out, ok!
- Ralph: [Frustrated] If you guys hadn't let the goddamn fire go out, they woulda seen it
- Jack Merridew: Hey man, we were hunting
- Ralph: Great, killed a pig. Face it Jack, you fucked up! We could've been rescued!
- Jack Merridew: Back off man! I'm sick of your shit and so's my gang!
- Ralph: *Your* gang? What's that supposed to mean?
- Jack Merridew: What it means colonel, is that if you know what's good for you, you'll stop trying to run everything!
- [Jack pushes Ralph, who pushes back. Piggy then steps in to protect Ralph]
- Piggy: [to Jack] Stop it!
- [Jack pushes Piggy over. The hunters laugh]
- Jack Merridew: I'm sick of all this shit! I'm gonna make another camp for hunters! Guys who wanna have a little fun!
- Hunters: Yeah!
- Ralph: Come on, Jack, that's crazy! We've gotta work together. Come on, what do you say?
- Jack Merridew: I say fuck you! And that goes for you too, Miss Piggy.
- [to his gang]
- Jack Merridew: Come on, let's get out of this kindergarten
- [Jack, Roger, Andy, Will, Rapper and Luke pick up the pig they hunted, on a stick, and walk away. John jumps off a tree to join them. Larry and Steve join them too]
- Larry: I'm with you Jack
- Jack Merridew: Right on, Larry.
- [to Ralph's gang]
- Jack Merridew: When you other brats get older or get hungry enough, you can come join us too!
- Larry: Sir, are you the leader?
- Eric, Twin #2: Jack's the oldest
- Pablo: But Ralph's the colonel
- [group voices votes for Ralph]
- Jack Merridew: I guess you just won the election.
- Ralph: It doesn't matter who's in charge. We've just got to work together. First, we build a camp.
- Jack Merridew: What's this dumbshit out here about a monster? We're gonna have to send you back to kindergarten!
- Larry: I'm serious.
- Jack Merridew: Ok what kind of monster? Did it have fur and poison fangs, or long slimy tentacles?
- Larry: It growled and it came out of me and it's mouth, it was wet.
- Luke: Maybe it was a bear.
- Roger: Sounds more like a reptile.
- Jack Merridew: Sounds more like bullshit.
- Jack Merridew: Rodge, you okay, man? That was some jump.
- Roger: I got him. Right up his ass.
- Sam, Twin #1, Eric, Twin #2, Pablo, Andy: Up the ass!
- Will: Come on, cut it out!
- Ralph: Stop it!
- Will: You dorks, it hurt!
- Sam, Twin #1: I know it hurt.
- Ralph: We came here to try and talk some sense to you!
- Sheraton: You don't have the conch, doesn't matter what you say!
- Piggy: The conch is in our camp where it belongs!
- Jack Merridew: What's the matter, tits? Were you afraid to bring it with you? Anyway the conch doesn't count anymore, Miss Piggy-tits!
- [Shoves Piggy]
- Ralph: Stop that!
- Jack Merridew: [Shoves Ralph] Nobody's interested in you and your fucking conch!
- [Shoves Ralph again]
- Jack Merridew: Why don't you take your fat friend and shove off! You've had all the meat you can eat. Come on, hunters! Roger's the pig!
- Ralph: The reason I'm calling this assembly is, too many people are screwing around when they should be working! I mean there's a bunch of things, some kids don't even know when to use the bathroom!
- Tony: Yeah. There's this one kid the other day, he took a shit in his pants and then sat in it, I'm not naming names because it's possible Mikey couldn't help it!
- Ralph: [Crying throughout scene] What are we gonna do? Piggy, that was Simon
- Piggy: What good are you doing talking about it? It was dark, we were scared
- Ralph: I wasn't scared
- Piggy: You were scared. Anything could have happened. It wasn't our fault
- Ralph: It was. We were there, we didn't do anything about it
- Piggy: There was nothing we could do, there was too many of them
- Ralph: That's not the point
- Piggy: It was an accident, that's what it was, a terrible accident
- [the Twins arrive]
- Eric, Twin #2: Hi
- Piggy: Hi
- Sam, Twin #1: We came to see if you guys have any fire
- Eric, Twin #2: Our's is out
- Sam, Twin #1: Everything's out
- Eric, Twin #2: On account of the storm. We gotta get back
- Ralph: Hold on a minute, I wanna talk to you about last night
- Piggy: [Sympathetically] Ralph...
- Eric, Twin #2: We left early
- Eric, Twin #2, Sam, Twin #1: We were real tired
- [Steve and Rapper are at Ralph's camp]
- Piggy: So what do you want?
