SCENE 32
INT. NEWT’S HOUSE—NIGHT
NEWT opens the front door cautiously. Inside, a baby Niffler is swinging from
the brass cord of a table lamp, causing the light to flicker on and off. The baby
Niffler succeeds in stealing the brass cord before spotting NEWT. It scampers
away, knocking all manner of objects to the floor.
NEWT spots a second baby Niffler sitting on a set of weighing scales, pinned
down by gold-colored weights it is clearly attempting to steal.
As the first baby makes it to the dining table, NEWT lightly drops a saucepan on
top of it, which continues moving across the table. NEWT tosses an apple into
the opposite weighing scale, sending the baby Niffler flying into the air. NEWT
catches both baby Nifflers as they fall, then tucks them into his pockets.
Satisfied, NEWT heads toward the door to his basement but turns at the last
moment to see a third escaped baby Niffler climbing onto a bottle of champagne
on the counter. With a sense of inevitability, the champagne bottle pops and the
baby Niffler zooms toward NEWT on top of the cork, soaring past him and down
the stairs to the basement.
