"No." "You're looking for whales to harpoon, right ?" " You must be Harry's father." " That's right." "That explains his interest in monster movies." "You should have seen me before I shaved." "Have you seen 'Jungle Jim' lately ?" "Duke ?" "No." "I haven't seen him since Friday." " Damn it." " What's the matter ?" "What's the matter ?" "Everybody in the entire building is just disappearing... that's all, one by one." "Well, it is the weekend." "Do you know what day it was when they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima ?" " It was on a weekend, right ?" " I don't know." "But it would be interesting to find out, wouldn't it ?" "Who was that ?" "The Wicked Witch of the West." "Honey, ha...have we unpacked the encyclopedia yet ?" "Second shelf." "Harry, what are you doing ?" " Waiting for Wendy." " Why ?" "Because it's my job to watch her." "Don't you think your'e carrying the big brother bit a little too far ?" "Dad, she's worse than a pod person." "She's a monster." "She may look like Wendy... she may act like Wendy... she may even dress like Wendy, but she...she's something else." "Honey... did you do a lot of drugs before we met ?"

"Harry, you're not eating your dinner." "I am." "I love family life." "Honey" " Harry, can you get me some coffee ?" "If you'd just take your eye off your sister for a second." "Sure, Dad." "Just bring the pot over here." "Oh, my God." "Ice." " Are you okay ?" " Yeah." "What happened, Harry ?" "You know." "How does she know when I don't even know ?" " Let me see your arm." " I'm fine, Mom." " Where does it hurt ?" " She does know, Dad." "Believe me, she does." "[ Troll Snarling ]" "[ Door Closes ]" "[ Various Troll Sounds ]" "[ Growling ]" "[ Growling ] :" "Eunice."

"It had a beaky nose, long nasty nails." "She looked just like that, didn't she ?" "Yeah." "How did you know ?" "That, Harry, my boy, is a troll." "Or, more specifically, Torok the troll." "What's a troll ?" "Oh...ah..." "A fairy of sorts." "Mean and very strong." " Look at that." " Isn't that you ?" " Yes, it's me." " And THAT was Torok." " Ah, wasn't Torok" " Can the chatter and listen up !" "There." "Now, before there were countries... before there were presidents, there was just the world." "One big place." "And in this place, there were fairies, and there were humans." "Now, the leaders of both kingdoms decided... that no one side would rule the other." "That the kingdoms would be equally divided between the two of them." "But that didn't set well with Torok and some of the fairies." "They wanted to control the world, so there was a great big war." "But the good humans won... and the rebel fairies were condemned to darkness." "And Torok was turned into a troll." "[ Galwin ] :" "Yes !" " For all eternity." "But now, he has vowed his revenge." "He still wants to rule the world with his army, and that's why he's here." "And that's why you're here...to stop him." "That's my job, kiddo." "But what is he doing here ?" "I'm not quite sure." "But I think... that he's going from apartment to apartment." "He's transforming sections of this building... into different fairy worlds." "And when he has succeeded in transforming them all... a single fairy universe will be formed within this building." "It'll be filled with all his old fairy pals." "And when that's done... that universe will burst forth... like a fourth dimension." " What about Wendy ?" " She's alive somewhere." "How can you be sure of that ?" "Well, when Torok wipes out humanity... he will save one token specimen." "A fair-haired maiden... and she will serve as the princess of the fairies." "Listen up, kid." "We're getting right down to the wire here." "Torok has just three days in which to complete his universe." "Or else he misses his cosmic chance." "He's running out of time and apartments." "There are just two pieces of the puzzle left." "My apartment and yours." "Here." "[ Activation Ping ] [ And Then, Trill From Galwain ]" "Plunge this weapon deep into the heart of Torok's universe."
