Bridge To Terabithia Page #3

Synopsis: Jesse Aarons trained all summer to become the fastest runner in school, so he's very upset when newcomer Leslie Burke outruns him and everyone else. Despite this and other differences, including that she's rich, he's poor, and she's a city girl, he's a country boy, the two become fast friends. Together, they create Terabithia, a land of monsters, trolls, ogres, and giants and rule as king and queen. This friendship helps Jess deal with the tragedy that makes him realize what Leslie taught him.

I want everyone to watch and write one

page about what you've learned.

Leslie?

What if you can't watch this program?

Inform your parents it's an assignment,

I'm sure they won't object.

But... what if you don't have a TV?

My dad says the TV

kills your brain cells.

Your dad doesn't know anything.

We watch TV, like, every day.

- I rest my case.

- Well, then, Leslie,

you don't have to write this essay.

Pick something else to write about.

Yeah, like, how to live in a cave.

That's enough, Mr. Hoager.

Hey, Leslie, come here.

What are you gonna write your essay on?

Bats in caves?

- Here comes Janice!

- New kid's in Janice's seat.

- What does she think she's doing?

- Jess! The big kids will kill her!

You have a death wish?

This row's for eighth-graders.

That's right, beanpole. Move it.

Out of my way, farm boy.

You're really asking for it.

Seems to me she gives it out

whether you ask for it or not.

So might as well have some fun.

Getting Janice all wound up

is a weird way of having fun.

Well, what's your idea of having fun?

- I don't know.

- Well, you wanna do something?

- I don't know.

- Let's do something. Definitely.

- What?

- You can't do it.

- Do what?

- What we're doing.

Hey, May Belle!

I don't use my Barbies anymore.

- If you want, you can have them.

- To keep for permanent?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

You're lucky to have a sister.

I've got four, and I'd

trade them all for a good dog.

I'd love to have a dog.

Now let's go before

she changes her mind.

Race you to the end of the road.

On your mark, get set, go!

Come on, Jess!

Come on!

What about sharks?

You ever see any sharks while you're

scuba-ing or whatever?

I've never gone scuba diving

in my whole life.

- You lied in your essay?

- No. I made it up.

It's different from lying.

Those drawings you make,

you seen those things yourself?

No, but...

Hey! Look at that!

- Cool!

- That's been there forever.

I wouldn't trust it.

Come on. Just try it.

OK.

You got it? That's it.

Thanks.

- What are you doing?

- Getting up higher.

OK.

Wow! That was so much fun.

You have to try it. Come on.

OK.

Let your head hang back,

watch the clouds.

Feels like flying.

- We need a place. Just for us.

- Hmm?

Where there's no

Janice Averys or Scott Hoagers.

Yeah, but when we go back to school,

there they are waiting.

Yeah, but...

...someplace better than

just not being at school.

What if there was a magical kingdom

only we knew about?

I don't know. What if?

OK, well...

...what if the only way

we could enter it

is by swinging on this enchanted rope?

- Enchanted rope?

- Yeah.

Come on.

Leslie!

Leslie!

Leslie.

- Come on!

- Wait up.
