Wonder Edit

A massive video camera also aids the situation.

A moving object will only change its speed or direction

A pillowcase of candy versus two weeks off school.

A punch line.

A teenage doctor helps.

A what?

About going to school, it was my idea, too.

About really important things. Okay?

Acted on by another force.

Activate the V 10 recorder.

Actually, I've got a question for Auggie.

After all the money that we have poured into this school?

All I did was get through fifth grade, just like everyone else here.

All right, everybody, let's go!

All right, go get 'em.

All right, I will. I will. Um, what is that?

All right, I'll let you have all my candy.

All right, let's settle down. Everybody settle down.

All right, now some of us are lucky enough to know each other. Yeah?

All right, people, single file.

All right? I'll go first.

All right.

All right. Everybody inside.

All right. I want you to close your eyes,

All right. Okay. Thank you. I will be right there.

All right. Who wants to read this month's precept?

All you have to do... is look.

Alright, kids! Let's give a big warm welcome to the William Heath School!

Always blows my mind how much Daddy looks like Patrick Swayze in this movie.

Amazing!

Amazing. Any questions for Julian?

Amos?

Amos.

An object in motion will stay in motion unless...

And as though we summoned him.

And by the end of summer, I was the most popular girl in camp.

And can you tell Via that I've missed her, too?

And couldn't wash his hands in time.

And don't worry, I got a couple wrong so Ms. Petosa wouldn't know.

And don't you think we would like to see him?

And dream about being in outer space, just like any ordinary kid.

And drive my big sister crazy.

And food. And coffee.

And for a few years even our family's spent Christmas together.

And from what your home school teacher tells me, you'll get first prize.

And hot baths. And sleeping.

And how I understood why everyone in camp

And I could choose anyone I wanted to hang out with, I would choose Auggie.

And I don't think it will be of any interest to a kid your age.

And I just said three things. Yeah. Sorry.

And I love you more than anything in the world.

And I need a better science teacher.

And I remembered how cool she is.

And I think it's cool how you're pursuing your dream.

And I wanted him to know that the world was bigger than his room.

And I won't have you gobbling like wolves.

And I'm actually really proud they thought of you for this.

And if you really wanna see what people are,

And in another world, I'd look like him.

And it's never ever ugly.

And Julian is the biggest phony on the planet.

And keep being the fine boy we all know you to be.

And my artistic hands are busy making meatloaf.

And my awesome dog named Daisy.

And my awesome little brother with a facial deformity.

And my mom does the most.

And my mom, well, she's busy not getting over that.

And my mom's in a funk.

And neither are these helmets.

And now he just follows me around everywhere.

And now he says he doesn't even wanna go trick or treating.

And now he's out there. And I didn't even know.

And now she doesn't like me anymore.

And number 2, we got a ping pong table this summer.

And Papa.

And people change.

And real friends are hard to find.

And rise above it. It's that easy.

And since I've never been to real school before,

And some even helped me look a bit better.

And that Julian is apparently quite the dream.

And the trouble is that both of my parents

And the word's "supposedly."

And then another way in front of kids?

And then I saw Via audition for the play.

And then in the spring, we have a science fair.

And then Mom tried to pick her up and Daisy bit her.

And then there was the nurse...

And this is the map that shows us where we've been.

And told them they had to be friends with me.

And two, I left Wall Street to pursue my dream and teach.

And waking up.

And watch Star Wars movies with him.

And we all deserve a standing ovation at least once in our lives.

And what I did, which fixed it almost immediately...

And when he was born, it only took me a few seconds and I was all over him.

And when someone acts small, you just have to be the bigger person, all right?

And you don't wanna walk up with your parents because it's not cool.

And you have me.

And you know it.

And you know they gave you a scholarship, right?

And you must be Auggie. What a pleasure to meet you.

And your grandmother's still cheerin' you on.

And, and others are new. Hi there.

And, oh, my God, everyone went crazy.

And, um...

And...

Any time light passes from one material or medium to another, it bends.

Anybody? No?

Anyone cheering you on tonight?

Anyone? Raise your hand

Anyway, have you ever heard of a spit bucket?

Archaeologists found these words inscribed

Are the things that matter most.

Are they gonna ask about my day?

Are you and Dad going?

Are you bored now that Auggie's in school?

Are you gonna take that, Mom?

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me? I cannot believe you just did that.

Are you okay, Auggie?

Are you supposed to be in the girls' dressing room?

As for me, I'd rather have my children healthy than bright.

At first, I admit it,

At leaving me alone my whole life.

Auggie got in a fight.

Auggie, Auggie, please, don't be mad.

Auggie, I am proud of you for sticking it out.

Auggie, I do believe that this is the best year for you to start school

Auggie, I'm sorry, but you're not the only one who has bad days.

Auggie, not everything in the world is about you.

Auggie, this is Jack Will, Julian, and Charlotte.

Auggie, you know if you need help you can ask for it.

Auggie, you okay?

Auggie, you're missing a great episode of Hoarders, right here.

Auggie, you're supposed to knock.

Auggie! Auggie! Auggie!

Auggie! Auggie! Auggie! Auggie! Auggie!

Auggie?

Auggie.

Auggie.

Auggie. Come on.

Auggie's always felt like my little brother.

August is the sun.

Aw, man, I need to pee.

Backwards or something.

Bad days? Do people avoid touching you?

Battin' a thousand today.

Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.

Because everybody is going to be new.

Because I have a surprise for you.

Because I want some nice friends for a change.

Because I'm afraid of Mom.

Because I'm your mom, it counts the most because I know you the most.

Because precepts can also tell us a lot about ourselves.

Because right now we're each other's best friends.

Because school sucks.

Because the whole school's there.

Because they think I'm contagious.

