[Sophie breathes heavily]
Now then,
what has us got here, hmm?
[chuckles] Hmm...
I is hungry.
- Oh, please, don't!
- Huh?
Please don't eat me.
[laughs]
I spots what you is thinking!
Because I is a giant, you reckon
I is going to gobble you up
and crunch your bones.
No... Please!
[giggles] You is reading in books
where giants is eating up little girls
for supper and snacks.
Yes. Don't they?
Oh, yes.
That is what giants is doing.
All the giants in Giant Country
is all cannybully and murderful.
They is guzzling up human beans
every night.
[Sophie] Human... beings?
[giant] Yeah. Human beans, like you is.
Bonecrunching giant,
he likes Turkey best.
Oh, turkey.
That's not a human being,
it's a bird.
No, no.
The Bonecruncher is not eating birds.
He's creeping off to Turkey every night
to eat Turks.
[sniffs] For the special flavour.
What flavour? Turkey?
[giant] Hmm? No.
Turks from Turkey
is tasting of Turkish delight.
[chuckles]
What does you think
human beans from Brazil taste of then,
hmm?
Erm, er, coffee?
Wrong! They taste of Brazil nuts.
What about Sweden?
Well, that's easy. Swedes.
[laughs]
Swedes! No!
- Turnips?
- You is wrong again.
Swedes from Sweden
is all tasting Sweden sour.
[laughs]
- Panama!
- Sorry?
Panama, Panama, Panama! Come on!
I don't know, er... canals!
Canals!
Your head is emptier than a bundongle.
Hats! See?
Human beans from Panama
is tasting strongly of hats.
Alright, then.
What sort of flavour
am I going to be when you eat me?
What? Me?
Gobbling up human beans? [gasps]
[shudders]
All the others, yes, but not me.
I is a nice giant.
I is a freaky giant.
There's not another giant like me
in all of Giant Country.
I... is the Big Friendly Giant.
The BFG! That's me.
[chuckles]
Does you have a name?
Yes.
My... My name's Sophie.
Sophie. Hmm...
Well, now,
is you liking some supper, Sophie?
You're...
You're really not going to eat me?
Of course I is not eating you.
I is eating snozzcumber.
[squeaks]
[BFG] Did you want some?
[Sophie] What does it taste like?
It tastes disgusterous!
[sniffs]
It's... Well... It's rotsome.
It's sickable.
Eurgh!
[grunts]
It... It tastes of slimewanglers
and c*ck.
Oh, try a bit.
I... I don't think I will, thank you.
- [Sophie] What else is there?
- [BFG] Else? [laughs] Else?
Did you think I'd guzzle
this repulsant snozzcumber
if there was else? Huh? Hmm?
I suppose you wouldn't.
If giants does not eat human beans,
they has to eat snozzcumber.
'Tis all what grows round here.
[Sophie] Oh, do I have to?
[BFG] Well, yes!
Unless you wants to be
nothing but skin and groans.
You mean skin and bones?
What I means and what I says
is two different things.
[whines]
I give you just a snipsy bit.
Go on.
Eurgh!
It's like... frog skins and rotten fish!
It's foulsome and maggotwise,
isn't it, eh? [chuckles]
Couldn't you get some other food?
You could pick carrots and cauliflowers
just round our village. And apples!
What? Never!
I is a very honourable giant.
I does not go snitching things.
You snitched me.
[groans]
Yes.
And now, I...
I can't help thinking about
your poor mother and father.
I don't have a mother and father.
They died when I was a baby.
You... You is a norphan then?
Yes. Where you took me from,
that was the orphanage.
Norphanages is nice and jubbly places,
eh?
All except ours.
Hmm?
Doesn't you have happy times there?
I hate it.
If you do the slightest thing wrong,
Mrs Clonkers gives you punishments.
How punishment?
Well, if you don't fold your clothes
properly or something,
she locks you in the cellar.
