"Beware, girly-boy." "NORMAL VOICE:" "No cigar, sonny." "I was always partial to licorice." "(BUZZING)" "I'm sorry, I must have rung the wrong bell." "I was looking for Marsh." " Marsh?" " Yes." "There's no Marsh here." "Unless..." "You don't mean Alvin Marsh?" "Yes, my father." "Oh, Miss..." "I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, a stranger, but your father's been dead this last five years." "But on the bell..." "Oh..." "Kersh." "I thought it said "Marsh."" "I'm Mrs. Kersh." "I knew your father a little." " Come in." "Let me give you tea." " No, I couldn't." "You could and you will." "I insist." "Feel free to look around." "Perhaps you'd like to freshen up?" "(PENNYWISE GROWLS) -(GASPS)" "MRS. KERSH:" "Did you fall asleep in there?" "It's teatime." "Tea." "Tea would be nice." "I love what you've done with the place." "It's so different, so cozy."

"Don't trouble your pretty little head, dear." "I'll get it." "It did say "Marsh" on the doorbell." "If you're wise, you'll run, dear, run." "Because to stay will mean worse than your death." "PENNYWISE'S VOICE:" "They float down there." "They float." "(SCREAMS)" "I worry about you, Bevy." "I worry a lot." "It won't do you any good to run, Bevy." "(SCREAMING)" "You're not real!"

"Greco, I didn't ask you over to insult Bill." " How dare he do this to me." " Come on." "You've been complaining about him ever since we started this picture." "He'll never work in movies again." "I suppose you know that." "If you could have seen his face." "It was frightening." "Nothing like a little crisis to bring the estranged couple closer together, eh?" "Or perhaps pull them farther apart, if the gods are smiling." "Greco, please." "I'm simply pointing out that this could be a blessing in disguise." "Would you consider giving me a few days?" "I shall pretend I didn't hear that, Audra." "I can replace your imbecilic husband." "I cannot replace you." "(THUNDER RUMBLING)" "Don't even think about leaving, Audra." "You've worked very hard to get where you are." "Very hard." "I know you'd do nothing to jeopardize that." "Or to damage our professional relationship." "Or to turn a friend overnight into a violent enemy, ready to crucify you at any cost." "But there's no need to talk about that." "See you tomorrow."

"BEN:" "This is pretty good." "Come on, Tozier, don't let them see you like this, get a grip, man." "That was a hallucination." "It was a flashback deal." "It was too much fun in '67."

" What I saw at the library, whoa" " Was it Pennywise?" "With both barrels, it was Pennywise." "He's working on us already." " Trying to chip away." " Maybe that means he's afraid." "It." "It's afraid." "Oh, man." "It!" "Help us remember, Mike." "Help us fill in the gaps." "Yeah, please, because I don't know what you are guys talking about." "I can't remember much of anything and when I try, it kind of clouds over." "I mean, didn't you feel it?" "As soon as I crossed the county line, it was like this veil dropped over my eyes." "Maybe it's the water." "The water?" "Maybe it's the sewer." "This is battery acid, you slime!" "BEVERLY:" "Eddie!" "BEN:" "Take a breath, man." "Breathe." "(WHEEZING)" "I'm okay." "I think I remember who Pennywise was now." "Big white guy, red nose, about 75 feet tall, mouth full of razor sharp teeth." "Oh, Eddie." "(CRYING)" "What the hell is happening, you guys?" "What is going on?" "(SNIFFLES)" "I'm sorry." "It was just a very vivid memory." "I had forgotten that I stared that creep right in the face." "And you saved Stan's life." "You remember that part?" "Yeah." "Yeah, now I do." "Hey, speaking of Stan." "Stan?" "Stan!" "Where is his royal straightness anyway?" "He wouldn't fink out on us, would he, Mike?" "You talked to him, right?" "Yeah, I think he'll be along." "I think we ought to go ahead without him." "When he gets here, we can fill him in." "Come on, Mike, talk to us, help us remember." "No." "Wait a minute." "I don't know