“It,” based on the novel by Stephen King, is one of the most popular horror movies of all-time. Bill Skarsgård delivers an iconic performance as Pennywise the Clown, who abducts the children of the fictional town of Derry, Maine to feast off their fear. Few moments are as chilling as this one, when Pennywise lures in young Georgie Denbrough (Jackson Robert Scott) one rainy day from a storm gutter.
Pennywise: Hi Georgie! What a nice boat. Do you want it back?
Georgie: Um… Yes, please.
Pennywise: You look like a nice boy, I bet you have a lot of friends.
Georgie: Three… but my brother is my best’s best.
Pennywise: Where is he?
Georgie: In bed. Sick.
Pennywise: I bet I can cheer him up! I’ll give him a balloon. Do you want a balloon too, Georgie?
Georgie: I’m not supposed to take stuff from strangers.
Pennywise: Oh! Well, I’m Pennywise, the dancing clown. “Pennywise?”. “Yes?”, “Meet Georgie”. “Georgie, meet Pennywise”.