- Steve: Jack wants the survival knife
- Piggy: It's not his, it belongs to the camp!
- Rapper: Yeah? Well there's a new camp now, and he wants it!
- Steve: Yeah, and Tony wants his shoes and socks and all his junk
- Ralph: Take Tony's stuff but you can't have the survival knife!
- Piggy: He's a defector, just another damn defector
- Tex: It's because of the monster
- Ralph: [Angrily] I told you there's no monster! Tony knows there's no monster! Tony just wants to be a hunter is all and he's too chickenshit to come down and get his stuff himself!
- Sheraton: But what if there *is* some kind of big animal?
- Tex: Yeah
- [Steve and Rapper walk away. Sheraton, Patterson and Tex follow them]
- Piggy: [Sarcastically] Oh, great. Two more traitors!
- Tex: Sorry, Ralph
- Piggy: Good riddance!
- [Ralph walks past Pablo and sits down, crying between his knees]
- Piggy: Be careful. There's probably a lot of berries that seem to look ok, but are really poison
- Tony: I know what's poisonous or not. My brother did Outward Bound, learned how to survive; he taught me
- Piggy: Did he do Outward Bound in the tropics?
- Tony: Not exactly
- Piggy: Then where?
- Tony: Colorado
- Piggy: There are totally different poison plants in Colorado than this place, so we better take precautions, or it won't matter
- [In a heavenly aura with angelic music, Simon is looking at the Twins, Andy, and Larry]
- Sam, Twin #1: Are you telling the truth?
- Simon: Yeah
- Eric, Twin #2: We don't believe you
- Sam, Twin #1: Yeah, you're lying!
- The Pilot: [Walks up to them in his uniform, no longer delirious] Why aren't you getting ready?
- Andy: Sir, is it really true?
- The Pilot: You bet it is. Simon's right, we're gonna be rescued. Get your things together guys, we're going home
- [Simon smiles, but then it's revealed to be a dream when it cuts to Simon waking up next to the Pilot, who is sleeping]
- Piggy: Maybe we should just build a raft and row off
- Ralph: I will if you will. Well?
- Piggy: We don't really know what's out there
- Ralph: I bet you out past the reef lots of boats come by every day, and one of them could rescue us
- Piggy: Yeah? Well, suppose it didn't, suppose it was Russian, then what? We'd be taken prisoner
- Ralph: The Russians wouldn't take us prisoner
- Piggy: I don't know. Major Dingledine, my new Dad told me...
- Ralph: Major Dingledine?
- Piggy: Yeah. He said if the Russians invaded the U.S., they would take the kids, and separate us from our parents. And I know it sounds weird, but they might make us go into the Olympics or something like that
- [Ralph laughs]
- Piggy: I don't see what's so funny
- Ralph: Piggy, I don't think you have to worry about the Russians forcing you into the Olympics
- [Ralph continues laughing, Piggy now laughs as well]
- Ralph: [Points ahead] Hey, what's that?
- [They see an accordion washing upon shore. Ralph and Piggy takes it to the sand. Ralph pretends to play it, making sounds with his mouth]
- Piggy: Where do you think it comes from?
- Ralph: [Excited] A Russian submarine... full of Olympic athletes!
- [Piggy smiles then makes sounds with his mouth]
- Larry: Anyone who wants to come up has to ask!
- Simon: Where are the others?
- Larry: They're hunting
- Simon: Where's the cave you found?
- [Larry, looking nervous, doesn't reply]
- Simon: Don't you know where it is?
- Larry: Yeah, but I'm not going back. I already showed Jack and the others
- Simon: Tell me where it is
- Larry: You shouldn't go there
- Simon: I just wanna look, I've got a glow stick
- Larry: [Points ahead] It's over there in the forest
- [At nighttime, the Twins walk down the rocky slope to where Sheraton and Steve are]
- Steve: About time. You guys by yourselves?
- Sam, Twin #1: Yep
- Sheraton: [as he follows Steve up the rocky slope] Listen, you two, you have to stay awake, you know
- Eric, Twin #2: Give us a break!
- Sam, Twin #1: What do you think, you have to be 11-years-old or else you can't stand a dumbass watch?
- Sheraton: Just stay awake
- [continues walking out of sight]
- Sam, Twin #1: [to Eric] What's the big deal? There's nobody left except Ralph
- Eric, Twin #2: They're scared of the monster
- Sam, Twin #1: [Confused] You said we didn't believe in the monster, you said...?
