Excuse me, bub.

I heard about your little problem.

Just what is it you're looking for?

Well, it's a really big egg and...

About this big?

-CODY:
Yeah, where is it?

-I think I saw something like that.

Let me see.

Yup, there it is.

Where?

Clear over that way. By the balloons.

-Oh, great. Thanks.

-CHILDREN:
Thank you, bye.

Bye-bye.

-Let's go, let's go.

-Hurry.

Oh, we might be able to catch it.

CODY:
Come on.

BARNEY:
Look.

MARCELLA:
They're balloons.

BARNEY:
Balloons.

(BARNEY AND CHILDREN YELLING)

Help, please.

-Hey, come back.

-Look, there's the egg.

BARNEY:
That's ring number four.

Only one more to go.

-CHILDREN:
Come back!

-Please.

Oh, you can't take our egg.

Come back. No.

Now we are never gonna get it back in time.

Yes, we will.

It's gonna take some imagination.

Right, Barney?

(STUTTERS)

-Right, yes.

-What'd you say?

Come on.

Cody, did you really say imagination?

Yeah, it's been kind of an unusual day, okay?

Now, I think you should all climb abroad.

Okay, all aboard the log.

-Okay.

-Okay.

We're gonna pretend that this is the fastest,

coolest airplane in the whole world.

You think a log can fly?

We gotta try.

Okay, I will.

Here goes.

Prepared for take-off, Captain.

Make believe, make believe.

Flying with the wind in our hair.

Come on.

Flying should be easy.

It's kid stuff.

-Come on.

-Faster.

We can do this. We can.

I think we need your help.

I'd like you to pretend that we can really fly.

Let's all do it together. Ready?

One, two, three, now.

It's working!

Thank you.

Yes. I don't know how to fly.

-Oh, no.

-Watch out!

-BARNEY:
Whoa! Look out!

-(CHILDREN SCREAMING)

BARNEY:
Whoa, nice balloons.

ANGRY BALLOON PILOT: Hey!

Where you going?

BARNEY:
Excuse us,

flying through. Excuse me.

-Take us to the balloon!

-It's hard.

BARNEY:
Hi, there. How you doing?

(GIGGLING) Sorry!

Whoa, nice flying, Cody.

I could have done that with my eyes closed.

In fact, I did.

Hey, mister. Mister!

ABBY:
Mister, over here.

ALL:
Mister, look over here.

MARCELLA:
Mister, over here.

-That's a splendid ship you're flying.

-Thank you.

But you have our egg.

Egg? What egg? Where?

Hanging off your balloon.

Ah, that's my new ballast I just picked up.

Gotta keep the old ship steady, you know.

Yeah, but somehow

our egg got mixed up with your ballast.

What's ballast?

See, I traveled

all over the world, collecting things.

This is the most

beautiful egg I have ever seen.

But if it's yours, you better have it back.

-(CHILDREN CHEERING)

-Position your craft under mine.

All right.

Good luck!

GIRLS:
Oh, no, he let it go too soon.

BARNEY:
Oh! Come on, Cody, get under it.

-Faster, Cody, faster.

-Hurry!

I'm gonna break the sound barrier.

BARNEY AND GIRLS: Faster!

(CODY SCREAMS)

BARNEY:
We're almost there. Keep going.

Come on!

Gotta catch it.

-Got it! Yeah!

-That's it!

(ALL CHEERING)

Cody, the plane.

(ALL SCREAMING)

George, what is that?

It won't pull up.

(ALL SCREAMING)

My stars, what happened?

-Are you all right?

-You kids okay?

We're fine.

We just had sort of a bumpy landing.

Cody forgot to put landing wheels

on his make-believe airplane.

Hmm, wheels. Wheels would be good.

What kind of game were

you kids playing out here?

We weren't exactly playing, Grandpa.

And we weren't even here most of the time.

See, we took that big old egg

over to Ms. Goldfinch.

The bird-lady.

And her book said that it was a dream-maker

and that we needed

to bring it back to the farm.

Only it took a ride

on the truck and then Barney...

The dinosaur.

He helped us chase it

but it rolled under a parade.

