Fantasy
[notices the names carved on the wall of the gate]
Dr. Jekyll? Mr. Hyde? (turns away) Must be a duplex.
Richard Tyler
Whoa!
Adventure
Go ahead, matey. I'm--I'm right behind ye. (Richard Tyler gasps, the trio walks onto the porch and stood behind the two doors of the house) [points the rope] Well, ring the bell.
Richard Tyler
(panting) [Reaches for the rope, and gives a yank, making the bell chime loudly]
Horror
[slipping off the roof of the house, falling down, and screaming, making Richard Tyler, Adventure and Fantasy look up]
AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
[Richard caught him in his arms] Oof!
Richard Tyler
[looks at Horror, disgusted]
Huh?
Fantasy
[flies back down to Richard]
Good catch!
Richard Tyler
(a little scared)
H--here, take it!
Fantasy
(blushing)
Isn't he sweet? (makes kissing sounds) Muah-muah-muah-muah-muah.
Horror
[looks at Richard Tyler] (little scared)
Oh, I scared you. I'm sorry.
Fantasy
You mustn't judge a book by its cover. [Horror makes a cheerful face]
Richard Tyler
(confused)
Uhhh...
Fantasy
Look, he's smiling.
Horror
[makes a smile, showing only a few teeth on his gum]
Ha-ha!
Richard Tyler
(grossed out)
That's a smile?
Horror
So, do I think I'm scaring it? He shouldn't swim right after eating you know, he'll get cramps.
Adventure
Where did he go?
Richard Tyler
Aaaahh! (The Whales movement)
Adventure
Row! Row for your lives!
Richard Tyler
[shrieking]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! [he caughts with a Moby Dick]
Adventure
Abandon Ship--!
RT Richard Tyler, Horror, Fantasy, Adventure
[bites off the boat]
Waa-hooooooh!
Richard Tyler
[screams]
Aaaaaaaahhh--! [he falls down to the water and crashed] Me-me-me-me, me-me-me, me-me! [coughs in water] Guys! Where are you?!
Horror
[singing]
Sixteen men on a dead man's stomach.
Fantasy
No, no! Chest! Chest!
Horror
Oh, uh, chest. Chest. Ah, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha, ha! [singing] Yo, ho, ho! And a bottle of rum!
Richard Tyler
Aah! Aaaaaah...!
TM Tom Morgan
Evil spirits!
Horror
Hee, hee! [jumping off the tree with a vine] SANCTUARY!! [knocks the pirates down, then landed on the ground] Huh!
Richard Tyler
Horror, you are alive!
TM Tom Morgan
[using the gun with Horror]
Not for long! Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!
Horror
Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Horror
Ahoy, matey! Aye, we're lusty, adventurous men.
Adventure
Go away. You don't know what you're talking about.
Horror
I...I know I'm not your favorite kind of book, but I could be just like you.
Adventure
[Adventure stops at his tracks, and yells angrily at Horror]
You'll never be Adventure! Ye ain't got the spine for it. And take that stupid thing off!
Horror
[taking a bandana off his head]
Sorry.
Adventure
[muttering]
Oh, he thinks he can be a pirate...
[Horror sighed with sadness, and walks away]
Richard Tyler
[on seeing the Pagemaster again]
Hey! How did you get here!?
Fantasy
[through her teeth]
Quit it! We're in the presence of the Pagemaster!
Richard Tyler
I know who he is. He's the one who did THIS [gesturing along his body] to me!! Do you have any idea what I've been through?!
Richard Tyler
I was nearly torn apart by a crazy doctor!! I was made a slave by a bunch of mangy pirates. And eaten--got that, eaten--by a fire-breathing dragon!!
Horror
He don't mean it, my Pagemaster. He don't mean it.
Richard Tyler
And not to mention being tossed, squashed, and scared practically to death!!
P Pagemaster
Yet you stand before me.
Richard Tyler
Well, yeah.
P Pagemaster
Think, boy! What kind of an adventure would you have had if I brought you here with the turn of a page?
J Dr. Jekyll
[hologram of Mr. Hyde appears, then morphs into Jekyll]
You prevailed over evil. [morphs into Captain Ahab]
CA Captain Ahab
Ah, you looked Moby Dick in the eye, boy. [morphs into Long John Silver]
LJ Long John Silver
Ah, you had pirate stuff, me lad! And don't no one speak any different.
P Pagemaster
If I hadn't brought you here from the start, you would never have found the courage to face your own fears. [hologram morphs into the Dragon] And in doing so, you triumph here... and always. [hologram shows a live-action Richard Tyler unconscious on the library's rotunda floor]
Richard Tyler
Hey, that's... That's me!
P Pagemaster
That was you.
CT Claire Tyler
[At night, the Tyler parents' car arrives home]
I can't imagine where he could be. Maybe we should call the police. [gasps as the car parks in front of Richard's bicycle, lying down] Alan! [Alan stops the car; gets out] He's home! [Alan gets out] Alan.
Alan Tyler
[sees the sleeping Richard in the treehouse]
It's impossible. [goes up into the treehouse] Rich?
CT Claire Tyler
[goes up into the treehouse and takes Richard's signature glasses]
We probably should put him in his bed.
Alan Tyler
Let's let him sleep up here tonight. [Claire goes down; uses hid coat as a blanket for Richard; turning off a lantern] Love you, Richie. [kisses his head; goes down the treehouse; and inside the house with Claire] Good night, son. [closes the door, leaves, and the living room light turn off]
Fantasy
Ah! A happy ending.
Adventure
Y'know what'd make this a real happy ending? A kiss.
Horror
Okay.
Adventure
Grr… I meant from her!
[All laugh]