about you guys, but this is the first time since I got here that I feel good." "I mean, I feel halfway safe." "Come on." "Let's have a couple of drinks, chew on some good food, have a couple of chucks." "And let's just leave the wolf out the door." " Spoken like a real loser, Richie." "(ALL CHUCKLING)" "Hey, to the Loser's Club." " All right!" " To the Loser's Club." "(INDISTINCT)" "Talking about your wives?" "How many times have you been to the altar, Richie?" "RICHIE:" "Four or five." "Who the hell keeps count?" "Women all want the same thing." "No offense, Bev." "None taken, creep." "Welcome to the fourth century." "BILL:" "What about you, Ben, you married?" "Nope, I've dodged the bullet a number of times, now." " How about you, Eddie?" " EDDIE:" "Me?" "Yeah, I'm seeing this really wonderful woman, but with the business and all, I really don't have too much time." "You take it from me, spaghetti man, better dead than wed." "MIKE:" "Any little crumb snatchers for you, Richie?" "RICHIE:" "None that I know of." " How about you, Bev?" " BEVERLY:" "What?" " How about you?" " Oh, uh..." "Well, I live with a" "No, I'm not married." "Richie, what ever happened to those glasses?" "Contact lenses." "Richie, for the number of times you broke those glasses of yours, you should have had stock in an adhesive tape company." "Me and Henry Bowers." "Somebody please tell me he was hit by a freight train and put out of his misery." "No such luck." "You wanna 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 in the sewers." " That creep was gonna 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." " And a clown." "And no one believed him." "Except when he said he killed all the kids." "BEVERLY:" "And we didn't say anything." "BEN:" "Not a word." "But it was the killer and we stopped it." "We thought we did." "PENNYWISE:" "Henry." "Henry Bowers." "Up here, sharp stuff." "Up here!" "You helped me once." "Remember?" "You chased those brats." "Almost got them, Henry." "Almost." "Don't you want another chance?" "You've got to go back and finish the job." "You've got to go back to Derry and kill them all." "For me, Henry." "Kill them all." "Henry, kill them all." "Kill them all." "Kill them all." "Kill them all." "Kill them all!" "Well, sports fans, this has been a real hoot, but I got a plane out at 6:00 a.m." "Richie, you're not leaving?" "Bev, girl, what do you want, an adventure?" "You got some high-toned idea that you're gonna go relive that old nightmare?" "I love you, but count me out." "I'm going to a hotel." "I'm gonna get some sleep, and in the morning, I get on a plane and I'm out of here forever." " I will remember all of you very fondly." " Richie?" "Hey, man, we're all scared." "It's nothing to be ashamed of." "Maybe he's right." "I mean, if you are talking about going back into the sewer?" "BILL:" "We don't know what we're talking about yet mainly because we haven't talked about it yet." "Yeah, suppose we give Mike a chance to fill us in before we scatter to the four winds." "Or is that too much trouble, Richie?" "All I'm saying is I'm gonna go get some sleep." "Is that too much to ask?" "Why don't we show Michael a little courtesy" "Guys!" "Guys, come, on!" "It's all right, Ben." "If Richie wants to go, he goes." "Now, we all came here based on the strength of a promise." "As far as I'm concerned, everybody at this table made good on that promise." "Wherever we go from here," "I have no expectations." "Well said, Michael." "It's all right." "It's taken care of, Richie." "No, you can't do that." "Guys, that's just the way it is." "All right, then." "A toast to Mr. Michael Hanlon." "A man without whom none of this would have been necessary." "I can see my fortune now," ""You're gonna be eaten by a big, greasy monster." "Have a nice day."" "(SCREAMS)" "(YELLING)" "(EXCLAIMS)" "(SQUEALING)" "Dummy up, everybody." "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "ls something the matter?"

