You are an ungrateful,

Spoilt, childish little boy!

How dare you lock

You're ours now, Richard!

We only want

You can fly out and can

"Molly Moon."

"Doorstep drop."

She's an orphan.

"How to hypnotize a crowd."

So that's how you do it.

Who are you?

Who am I?

Do you live under a rock?

Get out, or I'll call security.

Give me the book, darlin'.

You must be joking.

Horrible little man.

Just, you know...

It's all right.

Creep!

Give me the book.

Come on.

Give me the book.

Give it...

Do you mean this?

Aah!

Yeah, yeah.

I'm checking it out.

All clear.

Have you got the book yet,

Or are you just

twiddling your thumbs?

Having rather a difficult day actually,

Mother.

Now listen up to what

I'm gonna tell you.

I have it on very good authority

That Cregg and his boys

are gonna rob Shorings Bank

Tomorrow morning first thing,

So after they've done

all the heavy work,

You are gonna rob them,

And you are gonna use

some of all that, um,

Hypnotism stuff that you've

been blathering on about.

Haven't quite got the book

from the girl yet, mother.

You don't need the book.

You just need the girl.

She's already learned it.

You mean kidnap her?

Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah

Whoa oh, oh oh oh, oh

Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah

Whoa oh, oh oh oh, oh

She's no Davina.

He needs his head examined.

Now we are always one

See a whole new start

Stronger together

Now we are always one

See a whole new start

Stronger together

Now

Molly Moon.

I don't believe it.

Seriously? Got better kids

in the infant class.

Molly Moon, you are a star.

Welcome to showbiz.

Molly, Molly,

How does it feel

to be toast of the town?

I feel right at home.

Do you think

fame will change you?

Of course it won't.

Your family must be so proud.

Are they here tonight?

They...

Couldn't make it.

You've become a star overnight,

Everything a girl could ask for.

So tell me, if there was

one person in the whole world

You could share all this

with, who would it be?

All those people,

I fooled them.

I cheated, Petula.

I feel so bad about it.

They don't really love me,

Not like my real friends.

I miss Rocky, Petula.

Oh, there you are, Molly.

You need to get dressed

for the after-show party.

I'll take Petula.

Right.

Davina?

I know what you're up to,

And I know your secret.

You just hypnotize people

to get what you want.

Six years of ballet lessons,

Tap lessons, singing lessons,

And you just bat

your eyelashes and waltz in.

You're right, Davina.

This is yours.

I just wanted what you had.

You're the star.

I thought I could make

everything great,

But I didn't at all.

I don't want this anymore.

This is yours.

Thank you.

I was a bit of a monster.

We've both made mistakes,

Davina.

It's time I went home.

But aren't you an orphan?

Yes, I am.

Then you haven't got a family.

But that doesn't mean I don't

have people who love me,

And I miss them.

I'm giving all this up.

Molly!

Sweetie, what are you wearing?

There's a Charlie Cooper

interview in half an hour.

We've got the, uh,

after-show party.

There's this agent I really...

I'm leaving the show, Barry.

In fact, I'm leaving

show business.

Uh, Molly, Molly, Molly!

No, no, no, no.

Don't, uh...

Don't try comedy.

Just focus on singing

and dancing right now.

You said to be a star,

I must really want it.

Well, I realized I don't.

My friends are more important,

And I miss them,

So I quit.

You ungrateful little brat!

I'm sorry, Barry.

Ahem.

You're nobody, Moon!

You know that?

And to think I got rid

of a real star for you.

Why don't you

go and get her back?

She's over there

in the dressing room.

Ask Davina back?

She'll never agree.

Anyway, she's a monster.

She's pretty brilliant,

Much better than me,

And she deserves another chance.

Imagine the publicity.

Barry Rix masterminds the comeback

of Davina "Darling" Nuttel.

Brain wave.

Davina in a new show, massive extravaganza.

Do you feel it?

Music extravaganza,

Orchestras, dancing girls,

the whole lot.

It's fantastic. Yes.

Do you like it?

When can we start rehearsal?

Anytime you like.

I'm a genius!

You are.

Davina!

Darling, you look fabulous!

So much to discuss.

Petula.

Rocky!

Molly! I missed you!

I've missed you, too, Rocky.

This young man came to the

hotel looking for you.

I knew you were here,

so I brought him along.

Thank you.

We have to look after

our friends.

You understand that?

Now travel home safely.

The Alabasters could

never be my family.

They were horrible.

But what about you?

You're a star now.

Well, it's not for me.

I thought I could

make everything better.

What are you talking about?

I found this book.

This book taught you

how to hypnotize people?

Yes. It was fun at first,

Edna with the spaghetti

and Adderstone.

And then it sort of

started going wrong.

Come on. We best get

back to the orphanage.

I hypnotized the

director to pick me

And all the audience.

All of the audience?

But that's amazing, Molly!

You were on television

all over the world.

Miss Moon,

this letter has just arrived for you.

Thank you.

Petula!

She's been kidnapped!

I've got to go to the

meeting point alone!

I have to be there by dawn.

Let's call the police!

We can't tell the police.

They'll find out

what I've been doing.

You can't just go alone!

We need a plan, okay?

He doesn't know about me.

That's our advantage.

He said come alone.

When did we start doing

what grownups say?

Come on, then.

Now you listen.

Petula.

You. It's you!

Why are you wearing those...

I know what you learned

in that book,

And you won't do it to me.

I have a little job for you.

Do what you're told,

And you and the dog
