The first 200 lines.
For days I'd been hunting the Shadow Monster.
I knew it was my last chance.
I had to catch it, before something dreadful happened.
The monster had -
- possessed its victims, one by one -
- and made them do terrible things.
But due to my special power -
- I could sense the monster, before I could see it.
And so I succeeded, in the nick of time -
in getting it.
- Did the monster die? - No.
You can't kill a shadow monster.
So what did you do?
The only thing you can do. I froze it.
Stop filling their heads with nonsense. They'll get nightmares.
It's not nonsense. Grandpa really was a monster buster. Right?
- What did you do with the monster? - Put it in the freezer.
Bummer! Nothing but ice cream and schnapps.
Listen, I put it in a special deep freezer.
Only Chicken over there and I know where.
- Cut it out! They believe you. - I don't.
Wuss!
Lasse, leave Oliver alone. It's great to be able to be afraid.
But he's 12! He should get a grip!
What good is a scared big brother?
Being a daredevil isn't brave at all.
- Dinner's served. - Sit down. Oliver, bring a chair.
Yummy.
It's not fair to make the guests cook the meal.
It's not fair we have to eat this.
Organic rye pudding is good for you.
This morning I ran my 20 kilometers in 68 minutes flat.
How stupid. The baker's right around the corner.
- Grandpa, are you okay? - Sure, I'm fine.
Tom, tell him to stop. He's scaring the boys.
- Stop it, Dad. - He's just kidding. Right, Grandpa?
- He's not kidding. - I don't feel well.
- Grandpa! - Call an ambulance.
Breathe. Are you okay?
MONSTER BUSTERS
- Yeah, they have to run a lot of tests.
So we're staying in his giant house and babysitting his cat. Cool!
You can turn the sound way up when you watch horror movies.
Hide! Philip's coming!
- Hi, girls. - Phew! He didn't see us.
- Why don't you stand up to him? - Are you crazy?
Then we're dead meat.
If I were the big brother, I'd show him!
Luna, it's going to be fine.
- Bye. - Bye, sweetie.
- Cool. What are you gonna wear? - It's just a school party.
- Don't you want to score? - You aren't going to score.
How do you know?
Before we begin -
- I'd like to introduce your new class mate.
- Tell the class about yourself. - My name is Luna. Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
We just moved here, me and my dad.
I like reading books. I play the cello.
"I play the cello." Funky!
You can sit down now.
Well, kids. This is it.
Put on your safety glasses.
Glasses on. For remember:
- Better safe... - Than sorry.
Gee, kids. This experiment is really dangerous.
But I lose my nerve.
Whenever I get insecure, I lose my nerve.
What if you had to do something that scared you?
I can't.
Is it like someone is controlling you?
But no one is, Soeren.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Okay, I think we'll call it a day.
- Phew! - See you tomorrow.
Whoops, better get those with you. Bye.
Peacekeepers keep their diet.
Calling all cars.
A wrong-way vehicle has been sighted on the highway.
Copy that, over.
That's a code 438, if ever I heard one.
Torben, do we know our code 438?
Sure...
- Just take your time. - A code 438 is...
- A wrong-way vehicle. - And?
- Failure to observe signs. - Yes.
We have to go, Torben.
There.
- And we're going to drive fast, but ...- Carefully.
- Exactly! Way to go. - Unit 49, what's keeping you?
We're on our way, over and out.
There are nuts and fresh carrot sticks in the fridge, if you need a snack.
- Don't hesitate to call us. - Relax. What could happen?
- It's your first time alone here. - No problemos.
Grandpa sends his love. He's okay.
- He's looking forward to seeing us. - So am I.
Have fun, boys. Look after your big brother.
Look after your little brother.
Bye, dear. Remember, don't hesitate to call. We're right...
Don't invite too many chicks over, okay?
This one or this one?
This one or this one?
- You're not allowed to watch them. - So what? We're home alone.
- That means I'm in charge. - You're such a funk.
Why can't you play Warcraft like everyone else your age?
Help me make a den.
Gonna make room for a makeup table and a Barbie play corner too?
- What's that? - Don't know. Move the chair.
- Hey, maybe it's a monster dungeon. - Yeah right, Lasse.
Wow!
- Want to go down? - We'd better ask Grandpa first.
Look.
Lasse, look. It's Grandpa as a young man.
And here. He's in all of them.
Cool. I told you. Grandpa was a monster buster.
Or maybe this is where he makes up all his stories.
DO NOT EVER OPEN OR TURN OFF!
That's where Grandpa hides the shadow monster.
The shadow monster isn't real.
Well, open the freezer then.
He must have had a reason for putting up that sign.
- He wants to preserve something. - His first snowball?
We're not going to touch it.
Look at these awesome weapons.
How did you know that was going to happen? You had your back turned.
I don't know. I was just lucky, I guess.
Morning, boys.
- Ready for a new day? - When are we going to visit Grandpa?
- Tomorrow. - Yes!
Gee.
Lasse wants to hear some more monster stories.
- Okay. - Stop that, honey.
Better in here, where we're together.
Why does your grandpa have a secret basement?
- What are you whispering about? - Nothing.
I'm going to find out.
- Scared, Ollie? - Listen up, kids.
The queen ant has a noticeably large abdomen.
There's only room for one queen ant in an anthill.
When the anthill reaches a certain size, something happens. What?
- Marcus? - Nerd!
- She produces flying ants. - That's right. How?
She mates to produce more queens.
I didn't know Marcus was an expert on ant porn.
Marcus is perfectly right.
In one night, a single queen like that can produce thousands of new queens.
How did you find the basement?
- He can hear us. - I heard you.
- Great! - Sorry.
- Where's that secret basement at? - Don't tell him.
Okay, you know the drill.
That's it, rub it in, Ollie. You look so much better.
It really suits you.
You're good enough to eat now.
Why doesn't your big brother resist?
- Got any fries to go with that? - Zip it, Barbie!
Let's go. What a bunch of nerds.
Hi. Are you okay?
- Let's go home to my place. - Haven't you got scouts?
Never mind.
Lasse, you have to go home alone.
Look out before you cross the street.
- Where are you going? - To talk to Philip.
- What do you want? - Leave my big brother alone.
- What's in it for me? - My allowance.
- Not enough. - What then?
Show me the basement, and I'll think about it.
- I can't. - Then I can't promise you anything.
- What does he take me for? - Promise to leave him alone then?
Sure. A deal's a deal.
- What a load of junk. - It's not junk, it's equipment.
My grandpa used to be a monster buster.
- And my grandma was a Zulu king. - It's true!
He's got a monster trapped in the freezer. That's why you can't open it.
- You believe in Santa too? - A little.
- Don't! - Shut up.
- It's dangerous! - Get lost, Lasse.
What the hell is that?
It's a monster.
Drop the fairytale crap. Do you see any monster?
- There is something there. - Sure, some old leftovers from WW2.
You'll leave Oliver alone now, right?
Sure, I'll leave Oliver alone.
- For the rest of the day. - But we had a deal.
I said I'd leave him alone, but not for how long.
It's been a blast. Especially your grandpa's frozen old lunch.
See ya, Lasse.
Yuck!
- Bedtime, boys. - The movie isn't over yet.
- So what? They're kissing. - You have a big day tomorrow.
- Why? - The parent-teacher interview.
Don't think of it as an exam.
It's meant to help Dad and me help you, if you have any problems.
In that case, get a pumpgun and a shampoo that removes relish.
I promise I won't be late from work -
- so you don't have to be embarrassed by your lame parents.
- Great. - Off to bed.
- I'll tuck you in. - I'll be up to kiss you goodnight.
L-U-N-A.
