Petey.
Where'd he go? He must have went that-a-way. Oh, Petey... I'll wring his neck! Petey! Petey. Elliott, put me down. - Look around. - Spread out! They're getting closer. We'd better hide. - - Stop swingin' your tail. You almost knocked me down. Here they come. He's gone that-a-way He's went this-a-way He's up a tree I think! Oh Petey, Oh Petey... Where are you? Please come back Oh Petey, Oh Petey... You're like a son to us We miss you, We miss you If I get near him you can bet I won't miss him with this. I'll cook you cake and gingerbread, Bring you tea in bed on a tray, We'll slave while you go fishing You'll get permission to run and play These tears oughta show you I care Come back, by cracky we'll share The happiest home in these hills... in these hills! Gonna snag him, gag him, drag him through town Put his head in the river, let the pup drown, Trap him, strap him, wrap him in a sack. Yeah! Tie him screaming to a railroad track. We'll have you sing in chapel You'll be the apple of Momma's eye I'll tend to all your sowing and do your mowing So just rely on me Dang, we know you're out there It's late, we're waiting to share The happiest home in these hills... in these hills! Gonna paw him, claw him, saw him in half, When he cries out for mercy we'll just laugh, Beat him, heat him, eat him for dessert. Yeah! Roast him gently so the flames won't hurt. Squish down! Petey. No, don't! Somethin' hit me! - What somethin'? - If I knowed what somethin', I wouldn't call it "somethin'," I'd call it by its name. I told you not to swing your tail. No, no, don't! You done it! Dumb polecats! Fightin' it out while that little snake of a kid gets further away! Why are y'all playing in the mud... when you know we gotta find that boy? He's gotta be around here somewhere. Find him! Aw, Ma! Why don't we... just go on back home and do some eatin'? I'll tell ya... 'cause you ain't gonna do no eatin'... until you find that little brat! Who done that? Hey, Ma, why don't we just get ourselves another orphan, huh? Because I done paid our last $50 for Pete, plus 50 cents legal fees. And we ain't got another $50 plus legal, that's why! Do ya understand? Well, here's somethin' you will understand. You're gonna have to start workin' the farm with your own two hands... less'n you spot that little twerp. - - And get me out of this here mud hole, Merle. Come on. I'm stuck. Don't just sit around in it. Come on. Get me out of here. Petey! Petey! Petey! Petey, Petey, Petey! You'll swim and you'll go camping You'll be a champ in your own backyard Our love is overflowing, it keeps on growin' You'll sleep good knowing you're home... In these hills We're gonna string him from a tree In these hills We're gonna sting him like a bee In these hills We're gonna spill him on his head In these hills We're gonna fill him full of lead In these hills... We better stay here. I'm tired, aren't you? Good night, Elliott. Hi, Elliott. Oh, boy. Those look good. I'm starved. You sure changed my life. - I didn't think I'd ever be happy until I met you. - Ooh. Mm. Whoops. One left. You can have it. Thanks! Mm. You're a good cook, Elliott. I look in your eyes and you whisper sweetly We don't match in size but we fit so neatly It's nice waking up when you're close beside me Humming in my ear You're joking! I can't believe it. You do? I love you too Remember the night when you first confided And things went so right that we both decided Now we're together and life is perfect Don't ever disappear Oh, really? Oh, you're just saying that. Is it true? I love you too We're walking down a road of our own Where rain can never fall I'm glad I don't have to be alone You know what to say when I want direction You don't turn away when I need protection Your voice is the sound of an angel singing Music I wait to hear Say it again! And again! Everything seems so new! I love you too I love you too I love you too I love you too "Paz-a-muh-quoddy." Passamaquoddy. Sounds like a nice place. Now, Elliott, we want the people of Passamaquoddy to like us. Don't we? I mean, you're kind of big, and we don't want to scare anyone. Do we? So you better not show yourself, understand? I know how ya feel, but you'll have to make yourself invisible. Nope. Uh-uh. Nope. Nope. - - I'm sorry, but the whole thing has to go. Behave yourself, Elliott. Hi! I told ya not to fool around. Get on the sidewalk and stay next to me. Look out, Elliott! Oops. Clumsy, clumsy, clumsy. I'm sorry, real sorry. I was telling my dragon not to bump his head on the sign. All right, smarties. Into your classroom. March, march, march march, march! March! March! March! March! How dare you? I mean, how dare you lie and try to embarrass me in front of my students. - I wasn't lying. - That's a lie on top of a lie. Ugh! You're not one of my pupils. What school are you playing hooky from? - I-I don't go to school. - Ah! I knew it. That's just what this town needs. Another ignoramus. No, Elliott. You disgusting little street urchin! You could be locked up for this. Where's the sheriff? Please! I didn't do anything Your skirt got caught in the nail Yes! Your finger nail Gentlemen, I propose to say... Passamaquoddy's a beautiful community... where