The Making of 'The Pagemaster' Page #4

---

- Look! Mother Goose!

- FANTASY:
Hey, girl!

And leave all our doubts

and fears behind...

Hello, my little baby. Hi!

You see, that's just what can happen

If you look inside your mind

There's no limit to the wonders

You can find

Whatever you imagine

Can make your life brand-new

There are miracles waiting

So keep concentrating

And I promise you that if you do

(SPLATTER)

Whatever you imagine can come true

Wait for me!

Hey! Come here! Those are my glasses!

Hey! Don't go up there!

What's the matter?

Is Adventure afraid to go in?

What? I live for moments like this.

(SIGHS)

(GASPS)

Look! There it is! The exit!

(GRUMBLING)

(GASPS)

Me sword! Uhh!

(HUMMING)

(GRUNTING)

(RUMBLING)

(SCREAMING)

Earthquake!

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(YELLING)

(ROARING)

Quick! Find page 1,001.

Arabian Nights?

That's it!

Ohh!

Get the boy!

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

Come on! The exit's up there!

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

We're gonna make it!

- Hooray! We're gonna make...

- Aah! My wand!

Oh, baby. I wish that hadn't happened.

(YELLING)

(CRASH)

(GRUNTING)

Come on, guys! The exit!

(ALL GROANING)

This way, guys!

(GASPS)

Aah!

We're almost there!

We made it!

Guys?

This dragon is history!

Don't try to stop me!

Be careful.

Huh? Hm.

(GIGGLES)

You really are a classic.

(GASPS)

(CHUCKLES)

Mmm!

(SIGHS)

How would you like

to curl up with a good book?

(SMACK)

(GRUNTING)

Oh, me binding!

In your dreams!

Ooh!

Adventure, up here!

Go on, lad! Save yourself!

You think a bag of hot air

is enough to stop me?

Dragon? He's more like a dragonfly, he is!

Look out!

(GASPING)

(GROWLING)

(HUMMING)

Uhh.

Happy birthday.

(SIGHS)

(GROWLS)

Hang on, guys! I'm coming!

A sword.

Yes!

Ha ha! That's it, boy! Go for the gizzard!

- Bite him, bite him!

- (BARKS)

Aah!

Yah!

- Watch out for his tail!

- ADVENTURE:
You've got him on the run!

Aah!

(GRUNTING)

I'm not scared of you!

Aah!

Huh?

(COUGHING)

Aah!

(COUGHS)

I gotta get out of here.

(GRUNTING)

Aah!

Fantasy's wand!

This is not good. Definitely not good at all.

Uh-oh.

(GHOSTLY VOICE) Look to the books.

Look to the books.

Look to the books.

Look to the books!

Alice in Wonderland.

Off with his head!

Sheesh!

Mnh-mnh.

Jack and the Beanstalk.

Yeah! This is it!

(GASPING)

I hate heights!

Aah!

Matey!

He's alive!

Aah!

Come on, guys!

Uhh!

(LAUGHING)

(GRUNTING)

Whew.

Are you all right?

Wh... wha...

Master, you saved us!

That ya did, matey.

(GASPS)

Baby, you're the greatest.

Mm-wah!

Who's there?

The Pagemaster.

Hey! How'd you get here?

Quit it! We're in the presence

of the Pagemaster.

I know who he is!

He's the guy who did all this to me!

Do you have any idea

what I've been through?

Tell me.

I was nearly torn apart by a crazy doctor.

I was made a slave

by a bunch of mangy pirates,

and eaten, got that, eaten

by a fire-breathing dragon!

He don't mean it, my Pagemaster.

He don't mean it.

Not to mention being tossed, squashed

and scared practically to death.

Yet you stand before me.

Well... yeah.

Think, boy! What kind of an adventure

would you have had

if I'd brought you here

with the turn of a page?

(CACKLING)

(ALL GASP)

(LAUGHING)

You prevailed over evil.

Ah, you looked Moby Dick in the eye, boy.

Ah, you had pirates tough, me lad,

and don't no one speak any different.

If I had brought you here from the start,

you never would have found the courage

to face your own fears.

(ROARS)

And in doing so,

you triumph here and always.

Hey, is that... That's me!

That was you.

I'm ready to go home now.

(SIGHS)

I mean, we're ready.

The world awaits.

Whoa!

Godspeed to you, boy!

Wait for me!

(YELLING)

Aah!

You took quite a spill, young man.

Huh?

Are you all right?

Careful! You'll slip again!

Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Wait! Uh, I forgot something.

Here.

I'm afraid you can only check out two.

Horror? But I promised him.

You promised whom?

- Look, I need... Just this once?

- Shh.

I have a talent

for guessing what people need.

Just this once.

Shh.

Yes!

Good. That was definitely good.

CLAIRE:
I can't imagine where he could be.

Maybe we should call the police.

(GASPS) Alan!

He's home.

Alan.

It's impossible.

(OWL HOOTING)

Rich?

We probably should put him in his bed.

Let's let him sleep up here tonight.

Love you, Richie.

Good night, son.

HORROR:
It's dark out here.

I wish there was a night-light.

FANTASY:
Honey, wish granted.

(GASPS) Ooh.

(LAUGHING)

- Hooray! Hooray!

- (BREATHES DEEPLY)

Breathe it in, mateys.

This be the land of adventure.

You can lay to that.

(CRYING)

Come here, handsome. Why you cryin'?

Because I have friends. (SNIFFLES)

(CHUCKLES)

That you do, matey.

Aye, that you do.

Ahem.

You know what would

make this a happy ending?

A kiss.

OK.

(SMACKS KISS)

I meant from her!

(LAUGHING)

When this world

The real-life world

You're livin' in

Just gets too much

For you to take

When you find

Too many troubles on your mind

And feel just like

There's no escape

BOTH:
And it seems your heart's forgotten

How to believe

Turn a page in your soul

Mmm, there's a place you can go

Close your eyes and let your heart

Fly free

Dream away, dream away

Let imagination light your way

Take you as far

As your heart can see

Dream

Dream away, dream away

To a place where hope is shining

Find your silver lining

Everything you need

Everything is...

Just a dream away

Ooh

Remember when

A dream could take you anywhere

Anywhere you want to

Just a wish

Anything could be

When the farthest star was

one more star you could reach

Take a look in your heart

'Cause that's where dreams always start

Anything is real

If you just believe

Believe, believe

Ohh, ohh, ohh

Dream away, dream away

Let imagination light your way

Take you as far

As your heart can see

Dream

Dream away, dream away

To a place where hope is shining

Find your silver lining

Everything you need

Everything is...

Just a dream away

All it takes is faith

to make your dreams come true

Oh, oh

And somewhere in this world

There'll be somebody

To share your dreams

With you

Hey

Yeah, oh, yeah

Ohh

Oh, yeah, oh

Dream away, dream away

Let imagination light your way

Take you as far

As your heart can see

Dream

Dream away, dream away

To a place where hope is shining

Find your silver lining

Everything you need

Is just a dream

Just a dream

Away

Yeah

(VOCALIZING)

(WHATEVER YOU IMAGINE PLAYING)

Whatever you imagine

Can one day come to be

There are dreams to awaken

Roads to be taken

Follow them and they will set you free

Whatever you imagine

Is where your heart can go

There are worlds filled with treasure

Time without measure

To learn whatever

You may need to know

Imagine

CHOIR:
Imagine

You and I

Could fly past the sun

And leave all our doubts and fears

Behind us

You see, that's just what can happen

If you look inside your mind

There's no limit to the wonders

You can find

Whatever you imagine
