James and the Giant Peach1996

Aunt Sponge:
Hello, little angel.

Aunt Spiker:
So kind of you to look after our little lost lamb.

Cop:
Who are you?

Aunt Spiker:
We are the boy's legal guardians.

Aunt Sponge:
We've missed him so much.

Aunt Spiker:
So we'll be taking him home now.

Aunt Sponge:
And the peach, of course. We're taking that as well.

Cop:
Well, wait a minute. Back up. You mean to tell me that this thing is a peach?

Aunt Spiker:
It's not a peach. It's our peach.

Aunt Sponge:
Our peach.

Aunt Spiker:
Show him, Spongy.

Aunt Sponge:
Yes. [shows the cop a picture of her and Spiker with the giant peach]

Cop:
Looks like it's their peach all right.

Aunt Spiker:
Yes! Yes. And we're very proud of it.

Aunt Sponge:
We're going to be in the record book.

James:
It's not their peach. The old man gave the green things to me. That's what made it grow.

Aunt Sponge:
[Shocked and angry with what James had just said] How dare you disagree with us!

Aunt Spiker:
[Places her hand on Sponge's shoulder, holding Sponge back] Patience, sister. Remember his... condition.

Cop:
His condition?

Aunt Sponge:
He's a chronic liar.

Aunt Spiker:
Sad, really. He needs his treatment.

Aunt Sponge:
Well, that's why we're here; to bring him home. So, you come here with us. Hey, Lovey!

[Sponge and Spiker maliciously try to get to James but he climbs up to the truck to get away.]

James:
I'm not the one who's lying. They are!

Aunt Spiker:
As you can see, Officer, it is urgent that you release him to us immediately.

Old Man:
LET THE BOY SPEAK!

[The crowd utters in agreement.]

Cop:
Alright, alright, alright! Let's get to the bottom of this! This thing is a peach. Now, all right. I'll buy that. Now, does someone wanna tell me how it got here?

James:
We attached it to a hundred seagulls.

Aunt Spiker:
Seagulls? [laughs with the crowd]

James:
That's what happened! Me and Miss Spider and the Centipede and the Old Green Grasshopper.

Aunt Sponge:
[laughs with the crowd] I think he's gone mad.

Aunt Spiker:
This is all something he dreamed up.

James:
Well, maybe it started that way, as a dream, but didn't everything? Those buildings, these lights, this whole city! Somebody had to dream about it first, and maybe that's what I did. I dreamed about coming here, but then I did it!

Aunt Spiker:
The poor boy needs his medicine. Yes. So, we'll just take him...

Aunt Sponge:
And the peach.

Aunt Spiker:
Back to our cozy little house on the hill. Come along. You're going home with us.

James:
[firmly] No, I'm not.

[Aunt Spiker tilts her head back in a disturbing way and her smile melts into a scowl]

Aunt Spiker:
[through clenched teeth] What did you say?

James:
I said: [enunciating] NO... I'M... NOT!! I hate that house, and that cold room, and how I was always hungry.

Aunt Spiker:
All right! That's enough!

James:
And how you beat me!

Aunt Sponge:
[the crowd gasps] He's lying!

Woman:
They beat him up?!

Boy:
They beat him?!

James:
And told me I was nothing!

Aunt Sponge:
Shut up!

Aunt Spiker:
Shut up!

Aunt Sponge:
Shut up!

James:
NO! Not this time! I flew the peach across the ocean. I landed on top of the tallest building in the world. [turns to Spiker and Sponge] I MADE IT! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S NOTHING, YOU ARE! AND I'M NEVER GOING BACK WITH YOU! NOT ME AND NOT THE PEACH!!!!

Aunt Spiker:
[enraged] HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO US THIS WAY!!

[Sponge and Spiker grab fire axes and take swings at James. The officer repeatedly blows his whistle to keep the crowd under control]

Mr. Grasshopper:
James, up here!

Glowworm:
Hello, we are here! [A green light shines down from above.]

Mr. Centipede:
Hey, buddy!

Aunt Sponge:
What are they?

Glowworm:
Young James!

Mr. Centipede:
Hey, Jimmy!

Aunt Spiker:
Bugs!

Mr. Centipede:
Need a little help down there?

Aunt Sponge:
Giant bugs! [she and Spiker scream]

Mr. Centipede:
Hey, you old biddies! [blows raspberry]

Aunt Sponge:
Help! Help us! [but the crowd ignores them as they are too busy watching the sudden appearance of James' bug friends]

Mrs. Ladybug:
Whoo-ee! Here we are, dear!

Earthworm:
Hello, James!

James:
I told you they were real!

Mr. Grasshopper:
Hello, old boy!

Miss Spider:
Requesting clearance to land!
