"Petey." "Where'd he go?" "He must have went that-a-way." "Petey." "I'll wring his neck!" "Petey." "Petey." "Elliott, put me down." "Spread out!" "They're getting closer." "We better hide." "Stop swinging your tail." "You almost knocked me down." "Here they come." "Squish down!" "Petey." "No, don't!" "Something hit me!" " What something?" " If I knowed what something," "I wouldn't call it "something," I'd call it by its name." "I told you not to swing your tail." "No, no, don't!" "You done it!" "Dumb polecats!" "Fighting it out while that little snake of a kid gets further away!" "Now 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 eating?" "I'll tell you, 'cause you ain't gonna do no eating 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 you understand?" "Well, here's something you will understand." "You're gonna have to start working 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, Petey, Petey!" "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." "Whoops." "One left." "You can have it." "Thanks!" "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" "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 you feel, but you'll have to make yourself invisible." "Nope." "Nope." "Nope." "I'm sorry, but the whole thing has to go." "Behave yourself, Elliott." "Hi!" "I told you not to fool around." "Get on the sidewalk and stay next to me." "Look out, Elliott!" "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!" "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." "You're not one of my pupils." "What school are you playing hooky from?" "I don't go to school." "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?" "Gentlemen, I propose to say" "Passamaquoddy's a beautiful community where the sun always rises and the sun always sets." "Elliott!" "It's a place of serenity and security, where the unexpected never happens." "It's okay, Elliott." "It seems to say, "Welcome!"" "You absolute oaf!" "You idiot!" "Look, 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." " Well, where is this person?" " There he goes!" "Well, detain him." "Detain him." "Elliott." "You spoiled everything." "Darn you, Elliott." "I told you to behave." "Scallops." "And some oysters." "And..." "Hello there, little boy." "Hi." "Hi." "Hey!" "Hey, you look terrible." "Hey, your friend's turned green." "If I didn't know any better," "I'd say he was a dragon." "A..." "Dragon!" "Elliott, didn't I tell you that..." "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." "What are we to do?" "It's true, it's true He'll break us all in two" "He's coming 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 there 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." "What are we to do?" "It's true, it's true" " Old Lampie's in a stew" " 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" "What makes you think there ever was, there never was" "There never, never, ever was a dragon, dragon, dragon" "Dragon, dragon dragon, dragon, dragon" " Now, 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." "And 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." "Sure." "And you know..." "And you know what else?" "There was this boy with it." "And he wasn't afraid." " This boy..." " Now, lie down." "We're in a lot of trouble, and it's all your fault." "I don't wanna play." "You did everything wrong in 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?" "Just playing tic-tac-toe." "Well, this isn't exactly the best place for tic-tac-toe." "The tide's coming in, and high water reaches this cave sometimes." "You better head for home." "You're not from Passamaquoddy, are you?" "Nope." "Just sort of travelling." "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." "What's the matter?" "It's a hand, not a shark." "You can finish that chowder," "if you'd like." "I forgot something." "Be right back." "I forgive you, Elliott." "Stay here till I see what it's like up in the lighthouse." "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!"

" The boy with the dragon." " I know, I know." "Now, just take it easy." "You saw it." "You saw it?" "Well, I didn't actually see it, but I know what it looks like." " But"" " We'll talk about it later." "One thing I must know, it isn't in the lighthouse, is it?" " No, Elliott's down in the cave." " Elliott..." "Elliott?" "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 should be happy." "I'll go down to the saloon and I'll tell the boys." "I'll say, "Boys, here it is." And 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." "Elliott." "He won't start to scratch or fight or set anything on fire, will he?" " Well, he's sort of..." " Sort of what?" " Unpredictable." " Now, don't do anything with Elliott." "Why don't you leave him where he is?" "It's too dangerous to take him into town." "It's dangerous." "Now, I don't want either one of you to say a word about Elliott to anyone." " Do you understand?" " Yes." "Until we've talked this over." "Now, let's all have breakfast." "The lamp has to be polished, and the lens cleaned, and I want to take Pete to buy some new clothes." "Yes, we'll clean Elliott and eat the lamp." "I mean we'll clean the lamp." "Elliott!" "The name's Elliott." "Did you hear that?" "Doc Terminus is coming!" "Are they still after us?" "We lost them." "Good." " Passamaquoddy ahead, ahoy!" " What?" "Passamaquoddy ahead, ahoy!" " No." " Yes." " Slow down!" " My fence!" "Throw out the anchor!" "Since we all concur, gentlemen, I suggest that we adjourn." " Watch Bones." " Get him off of me!" "Get him off!"

" Passamaquoddy!" "Got it." "How wonderful to see your smiling faces again." "All of you." "I've never known such warmth, such welcome, such loving hospitality." "Get out, you 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."

" He'll never..." "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 saw it." "I actually saw it!" "And I haven't been the same since!" "You go down to the cave, you'd see it, too, and your eyes would just pop right out!" "I was there." "I saw nothing!" "Dad, be realistic." "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 waiting for over a year hasn't told you nothing, 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." "Hi, Elliott!" "How do you like my new suit?" "And new shoes, too." "Look at the way they shine!" "Nora's so nice to me, I want us to do something for her."

