The Babadook (2014) Edit

A book turned up at our place.

A book turned up at our place.

A dart could have gone into a child's eye or even worse.

A few wars.

A friend of you and me.

A long time ago just yesterday, in fact

A rumbling sound, then three sharp knocks

Aaaargh!

Aarggh!

Aarggh!

Abracadabra!

Ah, just where a woman should be. In the kitchen.

All children see monsters.

All his other results are normal.

All your father's things are down there.

Alright, Samuel?

Alright. Give all my shifts away.

Always speaks his mind.

Am I ever gonna see it'?

Amelia, I just can't help you right now.

Amelia?

An old lady who can hardly walk?

And a few of them have lost their husbands

And entreating the sirens not to be afraid.

And get you to look at these papers, that'd be great.

And he climbed down that chimney,

And I always will.

And I am really...

And I end up feeling awful.

And I know you don't want me to go on about it, so I won't.

And I'll be back before breakfast the day after tomorrow.

And it contained violent and graphic images

And it's getting worse.

And not just as another problem to be gotten rid of.

And not worry.

And perhaps even shock your family and friends.

And put it on our doorstep.

And she won't let me have a dad!

And that was the end of the big, bad wolf.

And that's why I...

And the Prince and the Princess

And then this birthday thing rolls around

And they find it very hard.

And when it's trapped, I'm gonna kill it.

And when we go home tonight,

And you deliberately disobeyed me.

And you never stop to ask me anything about mine.

And your mum doesn't want you.

And?

Another few days and someone could call out, Bingo!

Any time after three is fine.

Anyone got 5 billion?

Are you Amelia Vanick?

Are you having a party'?

Are you listening to me?

Are you off now, Dad?

Are you sick?

Argh!

Argh!

As part of your steaming special,

At the moment.

Aunty Claire doesn't want to talk to us anymore.

Aw.

Ba BA ba Dook! Dook! Dook!

Ba BA ba Dook! Dook! Dook!

Babadook.

Babadook...

Because I can't stand being around your son.

Because of what he wrote in the book.

Beverley's not very impressed with your bingo skills.

Bugsy

Bugsy!

Bugsy's hurt and we need to get help.

But can you just give me something for now,

But I just wanted you to know

But I love you, Mum.

But it can also be very treacherous.

But it can also be very treacherous.

But neighbours say the boy was celebrating his birthday today.

But there's this hole in the wall behind the fridge

But you have to promise me not to mention it again.

But you said I could choose.

But you're the one who's asleep, sweetheart.

Bye, Sam.

Bye.

Bye.

Can I come in?

Can we have a look at the book, please?

Can we read it again?

Can you stay here with me?

Can you tell us what happened?

Claire tells me you're a writer.

Claire, I think someone is stalking me and Samuel.

Claire!

Clean and polish shower doors or mirrors

Come here, little girl. Hello.

Come here, sweetie. Hey?

Come here, you.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on, Samuel.

Come on.

Come on.

Did he hurt anyone?

Did he hurt anyone?

Did they really kill the wolf, Mum?

Did you get your things done?

Did you think that about my dad before he died?

Didn't I tell you not to play with weapons?

Do you have to keep on bringing him up?

Do you think this is funny?

Do you wanna die?

Do you want a cuppa?

Do you want me to put them all at risk because of your son?

Do you want that?

Do you want to frighten Mrs Roach?

Do you want to go to Wally's?

Do you...

Does it live under the bed? Mum?

Don't come in here.

Don't do that!

Don't eat it.

Don't go down there.

Don't let it in!

Don't let it in! Don't let it in!

Don't let it in! Don't let it in! Don't let it in!

Don't lie. You called me a jezebel. Why?

Don't tell Aunty Claire what happened.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry, Dad. I'll save Mum.

Don't you ever stop?

Don't you talk to your Aunty Claire like that.

Don't you want to stay up with your mum for a while?

Don't!

Eugh!

Even ice cream for breakfast if you like.

Everyone else has one and you don't.

Fine. Yeah. Just a bunch of old people.

For a streak free shine.

For as long as you like, OK?

For the rest of their days.

From the Department of Community Services.

Get away!

Get out!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Get that bloody thing off!

