" It's snowing!" " Feathers are flowing." "Wendy, Matthew, stop it!" "They've all gone to the theatre and I promised that nothing would happen to you or the cleaning plant." "Relax, pass me the catcher." " Matthew!" "Stop it!" " Give me the catcher." "You know, how long it took me?" "Mustn't damage it." "Grand-dad, does grannie know we'll be doing improvements?" "Grannie is pleased that this machine cleans feathers." " It'll be able to catch, won't it?" " What, though?" "That's the big surprise." "Go on with you, get washed, I'll be with you in a tick." "Don't break anything!" "We promised, right?" "Are we some wild animals?" "Worse!" "Off with you!" "We'll clean your duvet ...even from evil dreams'" "A Prince went to the Dragon Hills, got off his horse..." "Stay." "Barged into the dragon's cave..." "Princess was still in one piece." "Dragon had three heads." "Prince unsheathed his sword and cut off one head, then another, but the third head was perfidious, attacked the Prince from behind" "and fastened on to his armour." " Grand-dad, I'm scared." " What if we have nightmares?" "No fear, we'll surely deal with nightmares." " So, beddy-byes." " Grand-dad, I'm feeling sleepy." "THE MAGICAL DUVET" "This town cleans feathers like no-one' business... disbelief tied in tethers, folk gossip in their fussiness." "No-one knows what awaits, when getting into feather beds." "Expecting some human traits, if evil dreams raise their heads." "The blind is up." "The blind is up." "From certain time after dusk have no fear, sleep well." "I sense change in my tusk, dream will appear from hell." "Perchance I'll meet her in my vision." "Good times don't roll for sleepers." "And she won't bring looks of derision." "You can have me for real, creepers." "You can have me for real, creepers!" "Not alone to deal with evil dreams, the blind is up." "Queue for duvets in streams, this rendition needs no leg-up." "Not alone to deal with evil dreams," "the blind is up." "Queue for duvets in streams," "this rendition needs no leg-up." "FEATHER CLEANERS" " Hang on, I'll help you!" " No need." " I'll give you a hand." " Leave it alone!" " Does it not need lubricating?" " My husband will do it on his return." "Nobody will do his work for him." "Same as you." "Marlene, we've tried everything, all forces have been informed." "He's vanished, disappeared into thin air." " Facts speak louder than words..." " Leave comparisons to yourself." " One day he'll appear like..." " A bolt from the sky, hey?" "Yes." "That would be typical of him." "Matthew, what does this mean?" "What is this?" "Do you want to lose an eye?" "As if one tragedy wasn't enough." "Lost grandpa and a one-eyed grandson." "A new nanny is coming today, what will she think?" " Mum, I dreamt..." " You were a princess once again." "Yes, and my beads split open, and an evil hag slipped on them." "All right, get dressed, go downstairs and get father, OK?" "Help!" " Dad, how are you?" "Are you warm?" " You weren't cold in that anorak?" "And I made it from the finest feathers!" "I am really at a loss." "Daddy, you need toughening up." "Daddy, try toughened feathers." "What did you say?" "Toughened feathers?" "That's an excellent idea, I'll order extra-fit ducks, and if they aren't tough enough we have our cold storage, after all." "Let's see to it." " Dad, careful with your vertigo." " Do me a favour..." "At night I dreamt of a hanged man." " They dragged him behind on a rope." " It's only a dream." "Once we clean the duvet it will never return." " I dreamt..." " I know, about girls." " No, I was flying." " Phillip, what happened?" "I had my first lesson." "Marlene, I need a wee pillow to take to work." "Is your work for sleeping?" "Oh no, under my bum." "It's chilly, especially early on." " We have a new neighbour." " I know, a fortune-teller." "She could have explained the meaning of my dream." "I dreamt I was dressed all in black." "In black, but at my own wedding." "The bride was like you, Marlene." "I dreamt about a blackberry pie." "I could ask her what it all means." "I analyse from the book why you dreamt a particular dream, the cards will show what to do to ensure you never have such a dream ever again." "I'm not afraid." "We have our duvets cleaned and we don't have horrific dreams." "None of us." "Come on, Federico." "Hang on, I have a teeny problem." "Federico here kind of rattles at night and then jerks with his paw." "Girl like a dream I stargaze, oh, I'd love to pamper." "She can only be seen in a haze, when my eyes close in a temper." "I yearn to know her, to take her by her hand, kiss her and win her over." "Just laugh out loud, take our hearts, and create love without a cloud." "I yearn to know her, to take her by her hand, kiss her and win her over." "Just laugh out loud, take our hearts, and create love without a cloud." "Good morning." "I've brought your pillow back." "I sewed it myself." "For you." "We printed her off this morning." "My