The rotten old rotrasper!
She leaves us in the dark
and there are great big rats down there.
You get really frightened.
Oh...
[sniffs] Oh...
That is the horridest thing
I has heard in years.
[sobs]
You poor little scrumplet.
[sobs]
Please don't cry.
B... BFG.
[sniffs] I can't help it.
You is making me so sad.
[Sophie] It's alright.
I'm not there any more, am I?
[BFG] No, but you is here.
And those other giants
will swallow you up
if they catches one tiny glimp of you.
And it's all my fault.
Cos I kidsnatched you.
[giant grunts]
Why did you?
Because if I has not wiggle you away,
you is... yodelling around everybody
hows you seen a giant
and then they comes hunting me
and capturing me
and putting me in a zoo.
That's true.
So... you will just have to be
staying here with me.
What? Forever?
Who will look after me?
What? Well, me, the BFG!
I is going to be your mother,
your father,
and your aunty and your ankle.
[chuckles]
You can help me with the dreams.
But how can you help someone
with a dream?
Hey, can you keep a whoppsy big secret?
Hmm.
My job is to go scuddling out
every night,
when people is fast asleep...
[roars]
[both gasp]
Hello.
Hello, Bloodbottler.
[squeaks]
What you got in here, eh?
Nothing.
I is not got anything.
You've been talking in here! Answer!
Talking? No, no.
Er, yes, yes.
I was talking... to myself.
You... You know me.
[sniffs]
Smell human bean.
Give me! Come on...
- Give me!
- [BFG yelps]
No. There's no human bean here.
What would I want with a human bean?
[Bloodbottler grunts]
Eat him.
Crunch his bones up. Yeah.
You knows I is not eating human beans,
Bloodbottler.
I has my snozzcumbers.
- It's scrumdiddlydumptious.
- [sniffs]
Why is you not trying some?
What's it taste of?
It's like peachy fruits and pineyapples.
- Yeuch!
- [BFG yells]
Er... and bones.
Yes, it tastes like bones,
snozzcumber does.
What?
Tastes like bones, eh?
Bones is good. Yeah.
[whispers] BFG!
No! Stop!
Is my bone!
[sniffs]
[chomps]
Bleurgh!
You! Not taste like bones!
[roars]
Oh... Sophie.
What has I done?
[Sophie coughs]
[BFG] Huh?
Sophie?
Where is you?
Over here. [coughs]
Sophie.
[coughs]
You is alive!
I think so. [coughs]
I was right inside his mouth!
I knows you was.
Smelt horrible.
He nearly swallowed me. It was awful.
Then he tasted the snozzcumber.
[BFG] Did he hurt you?
Not really.
He hurt you, though.
Hmm? Me? [chuckles]
[groans]
No. I is as right as snow.
[Sophie chuckles]
It's rain.
Hmm? Is it? Where?
No, erm, I mean the saying.
It's "as right as rain".
Oh, is it? [chuckles]
I have such twist tickling problems,
you see, with words.
Does try my best all the time,
but there is no schools in Giant Country
to teach me.
I love the way you talk.
[BFG] Does you?
Does you really?
Hmm.
There.
This nightie needs a wash.
It's lovely!
BF... BFG?
Hmm?
What were you doing in our village
last night?
That is private and confidential.
Tell me what you were doing
with that trumpet.
I saw you blowing it.
Ah... Now you is getting nosier
than a parker.
I won't ask any more questions.
Hmm. Alright.
If you really want to know,
I was blowing a dream
into the children's bedroom.
- Blowing a dream?
- [BFG] Yeah, it is my job.
When all the other giants
is galloping off
to gobble up human beans,
I is taking dreams around
in my old suitcase.
Nice dreams for little chiddlers.
You can't take dreams in a suitcase.
Dreams are in your head.
I knew you was never understanding!
I is not telling you any more.
Oh, please!
I is not saying anything more to you
until you is dressed.
