Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events Page #4

How could they? They had no plan for us at all?

Well, maybe they did have a plan.

Well, it sure looks like it to me.

Do you remember when Mom and Dad went to Europe?

We thought they'd abandoned us because they didn't even write.

We found out they'd written a letter that got lost in the mail.

Do you remember how guilty we felt for thinking bad thoughts about them?

This is just like that.

No, it's not.

Why?

Because they're not in Europe.

They're not coming back.

Do you think anything will ever feel like home again?

"Sanctuary" is a word which here means a small, safe place in a troubling world.

Like an oasis in a vast desert or an island in a stormy sea.

The Baudelaires enjoyed their evening in the sanctuary they built together.

I see it, I see it.

But in their hearts they knew the troubling world lay outside.

Like this.

A world, which I'm sad to say, can be described in two dismal words.

Custody granted.

Thank you, Your Honour. Nice doing business with you.

Children, I've been contemplating our situation and I realise that I've been a bit standoffish, shall we say?

Which in this case is a big, big word meaning...

Pure evil.

...tough but fair.

But now that we're family, I can make it up to you.

I can be the ultimate dad.

I know. Let's stop for a treat.

Soda. Soda. Banana.

Bite me.

Got it.

Violet.

Where'd the locks go?

Hello. I'm going on a perfectly innocent ride in the country with my kids, whom I love.

Is that clock correct?

What is it?

I think it's a schedule.

Kiwi Watermelon Surprise. My favourite.

Go!

He took the keys.

Try everything.

Chit-chattery chipmunks all singing

Count Olaf? Hello. Poe.

I'm calling about that inheritance question you raised.

Thank goodness. Who is this?

It's Violet. We're in Count Olaf's car.

Hello, Violet. Where's Count Olaf?

He's not here right now, but... You're driving the car alone?

The car is on the train tracks and the train is coming.

I'm sorry, Violet, I can't hear a thing. I'm driving next to a train!

We're going to be hit by a train.

Right. Yes. I can't hear because of the train!

I'll call you back when I get to the bank! Goodbye!

Klaus, you've read books on trains.

What do we do?

Track switcher.

There!

It's too far away. No.

There has to be something we can use to pull it.

There's nothing in here. There's always something.

Sunny, bite the head off that elf.

Love to!

Quick, pull it back in.

Violet. I got it.

I don't mean to rush you.

Nice shot. Thank you. Pull.

Mr Poe. Dear Mr Poe.

Can't we discuss this like reasonable men?

I'm sorry, but allowing a child of Sunny's age to drive a car is not good parenting.