dream." "Beautiful, isn't she?" "Seems rather artificial to me..." "I'll get your duvet cleaned so no evil dreams will come to you." "Nothing evil..." "I always have such a lovely dream." "I'd love to meet her sometimes..." "even during the day." "I'll be off then." "Good night." "Goodbye." "Betty, what's up?" "He'll never love me, I'll never seem attractive to him." " Stop crying, blokes aren't worth it." " Not blokes, just the one." " You'll have it done express." " I'll wait then." " What's that lovely fragrance?" " Not me." "It's Mr. Charles' duvet." "FEATHERS - lightweight, flyweight, welterweight..." "Duckie-service?" "I need to order some really toughened up ducks." "What?" "You've no toughened up ducks?" "Even from birth?" "OK then, no matter, I'll order twenty ducks." "I'll toughen them up myself." "All right, thank you, I'll take the twenty." "Girls what anoraks they'll be!" "Boss, I'll be those feathers short." "Betty, what's heavier, a kilogram of feathers or iron?" " Clear as daylight, kilo of iron." " Really?" "Why, the same." "What's heavier?" "A duvet full of feathers or iron?" "Well, the same." " Betty, Betty." " Heck, I'm a nincompoop!" "Why, the iron one!" "Neighbours should be helpful, I help you, you me, get it?" "That is why I carry out here this neighbourly mission on merit!" "I want it to be as good as new." "Featherlight feathers in lieu." "An evil dream cannot hide in her." "And I had a sweet dream about a pie." "I dreamt meantimes of my marriage." "I, of one, who left with his carriage." "If I described my dream, you won't even take your tea." "You'd say, let her go and scream, wench, blagging her way to the sea." "Mine is of a guy built like an ox, hands like shovels, burnt-out eyes, a canny fox from head to toe he grovels!" "Steals children, carries them in a sack, hides them in a pig-sty." "Mrs. Hetty, the duvet will be clean and an end to evil dreams." "Your dream really steals children?" "What does it mean?" "And what about my wedding dream?" "It'll be ready tomorrow." "I wish you many customers." "I have no more fear of that." "Hang on with that!" "A strange duvet." "Zuzie, I don't fancy this one." "But mum!" "We've had a-plenty of such duvets to clean!" "We won't go mental just because of one old bag, hey?" "What's going on?" "It sounded like the cellar." "Where is Marlene?" "Marlene!" "Marlene, I'm coming!" "No, no..." "In the name of the Law, open up!" "It's me, police, Otto." "What's going on here?" "Who are you harbouring here?" "Have they been registered?" "It actually grabbed me, I'll never come back in here." " What was it?" " You threw it at me on purpose?" "I am trying to keep this place tidy and you..." " It wasn't me." " And who else?" "What are you doing here?" "Carefully!" " Zuzie!" " Don't come in here!" "Zuzie, what shall we do now?" "Relax, cleaning machine just blew." " It's not a tragedy." " Really?" "Depends for whom." "Easy does it, we'll repair it." "A few feathers, that's all." "But in the cellar..." "Someone's live dream, I am, don't know the dreamer." "May belong among the cream, maybe to some poor screamer." "Someones live dream, had to be worth it." "Even if came the morn steam, I dream, can't curse it." "I'm a dream..." "Dream..." "Someone's live dream, I am, don't know the dreamer." "May belong to some team, maybe to some poor screamer." "Someone's live dream, had to be worth it." "Why hurry away, I'm available, can't curse it." "Dream..." "And in the end had to bring even the champagne." "What's this here?" "In your places!" "And you?" "Looking for someone?" "Yes." "It's here in the house..." "Probably in the attic..." "Has the agency sent you because of the kids?" "Come along then." "Expected somebody older, come along, children expect you." "But boss, that ain't..." "It's..." "It's her." "Children, where are you?" "Quickly, come on." "Is this the duvet kingdom?" "We can afford it." "Children, this is your new nanny." " Nanny?" " Nanny?" "She will see that you tidy up, eat your food and obey parents." "This is for you to play with." "Right, I'm a nanny in this dream." " Will you play with us?" " Gladly, what with?" " Won't you send us into the bathroom?" " Why, you're not dirty." " What about brushing our teeth?" " Only if you like the taste of paste." " You really do?" " No!" " Lollipops are better." " Yippee!" " What about tidying up?" " A bit early, isn't it?" "You'll make a mess by evening again." " What if we get tired by evening?" " A rest is best for tiredness." " And what about the tidying up?" " What do I know?" "Where I was dreamt up it was always beautifully tidy and clean, champagne on the table, caviar in the fridge and in bed..." " Toys!" " Can't imagine it!" " What about food?" " Do we have to have breakfast?" "Where would you put all that food?" "Heck, you're so tiny." "This is really a dream!" "Who has known me fairly well, a woman of many trials and by fate sorely tried, yet today different