Because you're an only child. We have to stick together.

Bend over backwards for every single person in the world?

Besides, he was born like that, Mr. Tushman said.

Big Movie Saturday in the Broarwood Nature Reserve!

Blow out the candles. Ready? Take a big breath.

Boba Fett.

Boom, who's next?

Bow, kiss, begin.

Breakfast is just as good as any other meal.

Bring it in! Bring it in, people, let's go!

Bucket loads.

But first, wait, one more look.

But fourthly, now that I know him,

But he has a lot of angels looking out for him.

But he's ready.

But I came upon a passage that he wrote,

But I can maybe find it, if you need it back.

But I could sure use some help right now.

But I don't know how you'll respond.

But I love my brother and I'm used to the way this universe works.

But I was really just saying that to get you out of the house.

But I'd still rather not say why I did what I did.

But I'm really happy to be here.

But if you really don't wanna go...

But it's okay if you wanna stare, too.

But Jack, Amos and I had this science fair project idea

But kids aren't as good at hiding it.

But maybe she'll come tomorrow.

But Mom, it's summer vacation.

But my least favorite zone at school is courtyard.

But none of them have made me look ordinary.

But now I would choose to hang out with him.

But now my dad's busy with his new wife.

But on Halloween, I walk with my head up high.

But she is still great at drawing.

But she would've asked me about my parents and about camp.

But to really be funny, you need what all the best jokes have.

But two genes that are identical.

But what about your gray hair?

But what if we added water?

But when our friends come over and they see that picture,

But you can get snow on Halloween.

But you don't talk.

But you were liking school. I know you were.

But you'll get "the plague."

But you're cool.

But you're not.

But you're taking it, too, right?

But your teachers told Mr. Tushman you're known as a good egg.

Bye, Auggie.

Bye!

Bye.

Can anybody tell me what they mean?

Can anybody tell me what this word means?

Can I get some backup here?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Carry the gene at the same time, which is...

Chair.

Charlotte will just talk about Broadway the whole time.

Check.

Check.

Cheese!

Children, now I won't have it.

Christmas was awesome. We drove up into the mountains

Cinema history come to life.

Come in.

Come on, get ready.

Come on, how was your day?

Come on, let's go!

Come on, prep boy.

Come on, there's not one person

Come on!

Come on! You, it, a floppy...

Come on.

Come on. New month, new precept.

Congratulations.

Cool beans.

Copy.

Copy. Thank you.

Couple of losers stinkin' up the woods.

Daddy doesn't have his glasses on.

Daddy'll go. And I'm gonna stay here with you.

Daddy's gonna meet me there. Take care of your brother.

Daisy girl?

Daisy threw up again. Bucket loads.

Daisy,

Dear God, please, make them be nice to him.

Dear Mr. Tushman, I'm very sorry for punching Julian.

Dear Mr. Will, one thing I've learned in 20 years in education

Did Daisy really bite Mom?

Did someone say something?

Did you notice that Miranda doesn't come around any more?

Did you?

Do what?

Do you forgive me?

Do you know why Auggie stopped liking me?

Do you like it?

Do you like it?

Do you need some help, Mom?

Do you take requests?

Do you think the vet can fix her?

Do you wanna help me take back my corner office?

Do you wanna tell us yet how you felt about the tour?

Does he have a fever?

Does Mom know?

Does that merit a kiss? Come here.

Don't be afraid of anyone.

Don't worry about it.

Don't you ever stop talking?

Dude, he's been home schooled.

Dude, I don't want to switch.

Dude, that's even more gross.

Dude, this is after plastic surgery!

Dude, you have to say something.

Dude, you're bleeding.

Dude!

Dude!

Dude!

Earth to Auggie. We asked you a question.

Eat ice cream. Ride my bike.

Eat your breakfast.

Emily's understudy.

Er, mince that rosemary, please.

Er, no. It's a fiddle.

Er, um...

Especially because people don't like to touch me

Especially, me.

Even your dog agrees.

Every time I came home from the hospital, Daisy was here.

Every year that we wait, it'll just be harder to start.

Everybody find your seats? Yes?

Everybody get in here.

Everybody say "Merry Christmas"!

Everybody watching?

Everybody, hands up! Reach high! And...

Everyone makes the same face at first.

Ew, no!

Ew!

Excellent. Anybody else?

Except for dodgeball.

Except for science. Crush that one.

Excuse me, can you explain what's going on here?

Excuse me.

Feij... Mom's making feijoada.

Feijoada.

Fighting is bad, Auggie.

Final award this morning is the Henry Ward Beecher medal

Find your seats.

Finding our seats. Great.

Fine!

Fire.

First days suck, don't they?

First of all, you do get used to his face.

Follow me, you'll see.

For just one second and please listen?

For me, Halloween is the best holiday in the world.

For never giving up. On anything.

For what?

Four things I've learned about Auggie Pullman.

Get in there.

Ghostface.

Give a tour through the school.

Givin' me the eyes.

Glasses. Oh, no! I think I forgot my glasses.

Go away!

Go away.

Go, go, go. Okay. But just no kissing.

Good for you, Auggie.

Good how? Good like it was good?

Good night, honey.

Good night.

Good, right?

Good.

Good.

Good. And guess what? I got in a fight.

Good. Clear your desks. Pop quiz.

Good. Did you know I'm going to a regular school now?

Goodbye to clocks ticking.

Goodbye, Grover's Corners.

Goodbye. Goodbye, world.

Got any other questions?

Great. Thanks!

Great. Thanks.

Gummis, licorice, the Reese's, the Hersheys.

Guys, can you please...

Guys, stop it!

Guys, stop!

Guys, stop!

Guys, this is Auggie Pullman.

Ha! We did it. Did you make a wish?

Hand me down kid...

