The Iron Giant Page #2

Once in a while, things happen...

...that can't be rationalized

in a conventional way.

People wanna know that

their government has a response.

I am that response.

So were there any witnesses?

Well, sir, if you'll just follow me.

We did find this.

United States Government, huh?

Guess that means something big's

happening here, eh?

No, Marv. Big things happen

in big places.

The sooner I fill out my report,

the sooner I can get back to them.

Enormous beast, yeah....

Biggest thing here is probably

the homecoming queen.

Oh, my God!

Come on, I need a witness.

- It's around the corner.

- Don't pull so hard.

It's like a big "chomp"

out of the side of the car.

It's like a bite

out of a ham sandwich, like a--

What are we looking at here,

Mr. Manley?

Something big, Marv.

Something big.

Hello!

Come out!

Hey, big metal guy,

I got food here for you!

Metal!

Crunchy, delicious metal!

Come and get it!

So I guess you're

not gonna hurt me, huh?

The shutoff switch.

You saw me save you.

So where are you from?

You came from the sky, right?

From up there?

Don't you remember anything?

Maybe it's that bump on your head.

Do you talk?

You know, words? "Blah, blah, blah,"

like that? Can you do that?

Well, you get the idea anyway.

Let's see.

See this? This is called a rock.

Rock.

Good.

That is a tree.

Rock. Tree.

Get it?

That's right!

My own giant robot.

I am now the luckiest kid in America!

This is unbelievable.

This is the greatest discovery since,

I don't know, television or something.

I gotta tell someone. I should call--

No, they'll panic.

People wig out and shoot when

they see something big like you.

Wig out. It means crazy.

You know, like....

No, no! Don't do that!

That's the stuff

that makes them shoot at you.

Two nights ago, at approximately

...detected an unidentified object

entering Earth's atmosphere...

...losing contact with it 2 1/2 miles

off the coast of Rockwell.

Some assumed it was a large meteor

or a downed satellite.

But Washington received

a call from someone...

...who reported an actual encounter

with the object.

This is no meteor, gentlemen.

This is something much more serious.

We can't call Ripley's Believe It Or Not

because they wouldn't believe it.

And....

It's getting dark.

And if I don't get home soon...

...Mom's gonna wonder where I am.

If she comes looking for me

and sees you...

...then we got

the screaming problem again.

So for now, would you,

you know, just...

...just stay here, okay?

I'll come back tomorrow.

Goodbye.

No, no.

Me go.

You stay.

No following.

Good.

I told you!

I'll come back tomorrow!

Now, stay!