most plainly." "With a cast for a month, scratched as if by files, on hands and even knees, and by own fault mainly." "As summers pass, strength I prune to face more and more wicked turns of fortune." "I, who knows one's fallen graces brave seem to all my loving faces." "Experience protects me, fall from grace" "I foretell and refuse to brace." "I mustn't fear but a trace." "You've been flying again!" " Second lesson." " I'm intrigued about the third one." "No-one can say, no way can we see arise random things from which surmise things that are pleasing." "And I, in peace, become more every second I had, when kids out with their duvets hang them from balconies, teasing." "As summers go, strength I prune to face more and more wicked turns of fortune." "Has it in her, comes up trumps, we know full well, we know." "She'll manage." "Has it in her, comes up trumps." "I mustn't fear but a trace." " What are you wearing?" " Family is worried about us." "And we can jump about in it, look." "Brats from the cleaners!" "Do you know where the house with the cleaners is?" "I'm to look after the children." "But I missed the station and..." " Someone else looks after the kids." " Be glad, they are really naughty." "But I was counting on it!" "If your shoes aren't hurting, might as well go hopping, if shins have protection, falling brings no friction." "If your shoes aren't hurting, might as well go hopping, if shins have protection, falling brings no friction." "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Discipline dissolves, don't expect else of selves, when walking lacks bit of order." "Jumpy monkeys meet in the middle of a street and teach thinks 'morder'." "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Whoever digs exercise, has will to make jump exorcise." "For maturing our walk once adults we stalk." "Not next year, you lump!" "Step to good luck is a jump." "Jump!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump is more than a step, y'know!" "Jump, surely, is the right step." "Step to good luck is a jump." "Jump, surely, is the right step." "Step to good luck is a jump." "Off we go, children..." "Jump, surely, is the right step." "Hello, where is the house with the cleaners?" "House with the cleaners, look, it's this one." "I hope you're feeling courageous today." "Hello, my pretty girl." "Matthew, Wendy, home, quickly!" "It's all because of her." "Don't look at it, you'll end up dreaming about it." "How can I clean up the dreams now?" "Children, I could interpret that dream of yours." "Thank you, but no need." " Yippee, interpret a dream." " Come on in." "Because of her we're closed." "We'll clean your duvet..." " Mum, where did this come from?" " It somehow belonged to it." "How am I supposed to repair it?" "Only grand-dad could do that." "Dad, I think cleaning is at an end." "When I pull the third beer for that gent's table," "I have to drink it all myself." "Third one's missing!" "Used to turn it into a good cheer, never had enough!" "I'll never sell this third pint." "We'll sup it together!" "In memory of a good mate, not afraid when a blow was laid, who never sat with his back to us, brain-waves without a fuss!" "You miss him for a laugh, I for life." "Where should I look for thee, my silly fighter?" "Why don't I see you even in a dream?" "Why don't I see you even in a dream?" " Why don't I see you..." " Cheers." " Good afternoon, neighbours." " Hello, Marlene." " We're toasting Larry." " I don't even see Larry in a dream." "Blimey, that's strange." "Y'know, neither do I since the time he disappeared?" "Not once." "Kept blundering around the machine saying that he's got it." "Do you know how this fits into the cleaning machine?" "Heck, only if we knew!" "But we don't." "Larry took this mystery with him, but where to?" " Here you go, Marlene." " Thanks, Ed." "I'll be off." " So long." " Take care." "Damn!" "Larry!" "In memory of a good mate, not afraid when a blow was laid, who never sat with his back to us," "brain-waves without a fuss!" "We miss him!" "We miss him!" "We miss him!" "Thank you, Zuzie." "Thank you, gran." " Gramp usually brought it, right?" " I made an exception today." " Here!" " Well, mum!" " Georgie..." " How can one fight with this?" " Come and help me." " I'll do it." "Do me a favour, I'll manage." " Be careful." " Don't worry." "Children!" "Wendy!" "Come on." "I don't get things out of the blue, I get you without a clue." "Zuzie, sorry, that awful vertigo of mine." "I see a bloke built like an ox." "A sack on his back and something grinding inside." " Hands like shovels?" " Yes." " Looks like this?" " How?" "Yep." "Don't look." "Mr. Charles, what's up?" "Don't work too hard at the printers." "Get a move on!" " Children, get up!" " Hi, mum." " Sorry, only can when he's asleep." " Not much cleaning done last night." "Strange, I always wake up and everything is tidy." "And on the table a rose and a box, smaller the better." "And