Happy birthday, honey.

Has carried up the most hearts.

Have an excellent mission and Godspeed.

Have fun.

Have the courage to say it, then I guess I will.

He didn't even know who I was. It's so cool.

He didn't talk to me.

He doesn't say anything.

He knows what an eraser is.

He probably feels badly about himself.

He said he doesn't want to go.

He said he'd kill himself if he looked like me.

He was so into outer space.

He will not be the only new kid.

He won't say. He won't come out of his room.

He's a freak!

He's ahead of me in everything.

He's asking for it and I've looked everywhere.

He's coming!

He's nauseous?

Hello?

Hello.

Her family's always been like my second family.

Her name's Summer.

Here you go. That's for you.

Here. See if you can find Via's name in there, honey.

Here's how it works.

Hey Darth Hideous, did you hear?

Hey, Auggie!

Hey, Auggie! You feeling better?

Hey, can I sit there?

Hey, Charlotte!

Hey, come on. Talk to me.

Hey, dude. You wanna go outside?

Hey, hey, hey. Why are we running in the hallway?

Hey, hey. What's your name?

Hey, it's okay. Hey, break a leg.

Hey, Jack, come sit here.

Hey, Julian, shut up.

Hey, look, there's Jack Will.

Hey, maybe a homeless guy wanted to go sledding.

Hey, maybe you could fail together.

Hey, Mom, is it okay if Jack comes over?

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Summer.

Hey, talkin' to you, Gollum.

Hey, Via.

Hey, what's wrong?

Hey, what's your problem?

Hey, where's Auggie?

Hey! Ah, you look good, too.

Hey! Leave him alone.

Hey! What did you do that for?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey. You okay?

Hi, I'm Justin.

Hi!

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Summer.

Hmm. Your stomach flu got better fast.

Holy crap! Look at his face!

Honey, I have to go, your brother just threw up at school.

Honey, just enjoy the play.

Honey, listen...

Honey, tell me what's going on with Miranda?

Honey, that was you.

How about you stay home from school tomorrow? Hmm?

How am I supposed to know what he knows?

How are the kids? Are they nice?

How are you?

How did you guys know we needed help?

How does it feel?

How have you been?

How was your day?

How was your first day of school?

How was your first day?

How's Auggie?

Hurry.

I act in TV commercials.

I auditioned for Annie on Broadway.

I can't wait till Halloween.

I can't.

I can't. I can't go on.

I cannot home school him forever.

I could've helped him. Maybe he could've helped me.

I didn't realize.

I didn't really understand why I was getting a medal.

I don't care what Jack Will says about Christmas.

I don't even know who that was.

I don't feel well. I think I might throw up.

I don't know about that.

I don't know how else to say it.

I don't know if she even realizes that

I don't know what you're talking about, Auggie.

I don't know why.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Something at school.

I don't like being accused of things, okay?

I don't think they would cheer for me anyway.

I dunno.

I get it. It's okay.

I got a job at a summer camp.

I got it! I got the part!

I got two callbacks for Molly, but I guess they went in a different direction.

I gotta go, too, now.

I had a friend in high school.

I hadn't realized what the play was

I hate it, okay? I hate it.

I hate that place!

I have a sister named Via and a dog named Daisy.

I have a wonderful memory.

I have these wrinkles here from your last surgery.

I have this wrinkle here from your first surgery.

I have, but ever since Halloween, he just won't talk to me.

I heard Jack Will talking about me behind my back.

I just did most of my studying in waiting rooms and hospitals.

I just don't like eating in front of people.

I just don't look ordinary when I'm doing these things.

I just knew my family couldn't take one more thing.

I just wish that one time, she would use it to look at me.

I kinda wanna tell them, "Hey, I know I look weird, but it's okay."

I know good friends are worth defending.

I know I am, but technically most dads aren't, so...

I know I'll never just be an ordinary kid.

I know I'm not an ordinary 10 year old kid.

I know my family loves me, but ever since my grandma died,

I know that I said that you could have all my candy,

I know Tushman talked to some kids before school started

I know Tushman talked to you.

I know we're supposed to be in pairs,

I know you are, Julian.

I know you don't always like it, but I love it.

I know you may need to expel me,

I know you.

I know, right? I left my old lightning sled up there last time I was up.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know. Okay. Thank you. Just get here.

I know. We're in the same homeroom.

I like Halloween, but Christmas is still the best holiday.

I literally had to ditch her at the traffic light.

I love Minecraft, science and dressing up for Halloween.

I love Star Wars.

I love that helmet. I wish I knew where it was.

I love to lightsaber fight with my dad.

I love you.

I love you.

I love your brother.

I mean were you in a car crash or something?

I mean, he's always reminded me of, like, the shrunken head, you know?

I mean, I do ordinary things.

I mean, if Chewbacca started going to school here one day,

I mean, there's nothing much to see. Desks. Chairs.

I mean, when you started you were still wearing

I mean, you get snow on Christmas.

I mean... You know what? I don't care. Sorry.

I miss you too, Miranda.

I missed your face.

I never got to see you anymore.

I never needed my dad to remind me to study for a test.

I promise you.

I said get outta my way!

I said I lived in a huge brownstone.

I said no!

I started playing this little make believe game with the girls in the camp.

I started when I was two.

I think I chew like some prehistoric swamp turtle.

I think it means that the things we do

I think it's safe to say the Pullman men are crushing it today.

I think these three are trust fund kid,

I think they were seventh graders. They were huge.

I think we lost 'em.

I thought you were at the library.

I threw up every night. You're gonna be fine.

I told you. I feel sick.

I try to pretend that it doesn't, but it does.

I usually walk with my head down to avoid being seen.

I wanna see it.

I want them to ask about our son.

