Look at this. Hang on to this.

I got this, and this, all right.

- Okay.

- Come on.

Here you are, my good man. Recycle.

Here, wait a minute.

I got my magic opener.

Come on, honey.

Limbo! How low can you go?

- You don't have to be quiet.

- Is all this yours?

Uh-huh. Come in. Let me see

what I can do with this.

CYNDl:

It's so nice.

Come here, beautiful. Come on.

God, look at you!

- I love your body.

- I like yours too.

- I used to be fat.

- I bet you were real cute.

Not just fat, but a butterball.

You bet your fern I was.

We used to say that as kids,

"You bet your fern." But I was f-a-t.

- No.

- Yeah.

[PHONE RINGS]

I hear bells.

I'll be right back.

- Hello.

MIKE:
Haystack, it's me, Mike.

PUNK 1:

You're dead, fat boy.

PUNK 2:

It's payback time, piggy.

PUNK 1:

You're gonna die, fat boy.

PUNK 2:

Hey, fat boy!

[LAUGHING]

MIKE:

Ben? Ben, are you there?

- Mike?

- Yeah, buddy. Listen.

It's come back.

How much do you remember?

How much do you remember?

Very little. Almost nothing.

Will you come?

I'll come.

Are you okay?

I don't think I am, sweetheart.

Not tonight. Not at all.

Are you gonna kill yourself?

I don't think so.

Though it might be better if I did.

[MOTOR WHIRS]

YOUNG BEN:

My name is Ben Hanscom.

Until last week,

I lived with my mom in Houston.

- We moved here to live with my cousins.

- Look at that gut.

[BELCHES]

Go on, Ben. Have you any hobbies?

I like to read.

Especially about old civilizations...

...the Egyptians, the Indians.

We have a wonderful library here, Ben.

Welcome to Derry.

- Thank you, Miss Douglas.

HENRY:
Oink, oink!

What a porker.

Henry, you will stay an hour

after school each day this week.

- My dad will tan my hide.

- You should have thought of that.

Now, report to the principal's office.

You're dead, fat boy.

Boy, It's gonna be

some funeral, friend.

Now, class...

...as you know, the sheriff

has instituted a 7 p.m. Curfew.

We live in dangerous times, boys

and girls. I want you to be careful.

You going to stand there all day?

- School's over.

- Excuse us. Can we get through?

Honestly, some people have no class.

RONNIE:

Some people have janitors for parents.

Well...

...so long, Ben Hanscom.

I'm Beverly Marsh.

See you tomorrow, Beverly.

Beverly Marsh. Beverly Marsh.

- Look, it's the fat boy.

- Top of the day, fat boy.

- What do you want?

- To teach you something, porky.

You like to learn, don't you?

- I want you to remember my name.

- I will, Henry.

How am I gonna make sure?

Hey, Henry.

- Don't really cut him.

- Cut him, huh?

Cut him?

- Let's see. First comes...

BEN:
Oh, God.

HENRY:

You're gonna die! I'll bury you!