I never get anything." "What about the mess then?" "Mum, what if you're sleeping and you just imagine the mess?" "Come back when you wake up." "What should we call you?" " I've as many names as there are men." " Women don't give you names?" "Yes, but in polite society the names are unusable." " We are polite society?" " Certainly, and most jolly at that." " What about Charmaine?" " Got called that by a scatterbrain." " What about Joan?" " He was always on the phone." " What about Jude?" " He was ever so rude." " What about Nancy?" " That name I don't fancy." "Dream has lots of names!" "Another day the list expands only with the names of women." "Dream has names of women's solely, enveloped by names, dream has the names of women." " What about sweetie?" " Better a car that's meaty." " What about kitten?" " All right, but won't be bitten." " What about Jackie?" " Tends to be rather tacky." " What about Alice?" " Lf she has no malice!" " Matthew!" " Brother!" " Matthew, where are you?" "Come out, don't hide." "As you wish." "I can't make a bloke's bed." " Where were you?" " In the duvet, enormous inside." "I've got vertigo like dad." "Look, pearls." " Wow!" " Take them, they're real." "Got dreamt so much by so many!" "COMMON DUCK" " SPRING DUCK SUMMER DUCK" " POLAR DUCK" "Betty, what's lighter?" "Duck with feathers or duck without feathers?" " Easy, duck with feathers." " No." "Duck without feathers." "Fleeced duck can't fly." " So, duck with feathers is lighter." " Oh, Betty, duck without feathers." "We've weights, we can weigh things." "Feathers weigh something, so, a featherless duck is lighter." "Oh gosh, boss, I'm really awfully thick." "No wonder nobody fancies me." " You're handy and weights do exist." " Lf you're not sure you weigh it." "Which geezer needs to know which duck is lighter?" " More like, how to cook it." " I'm good at that." "Or baking a cake." "Spot on, it's Mr. Charles' birthday tomorrow." "So what?" "I'm not bothered." "I won't be taking a cake upstairs." "Just to gape at that stunner all over the place." "Ooh, boss, couldn't you take it up to him?" "Oh, all right, I will." "It's not a problem for me." "To the at... to the attic." "Boss, your ducks have arrived." "What's going on here?" "Nearly killed that madam." "Hi, dad." "This will be a fine." "Name of this duck?" " Annie." " Annie..." "A fat fine coming up." "Who pays goes a long way..." "Where are you taking me?" " We'll take advice as to your name." " They understand dreams." "We'd love to find out, madam, sorry, name of the girl, she is a dream!" "Someone is dreaming, no worry, the reason she's out at full steam." "I'm a dream..." " You interpret dreams?" " I sure do, sweetie." "Dream..." " Can you name them?" " Of course." "Have you some cash?" "I cannot interpret for free." "It's exhausting." "Pensions are a joke too." " They are real." " Let's see!" "I've had so many names, many-a-time night towards the stars I stream, that's why I ask you as my light, even if you fail to see me in your dreams." "I am a dream..." "I'm still not convinced that it's a dream and not a woman." "Dream..." " Who should know better?" " You're an expert in dreams." " Your judgment must be exact." " Perhaps I'll pinch you." "When I pinch my arm, truth will soon disarm." "When I pinch my leg, dreams and phantoms beg." "And when I pinch my rear end," "I sing round the bend." "Dneb eht dnuor gnis I." "When I pinch my lip," "I list in my written slip, and all pinching nonetheless" "I'll be forced to confess, that this girl is truly a dream." "And you kids, out at full steam!" " You're a dream, are you?" " I am." "Sit down." "Place your hands on the ball and stay still," "I'll just prepare something." "Surely, you can't kill a dream." "Ah, where is she?" "That was an awful dream." "She was with the kids and someone wanted to kill her." " Who?" " That girl." "With a knitting-needle." " With what?" " A needle." "She was alive, like you, and beautiful too." "Like me?" "I'm bored." "God knows how long she'll search for her name." " We'll take a stroll, come." " Matthew, we must go home." "We haven't been in town all alone." "A little trip, let's go." " Mum will be angry." " We'll look at some nice shop fronts." "Not those which our parents peer at." "And they think we're with our nanny." "Eager kids have no inkling, what danger means." "As their age is barely twinkling, they foresee naught bad, it seems." "Even so we are not afraid to run around town on one's own." "We know of evil when we prayed, so, please, no dread or frown." " We avoid narrow passages." " Do avoid narrow passages." " We don't take sweets." " Don't take sweets." " We look after ourselves." " Do look after yourselves." "We know our boundaries." "My cookies!" "I'll give you what for!" "We know all too well what may happen, when kids go to town." "We know well what may happen, when they go to town alone." "You scoundrels!" "When kids go to town..." "Wendy!" "Wendy, I'm