Pete's Dragon Page #2

out on the street. - What was it?

- I don't want to tell you for fear

it'll scare you to death! - Scare me.

A dragon, a dragon

I swear I saw a dragon

His tail lashing, he'll be

smashing every shop in town

With scaly feet he'll crack the

street and tear the steeple down

It's not some loony dream I heard

a scream from Sheriff Brown

It's true, it's true

Oh, what are we to do

- It's true, it's true

- Old Lampie's in a stew

A dragon, a dragon

I swear there was a dragon

You're off your hinges

All those binges put you in a haze

You crazy fools It's all your

doggone fault he's in a daze

Let go of me, let go of me

and mend your wicked ways

Aah!

What makes you think there

ever was, there never was

There never, never, ever was

a dragon, dragon, dragon

Dragon, dragon

dragon, dragon, dragon

- Why don't you just calm down?

- I seen his face.

If you wanna call it a face.

It was this close to me.

Why don't you

lie down, Dad? Come on.

You know what else?

It started to smile at me.

- Well, did you smile back? - I didn't have

time to smile. I was too busy running.

And you know...

And you know what else?

There was this boy with it.

And he wasn't afraid.

- This boy...

- Lie down.

We're in a lot of trouble,

and it's all your fault.

I don't wanna play.

You did everything wrong

is Passamaquoddy.

Now everybody hates us.

I don't know whether

you're good for me...

or bad.

I'm sorry, Elliott.

I didn't really mean that.

It's just

I don't know what to do,

and I'm scared.

Hello in there!

Get back!

Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Oh, just playing tic-tac-toe.

This isn't exactly

the best place for tic-tac-toe.

The tide's coming in. High water

reaches this cave sometimes.

You better head for home.

You're not from

Passamaquoddy, are you?

Nope.

Just sort of... traveling.

Where are your parents?

Where are you staying?

- What's your name?

- Pete.

I'm Nora, and I have to get back

on watch, up in the lighthouse.

There's chowder on the stove,

if you'd like some.

Wh-What's the matter?

It's a hand, not a shark.

You can finish that chowder...

if you'd like.

Oh, I forgot something.

Be right back.

I forgive you, Elliott.

Stay here till I see what

it's like up in the lighthouse.

Woo-woo-woo-woo!

The Gogans own me, I guess.

They said it was against the law

for me to ever leave them.

Where did you get that bruise?

Mr. Gogan. I was milking the cow,

and I missed the bucket.

- Had he done that before?

- All the time.

The first time I ran away,

the orphan home sent me back.

This time,

I'll just keep running.

Well, you'll be safe here.

Nora, no one's ever been this nice

to me. I'll always remember it.

Pete, why don't you

sleep here tonight?

We'll figure out

what to do tomorrow.

Okay?

Wonderful.

I've got work to do. Come on.

Are you anybody's mother?

I'm not even anybody's wife.

But you're gonna get

married now, aren't you?

I'm already married

to this lighthouse.

- Who's that?

- Paul.

- Is he part of your family?

- He almost was.

- How can someone almost be part of a

family? - We were going to be married.

How come you weren't?

Well, as far as we know,

his ship was headed for a storm.

They were never heard from

again. That was a year ago.

He'll come back.

I tell myself

the same thing every day,

standing up there

watching for ships on the horizon.

Time I should be thinking

of other things, so they tell me.

I'll have to ask

Elliott about Paul.

He has a way of knowing things.

Who's Elliott?

- My dragon.

- Dragon?

So you're

the boy with the dragon.

- Yup.

- Where is he?

- Down in the cave.

- That's interesting.

I've never known anyone with

a dragon. What does he look like?

Just a plain, ordinary dragon.

How plain?

How ordinary?

He has the head of a camel

The neck

of a crocodile

It sounds rather strange.

He's both

a fish and a mammal

And I hope

he'll never change

'Cause it's not easy

to find someone who cares

It's not easy

to find magic in pairs

I'm glad I found him

I love him

I won't let him

get away

'Cause it's not easy

You say

the head of a camel

- The neck of a crocodile

- And the ears of a cow!

It's clear that friends

can be different

Yes, I understand you now

It's not easy

to find someone who cares

It's not easy

to find magic in pairs

Now that you have him

Hold him

Treasure him

from day to day

It's so easy

Life is lollipops

and raindrops

With the one

you love

Someone you can

always be with

Argue and agree with

Climb the highest tree with

It's not easy

To share somebody's dream

It gets easy

when you work as a team

You've got to tend it

Fan it

That's what

I plan to do

Oh, I had one friend

by my side

Now I have two

Him and you

Him and me

And it's so easy

- Good morning, sir.

- Good morning, son.

- Nice to see you again.

- Ah. Thank you.

Aah!

- It's you!

- What's the matter?

It's you.

The boy with the dragon.

Yes, sir.

Dad! Dad, what is it?

- The boy with the dragon.

- I know. Now, just take it easy.

You saw it.

You saw it?

I didn't actually see it,

but I know what it looks like.

- But wha...

- We'll talk about it later.

It isn't in the lighthouse, is it?

- No, Elliott's down in the cave.

- Oh, Ellio...

Elliott? It... It even has a name.

There's nothing

to get upset about.

You're right. Right, there's

nothing to get upset about.

Nothing. No, why should I

get upset? I should be happy.

I... I should be happy! I'll go down

to the saloon and I'll tell the boys.

I'll say, "Boys, here it is." Then

hear the apologies.

Elliott'll be happy

to do it for you, sir.

Good boy. Good lad.

Just you and me and Elliott.

We'll go into the saloon.

Oh. Elliott...

He won't... won't start

to scratch or...

or fight, or set anything

on fire, will he?

- Well, he's sort of...

- Sort of what?

- Unpredictable.

- Don't do anything with Elliott.

Wh-Why don't you

leave him where he is?

- It's too dangerous to take him into town.

- It's dangerous.

I don't want either one of you

to say a word about Elliott...

- to anyone, do you understand,

- No. No. Yes!

Until we've talked this over.

Let's all have breakfast. The lamp

has to be polished, the lens cleaned,

and I want to take Pete

to buy new clothes.

Yes, well, clean Elliott

and eat the lamp.

I mean, we'll...

clea-clean the lamp.

Elliott! The name's

Elliott. Did you hear that?

Doc Terminus is comin'!

Are they still after us?

We lost 'em.

Good.

- Passamaquoddy ahead, ahoy!

- What?

Pass-a-ma-quoddy ahead, ahoy!

- Oh, no.

- Oh, yes.

- Slow down!

- My fence!

WET! WET!

It's still wet

Throw out the anchor!

Since we all concur, gentlemen,

I suggest that we adjourn.

When did I start losing control of my town!

You dummy! You told me to drop the

anchor, I dropped the anchor.

- Watch Bones.

- Get him off of me! Get him off!

I think they remember us.

Uh-oh. I think

I remember them.

- Just act normal.

- I am acting normal. I'm ready to run.
