Pete's Dragon Page #5

Pete, and his dragon.

His wagon!!

NO! " Dragon"

Dragon, wagon! That's no excuse

for being late. Get inside.

Good morning Miss Tailor.

Goodmorning.

Thank you for making my students late

and for disrupting my entire schedule.

You have a new student.

I have?

This is Pete.

Oh! him.

Well! if he's a transfer, I'll

have to have his records.

Unfortunately, his old school burnt down

and his records were destroyed.

Pete! Give her 9 x 9.

Then I'll have to have

his birth certificate

Tragically, flames from the

school house set fire at the

city hall and his birth

certificate went up with it.

Pete! give her a ton.

2000 pounds.

Do you want him to spell "Passamaquoddy"?

No, no no.

This is irregular irregular irregular.

But he needs an education, educatin.

Education.

Surely you can't

disagree with that.

I would if I could.

But I can't

Why is the bell ringing?

There's no one out there.

I'll stop it.

Elliott, stop it!

The bell isn't supposed

to ring till recess!

- Stop that!

- I'm not doing it.

Liar. Liar, liar.

It's the knuckle cracker

for you.

Three for lying and three...

for whom the bell tolls. Come.

Put your hands out.

Palms down, knuckles up.

One. Two.

- Three! Four!

- It doesn't hurt much, Elliott.

- Whom are you talking to? Five, six!

- Elliott!

- Whom?

- My dragon.

- - Your dragon, wagon.

Nothing but a network of lies!

Three more for your imagination!

Seven! Eight!

And a great big nine!

Go stand in the corner.

Work, work, work, everyone.

All this nonsense

about a dragon.

- No, Elliott! - You did it! You

pulled the chair out from under me.

- It was Elliott.

- That does it.

You've had a taste

of the knuckle cracker.

Now you'll have a dose

of the behind breaker.

Bend over.

No, no, Elliott.

Get out!

No, Elliott, you're going

about this the wrong way.

Go back to the cave. Go on!

Jehoshaphat!

Would you look at that!

- Why do I hear a bell ringing?

- School must be out.

It's too early, stupid.

See, I told you.

School is out.

- Wait! What's happening?

- Pete's dragon wrecked the school!

I told you.

I told you!

What's happened over there? Something

crashed right through the school.

Look at it, I'm telling you.

It's a big hole in the side of the wall.

And a dragon

came in through one wall...

and went out the other wall.

Now do you believe me?

- You think this kid Pete would sell it?

- Money talks.

First there's a dragon.

Now he tells me money talks.

Will miracles never cease?

Dragons, dragons, dragons.

Dragons.

Good morning, Miss Nora.

So, this is where you live, eh?

At last we've seen the light.

I tell you, you've got to have

a sense of humor these days.

- And you must be Pete.

- Yes, sir!

I'm Dr. Terminus,

and this is Hoagy,

who's doing

his internship with me.

I heard about the incident

at school yesterday.

- I'd rather not discuss it. - I realize

you must be disturbed about it, and, uh,

up to here in dragons.

You know, Pete, I have

always loved dragons.

They're such

wonderful creatures.

When they're not busy

destroying things, of course.

I've had a dream since

I was your age that one day...

I would have my very own dragon.

I would consider my life

to be fulfilled...

and would be most grateful

if you would sell me your dragon.

You wanna buy Elliott?

Sight unseen. As is.

We'll give him

a good home. Bless him.

I couldn't sell him.

Sure you could! That's what life

is all about:
Buying and selling.

- I'll give ya three dollars.

- Offer him four!

I'll offer him five.

It'll make his head swim.

Five... dollars.

I can't sell him.

I don't own him.

- Well, what did ya do, rent him?

- Well, who owns him?

Well, nobody, I guess.

He just came to me. He only

goes to those who need him.

I need him.

Listen Doc, I don't know what you're up to,

but you better forget about this.

- He's not for sale.

- Nora, go paint your lighthouse.

Pete, my boy,

you're conversant with Elliott.

Now, talk to him.

Tell him how much I need him.

Look, deliver Elliott to me

and the fiver is yours,

plus a bottle of my

medicine that's guaranteed

to bring on puberty two

years ahead of time,

and that's better than

a dragon, hmm?

- Doc, maybe you should talk

to Elliott yourself. - Mm-hmm.

Wh-Where is he?

Does he speak English?

Down the beach.

- Where?

- Right there, by the water.

- Right. I still don't see...

- That's because he's invisible today.

They know they're sitting

on a gold mine.

Well, they've had their chance

to make a few dollars.

That dragon doesn't belong to anybody.

He's fair game, and he's gonna be ours!

We'll bind him up, grind him up

Lock him up, chop him up

Can't you hear

that jingle-jangle sound

Oh yeah

It's money, money, money

by the pound

Ahh!

Uh! Ah-ah-ah!

Fog! Fog!

- Where's the fog?
