You're sweaty. Come, you

have to do the cake.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Hey, birthday girl!

Daddy!

Happy birthday.

It's a teddy bear!

We got you something else, too.

Wow, thanks.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

It's so cool!

I've wanted one

of them for ages!

Great.

Oh, yes.

You know, it's actually an

antique, it's nearly 50 years old.

An old

teddy bear. Cool.

I love it, Dad, really.

So, how old are you again?

Nine? Ten?

Dad.

Four?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Okay, guys.

It's time.

ALL:
(SINGING)

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Mia

Happy birthday to you

(SCATTING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Whoo!

MIA:
Hollowface woke up because

someone called his name.

After many, many

years, he was free.

When Hollowface

came out of his lair,

the people looked

right through him.

It was like he was in visible.

He saw people in the street,

talking and kissing.

And he knew that, without a

face, no one could love him.

Hollowface kept hunting for

a boy to steal his face.

He looked everywhere, in

every window of every house.

Until one night, he found a

house with a child inside.

And an open window.

(MOANING)

He crept through the rooms

and down the corridor,

where he saw a girl

who was still awake.

So he crept closer, and closer.

And he forgot all about

hunting for the boy.

Now, Hollowface

wanted the girl's face

more than anything else

in the world.

So, he devised a plan.

He would hide in the

dark corner of her room

and wait for her to go to

sleep, and then he would...

(DOOR CREAKING)

(GROANING)

I really want one.

One?

Just one.

No.

Yes, just one.

No.

No, don't.

You don't need it.

I do.

That's pathetic.

Mia.

Mia, go to your room.

JOHN:
What is it? What's

the matter, sweetheart?

Mia, you've school

tomorrow, go.

John.

Come on, it's her birthday.

Are you okay, birthday girl?

I can't sleep.

Too much Coca-Cola?

It's not that.

No? What is it then?

Come on,

let's get you into bed.

Oh, I can see

you love my present.

Dad, I'm 12 years old.

Did you hear that?

Sorry, mate, I think you

should've stayed in the shop.

Looks like she is just a little

bit too grown-up for you.

Oh, yeah. She's wearing

lipstick and everything.

(CHUCKLES)

Come on,

you should try to sleep.

Good night, sweetheart.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(RAIN PATTERING)

One, two, three, four, five.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(ANTONIO SPEAKING SPANISH)

"He was a murderer

from the beginning,

and did not abide in the truth,

because there is

no truth in him.

If ye continue in my word,

then ye are

my disciples indeed.

And ye shall know the truth,

and the truth

will make you free."

Wait for us here.
