Let go. Be afraid! You all taste so much better when you're afraid.
Bill Kill It, Bev!
Kill?! [laughs] Me?! Oh you are priceless, brat! I am eternal, child. I am the eater of worlds, and of children. And you are next!
This is battery acid, you slime!
[Eddie sprays It/Pennywise with his aspirator.]
My dad says there's no way to date this one. He says it's probably from the early or mid-1700s when Derry was a logging town.
Bill Hold it. P-P-P-Pennywise the Clown?
That's him. That's him!
200 years ago? He was here then?
Come on, it's just a drawing!
Now, look; Here he is again. The same man.
It's not a man.
Bill It... IT! [the scrapbook begins flapping] Th-That's what happened back in Georgie's room. [the scrapbook stops at a page and the picture comes to life. The kids see It/Pennywise dancing] Look!
I'll kill you all! [laughs] I'll drive you crazy, and I'll kill you all! I'm every nightmare you've ever had! I'm your worst dream come true! I'M EVERYTHING YOU EVER WERE AFRAID OF!
YES!
Bill Don't let it get to you, man.
You saw it, too.
I didn't want to...
Bill But you did.
...Yes. Okay. If that's what you want... Yes.
Bill Yes, that's what I wanted, you t-turkey.
What are we gonna do?
Do? What do you mean "do"? I just want to forget about it.
It's not just us, it's all the other kids too. Like Velma Daniels, she was in my class. Who's gonna be next?
Bill B-Bev's right, we gotta do something.
We gotta tell somebody.
They don't see what we see.
Why?
Bill When you grow up, you stop believing.
They'd just laugh their heads off and put us in a nuthatch.
It kills kids. Damn it.
We've gotta do something.
Bill Help me. You killed my brother George, you bastard! Let's see you now. Let's see you now. It's scared of us you know? I can feel that. I swear to God I can. I-I wanna kill it. Help me. Please help me. Help!
[the rest of the Losers embrace Bill in their circle]
Bill He th-th-thrusts hi-his fists...
"He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts." That's all it says, over and over.
Bill My m-m-m-om g-gave me that to to to... sttttt! to help with my st-st-st-stutter!
No offense pal, it ain't workin'.
[Bill looks at him, and Richie blows him a kiss]
Take your pick, B-B-B-Billy boy. Oh, except for the one on the end, that's already taken. Sorry.
Bill I remember you, and I remember we beat you. I'm not afraid of you.
[Pennywise snarls and bares his teeth angrily]
Bill Audra, my brother who died...
Audra Yes, George?
Bill He didn't just die. He was m-murdered.
Audra Why didn't you ever...?
Bill Tell you? Because I forgot. Almost like it never happened. I know that this doesn't make any sense, but I have to go.
Audra But why?
Bill Because we made a pr-promise.
Audra Why are you stuttering like that?
Bill I don't know. I used to stutter all the time when I was a kid.
Bill Swear to me. Swear to me that if it isn't dead, we'll all come back.
I swear.
Swear.
I swear it.
I swear.
I swear, too.
Swear.
...If you want to see Henry Bowers, you'll find him up at Juniper Hills.
Ever since the trial where he confessed to all the murders of all the children.
He was down there with us, down there in the sewer.
That creep was going to kill Stan.
He was going to kill us all.
Bill I remember when they pulled him out, his hair had turned white...
He was babbling about a bright light...
...and a clown.
And no one believed him.
Bill Except when he said that he murdered all the kids.
I hope that someone remembered to bring something useful, like a machine gun.
I remember you were a dead shot, Bev.
Couldn't miss.
It was like it was supposed to be, Bev. Remember? You hit the clown, Pennywise, in the head. It broke open.
And underneath it was a light.
Bright lights.
Bill Deadlights.
One out of ten. You're worse than I am, kiddo. At this rate, we might as well let that damn clown take us one by one.
Bill Beep beep, Richie. Who's left? Ben? Bev?
Yeah, and one of them better be good, Bill, because right now, you're in the lead with a pathetic three out of 10.
Bill Richie, will you PLEASE shut up?!
You know, you don't stutter all the time?
Thanks.
Any time.
Who are you guys anyway?
We're sort of a club.
Yeah, the Losers Club.
Yeah.
Bill You w-want in?
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
Bill's our writer.
Bill I just write horror stories.
So, you, Haystack, what are you building? A dam or something?
Yeah.
Have you ever built one before?
No.
How do you know it will work?
Well, of course it would. Why wouldn't it?
Yeah, but how do you know?
I just know.
Bill Yeah, he just knows.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, okay.