Girls and boys,

Give it back!

Give it to me!

Glass and mirror attachment.

Go and play right now.

Go and watch a DVD and I'll make something else.

God, Amelia, as soon as anyone mentions Oskar, you can't cope.

Good boy.

Good shot.

Good, Elaine!

Gracie, I'm so sorry.

Has someone broken into the house?

Have you been in the wars today?

He already feels so different.

He always spoke his mind.

He asked if you could stay the night.

He could see a psychiatrist.

He got killed driving Mum to the hospital to have me.

He got killed driving Mum to the hospital to have me.

He had a fit yesterday.

He had just turned seven.

He insisted on talking to this bloody Babadook thing all day.

He sees things as they are, that one.

He wanted to know so we talked about it.

He'll be separated from the other children.

He's becoming aggressive.

He's been making phone calls to me as well.

He's been out of school over two weeks now.

He's fine. I've had the stitches out.

He's funny, don't you think?

He's just exhausted.

He's just really tired.

He's just something you've made up in your stupid little head.

He's my father.

He's not actually registered at Babbage Bay anymore.

He's not running a fever anymore.

He's obviously suffering a high level of anxiety.

Hello, Samuel.

Hello?

Her nose is broken in two places.

Here we go.

Here's my card.

Here's one for you, Norma. It's got milk in it.

Hey, Bugsy

Hey, Bugsy

Hey, Bugsy. Hey, sweetie.

Hey, matey. This is for you.

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Crazy bitch!

Hey? See what else we've got.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi.

His name is Mister Babadook and this is his book.

His name is Samuel.

Hmm. Get to work, woman.

How are you?

How did you do that?

How do you know it's the same person?

How many 6 year old boys do you know, Robbie,

How sweetly they sung,

How was it?

How would your mum know if it's real or not?

How's Richard's merger going?

I am the parent and you are the child so take the pill.

I am your mother!

I am. I am.

I burnt it.

I can call and she can come over.

I can call Aunty Claire.

I can call Mrs Roach.

I can cover for you.

I can get their birthday cakes. That's easy.

I can give you a short course of sedatives.

I can refer you.

I can't believe you just said that.

I can't help it if I'm sick.

I couldn't find any food in the fridge.

I declare, I think this house is haunted.

I didn't hear any noise.

I didn't know what I was saying.

I didn't mean a hole in the wall.

I do have a dad!

I do volunteer work with some disadvantaged women

I don't even have time to go to the gym anymore. It's ridiculous!

I don't expect you to help. I just wanted...

I don't know why I said that. it was terrible.

I don't mention him. I don't talk about him.

I don't want anything bad to happen to you, Mum.

I don't want milk.

I don't want to buy anything.

I don't want you firing things off in the house anymore.

I don't want you making weapons anymore.

I don't want you to call anyone.

I don't want you to die.

I don't want you to feel awful, Claire.

I don't want you to go away.

I don't want you to go away.

I feel sick.

I had the dream again.

I hate you!

I have 24 other first graders in that class.

I have a new trick.

I have moved on.

I have to go.

I haven't been good at all.

I haven't been good since your dad died.

I haven't slept in weeks and neither has Samuel

I just bought this bloody car. What were you thinking?

I just didn't want you to let it in!

I just found this cockroach infestation.

I just need to sleep.

I just spoke with Mrs Roach.

I just want to drive for a little while.

I just want you to be happy.

I just want you to be happy.

I just wanted to make sure you were OK.

I know you don't love me.

I know... this time of year's terribly hard for you.

I listen to your life day in, day out,

I love you both.

I love you, Mum.

I normally have the house sprayed.

I promise to protect you if you promise to protect me.

I promise to protect you.

I really have to go, though, now, Gracie.

I said the Babadook...

I said you're not my mother!

I think it may have been a febrile convulsion.

I think it's going to rain.

I think it's gonna rain.

I think so

I thought you were dead.

I threw it away but somebody glued it back together

I threw it away but somebody glued it back together

I told him not to call anyone.

I told you not to call anyone

I understand you're scared.

I want to know how you are.

I want to make it up to you, Sam.

I want to report someone stalking me and my child.

I want you to meet your dad.

I was hoping Ruby would change her mind.

