A Wrinkle in Time Page #3

- CALVIN:
That I am.

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

I was doing my homework...

and suddenly

I got this feeling

that I had to come here.

Like, right here.

Is that weird?

Maybe a little.

CHARLES WALLACE:
The truth is,

you were called here.

You're good at diplomacy.

What do we need diplomacy for,

Charles Wallace?

Well, the fact that you asked

is exactly why we need it.

So what do you say, Calvin,

you wanna come with us?

Sure.

Why not?

CHARLES WALLACE:
Great.

Let's go meet Mrs. Who.

MEG:
No! No, Charles Wallace!

Charles Wallace,

do not go in there.

That house is falling apart,

it's off-limits.

He's a fearless

little guy.

(SIGHS) Unfortunately.

I told you no.

We cannot go in there.

It's not safe.

It's practically

the safest place...

in the universe.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

CALVIN:
Look.

Mrs. Who, it's me,

Charles Wallace.

(LAUGHS) Oh.

MRS. WHO:

"Life without love...

"is like a tree

without blossoms or fruit."

Gibran, Lebanese.

Calvin. Uh, American.

CHARLES WALLACE:

Mrs. Who prefers

not to think for herself.

MEG:
That's just rude,

Charles Wallace.

No. She's just evolved

past language...

so when

she needs to think...

she cheats and uses

other people's words.

It's nice how

she gives them credit.

Mrs. Who, meet my Meg.

MEG:
Okay.

Okay.

"The wound is the place where

the light enters you."

Rumi, Persian.

CHARLES WALLACE:

(SIGHS) Poor Mrs. Who.

We tired her out.

CALVIN:
I guess she was

really tired. (CHUCKLES)

CHARLES WALLACE:

She's still adjusting.

MEG:
Adjusting to what?

CHARLES WALLACE:

Sorry, you're almost,

but not quite ready

to find out.

MEG:
Charles Wallace...

whatever she is, whatever that

is, whatever all this is...

I don't like it.

You'll manage.

Come on, time to go.

Let's let Mrs. Who rest.

We'll see her again

very soon.

MEG:
Charles Wallace,

can you, um,

pass me the pepper, please?

Thank you.

CHARLES WALLACE:

So, they met in college.

She was tutoring him.

It's a great story,

actually.

CALVIN:
Oh, really?

Is that his work?

CHARLES WALLACE:

Mommy's, too.

Cool.

What's it about?

Well...

I'm mostly interested

in the small...

atoms, particles...

the unseeable energies

that move through us all.

(SOFTLY) Go get 'em.

MRS. MURRY:
Their dad

is all about the big.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

MR. MURRY:
So, what if

we are here for a reason?

What if we are not just

in the universe...

but the universe

is within all of us?

Think about

quantum entanglement.

Two electrons

once bonded together,

in love, if you will...

suddenly separated

by a galaxy...

but somehow

still just as connected.

An unbroken union

despite being galaxies apart.
