two weeks off school.
You're nuts.
(BARKS)
You see?
Even your dog agrees.
Hey, Mom, is it okay
if Jack comes over?
Yes!
Thanks, Mrs. P.
I mean, you get snow
on Christmas.
But you can get snow
on Halloween.
JACK:
How?If you live in Alaska
or there's a blizzard.
(EXHALES) I've got to be cool.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
You ever thought about
having plastic surgery?
No, I've never
thought about it. Why?
(CHUCKLES)
Dude, this is after
plastic surgery!
to look this good.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
Oh my God! Oh my God.
BOTH:
1, 2, 3, 4,Bow, kiss, begin.
Nate.

(INAUDIBLE)
Okay, everybody,
if you can't see the camera,
the camera can't see you.
Now let's improv like
we know what we're doing.
Okay, everybody say, "Stella!"
ALL:
Stella!(CAMERA CLICKS)
So I can't figure you out.
What?
Um, I can't figure you out.
stop talking about themselves.
But you don't talk.
I... I listen.
Me, too.
I know.
Oh. (CHUCKLES)
So you do pay attention.
Okay, that's a start. Uh...
I'm a good listener
so tell me something.
Who are you gonna
audition for?
Um, I'm not really
the Our Town type.
Oh come on. Don't be
the "run lights girl."
Should be Emily.
Look, your family can't cheer
for you in a booth.
Oh, they're pretty busy.
I don't think they would
cheer for me anyway.
Come on,
there's not one person
in your family
My grandmother.
There you go. Bring her.
I can't.
Well, then I'll applaud you.
Why are you being
so nice to me?
Because you're an only child.
We have to stick together.
Think about it. Okay?
And your grandmother's
still cheerin' you on.
GRANDMOTHER:
I know you.And I love you more than
anything in the world.
What about Auggie?
I love your brother.
But he has a lot of angels
looking out for him.
And you have me.
Yeah.
You are everywhere.
And...
...you are my favorite.
You're my favorite,
too, Grams.
Mom, Daisy ruined
my Boba Fett costume!
What? Where have you been?
It's very late.
I'm sorry.
She threw up all over it.
Okay, well,
you'll just have to wear
your costume from last year.
But I told Jack
I was going as Boba Fett,
not Ghostface.
Well, tomorrow is Halloween.
And all the shops are closed.
And my artistic hands are busy
making meatloaf.
So you do the math.
Fine!
Do you need some help, Mom?
What?
Some help.
Oh, uh, yes, thank you.
Er, mince that rosemary,
please.
Where did you say you were?
I, uh...
I went to Coney Island.
How about you stay home
from school tomorrow? Hmm?
It's Halloween. We can
make it a 3-day weekend.
Spend some time together.
Yeah. Yeah,
Yeah?
Okay, good.
Peppers? I don't want peppers.
Peppers give Daddy gas.
(CHUCKLES)
AUGGIE:
I don't care whatJack Will says
about Christmas.
NATE:
Hey, Auggie!AUGGIE:
For me, Halloween isthe best holiday in the world.
It's so awesome,
when I'm wearing the costume!
I usually walk
with my head down
But on Halloween,
I walk with my head up high.
I don't even know
who that was.
He didn't even know
who I was. It's so cool.
Especially because people
don't like to touch me
because they think
I'm contagious.
Oh, yeah, Chewie! Up high!
Boom goes the dynamite!
(KIDS LAUGHING)
It really does look like him.
JULIAN:
I mean, he's alwaysreminded me of, like,
the shrunken head, you know?
AMOS:
Or an orc.JULIAN:
Yeah.If I looked like him,
I'd swear
JACK:
If I looked like him,I think I'd kill myself.
Why do you hang out with him
so much, Jack?
MILES:
Yeah.JACK:
I dunno.Tushman asked me
to be his welcome buddy
and now he just
follows me around everywhere.
JULIAN:
Well, that must stink!That must stink.
(KIDS LAUGHING)
AMOS:
Oh, yeah. Just like him.(CONTINUES LAUGHING)
(GROWLS)
(LAUGHING)
Nobody puts Baby
in the corner.
Always blows my mind
Patrick Swayze in this movie.
Ew!
(CHUCKLING)
Ew, no!
Honey, tell me
what's going on with Miranda?
It's not just the pink hair.
She's just...
She won't even talk to me.
I had a friend in high school.
We went through
this exact same thing.
And what I did, which fixed it
almost immediately...
Was, um, to eat an entire
jack-o'-lantern
bucket of candy.
(CHUCKLES)
(PHONE RINGING)
Mmm. Hello.
Yes, Mr. Tushman.
He's nauseous?
Does he have a fever?
What did the nurse say?
All right. Okay. Thank you.
I will be right there.
Honey, I have to go,
at school.
(TV TURNS OFF)
(CLATTERING)
(SOBBING SOFTLY)
ISABEL:
Nate, do you knowwhere his helmet is?
He's asking for it
and I've looked everywhere.
I don't know.
Something at school.
And now he says
he doesn't even
wanna go trick-or-treating.
I know. Okay. Thank you.
Just get here.
VIA:
Come on, get ready.It's almost time
for the Halloween parade.
You're supposed to knock!
(KNOCKS ON TABLE)
Go away!
Mom says you won't say
what happened.
Did someone say something?
Someone always says something!
Well tell me what happened.
It's none of your business!
You took my day with Mom,
so it is my business.
I heard Jack Will talking
about me behind my back.
He said he'd kill himself
if he looked like me.
Jack Will?
Isn't he the nice one?
There are no nice ones!
I wish I'd never gone
But you were liking school.
I know you were.
I hate it, okay? I hate it.
Auggie, I'm sorry,
but you're not the only one
who has bad days.
Bad days?
When a person
accidentally touches you,
do they call it "the plague"?
No.
So just don't compare
your bad days
at school to mine, okay?
Okay.
Did you notice that Miranda
doesn't come around any more?
What?
You didn't. Shocker.
Yeah she went away
to camp this summer
and now
she doesn't like me anymore.
Why?
Because school sucks.
And people change.
So if you wanna be
a normal kid, Auggie,
then those are the rules.
So let's go trick-or-treating.
Okay?
Because right now
we're each other's
best friends.
Really?
Yes.
So come on.
I'll let you have
all my Halloween candy.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
AUGGIE:
I'll trade youmy apples.
VIA:
Okay, no.I know that I said that
you could have all my candy,
but I was really
just saying that
to get you out of the house.
AUGGIE:
What aboutthe chocolate?
VIA:
No.And the Smarties?
Gummis, licorice,
the Reese's, the Hersheys.
No!
And everything else.
All right, I'll let you have