the sun always rises and the sun always sets. - That's very deep and profound. Don't you think? - Elliott... It's a place of serenity and security, where the unexpected never happens. Ow! It's okay, Elliott. It seems to say, "Welcome!" You-You absolute oaf. You-You idiot! - No, come, come. - It was that kid that pushed me. He pulled off Miss Taylor's petticoat. - He walked through my cement with his big feet. - He scared my horse, Victoria. Let's get out of here, Elliott. - We-Well, where is this person? - Th-There he goes! Well, detain him. Detain him. - Elliott... - Uh-oh. You spoiled everything. Darn you, Elliott. I told you to behave. Scallops. And some oysters. And... Oh, hello there, little boy. Hi. Hi. - Hey! Hey, you look terrible. - Whoopee! Hey, your friend's... turned green. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was a dragon. A drag-drag... Dragon! Elliott, didn't I tell you that... Oh! Gentlemen... A dragon, a dragon I swear I saw a dragon A green and seething fire-breathing monster is in sight With eyes of red a lion's head and wings as dark as night He has a jaw of gleaming teeth He's 50 feet in height It's true, it's true Oh, what are we to do It's true, it's true He'll break us all in two Oh, he's comin' in His great big fin is right against the door So board up all the windows And get down on the floor Has anybody seen my dad? Nora, please, my child, come in. - Get off that street. - What's the matter? - Worst thing I ever saw in my life out on the street. - What was it? - I don't want to tell you for fear it'll scare you to death! - Scare me. A dragon, a dragon I swear I saw a dragon His tail lashing, he'll be smashing every shop in town With scaly feet he'll crack the street and tear the steeple down It's not some loony dream I heard a scream from Sheriff Brown It's true, it's true Oh, what are we to do - It's true, it's true - Old Lampie's in a stew A dragon, a dragon I swear there was a dragon You're off your hinges All those binges put you in a haze You crazy fools It's all your doggone fault he's in a daze Let go of me, let go of me and mend your wicked ways Aah! What makes you think there ever was, there never was There never, never, ever was a dragon, dragon, dragon Dragon, dragon dragon, dragon, dragon - Why don't you just calm down? - I seen his face. If you wanna call it a face. It was this close to me. Why don't you lie down, Dad? Come on. You know what else? It started to smile at me. - Well, did you smile back? - I didn't have time to smile. I was too busy running. And you know... And you know what else? There was this boy with it. And he wasn't afraid. - This boy... - Lie down. We're in a lot of trouble, and it's all your fault. I don't wanna play. You did everything wrong is Passamaquoddy. Now everybody hates us. I don't know whether you're good for me... or bad. I'm sorry, Elliott. I didn't really mean that. It's just I don't know what to do, and I'm scared. Hello in there! Get back! Hi. - What are you doing here? - Oh, just playing tic-tac-toe. This isn't exactly the best place for tic-tac-toe. The tide's coming in. High water reaches this cave sometimes. You better head for home. You're not from Passamaquoddy, are you? Nope. Just sort of... traveling. Where are your parents? Where are you staying? - What's your name? - Pete. I'm Nora, and I have to get back on watch, up in the lighthouse. There's chowder on the stove, if you'd like some. Wh-What's the matter? It's a hand, not a shark. You can finish that chowder... if you'd like. Oh, I forgot something. Be right back. I forgive you, Elliott. Stay here till I see what it's like up in the lighthouse. Woo-woo-woo-woo! The Gogans own me, I guess. They said it was against the law for me to ever leave them. Where did you get that bruise? Mr. Gogan. I was milking the cow, and I missed the bucket. - Had he done that before? - All the time. The first time I ran away, the orphan home sent me back. This time, I'll just keep running. Well, you'll be safe here. Nora, no one's ever been this nice to me. I'll always remember it. Pete, why don't you sleep here tonight? We'll figure out what to do tomorrow. Okay? Wonderful. I've got work to do. Come on. Are you anybody's mother? I'm not even anybody's wife. But you're gonna get married now, aren't you? I'm already married to this lighthouse. - Who's that? - Paul. - Is he part of your family? - He almost was. - How can someone almost be part of a family? - We were going to be married. How come you weren't? Well, as far as we know, his ship was headed for a storm. They were never heard from again. That was a year ago. He'll come back. I tell myself the same thing every day, standing up there watching for ships on the horizon. Time I should be thinking of other things, so they tell me. I'll have to ask Elliott about Paul. He has a way of knowing things. Who's Elliott? - My dragon. - Dragon? So you're the boy with the dragon. - Yup. - Where is he? - Down in the cave. - That's interesting. I've never known anyone with a dragon. What does he look like? Just a plain, ordinary dragon. How plain? How ordinary? He has the head of a camel The neck of a crocodile It sounds rather strange. He's