BOBBY: Daddy!

DAD: Are you going up?

MOM: I went last time.

BOBBY: Daddy!

DAD: All right.

BOBBY: Daddy!

DAD: I'm coming, Bobby.

I'm coming.

BOBBY: Hurry!

Dad.

DAD: What seems to be the problem, sport?

BOBBY: It was a monster.

A big green monster with lots of arms.

It was the same one I saw before.

DAD: Bobby, we've talked about this before.

There's no such thing as monsters.

BOBBY: No daddy, it's true.

There is a monster, and he's this big.

DAD: Now Bobby--

BOBBY: It's true dad, and it says it's going to get me.

DAD: That's not going to happen.

Your mom and I are just downstairs, and we're not

going to let anything happen to you.

BOBBY: But--

DAD: No buts.

You're a big boy now.

You need to stop being afraid of the dark.

Monsters don't appear just because the light goes out.

Goodnight son.

I'll see you in the morning.

Remember, you're perfectly safe.

Are you OK?

-The [INAUDIBLE], young in years though he may be--

possesses a rare quality of charisma.

And the crew of the August, having known him only minutes,

loved him like a comrade.
