What are you doing, grabbing me like that and messing up my pantyhose? Hmph! Now I gotta straight out my Little Mermaid underwear.
Scenes with Fantasy
8 scenesI heard that! And I would let you know, I'm a Classic!
Mm-hmm, a classic misprint.
Why, you old sea serpent! I'll rip out your pages, and use them for--! (slips off) OH NO! (falls to the ground) MAN OVERBOARD!
Do something!
Hmm... (Gives you a blast of wand, then Adventure falls and crashed down) Oops. Ha, ha, I forgot my wand doesn't always work outside of the fantasy section.
You mean you can't wish us to the exit?
Dr. Jekyll? Mr. Hyde? (turns away) Must be a duplex.
Whoa!
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.
AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
[Richard caught him in his arms] Oof!
Huh?
Good catch!
H--here, take it!
Isn't he sweet? (makes kissing sounds) Muah-muah-muah-muah-muah.
Oh, I scared you. I'm sorry.
You mustn't judge a book by its cover. [Horror makes a cheerful face]
Uhhh...
Look, he's smiling.
Ha-ha!
That's a smile?
Dr... Jekyll? Dr. J?
My name is... (reveals his scary face to the camera) Mr. HYDE!!! (Richard and the books react in fright)
Sixteen men on a dead man's stomach.
No, no! Chest! Chest!
Oh, uh, chest. Chest. Ah, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha, ha! [singing] Yo, ho, ho! And a bottle of rum!
Aah! Aaaaaah...!
Evil spirits!
Hee, hee! [jumping off the tree with a vine] SANCTUARY!! [knocks the pirates down, then landed on the ground] Huh!
Horror, you are alive!
Not for long! Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee!
Aaaaaaaaaaah!
Where's Horror? Wasn't he with you?
He was, but he...I mean, I sort of...uh..he, uh....
Ohh, what did you say to him now?!
Well, I--I...I just...uh, I'll go find him.
Yeah, you better go find him. And be quick about it!
Hey! How did you get here!?
Quit it! We're in the presence of the Pagemaster!
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?!
Tell me.
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!!
He don't mean it, my Pagemaster. He don't mean it.
And not to mention being tossed, squashed, and scared practically to death!!
Yet you stand before me.
Well, yeah.
Think, boy! What kind of an adventure would you have had if I brought you here with the turn of a page?
You prevailed over evil. [morphs into Captain Ahab]
Ah, you looked Moby Dick in the eye, boy. [morphs into Long John Silver]
Ah, you had pirate stuff, me lad! And don't no one speak any different.
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]
Hey, that's... That's me!
That was you.
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.
It's impossible. [goes up into the treehouse] Rich?
We probably should put him in his bed.
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]
Ah! A happy ending.
Y'know what'd make this a real happy ending? A kiss.
Okay.
Grr… I meant from her!
[All laugh]