I want you all to start thinking about

I want you to come to my play. Okay?

I wanted to go to Wayne Middle.

I wanted to take guitar lessons and play like Jimi Hendrix.

I was actually calling to say hello to you.

I was going as Boba Fett, not Ghostface.

I was just helping set up chairs for the assembly.

I was only friendly to him because my mom asked me to be nice.

I was so mad at you sometimes.

I was the one who bought him his astronaut helmet.

I went up Skeleton Hill. It was the best.

I will be sure to tell that to the real world.

I will.

I will.

I wish I'd never gone to school in the first place!

I wished for a brother.

I wonder what happened.

I would say I actually do wanna be friends with Auggie.

I, for one, had a great day.

I, uh... I went to Coney Island.

I... I listen.

I'd probably stare at him a bit, too.

I'd put a hood over my face every day.

I'll be ready by tomorrow night.

I'll catch you later.

I'll let you have all my Halloween candy.

I'll meet you right here after school.

I'll see you later.

I'll stick with Auggie.

I'll trade you my apples.

I'm a good listener so tell me something.

I'm both, Mama, you know I am.

I'm going as Boba Fett this year.

I'm going up there someday.

I'm Isabel.

I'm just gonna keep that in the box for now.

I'm Justin by the way.

I'm Mr. Tushman.

I'm not an only child.

I'm not even in it. I'm just doing the lights.

I'm not gonna let him talk to my wife like that.

I'm not saying poison or anything, but just a little Benadryl

I'm not worried. The worst they can do is kick me out.

I'm okay, Jack, okay?

I'm pretty much totally and completely petrified.

I'm really good at playing sports.

I'm really sorry, but I can't go on tonight.

I'm really sorry, but Via knows all the lines. She can do it.

I'm really sorry.

I'm serious this time.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for telling you that I was an only child.

I'm sorry if my staring made you feel weird.

I'm sorry.

I'm talking about me.

I'm the brightest girl in school for my age.

I'm Via. Olivia.

I've got to be cool.

I've had 27 surgeries since then.

I've heard 'em all.

I've missed you, Major Tom.

I've never asked my mom for help with my homework.

I've texted you, like, 1,000 times.

If I looked like him, I think I'd kill myself.

If I looked like him, I'd swear

If someone pushes you, push back.

If something else causes it to do that.

If there's any bullying going on, it isn't my son.

If they stare, let them stare.

If you wanna change the subject and save us from this story.

In a sec.

In order for any of us to see, we need light.

In science, he's ahead of the whole school.

In the middle of the room.

In your family who would applaud you?

Is Battleground Mystic multiplayer or single player?

Is he one of those kids that acts one way in front of grownups

Is it always gonna matter?

Is it like a Padawan thing?

Is that there are two sides to every story.

Is this... Is this really happening?

Is... Is your name Jack or Jackwill?

It goes so fast.

It is the highlight of the year.

It matters that I look different.

It might get Julian in trouble, too,

It really does look like him.

It revolved around the son. Not the daughter.

It takes a lotta work to look this good.

It was good, okay? I just don't know

It was good?

It was hard, because I'm lactose intolerant.

It was hilarious.

It was the crappiest piece o' junk.

It was written by Thornton Wilder.

It was wrong of me to do that.

It was... It was really good.

It will be fine.

It'll be okay.

It'll stunt your growth. That's a fact.

It's a camera obscura.

It's a floppy disk.

It's a gene. Well, it's sort of two genes,

It's a long story, but when I eat,

It's almost time for the Halloween parade.

It's Dad's favorite.

It's gonna be really embarrassing.

It's Halloween. We can make it a 3 day weekend.

It's in my office.

It's just a two day suspension.

It's just something to do with Via's school, honey.

It's like leading a lamb to the slaughter.

It's like that last precept Mr. Browne gave us.

It's my son's face.

It's none of your business!

It's not as hard as Mom's home school.

It's not just the pink hair.

It's not like I blew up the Death Star.

It's not true.

It's okay, I didn't expect you to know that on the first day.

It's okay, I don't wanna go

It's okay.

It's so awesome, when I'm wearing the costume!

It's so great to hear your voice again.

Jack and Auggie.

Jack finally got "the plague."

Jack Will was all I had.

Jack Will? Isn't he the nice one?

Jack, it's for that boy.

Jack, you okay?

Jack!

Jesus, I've never seen anything that ugly in my life.

Julian Albans.

Julian has had nightmares because of that kid.

Julian!

Just across the Massachusetts line.

Just be back here in, uh, a half hour?

Just do it. You'll have all of spring break to recover.

Just go!

Just keep up the good work.

Just so I'd have somewhere to go that wasn't home.

Just stop, please! Stop!

Just trying something different, you know.

Just trying something new.

Just trying to lighten the mood.

Just wanted to wish you good luck.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, graduates.

Last chance to get popcorn!

Later, Barf Hideous!

Let's find another hill.

Let's get drunk.

Let's get out!

Let's go, Julian.

Let's go, let's go.

Let's not those kinda questions.

Let's see your new Minecraft world.

Like if all the guys in fifth grade were lined up against a wall

Like in the subways? That's gross.

Like mottos.

Like mottos. Or like famous quotes.

Like, he's a good friend.

Listen, I gotta go, my mom's calling me, but, um,

Local spots mostly.

Look at him.

Look at me, Auggie.

Look at me. We all have marks on our face.

Look at that.

Look, just learn her lines and it'll give us an excuse to hang out more.

Look, let's all calm down for a second.

Look, will you stop folding towels

Look, your family can't cheer for you in a booth.

Looking sharp.

Love you, too.

Love you, too.

Loved me more when I pretended to be her.

Major Tom, is that you?

Makes blankets. Cartwrights own it and it brung 'em a fortune.