[gasps]
You just made that for me?
Huh! It's nothing very much.
You can try it on if you want.
I've never had a new dress before!
I've always wanted one.
And a nice place to live, like yours.
[yawns]
It's time you is having 50 winks.
I'm not tired... [yawns]
[chuckles]
Can I have a drink of water, please?
There is no water for drinking.
There's only frobscottle.
Oh. I suppose it's slimy and sickable
like the snozzcumber?
That is where you is wrong.
Frobscottle is sweet and peachy!
It is warming the muscles of your heart!
[Sophie] c*ck.
Ah... Here is frobscottle.
Is you ever seeing
such delumptious fizz?
[laughs] Look.
It's fizzing the wrong way.
The bubbles are going down
instead of up.
[BFG] Of course bubbles is not going up.
They do where I come from.
[BFG] Bubbles going up is
a flushbunking disastrophe!
Why?
[BFG giggles]
If bubbles is fizzing upwards,
they would be coming out
in a foulsome belchy burp.
Yes.
That's alright, isn't it?
Alright? It's catastorous!
Oh, ooh...
Giants is never doing it.
But if bubbles are going down,
they might...
they might come out somewhere else.
Yes! You is exunckly right.
That would make a much worse noise,
wouldn't it?
- A whizzpopper!
- What?
A whizzpopper!
It's a sign of happiness!
It is jollifying music!
It's not. It's very rude.

[grunts]
[Sophie yawns]
[Sophie] What time is it?
[BFG] Time? Time to get up.
Time for work.
- [Sophie] Where are we going?
- [BFG] To Dream Country.
We is off to collect some dreams.
[giants snore]
- [Sophie] What's that noise?
- Shh!
Oh, no!
[Sophie] BFG, please turn back.
I'm frightened.
[BFG] Can't.
We has important work to do.
[grunts]
[sniffs]
Oi!
Come here.
[grunts]
[sniffs]
Where do you think you're going, huh?
Is not dark yet.
No, Fleshlumpeater.
I is just walking around.
[giants laugh]
I'll let you go, this time.
Phew!
He was in a nasty crotching mood.
[Sophie] Nasty mood?
I thought he was going to k*ll you!
Oh, no!
Giants does not k*ll other giants.
They is not like human beans.
[Sophie] What do you mean?
[BFG] It's only human beans that shoots
and bombs and kills each other.
No other animals is doing it.
[Sophie] Cats k*ll mice.
[BFG] They does not k*ll other cats,
does they, hmm?
[Sophie] Is Dream Country
inside this mountain?
[BFG] You wait and see.
I have something very extra usual
to be showing you.
[Sophie] Oh...
Whatever is it?
[BFG] It is the Dreamway.
The stairway into Dream Country.
I is never letting
anybody see it before.
[Sophie] Oh, dear.
What do we do now?
[Sophie screams]
[BFG laughs]
[laughs]
It's a razztwinkler of a journey,
isn't it?
There.
Now you is in Dream Country.
[Sophie] Am I really the first person
ever to come here?
[BFG] Of course you is.
Not even other giants
is ever coming here.
- Really?
- [BFG] Shh!
There is dreams all round here.
Where?
There. Listen.
- [Sophie] I can't hear any...
- Shh!
Hup! [yelps]
- Missed it!
- [Sophie] Missed what?
I miss... [gasps]
Ha! There's one! Hup!
[grunts]
[laughs]
Quick, quick, quick!
Open a jar, open a jar!
[grunts with concentration]
There.
I know there's nothing in there.
It's a winksquiffler!
No, no, no.
Even better, it's a phizzwizard.
A golden phizzwizard!
I suppose they're very rare.
Ooh, they is the rarest of all!
There may be swarms up there today.
Ups we go!
There is something in there.

- Oh, no, it is a dream.
It is the horridest evil dream of all.
- [Sophie] Why are we keeping it then?
