Where The Wild Things Are Page #2
So delectable... so chewable.
Be still!
- Why?
- Be... because...
- Because...
- Why?
Well, because...
you can't eat me.
You didn't know,
that's why I forgive you.
- But never try it again!
- Why not?
- I... I've powers from another land.
- Powers?
From ancient times.
Don't make me show you.
- I destroyed these Vikings once.
- Vikings?
- What's a Viking?
- Well, they wear horn hats.
And they are big.
Bigger than all of you.
One time they attacked me
in my ice fortress.
They tried to cave in the roof.
But I made it too strong.
I told them to be still,
but they didn't.
I conquered them.
I had to make their heads explode.
And then they realized...
...that I knew
all the secrets of the world.
And then you know what happened?
They made me their king.
- A king?
- You were a king?
I knew there was something
special about him, I've told you, guys.
So wait, you exploded their heads?
Oh, come on! Our heads are bigger.
You can't explode big heads.
bigger than yours, believe me.
- But you're so small.
- Small is good.
My powers are able to slip
right through the cracks.
And what if the cracks are closed up?
Then Ive a re-cracker
which goes right through that.
But what if there's some sort of material
that re-crackers can't get through?
Then I've a double re-cracker...
...which can get through anything
in this whole universe.
And that's end and there's nothing
more powerful after that ever.
Period.
- He has a double re-cracker.
- He does sound powerful.
Yeah! Yeah! But there has
to be some material somewhere.
I mean, maybe really
deep underground that...
Quiet!
- something...
- Be quiet!
I'm sorry, so...
You were their king...
...and you made everything right?
Yeah.
Well, you know,
what about loneliness?
What he's saying is,
will you keep out all the sadness?
I have a sadness shield,
it keeps out all the sadness.
It's big enough for all of us.
And I do this to loneliness.
I knew it! I knew it!
When he showed up,
I saw it.
Why don't guys ever listen to me?
You're right, Carol.
I didn't see it.
I don't understand.
He doesn't look like a king.
If he could be king,
I could be king.
Were you the King
where you came from?
Yeah. Yeah, for twenty years.
- That's impressive!
- That's incredible, right?
Looks like we found our king.
- You're a king, right?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
- Oh, I'm so relieved.
- Sorry, we were gonna eat you.
We didn't know you were a king.
- That was insane!
- Yeah! Yeah, I mean...
Oh, my god, it's KW!
- What?
- What?
Oh, hi, KW!
KW, good to see you.
I thought you were with your new
best friends, Bob and Terry.
What are you guys doing?
- Who is that?
- KW, get in here, you gotta hear this.
- We finally got a king.
- That's true.
- A very impressive one.
- Yeah, KW, we got a king.
You and me could go for a walk
and I'll tell you about it, anytime.
You can carry me like a little baby.
Yeah, anyway I don't know
if I'm sticking around.
I just came back to...
...to get that one stick I left here.
Anyone see it?
I'll help find it, KW.
I'm good at finding sticks.
KW, he's very powerful.
- Stop, stop, don't push her.
She'll figure it out for herself.
Just leave her be, okay?
King.
King, this way your Majesty, please.
Look. He's gonna make us happy, Judy.
Yeah.
But happiness isn't always
the best way to be happy.
- Judith, stop.
- He's small for a king.
- Am I nuts? He's small.
- Yeah, that's what I said.
- Alexander!
- Sorry!
I like it better
when we have a king.
I like Carol better
when we have a king.
Hey, what happened to our houses?
They fell down.
Are those... other kings?
They were here before we got here.
I never saw them.
I've never even... noticed them.
You okay?
Yeah.
You are now the king.
And you'll be a truly great king.
Oh, look at...
Looks good on him. Look!
- He looks great. Our king!
- He looks perfect!
- He looks perfect!
- We have a king.
First king!
First king!
King! King! King!
Hey King!
What's your first order of business?
Let the wild rumpus start!
Perfect answer!
Come on!
Come on, King.
Come on, KW,
believe me.
Guys, follow me.
What?
You're funny looking.
That's all.
Hey, king, king, king!
Watch this!
Hey, jumping guy!
Jumping guy!
Hey, mister!
Wait up!
Hey, jumping guy! Hey!
Hey, king, watch this!
Alright, tree, let's settle this later.
friends with the new guy.
Well, this is our family.
I hope you can see how excited
they're to have a king.
Sometimes they have an odd way
of showing it, I mean...
They act weird, you know?
And...
It hurt other people's feelings.
Ira, my love? Come here.
- What?
Oh, that's just Judith and Ira,
they are in love.
What are you thinking?
Watch me! Look!
That's Alexander.
Look, I hate this tree.
Oh, he just wants attention.
Don't give him the satisfaction.
Seventy seven!
Seventy eight!
No, wait.
No, no, that was...
That's Douglas.
I count on him for everything.
If I was stranded on a desert island
and I could only take one thing..
...it would be Douglas.
- We can share him if you want?
- Yeah, he's good.
I might need one of those.
Douglas, no!
No, no, Stop!
That's not the way I want you to do it.
Here, I'll show you.
How did that happen?
It's an accident.
I don't know how that happened.
We haven't formally met.
I'm Ira.
I put the holes in the trees,
maybe you saw those?
Or maybe not.
Anyways... it's what I do.
They aren't really important like...
...things you do.
Oh, and this is Judith.
You don't really need to know me.
I'm kind of a downer.
King, that's not true.
Hey, let me see your face.
You can introduce me
to the king if you want...
Here, let me see your face.
Oh, what's that?
Don't worry, let me see it.
Good shot, Douglas.
You almost got me!
Almost got me!
We'll get him next time, won't we?
Yes, we will.
Hey, what are you doing?
Is she the one you're mad at
when you're smashing stuff?
Yeah.
No, no! No...
I thought she said,
she wasn't gonna come back.
- Well, looks like she's back now.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I hope so.
I'm gonna get her!
Don't, don't, she doesn't like
that kind of thing.
Come back!
Come back, here!
Ira, my dear, come here.
- Hey, king!
- King, I wouldn't recommed that.
Stop it!
Hey, stop it.
Go, pick someone else's nose.
Max, look out!
Gotcha!
Alexander, get over there
and be social.
Let's be like this forever!
This is really me.
He's started things off right,
our king.
- Well, this guy get things done.
- Yeah.
- That was great.
- Yeah, that was.
That was fun!
- We forgot how to have fun.
- That's true, Carol.
- Even I didn't.
- No, no, you didn't, Carol.
KW, your toe's are in my ear.
Good, you're keeping it warm.
- Hey, who's on my face?
- Oh, I'm sorry, Carol.
Let me move.
Oh, I like this.
- Let's be like this forever.
- The king having a problem?