"Thank you, Rose." "Guys, I'm not so sleepy anymore." "Let's get the hell out of here." "(SQUEALING CONTINUES)" "(PHONE RINGS)" "Is this the Uris residence?" "Is Stan there?" "This is Mike Hanlon, an old friend." "What are we supposed to do now?" "Hey, spaghetti man, no problem." "A little soap, a little elbow grease ought to clean it right up." "EDDIE:" "Why are we the only ones that can see this?" "Well now, there you've got me stumped." "Let's ask the answer man." "Oh, Mike?" "Oh, Michel..." "(DINGING)" " Garçon?" "Hold on just a sec." "Hello, Stan?" "Mike Hanlon." "Is this the Uris residence?" "I'm trying to get ahold of Stan Uris." "You tell that loser that if he hasn't left already, he's a dead man." "We all managed to show up." "Boy, that matches your real hair." "Has anyone ever told you..." "Is anyone from out of town?" "I don't know about you." "I just flew in from LA, boy, and..." "Boy, is my tail section tired." "(LAUGHING)" "Yeah, not a chance." "We're hot tonight." "It's great to be back in Derry, breathing in that old Derry air." "I have never felt so much love in one room in my entire life." "Eddie, get all their names" "I wanna put them on my Christmas mailer." "No, Denbrough there, let's put him on my Norman Mailer!" "(ALL LAUGHING)" "I love this man." "He's like the brother I never had." "Wait a minute." "He is the brother I never had." "Beep, beep, Richie." "Stan?" "(BEVERLY CHUCKLING)" "Thank you." "Stan is dead." "He cut his wrists in the bathtub right after I phoned him." "Stan was the last one of us to see it that summer." "Remember?" "All summer long he kept saying, "That just isn't empirically possible."" "Even seeing the clown didn't make it real for him." "Nothing did." "Until that afternoon in August." "I remember I was coming down Chestnut Street and I saw Stan running through the park like something was after him." "YOUNG STANLEY:" "Go!" " Go!" " Hi yo, Silver." "Away!" "BILL:" "I can't honestly say I saw anything that day." "Stan's the one who saw it." "I was pedaling too fast to turn around." "I didn't want to see it." "Whatever it was." "It took him hours to calm down enough to tell me what happened." "He said he was down in Lampkin Park by a bird feeder." "Watching birds." "Like a good Boy Scout." "Remember?" "He used to call it "collecting birds"." "(BIRDS CHIRPING)" "PENNYWISE:" "Stan..." "Stan..." "BILL:" "He said he didn't mean to go into that house, but this voice kept whispering to him." "And naturally, being Stan, he figured there was a rational explanation." "Hello?" "PENNYWISE:" "Stanley." "Yeah?" "I'm right here." "(FOOTSTEPS)" "He was trapped." "The only thing he could think of to do was to hold his bird book out in front of him like a shield and say as loud as he could the names of all the birds he could remember." "Longneck finch..." "Speckled grouse, Baltimore oriole..." "Great egret, hammerhead Woodpecker and brown thrush." "Brown thrush." "The day that we went into the sewer" "Stan saw it." "Face to face." "Not the clown, but he saw what was behind the clown." "He ran up to me in school and he said," ""I saw It, Eddie." ""I looked right into its..."" "Some kind of lights." ""I looked right into its deadlights."" "Then he said, and I hadn't thought of it until just now, I swear, he said," ""I looked into its deadlights and I wanted to be there."" "Deadlights." " BEN:" "I need a drink." " Yeah, me, too." "MIKE:" "I'm sure I've got something here." "Anybody else?" "BEVERLY:" "Yeah." "Stan!" "Sorry, I'm late." "Well, let's see who's here." "(STAMMERING)" "Billy-boy!" "Richie, you still here?" "We never expected you to stick around." "Nice nose job." "No one would ever suspect." "Haystack, putting on a little weight, huh?" "Speaking of dads, Bevy, yours isn't worried about you anymore." "He loves your choice in men." "Wheezy, how's your sex life?" "What's your sex life?" "Well, Mikey, you did it." "You got us all back here." "I guess it's 'cause it's the only way you'd ever see us since you're so lame you'd never leave this town." "I finally made it, guys." "I'm in the deadlights now." "PENNYWISE'S VOICE:" "And you know what?" "It's true what they say." "We all float down here and you will, too." "In fact, they all float!" "They all float!" "(SCREAMING)" "My God!" "(ALL GASPING)" "(RUMBLING)" "All right." "I don't know about the rest of you, I'm getting real sick of this place." "Now I'll listen to