Making me go to school.

Mama.

Maybe if we knew what other people were thinking

Maybe it's an orc.

Maybe Jack touched Auggie

Maybe my mom can home school you, too.

Maybe the truth is, I'm really not so ordinary.

Maybe, I'll see you around.

Maybe. Thank you.

Me, too.

Me, too.

Me! Me! Me!

Me! Me! Me!

Meeting kids is harder than meeting adults.

Merry Christmas, Auggie.

Merry Christmas, Miranda.

Merry Christmas!

Miranda looks so different.

Miranda used to joke that my house was like the Earth.

Miranda!

Miranda!

Miranda?

Mmm hmm.

Mmm. Hello.

Mmm. Wow.

Mom and Dad would always say I was the most understanding girl in the world.

Mom says you won't say what happened.

Mom, Daisy ruined my Boba Fett costume!

Mom, enough with the guilt.

Mom?

Mom. I have friends, Dad.

Mom. I like this school.

Mom...

Mom's making... What's it called?

More like they were always lame.

More than a kiss.

Most theatre people won't stop talking about themselves.

Mr. Davenport, you're not listening. I'm not going on.

Mr. Tuchus.

Mr. Tushman went out of his way

Mr. Tushman.

Mr. Will?

Mrs. Albans, Auggie can't change the way he looks.

Mrs. Albans.

Mrs. Pullman, so good to see you again.

My best friend Miranda is the only person who knows me.

My dad does for always making us laugh.

My day is really good right now.

My friends do.

My grandmother.

My heart was beating so fast.

My mom always said...

My mom and dad and me are planets orbiting the sun.

My mom put her life on hold for my brother.

My mom says that on my fourth birthday I wished for a little brother.

My mom still doesn't think I can use a MetroCard.

My mom tried to walk me here from the subway.

My name is Auggie Pullman.

My name's August Pullman.

My sister does for always being there for me.

My teachers do.

Nah, I'll just go over here.

Nate, could you please excuse us?

Nate, do you know where his helmet is?

Nate!

Nate.

New precept.

Newton's first law of motion.

Next week, I start fifth grade.

Nice boots.

Nice to meet you, too.

No joke? Me too!

No matter how many answers you know.

No offense, but if you've never been in a real school before...

No one does anything mean. Or says anything. Or laughs.

No problem.

No way.

No way. Halloween is the best.

No, but what is it?

No, he did not.

No, he didn't, I swear on my life!

No, he's not ready.

No, I don't!

No, I wasn't in a fire.

No, I've never thought about it. Why?

No, no, no, let me show you how it's done.

No, not really. I'm not a theatre nerd.

No, um, it's okay. I'll stay with who I've got.

No! Are you... You finished your thesis!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. But I made one friend.

No. God, no, she'd kill me.

No. It's okay. I wanna go.

No. No, he didn't. I did.

No. This is gross.

Nobody can get their feelings hurt ever?

Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

None of which concern us.

Not a dream?

Not before 9:45.

Not even my birth was ordinary.

Not loving school either, huh?

Not rude questions.

Not the Pullmans'.

Not to be confused with an eyesore

Nothing to see here.

Nothing.

Now let's improv like we know what we're doing.

Now that we've finished our tests,

Now there's tuna on your face.

Now, how can a birth be hilarious, you ask?

Now, I gotta stop here, because past this point is a No Dad Zone

Now, it's not like regular ice.

Number one, I used to work on Wall Street. For a long time.

Of course, I didn't think that he would bring it to school.

Oh come on. Don't be the "run lights girl."

Oh good, they're here.

Oh my God, you're bleeding! Are you okay?

Oh my God! Oh my God.

Oh that is Jack and Auggie's science fair project.

Oh, Auggie.

Oh, because I'm your mom, it doesn't count?

Oh, Earth...

Oh, great.

Oh, hey, Jack, come sit with us.

Oh, it's great.

Oh, man! Dude! Come on! Let's go!

Oh, my God, that was so cool.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my gosh, I missed you so much! Mmm.

Oh, okay.

Oh, thank you very much. It was nice meeting you.

Oh, they're pretty busy.

Oh, uh, yes, thank you.

Oh, uh...

Oh, yeah, Chewie! Up high! Boom goes the dynamite!

Oh, yeah. Just like him.

Oh, you know what it is?

Oh!

Oh! And this is an eraser.

Oh! I actually have a question for Auggie.

Oh?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. It's from Star Wars. Padawan is a Jedi apprentice.

Oh. Okay.

Oh. So you do pay attention.

Okay, can we talk about Star Wars at recess? Yes?

Okay, enough.

Okay, everybody gets nervous.

Okay, everybody say, "Stella!"

Okay, everybody, here we go. We're skooching and say "Cheese."

Okay, everybody, if you can't see the camera, the camera can't see you.

Okay, good.

Okay, I just... Why are you sitting here then?

Okay, I'm just saying.

Okay, look, if no one else is gonna

Okay, maybe we can switch.

Okay, my name is Mr. Browne and you're late.

Okay, no.

Okay, now I'll go.

Okay, okay, hey! If you're mad at Mom

Okay, okay. You don't have to get mad.

Okay, so call me any time.

Okay, that's a start. Uh...

Okay, uh...

Okay, Via.

Okay, we're gonna open the apertures in...

Okay, well, come on.

Okay, well, he's gonna be the only new kid that looks like him.

Okay, well, you'll just have to wear

Okay!

Okay?

Okay? Now it could be about anything.

Okay? Right here.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. All right.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Okay. You... You guys, skooch. Sit. Just be closer.

Okay...

On a nice street.

On the walls of an ancient Egyptian tomb.

One day, and I swear I didn't plan this, but...

One sec, Via. Auggie, let's go!