here." "Thanks." "Little ones, here..." " Wendy." " My bro!" "Isn't that the bloke?" "Not sure." "It's him and yet it isn't." " Little ones, here..." " Look out!" "Quickly, let's split!" "Home really quickly and our lips are sealed." "That woman over the road, I'd like to wring..." " What to do without the machine?" " Just as well we have the ducks." " My anoraks will keep us going." " No way!" "Jealousy of an evil woman, her be our new flotsam here, sailing through a deluge in fear of very bad matters." "Cleaning machine destroyed by an evil woman." " I want to see her bowed." " She has to pay for sure!" "Nip that Hilda in the bud, cool her heartburn, time of revenge is close." "Revenge is right, when ample motive it provides." "Consequences left by the wayside." "Let Hilda foretell her lengthy demise." "When trying to give us a lesson she has reason enough to cower." "We lose our aura, when beaten mercilessly." "Moment of hitting back is here, payback time is upon us." "Nip that Hilda in the bud, cool her heartburn, time of revenge is close." "Revenge is right, when ample motive it provides." "Consequences left by the wayside." "Let Hilda foretell her lengthy demise." "When trying to give us a lesson she has reason enough to cower." " Witch!" " Afraid to show herself." " Old hag, won't get away with this." " Good evening." " The one about the dragon!" " Not that one." "I did that one last time and you thrashed about all night." "One about the enchanted princess." "Or about the poked out eyes, or the drowned man in honey, or perhaps wee souls in a cup?" " What about reading from the dailies?" " No!" " Rather tell us something." " Like, when you were little..." "Evening time you let your daily ration of naughtiness go." "You ignore gaily my childhood of long ago." "Snug in my duvet I observed the night, the chilly North Star ahead lit up to help my sight." "I sing my song now for you into your duvets." "Now onwards just sweet dreams." "Then one slept perhaps a little more." "Children dreamt of their flight to the Moon." "Before new dawn rises, you sleep tight." "Each has their favourite dream, perhaps one can hang on to it." "My wish is audacious, let all your dreams come back." "Waiting for sleep shortens this song of ours." "I sing a song for you, a lullaby." "From now on, just let dreams come, beautiful dreams." "It's pitch dark like in that sack." "Come over here." "Oh, all right." "When grand-dad was here with us he kept playing with those buttons." "I tried it in the morning and got inside the duvet." "We'll try it." " Where are we?" "In the duvet?" " Wow, just imagine that." " In my duvet?" " Of course, where else?" "I see, this is my dream." " When will the ball start?" " I know." "When you fall asleep." "That will be a lovely dream, I am so sleepy." "Isn't that the man?" " It is." "The one who kidnapped you." " What's he doing in my duvet?" " You'll be dreaming about him." " Do something!" "If only I had my sling..." "Hang on, I'll be right back." "He won't kidnap you again, promise." "I've got my arms, I'm coming to join you." "Wendy, hang on!" "Why doesn't the duvet let me go in?" "What am I doing wrong?" "I can't get in it." "Hey, this is no longer a joke, come out." "I'll try to fall asleep, and then I'll find you." "Get a move on!" " I know whose dream you are." " Really?" "Whose?" "I want to know." "What name does he use in his sleep?" "I'll tell you, but you mustn't appear in his dream anymore." "But why?" "When he wakes up you can have him." "But I don't want to share him!" "I just want him all for myself." "Can't help you, my involvement is beyond my control." "Dream upon me gathers, when I wake up in feathers." "Wake, dream, wake." "I get it, a new day." "Each time your dream is blown away, upon where I lay." "I saunter around town, hanging on to the bride's gown," "I dream about her, dream on." "Alone arise at morn, alone lay your head down, before you sense who loves you, who loves you." "You just keep your eyes open as to who you bump into, who dreams about you, when nodding off to find your dream." "How glad I'd be now to find my duvet in tow." "Duvet in tow." "Alone arise at morn, alone lay your head down, before you sense who loves you." "Who loves you." "I know I'll come upon my dream, perchance tomorrow or year after next." "I know my dream will come true," "I hang on to my hope." "Matthew, Wendy, up we get!" "Children, it's morning." "Matthew?" " Matthew, where is Wendy?" " Is she not here?" " I dreamt that he kidnapped her." " Who?" "The bloke built like an ox." "Oh, it wasn't a dream then." " What are you on about?" " Can one disappear in a duvet?" "We managed to get inside it." "Anything is possible in a duvet." "But I hope Wendy didn't fall asleep in it." "Who falls asleep inside a duvet never wakes up." "I'm an only child then." "Otto, you have to help us." "Our Wendy has got lost." "What's going on, Marlene?" " Seems their little