"THEY SAY THEY found part of his hand all chewed up near the standpipe." y/n says, looking to the missing poster.
"he asked to borrow a pencil once." ben shrugs. bill lifts up the missing poster of edward, revealing betty ripsom's poster under it. "it's like she's been f-forgotten because corcoran's missing."
y/n looks at richie who was fighting to blow the trumpet from the poor guy. "what the fuck, dude?" eddie then approaches us holding two ice creams in his hands.
"what are you guys talking about?" he asks. "what they always talk about." richie answers, grabbing the ice cream eddie holds out for y/n. "hey! that's mine!" y/n turns to richie.
"keepers first, sorry." richie shrugs. "i'll let you have my tokens."
"i actually think it will end." ben continues. "for a little while, atleast."
"what do you mean?" beverly asks. "so i was going over all my derry research, and i charted out the big events." he answers, "the ironworks explosion in 1908, the bradley gang in '35, and the black spot in '62.." ben pauses.
"and, now kids being.." he looks up to bill. "i realized this stuff seems to happen--" he was cut off by bill saying "every 27 years." at the same time as him.

"OKAY, SO LET me get this straight." richie said, "it comes out from wherever to eat kids, for like, a year? and then what? it just goes into hibernation?"
"maybe it's like.. what's do you call it? cicadas." stan answers. "you know? the bugs that comes out once every 17 years." y/n sighs.
"my grandfather thinks this town is cursed. he says that all the bad things that happen in this town are because of one thing."
"an evil thing that feeds off the people in derry." he finishes. "but it can't be one thing." stan spoke up. "we all saw something different."
"maybe. or maybe it knows what scares us the most and that's what we see." mike said. "i saw a leper.. he was like a walking infection."
"but you didn't-- because it isn't real, none of this is." stan said. "not eddie's leper, or bill seing georgie, or the woman i keep seeing."
"she hot?" richie asks. all of them looks at richie with a 'what the fuck?' look. letting him know he ruined the moment, again. "no, richie! she's not hot. her face is all messed up."
beverly touches her hair. "none of this makes any sense." stan paused. "they're all like bad dreams." he finishes. "i don't think so. i know the difference between a-a bad dream, and real life, okay?" mike looks at stan.
"what'd you see? you saw something too?" y/n asks. "yes, do you guys know that burned-down house on harris avenue?" he paused. "i was inside when it burned down."
