HUMILITY.

THIS SHOULD:

DO THE JOB NICELY.

I TOLD YOU,

I TOLD YOU--

THERE ARE SO MANY

THINGS TO TAKE AWAY

AND THINGS:

TO BRING BACK.

SO MANY HOLES TO DIG.

SO MANY DOODLES:

TO DOODLE.

SO MANY:

USELESS THINGS YET TO DO.

UH-OH.

RUN, EVERYBODY! RUN!

[BARKING]

TOCK, TOCK,

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

PLEASE SAY:

SOMETHING, TOCK.

PLEASE TICK OR SOMETHING.

HE'S NOT TICKING.

OH, HUMBUG.

HIS MAINSPRING'S

BROKEN.

HE'S STOPPED TICKING.

YOU'LL HAVE TO

WATCH HIM NOW.

I'VE GOT TO GE RHYME AND REASON.

HURRY, MILO, HURRY.

WELCOME, MILO,

TO THE CASTLE:

IN THE AIR.

BUT HOW DO YOU:

KNOW WHO I AM?

ARE YOU:

THE PRINCESSES?

YES, MY DEAR.

THIS IS MY SISTER,

THE PRINCESS:

OF SWEET RHYME,

AND I AM CALLED:

THE PRINCESS:

OF PURE REASON.

AND AS FOR KNOWING

WHO YOU ARE,

WHY, WE SEN FOR YOU.

SENT FOR ME?

YES.

YOU SEE, MILO,

WE HAD TO:

FIND A BOY:

WHO WAS SO BORED,

HE WOULD GO ANYWHERE

AND DO:

ALMOST ANYTHING:

TO GET AWAY:

FROM IT ALL.

ONLY SUCH A BOY:

COULD RESCUE US.

BUT HE ALSO HAD TO

HAVE COURAGE AND CURIOSITY

AND KINDNESS.

THAT'S WHY WE CHOSE YOU.

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW.

I'VE MADE

SO MANY MISTAKES.

I'VE MESSED UP

THE WHOLE SKY, AND I--

NEVER FEEL BADLY

ABOUT MAKING MISTAKES,

BECAUSE OFTEN:

YOU LEARN MORE:

BY BEING WRONG:

FOR RIGHT REASONS...

THAN BY BEING RIGH FOR THE WRONG REASONS.

WHAT ABOUT TOCK?

HE'S BROKEN...

OR DEAD OR RUN DOWN

OR WHATEVER:

WATCHDOGS DO.

WE'VE GOT TO

HELP HIM.

WE CAN HELP EVERYONE

NOW, MILO.

YOU MEAN NOW THAT KING AZAZ

AND THE MATHEMAGICIAN

HAVE AGREED TO DISAGREE?

YES, MILO.

NOW THAT YOU'VE

HELPED THEM UNDERSTAND

HOW FOOLISH THEY WERE

TO DISAGREE AT ALL.

BUT HOW:

CAN WE GET DOWN?

THE STAIRWAY IS GONE.

WE THINK YOU MEAN

WHETHERWE CAN GET DOWN,

DON'T YOU, MILO?

BECAUSE UNLESS:

I'M MISTAKEN,

HERE COMES YOUR OLD

FRIEND THE WHETHER MAN.

WELL, NOW.

WELL, NOW. WELL, NOW.

IF IT ISN'T THE LITTLE BOY

WHO GOT LOS TRYING TO FIND HIS WAY.

EXPECT EVERYTHING,

I ALWAYS SAY,

AND THE UNEXPECTED

NEVER HAPPENS.

BUT NEVER MIND THAT.

WHAT YOU REALLY NEED NOW

IS A "HOW," ISN'T IT?

AND PERHAPS A "HERE"

TO GO WITH IT?

WITH A "HERE'S HOW,"

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.

OH, AND IT'S ALSO

AN EXCELLENT WAY

OF GETTING FROM:

ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

HERE'S HOW.

[TICKING]

[RINGING]

OH, TOCK...

HEH HEH...

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.

EGAD, I'M GORGEOUS.

COME ALONG. COME ALONG.

COME ALONG.

WE DON'T WANT TO MISS

THE GREAT CELEBRATION.

WHEW!

I REALLY THOUGH I'D BUSTED MY MAINSPRING.

OH, YES.
