The Spiderwick Chronicles Page #3

These are pockets, idiot!

Master, this is all we found.

Do they have the book?

No.

But I know where it is.

Ill go get it and give it to you. I swear.

Im placing my trust in you.

If you give me the book,

your life will go on

as if nothing ever happened.

However, if you fail,

Im afraid lll have to find somebody else

to get my book for me.

Go. Go on.

Run along.

Go.

Mulgarath! Mulgarath! Mulgarath!

You failed me, Redcap!

There are two human boys

with the same faces.

The Jared and the not Jared.

We took the wrong one.

Then find the Jared,

get the book and kill them!

Kill them all!

Move out!

Stupid!

Stupid!

Those things were gonna kill me

over your stupid, stupid book!

-Theyre right over there.

-I cant take this.

Lets just get to the house

and give it to them.

Hey, its not at the house.

Its right here in my backpack.

-What? Then lets just give it to them.

-No, theyll just kill us anyway!

Well, lets just...

-Give it!

-Stop!

Give it!

Book!

-Get them! Go! Go! Go!

-Come on!

After them!

Get them! Get them! Rip them apart!

But not the book! Dont hurt the book!

Jared! Jared! Over here!

Help me! Help me!

Come on!

-Calm down!

-Keep them away! Keep them away!

-Calm down!

-Keep them away! Keep them away!

Its okay. Theres a protective circle

around the house.

-Were safe inside it.

-There you are.

You know, Mom left me in charge,

so you cant just run off

without telling me.

-Get her.

-Mallory, this way, now!

Now! Now!

-What? Dont yell at me.

-Mal, come on! Come on!

Run to the front door, fast!

Im not running anywhere,

and stop throwing rocks at me!

Listen to him!

Youre surrounded by goblins!

Get inside the protective circle!

Oh, God, Simon,

hes got you in on this now?

For the last time,

theres no such thing as...

Whats happening?

No, Mallory, theyre short.

Aim below your knees. 10 oclock.

Mallory! Mallory! 12 oclock!

Behind you! Behind you! 6 oclock!

Come back! Youre safe. Youre safe.

Youre safe.

Now do you believe me?

Mom!

Its gonna be bad! Its bad!

-Oh, God.

-No, thats bad.

-Mom!

-Jared!

-What were those things?

-I told you, goblins.

Its okay, Simon. Its okay.

No, its not okay! Its not! Its not!

Hes right. What am I saying?

Of course it isnt!

How many of those things

are out there?

I dont know! I dont know! Okay?

Sit tight! Ill be right back!

Jared! God, hes gonna get us all killed!

Ill be right back. Keep pressure on that.

Pressure? What?

Jared?

Why are they doing this?

What do they want from us?

The book.

Oh, God!

Theyre coming from everywhere!

I know, I can see.

This cant be happening.

This cant be happening.

Where did you get that book?

So, the book was in here

with a big warning that said,

Do not read, and you read it?

Its a book. I didnt think reading it

would unleash goblin fury, okay?

But thats the thing,

you never think of anything!

-Youre always doing this!

-Yeah, right.

You dont think, you just do!

Maybe I could think if youd stop talking.

You do stuff and we pay for it.

Hey, if youre so smart,

what do you think we should do with it?

If freaky goblins want this book,

I say we give it to them!

No!

Back off! The book stays here!

-Right here! Here, here, here!

-No! Mallory, no! No!

What is that hideous thing?

Havent I made myself that clear?

Touch it and youll pay!

-Stop it! Chill! Chill!

-Touch it and lll bite your fingers off!

Get me some honey from the kitchen.

-What?

-Just do it!

Come on, try it! Try it!

I invite you to try it!

-Go!

-Youll be fingerless, you...

You, get away!

-You ruined everything!

-Okay, protect the book.

Okay, I promise.

-Mallory!

-lm coming!

-Okay, honeys coming, honeys coming.

-ldiots!

-I dont need your stinking honey!

-Here, drink, drink.

-lts okay. Its okay.

-lts okay?

There is so much about this

thats not okay.

I dont even know where to start.

Why can I see him

without that stone thing?

Because hes letting you see.

Thimbletack, what happens

if goblins get the book?

You die, I die, we all die. Bye-bye.

-What does he mean, we all die?

-I think he means we all die.

He cant know the secrets. He cant!

The ogre is not to be trusted.

Hes right. We cant give it to Mulgarath.

Hell just kill us anyway.

I heard him say so.

Then lets just burn it.

No!

No!

Give it! Give the book!

Give it!

Sorry, master! Forgive us!

Give the book!

Okay, okay, okay, wait!

You win. You are strong,

smart human boy.

So dont be foolish. Give us the book.

Well leave you alone.

I dont believe you!

No!

Now youve done it! Now you will pay!

Book!

Book, book, book.

Book, book, book, book, book.

-lts cold.

-You cant stay in the circle forever.

And when you leave, here we will be.

Let me guess,

the books got a charm on it.

Lest there fall any more harm on it.

Great.

-Theyre not leaving.

-I know.

-Theyre never leaving!

-I heard you.

-Why does he want that book so bad?

-I dont know.

Well, figure it out!

All I know is Mulgarath

cant break the circle without this book,

so were safe as long as

we stay in the house.

Until when?

We stay here long enough,

were gonna end up like her!

Wait a minute.

-She can help us.

-Aunt Lucinda? Are you kidding?

We dont even know her

or where she is!

I think I do.

Shes at the Woodhaven Sanatorium.

But how do you get to her?

-There, all safe.

-Good. Now go. Make haste.

Okay, I think I have this figured out.

Some sort of secret tunnel system,

goes all the way to town.

About a mile, that way.

The first ladder you find, go up,

and the sanatoriums here.

Thanks.

You ready?

Oh, yeah. Now lm ready.

-All right. Lets go.

-Mallory?

I already told you, Simon, you cant go.

Not with that leg, youll slow us down.

I know, but I found this.

Itll make it easier for you to see.

Okay, Simon?

Go!

Go!

-Hey, are you there?

-Show yourselves!

Yeah, right here, on the porch!

Come to me on the porch!

Yeah, yeah, good.

Right here, over here.

Yeah, are you hungry?

-Right here on the porch.

-Come on. Hurry up. Get in.

Go! Go! Go!

Theyre coming! Open the door!

Jared, hurry!

-Come on!

-Get in, get in!

Lets go! Go, go, go!

Wait, wait, wait.

This way, this way, this way.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Dig! Dig!

Go!

Go!

Goblin defenses.

Tomato sauce burns the skin like acid.

Vinegar fumes asphyxiates.

Salt, blinding effect.

Are there more?

What does the book say?

-Step away from the book!

-Okay, okay, you open it.

Where is it?

Where did he put it? Where?

Oh, there.

Oh, no. Jared.

-What did you do with it? Liars! Liars!

-No, it wasnt me.

All of you, liars! Wheres the book?

-You brought the book?

-We need to show it to Lucinda.

-Which way goes into town?

-Right.

Get the troll.

Now left. Go left!

-lts a mole troll.

-What?

Run!

This way!

Go, go, go!

Jared!

Jared!

Jared, come on!

Are you okay?

Oh, man, did I hit somebody?

Yes. Thank you!

Then you hit F1, tab, tab.

Then shift-return to get the total.

I know, its a lot to remember,
