- I mean you no harm.|- Why haven't we ever seen him then?

I heard he's got|all kinds of toys too.

His parents buy him everything.

If he's our age,|why ain't he in school?

Because he's dangerous.|He's huge enough to hurt other kids.

That's why they keep him locked up.

Friend.

- What do you see?|- Nothing.

A teacher comes|to his house every day.

Jack, you're not paying attention.

- Jack, you're not paying attention.|- Don't be afraid.

I saw him in the store|with his mom.

I thought it was her husband at first,|but he's like a giant boy.

- He shaves and stuff.|- There's no such thing as giants.

Well, how'd he get like that?

Maybe his mom took drugs.

Maybe it was that fertility junk,|and she was gonna have quintuplets...

but just turned into|one big baby.

- Doof.|- Oh, he sleeps up there.

He's a monstrosity.|That's why they hide him.

No wonder they keep him|outta school.

Maybe they got him chained up.

Maybe they only let him loose|once a day to eat.

Is that like a big pile|of bones in his backyard?

- Where? Uh, what?|l-l don't see anything.|- Look!

Look!

Look out!

Come on, Louis!

- We gotta-- We gotta get outta here!|- Oh, gross!

Come on, Louis!|He's watching you! Come on!

Come on!

Ow. Ow.

- What happened? What'd you do?|Where does it hurt?|- Ow!

- My knee.|- Let me see.

Well, it's not bleeding. Okay.

- It's not?|- I can fix it for you.|- Okay.

- I'll bite it.|- No, no. No, don't bite it.|- Oh, yeah.

- I really do. I have to bite it.|- Don't.

- Yeah?|- It'll get infected.|- Oh, okay.

But this leg has got to come off.|I'll get your father's saw.

No, no. No, no, don't get that.

I saw-- I saw your butt.

- Yeah, you did.|- Sorry.

Let's see.

- What do you hear?|- Nothing. It's okay.

- How about the toes?|- The toes are okay. I can feel that.

- Here?|- I can feel that.|- How about that?

- That's o-- That's--|- Yeah? That's much better?

Oh, go--

- Now--|- That feels good now.

- I told you about those laces, champ.|- Yeah.

- Hmm?|- Yeah.|- Okay.|- You did. Sorry.

- So, where were we?|- History.

History. Okay.

So, by the time he was 18...

the young Alexander|had already conquered|most of the Greek city states...

and some feel that|he had learned everything...

from his tutor, Aristotle.

Jack.

- Jack.|- Hmm?

- What did I just say?|- Aristotle.

- Where's Aristotle?|- Book.

- Where's Jack?|- Outside.

I think what you have|set up here is wonderful.

I'm not trying to take|anything away from that.

I know you're not.

But to say that Jack should start|going to public school is crazy.

Yeah, but because|a person is different...

you can't make|an outcast of him.

But we'll talk to the principal.

The principal will prepare|the students.