both a fish and a mammal And I hope he'll never change 'Cause it's not easy to find someone who cares It's not easy to find magic in pairs I'm glad I found him I love him I won't let him get away 'Cause it's not easy You say the head of a camel - The neck of a crocodile - And the ears of a cow! It's clear that friends can be different Yes, I understand you now It's not easy to find someone who cares It's not easy to find magic in pairs Now that you have him Hold him Treasure him from day to day It's so easy Life is lollipops and raindrops With the one you love Someone you can always be with Argue and agree with Climb the highest tree with It's not easy To share somebody's dream It gets easy when you work as a team You've got to tend it Fan it That's what I plan to do Oh, I had one friend by my side Now I have two Him and you Him and me And it's so easy - Good morning, sir. - Good morning, son. - Nice to see you again. - Ah. Thank you. Aah! - It's you! - What's the matter? It's you. The boy with the dragon. Yes, sir. Dad! Dad, what is it? - The boy with the dragon. - I know. Now, just take it easy. You saw it. You saw it? I didn't actually see it, but I know what it looks like. - But wha... - We'll talk about it later. It isn't in the lighthouse, is it? - No, Elliott's down in the cave. - Oh, Ellio... Elliott? It... It even has a name. There's nothing to get upset about. You're right. Right, there's nothing to get upset about. Nothing. No, why should I get upset? I should be happy. I... I should be happy! I'll go down to the saloon and I'll tell the boys. I'll say, "Boys, here it is." Then hear the apologies. Elliott'll be happy to do it for you, sir. Good boy. Good lad. Just you and me and Elliott. We'll go into the saloon. Oh. Elliott... He won't... won't start to scratch or... or fight, or set anything on fire, will he? - Well, he's sort of... - Sort of what? - Unpredictable. - Don't do anything with Elliott. Wh-Why don't you leave him where he is? - It's too dangerous to take him into town. - It's dangerous. I don't want either one of you to say a word about Elliott... - to anyone, do you understand, - No. No. Yes! Until we've talked this over. Let's all have breakfast. The lamp has to be polished, the lens cleaned, and I want to take Pete to buy new clothes. Yes, well, clean Elliott and eat the lamp. I mean, we'll... clea-clean the lamp. Elliott! The name's Elliott. Did you hear that? Doc Terminus is comin'! Are they still after us? We lost 'em. Good. - Passamaquoddy ahead, ahoy! - What? Pass-a-ma-quoddy ahead, ahoy! - Oh, no. - Oh, yes. - Slow down! - My fence! WET! WET! It's still wet Throw out the anchor! Since we all concur, gentlemen, I suggest that we adjourn. When did I start losing control of my town! You dummy! You told me to drop the anchor, I dropped the anchor. - Watch Bones. - Get him off of me! Get him off! I think they remember us. Uh-oh. I think I remember them. - Just act normal. - I am acting normal. I'm ready to run. - Quick, what's the name of this town again? - Passamaquoddy. - "Quassama" what? - Passamaquoddy! Got it. How wonderful to see your smiling faces again. All of you. I-I've never known such warmth, such welcome, such loving hospitality. Get out, ya quack! And don't bring those phony remedies here again. Go on back where you belong: Jail. - - Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I sense enthusiasm, I sense loving response, and that's why I feel that this is my home... away from home. I've been bringing cures from Pilgrim Heights to Provincetown Treated rabid fever down on Queen Anne Road Gout or gastritis Mumps or bronchitis Bites and burns and blue abrasions Got a pill for all occasions Little Sipowissot was so nice to visit And Scraggy Neck is lovely to recall Why didn't you stay there? But through all my trips Good Lord! there is one place One corner, one town on my lips Why, it's.... Padamaquassy. Ah! Paquamassady No, no! Passamahmassy OH! I know It's Passamashlutty Noooo... It's Passamaquoddy! Of course! That's what I meant to say. I took your drug for losing weight and now I'm a blob But now there's so much more of you to love I wiped out impetigo on the banks of Buttermilk Flu is under firm control in Powder Hole Terminus potions tablets and lotions Major news in modern science Step up now and join my clients Spent a day in Buzzard's Bay They couldn't keep me there Even turned away from Kingdom Hall They probably threw you out They probably threw... My hair was Grey and thanks to you it turned into pink But that color. It's so becoming. - Aah! - We're gonna wash your phony tonics right down the sink Wait. Listen. My specialties are audiology, mycology, serology, teratology, embryology, psychology, zoology... and any other "ology" you can think of! My friends, you're not giving me a chance! I brought all these medicines back from Paris. - France. - Ohh! Oh Doctor! Oh Doctor! Doctor, doctor, help me I hear someone. I hear someone calling me. Someone in need. A human being crying out to another great human being. For a service only I can provide. Madam! Doctor Terminus is here to cure you. What's your problem lady? How can I turn my back to such a dear woman! It's like humanity in me. I hear... Ohh! Birds chirping I hear children giggling. I hear coins jingling. That'll be exactly one dollar madam. 