Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart Page #6

You made it too easy for me.

I was looking forward

to a tougher opponent.

You don't deserve her.

Earlier, in her dressing room,

she threw herself into my arms.

- I hate you!

- No, Jack!

No!

Stop that!

Come away.

He's out of control.

He's broken!

I want to change heart.

Transplant me.

I'm sick of it breaking down.

Madeleine was right.

With some camera parts,

I could try to repair you but...

No more repairs! I want

something solid and new.

I think your problem lies

deeper than your clock.

Give me a new heart

and rewind everything.

I never want to

fall in love again.

I understand, my friend.

You need time.

Nothing but time.

I'm out of time.

I gave my key to Miss Acacia.

You gave the key of your heart

to a spark?

Where is she now?

She left with Joe.

But that key is your life.

You were aware of the risk.

I know.

Hurry back to Madeleine!

She's your only hope.

When did you last

wind yourself up?

I don't remember.

Quickly!

No, it's better if you stay here.

I knew the risks, as you said.

I must face the

consequences.

Anyway,

you're making your

voyage to the moon.

The two-in-one formula

suits you perfectly.

Take courage, mon ami.

Courage isn't what I'm lacking.

You think Jack will be okay?

Do you think he'll go

back to Edinburgh?

He has his family there.

I don't know, but if he

does decide to go home,

he's in for a nasty surprise.

Why?

Just after Jack left,

Madeleine the sorceress

was sent to prison.

She wasn't very...

Sorry, my left front

wheel has shattered.

Wasn't very what?

Happy to be in a cell.

She didn't stay long.

She died a few days later.

They say she died

of grief over Jack.

Over Jack leaving, you mean?

If you like. He brings bad

luck wherever he goes.

What's wrong?

- Jack gave me his key

before we left. - Wait.

I have to go back.

Excuse me, do you

know where Jack is?

He's left for Edinburgh.

Just as I feared.

I have his key.

Don't worry,

Dr. Madeleine,

who saved him as a baby,

will find a way to piece

his heart together.

- She's dead!

- What?

Go after him! Save him!

That's all he asks.

He's headed to Valencia.

You can catch him

before the train leaves.

Hold on, wait a second.

Here's the journal

I've kept since I met Jack,

something to read

on the long journey ahead.

Thank you.

At his age,

besides rowing and magic tricks,

my life was empty.

But Jack...

His dreams were incarcerated

in the wooden cage of his heart.

Little Miss Acacia had

opened the floodgates.

I've never seen one person dream

of another with such intensity.

It wasn't a cuckoo-clock but an

electric volcano grafted onto him.

He could have shrunk, after so long

spent in the rain on our journey.

A real Don Quixote.

When he tilts at his dream,

he's intractable.

Unstoppable.

# I'll die alone,

but I don't know where #

# I'll die alone, but I don't

know where #

# Oh #

# Oh #

# Get some #

# Oh #

# Get some #

# Oh #

# Get some. #

Jack!

- My poor boy!

- Thanks.

You still look like a

shrimp with muscles!

I think Jack has gone

and caught a head cold.

Gently does it.

Hello, Arthur.

Rust has invaded his spine.

When he moves, it grates.

He's become scared of

the cold and rain since...

Where's Madeleine?

Jack, listen to me.

I must say words

that weigh so heavy

that I worry they

might stay stuck

in my throat.

The day you left.

We saw you onto the train.

Then Anna and I

climbed the hill.

The front door was wide open.

Nobody was home!

The workshop looked like

a hurricane had hit it.

Madeleine's remedies

were scattered.

Even the cat was gone.

With Arthur, we went

looking for her.

In the end, we found her

in St. Calford Prison.

- In prison?

- Yes.

The police arrested

her after we left.

It wasn't the first time

they'd jailed her.

We weren't really worried.

I want to see her.

I'd like to tell you

she is free now.

- Cooking with one hand.

- Fixing someone with the other.

And that, despite missing

you badly, she's fine.

But...

Madeleine has gone.

She left her body in prison.

Sadness will overwhelm you,

but remember you brought

her the joy of being a mother.

It was the dream of

a lifetime for her.

She saw you as a

fragile little thing,

to be protected at all cost,

joined to her by that cord

in the form of a clock.

She dreaded the day when

you'd become an adult.

I'm stopping here and I'd advise

you to do the same, miss.

It's haunted up there.

Jack!

It's me!

Jack.

It's not too late,

I can still save you.

You just have.

No, let me turn the key

in your heart.

You came back here for me.

You couldn't do anything more

extraordinary for my heart.

- Thank you.

- No.

Now, whatever happens to me,

the responsibility is all mine.

You can kiss me now.

# What about the weather,

I've got you #

# What about the weather,

I've got you #

# Under my skin #

# What about the weather,

I've got you #

# What about the weather,

I've got you #

# Under my skin #

# What about the weather,

I've got you #

# Under my skin. #

# Oh, my baby,

my little one #

# How romantic

it could be #

# To climb the sky #

# Walking on a stair of stars #

# That's shining blue... #

Wow.

# And build a hammock

of clouds #

# Between the south and the north

of the half-moon #

# And love you again and

again and again and again #

# I hang my head

like a snowflake man #

# In a burning sun #

# Because I'm my own ghost #

# I'm really dead this time #

# I'm dead like the corpses #

# In their six feet under graves #

# How romantic it could be #

# To climb the sky #

# In a hammock

made of clouds #

# A hammock

made of clouds #

# A hammock made of clouds #

# My little one #

# Yes, a hammock

made of clouds #

# My baby, my little one #

# My baby, my little one #

# A hammock #

# Made of clouds #

# My little one. #

# I never laughed so hard #

# As I did on that

cavalry charge #

# I don't bother with watches

or charts #

# I keep time with

my cuckoo clock heart #

# Knock me down

with a feather of fluff #

# But I'd shoulder the earth

soon enough #

# To find you again #

# In sharp stiletto heels

you can tell how she feels #

# From the spines

of her cactus heart #

# Love for her was the spring

that sprung in his clockwork heart #

# Fell apart #

# In sharp stiletto heels

you can tell how she feels #

# From the spines

of her cactus heart #

# Love for her was the spring that

sprung from his clockwork heart #

# Fell apart #

# Chasing dreams

all the lonely nights #

# Gold and silver

sparkles so bright #

# Even buried under the sea #

# Her precious lie

would still reach me #

# Treasure hunting

for so long #

# I don't know if she'll

ever belong to me #

# Miss Acacia #

# In sharp stiletto heels

you can tell how she feels #

# From the spines

of her cactus heart #

# Love for her was the spring

that sprung in his clockwork heart #

# Fell apart #

# In sharp stiletto heels

you can tell how she feels #
