Johnny

It's funny being inside, innit? 'Cause when you are inside, you're still actually outside, aren't ya? And then you can say, when you're outside, you're inside, because you're always inside your head.

Johnny

Do you think you can recapture your youth by ****in' it? You don't want to **** me, you'll catch something cruel.

Sirius Black

I found him!

Lupin

I know.

Sirius Black

He's here!

Lupin

I understand.

Sirius Black

Let's kill him!

Hermione

No! I trusted you. And all this time, you've been his friend. He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes.

Lupin

How long have you known?

Hermione

Since Professor Snape set the essay.

Lupin

Well, well, Hermione, you really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met.

Sirius Black

Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him!

Lupin

Wait!

Sirius Black

I DID MY WAITING!! TWELVE YEARS OF IT! IN AZKABAN!!!

Lupin
[Hands him his wand]

Very well. Kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why.

Harry

I know why. You betrayed my parents. You're the reason they're dead!

Lupin

No, Harry. Someone did betray your parents but it was somebody who, until quite recently, "I believed to be dead."

Harry

Who was it then?

Sirius

Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room, right now!

Harry

Tell me about Peter Pettigrew!

Lupin

He was at school with us. We thought he was our friend.

Harry

No. Pettigrew's dead. [Points the wand at Sirius] You killed him!

Lupin
[Stands in front of Sirius]

No he didn't! I thought so, too, until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew's name on the map.

Harry

The map was lying, then.

Sirius

The map never lies. Pettigrew's alive. And he's right there! [Points at Ron]

Ron

Me?! He's mental!

Sirius

Not you! Your rat!

Ron

Scabbers has been in our family for--

Sirius

Twelve years! Curiously long life for a common garden rat!? He's missing a toe, isn't he?

Ron

So what?

Harry

All they could find of Pettigrew was his--

Sirius

Finger! The dirty coward cut it off so that everyone would think he was dead! And then he transformed into a rat!

Harry

Show me. [Sirius attempt take Scabbers from Ron] Give it to him, Ron.

Ron

No! What are you trying to do to him? [Sirius takes Scabbers] Scabbers! Leave him alone!
[Sirius and Lupin just barely manage to make the rat transform into Peter Pettigrew]

Harry

Ron, the dog, where is it?

Ron

Harry, he's the dog! He's an animagus!

Hermione
[Sirius appears behind a door]

If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us, too!

Sirius Black

No. Only one will die tonight.

Harry

Then it'll be you!

Sirius Black
[Harry wrestles Black onto the floor and holds him at wandpoint] [Laughing]

Are you going to kill me, Harry?

Lupin

Expelliarmus! [Harry's wand flies out of his hand and he goes over to Ron and Hermione] Well, well, Sirius. Looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.

Sirius Black

Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus?
[Lupin helps Sirius up off the floor]

Mr. Grasshopper

I'm a vegetarian.

Earthworm

I eat dirt.

Miss Spider

No one will be eating you, James.

Mr. Centipede

Naw, she'll just puncture your head and suck out the brains!

Miss Spider

That I am saving for you.

Mr. Centipede

Whoa! Pretty fast, long legs. Oh-oo-oo!

Earthworm
[In the darkness] [Centipede pinches him]

Ow! Somebody pinched me!

Mr. Centipede

Sorry. Thought you were the Spider.

Mr. Grasshopper
[Spider hits him]

Ouch! What was that?!

Miss Spider

Excuse, I thought you were the Centipede.

Aunt Sponge

Hello... little... angel!

Aunt Spiker

So kind of you to look after our little lost lamb.

Cop

Who are you?

Aunt Spiker

We are the boy's legal guardians.

Aunt Sponge

We've missed him so much.

Aunt Spiker

So we'll be taking him home now.

Aunt Sponge

And the peach, of course. We're taking that as well.

Cop

Well, wait a minute. Back up. You mean to tell me that this thing is a peach?

Aunt Spiker

It's not a peach. It's our peach.

Aunt Sponge

Our peach.

Aunt Spiker

Show him, Spongy.

Aunt Sponge

Yes. [shows the cop a picture of her and Spiker with the giant peach]

Cop

Looks like it's their peach all right.

Aunt Spiker

Yes! Yes. And we're very proud of it.

Aunt Sponge

We're going to be in the record book.

James

It's not their peach. The old man gave the green things to me. That's what made it grow.

Aunt Sponge
[Shocked and angry with what James had just said]

How dare you disagree with us!

Aunt Spiker
[Places her hand on Sponge's shoulder, holding Sponge back]

Patience, sister. Remember his... condition.

Cop

His condition?

Aunt Sponge

He's a chronic liar.

Aunt Spiker

Sad, really. He needs his treatment.

Aunt Sponge

Well, that's why we're here; to bring him home. So, you come here with us. Hey, Lovey!

James
[Sponge and Spiker maliciously try to get to James but he climbs up to the truck to get away.]

I'm not the one who's lying. They are!

Aunt Spiker

As you can see, Officer, it is urgent that you release him to us immediately.

Old Man

LET THE BOY SPEAK!

Cop
[The crowd utters in agreement.]

Alright, alright, alright! Let's get to the bottom of this! This thing is a peach. Now, all right. I'll buy that. Now, does someone wanna tell me how it got here?

James

We attached it to a hundred seagulls.

Aunt Spiker

Seagulls? [laughs with the crowd]

James

That's what happened! Me and Miss Spider and the Centipede and the Old Green Grasshopper.

Aunt Sponge
[laughs with the crowd]

I think he's gone mad.

