Just don't tell Daddy.

Well, what if we wait until

Oliver's ready to tell him?

Promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Get some sleep.

I love you.

Good night.

Good night.

Sleep tight.

And don't let

the bedbugs bite.

(GASPS)

(TOY CHIMES)

Okay.

Okay, let's see

where we left off.

(SNIFFLES)

"Directly in front of him,

"holding on by a low branch,

"stood a naked brown baby

who could just barely walk,

"as soft and as

dimpled a little atom

"as ever came to

a wolf's cave at night."

- Whoa.

- (LAUGHS)

Hey, sweetheart.

I was just coming

to find you.

Did I miss saying

good night to Luce?

Oh, it's okay.

I kissed her good night for you.

Okay.

Sorry I was late.

Mmm. It's okay.

Are you all right?

You're trembling.

- I don't know.

- What's going on?

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm good.

I'm really, really good.

Good.

OLIVER:
Hello?

Hello?

OLIVER:
Hello?

Oliver, where are you?

(CHILD LAUGHS)

(GROWLING)

(GASPS)

MICHAEL:
What's going on?

What happened?

What happened, baby?

Are you all right?

It's a dream. Just a dream.

- Sorry.

- Are you okay?

Yeah.

LUCY:
Mommy!

Mommy!

MARIA:
What is it, baby?

Chil and Bill are dead.

What?

Oh, no,

I'm so sorry.

The gardener found all the

fish dead in the pond.

And all the plants are dying.

Can we bury Chil

and Bill in the sea?

In the sea?

Piki said people in India

get buried in the sea.

Of course. Yes, we can.

How about you go get

something to bury them in?

LUCY:
You should

have worn white.

MARIA:
I wore a white scarf.

That's not enough?

LUCY:
No.

MARIA:
I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be rude to Chil and Bill.

It's a good spot right here.

LUCY:
Bye-bye, Chil.

Bye-bye, Bill.

Mommy, who's that man?

It's all right, baby.

He's far away.

Not that man, Mommy!

That man!

(CHANTING MANTRA)

Why did that man

put ash on your face?

I don't know, love.

Did I get it all?

Yeah, you got it.

Yeah?

(VEHICLES HONKING)

(LOCALS SPEAKING HINDI)

(CROWD SPEAKING HINDI)

Luce, stay behind me.

Right where you belong.

Okay, baby girl.

Let's get those nits out.