- Take it home and locks it away,
and then no little toddlers
will be having scary nightmares.
[Sophie] Oh, let's get it home!
[door creaks]
[Sophie] Where are we going?
We cannot be leaving all
the tiny toddlers without their dreams.
We just has to pack up
our suitcase first.
- [Sophie] What, here?
- No.
[door hisses]
[BFG] Here, in my dream cave.
[Sophie gasps]
Oh, BFG. It's like heaven.
[BFG] They is dreams.
All dreams.
Sometimes I comes down here
just... just to look at them.
[Sophie] I could look at them forever.
It's... it's magic!
[BFG] Dreams is very mysterious things,
but they is not magic.
Dreams is real.
Like this frightsome trogglehumper.
Now we has to go and lock him away
with all the other nasty grogswitchers.
[BFG] There.
Now he won't be scaring
any little chiddlers.
[quiet tinkling]
[mutters]
- What are you doing?
- Hmm?
I is writing my labels,
so I is knowing what is in the bottles.
Can you really tell what the dream is
just by listening to it?
All I can hear is a sort of tinkling.
[BFG] Ooh! You has very good ears.
That is dream music.
A sort of language.
What does it mean?
[BFG] Oh, it's just a dream about
a little boy who is becoming invisible.
Great! Can we take it with us?
[mutters]
I has to give it an ending first.
How do you mean?
[BFG tuts]
You human beans does not know much,
does you, eh?
Dreams is not like stories.
Dream is more like... Hmm...
Like pictures in books.
If I is wanting to make a story,
I has to mix up lots of dreams together.
- Oh.
- Ah. Here is an ending.
"I is not liking algebra,
so I is frightening Mr Grummit,
my algebra teacher,
till he runs away."
[laughs] That's good!
A boy would like that ending.
Yes, of course he would.
It's a winksquiffler!
Soon we is finding somebody
to give it to.
[Sophie] What about that one?
[BFG] Hm-hmm.
How can you tell what to choose?
[BFG] I just gets a tingly feeling
when I peeks into the bedroom,
and then I is knowing. [chuckles]
[duck quacks]
[jolly music]
[BFG chuckles]
[BFG] Pressing his tummy button
makes him invisibled.
[laughs]
Come on, come on.
[Sophie] I... I want to see him
frighten his teacher.
[teacher] I say, what's happening?
Oh, dear!
Oh, heavens! It's ghosts! It's ducks!
Oh! It's going to get me!
[BFG] We cannot be...
We cannot be waiting all night.
We has dillions of dreams to blow.
[both giggle]
[BFG] Come on, come on!
[Sophie] Give them the one where they're
clowns in a circus. I want to see.
[Sophie laughs]
[both laugh]
This is the best fun
I've ever had in my life!
- It's like being in a...
- Shh.
[Fleshlumpeater groans]
[snarls]
[grunts]
[snarls]
[gasps]
[Sophie] Oh, BFG, stop him.
No.
No-o-o-o!
[Sophie] You... You... You...
You just ran away!
We could've stopped him!
[BFG] I is never stopping him.
He would just punch me down
and kick me.
[Sophie] You're a coward!
[BFG] Yes. Though I is running away
to save you.
[Sophie] I don't want to be saved.
I want to save the other children
before any more disappear.
[BFG] Oh. There is going to be
lots more disappearing tonight.
[Sophie] What do you mean?
[BFG] I is hearing them talking.
And they is finding themselves
a whole school
- with little girls in it.
- [Sophie] Oh, no!
[BFG] Yeah. And another one
with little boys in it.
- They is going there tonight.
- [Sophie] Where?
[BFG] It's where I snitched you from.
It's England.
[Sophie]
BFG, we've got to stop them.
[BFG] Oh, there's not anything
we can do.
[Sophie] There must be!
We'll get somebody to help us.
And who's going to be helping us, huh?
