Nim's Island Page #6

You cannot be alone

for the rest of your life, Alexandra!

I'm not alone. I have you.

No, you don't.

No, you don't have me anymore.

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna be

your crutch anymore.

What?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. Okay, look.

You-We just need to figure this thing out,

so you give me some ideas now. Come on.

- I'm sorry, love. It's over.

- What? What are you talking about?

Alexandra, I quit.

No more adventures.

- You're on your own.

- You-You-You can't quit.

I created you, and you have to do

what I say, not-not the opposite.

Good-bye, old friend.

Good luck.

But wa-Wait! Wait! Come back!

Go to the little girl!

Nim?

Oh! What was that?

Oh, God. Just kill me now

and just get it over with.

Oh!

Eh! Aah.

Nim? Help!

Uh, Nim? Help!

Can you hear me?

It's so dark out here!

Nim?

Nim? Come on, help me.

I traveled halfway around the world.

I took a plane.

I took a helicopter. I- I stole a boat.

The least you can do is help me

get the last hundred yards.

Oh! Oh.

Nim? Nim.

I'm sorry

you don't want me here...

but I- I just thought

I was doin' the right thing.

Oh. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh.

This is how it ends.

A bright light in the darkness.

My- My worst nightmare-

Death by-

death by firefly!

Thank you, Nim.

Oh!

How long

have you lived here?

As long as I can remember.

Wow.

You can go in if you want.

"Jack Rusoe is a scientist

and a writer...

"living on a remote island

in the South Pacific.

He won't tell anyone where it is. "

Nim, how long has

your father been gone?

Four days.

But when Jack sets his mind

on something, it always gets done.

- He'll be back.

- I'm sure he will.

You want any of this?

What-What is it?

Well, these are mung beans

and gobo root.

And these are mealworms.

Oh, uh-

No, I'm-You know,

I- I'm just gonna-

I'm just gonna stick

with my soup.

Your soup?

Sorry about that.

Here. Try some.

Uh, no.

You didn't write

those Alex Rover books, did you?

- I didn't?

- No.

I mean, all Alex Rover ever does

is try new things all the time.

Hmm.

Mmm.

- Hmm. Mmm.

- So?

How is it?

Chewy.

It's chewier than I'd expected...

and it's, uh, not disgusting.

What was I possibly thinking?

Uh. Oh, okay, okay.

Nim?

Nim?

Nim?

It's beautiful.

It's empty.

Maybe-

Maybe he's-he's just lost.

No.

No, my- my dad

is smarter than that.

If his boat was all right,

he would be home by now.

You-You found your way

all the way from San Francisco...

and you don't know

how to do anything.

My dad would be back

from Zander's Atoll...

if he was still alive.

He's not coming back, Alexandra.

Oh, look.

I-

Listen to me.

No matter what happens...

whether it's here or anywhere...

I'll take care of it.

You-You will not be alone.

What-

What-What is that?

Galileo?

It's him.

It's him! Daddy!

- Come on, get on!

- Oh!

Whoo!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

- Oh. Nimmy! Oh! Oh, my God.

- You're here! You're alive!

You're-You're alive!

- I was so worried.

- I told you I'd be back, didn't I?

Oh. Look at you.

Oh, I missed you so much. Ah.

- Are you all right? Yeah?

- I am now.

Thank you, Galileo!

- Thank you, Galileo!

- Hoo-hoo!

What's this?

- Protozoa Nim?

- I don't know.

I have a pretty good

feeling about it.

Come here. Oh.

- What?

- Hi.

Who's this?

Dad, this is Alex Rover.

Alex Rover? I thought-

She wrote the books, Dad.

This is Alexandra Rover,

the writer.

From San Francisco.

You must be Jack Rusoe,

the scientist.

Uh, yeah, Jack...

the scientist, yeah.

What, Daddy?

Oh, nothing. I'm sorry.

I just imagined Alex Rover so...

well, differently.

"The Writer and the Scientist. "

That's how their story began.

How it ends exactly...

nobody knows.

- #I t's a beautiful day #

- # Day #

# The sky falls, you feel like

it's a beautiful day #

# Day #

# Don't let it get away #

# You're on the road #

# But you've got no destination #

# You're in the mud #

# In the maze of her imagination #

# You love this town #

# Even if that doesn't ring true #

# You've been all over #

# And it's been all over you #

- # It's a beautiful day #

- # Day #

# Don't let it get away #

- # It's a beautiful day #

- # Day #

# Ooh, ooh, ooh #

# Touch me #

# Take me to that other place #

# Teach me, oh #

# I know I'm not a hopeless case #

#See the world in green and blue #

# See China right in front of you #

# See the canyons broken by clouds #

# See the tuna fleets

clearing the sea out #

# See the Bedouin fires at night #

# See the oil fields at first light and #

# See the bird with a leaf

in her mouth #

# After the floods

all the colors came out #

# Day #

- # It was a beautiful day #

- # Day #

# Don't let it get away #

- # Beautiful day #

- # Day #

# Touch me #

# Take me to that other place #

# Reach me #

#I know I'm not a hopeless case #

# What you don't have

you don't need it now #

# What you don't know

you can feel it somehow #

# What you don't have

you don't need it now #

# Don't need it now #

# It was a

beautiful day ##