I was just putting something back.

I wished it was you, not him, that died.

I wrote some articles for some magazines, did some kids' stuff.

I'll cook you something. Hey?

I'll do it now. Then it's done.

I'll give you my Pay

I'll have a talk with him. I'll have a serious talk...

I'll kill the monster when it comes.

I'll leave you with this.

I'll make sure nothing gets in tonight.

I'll pay for everything.

I'll put your rubbish out for you, Grace.

I'll see you in a few hours, then.

I'll smash its head in.

I'll take that for you.

I'll tell her later.

I'm a bit tired from the drugs Mum gave me.

I'm going to have a serious talk with him.

I'm gonna protect you.

I'm gonna smash its head!

I'm gonna trap the Babadook like this.

I'm just in the middle of cleaning up the house

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not gonna die for a long time yet.

I'm not hurting anybody.

I'm not leaving you.

I'm not sick.

I'm OK.

I'm Prue and this is Warren.

I'm really hungry, Mum.

I'm really tired, actually.

I'm sick, Sam. I need help.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, love. I know it's late.

I'm sorry, Mummy.

I'm sorry, Mummy. I was just really hungry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. He just...

I'm sorry. There's stuff everywhere.

I'm sure they did.

I'm Warren Newton and this is Prue Flannery

I've already got this doll, Mum.

I've been doing a lot of reading about it

I've decided

I've got the day off tomorrow.

I've got the kids 24/7, it feels like.

I've had absolutely no sleep.

I've never seen anything like this.

If I could just come in and meet Samuel

If it's in a word or it's in a look,

If that's what the doctor ordered, I...

If the Babadook was real, we'd see it right now, wouldn't we?

If you don't take the pill, you'll feel worse.

If you go to bed now, the pills won't work properly.

If you touch my son again I'll fucking kill you!

If you're a really clever one and you know what it is to see,

If you're that worried, you should go to the police.

In front of our neighbours?

In this DVD,

Is she alright?

Is this the only way I can trust you not to embarrass me

Is this what I have to do?

Isn't it time you moved on?

It always looks worse than it is.

It can be a wondrous thing.

It can be a wondrous thing.

It can't hurt you.

It doesn't work if you don't look at me.

It isn't real. It isn't real. It isn't real.

It must be difficult.

It wants to scare you first then you'll see it.

It was pretty quiet today.

It's a few years before you end up there, isn't it?

It's a real mess.

It's alright.

It's alright.

It's beautiful there.

It's getting much better, Mum.

It's just a book.

It's just that the Babadook made you crash the car and then...

It's nice and warm in here.

It's not broken. It just slipped.

It's not normal for a kid to carry on with this rubbish.

It's not rubbish. It's real!

It's not safe.

It's only 6:00.

It's really bad.

It's Sam's birthday today.

It's that time of night again.

It's time to get back.

It's time to go to sleep now, sweetie.

It's very late.

Just a bit stressed at the moment.

Just go and watch a DVD, Samuel.

Just need a break, that's all.

Just scared the crap out of Ruby. That's all.

Just take your pill so you can go to sleep.

Just talking to the air even freaked me out.

Just thought I'd see how you're going.

Just to make him sleep?

Just until the tests come back.

Keep breathing.

Koalas don't leave their babies about.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen, Mum and Dad,

Legs 11.

Let me in, you little shit!

Let me in!

Let me in!

Let me in!

Let me in!

Life is not always as it seems.

Life is not always as it seems.

Life is not always as it seems.

Life's too short.

Little is known about the tragedy

Lived happily together in a beautiful palace

Look at me, Mum!

Look, I really have to go.

Look, there's another one!

Lost all these sales.

Mama!

May I have a glass of water, please?

Maybe we could do something, hmm?

Maybe you want to celebrate his birthday properly

Me too.

Mmm, Babadook...

Mmm, Babadook...

Mmm.

Mmm.

Monitor?

Most mothers aren't too keen on them unless it's really bad.

Mrs Bruen hates me.

Mrs Fanning,

Mrs Fanning, we've had the talks.

Mrs Fanning, you can't just take the boy out of school.

Mrs Roach has Parkinson's.

Mrs Roach...