Well, if we go back and tell somebody,
they'll come and... put them in prison.
Yes, and they'll put me in a zoo.
Put you back in your norphanage.
Human beans is not famous
for kindness, is they? Hmm?
They is all... grinksludgers.
No, they is not!
I mean, are not. Not all of them.
[BFG] Oh... Well, who then?
Well, there's...
There's the Queen of England.
You can't call her a grinksludger.
[BFG] Well, er....
[Sophie] And you can't call her
a squeakpip or a squifflerotter, either.
Yes, that's what we'll do.
We'll go to the Queen.
[BFG chuckles]
She's never believing you
in a month of Mondays.
We'll make her believe us!
[BFG] How?
I don't know.
It's like you said in Dream Country,
you is never doing anything
unless you try.
Dream Country. BFG, wait!
Listen.
Can you make a person
dream absolutely anything?
Anything in the world?
Course I can,
if the dreams is in my collection.
Well, would you have any dreams
about me... and you,
and, erm, about giants eating children?
[hums]
Ah...
[chuckles]
One little bit here.
And stir that round there.
And a titchy bit more of this one.
[laughs]
[pops cork]
And a big swollop of this!
And, yes. [chuckles]
Yes, it's coming!
There. There we is.
Yes. It's all in there,
just like you told me.
I hope this idea of yours
is going to be working.
I hope so, too.
[BFG] We is lost!
[Sophie] No, we're not!
We must be nearly there.
[BFG] Well, I is hearing ducks quackling
down below. We is in the countryside.
[Sophie] No, it must be St James's Park.
Fly down!
[ducks quack]
[Sophie] That's Buckingham Palace
over there. Come on!
[BFG] Where is the Queen sleeping,
Sophie?
[Sophie] I don't know.
We'll have to search.
Huh? No.
- [dogs growl]
- No.
[chuckles]
There's only some doggies in there.
Ah! This one is a lady.
Take a look-see.
[Sophie] Yes. That's her!
[gasps]
Now we just have to wait.
Is you sure you will be alright?
Yes.
Bye.
Please don't eat me.
[BFG] All the giants is cannybully,
murderous!
My name's Sophie.
I is a nice giant.
Eat him. Crush his bones up. Yeah.
[Queen cries out]
The BFG... That's me!
Bones is good.
No!
[BFG] There'll be lots more
disappearing tonight.
[Sophie] I don't want to be saved.
I want to save the other children!
[BFG] A whole school,
with little girls in it.
[Queen] No, no!
[BFG] Going there tonight.
No, don't let them do it!
[Sophie] We've got to stop them.
We'll go to the Queen.
[birds sing]
[footsteps]
[knocking at door]
Good morning, Your Majesty.
Oh, it is a nice day outside, ma'am.
Is it?
Oh, Mary.
I've had the most awful nightmare.
I dreamed that great ghastly giants
were snatching little boys and girls
out of their beds at school
- and eating them.
- [crockery clatters]
Mary! What on earth's the matter?
It's your dream, ma'am,
it's in the papers.
In the papers?
Oh, good heavens.
"Tragic horror as children slain.
Bones found beneath dormitory windows."
Oh, how absolutely frightful.
[gasps]
[Mary] Oh!
How did you get in there?
I... I simply don't believe it.
I don't know what this place
is coming to. Really, I don't.
Now, come on downstairs
or you'll be for it, you will.
[Queen] No, Mary, wait a moment.
Now, tell me truthfully.
Is there a little girl
on the windowsill?
Yes, ma'am, there is, ma'am,
as plain as the nose on me face.
Yes, but you see, I dreamed there
would be a little girl sitting there.
Oh! [chuckles]
Well, well... there is, ma'am,
isn't there? I mean, look.
Little girl, come here, please.
You are real, aren't you?
Yes, Your Majesty.
And is your name Sophie?
Yes, Your Majesty.
You were the girl in my dream.
How did you get in?