50 cents an ear. Oh! Bless you doctor! I can hear. I can hear. My medicine cured her folks. Did you hear her bless me? Well, I bless her too. How wonderful I feel right here in my heeart. Shamed be he who thinks evil of it. And that's what the medical business is all about, folks: People helping people. You should all have help. Gadzooks! What have we here? Oh, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor. All I'm askin' for is a miracle. All he wants is a miracle, folks. How can I deny him? If he's willing to pay for it, he's gonna get it. - Any price. - One dollar, sir. - I trust him. - I believe in the Doc. I'd put my life in his hands. My friends you've seen a miracle and you'll see many more People will come pourin' in from land and sea We'll have centers for testing Let's start investing - Keep those dimes and dollars mounting - I'll collect I'll do the counting Everyone who lives here will be strong and healthy You'll be getting richer by the day - Hurray! - Hear them acclaim us This town will be famous The whole wide world will look at us and say It's Pardonmaquassy No. Paquamassady, no, no Passamamassy Quadamapoddy Passamadaddy Quadampassy Quadamaddy, Deppadaddy Depamassy, Quadapassy Passapassapassaquassa "Quoddy." Passamaquoddy I know. Pete, if you bring up the oil can, we'll be ready for the night. Sure. Before that, I'd like to show Elliott my new suit. No! No, no. You can't bring Elliott up here. Government regulation 302 states that... no dragons shall be allowed... on the premises of the United States' lighthouses. Now, go on down and get the oil so I can mark it up in the log that you did that. Okay. Nora, first can I bring Paul's picture down to Elliott? Then he can start looking for Paul. All right. - Thanks, Dad. - For what? - For making believe about the dragon and going along with it. - Making... It means a lot to Pete. Sort of a family he made up. I'm not making believe. I actually saw it. And I haven't been the same since! Go to the cave; You'd see it too, and your eyes would... pop right out! I was there. I saw nothing! Dad, be realistic. Oh, you wanna be realistic. Let's talk about how realistic you are. Here you are, waiting for someone to come back that just ain't gonna come back, Nora. And if waitin' for over a year hasn't told ya nothin', then you're not the one to talk about being realistic, are you? Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I'm going down to the hardware store. I'll be your candle on the water My love for you will always burn I know you're lost and drifting But the clouds are lifting Don't give up, you have somewhere to turn I'll be your candle on the water 'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright My soul is there beside you Let this candle guide you Soon you'll see a golden stream of light A cold and friendless tide has found you Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down I'll paint a ray of hope around you Circling in the air Lighted by a prayer I'll be your candle on the water This flame inside of me will grow Keep holding on, you'll make it Here's my hand so take it Look for me reaching out to show As sure as rivers flow I'll never let you go I'll never let you go I'll never let you go... Hi, Elliott! How do you like my new suit? Wow! And new shoes too. Look at the way they shine! Nora's so nice to me, I want us to do something for her. I want you to concentrate on finding Paul for Nora. This is what he looks like. Remember his face. Try real hard. Hmm. Better go now. Aww. See ya tomorrow. I've had nothing, nothing but bad luck in this burg. Hey! Ooh... - I'm sorry, Doc. - You see what I mean, hmm? Doc, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it, Hoagy. - Can I buy everybody a round? - Yeah. Huh? Well... Hey, 'cause, Doc, I gotta talk to you. Okay? - Sit down. - May I? Thank you. Hey, you're a ma... You're a man of science, ain't you? A man of science, yes. Yes, I am. With degrees from the Royal Medical College, London. - Huh? - The Gleinen Einen Peitzen in Vienna. - Oh! - And the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Oh. You know anything about dragons? Of course I do. I see them in all the big cities going down the streets, with that funny little walk, wearing bright colors, fluttering around... No, no, no. I'm talkin' about a real dragon. Real dragon. With fire... fire coming out of his mouth. And he's got real wings. Uh, you need a veterinarian. Hmm? - Why do you ask? - I saw one. Is it sitting at the next table? Hmm? I tell ya, I saw a real dragon yesterday afternoon. He's owned... owned by a young boy... by the name of Pete. You are trying to tell me that there is a dragon here... - In Passamacracka? Yeah. - "Quoddy." - Yes. - I told you this was a rotten town. Well, in my educated opinion, sir, - I think you've been up in your lighthouse too long. - Huh? Wait. Wait, listen. What if what I just told you was true? In my scientific opinion, the existence of a dragon... would have an impact of gigantic proportions. Mythology and legend would become history