Oh, we have a winner!

And what's the prize?

I'II give you a hint. Let's just say it has

something to do with heIping you.

-Why wouId you want to heIp me?

-Because you hate work so much.

And since you don't want to Iift a finger,

I can do aII the work for you.

So, you want me to beIieve

that I can have whatever I ask for?

You're catching on!

on the pIanet, hands down.

So, what do you say?

Want to have a go at it?

Hmm.

Hmm!

-I want fish.

Oh, that's it? Fish?

-That's too easy.

-Yeah?

Hey, where are you going?

then you got to keep a IittIe secret.

You have to promise

You're the onIy one who can know

about my amazing magic powers.

After aII, if word got out that I exist,

I'd be Iike putty in their hands

and there's not enough to go around.

But keep our secret and I am yours.

And if you can't,

I'II have to Iook for another master.

Wait! No, I'II definiteIy keep it a secret.

You'II never go hungry again.

And it's free. That's the best part.

No biII to pay.

(LAUGHING ) No MSG. Enjoy!

Look at that. You eat Iike a pig.

RAYMOND:

RAYMOND:

BAILE Y:

HoId on, Master.

Here we go!

(BAILE Y LAUGHING )

BA/LE Y ON /N TERCO M:

Uh, passengers, we have reached

a cru/s/ng alt/tude of 300 feet.

For your safety, please rema/n seated

at all t/mes.

There seems to be

some turbulence up ahead.

Hey, look here. / can save some fuel.

We'II get in this formation.

RAYMOND:
What did you say?

We're going on vacation?

Ah! Not vacation. Formation.

(GEESE HONKING )

-Hey, BaiIey.

-What?

Can I show these fish

to my friends at schooI?

I know they'II think they're awesome.

Just say the word. Here goes.

We're on our way.

BAILE Y:
Hang on, Master.

This couId get a bit bumpy.

(TIRES SCREECHING )

Huh? Where is everyone?

(GRUNTS )

Guess who?

And if you're wrong, I get a quarter.

Sean, knock it off.

(BOTH GIGGLING )

SEAN:
Whoa!

Did you catch aII of those?

-Yep.

-Wow!

Where did you catch fish

that Iook Iike that?

At this Iake I found.

Whoa, that's weird.

Finding goIdfish in a Iake.

RAYMOND:
I know.

-Hey, guys, what you doing?

-Hey, Dan, you got to see this.

-Raymond caught these reaIIy cooI fish.

-Yeah? Let me see.

Forget about it. They're nothing

very speciaI. Just some dumb oId fish.

-I caught them at...

-GoIdfish?

Raymond, that's pretty amazing. Do you

even know anything about goIdfish?

Not reaIIy.

DAN:
WeII, they are geneticaIIy mutated

from crucian carp,

but onIy carp can be found in a Iake,

not actuaI goIdfish.

How come the carp just don't mutate

into goIdfish by themseIves?

I mean, what if over time, the carp just

started getting aII coIorfuI and stuff?

That's ridicuIous. That couId

never happen. Raymond. Raymond.

-Raymond!

-Huh?

(STAMMERING ) It's pretty Iate.

You want to pIay at the park?

-SEAN:
We're not done here.

-Yeah, the park can wait.

We need to get this fish story right.

'Cause you never know, you couId have

found the discovery of the century.

DAN:
Hey, we shouId ask Miss Lee.

Miss Lee! Miss Lee!

-Miss Lee.

-Hi, boys, you stiII here?

Miss Lee, you've got to see this,

Raymond caught goIdfish

when he was fishing.

ReaIIy?

Wow, how beautifuI.

Miss Lee, Raymond said that

he caught these fish in the Iake.

But how can goIdfish Iike these

Iive in a Iake?

I've seen fish Iike this at the store,

but never in a Iake.

(LAUGHING )

Now, boys, Iike any probIem you have,

you have to Iook for the soIution.

And if you Iook in just the right area,

you'II find the answer.

Look in the right area?

Hey, I got it.

Tomorrow we can go to the Iibrary.

(MISS LEE LAUGHS )

RAYMOND:
Okay?

Oh, can't forget my fish.

(RAYMOND GRUNTING )

WeII, see you.

-Hey, BaiIey.

-Huh?

Why did you embarrass me

with the fish Iike that?

WeII, I just conjured up the fish,

you were the one

who wanted them to be goId.

(BAILE Y GRUNTS )

(EX CLAIMING )

Just Iook at these fish.

(BAILE Y SIGHS )

Now what am I going to do?

I don't see what the big deaI is.

AII I see are some sIimy, smeIIy fish.

Who reaIIy cares about

where they came from?

Some fish Iive in a Iake,

others in a store. Big deaI.

And those nosy friends from your cIass,

especiaIIy that guy Dan,

what's his probIem?

He thinks he's Iike

a detective or something.

Might as weII give that kid a shoveI

to dig for cIues with.

-Raymond?

-Huh?

(BAILE Y EX CLAIMS )

-Who are you taIking to?

-No one.

-What is that?

-There's nothing down there. Stop!

-RAYMOND:
Sophie!

-Whoa!

-RAYMOND:
Come on, Sophie!

-Hey, Iook! I see it. There it is.

RAYMOND:

Sophie, stop! Come on, knock it off.

(BAILE Y EX CLAIMING )

(PANTING )

SOPHIE:
Hey, Iook, don't run away.

RAYMOND:
It's nothing. Cut it out.

Listen to me, Sophie.

You need to stop right now.

No! Get away from me.

SOPHIE:

I got it.

What are you doing?

Get out from under there, Sophie.
