Comforting a Child's Fear of Nightmares
Ripley: [Newt lies down on the bed]
Last stop. Get in. Scoot down. That's good. Now, you lie here and have a nap. You're very tired.
Newt:
I don't want to. I have scary dreams.
Ripley: [holds up Casey]
Well, I bet Casey doesn't have scary dreams. Let's take a look. Nope. Nothing bad in there. See? Maybe you could try to be just like her, hmm?
Newt:
Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.
Ripley: [smiles; turns on heater]
Right. I'm sorry, Newt. There.
Newt:
My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are.
Ripley:
Yes, there are, aren't there?
Newt:
Why do they tell little kids that?
Ripley:
Most of the time it's true.
Newt:
Did one of those things grow inside her?
Ripley:
I don't know, Newt. That's the truth.
Newt:
Isn't that how babies come? I mean, people babies? They grow inside you.
Ripley: [smiles]
Oh, that's very different.
Newt:
Did you ever have a baby?
Ripley:
Yes, I did. I had a little girl.
Newt:
Where is she?
Ripley:
She's gone.
Newt:
You mean dead.
Ripley: [gives Newt her wristwatch; switches off the light]
Here. Take this. For luck. There's that.
Newt: [grabs Ripley's arm]
Don't go, please.
Ripley: [points to security camera]
Newt, I'm gonna be right in the next room. And you see that camera right up there? I can see you right through that camera, all the time to see if you're safe. I'm not gonna leave you, Newt. I mean that. That's a promise.
Newt:
You promise?
Ripley:
I cross my heart.
Newt:
And hope to die?
Ripley: [Newt hugs her, Ripley kisses her on the cheek]
And hope to die. Now, go to sleep, and don't dream.