and science. - One could really make a quick buck with it. - Well, I can prove it. I can prove it! H-His name is Elliott. H-He's downstairs. You could go and see him right now. Unfortunately, I cannot make it right now. I have an appointment with a young lady who's interested in a nursing career. - Oh. Oh. - I wanna see it. - You wanna see it? Well, see it you shall! - Okay. But first first let's have a quick one Because... of the rocks we have to climb And the dragon the dragon is scary Ok! We'll have one for your rocks And one for the scary - "Quoddy." hmm..?? I tell you that he's in there. - Are you convinced? - Absolutely. - Well, let's get outta here. - Wait a minute. - Wait a minute. Wait a mi... - I-I want to pet him. Huh? You wa... You want to pet him? Are you crazy? I know you ain't drunk. No matter what you see in here, don't get scared. Hey, I might as well tell you straight off, you're gonna see a hideous monster. - Oh, no. - Oh, yes. And it's big. Fifty feet of terror! Claws! Claws so sharp they could tear a man to shreds. Eyes, evil eyes... that can see right through ya. And a tail that's so big and powerful, it could destroy the hull of a frigate! It can wipe out an entire crew... with one swish of his tail. Face... Face so terrible, it could turn a man to stone, a hero into a coward. A flame so hot, it could roast a turkey! And a mouth so terrible, - it could devour a man and... - spit him 20 leagues. Stay close. It's g-g-g-got m-me. Look at it! Them eyes are lookin' right through us. Look, don't ever let a dragon know you're... you're afraid of him. Stop-Stop shaking, and-and smile. Can't stop shaking, and I am smiling. Hello. Hello. Hello, Elliott. Aah! Hey, see how smart he is? He said hello to me. Yeah! He likes me! - You do somethin' so he'll like you. - L-Like me? Yeah. Do somethin' to make him like you. - Huh? - You think? Elliott, would you... would you like a little b-belt, huh? Hmm? Is it... Is it two parts fish oil and three parts seawater... and six parts potato squeezings, or is it only two parts seawater, hmm? Ten parts seawater, hmm? That much. No wonder they love it. S-s-s-s-s-s... - Saw it. - Saw what? El-El-El... Dra-Dra-Dra... What is an "El-el-el dra-dra-dra," hmm? Dr-Dr-Dragon. I-I saw the dragon. L-Lampie wasn't lying. It's real. It belched flame at me. Belched? You saw a belching dragon? You sure you weren't belching yourself in front of the mirror? N-Never saw anything so horrible in my life. Th-Thought I was a goner. There was no need for him to do that. I only offered him a sociable drink. Hoagy, I can't stand you when you're drunk. Doc, look at me. I'm not drunk. What I saw tonight sobered me in a second. I swear... I swear to you, there's a big, horrible dragon... up in that cave, I swear. I just realized, I can't stand you when you're sober! Now, get out of here. Get yourself a good, stiff drink. Out! I swear. A vicious dragon. Out! Dragon. 9 and 9 are 18 Really!! 9 x 9 are 81 Amazing!! 2000 pounds make a ton wow! That sign says "Passamaquoddy" You still have to go to school Do I have to like it?? Like it or hate it, you have to go. Do you wanna be stupid when you grow up? Like the Gogans? Ok! I like it, I like it. Isn't that the boy with the dragon? I think so. Let's go see. Common Are you the boy with the dragon? Yup! Is it he-dragon or she-dragon? You don't name girls "Elliott". Where is he? Following me Elliott the dragon is walking right there. I can't seem to make out his color. Mostly green. He's not too big, is he? Regular dragon size. Wow! Pete! School I ain't got hardly nothin' to sell. So? I pulled my nets in, and there weren't a fish in 'em. I just docked. There ain't nothin' out in that ocean but water. It's real strange, I'm tellin' ya. It's like every fish sorta disappeared. Just suddenly up and disappeared. There's the cause of it. That kid Pete. From the day he come to town, the fishing turned sour. - Don't be ridiculous. - It's that crazy dragon talk of his. That kid's been nothin' but bad luck wherever he goes. You're a bunch of superstitious ding-dongs. You know that fishing grounds shift from time to time. Elliott'll make the fish come back. There he goes, talkin' dragons again. Hey, kid! There ain't no room in this town for a dragon, and there ain't no room in this town for jinxes like you, neither! Well, if there's enough room for a chowderhead like you, then there's more than enough room for a dragon. There's room for everyone in this world If everyone makes some room Won't you move over and share this world Everyone make some room Even a dragon deserves a place a wide-open space With no reins No chains He wants to play games Dance with you Give him a chance To sing his song He only wants to belong There's room for everyone in this world Will everyone make some room Spread out while Elliott gets uncurled Fly on his back and zoom Rock him and ride him and line up beside him You'll see how quickly you blend A dragon is just one more stranger In search of a friend From an ant to a bird to a buffalo herd Let them walk and fly and roam Step aside, let them live, it's simple to give Like us, they just need a home There's room for everyone in this world Back