- Eric, Twin #2: I'm pretty sure we don't
- [Ralph secretly arrives]
- Ralph: [Whispers] Sam... Eric... it's me
- Sam, Twin #1: You shouldn't be around here, Ralph
- Eric, Twin #2: You're not allowed. The hunter's are gonna come after you
- Sam, Twin #1: Yeah. And Jack had Roger sharpen his stick at both ends
- Ralph: If that happens... it will be because *you* let it happen. If you don't stand up to him, you're just another one of his slaves
- Steve: [From atop the cliff, unseen] Hey, keep alert down there!
- [Ralph runs away, the Twins look very nervous]
- [At nighttime, the boys are around the fire. Jack is telling a ghost story]
- Jack Merridew: The forest was totally dark, but he had to keep going because the "thing" was behind him. The pus was everywhere. He could feel it, and all while the thing behind him kept coming closer. And then, suddenly he realized it wasn't any normal plants or bushes he was trying to run through. It wasn't the leaves or plants that were brushing up against him, touching his arms and face. It was thousands of claws, long claws grasping at him, trying to stop him and hold him for the thing. And he tried to get away, but they held on choking him! He tries to scream!
- [Jack screams, then so does Rapper. Simon hears it from another part of the island. Greg cries]
- Piggy: [to Greg] It's only a story. It's not real
- [At nighttime, Sheraton and Andy are on fire watch together]
- Sheraton: What time is it?
- Andy: What difference does it make?
- Sheraton: Well, if I knew what time it was, I'd know what's on TV. I'm not even sure what day it is
- Andy: It's Monday
- Sheraton: Are you sure?
- Andy: I'm sure
- Sheraton: Monday's... Monday's ALF!
- Andy: ALF comes on at 8 o'clock. It's a lot later than 8
- Sheraton: Yeah, but I bet we're in a different time zone. I bet it's really about 8 o'clock, and ALF's causing some trouble right now
- Andy: Yeah
- [the boys are resting on a small precipice. Using a survival knife, Jack carves a face into the rock]
- Andy: Are you going hunting for pigs again? I wanna come next time
- Rapper: Me too
- Jack Merridew: I don't know what I'm gonna do
- [Andy, Sheraton, Tony and Tex are on fire watch. Andy is holding a dead newt]
- Sheraton: Do you think it has any protein in it?
- [Andy shrugs his shoulders]
- Tony: Here, give it here
- [Andy does so. Tony rests the dead newt on his stick, and puts it on the flame]
- Tex: I heard they're supposed to taste like chicken
- [Tony laughs, and shortly after takes the cooked newt off the fire. He takes one of the newt's legs off, and eats it]
- Tony: Want some?
- Peter: Sir? Are we ever going home?
- Ralph: Of course we are. As soon as they see our signal
- Peter: Jack says that we're never going to be rescued
- Ralph: No, you misunderstood him, that's not what he meant
- Jack Merridew: That's *exactly* what I meant. There's 8 million islands around here, why should they find this one?
- Ralph: [Quietly to Peter] Don't listen to him. We will be rescued, Peter, honest
- Jack Merridew: [to all the hunters] I'll get fire, I promise you. Tomorrow, we'll hunt again, but we have to be careful, because the monster might come anytime
- Sam, Twin #1: But didn't we? I thought we...
- Jack Merridew: No! It could come again anytime, in any shape! Just when we're not ready, it could be there!
- [Luke is spear fishing. At the top of a cliff, Jack, Roger and Rapper playfully chuck rocks at the water next to Luke]
- Ralph: Hey, cut it out!
- [Jack, Roger and Rapper still throw the rocks]
- Ralph: Are you crazy? Stop it!
- [the 3 boys each chuck their final rock]
- Eric, Twin #2: [to Pablo] Do you know why Jack got sent to Military School? Because he was in trouble
- Pablo: Who says?
- Eric, Twin #2: Tony. Jack told him he took a car and drove it on the highway
- Pablo: He's a liar. He didn't steal a car
- Sam, Twin #1: He didn't say he stole it, he just borrowed it. And the neighbour was away and he just like borrowed it and drove it on the highway
- Pablo: He probably borrowed his Dad's bicycle and road it around the block
- Eric, Twin #2: Then how come he got arrested?
- Sam, Twin #1: Yeah, by the highway patrol?
- Eric, Twin #2, Sam, Twin #1: They got him doing 80!
- [Luke successfully spear fishes out a blowfish. Pablo and the Twins are grossed out]
- Roger: We have to practice on stuff that moves
- [Using his spear, Roger pushes the lizard off of Simon's hands onto the floor, then stabs the lizard dead]
- [the boys are trying to make the first signal fire. Jack is trying to use sticks]
- Ralph: Here, let me try
- Jack Merridew: I got it, I got it. Shit! Damn! Mother...
