The Iron Giant Page #4

I'll get you evidence.

And when I do, I'm gonna want

a memo distributed.

That sounds swell.

I'll want that memo carbon-copied

and redistributed--

Hi. Thanks for the use of your phone.

Thank you for the use

of your phone, Mrs...?

Hughes. Annie Hughes.

And this is my son, Hogarth.

Thank you, Annie. Hobart.

That's Hogarth!

What an embarrassing name.

Might as well call him Zeppo.

What kind of a sick person

would name a kid Hogar--?

Hog Hug.

Hogarth Hughes!

Kent Mansley.

You work for the government.

I wasn't gonna say that.

I have something for you, Hogarth.

Your BB gun. Where did you find that?

Up at the power station.

- Hogarth was out there the other night.

- Really?

See anything unusual, Hogarth?

Nothing...

...unusual, really.

Gotta use the bathroom.

Strange he's so tightlipped. The other

night he couldn't stop talking.

I mean, 100-foot robots and whatnot.

A hundred-foot robot?

That's nutty!

What else did he say?

No, wait, stop!

Excuse me.

What is going on in there?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You know, this sort of thing is

why it's so important...

...to really chew your food.

A little privacy?!

Sorry.

Sorry.

He's been acting strange lately.

That hurt.

Thank you again, Annie.

Good night, Hogarth. I'm sure

we'll see each other again real soon.

If you're gonna stay here...

...you gotta keep better track

of yourself.

Anyway, I thought you'd like,

you know, a bedtime story or something.

I've got some really cool ones.

Mad Magazine, very funny.

The Spirit, very cool.

Boy's Life ?

Oh, here.

This guy is Superman.

Sure, he's famous now...

...but he started off just like you.

Crash-landed on Earth.

Didn't know what he was doing.

But he only uses his powers for good,

never for evil.

Remember that.

That's Atomo, the metal menace.

He's not the hero. He's the villain.

He's not like you.

You're a good guy.

Like Superman.

Superman.

You're hungry, aren't you?

But I don't have any metal here.

Just follow me.

Pick me up, okay?

Okay, now, march!

Oh, yeah. That's Rockwell.

Nice place, huh?

Rockwell?

Yes, I was born right down there.

Rockwell!

No, stop! Look out for the cow!

Come on, no, not there!

Please stop. No, stop!

We can't go there yet.

People just aren't ready for you.

That was close.

We can't go running around

like that, okay?

Look!

I guess that would be okay to eat.

It's been there for months.

We gotta hide!

You know, hide?

It's when you--

You know, when you--

Just get behind something, quick!

Don't move.

Our troubles are over.

This is it.

All you can eat.

Turn it off!

Come on, turn it off!

All right, who's out there?

I know you. Squirrel boy.