up and make some room Let's all move over and share this world Everyone make some room Just think how far out the ocean goes The whirling wind blows shore to shore, door to door Think of the valleys and mountaintops The Earth never stops - So deep, so high - With miles of sky We all have part of the pie Welcome the dragon while you have a chance Give him his moment To rise up and dance There's room for everyone in this world Will everyone make some room - Elliott! - Love given freely Can spare this world Let friendly feelings bloom Just give an inch Give a yard, never flinch When the time comes to offer a hand So let's all make sure we give everyone somewhere to stand Let's all make sure we give everyone somewhere to stand Just the way God planned it Just the way God planned You're late. You're late. Late. Late. Late. Why is every body late? We were playing with Nora, Pete, and his dragon. His wagon!! NO! " Dragon" Dragon, wagon! That's no excuse for being late. Get inside. Good morning Miss Tailor. Goodmorning. Thank you for making my students late and for disrupting my entire schedule. You have a new student. I have? This is Pete. Oh! him. Well! if he's a transfer, I'll have to have his records. Unfortunately, his old school burnt down and his records were destroyed. Pete! Give her 9 x 9. Then I'll have to have his birth certificate Tragically, flames from the school house set fire at the city hall and his birth certificate went up with it. Pete! give her a ton. 2000 pounds. Do you want him to spell "Passamaquoddy"? No, no no. This is irregular irregular irregular. But he needs an education, educatin. Education. Surely you can't disagree with that. I would if I could. But I can't Why is the bell ringing? There's no one out there. I'll stop it. Elliott, stop it! The bell isn't supposed to ring till recess! - Stop that! - I'm not doing it. Liar. Liar, liar. It's the knuckle cracker for you. Three for lying and three... for whom the bell tolls. Come. Put your hands out. Palms down, knuckles up. One. Two. - Three! Four! - It doesn't hurt much, Elliott. - Whom are you talking to? Five, six! - Elliott! - Whom? - My dragon. - - Your dragon, wagon. Nothing but a network of lies! Three more for your imagination! Seven! Eight! And a great big nine! Go stand in the corner. Work, work, work, everyone. All this nonsense about a dragon. - No, Elliott! - You did it! You pulled the chair out from under me. - It was Elliott. - That does it. You've had a taste of the knuckle cracker. Now you'll have a dose of the behind breaker. Bend over. No, no, Elliott. Get out! No, Elliott, you're going about this the wrong way. Go back to the cave. Go on! Jehoshaphat! Would you look at that! - Why do I hear a bell ringing? - School must be out. It's too early, stupid. See, I told you. School is out. - Wait! What's happening? - Pete's dragon wrecked the school! I told you. I told you! What's happened over there? Something crashed right through the school. Look at it, I'm telling you. It's a big hole in the side of the wall. And a dragon came in through one wall... and went out the other wall. Now do you believe me? - You think this kid Pete would sell it? - Money talks. First there's a dragon. Now he tells me money talks. Will miracles never cease? Dragons, dragons, dragons. Dragons.

I tell you, you've got to have a sense of humor these days. - And you must be Pete. - Yes, sir! I'm Dr. Terminus, and this is Hoagy, who's doing his internship with me. I heard about the incident at school yesterday. - I'd rather not discuss it. - I realize you must be disturbed about it, and, uh, up to here in dragons. You know, Pete, I have always loved dragons. They're such wonderful creatures. When they're not busy destroying things, of course. I've had a dream since I was your age that one day... I would have my very own dragon. I would consider my life to be fulfilled... and would be most grateful if you would sell me your dragon. You wanna buy Elliott? Sight unseen. As is. We'll give him a good home. Bless him. I couldn't sell him. Sure you could! That's what life is all about: Buying and selling. - I'll give ya three dollars. - Offer him four! I'll offer him five. It'll make his head swim. Five... dollars. I can't sell him. I don't own him. - Well, what did ya do, rent him? - Well, who owns him? Well, nobody, I guess. He just came to me. He only goes to those who need him. I need him. Listen Doc, I don't know what you're up to, but you better forget about this. - He's not for sale. - Nora, go paint your lighthouse. Pete, my boy, you're conversant with Elliott. Now, talk to him. Tell him how much I need him. Look, deliver Elliott to me and the fiver is yours, plus a bottle of my medicine that's guaranteed to bring on puberty two years ahead of time, and that's better than a dragon, hmm? - Doc, maybe you should talk to Elliott yourself. - Mm-hmm. Wh-Where is he? Does he speak English? Down the beach. - Where? - Right there, by the water. - Right. I still don't see... - That's because he's invisible today. They know they're sitting on a gold mine. Well, they've had their chance to make a few dollars. That dragon doesn't belong to anybody. He's fair game, and he's