" 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." "Wait." "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!" "His name is Elliott." "He's downstairs." "You could go and see him right now if you wanted to." "Unfortunately, I cannot make it right now." "I have an appointment with a young lady who's interested in a nursing career." " I wanna see it." " You wanna see it?" " Well, see it you shall!" " Okay." "I tell you that he's in there." " Are you convinced?" " Absolutely." " Let's get out of here." " Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "I wanna pet him." "You wanna pet him?" "Are you crazy?"

"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 got me!" "Look at it!" "Them eyes are looking right through us." "Look, don't ever let a dragon know you're afraid of him." "Stop." "Stop shaking and smile." "Can't stop shaking, and I am smiling." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello, Elliott." "See how smart he is?" "He said "hello" to me." "Yeah!" "He likes me!" "You do something so he'll like you." " Like me?" " Yeah." "Do something to make him like you." "YOU think?" "Elliott, would you like a little belt?" "Is it two parts fish oil and three parts seawater and six parts potato squeezings, or is it only two parts seawater?" "Ten parts seawater?" "That much." "No wonder they love it." " Saw it." " Saw what?" "What is an el-el-el dra-dra-dra?" "Dragon." "I saw the dragon." "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?" "Never saw anything so horrible in my life." "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." "I ain't got hardly nothing to sell." "So?" "I pulled my nets in, and there weren't a fish in them." "I just docked." "There ain't nothing out in that ocean but water." "It's real strange, I'm telling you." "It's like every fish sort of 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 nothing 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 will make the fish come back." "There he goes, talking 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!"

"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."

"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 you $3." " Offer him $4!" "I'll offer him $5, it'll make his head swim. $5." "I can't sell him." "I don't own him." " Well, what did you 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." "Doc, maybe you should talk to Elliott yourself." "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 Lop him up, chop him up" "Can't you hear that jingle-jangle sound?" "Oh, yeah" "It's money, money, money by the pound" "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..." "Started already, huh?" "Look, if you're gonna whitewash, son, look, let your brush go up and down, up." "That's it, boy." "And down." " Up and down." "Up and down." " Up." "That's right." "That's right." "Yeah." "This is fun." "Well, 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." "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." "No, no, no!" "Not on me!" "Not on me!" "On the side of the building, please?" " Now up..." " And down." " Up and down." " Up and down." "You know what?" "It's a brazzle dazzle day" "So throw off the past and everything in it" "That's the brazzle dazzle way" "Enjoying your time from minute to minute" "Running through the sand without your shoes on" "Shoes on" "Making sure that you don't keep your blues on" "Finding a boat we can cruise on" "It's a brazzle dazzle day" "When you think of love and never of sorrow" "That's the brazzle dazzle way" "To do your work now" "And take off tomorrow" "Flying through the air You don't need wings on" "Wings on" "Climb right up and feel the thrill it brings on" " Rock with the wind as it sings on" " Rock with the wind as it sings on" " Ride higher and higher" " Ride higher and higher" " And glide above the clouds" " And glide above the clouds" " Free" " Free" " No one to catch us or slow us" " No one to catch us or slow us" " Even the birds are below us" " Even the birds are below us" " It's a brazzle dazzle day" " It's a brazzle dazzle day" " A lifetime of joy in just a few hours" " A lifetime of joy in just a few hours" " All our brazzle dazzle years" " All our brazzle dazzle years" " Have just begun" " Have just begun" " We'll follow the sun and replay" " We'll follow the sun and replay" " This brazzle dazzle day" " This brazzle dazzle day" "When your job becomes a frolic you'll become a brazzaholic" " Ride higher and higher" " Ride higher and higher" " And glide above the clouds" " And glide above the clouds" " Free" " Free" " No one to catch us or slow us" " No one to catch us or slow us" " Even the birds are below us" " Even the birds are below us" " It's a brazzle dazzle day" " It's a brazzle dazzle day" " A lifetime of joy in just a few hours" " A lifetime of joy in just a few hours" " All our brazzle dazzle years" " All our brazzle dazzle years" " Have just begun" " Have just begun" " We'll follow the sun and replay" " We'll follow the sun and replay" " This brazzle dazzle day" " This brazzle dazzle day" " This brazzle dazzle day" " This brazzle dazzle day" "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Whoa, boy." "Say, have you seen anything of a mean, fresh kid about yea big?" "Answers to the name of Pete." "Half of the kids in this town answer to the name of Pete." "Other half don't answer." " Let me break his bones, Pa!" " Just a minute!" "This particular Pete, he's always talking to his big, hokey pokey whatchamacallit..." " Dragon." " Dragon." "Dragon?" "Merle, this here's the place." "Come on, Willie." "It would be unethical of me to leave my patient at a time like this." "It's important." "About the dragon." "Put your foot on there." "Now, don't move, stay tense, or that weight will fall, that clamp will break your jaw tear your gums apart and go clean through your cheek." "Tense." "Tense!" "See that wagonload of worms?" "They're looking for the kid and the dragon." "I knew there'd be competition." "Come on." "Careful as you bring them aside." "I got one!" "I got one!" "It's ugly!" "Well!" "If it ain't our own little Petey!" "The Gogans!" "Well, you look so nice and clean, and those new clothes." "I guess all those good manners I taught you done paid off." "Who's that pretty lady you're with, little Pete?" " Yeah." "Introduce us." " Yeah." "Introduce us." "I'm Nora, and Pete is staying with me." "Why, boys, I believe she's trying to break up our happy little family." "Elliott went to look for Paul." "I wish he were here." "Don't worry." "They won't get you." "Come on, Dad." "I guess we're gonna take him back now, miss, to his own home, sweet home." "Come on, Pete." "You won't be taking him anywhere!" "Okay, lady." "We're gonna take him whether you like it or not." " Right, boys?" " Right, Pa." "Willie, you grab onto Pete while I hold onto her." "You grab Pete." "I wanna hold her." " I wanna hold her!" " Well, I'm gonna hold her!" "All right!" "I'll settle this." "You two grab the brat." "I'll hold her." "If you think you're gonna hold her like my boys wanna hold her, you're gonna be holding your head, you understand?"

