No... Little Bear?

- He is dead.

- He's dead? I killed him?

He is old. His days are done.

- We must bury him.

- Bury him? Us? Here?

Yes. You never had a dead man here?

Do people die here?

- People die. We just don't see them.

- How do you not see them?

Come down here, please.

Can't I just send him back?

You are afraid of him?

A dead man?

You are a child. Yes, send him back.

- What if he was alone?

- Then he is alone!

Where were you?

Guiding my nephew through the woods

to live alone and learn to be a man.

You should not do magic

you do not understand!

Omri, now!

Send him back.

He would want to be back.

Are you mad at me?

What did you do with them?

- I buried them.

- My saw blades? Why?

Those are my things.

I work with them. I need them.

What do you want me do to?

We'll go to Yapp's and buy a set.

Come on.

I can go alone. It's a block away.

You don't need to go with me

like I'm a baby.

I've been before.

You just didn't know.

What did you get? Let me see.

What is this junk? Give me the money.

You! Come back!

You don't deserve that hair!

Look. I got this guy

to go with your Indian.

Patrick. Omri? Are you OK?

Omri, are you sure you're OK?

- This thing is incredible.

- Get your hands out of the way.

Where do you think he got this?

Look how small it is.

- What are you looking at?

- This is incredible.

How did you make this?

Don't bring that rat in here.

I found him in here, Beavis, and

my figures and my magnifying glass.

- What else do you have that's mine?

- That thing was in here?

This is great. Dad should see this.

I want you both to leave my room now.

Jeez, temperamental.

- You got to promise me...

- What?

Little Bear, where are you?

What are we looking for?

Here!

It's all right. You can come out.

- I heard them and I ran.

- That was good.

- They are enemies?

- Brothers.

Brothers?

Those brothers took my house!

I am in the dark here.

Send me back. I want to go back.

But I brought my friend to meet you.

Patrick, Little Bear.

Another Great Spirit?

Make another little man?

No. No more men.

- Little Bear, will you come out?

- No. You come in.

- This is the plastic Indian?

- Not plastic any more.

- How did you do that?

- The cupboard.

Show me.

Put a plastic thing in and lock it.

If it's a person,

the person is alive.

They're real people.

They can even be real dead people.

- I want to make one.

- Never!

- It's a huge responsibility.

- I'm a responsible person.

Omri, I'm down here.

- Don't touch the cupboard.

- OK.

I mean it, Patrick.

It means a lot to me.

Thank you. I heard.

Can I see your arm? Yeah.

You all right?

You need to wash that.

- It's not much.