anything anybody has to say, but could we do it someplace else?" "Please!" "Okay." "Just help me with the stuff." "Bill." "What is it?" "(STUTTERS) "He thrusts his..."" ""He thrusts his fists against the post and still insists he see the ghosts."" "That's all it says over and over and over again." "(STUTTERING)" "My mom gave me that to say to help with my stutter." "No offense, pal, it ain't helping." "Let's get the hell out of here." "What do you say?" "BELCH:" "Henry!" "Down here." "Belch?" "What are you doing down there?" "KOONTZ:" "You got a problem in there you need some help with, Henry?" "That's a good boy." "BELCH:" "You don't have to talk out loud, Henry." "I can hear you when you just think it and they can't hear me at all." " HENRY:" "What do you want?" " Same thing you want." "I want to pay them back." "HENRY:" "Yeah, pay them back." "But you're gonna have to get out of here." "You're gonna have to go back to Derry." "PENNYWISE'S VOICE:" "I need you, Henry." "We all need you." "HENRY:" "They can't hurt you." "We didn't think they could hurt us back then either, but they did, didn't they?" " Bested you all summer." "HENRY:" "Don't talk about that." "I can take care of them if they only half believe." "But you, you're alive, Henry." "You can get them no matter if they believe, half believe or don't believe at all." "One by one, Henry." "HENRY:" "I can't get out of here." "They got wires on the windows, and Koontz is on the door tonight." "Man, Koontz is the worst." "I hate him." "I'll take care of Koontz, Henry." "PENNYWISE'S VOICE:" "Lead the way, Henry." "Lead the way." "All right, dog meat, I've had it." "Your head's gonna be bouncing off the floor" "(GASPS)" "(BARKING) -(SCREAMING)" "No, no, no, Mike." "No, no, no." "I will have no need of this stuff, Mike." "Thank you very much for thinking about me and including it just in case." "But none for me, thank you very much!" " Richie, you're shouting." " What?" "I know!" "Beep, beep, Richie." "Beep, beep." "Talk to us, Mike." "Tell us stories." "Tell us things so we don't have to remember what we just saw in the library." "(WHEEZING)" "Hey, Eddie." "Come on, pal." "Don't let it get you." "Fight it." "I saw myself today." "I saw myself back there." "I know it's just camphor water, I know that, but I need it anyway." "Take it easy, pal." "If it works, Eddie, it's good medicine." "You've always believed in it," "that's all that ever mattered." " Thanks." "I'm sure by now you all remember what was going on in Derry 30 years ago." "There was a rash of killings, maimings, disappearances, mostly of children." "Everybody was afraid, but nobody did anything." "Until we went after it." "We almost killed it." "Henry Bowers confessed to everything and the killings stopped." "Until earlier this year, exactly 30 years later." "Now, the first thing you should know is, if you count backwards in 30-year increments, every date you come to will correspond to a huge disaster in Derry's history." "In 1960, the big fire at the Black Spot Club." "In 1930, the explosion down at the old ironworks." "In 1900, the massacre at Drake's Creek." "And on, and on." "The biggest mystery is how 253 settlers just disappeared without a trace." "Thank you, Michael, for that illuminating, if somewhat morbid, history." "BEVERLY:" "She didn't want to know." "You knew all about this, even then." "Miss Douglas didn't want to know." "It's a disease, Bev." "The Derry disease." "None of them wants to know." "It's too horrible so they act like" " They act like it didn't even happen." "I remember a man, Mr. Ross, he was on his front porch, I was coming home from school." "Henry Bowers was waiting right outside my house." "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "I saw Mr. Ross across the street." "He looked so concerned, I thought he was going to help me, but I couldn't believe it, he just turned around and went inside." "That was when it really hit me there was something terribly wrong in Derry, with Derry." "How did you get out of that, Bev?" "Daddy came home, one of the only times I was ever really glad to see him." "So, it's 30 years later and right on schedule the killings start up again." "Six so far, maybe more." "There have been a number of disappearances with no trace of a body." "I wanted to be absolutely certain before I called anyone." "And I became absolutely certain when I found something at the latest crime