"Now, you want Pete, right?" " Right!" " Right!" "I want the dragon." " The dragon?" " The dragon?" "Wait, wait, wait a minute." "Now I got a stitch in my side." "You really want the dragon?" "Very much." "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." "Now I think the pain's in my head!" " Have we got a deal?" " Sure." "We scratch your back, you scratch ours." "The boathouse at sunset." "Doc." "What you gonna do with a dragon?" "Maybe put him on a ranch, breed him?" "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." "Goodbye, Elliott." "Hello, fish." "Sunset, the boathouse." "Spread the word." " Okay." " Right." " It's a good idea." " Yeah." "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." " Tertiary?" " What's that?" "Dragon medicine." " Okay, fix it." " We've done it!" "Don't signal till you're..." "Get this net up off of me!" "Will you get this..." "Will you get this net up!" "Up!" "Up!" "Now, I've got to 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 oilcan?" "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 got to do something." " No!" "We should be in the channel." "We should've made Passamaquoddy light by now." "I know the light-keepers personally." " He's in there!" "Come on!" " Elliott!" "Elliott!" "Didn't you 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 working!" " And when you're not working." " And when you're sleeping!" "Okay, okay." "Tear him to pieces in your own time." "Right now he is the bait for the trap." "Take him in there 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 that harpoon right into the middle." "No!" "No!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Got it?" "Got it!" "What I don't got is, 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 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!" "Elliott." "Can you come out here for a second?" "Please?" "Wake up." "Wake up!" "Don't get nervous!" "I'm a friend." "Don't roast me!" "Honest." "I got a message about Pete!" "The Gogans got Pete!" "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!" "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 beginning to look like a..." " Dragon!" " Don't say that!" "I've got 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!" "Help!" "Elliott, help!" "Man this harpoon." "Take this." "Light the fuse." "No, no!" "Don't shoot Elliott!" "Get him back!" " Get him back!" " Get him outside!" "Come on, Grover!" "Pick him up!" "Come on!" "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 out of here!" " Hands..." " Elliott, don't let them take me!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Pete!" "Thanks, Elliott." "You just listen to me!" "That there boy belongs to me!" "I paid $50 for him plus legals, and I got a bill of sale right here, right here to prove it." "Merle, help!" "Don't just stand there!" "You dimwits!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Get me out of here!" "Get me out of here, clucks!" "Let him keep the brat!" "Come on!" "Get in the wagon!" "I'll never touch him again." "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Wait for us!" "I said, "Wait!"" "Hoagy, get me down!" "We've got to do something!" "That dragon's gonna get away!" "He's gonna eat us up!" "...In the street." "Quite a storm here." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Wait." "Watch those stairs." "Look!" "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." "' 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." "Get him out of here!" "Start your burner, Elliott." "Light the wick." "All right, Elliot'[." "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." "Elliot'£?" "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 Harbour, if he can get his own burner going!" " Come on, Elliott!" " Come on!" "Blow, Elliott!" "Elliott, you did it!" "Look there!" "That means the rocks are 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. 0.8." "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!" "Gather around, everyone." "I 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." " Over that side." "So, Elliott, on behalf of..." "Thank you." "Thank you." "It's a brazzle dazzle day" "So throw off the past and everything in it" "That's the brazzle dazzle way" "Enjoying your time from minute to minute" "Hi!" "Elliott, you're the greatest." "You've made everybody happy, especially me." "I'm very proud of you." "We've got a real family now and a place to live." "You've got to go?" "When will you be back?" "You won't be back?" "But why?" "Did I do something wrong?" "There's another kid in trouble?" "Well, if anyone can get him out of it, you can." "I won't see you again, will I?" "Even" "What are you sniffing for?" "Now, remember, don't scare people." "Goodbye, Elliott." "Goodbye." "It is a dragon!" " It's Elliott!" " It's Elliott!" "And remember, you're supposed to be invisible!"
