We're here! Time to muscle up.
Hello?
Who's there?
You scared me to death, you mangy thing.
I'm just looking for an old well. Know it?
Not talking, huh?
Magic dowser, magic dowser,
show me the well!
Get away from me!
Ooh.
Let me guess. You're from Texas or Utah, someplace dried-out and barren, right?
I heard about water witching before, but it doesn't make sense.
-I mean, it's just an ordinary branch. -It's a dowsing rod.
Ow!
And I don't like being stalked, not by psycho nerds or their cats!
He's not really my cat. He's kind of feral. You know, wild.
Of course, I do feed him every night,
and sometimes he'll come to my window and bring me little dead things.
Look, I'm from Pontiac.
Huh?
Michigan. And if I'm a water witch, then where's the secret well?
You stomp too hard and you'll fall in it.
Oh!
See?
It's supposed to be so deep, if you fell to the bottom and looked up,
you'd see a sky full of stars in the middle of the day.
Ha!
Surprised she let you move in.
My gramma, she owns the Pink Palace. Won't rent to people with kids.
What do you mean?
I'm not supposed to talk about it. I'm Wybie. Wybie Lovat.
-Wybie? -Short for Wyborne.
Not my idea, of course. What'd you get saddled with?
I wasn't saddled with anything. It's Coraline.
-Caroline what? -Coraline. Coraline Jones.
It's not real scientific, but I heard an ordinary name like Caroline.
can lead people to have ordinary expectations about a person.
Wyborne!
I think I heard someone calling you, Wyborne.