site." "God, that was just yesterday." "Anyway, this is it." "RICHIE:" "Georgie?" "MIKE:" "For whatever reason, there's something very special about us being together." "We found each other that summer and our togetherness made us strong." "Otherwise, it would have picked us off, one by one." "Think about it." "Is it an accident that none of us have kids?" "Including Stan." "Or that when we came together as young people, we were all losers." "Now look at you." "Six of you left Derry and became unusually successful." "Big-time breadwinners." "Leaving you here holding the bag." "Yeah." "You kept the lighthouse for the rest of us." "I feel like a real jerk about that, Mike." "Me, too." "It's nobody's fault." "Our parents decided who stayed and who went." "When I grew up, I stayed here because I wanted to." "I think you stayed because you had to." "I don't know what's gonna happen when the sun comes up, but I do know that I appreciate what you've done for everyone." "(BELL RINGS)" " ATTENDANT:" "Good evening." "You're up late." " How much farther is Derry?" "Oh..." "I guess about maybe 500 yards to the city limits." "Oh, thank God." "I nearly fell asleep a while ago." "I feel like I've been driving forever." "Just cross the old bridge down there at the barrens and hang a left." "The barrens?" "PENNYWISE'S VOICE:" "Yes, where they used to play when they were kids." "Thank you." "I'll be going now." "Don't you want your balloon first, Mrs. Denbrough?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "Don't you want it?" "BEN:" "They chased me up the hall, past the lockers, they got me down and they started slapping me." "The coach found me lying there, I was crying, and I thought he was gonna help me." "But instead, he just made fun of me and something inside snapped." "I got mad." "I said, "Coach, you coach track, right?"" "He sort of sneered at me and nodded, and I said," ""Well, you listen to me, you stone-brained son of a bitch," ""I'm gonna go out for the track team in March" ""and I'm gonna run down everything you got." ""I'm gonna run down your best" ""and then I want a flipping apology from you."" "All right." "And so you did it?" "Yeah, I ran everywhere." "Sometimes, my heart felt like it was pounding so hard I was gonna pass out." "And the first time I ran a mile, I puked, then fainted." "(ALL LAUGHING)" "BEN:" "Finally, I was holding up my pants as I ran." "I mean, I ate salads like there was no tomorrow." "By March, I'd lost 70 pounds and I'd grown two inches." "Every time I ran, I felt like I could fly." " And you went out?" " I went out for track just like I said." "First day I was out there I won the 220 and the 440." "I just blew away the coaches." "Best guys." "After practice, I walked right up to the coach and I asked for that apology." "He was so furious, he hit me." " No!" "After all that" " It was perfect!" " You beat him!" " And everybody knew it." "I graduated from El Paso High with a letter in track." "And the coach lost his job over that little love tap." "That's great, Ben." "You ought to write that one down." " Bill's our writer." " I just write horror stories." "You know, we still haven't talked about what we're going to do, if we're gonna do anything." "On, Mikey, Mikey, Mikey..." "Listen, kids." "This campfire stuff is fun, it really is, but it doesn't matter how painstakingly we go over these sewer plans or how many damn flashlights or helmets you got in that box." "When the sun comes up, I'm dust, and I would suggest that the rest of you follow me and get the hell out of Dodge!" " I cleaned it up once." " BILL:" "Cleaned what?" "The blood." "I cleaned the whole thing up that very same night." "(PENNYWISE LAUGHS)" "BEVERLY:" "I decided if I was ever going to sleep in this house again," "I'd have to know the truth." "To see if anyone besides me could see the blood." "What happened in here?" "Somebody get murdered?" "You see it?" "You really see it?" "EDDIE:" "Come on, let's clean this up." "BEVERLY:" "Until that moment, I thought I was going crazy." "It was so strange to be happy about something so grim." "I fell in love with all of you guys that day." "And after we cleaned it up, the blood never came back." "It will be morning soon." " I'm cold." " Me, too." " I'll get you something." " There's a shawl in my room." "Give me your room key and I'll get it." "Richie, you have a key?" "YOUNG BILL:" "All right." "Now, listen