Aunt Spiker

This is all something he dreamed up.

James

Well, maybe it started that way, as a dream, but didn't everything? Those buildings, these lights, this whole city! Somebody had to dream about it first, and maybe that's what I did. I dreamed about coming here, but then I did it!

Aunt Spiker

The poor boy needs his medicine. Yes. So, we'll just take him...

Aunt Sponge

And the peach.

Aunt Spiker

Back to our cozy little house on the hill. Come along. You're going home with us.

James
[firmly]

No, I'm not.

Aunt Spiker
[Aunt Spiker tilts her head back in a disturbing way and her smile melts into a scowl] [through clenched teeth]

What did you say?

James

I said: [enunciating] NO... I'M... NOT!! I hate that house, and that cold room, and how I was always hungry.

Aunt Spiker

All right! That's enough!

James

And how you beat me!

Aunt Sponge
[the crowd gasps]

He's lying!

Woman

They beat him up?!

Boy

They beat him?!

James

And told me I was nothing!

Aunt Sponge

Shut up!

Aunt Spiker

Shut up!

Aunt Sponge

Shut up!

James

NO! Not this time! I flew the peach across the ocean. I landed on top of the tallest building in the world. [turns to Spiker and Sponge] I MADE IT! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S NOTHING, YOU ARE! AND I'M NEVER GOING BACK WITH YOU! NOT ME AND NOT THE PEACH!!!!

Aunt Spiker
[enraged]

HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO US THIS WAY!!

Mr. Grasshopper
[Sponge and Spiker grab fire axes and take swings at James. The officer repeatedly blows his whistle to keep the crowd under control]

James, up here!

Glowworm

Hello, we are here! [A green light shines down from above.]

Mr. Centipede

Hey, buddy!

Aunt Sponge

What are they?

Glowworm

Young James!

Mr. Centipede

Hey, Jimmy!

Aunt Spiker

Bugs!

Mr. Centipede

Need a little help down there?

Aunt Sponge

Giant bugs! [she and Spiker scream]

Mr. Centipede

Hey, you old biddies! [blows raspberry]

Aunt Sponge

Help! Help us! [but the crowd ignores them as they are too busy watching the sudden appearance of James' bug friends]

Mrs. Ladybug

Whoo-ee! Here we are, dear!

Earthworm

Hello, James!

James

I told you they were real!

Mr. Grasshopper

Hello, old boy!

Miss Spider

Requesting clearance to land!

Michael Stone

Sometimes there's no lesson. That's a lesson in itself.

Michael Stone

I think there's something very very wrong with me...

Michael Stone

I think you're extraordinary.

Lisa Hesselman

Why?

Michael Stone

I don't know yet. It's just obvious to me that you are.

Edward Douglas
[opening lines]

Our plane crashed in the endless southern Pacific, and we drifted for days between life and death. On the sixth or seventh day, the two men who had survived with me began to fight over the last canteen of water. They fought like beasts, not men. I fought for my life, just as savagely as they did.

Edward Douglas
[narrating]

I saw very little of Moreau as the crisis broke. He was in the laboratory, working away in pursuit of his dream to create a perfect human race. Nothing was said of my attempted escape. Montgomery, who had once been a brilliant neurosurgeon, was reduced to being the beast-people's jailor - and now he had become mine too.

Edward Douglas

Are you a doctor?

Montgomery

Well, I'm more of a vet.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

You will help me destroy them, Diana. Or you will die.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

You were right, Diana, they don't deserve our help. They only deserve destruction.

Sir Patrick Morgan / Ares

I am not your enemy, Diana. I am the only one who truly knows you, and who truly knows them, as you now do. They have always been and will always be weak, cruel, selfish and capable of the greatest horrors. All I ever wanted was for the gods to see how evil my father's creation was. But they refused. So I destroyed them.

Robert Thorn

Very sorry. Send me the bill. I'll take care of it.

Keith Jennings

That's all right, Mr. Ambassador. Let's just say that you owe me one.

Kara

In your kingdom, Einon, there are worse fates than death.

Einon

I'll think one up for you.

Einon

Lay down, Bowen! You're the sad remains of dead systems and dead beliefs!

Bowen

They were your beliefs!

Einon

Never! Never mine!

Bowen
[heartbroken]

But... you spoke the words...you spoke them from your heart!

Einon

I vomited them up because I couldn't stomach them! Because I knew it was what you wanted to hear!

Bowen

Lies! Liar! I taught you!

Einon

You taught me to fight, that's all! I took what I needed from you. You taught me to fight! [stabs Bowen in the shoulder, disarming him] You taught me well.

Einon

Times have not been kind to you, Bowen. You should have never broke with me.

Bowen

It was you who broke with me!

Einon

And yet, you returned to me with this girl I lost.

Bowen
(Kara shakes her head and raises her dagger)

I think she wants to stay lost.

Einon

Not her decision, I'm afraid! [draws his sword] I'm ready for my lesson now, knight!

Doniger

How many lives has been lost on the cutting edge of discovery?

Doniger
[takes Francois' glasses]

Sorry Francois. They didn't have these.

Francois

You know, I don't see too well without them.

Doniger

I'm sure you'll be fine. That's where we goofed up with the professor.

Doniger

Yeah, yeah, look. We need cultural experts, not scientists. My people simply don't know about the medieval world, or how to mingle with the locals, which is what we're gonna have to do, if we're going to find the professor and bring him back.

Marek

So that's it? We just step on that machine and whiz back to 1357?
