Pete's Dragon Page #3

- Quick, what's the name of this

town again? - Passamaquoddy.

- "Quassama" what?

- Passamaquoddy!

Got it. How wonderful to see

your smiling faces again.

All of you.

I-I've never known

such warmth,

such welcome,

such loving hospitality.

Get out, ya quack!

And don't bring those

phony remedies here again.

Go on back where

you belong:
Jail.

- - Thank you, thank

you, thank you, thank you.

I sense enthusiasm,

I sense loving response,

and that's why I feel

that this is my home...

away from home.

I've been bringing cures from

Pilgrim Heights to Provincetown

Treated rabid fever

down on Queen Anne Road

Gout or gastritis

Mumps or bronchitis

Bites and burns and blue abrasions

Got a pill for all occasions

Little Sipowissot

was so nice to visit

And Scraggy Neck

is lovely to recall

Why didn't you stay there?

But through all my trips

Good Lord! there is one place

One corner, one town on my lips

Why, it's....

Padamaquassy. Ah! Paquamassady

No, no! Passamahmassy

OH! I know

It's Passamashlutty

Noooo...

It's Passamaquoddy!

Of course! That's what I meant to say.

I took your drug for losing

weight and now I'm a blob

But now there's so much

more of you to love

I wiped out impetigo

on the banks of Buttermilk

Flu is under firm control

in Powder Hole

Terminus potions

tablets and lotions

Major news in modern science

Step up now and join my clients

Spent a day in Buzzard's Bay

They couldn't keep me there

Even turned away

from Kingdom Hall

They probably

threw you out

They probably threw...

My hair was Grey and thanks

to you it turned into pink

But that color.

It's so becoming.

- Aah! - We're gonna wash your

phony tonics right down the sink

Wait. Listen.

My specialties are

audiology, mycology,

serology, teratology,

embryology, psychology, zoology...

and any other "ology"

you can think of!

My friends, you're not

giving me a chance!

I brought all these

medicines back from Paris.

- France.

- Ohh!

Oh Doctor! Oh Doctor!

Doctor, doctor, help me

I hear someone.

I hear someone calling me.

Someone in need.

A human being crying out to

another great human being.

For a service only

I can provide.

Madam! Doctor Terminus is here to cure you.

What's your problem lady?

How can I turn my back

to such a dear woman!

It's like humanity in me.

I hear... Ohh! Birds chirping

I hear children giggling.

I hear coins jingling.

That'll be exactly one dollar madam.

50 cents an ear.

Oh! Bless you doctor!

I can hear. I can hear.

My medicine cured her folks.

Did you hear her bless me?

Well, I bless her too.

How wonderful I feel

right here in my heeart.

Shamed be he who thinks evil of it.

And that's what the medical business is

all about, folks: People helping people.

You should all have help.

Gadzooks!

What have we here?

Oh, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor.

All I'm askin' for is a miracle.

All he wants

is a miracle, folks.

How can I deny him? If he's willing

to pay for it, he's gonna get it.

- Any price.

- One dollar, sir.

- I trust him.

- I believe in the Doc.

I'd put my life in his hands.

My friends you've seen a miracle

and you'll see many more

People will come pourin' in

from land and sea

We'll have centers for testing

Let's start investing

- Keep those dimes and dollars

mounting - I'll collect

by the day

"Quoddy."

Passamaquoddy

I know.

Pete, if you bring up the oil can,

we'll be ready for the night.

Sure. Before that, I'd like

to show Elliott my new suit.

No! No, no.

You can't bring Elliott up here.

Government regulation 302

states that...

no dragons shall be allowed...

on the premises of

the United States' lighthouses.

Now, go on down and get the oil so I can

mark it up in the log that you did that.

Okay. Nora, first can I bring

Paul's picture down to Elliott?

Then he can start

looking for Paul.

All right.

- Thanks, Dad.

- For what?

- For making believe about the dragon

and going along with it. - Making...

It means a lot to Pete.

Sort of a family he made up.

I'm not making believe.

I actually saw it.

And I haven't been

the same since!

Go to the cave; You'd see

it too, and your eyes would...

pop right out!

I was there.

I saw nothing!

Dad, be realistic.

Oh, you wanna be realistic. Let's

talk about how realistic you are.

Here you are, waiting for someone to come

back that just ain't gonna come back, Nora.

And if waitin' for over

a year hasn't told ya nothin',

then you're not the one to talk

about being realistic, are you?

Honey, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

I'm going down

to the hardware store.

I'll be your candle on the water

My love for you will always burn

I know you're lost and drifting

But the clouds are lifting

Don't give up, you

have somewhere to turn

I'll be your candle on the water

'Till ev'ry wave is warm and bright

My soul is there beside you

Let this candle guide you

Soon you'll see a

golden stream of light

A cold and friendless

tide has found you

Don't let the stormy

darkness pull you down

I'll paint a ray of hope around you

Circling in the air

Lighted by a prayer

I'll be your candle on the water

This flame inside of me will grow

Keep holding on, you'll make it

Here's my hand so take it

Look for me reaching out to show

As sure as rivers flow

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go...

Hi, Elliott!

How do you like my new suit?

Wow!

And new shoes too.

Look at the way they shine!

Nora's so nice to me,

I want us to do something for her.

I want you to concentrate

on finding Paul for Nora.

This is what he looks like.

Remember his face.

Try real hard.

Hmm.

Better go now.

Aww.

See ya tomorrow.

I've had nothing,

nothing but bad luck in this burg.

Hey! Ooh...

- I'm sorry, Doc.

- You see what I mean, hmm?

Doc, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it, Hoagy.

- Can I buy everybody a round?

- Yeah.

Huh? Well... Hey, 'cause,

Doc, I gotta talk to you. Okay?

- Sit down.

- May I? Thank you.

Hey, you're a ma... You're

a man of science, ain't you?

A man of science, yes.

Yes, I am.

With degrees from

the Royal Medical College, London.

- Huh?

- The Gleinen Einen Peitzen in Vienna.

- Oh!

- And the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

Oh. You know

anything about dragons?

Of course I do. I see them in all

the big cities going down the streets,

with that funny little walk, wearing

bright colors, fluttering around...

No, no, no. I'm talkin'

about a real dragon.

Real dragon. With fire...

fire coming out of his mouth.

And he's got real wings.

Uh, you need

a veterinarian. Hmm?

- Why do you ask?