up." "Stay together, guys." "No stragglers." "Just get the first thing you find." "I need to stretch my legs anyway." "Ben." " Don't go alone." " Uh, I need a refill anyway." "I'll join you." "I'll take care of Richie." "Okay." "We meet back here in three minutes, no more." "Keep your doors open." "(GRUNTING)" "Hello, nigger." "I'll pay you back." "I'm gonna pay you all back." "(GASPS)" "Oh, good." "You found it." "I'm glad we're alone for a minute." "I've been wanting to say something to you." ""Your hair is winter fire." "January embers." ""My heart burns there, too."" "It was you." "I've been waiting a long time to thank the poet." " Did you ask Bill first?" " No." "I knew it was you." "I've always known it was you." "I think I must have been waiting, Ben, waiting until we were both ready." "I'm ready now." "Are you?" "(BEN MOANS)" "Oh, oh, Beverly." "Kiss me, fat boy!" "(GRUNTS)" "(GRUNTING)" "(GLASS BREAKS)" "(KNOCKING)" "(STRAINING)" "Belch..." "Mike!" "Mike!" "Mike!" "EDDIE:" "You all right?" "BEN:" "I got it." " BILL:" "Get him in there." " EDDIE:" "Give me a hand." "BEN:" "Watch it!" "Okay, easy." "(ENGINE REVS)" " In the car." " Hurry up!" "BEN:" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" " BEVERLY:" "No, Mike!" "BEVERLY:" "If Mike dies, there will be five of us left." "Who comes next?" "Which one of us?" "Why is it doing this?" "Why does It hate?" "Why is It so mean?" "(CRYING)" "Oh, Ben." "I want to tell you something." "You remember what my father was like?" "I fell in love with a man who turned out to be everything I always hated in my father." "Why would I do that?" "How could I be so blind?" "If you see it now, you're not blind anymore, Bev." "Congratulations." "That's a miracle." "Besides, at least you fell in love with somebody." "At least you felt something." "That's a miracle, too." "You have the heart of a poet, Ben." ""Your hair is winter fire."" " Why did you say that?" " You wrote it, didn't you?" ""Your hair is winter fire." "January embers." Something." "When I was young, I thought it was Bill, but it was you, wasn't it?" "Damn it, Bev, is that you in there or is that the clown?" "I don't know what the hell is going on!" "How am I supposed to know?" "It's me." "It's me." ""My heart burns there, too."" "(CLEARS THROAT)" " Mike's gonna be okay." " BEVERLY:" "Can we see him?" "He's not out of the woods yet." "I guess one of you could go in for just a minute." "Mike?" "Everyone else is right outside." " Henry?" " He's dead." " Police?" " Not yet." "Be careful." "We can't trust anyone." "If anybody asks, a party got out of hand." "You were dancing on the table, you took a fall." "Anyone who's seen me dance will buy that." " What are you going to do?" " I don't know, man." "I honestly do not know." "My jacket." "Outside pocket." "YOUNG BILL:" "It's silver. lt can kill lt." "But we left these down in the..." "You went back?" "I was pretty sure it was asleep." ""Pretty sure"?" "You went alone?" "Ten years ago my life was going downhill." "I was close to suicide." "I think I really wanted It to wake up and kill me." "Took me all day stumbling around in the dark." "I found one right away." "In the drain trap." "The other one, the one that hit Pennywise, was lodged in a crack in the wall." "I figured we might need that kind of help again one day." "When I came out, I kind of I got my life together." "The only change was this." "Almost overnight." "Fear." "Bill." "If you decide not use those, if you leave, I'll understand." "BEN:" "People, that is a dead body." "You're not seriously suggesting we walk out of here and leave it lying there?" "Yeah." "That's what I'm suggesting." " I think we ought to call the police." " I think Eddie's right." "You don't understand." "This whole town is It in some way." "All of them." "Bill's right." "If we call the police, get the town involved, something bad's going to happen to one of us." "Maybe all of us." "All right." "Have it your way." "Stan is dead." "Mike came close." "I've seen enough." "I'm with you, boy." "You can put this behind you just like that?" "I'm a little old for monster hunting, Bill." "So was Mike." "So was Stan." " Is that how you feel, Ben?" " I don't know how I feel." "All I know is, I can't stay in this room much longer." "So I suggest we just turn on the TV, hang a "Do not disturb" sign on the door, go outside, then figure out what to do." "I second