She wasn't there last night,
I'll swear to it.
I think you dreamed that, Your Majesty.
Yes. Yes, I did.
I dreamed
that a very tall giant put you there
and that he's waiting outside now
in the garden.
That's right. He is.
[whimpers] Oh, Lord, preserve us!
You needn't be frightened.
He's my friend. He's lovely.
I'm quite sure he is.
But why have you and your friend
come to see me?
Didn't you dream that as well,
Your Majesty?
Yes. Now you come to mention it, I did.
You were going to help us capture
those terrible monsters.
The ones who ate the children.
[gulps]
I don't think I'm feeling very well.
You did dream it!
But how did you know
what I was dreaming?
The BFG can explain that,
if you let me call him.
BFG?
It stands for Big Friendly Giant.
He's...
In the garden. I know.
Very well, Sophie, you may call him.
[whispers] BFG.
You can come out now.
[Mary] Giants in the garden!
I never heard anything so ridiculous
in all my born...
Oh!
[groans]
Here he is.
This is the BFG.
Your Majester.
I is your humbug servant.
We are very pleased to meet you.
Oh, Queen! Oh, Majester!
Oh, Golden Sovereign! Oh, Sultana!
I is coming here
with my little friend Sophie
to save you from awful Beryl.
He means peril.
He does speak a bit funny sometimes.
I think you speak English perfectly.
Oh, Majester.
How wondercrump.
I is all of a... a stutter.
I has great secrets
to tell Your Majester.
I should be delighted to hear them.
Would you care to join us for breakfast?
Will it be stinky snozzcumbers,
Majester?
I beg your pardon?
No, it won't!
It'll be something nice,
like eggs and bacon.
Mary, call Mr Tibbs about breakfast,
would you?
Mary? Mary?
Oh, dear!
[slurps] Mmm!
It's getting better every time,
this eggs and baking!
Thank you, sir.
The chef will be delighted to know that.
Oh, Tibbs.
While Mr BFG is finishing breakfast,
would you summon the head of the army
and the head of the air force?
- Say it's an emergency.
- Very good, ma'am.
Eurgh!
Doesn't you have any frobscottle here
for whizzpopping?
No! Shh!
Well, I can be whizzpopping without,
if I wants to.
[Sophie] Well, you mustn't!
What, no whizzpopping?
No jollifying music?
Oh, do let him sing if he wants to.
He doesn't want to sing.
I enjoy music at breakfast.
In Scotland they play the bagpipes
outside my window.
[chuckles]
Whizzpopping is better
than bagglepipes, Majester.
[chuckles] I'm sure it is.
- Please play something.
- No, you're not to!
I cannot be disobeying
Her Majester the Queen.
[chuckles]
[BFG farts loudly]
[tyres screech]
[cars crash / Big Ben chimes]
[horse whinnies]
I think on the whole...
I prefer the bagpipes.
[military drumming]
[man 1] I suppose it's about
these bally children.
[man 2] What children?
[man 1] The ones who disappeared
last night.
[man 2] Oh, them! Load of nonsense.
You know what children are.
They make it all up.
[man 1] Yes. They did find bones,
though, and giant footprints.
[man 2] Bones? Rubbish.
Giant footprints? Poppycock.
They make it all up, I tell you.
[man 1] Yes, of course.
They're always causing bally trouble,
bally children.
- Good morning, Your Majesty.
- Good morning, Your Majesty.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Thank you for coming so quickly.
[man 1] Tibbs said it was an emergency,
Your Majesty.
Yes. You have heard the dreadful news
of the disappearing children?
Oh, yes. Absolute load of poppy...
- [clears throat]
- What?
Oh! Absolutely shocking,
Your Majesty. Terrible.
We're sure there's
a perfectly simple explanation.
There is. They were eaten by giants.
Don't think we should jump
to that conclusion, ma'am.
- You don't?
- Oh, well, giants, Your Majesty.
