Lady in the Water Page #5
- Is he serious?
- Huge party. We are serious.
- Tell them...
Anything you can do for us,
all right? Tables...
We definitely need a band. It's like
the most important thing. Oh, my God.
You don't think this is gonna work,
do you?
I'm nervous too.
You being out there tomorrow night.
Me not knowing what to do
as the Guardian.
Think I can go out there tonight
and maybe face that thing without you?
Get a little practice with him?
Scare him, maybe?
Show him who's boss?
I know you wanna get home.
You will need a mirror.
Can you hear me? I'm here.
Peer over your shoulder carefully.
It is only through a mirror that one can
see the eyes of a scrunt in the grass.
It will appear to you
as two red spots in the darkness.
Yeah, l... I don 't... I...
Wait.
I see him.
The Guardian has instincts
of when the scrunt will attack.
He is a great weapon against him.
You should walk backwards
towards him.
When you are close enough
to be certain of his position...
...turn and face the hidden scrunt.
I'm facing him.
I am scared.
It is about to get very dangerous.
Okay.
I'm ready.
You must invoke the ancient words
"Nef Ra Mora."
It is a command to rise
and a challenge to fight.
What is happening?
He's rising out of the grass.
His legs are bending and coiling...
...underneath him.
Oh, my God. Oh, my... Oh, no.
The Guardian can hypnotize a scrunt.
If the Guardian looks directly
into the scrunt's eyes...
...it will be compelled to stay frozen
or move backwards.
What is the J.G. Scrunt's reaction?
Is he frightened?
I'm not sure.
- Look into his eyes.
- I am.
- Is he moving away?
- No.
The Guardian can control his mind.
The J.G. Scrunt will not
be able to attack.
- Okay.
- You must look into his eyes.
I think something's wrong.
He's stepping forward.
He's stepping forward?
Something's wrong!
Cleveland, run!
What is it you are doing?
Hey there.
Anything I can do for you there,
Mr. F... F... F... Farber?
No.
So how was the m... Movie?
- Sucked.
- Oh, what a... What a shame.
Characters were walking around
saying their thoughts out loud.
Who does that?
And a typical romance...
...where the couple finally tell each other
they love one another in the rain.
Why does everyone like to stand around
and talk in the rain in movies?
Well, maybe...
Maybe it's a metaphor for purification,
starting new.
No. It's not.
Are you okay?
He'll choose to move
only when no one is looking.
They're masters of hiding.
A scrunt will hide unless
he cannot hide in his environment.
If a tenant hadn't walked by...
...I'd have been eaten alive.
I had no powers over him.
You are not the Guardian.
I do not understand.
Where are the Tartutic?
Why isn't he being punished?
Where is the justice?
How come you don't ask
I've been busy.
You... You coming to the party tonight?
I have to study.
Bye, Mr. Heep.
Mr. Leeds,
did you hear about the p... Party?
You coming?
- A picture here
of the enemy they're...
Does man deserve to be saved,
Mr. Heep?
- What?
- Man.
Yes.
That's not the answer I expected.
Why'd you a... Ask me that?
I know about your family.
I looked you up
when you started working here.
But you can't give up.
You can't hide here, son.
I know.
You don't wanna become like me.
By the way, your invitation would sound
more real if it had the guy's name on it.
There's something strange going on
around this building.
Don't think I haven't noticed.
It is finished?
You can see things in the future?
Some things.
I have a question to ask you.
I will do my best to answer it.
You'll tell me the truth, right?
Yes.
Change doesn't happen the way
you say it's gonna happen...
...without dramatic events
that accelerate thinking.
I wrote this thing.
It might take decades or longer
to create a reaction...
...before it anchors
in the consciousness.
That's not the type of change
you're telling me is gonna happen, right?
I was wondering
why he didn't meet me...
...this leader who's just a boy.
If he was so inspired by my words,
why didn't he try to meet me?
There's a lot of things in The Cookbook
people won't like to hear.
I'm not anything, you know?
I don't think I'm anything special.
So I started thinking,
"How is this gonna happen?
take me seriously?
And why didn't he meet me?"
And I thought of how it could happen.
Story, I wanted to ask you,
is something gonna happen to me?
because I write this?
Yes.
Man thinks they're each alone
in this world.
It is not true.
You are all connected.
One act can one day affect all.
What are you guys whispering about?
Is he trying to get you to tell him
how many kids he's gonna have?
I told him eight, all bratty boys.
I asked her if she knew the name
of the deaf, dumb and blind guy...
Very funny, Herb.
Okay.
Don't tell my sister.
Hi. I'm Mr. Farber.
I was completely surprised by all of this.
I was expecting some kind of greeting,
of course.
But this is beyond my expectations.
I'm 13B.
- Oh, yeah. How you doing? What's up?
- Oh, yeah. Good for you.
I know of your future, Cleveland.
Do you wanna hear it?
No.
Tell me what happens
when the eagle takes you back.
It is only what I have been told
by others.
They tell us the world will line up
and reveal we are on the right path...
...that the universe will give us signs.
The Tartutic could have not come yet.
I can still sense
the scrunt's presence near.
You have to believe
that this all makes sense somehow.
I don't know why I'm the Madam Narf.
I'm not special. I'm clumsy.
They make fun of me.
I don't know how to lead.
Do you get sick
every time you break a rule?
Every time that you tell me
something that you shouldn't?
There's a storm coming.
- I am scared.
- It's okay to be scared.
I do not have courage.
I do not want to be a Madam Narf.
You do what you think is right.
You are very brave.
You were always meant to lead, Story.
Cleveland...
...the Great Eatlon is coming.
Okay.
I'm glad you read my journal.
Don't worry. We're all watching you.
Oh, come on.
The music should have started already.
Do not leave this spot.
- Yo, come on.
- Hey.
Find a mirror.
Why hasn't the m... Music started?
It's been working smooth.
We've been playing with it all night.
You used up the battery.
Wave to him.
They told her that the universe
would line up...
...and reveal that we're
on the right p... Path.
Why isn't this working?
Okay.
Sometimes animals just look dead.
Something went wrong.
They took her inside, up by the pool.
It is not time for you to go.
It is not time for you to go.
Isn't this supposed to work?
Fourteen across.
No. No.
I don't know.
I don't know.
your purpose, right?
