TINA (O. S.): "So what's it doing now?"
查看中文翻译
The Demiguise walks along the attic in a patch of moonlight. It glances around before stopping and emptying its handbag full of confectionery.
查看中文翻译
TINA: "What did you just say --?"
查看中文翻译
Newt comes into view, creeping up behind the Demiguise.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "It's babysitting."
查看中文翻译
NEWT (O. S.): "Its sight operates on probability, so it can foresee the most likely immediate future."
查看中文翻译
NEWT (calm and whispered): "This is my fault. I thought I had them all -- but I must have miscounted."
查看中文翻译
ANGLE ON TINA -- a shift of light reveals the scales of a large creature, hiding in the rafters of the attic. Tina looks up in horror.
查看中文翻译
A huge, dark attic space, full floor to ceiling with shelves packed with boxes of china: Dinner services, teacups, and general kitchenware.
查看中文翻译
The Demiguise holds up one of the sweets, seeming to offer it up to someone or something.
查看中文翻译
Jacob and Queenie enter quietly. Newt moves calmly forward and kneels beside the Demiguise, which makes space for him in front of the sweets. Newt carefully places his case down.

INT. DEPARTMENT STORE, ATTIC STOREROOM -- NIGHT

2 / 5
ANGLE ON THE CEILING as the face of an Occamy comes into view -- just like the small, blue, snake-like birds seen in the case, but this Occamy is huge, coiled round and round itself to fill the entire attic roof space.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "Mummy's here."
查看中文翻译
The Occamy moves slowly down toward Newt and the Demiguise, which again offers up a sweet. Newt remains very still.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "Occamies are choranaptyxic. So they -- grow -- to fill -- available -- space."
查看中文翻译
TINA: "It was babysitting that?"
查看中文翻译
ANGLE ON THE DEMIGUISE, whose eyes flash a brilliant blue -- a sign that it's having a premonition.
查看中文翻译
The Occamy spots Newt, and cranes its head toward him. Newt holds up a hand, gently:
查看中文翻译
FLASH CUTS: A Christmas bauble rolls across the floor; the Occamy is panicking, Newt clasping its back, being flung about the room; the Demiguise is suddenly on Jacob's back.
查看中文翻译
BACK TO THE DEMIGUISE as its eyes turn back to brown.
查看中文翻译
Queenie moves slowly forward, staring at the Occamy. As she does so, she accidentally kicks a tiny glass bauble on the floor, which jingles as it rolls. At the sound, the Occamy rears up, screeching. Newt tries to calm the large creature:

Tina army-crawls through the chaos, dodging falling items, trying to find what Newt has asked for.
查看中文翻译
Jacob turns, he and the Demiguise spotting a stray cockroach on a crate. Jacob reaches his hand up to grab it, when part of the Occamy crashes down, destroying the crate and his chance.
查看中文翻译
Jacob and Queenie stagger backward to find cover. The Demiguise runs away and jumps into Jacob's arms.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "Right, we need an insect, any kind of insect -- and a teapot! Find a teapot!"
查看中文翻译
The Occamy swoops, scooping Newt up onto its back as it violently thrashes about the attic, sending shelves flying. Newt shouts out:
查看中文翻译
The wings of the Occamy crash down to the floor, narrowly missing Jacob as he stumbles around, encumbered by the Demiguise now clinging to his back.
查看中文翻译
ANGLE ON TINA, crawling across the floor with great determination, in hot pursuit of a cockroach.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "Whoa! Whoa!"
查看中文翻译
Newt finds it harder and harder to hold on as the Occamy becomes more and more distressed, its wings now thrashing upward, destroying the roof of the building.

ANGLE ON QUEENIE, who screams as she's knocked to the floor by the force of the Occamy. Jacob runs up behind her and dives forward, flat onto the floor, finally laying claim to a cockroach.
查看中文翻译
Tina stands clutching a teapot and screaming:
查看中文翻译
TINA: "Teapot!"
查看中文翻译
Jacob and Tina are now at opposite ends of the room, neither daring to move, swaths of Occamy scales between them.
查看中文翻译
At this noise, the Occamy rears its head once more, causing its tail to writhe, squashing and pinning Jacob -- with the Demiguise -- against one of the rafters.
查看中文翻译
Newt peers around from behind the Occamy's head and whispers:
查看中文翻译
ANGLE ON JACOB AND THE DEMIGUISE -- the Demiguise looks shiftily up to the side and promptly vanishes. Jacob slowly turns to follow the Demiguise's gaze -- the Occamy's face is inches away from his own, staring with full intensity at the cockroach in his hand. Jacob barely dares to breathe.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "Roach in teapot…"
查看中文翻译
JACOB (trying to soothe the Occamy): "Shhhhh!"
查看中文翻译
Jacob gulps, trying not to make eye contact with the huge creature next to him.
查看中文翻译
5 / 5
Newt jumps from the Occamy's back, landing safely on the floor, while Queenie takes cover, placing a colander over her head.
查看中文翻译
IN SLOW MOTION: Jacob throws the roach. We watch it soar through the air as the Occamy's body begins to move once more, uncurling and swirling around the room.
查看中文翻译
Tina runs, teapot outstretched, hurdling the Occamy coils as she goes -- an heroic sight. She lands on her knees in the center of the room, the cockroach falling perfectly into the teapot.
查看中文翻译
Jacob widens his eyes at Tina, warning her of his intent.
查看中文翻译
The Occamy rears up, shrinking rapidly as it rises, before diving down headfirst. Tina lowers her head, bracing herself for a hit. The Occamy races down toward the teapot and glides seamlessly inside.
查看中文翻译
Newt leaps forward and jams a lid on top of the teapot. He and Tina breathe heavily: Relief.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "Choranaptyxic. They also shrink to fit the available space."
查看中文翻译
ANGLE INSIDE THE TEAPOT, the now tiny Occamy gobbling down its cockroach.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "That's everything -- and that's the truth."
查看中文翻译
TINA: "Tell me the truth -- was that everything that came out of the case?"
