Stephanie

---

Well, I was...

I just wanted to see

how it ends.

So, you're the brave one.

- I guess.

- It's good.

It'll carry well down there.

A little help here, Francis.

Come on.

Not quite it, Francis.

Just not quite it.

Francis! Look what you did!

Bad turtles

don't get smoothies.

Come on...

Stop!

It's not funny.

Stop it!

This is good,

if I do say so myself.

Ow.

Ow.

Ow, ow, ow, ow.

The end is kind of sad.

Are you sure

you wanna hear this?

Okay.

"Once upon a time,

there was a unicorn

named Eleanor.

She wasn't like

the other unicorns

because she had two horns.

There's the wizard,

he says he can help her,

but only if she finds

someone else like her.

So she wanders around

until she finds a knight

who's stuck in a tree.

He's lonely, too,

and his name is Francis.

And they go back to the wizard

so he can make her normal.

But then the wizard says

that she's better than normal,

she's special.

And now that

she has another friend,

she's not lonely."

And that's it. The end.

But it doesn't make sense.

That's not even what she wanted.

See?

Told you it was sad.

I want Mommy and Daddy.

No peeking, okay?

One alligator,

two alligator,

three alligator,

four alligator,

five alligator,

six alligator,

seven alligator,

eight alligator,

nine alligator,

ten alligator,

eleven alligator,

twelve alligator,

thirteen alligator,

fourteen alligator,

fifteen alligator,

sixteen alligator,

seventeen alligator,

eighteen alligator,

nineteen alligator...

twenty alligator...

twenty-one alligator,

twenty-two alligator.

Okay, Francis, I'm here.

Come find me!

Go away. Please, go away!

Go away.

It came back.

See that?

That's where it lives.

Out past the trees.

When the monster comes,

you have to stay calm.

You can't even think

bad thoughts.

If it hears you,

it gets super angry.

Don't worry,

I won't let him get you.

You have to do what I say,

because I'm your mommy.

That means I'll always

take care of you,

and never go away

and leave you.

Come on, Francis,

kick it back.

Don't be a loser.

Oh, Mr. Hopper!

I'll be right back.

Shoot!

Sh*t!

Sh*t-ass! Sh*t!

Sh*t-ass, sh*t-ass,

sh*t-ass, sh*t!

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

Sh*t!

Sh*t-ass!

Sh*t!

Ass!

Sh*t-ass, sh*t,

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Sh*t-ass, sh*t,

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Sh*t-ass, sh*t,

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Mr. Hopper...

I made you lunch.

Why don't you come back home?

We miss you.

Me and Francis.

Aw.

You just enjoy

the nice cup of tomato sauce.

No! Wait!

Wait, stop.

Come to Mommy.

Stop.

Stay.

Stay.

Now, come back.

Come here, Mr. Hopper.

Wait!

Don't go in there!

Please come back.

Don't leave me.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have brought

you a pumpkin.

It was stupid, it's just...

they get rotten so fast

and you never got to finish it.

So, don't be mad.

Okay?

Paul?

The monster's back.

Your fingers are cold.

Let me sleep here.

Those outside

the hot-zones are required

to remain in their homes

while quarantine is in effect.

Airports are closed.

No unauthorized travel

is allowed to...

Containment

facilities are being

constructed around the country

and authorities are cautioning

that citizens

should not approach

this new...

There you are, Francis.

The guests will arrive shortly.

Well, you look marvelous.

You're marvelous, Ma...

I must compliment you

on your taste

of horn decorations.

Have you met Sir Francis?

He's a very famous explorer,

you know.

And he's not even afraid

of the dark.

At all.

If only we had Mr. Hopper.

Stay there.

Francis, did you do that?

Francis?

You were supposed

to take care of me!

That's your job!

Dad says you're the big brother

and you take care

of Stephanie.

It's your fault.

They left because of you!

They'd still be here

if you hadn't died!

It's your fault!

Okay, you stay there.

You can do this.

Keep a lookout

for anything weird.

I believe in you.

I'll only take a minute.

Did you hear that?

Shh...

Oh, my God.

Stephanie.

Daddy!

- Come here, baby.

- Come here, baby.

I got you.

Yeah.

I got you.

I got you, princess.

We're here.

Let me see your face.

Let me see you.

You okay?

Yeah?

Look at you.

You're okay.

My princess.

That's my girl.

I'm sorry.

I got ya.

Come on, baby.

Paul?

How are you gonna find

your way home?

Stephanie.

Sweetheart! Stephanie!

- Steph!

- Stephanie!

Stephanie!

Steph!

Stephanie! You are not to leave

our sight, young lady!

Don't.

- She needs to listen.

- I said, don't.

Stay calm.

Both of you.

Baby, it's really dangerous

for you to be out there, okay?

Why did you take Paul away?

I want him to come home.

Hi, princess.

Hi, Daddy.

- I'm gonna make us breakfast.

- Okay.

Did you sleep well?

Mm-hmm.

The lights are back on.

Yeah. Your, um,

your father messed

with the breaker.

More?

Mm-hmm.

What's he building?

Oh, you know your dad.

He would rebuild

the Panama Canal if he could.

Why did you leave me?

Stephanie,

you have to understand

that your dad and me,

we never would have left you

here alone if...

We thought that...

You thought

that the monster got me, too.

Yeah.

It still comes

sniffing around.

It's in the woods.

But if we get upset,

it comes into the house.

What do you do then,

when it comes in the house?

We get totally quiet.

Me and Francis are aces

at hiding from it.

Aces.

Mm-hmm.

Steph, you're one tough kid,

you know that?

Not really.

Really, I'm pretty scared.

What do you think?

For the monster?

Yes.

Do you think it's strong

enough to keep it out?

Well,

it's pretty good anyway.

Thanks.

I think so, too.

I like it

when you build stuff.

Is that so?

Mm-hmm.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What happened to Mr. Hopper?

Well, he...

Honey!

Can you come inside

for a minute?

Yeah.

You stay here.

Clear.

Clear?

Crystal.

You stay here.

Clear?

Clear? Okay.

So what's Atlanta

saying about the new protocols?

The CDC

has no comment at this time.

You've seen the news.

The president...

is weighing all options.

There are rumors online

that they've had some success

at the containment facility

in Mumbai.

Yeah, rumors but...

what's going on?

Jane, I've never seen you

like this.

Are Paul and Stephanie okay?

It's cool.

It's impossible not to worry

about all of our kids.

Look, can you talk me through

the isolation protocol?

Three!

Two! One! Popcorn!

Done! Bam!

Eh-eh-eh!

Eh-eh-eh.

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.

Ah, sh*t.

- Dad!

- Oh! Sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

Fantastic.

Salt!

Good. Taste.

Good.

Give me some love.

You almost done

with that fence?

Probably tomorrow.

Good.

Ah, so they tell me.

Steph, what's Francis doing?

Dancing.

Oh baby, turtles can't dance.

Don't listen to her, Francis.

Show her your special dance.

His special... Oh!

Oh!

That is not a special dance!

That is tickle!

Oh, Francis,

you're Fran-tastic.

I don't get it.

I do!

I don't get it.

- Francis is Fran-tastic.

- Francis into fantastic.

But the word is fantastic.
