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.
Hold it. P-P-P-Pennywise the Clown?
Richie 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... 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!
[It/Pennywise spots the children, growls and climbs up to a lamppost to scare them]
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!
[grabs the book and throws it]
NO!
Don't let it get to you, man.
...Yes. Okay. If that's what you want... Yes.
Yes, that's what I wanted, you t-turkey.
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?
B-Bev's right, we gotta do something.
They don't see what we see.
When you grow up, you stop believing.
Richie They'd just laugh their heads off and put us in a nuthatch.
We've gotta do something.
[after a long pause]
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]
[reading a paper]
He th-th-thrusts hi-his fists...
[takes the paper]
"He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts." That's all it says, over and over.
[stuttering heavily]
My m-m-m-om g-gave me that to to to... sttttt! to help with my st-st-st-stutter!
Richie No offense pal, it ain't workin'.
[Bill looks at him, and Richie blows him a kiss]
Richie What are you saying, Eddie? You're still a virgin?
Richie Well I can't help you there, pal.
Richie I just flew in from L.A., and boy is my tail-section tired... We're hot tonight, it's great to be back here in Derry, breathing in that old Derry Air. Eddie, get all of their names, I want to put them on my Christmas mailer, no, Denbrough there, let's put him on my Norman Mailer. [puts Eddie in a head-lock] I love this guy, he's like the brother I never had. [turns Eddie face-up] Wait a minute! He IS the brother I never had!
Beep beep, Richie. [on the telephone] Hello, Stan? ..Is this the Uris residence? I'm trying to get hold of Stan Uris-- [pause] Oh... Thank you. Thank you, very much. [hangs up] Stan is dead. He cut his wrists in the bathtub right after I phoned him.
Swear to me. Swear to me that if it isn't dead, we'll all come back.
Richie I 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.
Richie That creep was going to kill Stan.
He was going to kill us all.
I remember when they pulled him out, his hair had turned white...
He was babbling about a bright light...
Except when he said that he murdered all the kids.
Richie I hope that someone remembered to bring something useful, like a machine gun.
[holding up slingshot]
I brought this. It's the only thing I saved from those days.
I remember you were a dead shot, Bev.
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.
Richie 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.
Beep beep, Richie. Who's left? Ben? Bev?
Richie Yeah, and one of them better be good, Bill, because right now, you're in the lead with a pathetic three out of 10.
Richie, will you PLEASE shut up?!
Richie You know, you don't stutter all the time?
Richie Yeah.
Richie So, you, Haystack, what are you building? A dam or something?
Richie Have you ever built one before?
Richie How do you know it will work?
Well, of course it would. Why wouldn't it?
Richie Yeah, but how do you know?
Richie Well, okay.
Richie Don't talk. You're gonna be fine, Spaghetti-Man.
Richie, please. For the last time, don't call me that. You know how I... [dies]
