Poetry from some boy?

- I worry about you a lot, Bevvie.

- Daddy, please!

- Not even 12 and already with some boy!

- Let me alone!

Come here! Don't make me

go over there and collect you.

- You come to me.

- No.

- What did you say?

- I said no!

You get back here, Bevvie!

And in front of God,

I'll whip the skin off of you!

YOUNG BEN:

Hi.

- Sorry if I scared you. Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Haven't you got anything better

to do than go sneaking up on people?

- Sorry.

- You should be.

I was thinking, if you didn't have

anything better to do...

...you could come down with me

to the barrens.

The barrens?

This is Eddie.

And this is Bill.

Hi.

Hi.

You guys know each other already?

Bev wants to help. I hope

it's okay. I mean, she's a girl.

Sure.

What's this? By George, Martha,

it's the river Nile...

...and four, count them,

four sphinxes!

- Richie.

- You were expecting, maybe, Gunga Din?

Richie will drive you crazy,

but he's okay.

I heard that. Hi, Bill.

How you doing, Eddie Spaghetti?

Don't do that,

and don't call me Eddie Spaghetti.

You love it. It's what makes you

chuckalicious. Richie Tozier's my name.

[BUZZES]

Doing voices is my game.

This is Stan Uris.

Stan's a Jew,

that means he's very smart.

A high metabolism

makes Richie hyperactive.

So, you, Haystack...

...you building a dam or something?

- Yeah.

- Built one before?

- No.

- How do you know it'll work?

- Why wouldn't it?

- How do you know?

- I know.

- Yeah, he just knows.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Well, okay.

- You're a genius.

- It's not so much.

- Yes, it is! It's great!

- We stopped that sucker!

We could flood the whole barrens.

- We did it! We! Yes!

- Yeah!

YOUNG BILL:

Listen, I'll go this way.

- See you later, alligator.

- After a while, crocodile.

- See you, Ben.

- Yeah, see you, Bill.

YOUNG BILL:

Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!

- See you, Beverly.

- See you.

My heart burns there too.

MAN:
77 Sunset Strip will continue

following station identification.

GIRL'S VOICE:

Help me.

Help me, please!

Help me!

- Help me, Beverly!

- Hello? Is someone there?

A clown brought us down here!

We all float.

- Who are you?

- I'm Vicki Burroughs.

BOY'S VOICE:
I'm Matthew O'Connor.

We're all the dead kids.

VICKl:
Come closer, Beverly.

We all want to meet you.

- We float.

MATTHEW:
We float.

- Daddy!

- What in the name of heaven?!

- The bathroom, Daddy!

- Was someone peeking in at you?

The sink! In the sink!

Well, what is it you think you saw?

Speak up, girl!

I worry about you, Bevvie.

Sometimes I worry a lot.

- Now explain yourself!

- There was a big spider!

It crawled out of the drain!

I guess it crawled back down again.

These old buildings have drains

the size of a tunnel.

There's nothing there now.

Get to bed.

[PENNYWISE LAUGHS]

PENNYWISE:

Say hello to your friends, Beverly!

You'll die if you try

to fight us, Beverly.

You'll die if you try! You'll die

if you try to fight us, Beverly!

You'll die if you try.

You'll die if you try.

You'll die if you try.

You'll die if you try...

WOMAN:

Eddie!

Eddie, where are you?

Eddie!

- Eddie, where are you?

- I'm in here, Ma!

Eddie.

Where are you going?

- I have to go away for a while.

- Away? Where?

Eddie, this isn't like you. Tell me

where you're going. Eddie, stop!

You're in trouble, aren't you?

Eddie, tell me who was on the phone.

Answer me. Answer me!

- Mom, please. Don't cry.

- Eddie, you're scaring me so bad!

You've got to tell me! Eddie...

- Where are you going?

- Back to Derry!

Derry? Why would you want to go back

to that dirty little town?

There's nothing for you there.

There never was, Eddie!

Please, Ma. Please.

Eddie!

Let's get out of here!

- Eddie, what's going on?

- Nothing!

- You look like you've seen a ghost.

- Move it!

MRS. KASPBRAK:

Eddie!

Joey, I'm sorry

to leave you holding the bag.

- Are there enough drivers?

- It's covered.

Do the Pacino job yourself.

He likes the Lincoln stretch.

- I know. The business is under control.

- Great.

- It's you I'm worried about.

- I'm fine.

- So, where are we going?

- Penn Station. The 11:30 to Boston.

[SCREAMING]

- They saw me!

- We better go.

- I'm dead.

- Lf I were you...

...I wouldn't pay to see a monster

movie, I'd look in the mirror!

YOUNG BILL:
Let's get out of here!

YOUNG BEVERLY:
Yeah, let's go!

YOUNG RICHIE:
Did you see those guys?

YOUNG EDDIE:
You made it worse.

YOUNG RICHIE:
It was just a joke.

YOUNG BILL:
You joke too much.

You gotta make jokes

or die of boredom.

- Are we men, or are we mice?

- We're mice!

- Then let's act like mice.

- Look!

That place scares me green.

I think it's haunted.

- That's not empirically possible.

- In English:
Ain't no such thing.

You're a pretty swift guy

for a girl, my chickadee.

Why, Richie, was that a compliment?

On our very first date?

How come he's so special?

The date wasn't just with him, dear.

I love you too.

Hey, don't trip!

YOUNG RICHIE:
You know, Eddie,

it's been great, but see you later.

YOUNG EDDIE:
Okay, see you later.

YOUNG STAN:
Bye, Eddie.

I wish this summer would never end.

It's the best summer of my life.

Eddie?

Eddie Kaspbrak! I was worried sick.

I almost called the police!

YOUNG BILL:
Eddie was with us.

- Go away. Go home!

- These are my friends!

- See you tomorrow.

Eddie has to rest tomorrow.

- Don't play with them anymore.

YOUNG EDDIE:
But they're my friends.

You don't need any friends

except for me.

- You feel warm.

YOUNG EDDIE:
I'm fine.

MRS. KASPBRAK:
No gym and no showers

with the other boys.

I don't want you catching their germs.

All right, you guys, quit that running!

This is a hallway, not a track!

- Did you take a shower, Kaspbrak?

- No, sir.

I'll explain this

to you one more time.

You take Phys Ed, you sweat,

you take a shower. Got it?

PENNYWISE:
It's okay, Eddie. Hi!

I just wanted to say hello!

Hot enough for you up there, is it?

This is a little inconvenient, Eddie.

Hold on while I make

a few adjustments.

Here I am, wheezy!

Hey. You're gonna like it down here.

Won't do any good to run, girly boy.

See you in your dreams. Come back

anytime. Bring your friends.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]

[PHONE RINGS]

RICHIE:

- So I say, "Go ahead, make my day!"

Suddenly, I'm feeling my way

to the toilet.

I mean, how much power

does the electric company have?

Remember Godzilla? A plane

and an A-bomb couldn 't stop him.

Nancy Reagan couldn 't stop him!

But you get him in front

of one high power line:

"Look, look, the creature

is attacking the city!"

[MIMICS GODZILLA]

You guys are great! Good night!

Bobby!

Guys!

- Good night! Thank you!

- Beautiful!

RICHIE:
That political material

is getting old.

Who the hell knows Betty Ford?

We've got to work on this!

Hold on.

There she is! Hi!

[PHONE RINGS]

How's my favorite niece?

I'm glad you made it!

- I want to see Miller on Monday!

NAT:
It's arranged.

If I'm hosting next week,
