Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium Page #7

Synopsis: Molly Mahoney is the manager of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the awesome toy store owned by Mr. Edward Magorium. Molly was a promising composer and piano player when she was a girl, and now she is a twenty-three year-old insecure woman who feels stuck in her job. Among the costumers of the Emporium is the lonely hat collector, Eric Applebaum, who has only Molly and Mr. Magorium for friends. When the last pair of shoes that Mr. Magorium bought in Toscana is worn, he hires the accountant, Henry Weston to adjust the accounts of the Emporium. Furthermore, he claims that he is two hundred and forty-three years old and his time to go has come; he gives a block of wood called Congreve cube to Molly and asks Henry to transfer the Emporium to her name. Molly tries to convince Mr. Magorium to stay in his magical toy store instead of "going".

You did?

Yeah, it must've been

when I passed out.

What do you mean?

When I keeled over.

I didn't see that.

Yes, you did.

Last night.

Last night?

I went home.

No, no, before...

I passed out.

I think you must be confused.

No, no.

I passed out.

I remember.

It was after the cube flew.

- What cube?

- "What cube?"

Mahoney.

The Congreve Cube.

You made it fly all around the room.

I think you must

have dreamt all that.

I left you here to finalize

the real estate paperwork.

- Maybe you got sleepy.

- No, no, no, no.

I- I-I didn't.

Positively not.

I passed out

after you made that cube fly.

It doesn't matter.

- I'm selling the store.

- What?

Yeah, remember the offer?

We're signing the deal this morning.

No, no. Hey, hey.

You can't.

Why can't I?

Because this, it's...

it's magic!

You really think

this store is magic?

Yes. Yes, I do.

Isn't that just a little

difficult to believe?

No, no, I don't...

I don't think so.

No, not at all.

Now...

I believe that you can make it

be anything that you want.

It's you.

You...

are a block of wood.

I'm a block of wood?

Yeah, Mahoney. It's you.

And what you need to

believe in is not the cube,

and it's not the store,

and it's not me.

What you need to believe in is you.

Holy cow.

What is it?

A sparkle.

- Wow!

- Cool.

Whoa...

Whoa!

- I can't believe it.

- Incredible.

And that's how

Molly Mahoney's story began.

#You don't know

what you're becoming #

#Who knows what

you're gonna be #

#We don't know

where we're going #

#We don't know

'cause we can't see #

# If I could tell your future #

# I'd say love

the world you find #

# In the dark times

and the hard questions #

# Let some sunshine

in your mind #

# Sun is rising #

#And I think that's good #

#Just now realizing #

# Some things you never

thought you were #

What do you think, Milo?

Not bad.

Thank you.
