The Daring Escape Of Beatrice And Peabody (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
If crowds are going to come, they will come on a Saturday. Not as many folks come on Sunday, on account of it being church day, and the rest of the days of the week everybody is working. But Saturday is show day and Ellis goes all out. It is the worst day to have a birthday. Especially if you are alone.Every balloon is blown and all the American flags are waving and I get the popcorn started and the taffy for the taffy apples melted. Pete the Alligator Man feeds his alligator extra turkey gizzards so there won’t be any mishaps in the tin tub. Eldora puts on her choir robe and wraps her bright yellow hair in scarves. She shuffles her cards. Ellis walks around and around and around, checking if Sam the Fat Man is sitting where folks can see him and if Silas Meany is sucking in his stomach far enough. I tie Peabody with enough rope so he can lie on our bedroll or go over and sniff around Pauline’s side of our hauling truck. I hide a few hot dogs so he won’t get bored. ‘Don’t make a sound,’ I warn.
