![]() So, I made the only logical move: I took myself off the board. And if we weren't together, if all of us alive weren't united, I knew we'd all die. It's because I knew I was too scared to go back. You're probably wondering why I did what I did. Dear Losers, I know what this must seem like, but this isn't a suicide note.This kills monsters if you believe it does.You should cut that fucking mullet! It’s been like thirty years, man!.The farther away, the hazier it all gets. Something happens to you when you leave this town.Stanley, we're not afraid of fucking spiders.Hey, fuckface! You wanna play Truth or Dare? Here's the truth: you're a sloppy bitch! Yeah, that's right! Let's dance! Yippee-ki-yay, motherfu.Hey! Hey! That fortune cookie's looking at me!.This meeting of the Losers Club has officially begun.Of all.all of the kids in this town you could have taken, why G-Ge-Georgie? S-S-S-Say some-Say something! Why him? WHY HIM, WHY HIM, WHY HIM?! Why? Because you weren’t there, Billy.All that success! All those sit-ups! But deep down, still just a little fat, fat, fatty loser! Who always knew he would die alone!.What about you? Are you still his little girl, Beverly? ARE YOU?! Come back and play! COME BACK AND PLAY WITH THE CLOWN!!.I know your secret! Your dirty little secret! Oh, I know your secret! Your DIRTY little secret! Should I tell them, Richie? Play a game with me, would ya? How about Street Fighter? Oh, yes, you like that one, don't you? Or maybe Truth or Dare? Oh, you wouldn't want anyone to pick Truth though, would you, Richie? You wouldn't want anyone to know what you're hiding. Did ya miss me, Richie? 'Cos I've missed you! No one wants to play with the clown anymore.Oh, I missed you! Waiting for this very moment! Time to FLOAT!!! It's a hero's death, truly proving that Eddie was a courageous and strong guy…and also proving that asthma inhalers make really good spider poison. ah, God, he felt so lucid, so clear, like a window-pane which has been washed clean and now lets in all the gloriously frightening light of some unsuspected dawning the light, oh God, that perfect rational light that clears the horizon somewhere in the world every second. He could feel everything running out of him along with his life’s blood… all the rage, all the pain, all the fear, all the confusion and hurt. Eddie bleeds out in the same way George Denbrough did, but his last moments are peaceful.įar away. It is too quick for Eddie, however, and ends up biting off Eddie's arm. He sprays the Spider's eyes and, when it opens its maw, sprays down its throat. ![]() The second thing? He spritzes It-as-Spider with his asthma medication. The first thing he does is kill an It-possessed Henry Bowers with a dang broken Perrier bottle. However, what he does in Derry totally makes up for that. In fact, when we meet adult Eddie, it's pretty clear that he's the worst off among the Losers: a lonely, isolated man who is beset by inner demons and a sort of paralyzing weakness. He ends up as financially successful as all the other Losers, but he also a) marries a woman who is basically like his mother and b) becomes a hypochondriac and a pill-popper himself. Unfortunately, standing up to mommy doesn't pan out for Eddie in the long run. Because of this, he stands up to his mother, telling her he'll play with his friends all he wants, and that he knows his mom is a total hypochondriac. ![]() This makes him break out in slightly hysterical laughter: he realizes what pain is, and realizes his resilience in the face of it. One of the town bullies breaks his arm, and he experiences real pain. ![]() And this is why It comes to Eddie in the form of a leper: a diseased, deeply contagious creature-Eddie is scared to death of catching a bug.Įddie has a fleeting moment of triumph, however. She hauls him to the emergency room multiple times a month.īasically, Eddie grows up convinced that he's one misstep away from dying of disease or accidents. She convinces herself-and then Eddie-that Eddie has asthma, and gets the doctor to prescribe what turns out to be placebo asthma medication. She refuses to let Eddie run around and play, for fear he'll get hurt. This is taken to an abusive extreme, aided and abetted by a doctor who agrees with Mrs. But whereas Beverly passively avoids her father, Eddie ends up confronting his mother and, later, sacrificing himself as a hero.Įddie's mom is a paranoid hypochondriac who believes that her son is impossibly fragile and delicate. Eddie is the male counterpart to Beverly: a child dominated by an abusive parent who grows up to marry the exact copy of that parent.
