Scenes with Judith the Wise
4 scenesSmall is good. My powers are able to slip right through the cracks.
Judith But what if the cracks are closed up?
Then I have a re-cracker, which goes right through that.
Judith But what if they have some sort of material that re-crackers can't get through?
Then I have a double re-cracker, which can get through anything in this whole universe. And that's the end, and there's nothing more powerful after that, ever. Period.
He has a double re-cracker.
He does sound powerful.
Judith Psst. Psst. [signals for Max to come over] What were you doing with Carol just now?
Just talking.
Judith Oh, a secret, huh? Let me ask you something. How does it work around here? Are we all the same or are some of us better than others or - ? You like to play favourites, huh, king?
Judith [Ira accidentally hurts Judith]
Ow.
No, I like all you guys equally.
Judith Don't give me that. I can see how it is. The king has favourites. That's really cute.
Judith [Ira hurts Judith again]
Ow! Stop! Do you have a favourite colour? Hey, can I be your favourite colour? [laughs]
Judith [Max imitates her laugh] [Judith does it back] [Max does it again, with more effort]
Ahahaha.
Har har har.
Judith [more evilly]
Ahahahaha!
Har har har!
Judith Ahahahahaha!
HAR HAR HAR!
Judith You know what? You can't do that back to me. If we're upset, your job is not to get upset back at us. Our job is to be upset. If I get mad and wanna eat you, then you have to say: "Oh, okay. You can eat me. I love you. Whatever makes you happy, Judith." That's what you're supposed to do!
I can't even look at it.
What is it?
The fort. We gotta tear the fort down.
What?
It wasn't supposed to be like this!
No, Carol.
You said we were all going to sleep together in a real pile, and now you want a secret room. and K.W. is gone for good. And now I have to worry if the sun is gonna die.
The sun?
Look at it. It didn't come up! It's dead.
Judith What?
It's dark.
Oh, my God!
Judith Dead?
Carol. Stop!
It's dead! It's dead.
You're scaring everybody.
It's morning.
The sun's not dead. It's just nighttime.
How do you know? I can't trust what you say. Everything keeps changing. Alright, come on, Douglas. We're ripping it down.
Carol, we're NOT rippin' the fort down!
It was supposed to be a place where only things you wanted to have happen would happen. Come on, Douglas, do what I tell you.
No! We all live here, not just you. It's everybody's. It's Judith and Ira and everybody.
Judith Oh, finally!?
You were supposed to keep us safe. You were supposed to take care of us, and you didn't.
Carol?
I'm sorry!
That's not (quite) good enough.
Carol?
You're a terrible King!
CAROL?!
What?!
He's not our King.
What? Don't say that. How could you say that? Don't you dare say that.
There's no such thing as a king.
Don't you say that!
He's just a boy pretending to be a wolf pretending to be a king.
That's not true.
He's just like us.
Judith Oh. Why don't I listen to myself?
No! No! That's not true!
Look, I just went along with it because I knew you wanted it so much.
DON'T SAY THAT!
Judith Carol!
Don't Carol, stop it!
Ow!
Oh no!
Stop it! What are you doing!?
Carol!
What?!
That was my favourite arm!
Well, I was just holding onto it, you pulled away.
What?
Carol, stop it!
You lied?
YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL!
I not out of control! You were supposed to take care of us. You promised. I'LL EAT YOU UP!!!!!
Go! Go!
The Bull
Hey, Max?
Yeah?
The Bull
When you go home, will you say good things about us?
Yeah, I will.
The Bull
Thanks, Max.
Judith You're the first king we haven't eaten.
Yeah, that's true.
Judith See ya.
Bye, Max.
Bye.
KW
Don't go. I'll eat you up; I love you so.