I mean, er...
We know they don't, er... well...
- Yes?
- Erm... exist, do they?
Er, any more. What?
You see, Your Majesty, let's take
this business of the footprints.
Our intelligence says
they were six feet long.
Yes.
Well, that means that
if they were real footprints,
whatever made them would've had to be,
well, let me see... how high?
That high?
Yes, at least that...
What? Er...
No, don't worry, Your Majesty.
We'll protect you.
It's alright, little girl.
D-D-Don't be frightened.
Gentlemen, may I introduce Sophie?
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
And this is our friend, Mr BFG.
- G-Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, sir.
Ooh! Gunghummers and bogswinkles!
What was that?
It was Louis XV.
Alright, men, at your easels.
Now, I should like you to listen
very carefully to what he has to say...
Good heavens!
What an appalling story!
How many of these brutes are there?
Erm, well, there's Manhugger,
the Meatdripper,
the Childchewer, Butcher Boy, erm...
The Bloodbottler!
Yes, yes! Bloodbottler, Maidmasher,
the Fleshlumpeater,
ooh, and Bonecruncher
and the Gizzardgulper.
Er... Er... That, that is, erm...
[whispers] Nine.
Yes, nine.
Gosh! As many as that, eh?
Strategy is quite simple, Your Majesty.
Tanks.
Tanks? Nonsense. Bombs.
Bombs? Ridiculous! Tanks.
And heavily a*tillery.
a*tillery? Piffle. Next thing,
you'll be wanting bally cavalry, too.
Tanks, a*tillery and cavalry.
That'll do it.
[man 1] Modern warfare, ma'am,
demands modern technology.
Low-level as*ault bombers
to get under their radar.
High-expl*sive bombs,
heat-seeking rockets and pow!
We'll blow them to pieces.
It's an old-fashioned enemy, ma'am.
We need good old-fashioned tactics.
Soften them up with bombardment,
roll in the tanks
and pick 'em off with machine g*ns.
[mimics machine g*n]
We'll mow 'em down!
Pow! Kaboom! Bombs!
[mimics machine g*n] Kerpuff! Tanks!
- Kaboom!
- Kerpuff!
[Queen] Gentlemen.
- Yes, Your Majesty?
- Yes, Your Majesty?
There will be no bombs and no g*ns.
- [man 2] Beg your pardon, ma'am?
- The giants are not to be hurt.
Not hurt, ma'am? But they eat children.
They're murderers.
That is no reason
to follow their example.
Exunckly. Two rights
is not making a left.
But they're twice as big as he is!
How can we capture them without g*ns?
- And without bombs?
- I know a way.
Without g*ns, ma'am, we'd be
sending our men to their... What?
I know how you can capture them.
Well, of course, it can be done.
Can't it?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Of course it can. How?
[Sophie] Well, the giants go out
at night, you see,
so in the daytime,
they're fast asleep...
[radio chatter]
[man on radio] Oscar 33, you're clear.
Blimey. He's a big fella, ain't he?
Alright, you lot, settle down.
[thunder]
[giants snore]
Alright. Forward, men!
Nothing to be scared of.
[thunder]
[giant yawns]
[roars]
[giant roars]
[roars]
[another giant roars]
[another giant roars]
You alright, lad?
OK, son. I've got you.
[thunder]
Army group to flight leader.
Request capture net, immediate.
[man] Flight leader. On our way.
[roars]
- They've done it!
- Yes.
Some human beans is not grinksludgers.
They is very brave! Come on, come on!
I is getting something for Her Majester.
Good work, lads.
All done, sir.
Couple of lads injured, nothing serious.
Well done, Sergeant.
You can get your helicopters in now.
We won't be needing the last one, sir.
There was only eight of 'em.
Funny. He said there were nine.
You know he can't talk English.
He probably can't count, either.
[laughs]
[mighty roar]
[roars]
[roars]
Get down! Take cover!