that." "REPORTER:" "Police Chief Andrew Rademacher of the downtown branch said the victim, 5-year-old Danielle Huxton, had been playing at the creek near her home." "Local authorities have not yet said whether there might be a connection between this and a recent rash of disappearances involving young children." "They did reveal, however, that the body was severely mutilated." "In other news tonight, a series of robberies in the east end has local officials baffled..." "Appreciate it if you just put that on my card, send me a receipt." " Oh, certainly, Mr. Hanscom." " Me, too, thank you." " Ditto, thanks." " Nice time, loads of fun." "Got to go, bye." "(FÜR ELISE PLAYING)" "Need a ride, Bill?" " Where are you going, Richie?" " Airport." " I guess we are, too, Bill." " Come with us." "I just saw something and I have no idea if it was real." "If any of you would have seen it or not." "I can't go." "Because if I do, I'm gonna live with this until I go insane." "Until I can't tell the difference between my life and my bad dreams." "For years I've been getting paid to scare people." "But I'm the one who's been scared." "All my life." "I don't want to be scared anymore." "I'm going back in." "This time I'm gonna kill It." "YOUNG BILL:" "Help me!" "Help me!" "(CRYING)" "Please, help me." "I don't suppose anybody thought to bring anything really useful, like a machine gun?" "I brought this." "It's the only thing I saved from those days." " I remember you were a dead shot, Bev." " You couldn't miss." "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." " Bright lights." "Deadlights." "We saw them, too, for a second." "Bev?" " Bill, how on earth..." " Mike went back down and got them." "These are for him and for Stan." " Lucky seven." " We're all here now." "Oh, come on, guys." "What the hell are you going to do now?" "Sing Kumbaya?" "Wake up." "Take a breath." "Do you smell that?" "That's death." "It's not for Mike, it's not for Stan, it's not for Henry Bowers." "It's for us." "It's in the air." "Losers fight It, losers die." "And you know that, don't you, Captain?" " You don't have to go down there, Richie." " Right." "I didn't have to get on a plane in LA," "I didn't have to go to the dinner, I sure as hell didn't have to come here." "And now I don't have to go in." "I still say we should have brought a machine gun." "I remember the first thing I saw down here was one of those damn pom-poms." " This purse looks new." " Oh, dear God." "It's not possible." " Audra." " What?" "How in God's name-- She's down here." " His wife?" "It's got her." " How could she..." "it could be a trick or something." "Bill, wait, damn it!" "BILL:" "Audra!" "(GROANS)" "Audra." "Audra." "BEVERLY:" "Bill." "RICHIE:" "Come back, Bill!" " Do you want to get yourself killed?" " Oh, God, Bill!" "BEN:" "God, Bill, you all right?" "(CRYING) It's my fault." "She followed me." " I told her" " BEVERLY:" "Bill, that's enough!" "If she is down here, there's only one way you can help her." "Now you know what we came down here for and we're going to do it." "Now, we need you." "We need you to stand up for us like before, or none of us is going to get out of here." "Come on." "Stay close together." " Looks like we're off the map." " I think..." "That way." "We're here." "BEN:" "The roots all grow down." "RICHIE:" "Yeah." " Yeah, the walls cracked, remember?" " When It came." "Dear God, please don't let these things come to life." "Don't you even think that, spaghetti man." "I told you not to call me "spaghetti man."" "I think something is coming." " My boat." " Georgie." "It's all your fault." "Oh..." "Georgie." "All your fault, Bill." "You sent me out and It killed me." "(STAMMERS) No." "No, Georgie." "I didn't know." "Bill, remember, that's not Georgie." "Remember." "Fight it!" "It was in the drain, Bill." "It was in the drain." "And you let It kill me." "(STAMMERS) No." "I loved you." "BEN:" "Damn it, Bill, that thing's not your brother." " Come on, man." " RICHIE:" "Fight it." "You are not George." "George is dead, and it's not my fault." "You killed my brother, George, you bastard." "Let's see you now." "BILL:" "Let's see you now." "Show yourself." "You killed my little brother and now you're going to pay." "(RUMBLING)" "PENNYWISE:" "Go while you still can." "This is your last chance." "Show yourself." "PENNYWISE:" "Silly boy." "You still think you can see me." "You'll never see me." "You'll