girl is lost." " That is a tragedy." "But you could help them out." "Advise them where to look." "They'll turn up..." "Perhaps she is just hiding somewhere." "Didn't even feed the ducks." "Her slippers are here, she's not allowed to run barefoot." " Slippers..." " Not allowed." "Maybe she got lost like grand-dad?" "No sign of him by morning either." "Perhaps she stayed in the duvet." " In the duvet?" " I saw her there the last time." "How could she?" "More likely a camel goes through an eye of a needle." "It's simple." "Suffices to know the right combination of buttons, wait until dusk or dawn, and you've done it." " And who may you be?" " She looks after our children." "Your name?" " I'd like to know that as well." " Your ID." "It's a dream, can't have any ID." " Whose dream?" " Mr. Charles', of course." " And who is Mr. Charles?" " Our tenant in the attic." "Really?" "And who are you?" "She'd love to be Mr. Charles' dream." "But he'd have to dream about her." "Wendy dreamt about a bloke who kidnaps children." "Dreamt, dreamt..." "Nothing but dreams." "Right, it seems we, kind of, have the culprit." "Wendy was kidnapped by her own dream!" "There is one last place left where to seek help." "Best advice I know 'til now is what experience tells me, help yourself, y'know how, for alone I remain." "Taking advice is no shame, when you're up the creek, no use being tame!" "We're neighbours, after all!" " Bed empty, grand-daughter away." " I know, loss makes you sway." " Tell me, any ideas to stress?" " Can't let you blunder in distress!" "If you help me out too!" "What can I say in lieu?" "Want the mystery of duvets?" "Help quickly, she may end up dead." "No time for any jest." "I will see to my task at my best." "Nightmares love duvets." "Machine mars my work, no more said." " Under clean beds no evil dreams lie." " Where are they?" " Shut..." "...in the cellar, no lie!" " How do you know?" " It rhymes, so where else can it be?" "When dreams get their freedom seal I will fulfill my part of the deal." "It'll get sorted somehow." "Where is my sweet Wendy?" "Not dead, still breathing." " Slowly, Georgie, slowly." " It's not a problem going down." "Grandma, what's happened?" "What is it?" " I let the dreams go." " Who?" " Our machine got rid of evil dreams." " Our cleaner could even do that?" " Grand-dad's invention." " That's why they all slept so well." " Why did you do it, though?" " I had to." "Now Hilda will tell us, where to look for Wendy." "Hilda?" "That wretched witch?" "You'll see." "CLOSED" "When will it get dark?" " You want to know exactly?" " A guess will do." "The police don't make guesses, accuracy is the privilege of kings." "It gets dark exactly, by evening." "That's pretty accurate." "It's me." "Mr. Charles doesn't really deserve this, but someone should remember that it's his birthday today." "Boss, you promised that you'd take it upstairs for me." "He mightn't open up for me." " Upstairs?" " Do we have time?" "Time is of no essence... 'til eve." "We'll manage it then." "Having promised." " To the attic?" " Promises are promises." "It's high up, Georgie." "High up." "Boss, just a heart on top." "Many thanks." "Don't mention it." "What wouldn't I do for you." "A man is climbing, his stairs covered in velvet, mate soils the rope with blood, woven from bats fiber." "Beyond the chimney birds sleep, bathrooms made of gutters." "Take those rusty rivets and your rope, soon clouds will be your guide." "Dust down your stick and old hat, sunburn keep at bay." "Sturdy boots, rum and oxygen, weather is mixed." "When the flag keeps flying high, all sherpas you must greet." "Don't forget to wave." "In that attic, roof of the world, stand proud." "Dust feathers on tops like snowflakes fall." "Mates trust in all weathers, tears ensued by mirth standing tall." "Sunday best the folk get dressed in." "Bandleader is ready." "Came out at one, now 4 hours later, in a jiffy the day is done." "All is standing, all falls down, on that last etage." "Still, you love him, for the reason that, at least, he had a go." "It's to no avail, like expensive stones, like a river in your veins, which springs from your heart." "What more can he give, what he promises is God-given." "Smooth your dress with your palm and let the music play on." " Good morning." " Good morning." "It's to no avail, like expensive stones, like a river in your veins, which springs from your heart." "What more can he give, what he promises is God-given." "Smooth your dress with your palm and let the music play on." " Ah, Mr. Charles..." " Good morning." " You ate it so quickly?" " Sorry?" "You didn't have to kick it." "I just wanted to congratulate you." "But Betty..." "I didn't kick it." "Thanks for the cake." "You're the only one who remembered." "That's just the job, Zuzie." " How are you doing, dad?" " Didn't they tell you what happened?" "Why are you such a wimp that you get sick from the first floor up?" "We'll do