One, I just got Battleground Mystic on my Wii and it's totally awesome.

Open your eyes.

Or do you eat special food?

Or good like it was bad and you just don't wanna tell us?

Or like, um, lines from a fortune cookie. Right?

Or there's a blizzard.

Ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.

Ordinary kids don't make other kids run away from playgrounds.

Other kids now?

Ouch.

Our fifth grade science fair projects.

Padawan braids were lame 15 years ago.

Peppers give Daddy gas.

Peppers? I don't want peppers.

Precepts are rules for really important things.

Precepts can help motivate us.

Prepare for blastoff.

Promise you won't tell?

Psst. Oy!

Quarter activation complete.

Really?

Really?

Really?

Really?

Really.

Refraction.

Right there.

Right, Daisy? Right. Good girl.

Right.

Say hi to Miranda for us.

School became... Well, I got used to it.

Science is supposably really hard.

Second, he's really smart.

Second, you're gonna feel like you're all alone, Auggie.

See you at graduation, Auggie.

See you later, buddy!

See you tomorrow.

Seen a lotta horror movies end this way.

She always wanted to be a children's book illustrator and teach art.

She fell asleep.

She got it! She got the part! Oh, my God! Bet she got Emily.

She makes Auggie the center of every universe she draws.

She stopped a lot of things when Auggie was born.

She used to let Auggie hang out with us all the time.

She was a real friend.

She was in a lot of pain, Auggie.

She was one thesis shy of getting her master's when Auggie was born.

She won't even talk to me.

She's doing very well.

She's just...

She's out with her boyfriend.

She's really old.

Should be called Garbage Hill.

Should be Emily.

Should we lose this? Come on, costumes are for Halloween.

Shut up!

Sincerely, Jack Will.

Sincerely, Mr. Tushman.

Sit down.

Skeleton Hill?

So all that was going on and we never noticed?

So Auggie...

So come on.

So I can't figure you out.

So I think I can imagine what started the fight.

So I usually look down.

So I'm sorry, but no.

So I'm thinking, I really wanna kiss you right now.

So if a nice kid like your little brother cries when he sees him,

So if you wanna be a normal kid, Auggie, then those are the rules.

So just don't compare your bad days at school to mine, okay?

So let's go trick or treating.

So now you're gonna punish me by not going?

So right now light is bouncing off this card traveling through the air,

So the science elective is supposably really hard.

So they know their way around and they'll give you a nice tour.

So they went to Florida, where Gollum was living in Miami. And...

So this is our homeroom. We have Mr. Browne.

So this is the cafeteria.

So this is what we're gonna do.

So what happened with Jack Will?

So what would you have us do?

So why are you suddenly so interested, huh?

So you do the math.

So you probably won't be spending much time here.

So,

So, after your 2 day suspension

So, are we going to see the play?

So, it'll be teams of two.

So, maybe we can change the way we see.

Some help.

Someone always says something!

Something more important to think about?

Something you're proud to show.

Sometimes it's nice to hide a little.

Sorry, it's been crazy. You know?

Sorry, sir, just jitters.

Sorry, that was... That was rude. Um...

Sorry, Via's not here.

Sorry?

Sorry.

Sorry. Thank you.

Spend some time together.

Stardust, go ahead.

Starring your mom's purse.

Stay. Stay, good.

Stella!

Step right up for an amazing camera obscura.

Step right up to witness Earth's greatest mystery, the volcano.

Stop lying to me, I'm not an idiot, I know what's going on!

Suddenly, everyone wanted to talk to me.

Summer has "the plague."

Summer, August. Get it?

Summer?

Summer.

Supposedly. With a "D."

Sure!

Sure? 'Cause you're acting really weird.

Sweet dreams.

Take Auggie 'round the school a bit, huh?

Take me back. Up the hill. To my grave.

Take that off, please.

Thank you for this. We won't be back in the fall.

Thank you very much, Auggie, that was perfect. Who's next?

Thank you very much, Julian. Let's hear your two things.

Thank you, choir. That was beautiful.

Thank you, kiddo.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for the help, Daisy. Way to put your back into it.

Thanks for your help today.

Thanks, Dad.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks, Mrs. P.

That doesn't change the fact that my mother has a great eye.

That is not the way we leave the table.

That is the question that we should be asking ourselves all the time.

That kid sounds like a real jerk.

That one note was on the back of a class photo.

That sounds like a bonus to me. Three things.

That they think everybody else should know about them.

That was awesome!

That was incredible!

That we wanted to work on together.

That your son left in his locker and his desk.

That's a great idea, you're right.

That's all I can tell you.

That's all.

That's compliments of your dad, I think.

That's not Miranda, it's Via.

That's not very nice.

That's okay.

That's okay. You'll find a place.

That's terrible. I'm sorry.

That's way cooler.

The astronaut helmet in public.

The entire block.

The food here is okay for school food.

The Glover Academy! And Beecher Prep!

The incubator. Bunsen burners.

The lead?

The name of our town is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire.

The one from the ice cream shop.

The one with the great sports teams.

The point is to create something you're excited about.

The Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular.

The Wizard of Oz!

The word's "supposedly." With a "D."

Then again, maybe that's kind of the point.

Then go find her then.

Then I was in the chorus of

Then right before graduation, whole class takes a trip

Then she stopped writing it.

Then when I was three I booked my first national. Nestlé Quik.

Then why'd you come here?

There are no nice ones!

There is no page 110.

There is zero tolerance.

There you go. Bring her.

There's some bully, you know.

These kids are too young to be dealing with this sort of thing.

These kids today. It's basically an iPhone.

They all just look, then look away, then look back.

They can help guide us when we have to make decisions

They couldn't get the file.

They follow you?

They gave me the scholarship.