Mum told Dad she didn't want to go to your house

Mum, do we have to go to Ruby's party?

Mum, I can go really high! Watch.

Mum, I don't think I need...

Mum, I don't think we should stay here tonight.

Mum, I think I'm gonna vomit.

Mum, I took the pills but I feel sick again.

Mum, I'm gonna go to bed.

Mum, it's 9:00.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Mum! Look at me!

Mum! Mum!

Mum! Mum!

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum? Does it hurt the boy?

Mum? Mum?

Mum. Mum, look at me.

Mummy, don't!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy!

Mummy! Mummy!

Mummy! Mummy!

Mummy! She wouldn't believe me!

Mummy?

Mummy?!

My cousin's not coming because I broke her nose in two places.

My dad's in the cemetery.

My first birthday I've ever celebrated.

My husband died the day that Sam was born.

My mum always got me a model plane when I was sick.

My son's only been away for two days.

Nah. I'm heading for the dementia ward.

No cake, no games. That's the end of it.

No one wants you.

No worries. I'll make you another one.

No worries. Talk soon.

No, he's not, actually.

No, I'm fine. How are you? How's D wing?

No, no, no. My sister's gonna take him. Put it back!

No, no, no. That's alright.

No, no, no. This is not going to happen.

No, no, no. We're fine. I just have a headache. That's all.

No, no, no. You've just got in, pet.

No, she doesn't.

No, that's alright. I shouldn't have...

No!

No! No!

No! No! No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Not drugs. Tranquillisers... from the doctor.

Not having time to go to the gym anymore. How do you cope?

Not like this.

Nothing bad's going to happen, Sam.

Nothing five years of sleep wouldn't fix.

Nothing in my hands.

Nothing in my hands. Nothing in my hands.

Nothing in my hands. Nothing in my hands.

Nothing is coming in here tonight.

Nothing, just making these... noises.

Nothing!

Now she's got a twin.

Number 11.

Of my child and me being murdered.

Off you go.

Oh, driving on the wrong side of the road with a kid in the back.

Oh, good. I mean, his workload's just ballooned.

Oh, I don't want to give it to anyone at work.

Oh, I was so worried.

Oh, it's alright, love.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, Granny.

Oh, no, not really. Not anymore.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Don't be ridiculous.

Oh, no. I couldn't get to the phone. He was vomiting.

Oh, no. No. No!

Oh!

Oh. I l thought...

Oh. That's...

Ohh!

Ohh.

OK.

Old cranky bitch she goes after lunch.

On the shelf.

One day, when you're bigger.

One with your milk in it.

Only five...

Ooh!

Or do you want another one to get hurt?

Oskar was the same.

Perhaps some temporary nausea.

Please don't!

Please help me!

Please stop calling him 'the boy'.

Please?

Police say the woman used a kitchen knife

Poor little sweetheart.

Put it back or it goes in the bin.

Put your seat back, sweetheart. 10 more minutes and we're there.

Quick. You're late already.

Ready?

Right in front of his own installation.

Right?

Ruby said people don't like me 'cause I'm weird.

Ruby! Don't play there. It's wet.

Run, run, run, as fast as you can!

Rung you a million times.

Sam, don't bother the lady.

Sam's just like his dad was.

Samuel no Babadook. No nothing. Alright?

Samuel won't cope with this.

Samuel, no monster talk at Aunty Claire's, OK?

Samuel, you don't have to say everything

Samuel!

Samuel?

Samuel.

Samuel.

Samuel.

Samuel.

Samuel.

Samuel.

Samuel's just being very disobedient again.

See him in your room at night...

See you later, alligator.

She doesn't want a joint party with Sam this year.

She just doesn't want to share the day with Sam anymore.

She may need surgery.

She never comes to our house.

She said I didn't have a dad. She kept saying it.

She wants to have a princess party.

She won't let me have a birthday party

Shhh...

Shhh...

Shhh...

Shhh...

Sit down, please.

Six years old and you're still wetting yourself.

So I think Sam will be happy there.

So you lost all these sales and then what happened?

Somebody sent me a children's book.

Sometimes people say things that aren't true.

Sometimes...

Sorry, Mummy!

Sorry. What was that?

