P Mr. Poe
I'm sorry, Count Olaf. Allowing a child of Sunny's age to drive a car is simply not good parenting.
P Mr. Poe
Let us not exaggerate, Klaus. The vehicle was not even in gear.
[to Mr. Poe]
May I have a moment alone with the children?
[Mr. Poe nods head in agreement]
Goodbye, kids. It's been fun (leans farther into car window, whispers) I'm going to get you. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I'll find you. (light menacing laugh) You are so deceased. (turns from car, puts eye drops in eye, turns to Mr. Poe) Take them, Mr. Poe... before I lose it, big time.(quivers bottom lip)
P Mr. Poe
Children, I'm afraid I must inform you of an extremly unfortunate event. I'm very, very sorry to tell you this but your parents have just perished in a fire that destroyed your entire home.
"If you have already lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels. If you haven't? You can't possible imagine."
Ah! My dear...(looks at stick figures of the children with names on his hands) Violet. Au' chan terr?
And this must be Klaus. (grabs Klaus' face, and looks at each side of it) Young Klaus. Your left side is the good one. (begins to mess with Klaus' bottom lip, then notices Sunny) And, uh...what is this?
I'm sorry. I don't speak... *monkey*! (Mimicing a baby) Banana?
(baby talk)
I'm *not* a monkey!
You're not getting a cent until Violet turns 18.
P Mr. Poe
[Fog horn blows]
Children, is that you?
(interrupting)
Drowning. (sticks Klaus' head in water, brings it back up then turns toward water) Back to the depths, you fingery devils! (turns to Klaus) You will not devour this boy's head today. (hugs Klaus close to him)
P Mr. Poe
Count Olaf, what are you doing here?
Mr. Poe, please. Count Olaf, what are you doing here, man?
I know, I know. I shouldn't have come. But when I heard the children were in danger, I had to. Even if I'm not...(turns away, makes downcast face)...fit to be their guardian.
P Mr. Poe
It appears I was wrong about you, Count Olaf
P Mr. Poe
For being a greedy monster!
I'm the monster? No. You're the monster. These children tried to tell you but you didn't listen to them, no one ever listens to children. This document says that I have the fortune now AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!
P Mr. Poe
Count Olaf? What are you doing here?
Please, Mr. Poe. (to Olaf) Count Olaf, what are you doing here, man?
