Transcript:
Alice: I'm standing on this wall and not holding anybody's hand! Beni: That's a starter wall! Alice: What? Beni: It's a baby wall! A wall for low-achievers! There's the BIG WALL! Alice: Gasp! Beni: Those few who attempt to walk its summit are seldom heard from again. Especially after their mothers find out...

Well, I guess no one will be hearing from Alice pretty soon… ‘cuz you know she’s going to attempt to tackle that wall.

Alice looks cute in her Lucy Van Pelt dress, she should try to get Dill to kick the football.

My mother nearly died when the top of that tree came down with me. Died laughing.

Wow, who lives up there?

It’s only a model, unless the other wall is using oversized bricks.

And Dill already knows about the small wall. There’s no telling who else knows now.

alice, it is not the fall, but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts

I’ll bet seeing the whole world from the top of the Summit was worth getting grounded forever.

Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.
Something else there is, however, that finds it irresistible.
Five days! You can count ‘em on one hand…

Why would Alice want to risk her life?
She should only take calculated Risks. Risk’s where the worst consequence is within acceptable limits.

Good luck, Alice!

SherriannPederson: “She should only take calculated Risks. Risk’s where the worst consequence is within acceptable limits.”
No guts, no glory. Fortune favors the bold. Who wants to live forever? You’ve got to bet big to win big. Because it’s there. Faint heart ne’er won fair lady. Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse. I don’t know but I been told, you never slow down, you never grow old. Anyone who makes it through childhood without a broken bone or two simply wasn’t trying hard enough.
Besides, at that age her bones are basically made of rubber; she’ll heal real fast, and with luck she’ll have a cool scar to show off.

I bet DIll’s brothers climbed that wall. In fact, they probably made that wall after pooh-poohing the baby wall.

That wall doesnt look so hard. If you fall you have a 50% chance of falling on the grass, I’d try it.
