- Sophie asks the giant why he snatched her up if he wasn’t planning on eating her. Fair question.
- The Big Friendly Giant explains that he had to take her because she saw him. He says if he left her there, she’d spread the word that there are giants and there would be a huge giant hunt. He thinks humans would put him in a zoo.
- The BFG tells Sophie she’ll have to live with him for the rest of his life.
- It’s not as easy as it sounds, though. He takes her to the cave entrance and has her peep out so she can see the rest of the giants and explains that they’ll eat her if they find her outside the cave.
- The giants are pretty tall and creepy-looking. They’re all just shuffling around, waiting for night so they can snatch more people to eat. Shiver.
- Sophie asks the BFG why he can’t stop them, but he explains that he’s a runt compared to them. Which sounds funny coming from a guy the size of four grown human beans, but we’ve got to take his word for it.