Stay here and look after the children

Stop calling him 'the boy'.

Stop!

Straight into the huge black pot.

Takes a few weeks to get in.

Tell me about it!

Telling of the happiness and loveliness

That goes through your head.

That I'd do anything for you and Sam.

That is very unfair. We're only trying to help the boy.

That lay at the bottom of the ocean

That school's a good choice.

That sees my son as a human being

That'd be great.

That's a real tragedy.

That's an understatement.

That's enough.

That's just what I need.

That's no good.

That's not true!

That's not true.

That's OK.

That's unusual.

That's when the brain overheats.

That's when you'll know he's around.

That's where they were laying their eggs, I think.

That's why she shakes like this.

The artist was so drunk, he vomited.

The Babadook did it, Mum.

The Babadook did it!

The Babadook won't let you.

The Babadook would eat your mum for breakfast.

The Babadook would eat your mum for breakfast.

The book you burnt?

The boy has significant behavioural problems.

The closet doors were closed and now they're wide open.

The monitor will supervise him one on one.

The truth is he's so disobedient he can't go to school anymore.

The woman later attacked officers with a knife.

Then I won't mention it.

Then you can make friends with a special one

There is no Babadook!

There was a hole in the wallpaper.

There were three little pigs and one nasty big wolf.

There's more where that came from.

There's someone in the house!

There's something in the house.

There's something wrong with my son.

These can make children feel foggy.

They can go shopping together.

They drew their guns and shot her to death.

They feel sorry for me, Claire. There's a big difference.

They'll certainly help him sleep, though.

This is my house!

This is my tree house. You're not allowed in here.

This is what he wears on top.

This monster thing has got to stop, alright?

This whole nightmare will start up again

This year, anyway.

Time...

To stab her son.

To talk through your options.

Two fat ladies.

Um, just until...

Until your fucking brains pop out.

Wait, wait, wait. Watch this. When the monster comes, I'm gonna do this.

Wait!

Wake up, Mummy.

Watch out for your mum's leg, little one.

We can see Ruby and Aunty Claire at the park today.

We don't have to come.

We have to go home and see Daddy, though, haven't we?

We have to go.

We might read another one tonight, hey?

We needed some time to sort a few things out.

We really need to get out of this house.

We'll be absolutely fine.

We'll be fine.

We'll even include the garment and upholst...

We'll have to wait until the tests come back.

We're going downstairs.

We're going to have to employ a monitor for him.

We're going to stay there tonight.

We're gonna be together.

We're required to come back in a week

We've been cooped up here too long. That's the problem.

We've caught you at a bad time.

We've had the sessions with the counsellor.

Welcome to the great Martin's DVD 'School of Magic'.

Well, I'm not scared.

Well, parties are lots of fun, especially when they're yours.

Well, that's the end of the internet.

Well, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

Well, your mum is very lucky to have you, then, isn't she?

What are we doing?

What did you do?!

What did you say?

What do you expect me to do?

What do you want?

What do you want?

What happened?

What have you done?

What have you got in there?

What he needs is some understanding.

What is it?

What kind of writing did you do?

What strain is that on you, Claire?

What was that noise I heard?

What would you like me to do for Wednesday?

What would you like?

What?

What?

What'd you say?

What's he been saying?

What's the secret?

Where are we going?

Where did you get this?

Where did you get those firecrackers?

Where have you been? You weren't at work.

Where's its mother, Skip?

Where's your bowl?

Who has number 11?

Who still believe in monsters?

Why do you have to keep talk, talk, talking?

Why do you say that?

Why don't people like me?

Why don't you go home?

Will these make the Babadook go away?

Wind howling, doors slamming.

With fresh meat.

With those poor disadvantaged women.

Wow. You've got a lot today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No worries. I'll see you soon.

Yep. Soon as I fuel up.

Yes, it is. My first party on the day.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Of course. I'll get you one.

Yes. Talk soon.

You are nothing.

You are trespassing in my house!

You burnt it?

You can bring me the boy.

You can bring me the boy.

You can bring me the boy.

You can choose one tonight.

You can have anything you want. Alright?

You can play on that swing you like

You can still come.

You can't even pay your own bills.

You can't get rid of the Babadook.
