Anything Is Possible Page #5

Jasmine, we have a problem.

What is it?

Looks like they're going to

be shutting down the center.

They can't do that.

I'm afraid they can.

The owner of the building

is selling out to a company

that wants to build a parking

lot on that location.

Where are we going to go?

They'll probably send us

to different foster homes.

You don't have

to go anywhere.

What did you have

in mind, Becky?

BECKY:
Fundraising.

What?

Well, how do you think

we can stay here

without paying any money

and getting treated?

They raise money through the

Children's Miracle Network.

But we're not the

Children's Miracle Network.

The only thing that we have in

common is that we're all children.

How are we going

to raise $40,000

without a miracle

or a network?

Well, I can't do everything

for you, but...

What are you looking at?

Forty thousand dollars.

How many 10 year olds do you know that

can play the piano like you just did?

I don't know any.

Exactly, none.

Which means that you'd

be a great attraction.

Yeah, like the panda

exhibit at the Detroit Zoo.

And how many people

came to see that panda?

Thousands and thousands.

And why did thousands and

thousands come to see that panda?

Because pandas are very rare

in this part of the world.

You get it?

I'm a rare panda?

Bingo.

But you forgot one thing,

I would have to perform and

I've never done that before.

Kid, where have

you been for the past hour?

But this doesn't count.

Well, I think it

counts just fine.

Me too.

Me three.

Me four.

Okay, how many of you would

go to see Nathan in concert?

I guess that settles it.

Okay, time to go.

Bye, Becky.

Bye, Jess.

Bye, Becky.

Nice to meet you, Nathan.

Come on, guys.

(LAUGHING)

Do you mind

getting the door?

Nope, I don't mind.

Looking for someone?

At ease, Captain.

(CHUCKLING)

Good infiltration maneuver

there, little soldier.

We call it "sneaky"

in the civilian world.

I'm sure they would

like to see you.

Nah,

I just came by to see if you were okay.

I think they would like to see

that you are doing okay as well.

Look at me, little soldier.

Well, you could

use a shower,

but they don't really

care about that.

Come on, Captain,

go say hello.

I'd rather not.

You know someone

once told me

that it's not cool to run

away from those who love you.

They do?

It's time to face

the music, Captain.

(CHUCKLING)

EVELYN:

Captain Miles.

Where have you been?

Here and there.

Well, oh, well,

look who we have here.

If it isn't good

ol' Captain Miles.

I hope you're here

to stick around

because we could use all the help we

can get in keeping this place open.

What do you mean?

We were turned down

for next year's grant.

What about the kids?

We don't know.

They may end up living on the streets if

we don't think of something very soon.

(CLEARS THROAT) Well,

if you plan to stick around,

I suggest you shower first.

(CHILDREN GIGGLING)

And we'll fill you in.

Captain.

Yes, ma'am.

I contacted the mayor's

office but no answer yet.

Okay, well, try again,

this time ask for Mark Robinson.

Isn't that your

ex-boyfriend?

Well, desperate times

call for desperate measures.

He still suffers from fatal attraction.

Mmm.

(LAUGHING)

Well, Captain Miles!

Well, don't you clean up well.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

And thank you for the shower

and the new clothes.

Well, you're welcome.

We're just glad

you're back on your feet.

Let's save an orphanage.

Okay, first,

we need to get organized.

We have to figure out

who does what.

I can draw.

Okay, Jenny will be drawing.

How about you, Scooter?

I can spell.

Great! We are going

to need designers

for the posters

and the flyers.

Well, I can help with that.

In fact, we all can.

Right guys?

ALL:
Yeah!

Sit.

Smile.

There.

I think I like

this one the best.

Yep, that's the best one.

I like the picture there.

That's one nice pic.

Now what?

So, I see you guys have

been a little busy lately.

Would you mind explaining this?

It was her idea.

Jess?

Fundraising?

You know, that thing that you do

to raise money for needy people.

Don't patronize me,

young lady.

I know what

fundraising is.

I just got a call

from the theater

asking if I wanted to book

the concert that night.

You can't just assume that because

they have nothing scheduled

that I can just go ahead

and book something.

Why not?

Yeah, why not?

You said this was

an emergency.

We did say that.

Mm-hmm.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(STAMMERING)

But, we can't, I mean...

Nathan has

a very special talent

but I don't think

he's ever performed anywhere.

That's what I told them.

He played in the hospital and

he was awesome. Right, guys?

Yeah, amazing.

ALL:
Yeah.

Well, he was quite

sensational.

Well, well, we've got

a bigger problem,

that was the theater and they

have received over 300 requests

for tickets for this concert!

(ALL CHEERING)

Yeah.

Looks like we're going

to a concert.

Oh, no!

Whoa!

ALL:
Wow!

Dad, she's no longer here.

What?

This moon,

I don't feel her anymore.

(SIGHS) As long

as we don't let her go,

she's always

gonna be here.

But...

I want her here with us.

I know, buddy, me too.

We gotta keep

the faith though.

I'm running out of it.

No, you can't say that,

okay?

Not now.

Dad, are we ever gonna

see Mom again?

I knew it.

Is everything all right?

I, uh...

I don't think

he's up for it tonight.

Besides, all this,

I mean...

Have you heard him play?

Yes, he's a sensation.

May I have a word

with your son, Sergeant?

Go ahead.

You okay, little soldier?

No.

Anything I can do?

You can find my mom.

I wish I could.

There's nothing

you can do for me.

Lot of people out there

depending on you.

I don't care.

Your mother would be quite

disappointed to hear that.

Well, she's not gonna hear

because she's dead.

Never underestimate

the heart of a soldier.

Especially that

of your mother.

Quite some years ago,

I was badly wounded

when my Humvee

hit a roadside bomb.

I was the only survivor.

I laid there for hours,

unable to move.

Then something got ahold of

me and I began to crawl.

I crawled for four days.

No water, no food.

Allied forces found me,

brought me to base and here I am.

Never underestimate

the heart of a soldier.

She's got a lot to live for

and sometimes

that's the difference

between life and death.

(SIGHS)

Me. I didn't want to

face life at all.

But then,

I came across a little soldier

who told me it's time

to face the music.

That's very clever, Captain.

(CHUCKLES)

You've got an orphanage

to save.

Time to face the music.

JESSE:

Good evening, everybody.

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you so much for comi.

I have the honor of introducing

to you for the first time

a young man who

will rock your world.

Please give it up for

Nathan!

(APPLAUSE)

Hi, my name is Nathan Peters and,

um...

I'm very thankful for everyone who is

coming here to save the orphanage.

I have really gotten to know