some training, dad." "No we won't, I have to take a nap." "Carefully, or..." "Dad, don't sleep, not yet." "Wait." "It's getting dark, we have to go and save Wendy." "I'm nodding off." " I'll make you a nice coffee, OK?" " Thank you, Zuzie." " Little bit of sugar?" " Yes, Zuzie." " Bit of milk?" " Yes, Zuzie." " All right then." " Dad, don't sleep!" "This is Wendy's duvet." "I know how those buttons go." "Coffee here..." "Georgie?" "Matthew!" "Georgie!" "Come on, dad, we have to find Wendy." " Are we really in the duvet?" " Of course." "And what's this?" "That's all that Wendy dreamt, her dreams." "She has loads!" "Who could imagine so many dreams." " What's this?" " Must do a runner!" "Baker-woman from our street!" "Come over here." " What was that?" " We had a smallish trip out." " What?" "She is also a dream?" " Sure, everything here is a dream." "It all looks so real." "Look, over there." "See it?" "Wendy dreams all this." "If she is dreaming, she is asleep." "If she's asleep, she's alive!" "Hurrah!" "Dad, don't sleep!" "Dad!" "Sleeping in a duvet is risky." "I know what we'll do." "Get up." "We have to find her and wake her." "Wendy, where are you?" "Roaming through this flat of mine, which I now use to pine, perhaps seeking some meaning, why I am so at a loss." "Where my near and dear are, where do they fade away, only God knows so far, if they come back to stay." "My wish is enormous, for all to return to the fold." "Waiting for a miracle this song helps me to be bold." "Matthew?" "Did you say it was dangerous to fall asleep in a duvet?" " Absolutely." " Just happened..." " To grand-dad!" "Grandpa, grandpa!" "Get up!" "He is asleep and has no idea we are all looking for him." " Grandpa!" "Get up!" " We'll try something." "Grand-dad, don't sleep!" "Your beer will lose its froth!" "I'm not sleeping." " Where am I?" " In a duvet." " That's why then." "I've never slept so sweetly." "No wonder, you've slept long enough." "Wendy met her dream, a nightmare, we must help her." "We can clean up nightmares." " The machine is broken." " How broken?" " Bust." " How bust?" "Something was inside the fortune-teller's feathers." "Fortune-teller!" "That's nasty." "We have to repair the machine." "We can't do it alone." "Fortunately one has mates." "Fred!" "Pete!" "They do this to me all the time." "Still, I'll charge those anyway." "Feathers, dust and pellets have popped the blinds." "Devil be darned for this damned grind." "As froth falls away time moves by choice." "Every change good in a way, sometimes I hear his voice." "He could swat a fly, a spitting-hit in flight." "When in the mood a dance-floor would see his might." "His old chair is now almost crumbling, going absent without leave, with him good cheer tumbling." "Deal the cards, pour another, so he doesn't wait were he to come back." "Deal the cards, our loss of each good fellow." "Hey, he picked our tab up." "Feathers, dust and pellets, aching joints, the one and same song bring me no points." "Beer is going flat, butter besides is rancid, nought but to wait, 'til fungi is more fancied." "Deal the cards and pour another, so he doesn't wait were he to come back." "Deal the cards, our loss of each good fellow." "Hey, he picked up our tab." " You also dreamt of Larry?" " How do you know?" "Me too." "For the first time since he disappeared, matey." "What about these beer-mats?" "I must be dreaming." "Not your dream, it was mine." "I must have dreamt it." " I dreamt Larry putting the mats up." " Spot on, hey?" " You too?" " You bet." "Hang on a sec." "This can't just be a coincidence." "What if it belongs to..." "To the cleaning machine!" "Deal the cards, pour another, so he doesn't wait were he to return." "Deal the cards, our loss of every good fellow." "Heck, he picked up our tab..." "And take this trash with you!" "What am I meant to do with it?" "Deal the cards, our loss of every good fellow." "Heck, he picked up our tab." "Maybe the old fogeys will manage it." "Her dream, again taking her away." "Him?" "I know him, pigeon-fancier." "But with different eyes." "It's him and, yet, it isn't." " Quickly, up there!" " Hang on, up there?" "Let's go, let's go." "A little bit high, isn't it?" "Clearly isn't." " Dad, real weapons, super." " Just be careful." "Dad, come on!" "Marlene!" " Marlene, where are you?" " What's going on?" " We had a dream." " And in the dream..." " Will you know where it fits?" "Get a move on." "Dad, come on, Can't deal with him ourselves." " Hey, wait, it's got a nut." " It doesn't belong in there." "Although, hang on, see..." " That's spot on." " No, with the wide end here." "They'll never put it together." "Ooh, good day, I mean evening." "Good night." "Ah, here you are!" "Why keep getting between my legs?" " It was fresh this morning!" " He's getting up!" "Wait a moment..." "I'm holding him." " How shall we disable him?" " What shall we do?" "I've got it." "I'm a tailor, right." "Just a mo." "Got