Where The Wild Things Are Page #5

Somebody stepped on your head?

What are you doing?

What?

You stepped on my head!

What do you mean?

It's a war!

Douglas just did it.

Yeah, but he did it by accident.

You did it on purpose!

And he didn't step on

the face part of my head!

It was a joke.

I was just joking.

Sure you were.

Like you aren't always looking for

the opportunity to step on my head.

Because that's what you do.

Fine, fine.

You know what?

This is exactly why I don't ever wanna

do anything with you anymore.

Go ahead.

Step on my head.

No. Forget it. I'm not going

to step on your head...

...just to make you feel better.

Let's go, Douglas.

Carol, I think you did

the right thing...

...you know,

not stepping on her head.

Thanks, Max. But I'm done.

I don't know,

why I came back here.

I'm glad I met you, I guess.

So King. What's going on?

This is how you rule a kingdom?

Everyone fighting?

The bad guys feel bad.

Everyone feels bad.

Yeah. I'm still sorta dizzy

and my eyeballs feel loose.

Oh, can it, Ira?

Everyone's eyeballs feel loose.

No!

Max will bring K.W. back.

He'll keep us all together.

He has powers. He told us.

Right, Max?

Show us.

Oh, somebody broke the king.

I don't get it.

Oh, wait, I do.

It's stupid.

I think he's done now.

That's what we waited for?

Carol?

Hi.

Is that from the dirt clods?

Yeah.

It's from when you had

Douglas hit me.

I'm sorry about that.

It's okay.

No one really listens to you, huh?

Oh, you've noticed.

Yeah. I guess you're not...

...used to that being a king and all.

I really messed this place up.

Youre not really a king, huh?

You're just regular.

I knew it.

I don't even know

if there's such a thing as...

...a king who can do

all the things you said.

Look...

I don't care.

Just don't ever let Carol find out.

Why did you leave us?

Hey, Max.

What's that?

Well, I was thinking

we needed a place...

...where the king is secret.

Like a...

Like a secret chamber for the king.

Well, I don't understand... What...

Well, you know like a...

like a small place.

With a door that's not so big.

I don't know...

I didn't picture it with

a secret doors.

What if it were a big place

with big secret doors?

That... That's not really

how it would be done.

It's more like... it's like a...

About that big?

Everybody, get out here!

Wake up!

Everybody wake up!

And get out here!

- Ira, what is that?

- Everybody wake up!

It's Carol.

I knew this was gonna happen.

It's all wrong.

It wasn't supposed

to be like this.

Judith, what's happening right now?

Judith?

Wake up and come out here.

What is it?

- Get out here!

- What's he talking about?

It's wrong!

I can't even look at it.

- What is it?

- The fort.

- We gotta tear the fort down.

- What?

- It wasn't supposed to be like this!

- No, Carol.

You said we were all going to

sleep together in a real pile,

...and now you want a secret room...

...and K.W. is gone for good.

And now I have to worry

if the sun is gonna die.

- The sun?

- Look at it. It didn't come up!

- It's dead.

- What?

- Oh, my God!

- Dead!

- Carol, stop!

- It's dead! It's dead.

- You're scaring everybody.

- It's morning.

The sun's not dead.

It's just nighttime.

How do you know?

I can't trust what you say.

Everything keeps changing.

Alright, come on, Douglas.

We're ripping it down.

Carol, we're not ripping the fort down!

It was supposed to be a place...

...where only things you wanted

to have happen would happen.

Come on, Douglas,

do what I tell you.

No! We all live here,

not just you.

It's everybody's.

It's Judith and Ira and everybody.

Oh, finally!

You were supposed

to keep us safe.

You were supposed to take

care of us, and you didn't.

- Carol?

- I'm sorry!

- That's not good enough.

- Carol?

You're a terrible King!

- Carol!

- What?

He is not our King.

What?

Don't say that.

How could you say that?

Don't you dare say that.

There's no such thing as a king.

Don't you say that!

He's just a boy...

...pretending to be a wolf

pretending to be a king.

- That's not true!

- He's just like us.

- Why don't I listen to myself?

- No! No!

That's not true!

Look, I just went along with it because

I knew you wanted it so much.

- Don't say that!

- No! Carol, stop it!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

- Carol!

- What?

- That was my favorite arm.

- Well, I was just holding on to it.

- You pulled away.

- What?

- Carol, stop it!

- You lied!

- You're out of control!

- I'm not out of control!

You were supposed to take

care of us. You promised.

I'll eat you up!

Come back here!

Carol!

Max!

Max!

Come on. Come here.

Get in, get inside!

Get in. Crawl inside my mouth.

I'll hide you!

- Hi, Richard.

- Max!

- Where is he?

- I don't know!

- Where is he?

- I don't know!

I can smell him!

I just want to talk to him.

- You're out of control!

- I'm not out of control!

- You were gonna eat him!

- No, no... I want...

I wasn't gonna...

I dont know... I just said it.

Am I as bad as he says I am?

Just go away.

I just wanted us all to be together...

Can you believe him?

He doesn't mean to be that way, K.W.

He's just scared.

Well, he only makes it harder.

And it's hard enough already.

But he loves you.

You're his family.

Yeah.

It's hard being a family.

I can't breathe that well in here.

Can you get me out?

I wish you guys had a mom.

I'm gonna go home.

Carol!

Max.

Well...

Yeah.

Yeah.

So whatever happened with you

and the Vikings?

Well, in the end, I...

...had to leave.

Why?

I'm not a Viking or a king or...

...or anything.

So what are you?

I'm Max.

Well, that's not very much, is it?

Hey, Max?

Yeah?

When you go home will you say

good things about us?

Yeah. Bye, Bull.

Thanks, Max.

You're the first king

we haven't eaten.

Yeah, that's true.

See ya.

Bye, Max.

Bye.

Don't go.

I'll eat you up, I love you so.
