Where The Wild Things Are Page #4
- Oh!
Impressive!
Why, thank you, King.
Great beams, Douglas.
Strong.
Thanks. They're just
the standard beams I always do.
What were you doing
with Carol just now?
Just talking.
Oh, a secret, huh?
Well let me ask you something.
How does it work around here?
Are we all the same,
or are some of us better than others?
You like to play favorites, huh, King?
No. I like all you guys equally.
Don't give me that.
I can see how it is.
The King has a favorites,
that's really cute.
Stop!
Do you have a favorite color?
Hey, can I be your favorite color?
You know what?
You can't do that back to me.
If we're upset, your job is
not to get upset back at us.
Our job is to be upset.
If I get mad and wanna eat you,
then you have to say,
"Oh, okay! You can eat me!
I love you!"
"Whatever makes you happy, Judith. "
That's what you're supposed to do.
Come on, Max.
Let's go get those sticks.
Yeah... okay.
I hope you heard me, King.
Yeah, he heard you, Judith.
Everyone always hears you.
You think you have power, K.W.?
That's not real power.
I'm talking to you!
No! Not you!
I'm still talking to K.W.!
Don't worry about Judith.
She's...
...a downer.
Now you figure it out.
Hey, you should talk to
Bob and Terry about it.
Come on!
King!
Seriously, they're really smart.
They have the answers to everything.
Hold on. Hold on.
I'm coming!
Well, what do you think?
This is Bob and Terry.
They love it, when I do this to them.
Bob, Terry, this is Max...
...he's the biter
I was telling you about.
Say hi.
Hi.
He wanted to ask you guys
some advice.
Go ahead, they're not judgmental.
You mean just ask them?
Yeah.
They say it's better for you...
...if you can ask the question
in seven words.
Okay...
How.
Do.
I. Make.
Everyone.
O. Kay.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't think of that.
Wow, they really get to the heart
of it, don't they?
Aren't they great?
What if they came and
lived with us?
Bob, Terry, why don't you
come live with us?
We're building something great!
Oh, good!
Right, Max?
What about Carol?
He's Carol.
I can like him and still be friends
with Bob and Terry.
Heads up! Heads up!
Heads up!
You hold me up
You hold me down
Not talking about a holiday
Pretend my feet are running away
Well, if my feet don't touch the ground
Hey, Douglas!
Hey, where's Carol?
He's in the fort.
Aft section, main chamber.
Carol! Carol!
The fort looks great!
Yeah, thanks, we were all working
really hard on it.
- Where have you been?
- Well... I...
K.W. took me to see her friends
Bob and Terry.
They really wanna meet you.
They may even stay over.
Oh, this is the famous Bob and Terry?
What? K.W. told you about me?
- Hey, guys.
- What did she say?
Really?
Precious little Bob and Terry
get carried.
Excuse me, my voice?
Oh, thank you!
Well, thank you.
You know, sometimes I...
I know. I know.
I'm a very lucky man.
Hey, do you guys know any jokes?
Who's there?
Loud interrupting cow...
That's hilarious!
They're amazing, K.W.
Max, what's wrong with the fort?
I thought you said
it would be automatic.
What?
I thought you said if anybody
got in here we didn't want,
...the fort would automatically
cut their brains out.
Carol?
Oh, well...
I thought that then, but...
I kinda decided that if we know them,
they should keep their brains.
Even if we don't know them
that well...
to Bob and Terry.
I don't apologize to owls.
Owls are stupid!
Carol, that's hateful.
Why did you bring them here?
This place was supposed to be for us!
They're not sleeping in our pile!
Gee, you're the best king ever.
You've changed everything.
Hey, Carol.
I don't get
why she likes them so much.
And I couldn't even understand
what they were saying...
...all I heard was squeaking.
I couldn't really understand
what they were saying either.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Now everybodys mad at me.
Is there anything you can do to...
You know...
There's something I like to do,
that sometimes makes me feel better.
What is it?
Okay, we're gonna have a war!
And we are gonna completely
clobber each other!
- Clobber each other?
- Yeah, with huge dirt clods.
I used to do it a ton
when I was a little kid.
Yeah, we haven't had a
dirt clod fight in a long time...
Yeah, it's the best way
to have a fun together.
Yeah, life was simpler back then,
with the dirt clods.
- Yeah.
- So who wants to be a bad guy?
Okay. I'll pick one then.
- Okay you're a bad guy.
- Yeah, saw that coming.
And then...
you're definitely a bad guy.
- What? Damn.
- And you can pick one other.
I'm bad... really.
- Okay. We pick you.
- No.
No, I can't be a bad guy.
I'm the king.
I'm a good guy.
I'm a bad guy! I'm a bad guy!
- Okay. You can be a bad guy.
- I'm a bad guy!
- Judy, I'm with you.
- Yeah. I heard.
And you...
- He's with you.
- Am I a good guy?
Yes, of course,
you have the best arm.
Hey, where were you?
I was just making sure,
Bob and Terry still have their brains.
- K.W.!
- They do.
Hey K.W.,
you wanna be on my team?
- We're the bad guys.
- No, no... no, no.
You're with us.
You're a good guy.
Hey, come on.
K.W., be a good guy.
Okay.
So, you're on my team.
You and me and Carol.
Hi, K.W.
So what we are gonna do is
we're gonna try to kill the bad guys...
...by beaning them in the head
with these dirt clods.
We're gonna try to find
the biggest pieces...
You didn't see that coming!
- Run!
- Yeah. You'd better run!
Hey, wait! We didn't make
the official starting noise!
Alright, come on!
Look out for the bad guys!
We got them pinned down!
They can't even move!
- Fire on three!
- Okay!
One, two, three!
You guys are gonna...
Wait, wait... wait, wait!
I have an idea!
Come out!
No!
Why not?
Because you're gonna hit us
in the head with dirt.
Come out!
No!
Why not?
Because when I said you were gonna
hit us in the head with dirt,
...you didn't say anything.
That means you're planning to hit us
in the head with dirt.
Man, they really have us figured out.
Yeah.
Okay! Let's go!
Charge!
Come on!
Ira, help! Get Carol.
Oh, good shot.
I'm gonna get you!
Hey, who threw Richard?
Well, he's on our team now.
- Gotcha!
- No animals!
It really hurts. It's hurting!
- Yeah!
- Hold!
- Hey, Douglas. Get the goat.
- Okay.
- Knock his legs out!
- I got it.
That's cheating.
I'm not gonna play anymore.
- Alexander, come on!
- Do it again.
- Okay.
- Fight with us!
That's... That's not fair.
- Are you crazy?
- You're supposed to get hit, it's a war.
That wasn't fair.
Douglas hit me when I was hurt.
You can't hit someone,
when they're hurt.
- I quit.
- Get back in here right now.
Alex! Count to ten.
- Things will be better.
- Alexander, don't you cry!
If I count to ten then
you'll be gone, Ira?
- Don't you dare talk to Ira the way I do!
- Knock it off!
That's my eye!
Come on!
Look out! Duck!
Yeah!
Oh, Carol, I'm sorry.
What happened?
