- Another giant, much bigger than the BFG, storms into the cave. It’s a fair guess he doesn’t have all the moral values the BFG does.
- Sophie quickly hides behind a piece of snozzcumber.
- The gross-looking Bloodbottler demands to know who the BFG has been talking to. His theory is that the BFG has kidnapped a human, and he starts looking around the cave for the human. Unlike the BFG, he wants a snack.
- While the Bloodbottler is looking through the shelves, Sophie scoops some seeds out of the snozzcumber and hides inside it.
- The Bloodbottler approaches the table, with the BFG following him. The BFG has no idea where Sophie is hiding. The suspense!
- The BFG gets the idea to convince the Bloodbottler to taste the snozzcumber. He thinks the foul taste will drive him right out of the cave. Uh oh.
- The BFG goes on about how great snozzcumbers taste until the Bloodbottler takes a bite…a bite that includes Sophie.
- Sophie is in the Bloodbottler’s mouth. Gross. Also scary. She thinks she’s going to die, but then the Bloodbottler spits her out. She falls against the BFG’s cloak and miraculously doesn’t get hurt. She crouches under the hem of the cloak. Lucky save!
- The Bloodbottler tells the BFG that tonight he’s going to eat humans from Chile because they’re “chilly,” and he wants a cold treat. But a bunch of other giants are going to eat English schoolchildren for their inky flavor. Then he storms out of the cave.
- Sophie emerges and tells the BFG what happened. She probably feels pretty sticky.
- The BFG says he wish he could make the other giants disappear, and Sophie says that she’ll try to think of a way to help.