- Piggy: Swearing won't help
- Jack Merridew: [Shoves Piggy] Listen Piggy! Shut your fat ass!
- Ralph: Hold it! Hold it! Hey, wait a minute. Piggy give me your glasses
- [Ralph takes the glasses off of Piggy's face]
- Piggy: Hey, give 'em back!
- Ralph: Trust me
- Piggy: What are you doing?
- [Ralph uses the lens to focus the sunlight on the wood. Moments later a fire starts, but it goes out of control]
- [Ralph is hiding behind a fallen tree from the hunters, who have set the forest on fire. Ralph sees Jack walking very slowly through the bushes, meters away from finding Ralph. The Twins find Ralph, but don't make it obvious]
- Jack Merridew: See anything over there?
- Sam, Twin #1: [Lying] No
- Sam, Twin #1, Eric, Twin #2: Nothing
- [the Twins walk away. Behind the other side of where Ralph is hiding, Roger sees him]
- Roger: Jack!
- Jack Merridew: Get him!
- [Ralph runs out of the bush, the hunters chase after him]
- [During the night, a helicopter flies to the island]
- Ralph: They're back! Simon, they're back!
- [But the helicopter passes them then blows up above the ocean. The boys are horrified. Another one of Simon's dreams, he wakes up, to the trees falling over]
- Ralph: [to Simon] Are you alright? It's only a storm
- [the boys are looking for the Pilot. They find his clothes stuck between some boulders next to the sea]
- Simon: Look!
- [Grabs the clothes]
- Ralph: It's nobody's fault, Simon, he just didn't know what he was doing
- Simon: I don't think he's what you think, I don't think he's dead
- Ralph: Why not?
- Simon: Where are his shoes? We've gotta keep looking
- Ralph: He just swam out in 'em
- Simon: [Confused] And his belt? He left his pants, and swam out in his shoes and belt?
- Ralph: He was crazy, Simon
- [the first night after the boys arrive on the island, they're all sleeping except Simon and the Pilot]
- The Pilot: [Whispers] Water... water...
- [Simon leaves, and by dawn he's made it to another part of the island, eventually finding a river. He drinks from it, then when he returns to all the other boys who are still sleeping, he wakes up Ralph]
- Simon: Sir, sir. I found water
- [Cut to all the boys going to the river and drinking from it. Ralph, Jack, Roger, Pablo and Rapper walk to the highest point of the island, and are awed by the tremendous view]
- Jack Merridew: [to Ralph] Well, that's it, Colonel
- [Jack and Roger are by the fire, where Sheraton and Tony are. Jack takes fire from a stick]
- Jack Merridew: You should've seen it. He was scared shitless
- Tony: Do you think there was something in there? Some kind of wild animal or something?
- Jack Merridew: I know it. We heard it growl
- Sheraton: Is it close?
- Jack Merridew: Just over the big rise behind our camp. Real close
- Tony: Holy shit
- Jack Merridew: I just thought you ought to know
- Tony: Yeah
- Jack Merridew: Thanks for the fire
- [Jack and Roger walk down the hill where the Twins walk up with Peter]
- Tony: Here come the reserves
- Jack Merridew: Better keep on your toes tonight, cadets
- Sam, Twin #1: What do you mean?
- Jack Merridew: You'll find out
- Eric, Twin #2: [Referring to the flaming stick] What are you doing with that?
- Jack Merridew: The next time we kill a pig, we're gonna have a barbecue
- Sam, Twin #1: Do you think the other guys are ok?
- Eric, Twin #2: Who cares?
- Sam, Twin #1: Ok, dork, I was just asking!
- Ralph: We should relight the fire
- [Ralph and Jack are walking together down a beach]
- Ralph: I don't know if he can hold up, I mean what if he suddenly gets really sick?
- Jack Merridew: Man, you've gotta stop worrying so much, we got it made. No parents, no teachers, no academy, no girls. Of course, I wouldn't mind getting a little every now and then
- Ralph: [Sarcastically] Like you ever got any
- Jack Merridew: Well, I still wouldn't mind
- [Jack pushes Ralph over, Ralph then does the same to Jack, playfully, then Jack pushes Ralph over again and Ralph lands on his cast]
- Ralph: My arm!
- Jack Merridew: You okay?
- [But Ralph was just pretending, and kicks Jack down]
- Ralph: Psyche!
- [Both boys laugh. Then cut to Ralph and Jack in the jungle looking for the pig. Jack has a knife. They see the pig, and Jack quickly charges, but the pig gets away]
- Jack Merridew: [Frustrated] Nearly got him. Next time
- [Jack whacks a branch with the knife]