So, we went to a French restaurant.

But at the circus,

the egg got tied to a balloon.

Not a little balloon.

CHILDREN:
A big one.

So, we made this log into an airplane...

Slow down, children, children.

Cody, I think you better start at the beginning.

-The very beginning?

-Yes.

The very beginning.

Okay, Grandma and Grandpa,

I'd like you to meet a friend of ours.

Barney the dinosaur.

GRANDPA:
Hey!

Hey!

Yes, I know.

A lot of hay.

(ALL GIGGLING)

-Hi, Barney.

-BARNEY:
Hi, guys.

What is it? Where did it come from?

Look out below. Yahoo!

Cool.

Hi, guys, was that cool or what?

Whoa!

Hi, BJ.

All right.

-Did you see me, guys, huh?

-GRANDPA:
Hold it!

Let's start over again.

This is all about an egg?

That's right.

Hey, where is it?

It's right here.

Got away from us for a while,

but we finally found it.

Oh, my!

What's it doing?

BARNEY:
The very last ring is lighting up.

It's time for the dream-maker to hatch.

Quick, Cody, you gotta put the egg back

exactly where you found it.

BARNEY:
Hurry! Come on!

The egg was right here in the...

BARNEY AND GIRLS: Cody!

No!

Oh, look, I found my blankie.

Yes.

Pretty cool.

ALL:
Baby Bop, all right!

Did I do something good?

ALL:
Yeah.

Yeah.

Whoa!

BABY BOP:
It's wiggling.

(ALL EXCLAIM IN ASTONISHMENT)

ALL:
Wow!

BARNEY:
It's cracking.

Looks like a rainbow.

It's everywhere.

It's hatching.

MARCELLA:
Come on!

Oh, he's so cool.

(EXCITED CHATTING)

Oh, it's wonderful.

It's a baby what?

Pretty super!

-Put him on my blankie.

-BARNEY:
Okay.

There.

-Here you go, little fellow.

-Hello.

(BOTH MURMURING EXCITEDLY)

(GRUNTS)

(GIGGLING)

Hi there.

Hi, what's your name?

-(MUMBLING GRUNTS)

-It's trying to tell us its name.

-Oh.

-Oh.

Sounds like twinkle-twinkle.

Twinken.

What did you say, Twinkin?

No, Twinken.

Twinken, is that your name? Twinken.

Twinken. Twinken, the dream-maker.

Huh? Okay.

GRANDPA:
Oh! He's cute.

Doesn't seem to do

a whole lot, though, does he?

He's a lot like you that way, George.

(COOS)

Hey, what are you doing?

(COOS)

(LAUGHS)

Look, it's... It's me.

BARNEY:
Oh, Abby.

Is this your dream?

Yes.

And I'm seeing it.

GRANDPA:
We all are.

And I have never seen it so clearly.

(LAUGHS)

So, that's the dream-maker's gift.

To let you see your own dreams more clearly.

But why?

Well, because

the dreams you see most clearly

are most likely to come true.

Wow.

Well, you are just full of surprises, aren't you?

-BABY BOP:
Lookie!

-(COOS)

Barney.

Yes, Cody.

I'd just like to say that...

I was a big doofus before.

And I think you are pretty cool.

Thank you, Cody.

I think you are pretty cool too.

Hey, Barney, now can we see your dream?

Hey, where's Twinken?

We wanna see Barney's dream.

He's gone?

-Where is he?

-I don't know.

-Twinken.

-Twinken.

Here, Twinken.

He ran away!

Oh, no.

GRANDMA:
Where is he going?

ALL:
There he is.

CODY:
Look at that.

What's Twinken trying to say, Barney?

He's telling us, he knows what my dream is.

It's a special time, a special place

and sharing it all with the people I love.

BABY BOP:
Look!

BARNEY:
Wow.

CODY:
Did you see that?

(LAUGHS)

BJ:
Oh, Barney, catch him.

He's furry.

I got you, little fellow.

Oh, look.

(SINGING) I love you, you love me

We're a happy family

With a great big hug

and a kiss from me to you

Won't you say you love me, too?

Oh, he's so cute.