They never listen. This one time I told my mom

They study theatre in the fall and do a play in the spring.

They want me to do what?

They were in the elementary school

They won't even talk to me.

They, my friend, are saying a lotta things.

They're just being normal kids.

They've helped me to breathe, to see, to hear without a hearing aid,

Think about it. Okay?

Thinking about signing up?

Third of all, he's actually pretty funny.

This bending of light is also known as...

This is gonna be epic. Race ya!

This is gonna sound stupid, but...

This is my first day.

This is the first year of middle school for everyone.

This is the map that shows us where we're going.

This play is called Our Town.

This the one mask to rule them all? My precious.

Those are some really gross science posters.

Though not onstage, clearly.

Through the glass, to your eye.

Time for vocal warm up.

To a nature reserve in Pennsylvania.

To award the Henry Ward Beecher medal

To help him deal with his night terrors.

To honor students who have been notable or exemplary.

To knock Miranda out before the show.

To know your brother's a freak, huh?

To meet some of our students 'fore you start school, Auggie.

To put it delicately.

To see if they could get my thesis off this.

To tell me how sweet those kids were

To the student whose quiet strength

To your stupid high school anyway. I don't care.

Today?

Tonight's movie will be...

Tushman asked me to be his welcome buddy

Tushman.

Twice.

Two days for a couple of notes from a kid?

Two rules. First, only raise your hand once a class,

Two weeks ago.

Two weeks?

Uh oh, crazy kid.

Uh, Charlotte and Julian.

Uh, Ms. Petosa?

Uh, my dad is on his belated honeymoon.

Uh, no.

Uh, same.

Uh, yeah, my mom invited

Uh... Saved.

Um, everyone's gonna come up with two things

Um, I can't figure you out.

Um, I'm not really the Our Town type.

Um, Justin, this is my little brother Auggie.

Um, where's Via, anyway?

Um...

Um...

Usually, it's a "good works," a service award.

Very good, Auggie.

Very good.

Via and I have been best friends since kindergarten.

Via, I'll get the pizza.

Via!

Via? What are you doing here?

Wait a minute. A double surprise, surprise.

Wait, did someone make fun of it?

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

Wait, wait, what?

Wait. George and Emily?

Walking up towards that stage, I felt like I was floating.

Wanna go back?

Want to give it a shot?

Was, um, to eat an entire jack o' lantern bucket of candy.

Wasn't Julian the one who got punched in the mouth?

We are ready to proceed at this time.

We can start rehearsing the kissing scene on page 110.

We can watch this movie any time.

We don't even have time to look at one another.

We good today? It's gonna be a good one, guys.

We had to take him to a child psychologist

We have a lot of friends on the school board, Mr. Tushman.

We saw them follow you out of the lodge.

We started a summer names club.

We take bullying very seriously at this school.

We went through this exact same thing.

We'd know that no one's ordinary.

We're gonna have a little man to man.

We're gonna open the apertures in 3, 2, 1.

We're on our way to the grocery.

We've got a factory in our town, too. You hear it?

Welcome to the 23rd annual

Well essentially, he won the lottery.

Well I know it's hard, but you have to understand that

Well I think it's great, Mom.

Well I went to, um, Kinko's today

Well it was nice to meet you, Via. Olivia.

Well tell me what happened.

Well they have a really good science elective.

Well your boyfriend is in it.

Well, but why don't you just tell her yourself?

Well, I don't even know if I'm gonna remember all of my lines.

Well, I don't know. I guess it's like a... Yeah.

Well, I have more.

Well, I thought it would be helpful for you

Well, I'm getting a vibe like maybe he won.

Well, I'm going down here right now, so...

Well, if you need help in science,

Well, let me tell you.

Well, now that you know about it, of course, I want you to come.

Well, on my Xbox.

Well, that must stink! That must stink.

Well, that's too bad. I am.

Well, then I'll applaud you.

Well, tomorrow is Halloween. And all the shops are closed.

Well, um, she was whimpering.

Well, um, Via's family will cheer you on.

Well, you didn't want me to go in the first place, remember?

Went back the next day and someone had taken it.

What about Auggie?

What about Darth Sidious? Do you like him?

What about the chocolate?

What about you, Jack?

What about you?

What about you? What's your name?

What are they saying down there?

What are you gonna do about it?

What are you talking about?

What changed your mind?

What did the nurse say?

What do we got here?

What do you mean?

What do you think?

What evil man invented dodgeball?

What happened?

What happened?

What is that?

What kind of a chance do you think he has in middle school?

What kind of person am I?

What was that? Something's coming.

What you call us, hick?

What you want me to say? It was good!

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What? Dad! That was a gift. You had no right to hide it!

What? Tushman said we could ask questions if we wanted to.

What? We didn't start it.

What? What are you lookin' at?

What? Where have you been? It's very late.

What'd you do to your hair?

What'd you get?

What's a Padawan thing?

What's in here? I'm kind of scared...

What's so wrong with me not telling you about a stupid play?

What's that in your case? A machine gun?

What's the deal with the braid in the back of your hair?

What's the deal with your face?

What's this? More little freaks?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

When a person accidentally touches you, do they call it "the plague"?

When I got home, I wanted to call Via.

When we pressed Auggie, he showed us these other notes

When'd you get back from camp?

Where did you say you were?

Where is she?

Where they had the most amazing snow I've ever seen.

Where you going?

Where's he goin'?

Where's Mom?

Where's the baby going? Go with the baby!

Which made me realize that good works come in many forms.

Which you will need to work on to have ready after spring break.

While nothing justifies striking another student

Who are they?

Who are you gonna audition for?

Who else is doing it?

Who is it that I aspire to be?

Who was his old boss.

Who?

Who's your favorite character, Auggie?

