Everything is wet in here,

that's what's the matter!

- Don't worry, Lampie. Elliott came.

- Elliott?

That's all I need is

a dragon in here. Ah!

Get him outta here!

Start your burner, Elliott.

Light the wick.

All right, Elliott. Go ahead. Light it.

Now, Elliott! Now!

All right.

Where's the fire?

What's the matter?

He's all squished up in the stairs.

El-Elliott?

He's real.

He's really real.

- Of course he is. He's gonna

light the wick. - Can he do it?

Can he? He can throw a flame

clear across to Bar Harbor...

if he can get

his own burner goin'!

- Come on, Elliott! -

- Go on!

- Come on, Elliott!

Blow, Elliott!

- Wow!

- Elliott, you did it!

Look there!

That means the harbor

is dead ahead, Captain!

Hard right rudder!

Elliott, I could give you

a great big kiss.

A dragon, a dragon

You bet we saw a dragon

So big and brave, he came to

save a village in distress

He kept the ship from crashing

when he heard the S.O.S.

He faced a group of villains

and he fought them with success

He's great

He's great

- A chum - A

pal - A mate

A dragon, a dragon

We're proud to love a dragon

Before he came to fight the storm

the night was dark and dim

Now everyone in town is

safe again because of him

He filled the ocean full of fish

He packed it to the brim

We want it known

that he's our very own

Nora! Nora!

Paul!

What happened?

We sank in a storm off Cape Patterson

I was the only survivor

When I woke up in the hospital, I had...

I had lost my memory

Then the other day a...

a strange thing happened

My bed suddenly tipped over

I dunno how but..

I knocked my head and

everything came back to me

It's a miracle!

It's Elliott

Gather around, everyone. I'm gonna have

a few appropriate words to say.

Gather around. Come on.

Closer, closer.

There you are, yes.

It's nice to see you.

Ladies...

Ladies and gentlemen,

Pete, I want you to thank

Elliott the dragon...

for the council here

and all the townspeople.

- You do that?

- Well, he's right here.

He'd appreciate it

if you'd thank him yourself.

You mean I can talk right to him?

Go right to the main source.

That was my campaign...

- No, he's over here.

- Oh! Oh, over that side.

So, uh, Elliott, on behalf of...

Thank you.

It's a brazzle dazzle day

- So throw off the past and everything

in it -

That's the brazzle

dazzle way

Enjoying your time

from minute to minute

Hi!

Oh, Elliott,

you're the greatest.

You've made everybody happy,

especially me.

I'm very proud of you.

We've got a real family now

and a place to live.

You've gotta go?

When will you be back?

You... You won't be back?

But why?

Did I do something wrong?

There's another kid in trouble?

Well, if anyone can get him

out of it, you can.

Ohh...

I won't see you again, will I?

Ever.

What are you sniffing for?

Now, remember,

don't scare people.

Good-bye, Elliott.

Good-bye.

- It is a dragon!

- It's Elliott!

And remember,

you're supposed to be invisible!
