Moonrise Kingdom Page #3

After that,

I was only a blue jay, but...

Dear Suzy, I'm sorry

that your brothers are so selfish.

Maybe they will grow out of it.

Sometimes people do things

without knowing the reasons for...

Dear Sam, you are

an excellent painter,

especially trees

and telephone poles.

Is the girl in the water supposed to be

me? My favorite color is...

Dear Suzy, I accidentally built a

fire while I was sleepwalking.

I have no memory of this,

but my foster parents think I am lying.

Unfortunately, it is...

Dear Sam, I am in trouble again

because I threw a rock

through the window.

My mother still has

glass in her hair. Also...

Dear Suzy, I have been

trying very hard to make friends,

but I feel people do

not like my personality.

In fact, I can understand

why they might not...

Dear Sam,

now I am getting suspended

because I got in

a fight with Molly.

She says I go berserk.

Our principal is against me. Why do some...

Dear Suzy, I know your parents

hurt' your feelings,

but they still love you.

That is more important. If they...

Dear Sam, I do think you should

think of their faces every day,

even if it makes you sad.

It is too bad they

did not leave you

more pictures of themselves.

Can you...

Dear Suzy, here is my plan.

Dear Sam, my answer is yes.

Dear Suzy, when?

Dear Sam, where?

Dear Suzy,

walk 400 yards due north from your house

to the dirt path

which has not got any name on it.

Turn right and follow to the

end. I will meet you in the meadow.

Gee whiz, what do you

suppose happened to him?

I'm not sure.

I think he went searching in the dark.

She stole the batteries

out of my flashlight.

Stole the batteries

out of the flashlight...

I think he's onto us.

Of course he is.

Of course he is?

Of course he is.

Then why aren't we

worried about that?

I am.

Well, I didn't know.

Or, anyway,

I thought maybe I was wrong.

Did you hit him?

No. He fell in a ditch.

Hey! Cat food!

I think it's a clue.

That's her.

Where's he going?

I don't know.

All right,

we know they're together.

We know they're within

a certain radius of this spot.

I'm declaring a case

with the county right now.

Until help arrives, I'm deputizing

the little guy, the skinny one,

and the boy with

the patch on his eye

to come with me in

the station wagon.

Randy, you drop in and head up

river with the rest of your troops,

split up on foot.

Becky, call Jed,

tell him to circle over

this end of the island

and fly low.

Is it them?

Yeah, yeah.

They found the campfire.

Rats! I should have put

more pine needles on it. Let's go.

Be careful.

What do you creeps want?

We're looking for you.

Why?

Well, because

you're a fugitive.

No, I'm not.

I quit the Khaki Scouts.

Well, it doesn't matter

anyway. You don't have that authority.

We've been deputized.

Now, you're going to come

along peacefully or not?

Listen to some reason.

I don't like you.

You don't like me.

So, why don't you

just let us disappear?

Well, it's tempting,

but we can't allow it.

You know,

you shouldn't be friends with him.

Why not?

Because he's crazy.

Maybe you just don't know him.

Actually, we know him

a lot better than you.

He's emotionally disturbed

because his family died.

Nickleby, tie him up.

Do not cross this stick.

You're doomed, Shakusky.

Molly's right, I do go berserk.

It was him or us.

Oh, no.

She stabbed

Redford in the back with lefty scissors.

Repeat that, please? Over.

Puncture wound, lower lumbar.

Make room for a stretcher in the cockpit.

You're going to be okay.

Thank goodness she

missed the artery. Here, bite on this.

I tried to chop him,

but he dodged my tomahawk.

He's got

excellent marksmanship.

Shot Deluca in both arms.

I guess we're going to miss

the Hullabaloo after all.

Where's Snoopy?

Those sons of b*tches.

They got him right

through the neck.

Was he a good dog?

Who's to say.

But he didn't deserve to die.

What happened? Who is that?

Clear the dock, Edgar!

- Why is he bleeding?

- Is Suzy with you?

No, she's in

the woods with Shakusky.

Where am I going?

The infirmary at Fort Lebanon.

We'll be right behind you. You got it?

Yup.

Warm up the motor,

I'll be right back.

Hold it right there!

You're not leaving this island.

Our daughter has been

abducted by one of these beige lunatics.

Walt, it's very clear.

The two of them

conspired in this together.

Don't worry,

Mr. Bishop. She'll be safe.

Sam's got excellent

wilderness skills.

Why can't you

control your Scouts?

Well, I'm trying.

Hey.

Stop it! Stop it!

- Stop it!

- Stop it.

I do blame him.

But I also blame myself and both of you.

With all due respect,

you can't let your children stab people.

What are you talking about?

She's violent,

Mrs. Bishop, it's assault.

- Are you a lawyer?

- No, I'm not a lawyer.

Well, we are!

Take your hands off my wife!

Take them off!

Excuse me.

Excuse me, Captain Sharp!

As some of you know,

I taught Sam

for the cartography

accomplishment button.

He's a smart boy

and he expressed a keen interest

in the history of the island's

indigenous peoples.

In particular,

I recall his fascination with the idea

of retracing the original path of the

old Chickchaw harvest migration.

What I'm getting at is this.

I think I know where they're going.

Onto the birdhouse,

where every kind

of bird imaginable

is whirling

and wheeling around.

This is our land!

Yes, it is!

Run!

Let's jump!

On three!

One, two, three!

Any of you who have ever

had to sweat through piano exercises

will sympathize with these...

I like it here,

but I don't like the name.

Me, neither.

"Mile 3.25 Tidal Inlet"

It's got no ring to it.

Let's change it.

What should it be?

Let me think for a minute.

I made you some jewelry.

Are your ears pierced?

It's pretty.

Do the other one.

Why do you

always use binoculars?

It helps me see things

closer, even if they're not very far away.

I pretend it's my magic power.

That sounds like poetry.

Poems don't always

have to rhyme, you know.

They're just

supposed to be creative.

So, what do you want to be

when you grow up?

I don't know.

I want to go on adventures, I think.

Not get stuck in one place.

How about you?

Go on adventures, too.

Not get stuck, too.

Anyway, we can't

predict the exact future.

That's true.

It's possible I may

wet the bed, by the way. Later, I mean.

Okay.

I wish I didn't

have to mention it, but just in case.

I don't want to

make you be offended.

Of course I won't.

What's that one for?

- This?

- Yeah.

It's not

an accomplishment button.

I inherited it from my mother.

It's not actually meant for a male to

wear, but I don't give a damn.

Are your foster parents

still mad at you,

for getting in trouble so much?

I don't think so.

We're starting to get to

know each other better.

I feel I'm in

a real family now.

Not like yours,

but similar to one.

I always wished

I was an orphan.

Most of my

favorite characters are.