Whoa, indeed.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo.

Why are we whispering?

Why are you being so nice to me?

Why can't I just say "good" like anybody else?

Why do I have to be so ugly?

Why do you hang out with him so much, Jack?

Why don't we all shut up?

Why don't you get out of the way, so he can check it out?

Why don't you guys

Why not? Do you really wanna be partners with that freak?

Why, why are you doing this?

Why?

Why?

Will August Pullman please come up here to receive this award?

With my two awesome parents.

Without further ado, this year, I am very proud

Wow! This reminds me of my guess spot on Law & Order.

Wow. Look at you.

Yay!

Yeah she went away to camp this summer

Yeah, a lotta people call me by my first and last name.

Yeah, change of plans.

Yeah, come on, man.

Yeah, good job, good job.

Yeah, he did.

Yeah, he did.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, I know what an eraser is.

Yeah, I know. I just thought maybe he was, like, in a fire, too.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Yeah, no, that's okay.

Yeah, thanks, guys.

Yeah, uh, you'd get totally bored.

Yeah, yeah, refraction.

Yeah! Tuna, man!

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. And guess what? They were seventh graders.

Yeah. Everything's fine. I'm late for class.

Yeah. Fine. Just...

Yeah. He's ten.

Yeah. I'm so sorry.

Yeah. It was nice to meet you, too, Justin.

Yeah. Tide.

Yeah. We met him last week. He's super nice.

Yeah. Yeah, that would be really nice.

Yeah. Yeah, they do.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It looks wild.

Yep.

Yes, Mr. Tushman.

Yes, sir.

Yes, you're going on as Emily. Only you don't have much time.

Yes!

Yes!

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yo, Jack, what's up, man?

You an only child, too?

You are a wonder.

You are everywhere.

You are next please. Let's hear it for Via.

You are not doing these kids any favors.

You are not ugly and anyone who cares to know you will see that.

You are not ugly, Auggie.

You can come to my house after school.

You can laugh about that.

You can learn a lot about people from their shoes.

You can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

You can't just keep avoiding him forever, Auggie.

You can't touch it with your hands, okay?

You did?

You didn't think I would, did you?

You didn't. Shocker.

You do?

You don't have to be my friend.

You don't have to do this.

You eat like the Sarlacc monster, my young Padawan.

You ever thought about having plastic surgery?

You go there. I'll go here. Don't look.

You gonna let him talk to your wife like this?

You gotta understand, you were wearing it all the time.

You hear that, Auggie?

You just don't want your fancy high school friends

You just gotta be a bigger person

You just have to say that because you're my mom.

You know something about this?

You know that you can call me any time, right?

You know what an eraser is, right?

You know what?

You know, if you want.

You know, it doesn't play music or, you can't call, but...

You know, it was cool how you stood your ground, little dude.

You know, when I did my Hamlet,

You know, you've been really good

You need to go, sir.

You ready?

You really are a wonder, Auggie.

You said that science is supposably really hard.

You see?

You should ask him.

You should be.

You should tell people it's a machine gun.

You shut up!

You thought his name was Jackwill?

You took my day with Mom, so it is my business.

You totally saved our butts.

You understand?

You wrote that, Julian?

You, too.

You?

You?

You'll be great tonight.

You'll be great. Justin'll help you through it.

You'll stay home from the nature preserve trip.

You're gonna be fine, girlie.

You're gonna finish your dissertation?

You're lying.

You're making this up.

You're my favorite, too, Grams.

You're not alone.

You're nuts.

You're supposed to knock!

You're the best, dude!

You're too wonderful for anybody to realize you.

You're welcome to stay if you want, Justin.

Your boyfriend's my problem.

Your deeds are your monuments.

Your partner will be your tablemate.

Your scholarship will be waiting for you.

Your son photoshopped Auggie out of it.

Your thesis not going well?

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war.

3, 2,1!

3. 2. 1. Happy New Year!

4. 3. 2. 1.

9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4.

10. 9. 8. 7.

and that's not fair. Stop!

Are you okay? Uh...

Auggie! Auggie, that's not true.

Awesome. Good.

Busted now! No, it's not...

Bye, Mr. and Mrs. P. Goodbye.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Did you know that? Sarah.

Did you win? Nate!

Dude, let's go. Go where?

For what? The drama club.

Get after it. Open it. Rip it apart.

Get outta my way. No.

Go ahead. Nothin's gonna

Happy New Year! Happy New Year!

He really didn't talk to you? Auggie!

He's not even looking at us. Oh.

Hey, dude! Hey.

Hey, Ella. Hey.

How? If you live in Alaska

I'm sorry. She threw up all over it.

It was just a play. It wasn't "just" anything.

It was like powder. Nice.

Izzy, she doesn't mean it. Nate!

jump out at me, is it? No.

Mom. Yes?

Mr. Davenport... Hmm.

No, I'm a bad egg. You're a good egg.

No! And everything else.

No. And the Smarties?

No. Why, what's wrong?

Oh, wow. There's that. Whoa! Whoa!

Or an orc. Yeah.

Over here! Amos, come on!

Please! Get him! Come on, Via.

See you later, Auggie! Bye!

See, you have to go... No, I did.

Sweet. What?

The sound of joy! Ah...

This is perfect. Here we go. Good seats.

This part right? Yeah.

Tushy. Butt man. Butt face. Oh.

What? It's Via.

Whoa! That's awesome!

You were amazing! You were great, Via!

You've come a long way, huh? Yeah.

your costume from last year. But I told Jack

...who farted, and I don't use that word a lot, about 100 times.

...you are my favorite.

'Cause we might be moving to it.

'Course I did.

"Break a leg", not "Good luck."

"but in the right using of strength.

"by the attraction of his own."

"choose kind."
