Stephanie Page #2

---

you know that?

Not really.

Really, I'm pretty scared.

What do you think?

For the monster?

Yes.

Do you think it's strong

enough to keep it out?

Well,

it's pretty good anyway.

Thanks.

I think so, too.

I like it

when you build stuff.

Is that so?

Mm-hmm.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What happened to Mr. Hopper?

Well, he...

Honey!

Can you come inside

for a minute?

Yeah.

You stay here.

Clear.

Clear?

Crystal.

You stay here.

Clear?

Clear? Okay.

So what's Atlanta

saying about the new protocols?

The CDC

has no comment at this time.

You've seen the news.

The president...

is weighing all options.

There are rumors online

that they've had some success

at the containment facility

in Mumbai.

Yeah, rumors but...

what's going on?

Jane, I've never seen you

like this.

Are Paul and Stephanie okay?

It's cool.

It's impossible not to worry

about all of our kids.

Look, can you talk me through

the isolation protocol?

Three!

Two! One! Popcorn!

Done! Bam!

Eh-eh-eh!

Eh-eh-eh.

Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot.

Ah, sh*t.

- Dad!

- Oh! Sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.

Fantastic.

Salt!

Good. Taste.

Good.

Give me some love.

You almost done

with that fence?

Probably tomorrow.

Good.

Ah, so they tell me.

Steph, what's Francis doing?

Dancing.

Oh baby, turtles can't dance.

Don't listen to her, Francis.

Show her your special dance.

His special... Oh!

Oh!

That is not a special dance!

That is tickle!

Oh, Francis,

you're Fran-tastic.

I don't get it.

I do!

I don't get it.

- Francis is Fran-tastic.

- Francis into fantastic.

But the word is fantastic.

Fantastic. It's not Fran-tastic.

It's Fran-tastic.

Be right back.

Okay.

Why, baby. Why?

It's okay, it's okay.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

I know.

Take your time.

- Shh, shh, shh, shh.

- I got you.

I got you.

Come on. Come on.

How did Paul come back?

Did the monster bring him?

Yes.

Why?

We don't really know why it does

any of the things it does.

Maybe we should leave.

I think it would just

come after us, princess.

After me?

Yes.

It wants me, right?

That's why

it keeps coming back.

Yes.

You used to say there's

no such thing as monsters.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

May I be excused?

Hey, princess.

Hey, Dad.

Can we talk?

Your mother's sorry

for losing her temper.

- No big deal.

- Mmm, no, it is a big deal.

All of us have to watch

what we do, how we feel.

You included.

Because that will make

the monster come.

Mm-hmm.

We didn't mean to upset you.

And that's why

we didn't wake you up

when we took Paul away.

And maybe that was wrong,

I don't know.

Parents aren't perfect.

That's the sad truth.

Why did you leave me here?
