Ramona And Beezus Page #7

Ramona,

those people don't know who I am, really.

There's only one person

in that whole school who really knows me.

- Henry?.

- Yeah.

And that took 1 5 years.

Who else is gonna wanna waste 1 5 years

getting to know me?.

I would.

Ramona...

I know that you think

being different is bad...

but it's not.

You don't worry about coloring

inside the Iines, you know?.

Huh?

You're your own person.

You don't care what other people think.

It's brave being how you are.

Oh.

Well...

sometimes I color inside the Iines.

It really depends on the picture.

Yeah.

All right.

So, how does this look?

It's perfect. Yeah, it's great.

Why does it have to be Susan's mom?.

She's supposed to be a very good agent,

sweetheart.

That's great! Ta-dah!

Some plants over here.

The color will be...

Aren't you gonna help us, Ramona?

We only have a few hours to do this.

I don't wanna help sell the house.

I wanted to save it.

Are you gonna fill these holes before you go?

Howie wants to do it.

Why don't you get

your boyfriend Hobart to help?

- He likes to dig.

- Isn't that the truth?

Now he wants me to go with him to Alaska.

Last night, he sent roses.

aska?. Did you say yes?.

I mean, I was tempted...

but if I 'm gonna uproot my entire Iife...

I need some real sign of commitment.

- I'm sorry, Bea.

- Oh, no. Don't be.

We had our fight,

and now he's running away again.

In the Iong run,

I saved myself a massive heartache...

and just replaced it with a... small one.

Ramona, grab a hose and help out, okay?.

I know Iife stinks,

but we still have to make the yard Iook good.

Everything will be okay, babe.

Onwards and upwards.

Oh, I see! Very funny.

Who did that? Bea? That's just adorable.

assy, Bea. Very classy.

Now I gotta go inside

and change all my clothes.

Real nice.

Bea.

That's for the roses, sweetheart.

They need water.

Oh! There it is! Exhibit "A"!

The class clown hasn't changed at all!

Oh, really?

Okay. That's how it is, huh?

Howie! Willa Jean!

Mom!

Ladies, I need backup!

I need backup!

- Find a garden hose!

- Okay. Come on!

I hope you get frostbite in Alaska!

Be strong! Be strong, Willa Jean!

Be strong!

Get 'em!

Yeah! Now what?. Now what?.

Aunt Bea!

- Go, go, go!

- Hey, wait, wait, wait.

I think we won. I think we won!

Give me some! Whoo-hoo!

Nice job, you guys. You were animals!

Look who's crying now!

My pipes! I told you, my pipes!

- What's all the shouting about?.

- Landscaping.

Oh!

What?

Hobart was right!

It's an ancient curse!

What?.

I knew it was around

here somewhere!

Bea! Bea, come here. Come here.

Come here, come here,

come here, come here.

Oh, Beatrice,

I buried this baby a Iong time ago...

and I figured I'd find it again someday

when I was ready.

I still wish that I could go back and fix...

all the stupid things I did

when we were younger.

I guess this is as close as I can get.

You kept all this stuff?.

Yeah.

That's my gum ball ring.

Bea, I don't want to go anyplace else

without you.

I Iove you.

Will you marry me?

You will?

Guts!

My head is spinning!

We must be crazy! We'll have to go

to the courthouse and make it official!

No, we ain't goin' to no stinking courthouse.

If we're gonna do something crazy,

we're gonna do it with style.

We're gonna throw a real wedding.

- Honey, they want you in Alaska in three days.

- That's plenty of time.

Sure. But what about a church or food...

or, say, a wedding dress?

You can use mine.

You always said you Iiked it.

- We can just alter it.

- Yeah! See? I Iike that idea.

- There you go!

- Hand-me-downs. It never ends, Ramona.

Yeah. We get the word out, we book a band...

boom- we got a wedding!

People can bring their own food,

their own chairs.

All we need is a little love

and a few bridesmaids.

I've always wanted to be a bridesmaid!

Well, that was easy. Anybody else?

- Ramona? Ramona?

- What do you say?. Will you do us the honor?

Ramona?

Sea bass!

Sea what?

Hey, it's an inside joke. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

You said you wouldn't get reeled in!

You said I would always have you around!

Hey, Ramona, get back here and apologize!

Honey, please, come talk to me!

You have room for a piano.

Also, look at this built-in desk.

It's fabulous.

Here.

- Ramona?

- Stuff that's to go around here, right?

Ramona!

Help, anybody!

- Oh, Ramona!

- Whoa, whoa!

- Got you! I got you! Come on, honey!

- Okay. Hold on.

We got you!

We saw your underpants!

Hey, enough.

Hey, enough.

Stop the teasing. Go outside.

Happens all the time. Thank you.

Okay, Ramona, that's it.

These antics of yours gotta stop right now.

You're making our Iives really difficult.

I thought I made it colorful, Dad.

Not in the middle of our

open house! Come on!

You said you were gonna be more responsible!

It's time to grow up!

Dad, can't you see I'm trying?

Well, you gotta try harder!

Dad?

Mrs. Meacham's on the phone.

- She needs to talk to you.

- Oh, great.

What now?

Sweetie.

- Ramona, your father was just--

- Mom, I'm nine years old.

I think I can tell when I'm not wanted.

I just have to run away.

Ramona, don't be silly.

- You're not gonna run away.

- No, I mean it.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

How Iong will you be gone?

I mean, just in case people start asking.

Forever.

Well, in that case,

I think you're gonna need a bigger suitcase.

Okay. Now, I've added your dad's old sweater.

I don't want you to get cold at night.

It's a Iittle big on you now,

but you'll eventually grow into it.

Oh, and do you plan on brushing your teeth?.

That's my girl.

I packed your toothbrush and your toothpaste.

Okay?

Just promise me that

you' brush your teeth every single night.

There you go.

righty.

Don't forget to write.

Daddy.

Gettin' on or not?.

Ramona?

Sweetie?. Ramona?.

M-Mom?.

- Ramona?.

- Mom!

Yes. Where are you?

- Can you hear me? Mom?

- Ramona, sweetie?.

You made my bag heavy on purpose.

Well, what else was I supposed to do, huh?.

I'd be just Iost without my Ramona.

I'm sorry.

I just thought you all

would be better off without me.

You don't think we'd Iet you get away that

easy, do you?. You're a Quimby for Iife.

I hope nobody I know sees us out here.

We're so weird.

In sickness and in health.

- For richer or for poorer.

- For richer or for poorer.

And I promise my Iove to you.

And I promise my Iove to you.

And I promise my Iove to you.

May I have the rings, please?.

Pull it off.

Well...

Don't panic, folks. It's only plastic.

Ramo...

Oh. Babe?.

Ah. Look at you.

Nice work, Ramona.

Hobart, that's... That's...

That's... That's real.
