M Max
Small is good. My powers are able to slip right through the cracks.
Judith
But what if the cracks are closed up?
M Max
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?
M Max
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.
Alexander
He has a double re-cracker.
Ira
He does sound powerful.
Carol
Max, what’s wrong with the fort? I thought you said it’d be automatic.
Carol
I thought you said if anybody got in here we didn’t want, the fort would automatically cut their brains out.
K KW
[The Wild Things are shocked and offended that Carol would say this in front of Bob and Terry.]
Carol...
M Max
Oh, well... I thought that then, but... I kinda decided that if we know them, they should keep their brains. Even if we don’t know them that well.
K KW
[to Carol]
I think you should apologise to Bob and Terry.
Carol
I don’t apologise to owls. Owls are stupid.
Ira
Carol, that’s hateful.
Carol
Why did you bring them here? Huh? This place was supposed to be for us. They are not sleeping in our pile. [leaves]
Carol
I can't even look at it.
Douglas
What is it?
Carol
The fort. We gotta tear the fort down.
Douglas
What?
Carol
It wasn't supposed to be like this!
Douglas
No, Carol.
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.
Douglas
The sun?
Carol
Look at it. It didn't come up! It's dead.
Judith
What?
Alexander
It's dark.
Ira
Oh, my God!
Judith
Dead?
Carol
It's dead! It's dead.
M Max
You're scaring everybody.
Carol
It's morning.
M Max
The sun's not dead. It's just nighttime.
Carol
How do you know? I can't trust what you say. Everything keeps changing. Alright, come on, Douglas. We're ripping it down.
M Max
Carol, we're NOT rippin' the fort down!
Carol
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.
M Max
No! We all live here, not just you. It's everybody's. It's Judith and Ira and everybody.
Judith
Oh, finally!?
Carol
You were supposed to keep us safe. You were supposed to take care of us, and you didn't.
Douglas
Carol?
Carol
That's not (quite) good enough.
Douglas
Carol?
Carol
You're a terrible King!
Douglas
CAROL?!
Carol
What?!
Douglas
He's not our King.
Carol
What? Don't say that. How could you say that? Don't you dare say that.
Douglas
There's no such thing as a king.
Carol
Don't you say that!
Douglas
He's just a boy pretending to be a wolf pretending to be a king.
Carol
That's not true.
Ira
He's just like us.
Judith
Oh. Why don't I listen to myself?
Carol
No! No! That's not true!
Douglas
Look, I just went along with it because I knew you wanted it so much.
Carol
DON'T SAY THAT!
Judith
Carol!
M Max
Don't Carol, stop it!
Douglas
Ow!
Alexander
Oh no!
M Max
Stop it! What are you doing!?
Douglas
Carol!
Carol
What?!
Douglas
That was my favourite arm!
Carol
Well, I was just holding onto it, you pulled away.
Douglas
What?
Carol
You lied?
M Max
YOU'RE OUT OF CONTROL!
Carol
I not out of control! You were supposed to take care of us. You promised. I'LL EAT YOU UP!!!!!
Ira
Go! Go!