gonna be ours! We'll bind him up, grind him up Lock him up, chop him up Can't you hear that jingle-jangle sound Oh yeah It's money, money, money by the pound Ahh! Uh! Ah-ah-ah! Fog! Fog! - Where's the fog? - There's not much fog. We were just using the horn to chase off a few buzzards. Few buzzards. Nora, how many times must I... Oh, started already, huh? Look, if you're gonna whitewash, son, let your brush go up and down, up... that's a boy... and down. - Up and down. Up and down. - That's right. This is fun. If it's so much fun, I'm gonna leave it to you and Nora to finish up... while I go in and take a nice little nap. This is the best time I've ever had in my whole life. - It is? - Yeah. Tell him, Nora. Pete, Lampie and I have talked it over. - We feel the time has come for you to stop running. - Yes, it's true. If it's all right with you, we'd like you to live here with us. Oh Nora, Lampie, do you mean this could be my real home? - It certainly does. - And Elliott too? - Well, I... - Sure, and Elliott too. But Elliott has to live in the cave. All right, he will. Oh. No, no, no! Not on me! Not on me! On the side of the building, please, huh? - Now up... Up and down. - And down. Up and down. You know what?

Like to talk to you. Oh, Doc, I got this here "poomonia." - Sit down. - Ahh-ahh-ahh... - Bless you, Ma. - Bless you, Ma. I got this terrible ache in my back! Good. What's rightfully yours is rightfully yours. Now, you want Pete, right? - Right! - Right! I want... the dragon. - The dragon? - The dragon? - W-W-Wait a minute. Now I got a stitch in my side. You really want the dragon? Very much. Mm-hmm. Well, then, what are you willing to give for it? The help you need getting Pete. I'll need the same kind of help getting the dragon. N-Now I think the pain's in my head! - Have we got a deal? - Sure. We scratch your back, you scratch ours. The boathouse, sunset, hmm? Uh, Doc. What you gonna do with a dragon? Oh, maybe put him on a ranch, breed him. Hmm? Big stud fees. Ahoy. Ahoy. Here. How would you like to make the fishing good again? - How do we do that? - Catch that dragon! Set a trap for him, throw a net over him, drag him away. Good-bye, Elliott. Hello, fish. Hmm? Sunset, the boathouse. Spread the word, hmm? Get back! Get back! Dr. Terminus! Here's that there harpoon you wanted! Good! Put it right over there! Now you just remember our bargain! Okay, I want separate trip lines on the primary tarp, the secondary net and on the tertiary. - T-Tertiary? - What's that? Dragon medicine. - Okay, fix it. - We've done it! Don't signal till you're re... Get this net up off of me! Will you get this... Will you get this net up! Up! Up! Now, I've gotta go and get that kid. You rehearse this and make it run like clockwork or else. Elliott! Elliott, you were terrific the way you saved us from the Gogans. What? Do you mean it? Wow! That's great. You're the most wonderful dragon in the whole world. Wait till I tell Nora! Nora! Nora! Good news! Elliott found Paul, and he's on his way home! - Pete... - I wouldn't say anything like that if I were you. But it's true. Elliott said. Please. There's been enough talk about Paul, and Elliott too. Both of us have to be... realistic. Paul's ship went down. He's not coming back. And I have to adjust my life to it. You have to make a big adjustment too. You have us now. You don't have to make believe your only friend is a dragon. But I'm not making believe. That's what I mean by "realistic." There are no dragons. Except for Elliott. He's real. Lampie, you've seen him, haven't you? Well, I... I thought I saw him. Wait till Paul gets here. Then you'll know how realistic Elliott is. Okay. Until that time, let's try not to talk about it. How about filling the reserve oil can? Sure. Well, at least one of us is entitled to have illusions. Pete! Pete, it's Elliott! - What's the matter? - Elliott's in Passapaka... Pakadaka... He's in town, and he's tearing the place apart. - You've gotta do something. - Oh, no! We should be in the channel. We should've made Passamaquoddy Light by now. There it is It's my home port I didn't think I'll ever see it again It's a welcome sign Looks great to me I know the light keepers personally. - He's in there! Come on! - Elliott! Elliott! Did I say the primary was really the tertiary? Never! - Where's Elliott? - Nowhere! Your hokey-pokey dragon's out helping Santa Claus pull his sled! - Boys! - Let me go! Now you're never gonna get away again! We're gonna put chains on you when you're workin'! - And when you're not workin'. - And when you're sleepin'! Okay, okay. Tear him to pieces in your own time. Right now he is the bait for the trap. Take him where that thing can see him when he comes through the door. He'll head straight for Pete. We spring the trap. After the tertiary net drops on him, I'll give you the signal, and you fire the harpoon right into the middle. - No! No! - Yes! Yes! Got it? Got it! But what I don't got is, h-h-how you gonna get that monster, that hideous beast, that nightmare sent by the devil, to come here? Easy. We get someone he knows to bring him here. Well, who'd be crazy enough to do that? No! No! He knows you. He trusts you. He scares me! He