see only what your little mind can allow." "Go!" "Now." "For if you stay, you'll lose your little mind in my deadlights." "Like all the others." "Like all the others." "(PENNYWISE LAUGHS)" "Bill." "We can't fight that thing." "That's like trying to fight smoke." "Don't you understand what Mike was trying to tell us?" "It feeds, Richie." "It wakes up every 30 years and it feeds." "And in order to feed, it has to take on some kind of physical form." "It's here." "Down here." "Somewhere." "Fee, fi, fo, fum." " You think we're strong enough?" " We have to be." "I have to tell you guys something before we go in there." " Eddie?" " Yeah." "(SNIFFLES)" " I've been lying." " About what?" "When I said that I was seeing someone." "Well, I'm not." "In fact, I haven't ever..." "I mean, I've never even been with any..." "Eddie, what are you saying?" "You're a virgin?" "Yeah." "Well, I can't help you with that, pal." "But thanks for sharing." "Richie, let him talk." "You see..." "I could never sleep with somebody that I didn't love." "And I've never really loved anyone." "Except you guys." "Hey." "(CRYING)" "(CREAKING)" "BEVERLY:" "Oh, my God." "A body." "Audra." " Bill, for God's sake!" " Wait for us, buddy." "It's Audra." "I'm going to get her." "(YELLING)" "BEVERLY:" "Bill... (GROWLING)" "I damn you to hell." "BEN:" "Please, dear God!" ""He thrusts his fists against the posts," ""and still insists he sees the ghosts."" "It's taking him." "Bill!" "Come on, guys!" "We got to" "Bev!" "Bev, where are you going?" "Bev..." "Bev..." "What am I going to do?" "This is battery acid, you slime!" "(GROANING)" "I believe in Santa Claus." "I believe in the Easter Bunny." "I believe in the Tooth Fairy." "But I don't believe in you." "This is battery acid." "Now you disappear." "(SHOUTING)" "Please, God, don't let me miss again." "(GROANS)" "BEN:" "Eddie?" "Eddie." "Hey..." "Nice shot, Bev." "Don't you talk." "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..." "Eddie." "Eddie." "This isn't over." "If that thing comes back when I'm 70..." "Let's finish it." "Once and for all." "(MONSTER SCREAMS)" "(ALL GRUNTING)" "(HEART BEATING)" "(HEARTBEAT STOPS)" "Audra." "It's all coming down." "MIKE:" "I guess that's how I'd like to remember us, if I could remember us." "Standing there by the lake with the sun going down on our childhood." "This will be my last entry." "I got it in just in time." "Just before the fog in my brain swept all of my memories away entirely." "Now, just weeks later, I look back on that time not from memory, but from the pages of this book." "The nightmare is over." "What little police involvement there was was brief and cursory." "As is always the case here in Derry." "Now that there's no further need for a lighthouse keeper..." "Well, I feel I may move on, see whatever's down the road apiece." "As of this writing, Richie's still knocking them dead." "He's got a part in a movie." "MAN: 574." "Take 18, mark." "MIKE:" "He costars with another comic, a guy any of the lucky seven could have told you looks and acts a lot like Eddie Kaspbrak." "DIRECTOR:" "And cut." "MIKE:" "Ben and Bev left Derry together, headed west." "After a week, they were married." "A few weeks later, they were pregnant." "Another curse broken." "Bill and Audra are still here." "I wish the news were better." "But Audra's condition is unchanged." "They're leaving today." "Okay, Audra." "It's time to go." "MIKE:" "Bill thought the time here, the time away from his work, might somehow help." "But I guess Audra's gone for good." "One of It's many casualties." "Locked in that haunted place where she saw Its deadlights." "Bill has been good to visit every day." "We laugh about our failing memories." "We sometimes have to ask each other's names now." "His sadness is profound." "I wish there was something I could do." "Something I could have done." "YOUNG BILL:" "Hi yo, Silver." "Away!" "Wait." "Audra, this bike saved little Stan's life once." "Mine, too." "We were going so fast, I think we beat the devil." "I don't know if I can go that fast again." "Hold on." "Beat it." "Beat it." "Beat it." "Beat it, Audra." "Beat it." "Beat it." "Come on." "Come on." "(TIRES SCREECHING) -(HONKING)" "(AUDRA GASPS)" " Bill?" " Yes." " Bill, where are we?" "What are we doing?" " Yes, it's okay." "It's okay." "Hang on." "Just hang on, babe, it's okay." "(HORNS HONKING)" "(PENNYWISE LAUGHS)" "English-SDH"