[roars]
BFG!
BFG!
[gasps]
I coming for you.
[roars]
B...
Quick, quick! Hide!
BFG! Come back!
There is only me to stop him now.
I does not want to be a coward.
You're not a coward!
I'm sorry. Oh, please come back.
[loud thud]
You...
You show them the way.
Yes! Yes! I showed them the way!
Why?
What for?
Because you is evil! And I sees it now.
You...
You is not giant.
You is like human bean.
Human being!
Yes! I'd rather be like one of them
than like you.
Yeah?
Then I k*ll you.
[roars]
[groans]
[screams] No! Leave him alone!
[Sophie screams]
[roars]
[screams]
Come here.
[groans]

[Fleshlumpeater groans]
Human bean.

[yells]
[screams]
No!
Get away!
[cries]
Go away, Jack! No!
Jack! Go away!
[squeaks]
[BFG] Huh?
Sophie?
[Sophie moans]
Sophie!
My little Sophie!
Oh, BFG!
You saved me.
Oh, I is not saving you.
You, you is saving me!
[Sophie] Did you blow him
that awful trogglehumper?
[BFG] Yes!
Oh, I is glad we is catching it now.
[Sophie] But what was it a dream about?
[BFG] It's about... Jack.
[Sophie] Jack?
[BFG] Jack is the only thing
giants is frightened of.
He's a famous
and terrible giant k*ller.
[Sophie sniggers]
He doesn't have a beanstalk, does he?
[BFG] Oh, yes, he does!
You knows about him, too?
I is very scared of meeting him one day.
[Sophie laughs] Well, you needn't be.
[BFG] Huh?
[both laugh]
[BFG] Why is we laughing so much?
[both laugh]
[Sophie] I'll tell you later.
[BFG] I don't know why I'm laughing.
[Queen] To the brave men
who led the capture of the giants
and helped lock them
safely away forever,
we award the Queen's gold medal
for gallantry.
[applause]
For Sophie, who has nowhere to live,
now that we have closed
Mrs Clonkers's orphanage...
[children cheer]
..we are making a new home here
in our palace.
[gasps]
[Queen]
She and her friends from the orphanage
can live here with us
for as long as they wish.
We shall consider what to do with
Mrs Clonkers later.
Mrs Clonkers can be feeding the giants,
Your Majester.
[Queen] I don't think we want them
eating any more people.
- Hmm?
- [laughter]
Not people, Majester,
stinky snozzcumbers.
Yeuch!
That is all those giants
is having to eat now.
[Queen] And Mrs Clonkers
can be their keeper.
[men] Hear, hear.
And finally, to our friend the BFG,
we are giving our tallest
and most splendid royal castle,
so that he can live there
for the rest of his life.
[cheering]
Oh, noble Majester,
I thanks you from the bottom of my...
Er... of my...
[whispers] Heart.
My heart.
It is a very great honour
you is doing me.
But... I must be tootling off now.
You're not going?
You're not going?
Why, I has my work to do, you see,
Majester.
I has my dreams to blow.
I cannot be stopping.
[Queen] I quite understand.
One always has responsibilities.
Exunckly.
[crowd cheers]
Goodbye, Majester.
Goodbye.
And thank you.
Goodbye,... human beings.
You has a nice place to live now.
Like you is always wanting.
Yes.
No more snozzcumbers, eh?
[chuckles weakly] No.
No more giants, hmm?
No. No more giants.
Oh, BFG.
I'm going to miss you so much.
I is always missing you, too.
Take care of her, Majester.
[crowd cheers]
[Queen] I'm sure he'll be back
to see us, sometimes.
But I didn't want to see him sometimes.
[sniffs]
I wanted to be with him always.
[BFG] Does you, Sophie?
Yes, of course I do.
Is you... sure?
Yes.
I is not having any palace for you.
I know.
Well, let's be going home then.
We has dreams waiting for us!