him!" "I've got the knack." " Blimey, dad, you're giving what for." " Hold him tight." " Here's one!" " Almost done." "Carefully." "Look." "Easy-peasy." " Marlene, you can start it up." " With that catcher of Larry's..." " It has to work!" " Well, let's turn it on!" "Hurrah!" "I'll get Wendy's duvet." "I'm sewing!" "Hold him!" " I'm holding." " Quickly, we have to wake her." "If she wakes up her dreams fall asleep, this rogue's too." " Wendy, wake up." " I know how to rouse her." " Sis, your turn to tidy up!" " That's not true, nitwit." " Grand-dad!" " Wendy!" " Dad!" "Bro!" " Wendy, come over here." "Are you all right, dearest?" " Let's run, she's sleeping again!" " What?" "Sleeping?" "Out of here!" "Grand-dad, quickly!" " Go on ahead, I'll hold him up." " Hold him!" " Zuzie, they've repaired the machine." " That's nice." "Here is Wendy's duvet." "Where is everyone?" " Don't even ask, mum." " Come and help me with it." "We'll test it." "Quickly." "Snip it." " Can we start?" " Fine here." " Don't dither a second." " It's going." " There you go." "You repaired it!" " My boy!" "Wendy!" " Hi, mum!" "Dad is a hero." "There were high hills and overcame them without any vertigo." " Stop it." " You are my hero." " Now we must hope we find grand-dad." " Larry, and that will be it." "What about grand-dad?" "Shh, that's our secret." "Not a peep to anyone." "Grand-dad will work the bloke over and will be here in a flash." "Off we go." "Carefully up those stairs." "Do me a favour." "Good evening." "They sent me home from work." "Do you have any tablets?" "I imagine I am inside dreams, my Betty is sublime." "I know," "I know it." "I perceive that this day" "I am led to my girl, and know I may kiss her." "Birds fly low over the town, news spreads of the bride being mine," "with me can entwine." "With her you'll rise in the morn, and take to bed at sunset." "Now you know who loves you." "Loves you madly." "Love gives you a chance, when suddenly it may enhance you to meet a girl of sanity." "You should kiss her now." "With her you'll rise in the morn, and take to bed at sunset." "Now you know who loves you." "Loves you madly." "Love gives you a chance, when suddenly it may enhance you to meet a girl of sanity." "You should kiss her now." "You should kiss her now." "You should kiss her now." "You should kiss her now." "Yippee, great that you're here." "We rescued Wendy here with dad, who wasn't in the least afraid." "Everybody would do it." "I was just a dream to him, so we meet for the last time." "Why?" "You were ever so nice to us." "Because he's not dreaming about me but about another girl." "And for me once more just champagne and men." "I felt good being with you, I will miss you a lot." "Wait, we forgot to give you a name." " Must be the nicest." " Zuzie." " Zuzie!" " Like our mum!" "Zuzie?" "What a gorgeous name." "Thank you very much." "Excuse me, I feel peculiar." " Do you have by any chance..." " A tablet?" "Like Mr. Charles?" "Perhaps I'll open a chemist shop." "What's he doing here?" "He's dreaming about you." "Seriously?" "And she's gone." " I dreamt..." " I know, about me." "Hmm." "Betty, what's heavier to take?" "A life with a man, or without?" " Well..." " Well what?" "It weighs on my mind, boss." " Think about it." " I think, with a man, Georgie." " Zuzie." " With a man." "Where is he?" "Disappeared like a puff of smoke." " Don't shoot!" "I'll do it my way." " Wait!" "No!" "I'll untie him." "I'll help you." "You worm!" " Villain..." " I've done you no wrong, sir." "Is it you?" "Isn't it you?" "Fritzie, sonnie!" " Mum?" " Oh, right, I get it now." "I know, the fortune-teller's nightmare." "Come on, the nightmare is about you, come." "She used to shut me in the sty, when I was naughty." " I was frightened." " I know." "She even shut me there overnight." "I was petrified." "She won't dream about you anymore." "Go on, the nightmare is over for evermore." "I'll never do it again." "I knew I'd meet you here." "Larry, where you been all this time?" "Isn't that beautiful?" "It is." " My dear sonnie..." " Mum!" " Excuse me..." " Leave me alone." " Only my hubbie could do this!" " Perhaps I haven't forgotten." "Larry!" "Sweet Larry!" "Every tale ends well, when good is victorious." "When pure spirit gives evil hell, and binds in chains the odious." "Every story ends well when two folk kiss in all glory, love reigns supreme, all can tell, and isn't missing in our story." "Every tale ends well." "Every tale ends well." "Well ends our show, when grandpa finds his grandbaby, and dream-packed duvet aglow is no burden, nay light as can be." "Narration ends well, when torment is set aside" "and dad gets his honorary bell." "Can't express it any better." "The yarn ends well, about life in duvet," "Dream becomes Zuzie, can't you tell, all over when we turn our heads, all over when we turn our heads." "Every tale ends well." "Every tale ends well." "Every tale ends well." "Every tale ends well."