hates me! Hoagy. We are all on this earth for a purpose, and the time for your purpose is now. I know that inside this pale, frail, pathetic shell of a man... there is a Vesuvius ready to erupt. Now, I've known you, man and beast, since, since you were nothing. But now, Hoagy, now, you're still nothing, but you could be something! You can be a somebody. A legend, Hoagy. A legend in your own lifetime, not a joke! The moment's here, Hoagy. Grab it. Grab it! Today the jester. Tomorrow the king! - No! - Get out! E-Elliott. C-Can you come out here for a second? Please? Wake up. W-W-Wake up! D-D-Don't get n-n-nervous! I'm a friend. Don't roast me! Boo! Ahh! H-Hon... Honest. I-I-I-I-I got a m-mess... m-m-m-message about P-P-Pete! T-The G-G-Gogans... Got P-P-P-Pete! Ahh! Aaah! Follow me! There's a reef between us and the channel. Dad, I can't find Pete. - Can you get it lit? - I have to put in a dry wick. Battle stations! I told you! I told you, Elliott! There he is! Look out, Elliott! It's a trap! Aaah! Get him! He's right here! Drop everything! Drop everything! Elliott, over here! Get me out of here! Elliott, don't step on me! - Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? - It's beginnin' to look like a... - Dragon! - Don't say that! I've got it! We've done it! Out! We've got it! We've got it! Hoagy! Please! Please, let me out! - Doc, please! - Get out of there! Get out of there! - Doc, get me out! Get me out! Get me out! - Okay. Okay! Tie him down Help, Elliott, help! Man this harpoon. Take this. Light the fuse. No, no! Don't shoot Elliott! Get him back! Get him back! The other. - Pick him up! - Take him outside! Get out of the way! He's going! Let me get a bead on him! - Elliott, save me! - Don't let him get away again! Get him outta here! - Hands... - Elliott, don't let 'em take me! Wait! Wait! Huh? Pete! Thanks, Elliott. You just listen to me! That there boy belongs to me! I paid fifty dollars for him, plus legals, and I got a bill of sale right here to prove it. Boo. Merle, help! Get me out of here! Don't just stand there Come on! Get me outta here! Get me outta here! You clucks! Let him keep the brat! Come on! Get in the wagon! Wait! Wait for us! Daaah-ah-ah! Aaah-hoo-hoo-hoo! Aaah! Doh! Hoagy, get me down! We've gotta do something! That dragon's gonna get away! Where is he, where's he? Elliott! wait wait, Eliott. I wanna make a deal with you. To.. to buy up all your used and spare parts You know! Like a hangnail or if you shed your skin Or if your hair falls out I'll pay you Top dollar What's the matter with you? Don't you have any business sense? Don't you? Elliott! Elliott! He's gonna eat us up! Oh! In the street. Quite a storm here. Wait a minute. Watch those stairs. Oh, look! Th-Th-There really is a dragon! Yes, and he saved us! - Dragon! - A dragon! A real dragon! Attaboy, Elliott. That ship's headed for the reef! Go down and sound the foghorn! Elliott, quick! Quick! Nora, let me have the light so I can see what I'm doing. Come on, Elliott. You can do it. I got it! Come on, Elliott. Come on, Elliott! Hurry! What's the matter? Everything is wet in here, that's what's the matter! - Don't worry, Lampie. Elliott came. - Elliott? That's all I need is a dragon in here. Ah! Get him outta here! Start your burner, Elliott. Light the wick. All right, Elliott. Go ahead. Light it. Now, Elliott! Now! All right. Where's the fire? What's the matter? He's all squished up in the stairs. El-Elliott? He's real. He's really real. - Of course he is. He's gonna light the wick. - Can he do it? Can he? He can throw a flame clear across to Bar Harbor... if he can get his own burner goin'! - Come on, Elliott! - - Go on! - Come on, Elliott! Blow, Elliott! - Wow! - Elliott, you did it! Look there! That means the harbor is dead ahead, Captain! Hard right rudder! Elliott, I could give you a great big kiss. A dragon, a dragon You bet we saw a dragon So big and brave, he came to save a village in distress He kept the ship from crashing when he heard the S.O.S. He faced a group of villains and he fought them with success He's great He's great - A chum - A pal - A mate A dragon, a dragon We're proud to love a dragon Before he came to fight the storm the night was dark and dim Now everyone in town is safe again because of him He filled the ocean full of fish He packed it to the brim We want it known that he's our very own Nora! Nora! Paul! What happened? We sank in a storm off Cape Patterson I was the only survivor When I woke up in the hospital, I had... I had lost my memory Then the other day a... a strange thing happened My bed suddenly tipped over I dunno how but.. I knocked my head and everything came back to me It's a miracle! It's Elliott Gather around, everyone. I'm gonna have a few appropriate words to say. Gather around. Come on. Closer, closer. There you are, yes. It's nice to see you. Ladies... Ladies and gentlemen, Pete, I want you to thank Elliott the dragon... for the council here and all the townspeople. - You do that? - Well, he's right here. He'd appreciate it if you'd thank him yourself. You mean I can talk right to him? Go right to the main source. That was my campaign... - No, he's over here. - Oh! Oh, over that side.
