    [All are quiet. For several seconds they strain to hear something.]

    [Suddenly a woman's voice is plainly heard drifting across the Submarine Lagoon]

    "Maaaaaaaaaaannny! I'm coming, Maannnnny!"

    He also directed the 1985 CBS miniseries Alice in Wonderland... which also starred some of his disaster movie actors. :)

    OTHER OBLIGATORY SCENARIOS
    -The climb up through the Matterhorn
    -The maze of Splash Mountain with the dreaded rush of water, and thus a few deaths into the briar patch
    -The Mark Twain and Columbia being capsized
    -A firestorm inside Indy
    -An explosion caused by the leaking gas in the Autopia cars
    -AAs, the statue of Walt and a castle cave-in crushing assorted people.

    OTHER STUFF
    -Obligatory jerk who lives
    -Obligatory jerk who dies
    -Obligatory second hero who lives or dies at the last possible moment (which is usually rare)
    -Obligatory loss of a loved one in which that person's SO does not want to go on, but must because their death will be meaningless
    -Obligatory super rescue
    -Obligatory last look at the remains of the disaster by the hero and heroine, usually with some sappy quote to the heroine or to the police/fire chief


    DLANDDUG (crying): It was the Happiest Place on Earth.

    INSPECTOR57: Darnit man, we don't have time for this! There are hundreds of people underneath that rubble who will DIE if we don't hurry up and get down there!

    DYING WOMAN: I just wanted to let you know that I've always loved you.
    GRIEVING MAN: No, don't say that! We're almost there! Just, just a few more feet!

    Oh, how I wish I could have a reason to call one of the other characters a "blundering, bubble-headed booby" ala Dr. Smith.

    At the movie's finale, Rap Star Athlete tosses TALL a FUBU jersey, and says with a small grin "Y'ever in my 'hood, look me up, a'ight?" TALL nods, and tosses Rap Star Athlete a Janice of the Muppets button, flashes his trademark grin and says "Shore 'nuff!"

    DlandDug comes to large boulder. Begins to walk around its right side. Pauses. Thinks. Says, "No, sorry. This is the way," and passes around the left side of the boulder, the line following him.

    From the back of the group, Beaumandy shouts:

    "No! This is insane! STOP, you people! Can't you SEE?! He doesn't know what he's doing! If you follow him, HE'LL GET YOU KILLED! He doesn't know what to do! He doesn't even know what he thinks! Did you see him with that boulder?! HE CHANGED HIS MIND! WHAT KIND OF LEADER CHANGES HIS MIND LIKE THAT?!"

    "You're all going the wrong way! Come with ME! I KNOW THE WAY!"

    "TRUST ME! I'M RIGHT! Well, WHO'S WITH ME?!"

    The other survivors look at Dug, who says nothing. They look questioningly at each other. Then they simply look down.

    Beaumandy: FINE! BUT YOU'LL BE SORRY! I'M TELLING YOU KNOW! YOU'LL BE SORRY!

    Beaumandy reels around, backtracks, then heads off down a previously unchosen pathway. The other survivors slowly face forward again, then proceed to follow Dug around the boulder.

    More shots of grimaces, hands, sweating.

    Minutes later, the sound of rockslide. The survivors pause momentarily, then move on.

    But will they survive the drive?

    EdisYoda, covered in dust, runs up behind the survivors following DlandDug.

    "You $#@@!!&^%%%s!!! You killed Beaumandy!!!!"

    Cut to series of horrified reaction shots.

    Just then, Beaumandy, covered in dusts, staggers forward from the gloom.

    "Commodore, I believe I will have another cognac," he says, as his eyes cross and he collapses, unconcious.

    EdisYoda is visibly relieved, and is once again able to speak in character. "On head, hit with rocks he was," says EdisYoda. "Carry him to safety, we must!"

    "Kerry!?? Don't tell me he WON!??" shrieks Beaumandy, jolted awake.

    The survivors have a good chuckle. Even Beau laughs. Much needed comic relief in all this intense drama.

    DlandDug: WHAT ar eyou doing? You need to head THIS WAY (points toward the Matterhorn).

    CurioWolfSo: No! This way will lead us to safety (points toward it's a small world).

    Dug: (rushes up and begins grabbing people, spinning them aside. They continue to blindly stumble into the tunnel) Don't you see? Even if you manage to get through to the other side, that song will drive you MAD!

    (Camera pulls straight up as Dland Dug's group gently pulls him away. CuriosWolfSo follows the last of his group into it's a small world. The music fades as DlandDug heads south, with his group trailing behind.)
