Where The Wild Things Are Page #3
There.
Thanks.
- I'm KW.
- I'm Max.
I know.
Hey, so are you gonna stay?
- Well... it's complicated.
- They all want you to.
I don't even know
how everything got this way.
Things seem better now, though.
Yeah, well, they are.
Okay, King.
Hey, who are Bob and Terry?
They're really good friends of mine.
No, I don't even know how to
describe them, they're just...
...different from everybody here.
It's just different.
- Well, do you like them more than...
- You ask lot of questions.
So what's your story?
Why did you come here?
Well... I'm an explorer,
and I travel a lot.
- And... I travel by sea...
- Right.
I used to travel by air.
So obviously,
you have no home or family?
I have one of those but...
- Did you ate them all?
- No!
No, I just bit one of them,
that's all and...
...they went crazy.
And...
I don't like frozen corn.
I'm sorry.
That's why you left?
They act like I'm a bad person.
- Well, are you?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, I'm glad you came.
It'll be good to have someone around
who doesn't eat everybody.
I mean, you just bite everyone,
the biters aren't so bad.
Eaters are the one's that
I just can't stand.
I have no plans to eat anybody.
Alright... good.
Good night.
Good night, KW.
- Good night.
- Good night, Ira.
- Good night.
- Good night, Douglas.
- Good night, Carol.
- Good night, Judith.
- Good night.
- Good night, Judy.
- Good night, darling.
- Good night.
- Good night, Alex.
- Good night, King.
- Good night.
- Oh, good night, King.
- Hey, good night, King.
Oh, this is nice.
Good night, everybody.
Everybody, sweet dreams.
I didn't want to wake you up.
But I really want to
show you something.
- Okay.
- And on the way...
I can show you your kingdom.
This is all yours.
You are the owner of this world.
Everything you see is yours.
Oh, except...
...that hole over there,
that's Ira's.
I mean, the tree is yours
but the hole is Ira's.
But everything else is yours.
Except that rock over there,
that's not yours.
That little rock next to the big rock.
But everything else in the kingdom,
except for that stick...
...that little stick right there,
that's not yours.
I want you to be king forever, Max.
Yeah... definitely.
This part of your kingdom
is not so good.
Why?
Well, look, this used to be all rock,
and now it's sand...
...and then one day
it's gonna be dust.
And then the whole island
will be dust and...
Then I don't even know
what comes after dust.
Carol?
- Hm-hmm.
Did you know the sun
was gonna die?
What?
I've never heard that.
Oh, come on...
...that can't happen.
You're the king.
And look at me... I'm big.
How could guys like us worry about
a tiny thing like the sun, hm?
Carol, what's that?
- Oh, it's that dog.
Don't feed it,
it'll just follow you around.
Carol, wait up for me!
Hideaway
Well they'll seat us in the sun
By the way
Know you've always been the one
Did you make this?
Yeah. Yeah.
It's very good.
We were gonna make
a whole world like this, but...
Everyone used to come here...
But now..
Do you know what it feels like
when all your teeth are...
...falling out really slowly and...
...you don't realize and
then you notice that...
...well, they're really far apart.
And then one day...
...you don't have any teeth anymore.
- Yeah.
- Well, it was like that.
Alright, put...
put your head right here.
Right here.
Alright, now watch.
I wish I could live in there.
Yeah.
It's gonna be a place where only
the things you want to have happen...
...would happen.
Yeah.
I guess it does not gonna happen,
I'll just...
...probably end up eating my feet off.
Carol, we can totally
build a place like that.
- Really?
- We're gonna start with the perfect fort.
And then we're gonna
build the city around it.
Because, we gotta be realistic,
I mean...
We need to start
with the perfect fort...
...and then we're gonna
build the underground complex,
...that's gonna tie everything together.
I like your brain, Max.
Hey, I'm not gonna
eat off my feet anymore.
- Why?
- Max is gonna build a fortress.
Yeah, it's gonna be as tall as
twelve of you and six of me.
And only we can get in.
We can make an ice cream parlor.
A swimming pool with a bottom
that's a trampoline!
Hey, where were you?
We... we were just here.
And anyone who gets in there,
that we don't want there...
...will get their brains cut out.
- The building will do it automatically.
- How does it know which brains to cut off?
Okay, so there will be a tree,
...but it's a fake tree,
that's a tunnel.
So anyways, it's not a tree.
It's a tunnel.
And it will lead you into the fort
through a compartment.
Ira, do you wanna be
in charge of the tunnels?
- Because you can make great holes.
- Wow! Wow!
- I don't want my brains cut out!
- This fort is already making me happy.
Does anybody ever hear me?
We'll take care for each other,
and we'll all sleep together in a real pile.
What do you think?
I don't think anything like this
ever works, really.
- But if it did...
- Fine.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know anything.
But I do like sleeping in a real pile.
Carol, will you be
You should definitely be in charge, Carol.
- You're the only one who can pull it off.
- Yeah, well, you're right but, uh...
KW, don't you think that
Carol should build it?
Yeah, he's the only one who can.
I'll build it if he doesn't want.
- Wow... you really want to do this?
- Yeah.
- I think it's a perfect idea.
- Well...
Alright, if you want to do it then...
You want me...
I would be honored.
- Judy, you would have been good too.
- Yeah.
We gotta put the doorway up here.
A little more that way.
A little more.
Yeah, right there.
Big fun
No sleep
Faces
Face me
Come on! Save me
Hold on
Grow
All is love,
is love, is love
How about here?
You like it here?
Yeah, one more up there,
one more up there...
...and then we can have
the other mark over there.
Yeah. A little more this way.
Thats five, Carol.
And then seven Douglases across
we'll have the other mark.
- What you've been eating?
- Rocks.
Rocks? What did I tell you
about eating rocks?
- That's six.
- You're getting a little paunch.
I know.
Hey, KW.
- Hey, King.
How about here?
It needs seven Douglas's.
No more and no less.
- Seven chubby Douglases.
- Hey, Carol!
It's gonna be part castle, part fort,
part mountain, and part ship.
We'll have a laboratory,
...so we could build robots
to do stuff for us.
Our private detective agency,
and... and our own language.
And we'll make a machine
that can take our legs off...
...and that way we can float.
Alright, Carol!
You smiled.
You can't deny that
this is a good idea.
I didn't deny it.
I believe part of that idea was mine.
What part?
The part where I said,
'Yeah, good idea. "
I got it!
I got it.
Judith, that tickles.
I like the tunnel, Ira.
