BEN:

Neat.

Look at this.

Look.

(Jamie chuckles)

JAMIE:

This is cool. Ha.

Wow.

(blowing)

(chuckles)

-(whispering):
Hey.

-Hmm?

Check this out.

Hey, little guy.

JAMIE (whispers loudly):

Ben.

-Huh?

-Ben.

Come on.

Let's go.

Jamie, what is all this stuff?

Shh.

Secrets.

Come on.

(no audio)

-BEN:
Open it! -JAMIE: What?

BEN:
Come on, the file.

-Hmm?

-Open it up.

-The wolves.

-Whoa.

JAMIE:

That is so cool.

BEN:

"February '65."

That's the year

before I was born.

JAMIE:

Whoa.

BEN:

Whoa.

Yeah. Wow.

-Aurora.

-Nice.

Hmm.

Look at this one.

(Ben breathing heavily)

What? What is it?

It's my house.

"Miss Elaine Wilson."

That's my mom.

"Dear Miss Wilson,

"I will be spending

a few months in Gunflint Lake,

"researching a new diorama

for the museum.

"As the town librarian,

"I hope you can help me

with this research.

"Please contact me

at the address above.

"Thank you very much,

Daniel Lobel."

Daniel Lobel.

This has to be my dad.

Your father,

maybe he still remembers him.

You have to ask him

in the morning.

Yeah. Yeah, I will.

BEN:

"I've... never... shown...

"anyone... the museum...

...before."

Hmm.

-Hmm.

-But I like it here.

I don't have a room

at my dad's place.

Oh, hold on.

I think you'll like this.

("Fox on the Run"

by The Sweet begins)

Oh.

I forgot.

It's okay, keep it on.

My mom had one like this.

I can feel the vibrations.

SINGER:

I...

Don't want to know your name

'Cause you don't look the same

-"F."

-The way you did

-"R."

-Before

-"I."

-Okay, okay

-Hmm. -You think you got

a pretty face

"E."

"N."

Mm...

"D." "Friend." Cool.

SINGER:

You looked all right before

(Jamie sings high-pitched note)

-(humming along to song)

-Fox on the run

You scream

And everybody comes a-running

-(humming along)

-Take a run and hide...

(no audio)

(pigeons cooing quietly)

Ahh!

(yells)

(coughing)

Ben, Ben.

-(gasps)

-Ben.

-(groaning)

-Wake up!

-(grunts)

-Come on.

Come on.

-What?

-Look.

BEN:
It's the same.

It's the same.

We're in

the Cabinet of Wonders.

How did this happen?

Why did my father

have this book?

Why was there a picture

of my house

in that file?

What's going on?

What?

What?

The bookstore? It's gone.

"I tried to tell you.

"It just moved.

"I didn't know...

you were deaf yet."

What do you mean?

You knew I was trying

to find my father.

That's why I went to Kincaid's

in the first place.

Why would you wait until now?

(voice breaking): Because

I don't have any friends.

What?

What?!

"I wanted...

"to show...

you stuff."

"I wanted to show you stuff"?

What does that mean?

-I was afraid

if you found your father -What?
