(JUAN SPEAKING SPANISH)

The shadow monster woke up.

It saw the boy

in the pot and said:

"Mmm. I'm starving."

"I'm going to eat you up."

So the monster opened

his mouth wide and...

swallowed

the little tailor whole.

The boy fell

and fell into a dark cave

filled with slime...

Is that it?

That's all

I could come up with.

Well, you'll think

of something tomorrow.

Let's go to bed.

But I'm not sleepy and I

haven't finished it yet.

I know, sweetie, but Mommy's

tired from working all day

and she needs to sleep.

Here, I'll carry you.

God, you're heavy!

Your story needs an ending.

Let's see if I can help.

Let me think...

Remember the scissors the

tailor had given his son?

Well, suddenly he remembered

he still had them.

He took them out

and started cutting.

Snip, snip, snip...

Snip, snip, snip...

(GROWLING PLAYFULLY)

(LAUGHING)

And the monster shouted:

"Ouch!"

"Who's cutting me?"

And the little tailor...

I know, I know!

The boy cuts his way out,

makes himself

a monster-skin coat

and the arrows couldn't hurt him any more.

I'll finish it right now.

You're going to sleep or you'll

be tired in the morning.

Mom...

We'll get the little boy out of the

monster's belly in the morning.

Don't shut it, Meow is still outside.

He might want to come in.

No dreaming

about monsters, okay?

Leave her alone, monster!

(LUISA YELLING)

Let him go!

(JUAN YELLING)

Mommy!

(HOLLOWFACE RASPING)

(JUAN SCREAMING)

Mommy!

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

Mommy, Mommy!

There, there...

It's over, sweetie.

There, there...

The monster came in

through the window.

It wanted to take me away.

It was... It had no face.

There's no monster in here.

It was only a nightmare.

It was only a nightmare.

Don't worry.

It's over.

What if he comes back?

If he comes back, close your

eyes and count to five.

When you open them,

he'll be gone, you'll see.

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

FRANK:
I'm going to call her.

She is driving me crazy.

I can't stop

thinking about her.

Oh, I'm sure Carol would

be very happy about that.

F*** off.

You're not an angel.

Don't tell me

you never thought about it.

(CHUCKLING) Listen, mate, I'm

very happy with what I've got.

I mean, what could be so wrong

with a bit of

no-questions-asked,

harmless fun with

a filthy stranger

to spice up your love life?

Just as long as Carol

doesn't find out.

And if she does?

I'd deny it, wouldn't you?

Listen, mate, if I were you,

I'd just get it out of the way

and tell her everything now.

(LAUGHING) F*** off!

Come on!

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

Keep an eye on Frank.

I have to call my daughter.

SUSANNA:

She is just very lonely.

DAVE:

She must miss you.

Yes, she does. She misses me very

much, but my brother's there, so...

Send them my love.

I will. That's nice

of you, thank you.

Yeah, I know, she is old.

(PHONE SIGNAL INTERRUPTING)

Hey, Dad.

Where are you?

JOHN:
(ON PHONE) Sorry, sweetheart.

I'm still at work.

I'm gonna be another hour.

That's too bad. Grandma

made me her famous cake.

Yeah, don't tell me,

chocolate, jam in the middle

and fake cream on top.

(LAUGHS)

Is Mum there?

Can I talk to her?

Sure.

Dad wants to talk to you.

Hey, baby.

Yeah. Okay.

Mia, it's so good to see you.

(CHUCKLING)

MIA:

Where is Winnie going?

Yeah? Okay,

love you, too. Bye.

(WINNIE MEOWING)

Hey, Winnie, where are you?

Winnie, where are you?

(MEOWING CONTINUES)

(PURRING)

(GRUNTING)

(MEOWING)

Where are you going?

What have you found?

MIA:
"Hollowface woke up because

someone called his name."

"After many, many

years, he was free."

"He wasn't young or old,

or ugly or handsome."

"He had no shape, he

didn't even have a face."

"He remembered a boy with a

face that looked like him."

"Hollowface had

to find the boy."

"He had to

find his face."

"Until one night, Hollowface

finally found a face to steal."

"It was a little boy

staring out of a window."

"Hollowface wanted

the boy's face"

"more than anything

else in the world."

"Without a face,"

"he had nothing."

"So he devised a plan."

"First,"

"he'd separate the boy

from his parents."

"Then he'd take him

back to his lair."

"He'd rip off his face

and wear it himself."

"That way,

everybody would love him."

"The next night,"

"Hollowface

dressed up as a man"

"and went back

to the boy's house."

"He ran up

the wall quickly."

"He slipped

through an open window."

"He found the boy's room

and slipped inside."

"The boy was sleeping."

"Hollowface moved

closer and closer,"

"and closer."

Continue, Mia.

That's all I have.

You haven't finished it?

I didn't know how to.

It's not bad.

You've hooked your audience and

left us with a cliff-hanger.

Try to finish it for next week.

Well, we are all

looking forward

to finding out what

happens next, aren't we?

(BELL RINGING)

MIA:
See you later.

Oh, what time is

the party again?

Okay, bye!

See you.

Hey!

You're late.

Sorry.

Who is she?

(LAUGHS)
