Ian
[tries to make a can float with his staff]

Aloft Elevar!

No, from your heart's fire!

Ian

Aloft Elevar!

Don't hold back!

Ian

Aloft Elevar!

HEART'S FIRE!

Ian
[frustrated]

STOP SAYING, "HEART'S FIRE"! This just clearly isn't working.

Hey, it was a good start.

[hurts her foot on one of Barley's figurines]

Oh, my... Barley, keep your soldiers off my land, or our kingdom will go to war! [kicks it in his room]

[from in his room]

Sorry, Mom!

Oh, this is the world's longest gap year. Honey, I was gonna do that.

Ian

That's okay.

Wow! You must have been taught by some kind of sewing master.

Ian

Yeah. A very humble sewing master. What was Dad like when he was my age? Was he always super confident.

Oh, no. It took him a while to find out who he was.

Ian

I wish I'd met him.

Oh, me too. But, hey, you know when your dad got sick, he fought so hard because he wanted to meet you more than anything. You know what? I have something for you. I was gonna wait until after cake, but I think you've waited long enough.

[After Ian and Barley got back from under in the sewer, they find out they're back near his high school in New Mushroomton at the near end of their quest.]

It's okay? We can figure this out.

Ian

Figure out what? We're back where we started.

I mean, it has to be here. There was a gauntlet. I mean, unless that gauntlet was for, coincidentally, some different quest. That's a possibility.

Ian

What?

No, no, no. This has to be where the Phoenix Gem is. I followed my gut.

Ian

Oh, no.

What?

Ian

The gem is in the mountain. The mountain we could have been to hours ago, if we'd just... stayed on the expressway.

No, the expressway is too obvious. You can never take the obvious...

Ian
[enraged]

If I hadn't listened to you! OKAY?! I can't believe this. You act like you know what you're doing, but you don't have a clue! And that's because you are a screw-up. And now, you've screwed up my chance to have the ONE THING I'VE NEVER HAD!!

[Barley, shocked and hurt, gasps softly at Ian's words, so is his dad. Ian turns his back on Barley and walks away with Dad.]

Where are you going?

Ian
[gives Barley his staff]

To spend what little time we have left with Dad.

Ian, wait! We can still find the Phoenix Gem! We just have to keep looking! Ian! IAN!

[reading his dad's letter]

"I wrote this spell so I could see for myself who my boys grew up to be."

I had someone who looked out for me. Someone who pushed me to be more than I ever thought I could be. I never had a dad, but I always had you.
