Tuck Everlasting Page #3

There's no reason

to be frightened, young lady.

I caught her at the spring

with Jesse.

She's a Foster.

Oh, Lord.

It's finally happened.

I want to go home, please.

I want to go home.

There, there, child.

Please don't cry.

We're not bad people.

We'll take you home

just as soon as we can.

I promise.

Miles, go find your father.

He's across the lake.

He'll know what to do with her.

Tell Jesse I'm going to fix

that mouth of his.

I've heard that.

Have you?

It's, it's my little music box.

I found it

in the forest one day.

Just waiting for me, I expect.

I've had it a long, long time.

Oh!

I put my baby boys

to bed with it every night.

Gave 'em such sweet dreams.

I'm sure my boys

didn't mean you any harm.

Then why did they bring me here

this way?

Why am I here?

You have every right

to be upset.

And I know your family

must be...

worried sick about you.

Where's the child?

She's no child... Angus.

Does she know?

Why do you think

I brought her...?

Yeah, but now she knows

about us, thanks to you.

Shh! Shh!

She's a Foster,

she only knows...

Know what?

Miss Foster,

this is my husband, Angus Tuck.

Angus, meet Miss Foster.

Hello, Miss Foster.

She's the most important event

that's taken place in this house

in 80 years.

You hungry?

Oh, well, let's, let's all eat.

Yeah.

Jesse, pass your mother

a plate, please?

Mmm, where's the fish?

Oh, they weren't biting

for some reason.

'Cause Pa can't fish?

Don't matter. There's plenty.

I catch fish.

If there's no fish,

there's no fish

if you keep scaring

the fish away.

Mmm, this looks good.

Oh! Isn't this nice?

Everybody sitting down together

and having Miss Foster here.

It's just like having a party.

My father will come looking

for me.

Your father... will cut down

the entire forest

the way things are changing

around here.

Make himself a very rich man.

Oh, now, let's not ruin

a perfectly good meal

with a lot of talk.

My father has plenty of money.

He'll pay.

Anything you want.

We don't want your father's

money, Miss Foster.

Then let me go home.

We will.

We'll let you go home...

just like I promised.

Directly.

We'll need to be able

to trust her first

before we're sending her

back to her folks.

Trust her? We can't trust her.

Or any normal people.

She'll turn on us in a second.

No, she won't.

You're a fool.

You don't even realize

what you've done here.

Him.

It's him.

Robert!

I expect you to find her, Henry.

That's your job.

I've already wired her

description down the main line.

They'll keep a lookout

and we'll get up a search party

come morning.

My wife is certain that this man

wearing a yellow suit

has something to do
